Chapter 339: Chapter 339 Shameless Qin Jia and Qin Fang (7)

The Guh Family butler lifted his eyelids and looked at the bloodstains on the servant’s body, letting out a helpless sigh, "What can I do? With the second daughter in her current state, and the Family Head’s temper, which you know all too well. Ah, I just hope the second daughter can pull through this ordeal. Endure it for now, and after this matter has passed, I’ll give you a few more days off."

The servant had no choice but to nod reluctantly.

While the two were speaking in the corridor, the door to Guh Siqing’s room slowly opened.

"Second Miss? How come you’ve come out?!" The servant was taken aback upon seeing Guh Siqing standing at the bedroom door, as if she had seen a ghost.

It wasn’t an overreaction; Guh Siqing looked truly ghastly at the moment. The original cold beauty and poise were gone. The continuous sedatives administered by the doctors over the past few days had changed her completely within a matter of hours. Plus, with Gu Yelin’s bizarre punch, Guh Siqing’s entire face was now unbearable to behold. The servant turned around to see such an abstract sight silently appearing at the door; it was no wonder she was startled.

Guh Siqing ignored the servant’s shock and, with her intact left eye, gave her a cold glance, asking, "Where’s Grandfather?"

Both the servant and the butler were shuddered by Guh Siqing’s chilling gaze.

"The, the Family Head is in the study!" the servant hurriedly responded, snapping back to reality.

Guh Siqing took a step to walk out.

The butler was startled and quickly blocked her path.

"Second Miss!"

Guh Siqing frowned displeasedly and looked coldly at the person standing in her way.

"Second Miss," the butler said with a bit of courage, speaking in a low voice, "going to see the Family Head looking like this might be too abrupt for his old man. How about you change clothes first, and then... uh... cover up your face a bit? What do you think?..."

After finishing his sentence, the butler subtly stepped to the side, fearing that Guh Siqing’s anger might spill over to him.

Guh Siqing paused, a flash of resentment and unwillingness crossing her left eye. She stood rigidly, her fists clenched tightly, as she took a deep breath. Then, she turned and went back into her bedroom.

A moment later, Guh Siqing emerged from her bedroom dressed in white, with a silk scarf tied around her face, covering the area below her eyes.

The Study

"Have you found out the details of Old Zhang’s death?" Guh Tian asked while looking down at a book, addressing Ah Chen standing beside him.

"I’m sorry, Family Head, Ah Chen is incompetent."

"You didn’t find out?" Guh Tian was taken aback, lifting his eyes from the book, puzzled, "Nothing at all?"

Ah Chen lowered his head, saying softly, "Nothing at all. The people responsible for guarding outside at the time of Old Zhang’s death were all alert, and they didn’t hear anyone coming or going. I have also investigated the bedroom inside and out, but the killer left no trace."

Guh Tian frowned. He had originally thought Old Zhang’s case was a simple vendetta, maybe someone had taken advantage of his injury to strike. But the situation seemed to have exceeded his expectations.

Ah Chen looked at the contemplative Guh Tian, struggled for a moment, but then spoke up.

"Family Head, the two people I assigned to guard Old Zhang were at the Innate Realm Mid-Level of strength, even more skilled than I am. Logically, it would be impossible for them not to hear any sound. Do you think it could be because..."

"You think it was An Yiqing?" Guh Tian’s eyes flashed, raising an eyebrow and asking.

"Ah Chen is just speculating. Xuandu City is full of experts, and it might not necessarily have been for her."

Guh Tian clearly understood Ah Chen’s words. Old Zhang had offended An Yiqing during the day, and by night he was killed without leaving a single trace. Such skill was definitely within Gu Yelin’s means!

Guh Tian lowered his aged eyes, his gaze inscrutable.

At that moment, a knock on the door was heard.

Ah Chen went to open the door and then looked stunned.

"Family Head, the Second Miss has arrived," Ah Chen said, going up and whispering into Guh Tian’s ear.

"Hmm, she’s awake?" Guh Tian barely lifted his eyelids, asking in an icy tone.

"It seems she is awake. Family Head, will you see her or not?"
