Chapter 740: 740
At this moment, Wang Bo chuckled and approached Zhou Yu, saying,
"Young Zhou, here’s the thing."
"We received a notification from the Haizhou Martial Pavilion stating that there’s a suspected assassination here, so we specially came over to take a look."
Zhou Yu was taken aback.
"The Mi Family is involved in an assassination, and you’re concerned as well?"
Facing Zhou Yu’s confusion, Wang Bo first glanced at Jiang Xin, and seeing that Jiang Xin didn’t say anything, Wang Bo then said,
"Actually, it’s nothing much. It’s just that something significant happened recently at the Shanghai Martial Pavilion, possibly related to an assassin organization. Although the Shanghai officials have locked down the news, there is great pressure from above to crack the case as soon as possible."
"So, our visit this time was also to try our luck and see if we could find any clues."
Zhou Yu blurted out,
"Are you talking about the assassination of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion minister?"
Upon hearing this, both Jiang Xin and Wang Bo were stunned.
Regaining her composure, Jiang Xin’s beautiful eyes immediately fixed intently on Zhou Yu.
"How did you find out about this matter?"
Zhou Yu thought it over; Ye Mengyun seemed not to have required him to keep it a secret, so he said,
"It was Red Leaf Villa, Ye Mengyun told me about it."
"Ye Mengyun?"
Jiang Xin was shocked.
"Why would she tell you something like this?"
"What is your relationship with her?"
A series of questions from Jiang Xin came one after another.
Zhou Yu squinted his eyes, slightly annoyed, and said,
"Miss Jiang, I’m not obliged to answer that kind of question, right?"
"Besides, what’s it to you."
"You..."
Jiang Xin was left speechless by Zhou Yu’s words and was fuming with rage.
Seeing this, Wang Bo hurriedly stepped in to smooth things over.
"Young Zhou, miss, let’s not get excited, we’re all on the same side here."
"Hmph, I’m not on his side," Jiang Xin said indignantly.
However, deep inside, she was extremely shocked by the relationship between Zhou Yu and Ye Mengyun.
Such a tremendous secret wouldn’t have been shared lightly, even by Ye Mengyun, unless the relationship was very close.
This young man really wasn’t simple.
Wang Bo gave a wry smile and looked at Zhou Yu.
"Young Zhou, since you already know, I won’t hide it anymore," he said.
"That’s right, we are here to investigate the assassination of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion minister. As for what happened here at the Mi Family, do you have any clues on your end?"
Zhou Yu was favorably impressed by Wang Bo and smiled,
"Wang Bo, follow me, I’ll take you to meet someone," he said.
Saying so, Zhou Yu walked outside and Wang Bo quickly followed, with Jiang Xin hesitating for a moment before following as well.
They arrived at a deserted corner outside, where Zhou Yu said indifferently,
"Come out."
As his voice fell, a dark shadow descended from the sky.
It was Gui Chi.
Seeing this person, Wang Bo was startled.
"He is?"
"He is from the Black Domain Assassin organization," Zhou Yu revealed.
At that disclosure, an immense aura immediately burst forth from Wang Bo, enveloping Gui Chi.
Under Wang Bo’s terrifying aura, Gui Chi’s complexion instantly turned pale.
Zhou Yu saw this and quickly stepped forward to intervene.
"Wang Bo, he is now my man," he said.
Hearing this, Wang Bo’s face showed a look of shock, and simultaneously, he withdrew his aura.
"How did you get involved with someone from the Black Domain Assassin organization?" he asked.
Zhou Yu smiled, without going into detail, simply stating,
"It was a fortuitous coincidence!"
Then, he turned to Gui Chi.
"Gui Chi, do you know about the assassination of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion minister?" Zhou Yu inquired.
Upon hearing this, Gui Chi shuddered, his face showing a conflicted expression.
Zhou Yu had originally intended just to help Wang Bo ask, without expecting any result, but seeing Gui Chi’s reaction, he immediately realized that Gui Chi knew something.
His eyes narrowed.
"Spill it," he commanded.
Gui Chi sighed and said,
"The death of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion minister is indeed related to the Black Domain Assassin organization," he admitted.
At this revelation, Wang Bo’s mood became unstable again, with his aura bursting forth once more.
"Is this true?" he demanded.
Wang Bo’s gaze was filled with a terrifying sense of oppression, aimed directly at Gui Chi.
Jiang Xin too was visibly shocked.
Under the immense pressure of Wang Bo’s aura, Gui Chi said with difficulty,
"Truthfully, I heard about this matter by chance."
"Besides the Black Domain Assassin organization, there’s another force involved in the assassination of the Shanghai Martial Pavilion minister, and it’s possible they are the main driving force."
"Who?"
"Tianyu Commerce Chamber!"
Upon hearing these four words, Wang Bo’s expression turned incredibly somber.
"Do you have evidence?" Jiang Xin asked.
Gui Chi, already harrowed by someone as formidable as Wang Bo and now being questioned by a young girl, felt somewhat dissatisfied and said,
"Who are you?"
Zhou Yu gave a faint smile and said,
"She is Jiang Xin, the daughter of the Shanghai city’s mayor!"
Hearing this, Gui Chi’s demeanor stiffened.
He quickly spoke with reverence,
"Miss Jiang, as I said before, I also just heard about it, I... couldn’t possibly have any evidence."
Zhou Yu also took the moment to vouch for Gui Chi,
"I can assure you, he’s not lying," he said.
Wang Bo’s eyes flickered with a profound light.
"If the Tianyu Commerce Chamber is really behind this, then that’s truly astonishing..." he reflected.
"Miss, we need to report this to your father immediately," he urged.
Jiang Xin understood the gravity of the situation and nodded solemnly.
"Okay, Wang Bo, I will call my dad as soon as we get back," she promised.
With the serious questioning out of the way, Zhou Yu once again turned his keen gaze onto Gui Chi.
"I’m finding out you know quite a few secrets, huh? I never asked before, yet you sure know how to keep quiet," he observed.
Gui Chi wore an embarrassed look.
"Mr. Zhou, loose lips sink ships," he muttered.
Zhou Yu scoffed.
"Cut the crap. If there’s anything else you haven’t said, spill it now."
After hesitating for a moment, Gui Chi then said,
"I also know a secret about the elder of the Bai Family in Haizhou..."
