C478 Umbra
Bai Woo's trip to Mi Guo was not only to check Ann Qing's movements, but more importantly, to help Chu Yun find the truth.
"In addition, there is an unwritten rule in the Dark Shadow. If you fail the quest, you definitely won't be able to survive, which is why the Dark Assassin tried his best to assassinate you."
"Is there anyone who lives in seclusion after failing a quest?"
"This is absolutely impossible." Hearing Chu Yun's question, Bai Woo hurriedly said, "The orders from the Dark Shadow Department are all given directly by the upper management. If your mission fails, the upper management will send someone to deal with you. So, boss, the situation you mentioned shouldn't happen."
"It shouldn't be possible, and that doesn't mean there definitely won't be. Even if there's a one in a million chance of that happening, it's still a chance."
"Eh, boss, you're not asking me to become a Shadow Assassin and investigate from the inside, are you?" Bai Woo looked at Chu Yun with a bit of fear, as if telling everyone that he was scared.
Chu Yun did not directly answer his question, "Is Ann Qing being hunted or being protected?"
"Ann Qing is the one who placed the order."
Chu Yun looked at Bai Woo doubtfully, "He killed the An family?"
"No," Bai Woo shook his head. "Ann Qing wants to kill you."
"I found out that Ann Qing wanted to kill you because you killed An Kang. He couldn't touch you in China so he used some methods to find the Umbra, but strangely, the Umbra refused this business."
"Rejected? What do you mean by that?" Chu Yun didn't expect the hitman organization like the Umbra to reject business that came to his door.
"Ann Qing said it himself. That day, he was probably drunk. He pointed at the bartender and cursed loudly in Chinese. Because most of the people around them are Chinese, they can't understand what Ann Qing said."
"I was drinking in a small booth at the back that day. If Ann Qing wasn't scolding, I really wouldn't know that he was in this bar. As I approached, I heard him say that the Shadow used the An-har to kill you in exchange. "
"In other words, Shadow didn't take over this business, but he promised Ann Qing that he would be the leader of An clan. "The money hasn't been refunded, but since we didn't manage to get anything done for them, this Ann Qing came to Shadow to ask for an explanation."
After Chu Yun heard this, his eyebrows never relaxed, "Are you sure Ann Qing said it himself when he was drunk that day?"
"I'm pretty sure I was a long way from him, and I saw him limping and swearing from time to time, and I followed him all the way home, and before he got to the door he fell down and didn't come back until he was cold awake in the middle of the night."
"Boss, are you worried that all of this is just an act?" Bai Woo could understand Chu Yun's thoughts. After all, Ann Qing had just left Chang Prefecture for Mi Guo at the beginning. If it really was because of Shadow's failure to fulfill the contract, then he should have left early for Mi Guo.
"Take another look. If Ann Qing is really acting, then what does he mean by giving you this information?"
Chu Yun wasn't familiar with this Umbra at all. Something he wasn't familiar with was a troublesome matter.
"How about this, Boss, let Bob check it out. I've found out that he's really good at investigating. He's the one who found the single spot in the shadows."
Chu Yun suddenly looked at Bai Woo with an inquisitive gaze, "He didn't ask you for money?"
"No, I just accompanied him to a bar for a drink."
This Ghost King actually used one of his men. Good God, see how I'll deal with you later.
"Boss, what's wrong?"
"It's fine, I thought he would ask you for money. "He's really in for it."
After Bai Woo heard Chu Yun's words, he recalled the way Bob refused to let go while holding the money. He couldn't help but laugh out loud. "Boss really knows him so well."
Chu Yun was speechless. He didn't know Ghost King too well, but had been tricked by him several times. Which time wasn't it worth millions? Sigh, Longying Valley shouldn't be lacking in money, why is it in his hands, making me look like a pauper.
Bai Woo didn't need to return to the Mi Nation at this moment. After all, Ann Qing had already sensed Bai Woo's existence, so it was useless to go back. Besides, what did Ann Qing mean by his words?
Could it really be as Bai Woo said, because the An clan had been annihilated, they went to Shadow to demand an explanation?
If Ann Qing found a shadow to kill him, then he would believe it because he had some conflict with Ann Qing. Plus, due to the incident with Ankang, it was natural for Ann Qing to want to kill him.1
But if Shadow did not kill him, he really did not believe it. Even if Shadow knew his real identity, it was impossible for him to be so worried about Northwest Army and Dragon Head. The Shadow Group being able to roam all over the world for so many years, they must have some secret that no one knew.
Was he really afraid of Dragon Head? In any case, Chu Yun didn't really believe it.
His identity was indeed enough to intimidate this person, but those fugitives weren't afraid of anything at all. Even if it was the gods themselves, they probably wouldn't even look directly at him.
The people in the shadows should be like that.
"Boss, why don't I go?" Heita had gone to Siberia with Chu Yun, so he was clear what Chu Yun wanted to find out.
"No, you can't leave, your Ink Cloud can't leave without you, furthermore, the people from your Lau Family will arrive soon, don't tell me you don't want to marry Sister Qing?"
"But boss, no one is more suitable to go than me."
"Who said that the person more suitable than you is me?" Chu Yun didn't want Heita to take the risk for him. The Umbra didn't know much about Heita at the moment. If anything happened to Heita, he wouldn't be able to explain it to Lau Qingqing.
"No, Boss, you can't go even more. You still have Xiao Yu. If you leave, who's going to tell her a bedtime story?"
Heita knew that the Umbra was a huge existence, an existence that everyone was unfamiliar with. If Chu Yun went alone, he would definitely encounter an unpredictable danger.
Chu Yun could see that everyone was worried about him. He patted Heita on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry, I won't be going now. I still have to host your wedding. I'm leaving. Your wedding won't be possible without a host."
"Yeah, boss, why don't we call over Second Dragon Head and the others as well? "It's bustling with noise and excitement."
"Yeah, I haven't seen everyone in a long time, it's my fault you're thinking about it."
As the Bai Clan brothers spoke, they felt as happy as if they were getting married.
"The date has not been set yet, let's talk after that. Right now, your main focus is to guard this house. The Helian Family Master and Patriarch Han will also be here soon. It's about time for the matter of Helian Kui and Han Su to be exposed."
This time, Lau Family will not let this go, and will definitely follow them. And when Patriarch Han has doubts about Han Su, he will definitely invite Helian Family Master over, and at that time, there will definitely be a good show.
