189: Two investigations on her

Two investigations on her

The Jing Sect.

An ancient door with carvings of giant flowers slowly opened. A bunch of men dressed in black suits followed a lean and tall silhouette inside.

The man, who was walking against the light, had an extremely handsome visage. His lips were gently pursed together, his eyes were cold and profound, and his aura was extraordinary.

The leader who tried to kill Gu Beihan had been waiting on the side for a long time. He came forward and greeted, "Sect Leader, our mission to assassinate Gu Beihan failed. He…"

Peng Yue's hands that were unbuttoning the cuffs of his sleeves paused, then he interrupted, "Who ordered you to kill Gu Beihan?"

There wasn't much emotion in his voice, but it was full of imposingness.

The man in black was startled and quickly kneeled, "Team Li accepted the mission and ordered us to go. Sect Leader, you weren't here, so Head Li from the Jing Sect had the most power. We didn't dare to disobey Head Li's order."

Peng Yue's lips stretched a little. In a tone that was commanding but not angry, he instructed, "Bring him over."

Qi Feng, who was standing on the side answered, "Yes, sir."

Before long, Qi Feng dragged someone to Peng Yue and threw him down onto the ground.

Peng Yue sat in the leader's seat and his frigid gaze peered down at the person who was by his feet. "Who gave you the guts to provoke Gu Beihan?"

Li Hai's body quivered, "S… Sect Leader… I don't know. I saw that someone had placed a request, so I accepted it. You…"

Peng Yue interrupted him, "Who's the employer?"

Li Hai's fingers slightly curled before he hesitantly spoke, "It's the fourth uncle of Gu Beihan, Gu Xiang."

Peng Yue smirked, "Very well."

Then, he instructed Qi Feng, "There's a document in the study room that has records of all the crimes Gu Xiang has committed over the years. Send someone to bring it over to young master Gu."

"Yes, sir." Qin Feng turned around to look at Li Hai, "Then, this person…"

"He broke Jing Sect's rules. You know what to do."

Li Hai's face looked as dead as dust after hearing those words. He crawled to the front, "Sect Leader, please just forgive me this once. I know what I did wrong, Sect Leader!"

Peng Yue lifted his feet to avoid his touch before cruelly saying, "Take him away."

After Li Hai was taken away, Peng Yue looked over to the man in black, "What else do you have to say? Speak."

The gangster in black walked up to him and thought about it. He then asked, "Sect Leader, is young master Gu really that powerful?"

Peng Yue raised the teacup his subordinate brought and blew at it mindlessly.

Since he admired Gu Beihan as a person, he couldn't help but say a few words, "Why else do you think he is the one sitting on the iron throne and not his fourth uncle? You all failed to kill him also."

The gangster in black continued, "But we almost succeeded. It's just that halfway through, a girl appeared and saved him."

Peng Yue placed down the teacup and looked over to him.

The man in black continued, "That girl was extraordinarily skilled. Even I was no opponent of hers. Young master Gu is now under her possession."

"A girl..Hmm, things are turning out to be more interesting," Peng Yue rubbed his chin.

Just then, Qi Feng returned, and reported to Peng Yue, "Sect Leader, I have found out everything. For a while now, Li Hai had persistently pursued Gu Xiang's daughter. The reason he accepted the mission this time was also to leave a favorable impression on Gu Xiang."

Peng Yue did not comment and continued, "Go and find out everything about the girl who saved Gu Beihan."

Qi Feng was a little startled. However, he had been with Peng Yue for a while now and naturally could tell how cold his voice was.

Not daring to think anymore, Qi Feng accepted his task, "Yes, sir."

Meanwhile, in Yun Jian's villa.

"I think I have seen him somewhere," Yun Jian mumbled to herself, unsure if she was right or wrong.

"What are you saying?" Qin Yan turned to look at Yun Jian while wiping Gu Beihan's blood stained face.

"Nothing...nothing, after the blood is wiped off, he looks even more handsome," Yun Jian exclaimed like a little fangirl.

Qin Yan looked at the man lying flat on the bed. His delicate features made him so handsome, he didn't even look real.

He had a demonic face so enchantingly beautiful and a dangerously handsome visage that scrambles hearts.

Even she had to agree with Yun Jian at this point. If not for Xi Ting, this man would be the most handsome person she had ever seen!

Qin Yan finished cleaning off everything and decided to leave for her dormitory. As soon as she was about to go out of the room, he wrist was grabbed by Yun Jian, "Where are you going?"

Qin Yan sighed, "To my campus!"

"I have already informed your dorm warden that you won't be able to return tonight. Stay here," Yun Jian looked over at the man lying on the bed, "After all this is a trouble you brought. You have to be responsible for him. Don't try to push it on me."

Qin Yan held her forehead. She knew that Yun Jian found this too troublesome. After all, she was not wrong. She had decided to rest after a month long mission but Qin Yan had disturbed her rest by bringing a stranger in her house.

Thinking of all this, Qin Yan agreed to stay.

In the middle of the night, the man lying on the bed opened his eyes. The pair of eyes were exquisite. At night time, they were soul snatching and in the daytime, they were even more demonic and uncontrollably desirable.

At the same time, a person from outside the window entered.

"Brother, I thought your body turned cold the moment you came to the country. I cannot believe that not only did you survive a catastrophe, you were saved by a girl."

"Huo Jinghang."

Gu Beihan softly uttered out three characters that made Huo Jinghang shudder instantly.

No longer daring to tease any further, he said in a serious tone, "I have investigated. The people who came to kill you were people from the Jing Sect. The one who hired them was your fourth uncle."

Just as he finished speaking, a man flipped inside from outside the window.

Huo Jinghang peeked at his watch and clicked his tongue, "Huo Yunque, you were just buying some clothes. You took far too long."

The man named Huo Yunque ignored Huo Jinghang and walked towards Gu Beihan. With a thump, he kneeled.

"I couldn't protect you, young master. Please punish me."

Huo Jinghang was silent for a second and then looked over to Gu Beihan's wound with a frown.

"Get up." Gu Beihan's voice sounded lazy and there was a look of exhaustion in his eyes. It was obvious that he's never had much interest in punishing anyone.

Huo Yunque straightened up and handed the document he had in hand to Gu Beihan, "This was sent by the Jing Sect Leader. He said it counts as his apology. The person who accepted the request has been dealt with – which was done to provide you with closure."

Gu Beihan didn't move and also did not express any opinion.

Huo Jinghang took over the document and glanced it over. His eyes brightened. "I cannot believe that person possesses so much information on that old man. There is sufficient evidence for him to squat in jail long enough to make a hole through the ground!"0

Gu Beihan glanced over the documents in Huo Jinghang's hands and an eerie smile flashed by.

He didn't comment on the documents instead looked over to Huo Yunque, "Look up the details regarding the girl who saved me. I want every information about her."

Though he didn't retain much memory from the incident, he hazily remembered the people who were trying to kill him catching up to him.

That girl was able to protect him when assassins from the Jing Sect were trying to kill him – she wasn't someone simple.

After Huo Yunque left, Huo Jinghang stared at his wound and expressed the suspicion he had.

"I haven't seen you get injured for many years. Even Peng Yue himself was never able to hurt you, why would his subordinate be able to? Did your old sickness come back?"

Gu Beihan closed his eyes and ignored him. It was the same as a silent confirmation.

Huo Jinghang felt a wave of retrospective fear. He closed his eyes and when he reopened them, his voice dropped by a few degrees, "Brother, it is still dangerous in the country. You should take care of yourself!"

Gu Beihan stomped his foot towards Huo Jinghang. "You brat! You are telling me what to do now?"

Huo Jinghang didn't dodge and squarely took on this kick.
