Do You Know Why the Master Wanted to Kill Yan Huang

Shen Wan'er's small face was a bit pale as she wore the coat that Xiao Lin had given her.

Upon learning about the murder that had occurred here, she felt incredibly panicked and scared.

Although there had been murders at her company before, those people had been trying to attack her, so their deaths hadn't caused her any psychological pressure.

But now, the victim was the boss of the Yan Xing Group - even someone of his status could be killed.

This meant the hotel was no longer safe, and the killer could be hiding among them.

Shen Wan'er fearfully grabbed Xiao Lin's wrist and asked with panicked eyes, "Xiao Lin, will you protect me?"

Looking at Shen Wan'er's fragile appearance, Xiao Lin felt a surge of emotion and earnestly replied, "I'll protect you even if it costs me my life!"

Hearing this, perhaps because she believed in Xiao Lin's abilities, Shen Wan'er felt much better and suddenly thought that Xiao Lin wasn't so bad after all.

At least he gave her a strong sense of security.

Gu Yan had already left her, and now...

She glanced at Xiao Lin, noting his strong sense of justice, his capabilities, and she could tell that he seemed to like her.

But to actually be with Xiao Lin...

When Shen Wan'er thought about how Xiao Lin was just a security guard at her company,

She dismissed the idea, deciding to think about it later.

On the surface, Shen Wan'er gratefully said to Xiao Lin, "Thank you, Xiao Lin."

Xiao Lin was stunned, then embarrassedly rubbed his nose and said, "Hehe, it's nothing."

Wan'er smiled at me, could she have feelings for me too?

Although Wan'er seemed to have some connection with Gu Yan, it didn't matter because...

I'm the one by Wan'er's side now!

However... despite thinking this, Xiao Lin couldn't forget about Wang Yulan, who had helped him find housing when he first arrived in Jianghai.

She was still in the hospital after being injured by him.

Then there was the young miss of the Bai family, who had the other half of the jade pendant he wanted.

These people all seemed to have some connection to Gu Yan, and none of them seemed to like him much.

Thinking about this, Xiao Lin felt an inexplicable sense of frustration and disappointment, though he couldn't quite place where these feelings came from.

Meanwhile, Gu Yan was still chatting idly with Bai Jun.

At this moment, Chen Yingyin, who had just come downstairs, immediately walked over upon seeing Gu Yan.

Upon meeting Gu Yan, Chen Yingyin got straight to the point, her expression rather grave: "Gu Yan, this matter is beyond our ability to resolve."

"These people's methods are too cruel. With your extensive connections, do you recognize this kind of killing technique?"

Bai Jun also looked at Gu Yan with surprise, not expecting Chen Yingyin to ask him.

It seemed the young master of the Gu family was indeed different from the rumors.

However, Gu Yan looked puzzled: "I can say with certainty that I've never seen this style of killing before."

As he spoke, his expression became indignant, and he clenched his fists tightly: "Such cruelty... Boss Yan was my most respected senior, yet he..."

Gu Yan closed his eyes and couldn't continue speaking, expressing both his hatred for the killer and his grief over Yan Huang's death.

Long Zaitian watched in bewilderment, thinking, 'I remember you didn't react like this when you first saw Yan Huang's body?'

Bai Jun was also surprised, realizing that Gu Yan had been suppressing his emotions all this time.

Only when asked did he finally let them out.

Thinking this, Bai Jun's gaze toward Gu Yan became more friendly.

No wonder he helped his sister - it turned out Gu Yan was also a man of honor and righteousness.

Bai Lian and Murong Ci noticed the commotion around Gu Yan.

The former pursed her lips: "What's this? So that guy's idol was that old man."

But what a pity, that guy had already been killed by their master.

Hehehe~ She couldn't wait to see Gu Yan's expression when he found out his idol was killed by her master.

Bai Lian smiled on the surface while internally anticipating Gu Yan's shocked and devastated expression when their master revealed their true identity.

Huh, mere man.

Murong Ci watched Gu Yan, and as she watched, she lowered her head, her eyes dimming.

Meanwhile, Chen Yingyin thought that Gu Yan was just being himself, still so kind-hearted, just like when he had berated Xiao Lin at the detention center.

Chen Yingyin had known then that Gu Yan was kind and despised evil.

She consoled him: "Don't be sad, Gu Yan. I'll report this to the bureau chief immediately and have him assign special agents to handle this case."

As she said this, Chen Yingyin glanced meaningfully at Bai Jun, her intention clear.

Bai Jun pretended not to notice.

No joke, the King of Hell Palace matter was being handled by those conservative faction people.

If he rashly got involved, things would get out of hand.

The two factions of martial artists might start fighting.

However, news of Yan Huang's death would probably reach the department's ears soon.

They'd have to wait and see how the boss would handle it then.

Upon hearing this, Gu Yan opened his eyes, which were now completely red as if he was holding back intense grief.

Old Gao watched silently from the side.

Young master... when did he ever have any connection with the King of Hell Palace?

The only contact had been just now when he threatened Long Zaitian about cooperating after Yan Huang's death, while standing on Tian Fang's body.

Could it be!

Old Gao's eyes widened - was the young master...

Having another personality split??

Should they go to the hospital...

Old Gao fell into deep thought.

Gu Yan took a deep breath and forced a smile as he said to Chen Yingyin: "Yes, I believe Uncle Chen will definitely find the killer."

"And soon... restore peace to our Jianghai!"

Clap!

Bai Jun laughed hearing this and patted Gu Yan's back: "Well said, Gu Yan. As I said before, you can come to me anytime if you need help."

He then looked at Chen Yingyin: "I'd like to examine the scene."

She knew his identity and nodded: "Alright."

Gu Yan coughed lightly: "Well, if there's nothing else for me here..."

Chen Yingyin nodded and comforted him: "Yes, Gu Yan, you should go home now. Don't worry too much, this has nothing to do with you."

"Alright, but Sister Yingyin, please be careful. It would be terrible if the killer is still at the scene."

Bai Lian: "........"

Chen Yingyin felt warmth in her heart and smiled, indicating she understood.

Outside, Long Zaitian chased after him: "Gu Yan, you're just leaving like this? What should I do?"

By now, Gu Yan had already dropped his grieving mode and was rubbing his eyes, which were sore from being squeezed to appear red, and said: "Just eat and drink as usual."

"Just wait to take over the Yan Xing Group."

As he spoke, Gu Yan looked at Long Zaitian with a mysterious glint in his eyes and said: "Don't forget to hold a press conference, and until then, focus on practicing your acting skills."

With that, he got into his luxury car and left the hotel.

Long Zaitian stood bewildered in the wind, watching the luxury car disappear from his sight.

He suddenly had a bad feeling.

He felt that Gu Yan's final look at him hadn't been well-intentioned.

No, no, no, right now we're in the same boat, after all, those people in black are also targeting and want to kill Gu Yan.

The King of Hell Palace and the Gu family united would definitely be stronger than Gu Yan fighting alone.

Long Zaitian shook his head vigorously, his gaze gradually becoming determined. Right now, he only needed to focus on how to inherit the King of Hell Palace!

He believed Gu Yan wouldn't sabotage him at such a crucial moment.

........

.......

The luxury car drove along the road.

While Gu Yan was thinking about his next move.

Suddenly.

A familiar voice appeared in his mind.

[What's your relationship with the King of Hell Palace?]

Hearing Mei Xue's voice, Gu Yan maintained his composure externally while closing his eyes and responding in his mind: "No relationship at all."

Hearing this answer, Mei Xue seemed to fall silent, then after some thought, continued asking.

[Do you know why master killed Yan Huang?]

So it was indeed Qingqiu's doing?

Gu Yan was startled, but... why? Wouldn't it have been better to keep him alive to control the King of Hell Palace?

He instinctively asked in his mind: "Why?"

[Because of you.]

!

Gu Yan was stunned. What??
