Lin Ruoxi was confused as she stared at Lanlan who was bouncing up and down, imitating how she killed those bad guys.
Cai Yuncheng and others werenât denying it either.
Lin Ruoxi subconsciously touched her forehead trying to remember what happened, âIâŠI killed them? How is that possibleâŠI donât remember anythingâŠâ
They could tell that Lin Ruoxi wasnât lying. She had truly forgotten everything.
Cai Yuncheng and Yang Gongming exchanged gazes, both of their facial expressions looked concerned.
âItâs okay if you canât remember anything. Nothing else matters as long as youâre fine.â Guo Xuehua was still overwhelmed by the incident.
Yang Gongming nodded, âRuoxi, itâs fine if you canât remember it. This incident is weird but youâve been cultivating for some time so itâs understandable that you could do it. However, from tomorrow onwards, Iâll have you and Lanlan be escorted by bodyguards. I canât have you both be in danger before Yang Chen returns.â
Lin Ruoxi nodded obediently because she couldnât recall what happened, but she still couldnât relax as there were no updates about Yang Chen.
Seeing how they have suffered from the kidnapping, Guo Xuehua cooked some lotus seed congee to calm them down and she even fed Lanlan a scrumptious dinner before asking them to rest early.
Even though they were glad to have them back safely, Yang Chenâs disappearance cast a dark shadow onto their clan which made them uneasy.
It was late at night, but Cai Yuncheng had yet to leave.
He cared a lot about the Yang clan, now that he was part of the clan because of his daughters.
Yang Gongming sat by the desk while looking at the photos from the warehouse with a deep frown.
Cai Yuncheng spoke, âMister Yang, Iâve looked into these people and they were all from the Liang clan, raised by Liang Shengchuan secretly. They were all in the pinnacle of the Houtian stage which shouldnât be underestimated.â\nâThe Liang clan is inactive, they couldnât have entered Beijing without someoneâs help. They had also gotten a police car to use as their cover.â Tian Long continued.
Yang Gongming put down the photos and took a sip of his tea, âThey werenât doing this for the Liang clan. If they wanted to seek revenge, they wouldâve killed Ruoxi and Lanlan instead of trying to steal Yang Chenâs cultivation technique.â
âThatâs what I thought too. The Ning clan is the most ambitious and theyâre the only capable of doing this. But then again, I doubt Ning Guangyao would be that dumb.â Cai Yuncheng frowned.
Yang Gongming chuckled, âNing Guangyao wouldnât care about the suspicion. He would be fearless as long as Yang Chenâs not around. Even if we knew that heâs the culprit, we still wouldnât be able to do anything to him. Well, thereâs also a chance that someone framed the Ning clan as Yang Chen does have a lot of enemiesâŠâ
Cai Yuncheng concurred and as if he was reminded of something, he motioned Hai Xiao to talk about it, âTell Mister Yang about our analysis.â
Hai Xiao nodded and stood up, âAccording to the traces of fighting and cause of death, we found out that if it was true that Miss Lin killed them, her technique is flawless. The forensic doctor confirmed that they were killed within 30 seconds which meant that one person was killed every three seconds. Even the best assassinâs might not have been able to do it flawlessly. Judging by the soldiersâ abilities and weapons, Miss Lin must be extremely familiar with pistols and knives that sheâs able to predict the trajectory of the bullets and their movements. Only then can she kill all of them without being injured. According to our intel, itâs unlikely that you can find someone with such abilities even in the top assassin organization, ZERO. Yang Chen is one of them but itâs pretty impossible to find someone like him.â\nYang Gongmingâs expression was sombre as he looked at the photos silently. He could feel the bloodshed of battle just by looking at them.
âFrom what we know, Ruoxi does have cultivation but itâs impossible for her to kill a dozen people with the same cultivation as her, not to mention that they are trained soldiers. If she truly killed them, she might be hiding something that we are unaware of.â Cai Yuncheng analyzed the situation.
âGeneral, sorry for being blunt but for someone to have such techniques, theyâd have to be talented at murder, and have to had also undergone harsh trainings for at least five years with experience at combat. I donâtâ think she can have such hidden abilities given that her background is well-known by everyone.â Hai Xiao shook his head.
The room turned silent at his statement. They knew that he was right. There were strong records about Lin Ruoxiâs life from birth to adulthood so todayâs incident just didnât make sense.
Yang Gongming sighed in the end, âRegardless of the truth, please take care of them. As for Zhonghai, Iâll arrange guards from the Jiangnan military base. Time will tell us about the secret on RuoxiâŠâ
Back in the Jade Fox Palace in the Ten Thousand Demon Realm, Hui Lin sat on the lounge chair while staring at the scenery outside.
It had been her sixth day of being locked in the palace but Yu Xuening treated her well, and had arranged maids to serve her.
Even so, it didnât cheer her up. As she couldnât step out of the room, she could only learn from the maid outside the door that Yu Xuening had imprisoned Yang Chen without any reason.
âWhat are you thinking about? Your lover?â A melodious yet teasing voice was heard from behind.\nHui Lin turned back abruptly and saw that Yu Xuening was looking at her with an amorous gaze.
Even if Hui Lin was a woman, she was still briefly mesmerised by a beauty like her.
âYou finally showed up, what are you trying to do to us?â Hui Lin questioned.
Yu Xuening twirled her hair and answered nonchalantly, âI only came at this time because I figured you would throw a tantrum if I came earlier. It is only common courtesy for me to visit my guest especially since youâve calmed down now. As for my motive, itâs simple, I want you guys to stay here as my guests.â
âIâm not a fool! If youâre inviting us over as your guests, why did you imprison Brother Yang?!â Hui Lin was furious.
Yu Xuening sighed, âI donât think you know him well. Heâs stubborn and he wouldnât have agreed if I told him that I want him to stay here for a few years, so I had to lock him up by force.â
âWhatâŠwhat are you talking about?! Years?â Hui Lin raised her voice, âYouâre really planning on locking him up for years?!â
Yu Xuening thought it was plainly obvious, âWhy? Do you want me to let him out and have him die at the Heaven Tower?â
âOf course not! ButâŠâ Hui Lin struggled to complete her sentence, âAre you telling the truth? Will Brother Yang reallyâŠdie in the tower?â
Yu Xuening looked at her with a playful gaze, âYouâve been asking about Yang Chen from the moment I came in and you never asked about when Iâll let you go or what am I gonna do to youâŠit seems like you care more about him than yourself. Sister Hui Lin, do you really like him that much?â
Hui Lin was startled and she shook her head frantically to deny it but her flushed face said otherwise.\nâIâŠI donât, Brother Yang is my brother-in-law, why wouldâŠwhy would I like him?â
Yu Xueningâs eyes glinted as she asked, âDid you sayâŠheâs your brother-in-law? Thatâs weird, why would a sister-in-law and a brother-in-law come into this realm together? You two were flirty too. UnlessâŠyou two cheated on your sister?â
âYouâŠthatâs slander! We were chasing after a bad guy and got sucked into this realm by accident. We knew nothing about this realm! Also, nothing has ever happened between us!â
Hui Lin said so but her ears were warm, being reminded of the time when Yang Chen hugged her in the dark. Even her voice was shaking from it.
Yu Xuening teased her, âHear yourself out, youâve been calling him âBrother Yangâ instead of âbrother-in-lawâ and this means that you do have feelings for him. Besides, Yang Chen was willing to bring you along even if youâre a burden to him. It shows that he cares a lot about you and thereâs no point for you to deny it.â\n
