405: Chapter 405: [The Same Enemy] 405: Chapter 405: [The Same Enemy] I don’t know how many blocks I had to circle, but the dark figure ahead finally came to a stop.
“Who are you?
What do you want with me here?” Fu Shiyin asked with her face full of caution, while silently sizing up her surroundings.
“Miss Fu, rest assured, I mean you no harm!” The person didn’t turn around, but spoke up.
Fu Shiyin was startled, “Then why are you looking for me?
And how do you know who I am?”
Fu Shiyin was puzzled.
Ever since their arrival in Jiangnan, they had been discreet in their actions, not drawing attention, so no one should have known their identities.
“That’s not important, Miss Fu.
What’s important is that you want to solve the case, but you have no clues, and your elder brother Gu won’t let you get involved!” the person continued.
Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyin’s expression changed drastically.
How could the other party know so much?
“Speak, who are you really?
What’s your purpose?” Fu Shiyin’s gaze fixed on the person.
“There’s no need to panic, Miss Fu, I won’t trouble you.
I’m here to help you tonight.
Do you want to solve the case or not?”
With one sentence, they hit the nail on the head, striking straight at Fu Shiyin’s heart.
Fu Shiyin dearly wished to crack the case and return to Capital City as soon as possible.
The longer she stayed in Jiangnan, the more she realized how much Gu Shaoqing cared for Chen Xijun.
“You can help me?” Fu Shiyin asked doubtfully.
“Indeed, I have something you want in my hands!” the person said with a laugh.
“Heh!” Fu Shiyin scoffed coldly, “Why should I believe you?”
“What a coincidence, I have a vast amount of clues in my hands.
Miss Fu, if you don’t act now, I’m afraid your elder brother Gu might really be taken by another woman.”
Fu Shiyin was stunned and then questioned, “What do you mean by that?”
“One of the clues is connected to Chen Xijun!”
“What are you saying?
Chen Xijun knows everything?” The astute Fu Shiyin immediately grasped the person’s intention.
“I wouldn’t say she knows everything, but she should at least be aware of the basic situation.”
Anger flashed across Fu Shiyin’s face, “It must be her, I’ve had my suspicions all along.
I’ve told elder brother Gu before that there’s something wrong with her, but unfortunately, he just wouldn’t listen.”
“I also have a clue about the death of Fourth Master!” the person added.
“What clue?”
“The clue you’re looking for is all in a tablet, which I left on top of the first garbage bin at the street corner!
I believe it will be of help to you!”
Fu Shiyin nodded, then added, “Why are you helping me?
What do you want from me?”
“Heh, I don’t need anything in return.
We just share a common enemy.
I forgot to tell you, your elder brother Gu was injured some time ago!”
“I know about his injury!
Is there a problem?” Fu Shiyin asked.
“Haha!” The person laughed, “If you want to take revenge for elder brother Gu, then keep investigating!”
“Are you implying that the person who injured elder brother Gu is the one we’ve been trying to find?” Fu Shiyin asked, shocked.
The person didn’t reply, merely lifted their feet and slowly walked away.
Watching their retreating figure, a hint of confusion flickered in Fu Shiyin’s eyes.
Following the instructions, Fu Shiyin arrived at the corner where the first trash can was located, and sure enough, there was a tablet placed on top of it.
After turning on the tablet, Fu Shiyin’s eyes did not blink as she read on, but gradually, her expression underwent a change, becoming utterly shocked.
Inside, there were not only text documents but also a massive amount of video materials.
…
“Junior sister, did you call us here for something?
Why isn’t Elder Brother Gu here?” Liang Hongjun asked with confusion.
Equally puzzled was You Ming and Peng Yu, but Gu Shaoqing was notably absent.
Fu Shiyin looked at them, her eyes glittering with sharpness, and her demeanor exuded strong confidence, “Elder brothers, I have called you here today because there is an urgent matter!
You need to keep it a secret for the time being, especially from Elder Brother Gu, whose involvement must be kept absolutely confidential!”
“What is it, junior sister?
Just tell us quickly, we will definitely keep it a secret!” Peng Yu was already impatient.
“Yes, junior sister, please tell us quickly!” Liang Hongjun was also somewhat anxious.
A cold smirk appeared on Fu Shiyin’s lips: “Based on my extensive investigations, I have made significant progress on the case series that happened in Jiangnan!”
“What?
There’s a lead?” The few men nearly jumped up.
Each one of them was an elite from the Six Fan Sect and had come to Jiangnan to make a big impact, but they had all been overshadowed by Gu Shaoqing, leaving them idle to the point of illness.
Hearing that Fu Shiyin had a lead, how could they not be excited?
“That’s right, and it’s a significant lead.
With the help of you three elder brothers, I believe we can catch that person before tomorrow!” said Fu Shiyin with confidence.
“That person?
We’re finally going to face them!” Thinking of the horrific scene of the Fourth Master’s and others’ deaths and that person’s terrifying skills, Peng Yu’s entire being surged with hot blood, his eyes filled with a strong will to fight.
Liang Hongjun’s face also lit up with joy; he was the one most dissatisfied with Gu Shaoqing.
He had come to Jiangnan to make his mark, but was suppressed by Gu Shaoqing and left with nothing to do, harboring many complaints in his heart.
“Junior sister, whatever the lead is, just tell us; we will follow your lead!” Liang Hongjun said.
Fu Shiyin distributed the prepared materials to the three men and said, “The lead materials have already been organized by me, including the process of each case.
Now all we lack is concrete evidence!”
“Junior sister, you’re really incredible, summarizing everything so thoroughly!
I am impressed!” Liang Hongjun couldn’t help but praise.
Fu Shiyin smiled proudly: “I have other tactics as well, guaranteed to be deadly in one strike!
Now what we need is to capture these two individuals and obtain evidence from their mouths!”
“Let’s follow the plan junior sister has laid out, and we can act tonight!” Liang Hongjun declared.
“Right!
Finally, I can get in some action; my body’s been rusting from the inactivity!” Peng Yu was already chomping at the bit.
You Ming, who had been silent until now, finally spoke up: “Junior sister, before we act, to be on the safe side, shouldn’t we inform Elder Brother Gu?
After all, this matter is of great significance!”
“Inform him of what?
You Ming, haven’t you realized yet?
All of Elder Brother Gu’s thoughts are on Chen Xijun…” Peng Yu suddenly realized he had misspoken, immediately stopped himself, and looked at Fu Shiyin unsurely.
Fu Shiyin’s face darkened as she glared at Peng Yu.
“Indeed, Xiao Yu is right.
And You Ming, don’t you know that in Elder Brother Gu’s eyes, we are just a bunch of kids who never grow up?
He always believes we can’t complete such tasks; we also need to show our worth and prove our abilities to Elder Brother Gu!” Liang Hongjun said indignantly.
“Alright!
It’s also time to prove ourselves!” You Ming’s mood seemed roused by Liang Hongjun.
“Then let’s set off according to my plan.
Me, You Ming and Peng Yu in one group.
Elder Brother Liang, you by yourself in another group.
We’ll meet at Barracks 26 in two hours!
I’ve already given them a heads up,” Fu Shiyin instructed.
“Agreed!”
Jiangnan University.
“Yahui, someone is looking for you!”
