"Haoling!"
Seeing that his silly brother actually used his body as a barrier to block Gui Cangwu's full-strength attack for Hua Qingcheng, and watching him spit out a mouthful of blood and fall into Hua Qingcheng's arms, Meng Yuzhen couldn't help but feel horrified, so he quickened his pace towards Meng Haoling.
"Hey, idiot!"
Hua Qingcheng felt heartbroken as she held the seriously injured and unconscious stranger boy in her arms.
Although Gui Cangwu's palm strike was full of violence, she could have dodged it with her skills. If it really didn't work out, she could have hidden herself in the space in a life-or-death situation, but now she had to owe this young man a favor for nothing.
Besides, they were strangers, so this selfless loyalty was a bit heavy. Furthermore, this young man was the son of Si Chengfeng's aunt, and they were cousins. Seeing him injured and unconscious, Hua Qingcheng felt a little guilty.
"Qingcheng, are you okay?"
Seeing that he couldn't get the upper hand against them, Gui Cangwu fled. Situ Ye looked at Hua Qingcheng, whose face looked a little grim, with a look of worry on his face.
"Aye, I'm fine. It's just him..." Hua Qingcheng looked at the young man lying in her arms with a little embarrassment.
"Haoling!"
Seeing her brother working himself to death for a strange woman, Meng Yu felt both distressed and angry, and her eyes turned unfriendly when she looked at Hua Qingcheng.
"Hua Qingcheng, my brother was injured because of you, why don't you take him to see a doctor immediately!" Meng Yuzhen shouted angrily.
"No need, the best doctor is here. Achen, come here!" The young man in her arms looked seriously injured, and Hua Qingcheng hurriedly called Han Yichen over.
"Xiao Qingcheng, leave him to me!"
"Okay."
After all, there are differences between men and women, and hugging a strange man like this would be bad for his reputation, so Hua Qingcheng nodded in agreement.
Han Yichen didn't really care whether this man was dead or alive, he was just simply dissatisfied with the fact that he was too close to Hua Qingcheng.
However, when Han Yichen stepped forward to take Meng Haoling from Hua Qingcheng's arms, the unconscious Meng Haoling still clung to Hua Qingcheng's sleeve with one hand. In the end, Han Yichen could only pout and give up. Even when Hua Qingcheng carried Meng Haoling back to Room 4 on the second floor of the inn, Meng Haoling's hand was still tightly tugging at Hua Qingcheng's sleeve.
After the fight ended, the innkeeper, waiter, and others got up to clean up the mess in Room 2. The broken roof would have to be repaired later. The innkeeper of the Yunlai Inn looked heartbroken, wondering if the owner would deduct her wages if they found out.
Because someone had died, the innkeeper sent a waiter to the government office to report the incident. Tianshui City, the capital of Wanzhan Province, heard of a major crime involving dozens of deaths in the suburbs. Governor Yi Ruochun personally led the chief constable and his detectives to the Yunlai Inn to investigate.
In the end, the detectives from Wanzhan Province carried away a total of 48 male corpses from the Yunlai Inn. All of them were dressed in gray clothes and had gray scarves covering their faces.
"It seems that this is an organized and disciplined killer." Yin Ruochun frowned slightly. This was the first major case she had encountered since taking office.
"Come here, bring those who fought with the gray-robed masked man back to the yamen for questioning!"
"Yes, sir."
After receiving the order, the captain of the police brought his detectives, led by the inn's waiter, to the door of Room No. 4 on the second floor, where they found Hua Qingcheng and others.
"Come here, arrest everyone inside!"
Following the captain's stern shout, the detectives armed with swords immediately stepped forward and tried to kick the door open and rush in.
However, before they could get on, the door was opened from the inside, and then the officials saw a handsome young man in moon-white brocade clothes appear in front of them.
"My dear ladies, we are the victims of assassination. You should investigate the assassins instead of arresting us." Si Chengfeng said slowly and unhurriedly.
"Please forgive me, sir! My surname is Nie, and I am the head constable of the Tianshui City government office in Wanzhan Province. We are only following orders. The governor is waiting for us downstairs and wants you to return to assist in the investigation."
The captain of the police and the constables, who were originally filled with anger because they were called up to work in the middle of the night, immediately calmed down after seeing such a handsome young man, and their attitude became much better.
"It's Captain Nie, nice to meet you! We were just passing by here, but were assassinated by the thieves innocently. Captain Nie, please explain the situation to the governor." Si Chengfeng said as he took out a badge of the General's Mansion from his sleeve and handed it to Captain Nie.
Although he didn't know who the other person was, he saw that he had an extraordinary demeanor and the badge on his waist looked extraordinary. He must be a nobleman in Beijing. Captain Nie then took the badge given by Si Chengfeng and went downstairs to report to Yin Ruochun.
"They are from the General's Mansion! You all wait here for now!"
"Yes, sir!"
Yin Ruochun, the governor of Wanzhan Province, took the gold-plated waist badge and looked at the dazzling "Phoenix" character engraved on it, but her hands holding the waist badge could not help but tremble.
Wow, boom!
This is a royal relative!
Yin Ruochun wiped the sweat from his forehead, and immediately went up to the second floor of the inn with the badge in his hand. He came to the door of Room No. 4, Tianzi, and respectfully saluted Si Chengfeng who was standing in front of the door, and returned the badge to him.
"Governor Yin, thank you for your hard work. We were just passing by here, but we were targeted by the thieves. I hope Governor Yin will conduct a thorough investigation and seek justice for us!" Si Chengfeng took the badge and said sternly.
"Mr. Feng, you have worked hard along the way. I have failed in my duty and allowed the criminals to take advantage of the opportunity within my jurisdiction. I am sorry to have frightened you! If you don't mind, why don't you move to the guest room of the Tianshui City Government Office to rest?" Yin Ruochun spoke in an official tone.
