Chapter 528 Not Let Him Down
Lu Youming thought this to himself, but when he looked into Yun Yichen's eyes, he didn't dare to say a word.
Seeing Lu Youming's cowardly appearance, Yun Yichen didn't intend to waste words with him and picked up Gu Shuyan to leave.
Lu Youming was terrified, but seeing Gu Shuyan about to be carried away, he instinctively stopped her, saying, "Where are you going? You are not allowed to leave without my order."
Hearing Lu Youming refer to himself, Yun Yichen turned around and sneered at him: "Orders? You will never give orders again."
At this moment, Lu Youming did not understand what Yun Yichen meant, but looking into Yun Yichen's eyes, Lu Youming felt as if he had fallen into an abyss, and was terrified.
After Yun Yichen carried Gu Shuyan away, he did not return to the capital immediately. He simply sent someone back to inform the Gu family that he was safe and sound, and then settled her in a small house in the villa.
"Zhong Lin, medicine kit."
Yun Yichen was extremely grateful that he had Zhong Lin bring a medicine box before coming. At this moment, Gu Shuyan's pulse was chaotic and seemed to be attacking her heart. He had to quickly administer acupuncture to stabilize Gu Shuyan's pulse.
After removing the silver needles, Yun Yichen gave Gu Shuyan a complicated look, and finally gritted his teeth to take off her clothes.
An hour later, Yun Yichen finally removed the last needle and let out a long sigh of relief.
"How is Lu Youming doing?"
Gu Shuyan's condition has stabilized; apart from still being unconscious, she is fine now.
Yun Yichen put away his medicine box before leaving the small house to inquire about the situation inside the villa.
"The Third Prince has been tied up, and the other servants in the villa have been locked up in the dismantled room and are being watched. However, there is a man who is making a fuss and saying that he wants to see you."
Zhong Lin initially didn't want to pay attention to the man, but the man revealed a secret about Yun Yichen. Zhong Lin then felt compelled to mention the message he had sent.
"See me?" Yun Yichen knew that Zhong Lin was not the kind of person to act rashly. Since he did not object to the man seeing him, it was enough to show that the man was not a simple character.
"Take me there," Yun Yichen glanced back at Gu Shuyan before closing the door and following Zhong Lin to see the man.
Upon seeing Yun Yichen arrive, the man revealed a wicked smile, "I didn't expect you to be so powerful now."
The man licked his lips as he spoke, a gesture that perfectly suited his assassin-like attire.
"Speak, what do you want with me?" Yun Yichen didn't want to waste his breath on him.
Seeing this, the man's smile faded slightly, and he said, "I can tell you something about the old man."
The man clearly knew Yun Yichen; in fact, he knew quite a bit about him.
Yun Yichen stared at him, his eyes flickering with an unfathomable light. After a long while, he asked, "Conditions?"
As if he had known Yun Yichen would say that, the man immediately replied, "Release me, and give me another ten thousand taels of gold."
The man didn't seem to care at all about his exorbitant demands, as if ten thousand taels of gold were as simple as one thousand taels of silver.
Zhong Lin's mouth dropped open at these words, while Yun Yichen, the person involved, remained unmoved and said, "Deal."
What?! Ten thousand taels of gold were sold! Is their master really that rich? They didn't even need to think about it or haggle over the price?
Zhong Lin and the others were stunned, but the man was not surprised by Yun Yichen's answer at all. Even if he didn't know the exact amount of Yun Yichen's assets, he had a general idea.
Ten thousand taels of gold was not a small amount for him, but it was not an unacceptably large amount either.
Having received the promise, the man was still somewhat uneasy. "What if you don't give me the gold after I leave? Wouldn't I be at a loss?"
"Bring paper and ink," Yun Yichen said without explanation, and had someone bring paper and ink. He then wrote it down in black and white.
Seeing this, the man in black said with relief, "The old master actually trained not only you and His Highness the Crown Prince, but also people in the Great Zhou royal family. Haven't you always been curious about who planted Concubine Zhang in the Marquis's mansion and who instructed Concubine Zhang to harm Miss Gu? That was done by that member of the Great Zhou royal family."
Yun Yichen had actually wondered if that person was one of the old man's men, since there were very few people besides the old man who wanted Gu Shuyan dead back then.
"Why should I believe you?" Although Yun Yichen believed seven or eight parts of what you said, he didn't show it on his face.
Seeing Yun Yichen's boastful expression, the man looked at her with a wicked smile: "I know where the maidservant next to Aunt Gu is hiding?"
The "aunt of the Gu family" naturally refers to Aunt Qiao. In order to get information out of her, Gu Shuyan deliberately said that the maid had been captured, but in reality, that maid was not an ordinary maid at all.
Right under the noses of the Gu family guards, the maid actually injured several guards and disappeared from the Yi'an Marquis's residence.
The Gu family tried to find this person afterward, but the maid seemed to have vanished into thin air.
"After saying all that, you haven't told me who the other party is, nor have you given me the maid's address. With such useless information, you still want ten thousand taels?"
Yun Yichen looked at the man in black, almost as if to say, "Do you think I'm stupid?"
The man then realized that he had gotten carried away and forgotten to finish his sentence, so he quickly added, "I just said it! You would never guess who this member of the royal family of the Great Zhou is. He is none other than Lu Changqing, the fourth prince of the Great Zhou."
Yun Yichen was quite surprised by what the man said. He had previously discovered that Lu Changqing was not simple, and now it was revealed that Lu Changqing was originally the old man's man.
As expected, the old man never disappoints him!
"Where is that maid? Where is she now?" Yun Yichen pressed.
Upon hearing this, the man beckoned to him. Yun Yichen took a few steps forward, and after the man finished speaking, a long sword pierced straight into the man's chest.
"You, you..."
Before the man could finish speaking, he died right before Yun Yichen's eyes, his eyes wide with disbelief.
"Master!" Zhong Lin exclaimed, puzzled.
Yun Yichen wiped the blood off his hands and replied, "A person who will sell information for money is only a threat if kept alive. If we encounter a similar situation one day, he will spare no effort to betray me and Yunzhi, so I must kill him."
Yun Yichen was not a man who broke his promises, but after the man revealed that he knew that both he and Xu Yunzhi had been raised by the old man, he decided to kill him.
That's why he was able to agree to all of his conditions without batting an eye, including the ten thousand taels of gold.
"Pack up, take a few men and keep an eye on the place he mentioned, see if that maid is inside, and whether she is one of Lu Changqing's people."
