Shen Hechuan didn't believe that anyone could have such abilities without a reason; there must be other reasons behind it.
We should wait until Gu Jingchun recovers before inquiring about this matter.
As Shen Hechuan was thinking, Ye Wenxi rushed over with a face covered in bruises.
The two exchanged a glance and tacitly refrained from bringing up the previous incident, instead getting down to business.
"Have you caught them?"
Ye Wenxi spoke, her face full of urgency.
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"Wait a little longer, they haven't come back yet."
As soon as he finished speaking, Tianji hurriedly returned.
As soon as he entered, he knelt on the ground, his face filled with shame.
"Your Highness, I am incompetent and have failed to capture the person."
Tianji glanced at Shen Hechuan with shame before continuing, "However, I found a trace on one of the people I killed."
As Tianji spoke, he handed a piece of paper with a symbol printed on it to Shen Hechuan.
Shen Hechuan took it, glanced at it, and immediately frowned.
"This logo..."
Tianji nodded and glanced at Ye Wenxi beside him.
Shen Hechuan glanced at him and nodded before Tianji continued:
"This is an assassin organization in the martial arts world. As long as there is enough money, they will kill anyone for them."
Upon hearing this, Ye Wenxi took a step forward and leaned over to take a look.
He gave a cold laugh after just one glance.
"Leave this to me. I'll find out their identity within a day."
With that, the man bowed respectfully to Shen Hechuan before leaving.
Tianji watched Ye Wenxi's departing figure, somewhat hesitant.
"Your Highness..."
Shen Hechuan shook his head.
"It's alright."
"Things in the martial arts world still need to be investigated by people in the martial arts world. For the time being, we just need to take precautions and wait for news."
After Shen Hechuan finished speaking, he made further arrangements.
"It's getting dark, and this isn't a good place to stay. Let's hurry and find a place to rest."
Furthermore, everyone should be on high alert; if they fail once, they will surely launch another sneak attack.
Tianji nodded in agreement and immediately made the arrangements.
That evening, they stopped at an inn.
This is a sparsely populated town. What is called an inn is just a few simple little rooms.
Shen Hechuan frowned slightly as he looked at the surroundings, but he understood that this was already the best inn in the area.
At this point, Gu Jingchun had regained some of his strength, but he still didn't have the strength to walk.
Shen Hechuan carried her directly from the carriage, ignoring the stares of the crowd, and carried her all the way to the room.
Xiaoman followed behind, carrying Gu Jinxi.
Behind him, Dr. Sheng Quan, carrying a medicine box, handed a freshly written prescription to the person next to him.
"Go and get the medicine according to this prescription, and be quick."
Shen Hechuan placed Gu Jingchun on the bed and looked at her with heartache.
"I'm sorry you've suffered."
Gu Jingchun blinked and spoke softly.
"It's not your fault."
"Have you found out who those people are?"
Shen Hechuan shook his head, "We don't have any clues yet. Ye Wenxi has already investigated, and we should have results soon."
Gu Jingchun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
"I trust Wenxi to get things done."
“If he says he can find it, then he definitely can.”
Upon hearing this, Shen Hechuan immediately snorted coldly.
"snort!"
"You actually believe him."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jingchun slowly raised his hand and gently placed it on Shen Hechuan's hand, softly comforting him.
"I know you might have a problem with Wenxi."
However, he was truly a learned and talented person.
If it weren't for his background, and if I hadn't happened to meet him and help him, someone like him wouldn't have been willing to follow me.
“If it weren’t for his help over the years, I wouldn’t have been able to establish Tianjing Trading Company so smoothly, and I wouldn’t be alive to meet you.”
Shen Hechuan understood that Ye Wenxi and Gu Jingchun had been partners for many years, but it was precisely because of this that he couldn't help but feel angry and disgusted.
Because he clearly saw in Ye Wenxi's eyes the way a man looks at a woman.
That look in his eyes wasn't innocent.
That's absolutely true.
However, he couldn't say much to Gu Jingchun; he could only keep it to himself and secretly get angry.
Gu Jingchun continued:
"I hope you can look at him with normal eyes, so that you can discover his abilities."
Shen Hechuan continued to snort coldly with a cold face, subtly changing the subject.
Are you feeling unwell anywhere?
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"No, everything is fine."
"Where is Jinxi?"
"The doctor said he's already asleep."
Speaking of Gu Jinxi, Shen Hechuan asked again, "Why does Jinxi have such great strength?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"I don't know, it's been like this since birth."
he……"
Gu Jingchun paused, intending to tell him about the poisoning directly.
However, considering that he hadn't fully investigated the matter, he decided not to say anything more.
After that, Shen Hechuan stayed by Gu Jingchun's side. Even though Gu Jingchun kept asking him to leave, he was unwilling to go.
Taking advantage of Gu Jingchun's inability to move, he simply stayed there, and even stayed in bed with her that night, holding her tightly and unwilling to let go.
When Gu Jingchun woke up the next day...
Her strength has almost fully recovered.
