"Hahaha, Second Young Master, you're quite capable! You've fooled the entire capital. Everyone thought you'd died on the road to exile. Unexpectedly... hahaha... uh..."
The killer still did not answer Gu Yunting's words, but suddenly burst into laughter while talking to himself. As he laughed, his head tilted to the side and he died, with black blood slowly oozing out of his mouth, nose and ears.
"Master, they are all dead. Should we continue looking for them?" The subordinate standing on the man's right stepped forward to check and report.
"Well, no need to look for it!" Gu Yunting said as he glanced behind the big tree with a hidden look in his eyes.
Xiao Yuhao hid behind a tree, looking at the face that looked exactly like Gu Mufeng, feeling a little dazed.
"Swish, swish!" At this time, two more figures appeared in the forest.
Xiao Ling'er and Wei Zheming just happened to fall to the ground and ran head-on into the three men who turned around.
When Xiao Ling'er saw Gu Yunting's face, she frowned slightly. Why was he here?
When Gu Yunting saw Xiao Ling'er, he took two steps forward excitedly. When his eyes inadvertently swept over Wei Zheming beside her, his aura changed in an instant.
His eyes became as sharp as an eagle, and his steps were steady and powerful. Wei Zheming was shocked. At this moment, even he felt a sense of oppression.
He subconsciously stepped in front of Xiao Ling'er. The next second, the air seemed to freeze, and an indescribable sense of oppression emanated from Gu Yunting to the surroundings.
Gu Nan and Gu Xi stepped forward with swords in hand. Seeing that the battle was about to break out, Xiao Ling'er spoke up in time: "Wait!"
The four of them looked at her. Xiao Ling'er took out the purple waist badge and said, "Master Gu, do you still remember me?"
Except for Gu Yunting, the expressions of the others changed.
Wei Zheming recognized that this badge represented the identity of a major customer of their bank. Anyone holding this badge could withdraw 100,000 taels of silver from the bank every year.
He once asked his father the reason, but his father told him not to worry about it and only told him to be polite to anyone holding this badge.
It turns out that Miss Xiao is the mysterious patron of their bank?
Gu Xi and Gu Nan wondered why this badge appeared in the girl's hand?
The master had clearly given this girl a badge that was skinny, dark, and ugly. How could this peerless beauty have the master's badge? Did she snatch it from that girl?
The two of them secretly looked at their master and found that there was no change on his face.
"Miss Xiao, long time no see!" Gu Yunting answered Xiao Ling'er's question.
"Sister, Brother Wei?" Xiao Yuhao walked out, his eyes fixed on Gu Yunting.
He finally remembered that the man who looked very much like Mu Feng was Mr. Gu, whose elder sister had saved his younger sister.
"You are willing to come out." Xiao Ling'er had already discovered Xiao Yuhao hiding behind a big tree, so she was not in a hurry.
Of course, everyone present noticed it, except Xiao Yuhao, who thought he was hiding well.
Xiao Ling'er grabbed Xiao Yuhao and checked him from head to toe. Only after finding that he was unharmed did she let him go with peace of mind.
Xiao Yuhao cooperated with his elder sister and let her check him, while still secretly looking at Gu Yunting.
Xiao Ling'er let go of Xiao Yuhao and walked forward to check the body of the killer who had already died. Sure enough, he was dressed the same as the killers who had been in Wu Mansion before.
Wei Zheming also walked forward and took out a waist badge with the word "Shadow" from the chest of a corpse. He looked at Xiao Ling'er with understanding and said, "They are assassins from the Blood Shadow Tower."
"Miss Xiao, I didn't expect to meet you here." Gu Yunting walked up and started chatting.
Gu Xi and Gu Nan were stunned. No, even if their master wanted to talk, could he not find a better topic?
