Chapter 69: Chapter 68: The Evil On Must Die (Part 14)_1
Amidst the sound of the alarm, Fu Qian could sense people rushing over from all directions, swiftly sealing off the small courtyard without leaving any gaps.
Under these circumstances, he was left without a plausible explanation.
But the good thing was that Fu Qian never liked to explain.
So, without looking back, he stood with his hands behind his back, feigning an upward gaze at the starry sky.
“Who are you? Why would you commit such a heinous act?”
Behind him ca the furious roar of Huang Leji, and one could almost imagine his face contorted with rage.
Pretty impressive, the timing was impeccable.
To kill the person before his own arrival and then flee before he got there; subsequently, the Huang Family would find the anomaly and encircle him, making him the scapegoat.
If the timing had been off by even a slight bit, it would lead to a disastrous outco.
A truly daring move, to snatch chestnuts out of the fire—was this Evil On leaping out of its own skin?
Given the current situation, the Huang Family was definitely not going to let things go so easily.
The person who had just called out was Huang Leji; from the breath, he could distinguish that Huang Lezhan and Huang Jianyuan were also present.
Moreover, being deep in the estate, fighting his way out would be quite difficult and also ti-consuming.
Regardless of whether he went on a killing spree or got caught up here, it was exactly what Evil On would want to see.
The situation was highly unfavorable! Fortunately, he had a contingency plan in place.
“You ask who I am?”
Fu Qian snorted and slowly turned around.
In the short mont before, his facial features had already swiftly shifted back to his own.
“Fu Qian, Night Watchman Special Operations Consultant.”
Night Watchman?
As he spoke, a crowd of people looked at him with both shock and doubt, scrutinizing his unfamiliar face.
“How co I am not aware of this title of a ‘Special Operations Consultant’ within the Night Watchn?”
Of course, Huang Leji was not so easily fooled and imdiately furrowed his brows to express his skepticism.
“And how did you get into the Huang Estate?”
“Why do you think… you should be aware of the affairs of the Night Watchn?”
Fu Qian did not answer his question at all, not even glancing in his direction, instead turning his gaze back inside the house.
“Evil On…”
“You’re saying that Evil On did this?”
Huang Leji was taken aback, surveying the bloody scene inside the house.
“What else? ?”
Fu Qian let out a cold laugh.
“So the Huang Family is aware of Evil On? And here I thought Xi Yuan’s foremost clan had beco oblivious to matters beyond their windows!”
…
Huang Leji’s old face turned red.
“We just beca aware of the situation with Evil On, and there hasn’t been ti to contact the Night Watchn.”
“Don’t trouble yourself with the journey; we’ve co to you instead.”
Fu Qian looked at the scene inside the house.
“I and Su Zhiyan split up to pursue Evil On. I received a ssage that your uncle was the next target and rushed over, but it seems I was a step too late…”
Su Zhiyan…
After a mont of contemplation, Huang Leji signaled to soone beside him, then took a step forward.
“Mr. Fu, I never imagined that Evil On would be so vicious as to infiltrate our Huang Estate and commit such an atrocity…
I’ve already sent soone to fetch Su Zhiyan. Perhaps we should wait for her to arrive?”
While speaking, Huang Leji observed Fu Qian’s reaction closely.
“Alright, let’s wait for Su Gao to co and discuss further.”
Fu Qian nodded slightly and pointed inside the courtyard.
“Secure this area. Don’t let anyone touch anything inside. Also, compile a report of all the recent movents over the past month of every Transcendent mber of the Huang Family for .”
What do you an by this?
Huang Leji’s gaze sharpened, and before he could speak, Huang Jianyuan behind him couldn’t hold back anymore.
“Why does Mr. Fu need to investigate this? Could it be that he suspects soone from the Huang Family?”
It’s not suspicion, but confirmation.
Fu Qian shot him a cold glance without saying a word.
Provoked by Fu Qian’s stare, Huang Jianyuan instinctively stepped back; realizing his reaction, his face instantly reddened, and a hint of hatred flashed in his eyes.
“Jianyuan! Prepare what Mr. Fu has requested.”
Huang Leji placed his hand on his son’s shoulder, his gaze sternly stopping him.
“This guy can’t run away. Give him whatever he wants!”
If the Night Watchman proves later that this guy is just grandstanding, there’ll be plenty of opportunities to crush him to dust.
…
Indeed, he had just returned to Xi Yuan!
Fu Qian flipped through the docunts handed over by Huang Jianyuan, which contained the recent travel records of every mber of the Huang Family.
And, as expected, upon reaching Huang Yuanchang’s column, Fu Qian found he too had returned to Xi Yuan just in the past week.
The suspicion grew. But why did he look so familiar?
The itinerary had photographs attached next to each person’s entry, as per his request.
Fu Qian looked at Huang Yuanchang’s face and faintly felt he had seen it sowhere before.
It was a feeling both familiar and strange, as if it fell on so cognitive blind spot.
There weren’t many Transcendents in Xi Yuan City, so he shouldn’t have this feeling.
Fu Qian’s brain raced, replaying every scene in Xi Yuan City since his arrival.
Wait a second, it’s here!
Fu Qian’s mory suddenly froze on a particular scene.
It was after he had disguised himself as Huang Jianyuan to enter the Huang Family Estate.
In order not to be discovered, he had proceeded quickly with a superior air, not responding to anyone.
In the process, he brushed past several people, and now the face of one of them seed particularly vague in his mory.
This wasn’t normal.
Could this also be an effect of survival instinct?
Huang Yuanchang had indeed run off.
Impressive, not overlooking any blind spot to seduce and mislead.
But that didn’t matter.
Fu Qian strained his mory cells, gradually clarifying that blurry mont.
Good, he had morized the scent.
Su Gao arrived even faster than expected.
Still in black with a narrow cap, her sword was ever-present.
Her expressionless face, paired with the fractured scars, resembled a broken doll.
However, the mont she appeared, nearly everyone’s breathing grew faintly lighter.
“Indeed, it’s Evil On’s style.”
Stepping into the blood-soaked room, Su Gao made her judgnt in just ten seconds, speaking to Huang Leji.
The next mont, sensing sothing, she lifted her head to look at Fu Qian sitting to the side, and her body halted.
That instant, dozens of gazes patrolled between the two of them.
Fu Qian winked at her.
Without asking, Su Gao’s reaction clearly indicated that Huang Leji hadn’t inford her about this “colleague” of hers.
Unfortunately, Old Master Huang didn’t understand that this didn’t matter at all.
“Mr. Fu is also here.”
After locking eyes with Fu Qian for a few seconds, Su Gao gently bowed, her gaze fleetingly vivacious.
“Long ti no see. It’s really great that you’re safe!”
“Thank you for your concern, just call Fu Qian.”
Yes.
Su Gao nodded her head.
“Did you co to Xi Yuan this ti for the Evil On matter?”
“Yes.”
“That’s great!”
Su Gao’s lips curled up slightly, as if smiling.
There was definitely a problem! From the sound of it, the two hadn’t seen each other for a long ti; that Mr. Fu was just spouting nonsense earlier.
“Executioner Yan, this Mr. Fu says he is the Night Watchman Special Operations Consultant…”
Huang Leji’s face turned ashen, interrupting the conversation between the two as if they were the only ones there.
“Mr. Fu said that, did he?”
“Yes, and moreover, when we arrived just now, only Mr. Fu was present at the scene, which is highly suspicious—”
“Yes, Mr. Fu is the Night Watchman Special Operations Consultant.”
Su Gao’s eyes still on Fu Qian, she stated flatly.
