Overnight, the news spread rapidly throughout Jinling like it had wings.
Zeng Chang from the Martial Arts Association and Cao Xiu from the Chinese dicine Association were both murdered, and it happened in Guanghan Palace under the Martial Arts Association’s industry, which was a blatant slap in the face to the association.
Although there was no movent from the Chinese dicine Association, the chairman of the Martial Arts Association personally issued an order: a reward of one million for anyone who can provide clues, and five million for anyone who can catch the murderer.
As a result, many people volunteered to provide information without needing further incentive.
Many people witnessed the conflict between Ye Guichen and Zeng Chang at the entrance of Nandu Martial Arts Hall.
Coupled with Feng Tianhai’s testimony, Ye Guichen quickly beca the pri suspect.
Lv Liang, seeing the situation escalate, also went to the Martial Arts Association, bitterly accusing Ye Guichen of being despicable and ruthless, leaving no room for survival.
Lv Liang even provided so evidence, stating that Ye Guichen was rciless and not only crippled the forr coach of Nandu Martial Arts Hall, Ding Fei, but also boasted that he had no regard for the Martial Arts Association.
Moreover, the incident where Ye Guichen instructed Shang Wen Dong to cripple seven or eight masters from the Martial Arts Association was also brought to light.
"Bring him to !"
Without needing further evidence, the chairman of the Martial Arts Association, Zuo Chunqiu, personally ordered the arrest of Ye Guichen, demanding that he kneel before Zeng Chang’s tomb and atone with his blood.
However, Ye Guichen was completely unaware of all this.
Having consolidated both martial arts halls under his na, Ye Guichen didn’t hesitate and imdiately asked Mai Gu to find people to renovate.
With nothing else to do, he ate breakfast and then went to the martial arts hall with Shang Wen Dong to supervise the renovations.
But as soon as he arrived at the hall, Ye Guichen was pulled into a secluded area by a fragrant scent.
"Hey, what are you doing?" Ye Guichen shook off the hand and glared at the person: "Don’t you know that n and won shouldn’t touch?"
Wang Ying was furious and cursed: "Ye Guichen, you really have guts! You killed both the Martial Arts Association’s director and the Chinese dicine Association’s mber, and now you’re acting like nothing happened. Do you really think you have three heads that can be chopped off at will?"
Ye Guichen was bewildered and frowned: "What are you talking about? I don’t understand."
"Don’t understand?" Wang Ying stomped her feet in urgency: "I’m asking you, do you know Zeng Chang from the Martial Arts Association?"
Ye Guichen nodded blankly: "Yes, I know him, what about it?"
"Did you guys have a dispute yesterday? You had your n cripple his subordinates and forced Lv Liang to sell Nandu Martial Arts Hall to you cheaply."
Ye Guichen was increasingly confused: "That’s right, but that’s my business. Why are you suddenly bringing this up?"
Wang Ying, seeing Ye Guichen refuse to admit, looked around and, finding no one, lowered her voice: "Ye Guichen, you’ve caused a huge problem. Last night Zeng Chang and Cao Xiu were murdered in Guanghan Palace. The Martial Arts Association has issued a warrant for you, and they might co to arrest you soon. My grandfather received the news and sent to notify you. Either co back to Jinling Prince Mansion with now or leave Jinling and hide."
"They died, what does that have to do with ?" Ye Guichen thought Wang Ying’s behavior was very odd, saying such things to him early in the morning, making him seem like the murderer.
Wang Ying was exasperated: "Ye Guichen, are you playing dumb with ? I called you early this morning, and your phone was off, so I had to wait here for you. Now, you’re pretending to be ignorant! Don’t think my grandfather’s favor makes you invincible. I’ll be honest, my grandfather isn’t afraid of the Chinese dicine Association, but he is wary of the Martial Arts Association. You might not know this, but the Jinling Martial Arts Association is just a branch of Hua Country Martial Arts Association, and Zuo Chunqiu values face the most. Now, his n are dead, and he’ll definitely dig three feet to find you. Even if my grandfather intervenes, it might not help."
"Moreover, our Jinling Prince Mansion is severely weakened now, and my grandfather might be powerless."
Just then, they heard the sound of quarreling and footsteps outside, making Wang Ying’s face tense: "Do you understand? The Martial Arts Association is probably already here. Co with to the mansion to hide; even if they want to arrest you, they won’t dare confront my grandfather imdiately."
Ye Guichen vaguely understood.
Last night, he turned off his phone for training and didn’t turn it back on.
Such a big thing happened?
If ordinary people were killed, it wouldn’t matter.
Even if soone like Lv Liang died, it might be inconsequential.
But as Wang Ying said, Zeng Chang’s death involved the Martial Arts Association’s face.
However, Ye Guichen still didn’t understand why the suspicion fell on him.
Without asking, Ye Guichen took out his phone, and indeed, found dozens of ssages upon turning it on.
There were ssages not only from Wang Ying but also from Wang Chaoyang, Duan Nanye, and even Mai Gu.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Guichen raised his head: "What does Zeng Chang’s death have to do with ?"
Wang Ying was taken aback: "Your conflict with Zeng Chang was evident to everyone, and it happened in a place like Guanghan Palace, where ordinary people can’t enter. Are you saying it wasn’t you?"
Ye Guichen chuckled: "Of course, it wasn’t . It seems soone wants to fra ."
"You..." Wang Ying thought Ye Guichen had no reason to lie at this mont.
But most of the evidence pointed to Ye Guichen.
Moreover, apart from the conflict with Zeng Chang, those with the ability to kill him are few.
Calculating everything, Ye Guichen seed the most likely bold and reckless suspect.
"No, it doesn’t matter if you did it or not; Zuo Chunqiu has already decided it was you. You must co with to the mansion to hide!" Wang Ying stepped forward again, trying to pull Ye Guichen to escape through the back door.
Ye Guichen shook off her hand: "Miss Wang, I have never had the habit of hiding. Moreover, if soone wants to fra , hiding would only confirm I’m the murderer. Hmph, I’d like to see what the Martial Arts Association can do to !"
After speaking, he strode outside boldly.
"It’s him!"
As soon as Ye Guichen appeared, soone pointed at him and shouted.
A dozen martial artists quickly surrounded him.
The one leading them was Feng Tianhai, whom Ye Guichen had seen yesterday.
"Ye Guichen, co with us!" Feng Tianhai drew his sword and signaled to the other martial artists.
They all drew their weapons and encircled Ye Guichen.
Shang Wen Dong, sensing trouble, quickly stepped in front of Ye Guichen.
Wang Ying scolded: "What are you doing? He is my grandfather’s honored guest. If you dare touch him, are you trying to oppose Jinling Prince Mansion?"
Feng Tianhai glanced at Wang Ying, curling his lips into a cold smile: "Miss Wang, even if the Prince himself were here today, I must take him away, or I can’t report back to the chairman! I hope you won’t interfere, or if you get hurt, we won’t be able to explain to the prince."
"Hmph, if you want to take Mr. Ye, let’s see if you have the ability!" Shang Wen Dong sneered, completely disregarding Feng Tianhai and his group.
