For Luo Mingyuan, Ju Cangfeng was an ambitious dog, noisy at tis, but a dog that he had raised nonetheless.
As the common saying goes, even when you strike a dog, you must watch its owner!
Liu Mingyue's direct killing of Ju Cangfeng was a blatant –– slap in his face.
"Liu Mingyue, I will settle this account with you! And that Tang Rao, that kid is quite insidious too, managing to counter-kill. Jin He, what do you make of this matter?" Luo Mingyuan looked towards the sowhat scholarly middle-aged man beside him.
"Great Elder, this matter may not be simple behind the scenes. Although Cang Feng was killed by Xiao Yun under Liu Mingyue's command, it was at the request of Tang Rao. I've looked into it, at that ti there wasn't much conflict between Cang Feng and Tang Rao, it shouldn't have been the case, but Tang Rao directly requested Liu Mingyue to kill Cang Feng, there's sothing fishy about this." Jin He shook his head and said, "In my view, either Tang Rao is a bloodthirsty Madman, or, he already knew we were going to make a move against the Kao Shan Sect."
Luo Mingyuan frowned.
"If it's the forr, that's still okay, but if Tang Rao already knew we were going to take action against him, that's a big problem." Jin He narrowed his eyes.
"Are you saying there's an internal spy?" A chilly light flashed in Luo Mingyuan's eyes.
"Lie Hu..." Jin He uttered lightly.
This matter, apart from the three of them, only Lie Hu knew.
Luo Mingyuan's brow furrowed deeply, could it really be Lie Hu?
Bear in mind, Lie Hu had followed him for many years and had done many things for him; the thought was sowhat unacceptable to him.
"Great Elder, we must imdiately investigate and resolve the matter of Lie Hu. If Lie Hu is the spy, or even if he's Shi Pang's man, then the problem is serious. By then, it won't be a matter of whether or not we can succeed, possibly, we might not even be able to keep our lives." Jin He said quickly, his expression grave.
Luo Mingyuan looked up, casting a sowhat odd glance at Jin He, then nodded and said, "I understand this matter. If Lie Hu is the spy, I won't show rcy. Of course, no matter who the spy is, I will not tolerate it."
Jin He was taken aback, Luo Mingyuan's aning was very clear, he also suspected himself as a spy.
There were only four people in the know about this matter, and Ju Cangfeng was already dead, leaving only Lie Hu and him besides Luo Mingyuan.
By saying this, Luo Mingyuan was obviously suspicious of him too.
Jin He felt a sense of anger, damn Luo Mingyuan, despite my loyalty to you, you still suspect , why the heck don't you suspect yourself.
Of course, Jin He only thought this to himself, maintaining a calm facade without showing any ripples.
...
"Xiao Hu, have you rembered everything I've told you?" In another courtyard of the Dark Moon Association, Shi Pang sat face to face with Lie Hu, munching on peanuts and drinking wine.
"Did you co up with all these plans?" Lie Hu asked.
"Of course, you think I, Shi Pang, am a nobody? Naturally intelligent and exceedingly cunning!" Shi Pang said with a face full of arrogance.
"Do you have any sha, you fatso? If this was your idea, I'll eat the wine bottle." Lie Hu said disdainfully.
"Idiotic Lie Hu, can't you speak properly?"
"No!"
Luo Mingyuan had no idea that Shi Pang and Lie Hu had known each other since they were very young and had already ford a profound bond.
"Was it Tang Rao?" Lie Hu suddenly asked.
Shi Pang shrugged his shoulders without refuting.
"I think you should still be careful. Looking at the entire plan, Tang Rao's mindset is absolutely terrifying. If he intends to play you, you'll be utterly devastated." Lie Hu said.
"I know, so I don't have to worry. After all, if he wants to harm , I'm dood anyway, I might as well make friends with him. Tang Rao isn't an ordinary guy, at so point he'll be like a Serpent entering the sea, and by then, I can hang around and act cool too!" Shi Pang said.
Lie Hu said nothing more, since Shi Pang had made up his mind, there was no need to babble on.
"It's about ti, let's get going!" Shi Pang said as he kicked Lie Hu under the table.
"You fucking kick again and I swear I'll fall out with you!"
"Go on then, flip out!"
"I'm your daddy!" Lie Hu got up, cursed, and then took off.
Soon, Lie Hu arrived at Luo Mingyuan's courtyard.
"Uh, Lord Lie Hu?" The guard was startled to see Lie Hu, then said, "Lord Lie Hu, the Great Elder is looking for you. Please co over."
"I know, I'm heading there now." Lie Hu pondered for a mont, then walked towards Luo Mingyuan's room.
Inside the room, Luo Mingyuan sat quietly, as Jin He had already left.
"Lie Hu, do you know why I called you here?" Luo Mingyuan looked up at Lie Hu.
"I don't know." Lie Hu shook his head.
Bang!
The next mont, Lie Hu's throat was grasped by Luo Mingyuan, lifting his whole body off the ground.
"Lie Hu, I trusted you so much, yet you dare betray !" Luo Mingyuan roared furiously, his gaze incredibly fierce.
Lie Hu didn't speak, just stared back at Luo Mingyuan.
Ti slowly passed, Lie Hu's neck made cracking noises under the grip, nearly fracturing.
But even so, Lie Hu remained silent.
"Bang!" Luo Mingyuan flung Lie Hu away, crashing him hard onto the ground, "Don't you have anything to say?"
Lie Hu rotated his neck, then slowly shook his head: "My life was given by the Great Elder, and if the Great Elder wants to take it, Lie Hu has nothing to say. Whatever the reason, I dare not complain."
Luo Mingyuan: "..."
"You..." Luo Mingyuan sighed, frankly, he was truly moved by Lie Hu's words just now.
"Did you know about the incident where Tang Rao made Liu Mingyue kill Zang Feng?" Luo Mingyuan asked.
"I've heard." Lie Hu nodded.
"What do you think?" Luo Mingyuan asked again.
Lie Hu took a breath, "Clearly, Tang Rao may already know that we are planning to deal with him. Now, only you, , Ju Cangfeng, and Jin He knew about this plan. With Ju Cangfeng already dead, that leaves the three of us as suspects."
"I'm also a suspect?" Luo Mingyuan seed sowhat annoyed.
"Yes," Lie Hu nodded, "just less likely."
"Hmm, do you think it could be Jin He?" Luo Mingyuan pressed.
"I dare not speculate rashly, but..." Lie Hu furrowed his brows.
"But what?" Luo Mingyuan said.
"Just that, when I was coming here, I seed to have seen Lord Jin He. He was heading towards Shi Pang's place." Lie Hu spoke softly.
Hearing Lie Hu's words, Luo Mingyuan's eyes suddenly beca sharp like a beast with a thirst for blood.
"Are you sure you saw clearly?"
"I'm sure, it was Lord Jin He," Lie Hu nodded.
"Damned fool, damned fool!!" Luo Mingyuan panted heavily, saying Jin He was acting odd just now, so eager to pin the bla on Lie Hu. It turns out he's the one with sothing to hide!
