Chapter 11: Why are the Gu family members here?

"Mistake... there must be a mistake," Ling Mufeng said, his face full of disbelief.

"It... shouldn't be a mistake," Lu Haichuan spoke up eagerly, also looking somewhat incredulous.

However, he was well aware of the methods used by the Changying Army.

Unless there was a second Gu Zhiqi in this world, it was impossible to mistake her.

Tang Yichen's mood was also somewhat complex.

Although he had said to let Yun Yan take the transcript for comparison, he didn't fully believe it in his heart; yet, at this moment, he had no choice but to believe it.

It seemed that this little girl truly had taken down over a dozen people single-handedly.

He stole a glance at the girl's slender arms and legs.

If not for the fact that she possessed not a single trace of ancient martial arts aura, he would have suspected whether she was an ancient martial artist.

"When you all leave, please close the door behind you. Thank you," Gu Zhiqi said, noticing Tang Yichen looking her way. Her expression was lazy and indifferent.

Hearing this, Tang Yichen raised a hand to rub his nose. Was she starting to kick them out?

"May I ask who you trained with?" Out of curiosity, Tang Yichen asked her.

As soon as Tang Yichen spoke, Lu Haichuan and Yun Yan both looked toward Gu Zhiqi with the same expression of curiosity.

Only Ling Mufeng remained stuck in his state of disbelief.

"I'm not seeing you out," Gu Zhiqi said. After finishing her sentence, she flopped onto the bed, quickly pulled up the quilt, and lay down with her back to them.

Tang Yichen and the other two: "..."

The girl wasn't very old, but she certainly had quite a temper.

**

After leaving the ward and saying their goodbyes, Ling Mufeng and Tang Yichen's group departed in a hurry, their faces pale.

Among the three, only Lu Haichuan politely bid them farewell.

With the official business concluded, Tang Yichen finally didn't have to maintain his serious persona. He raised his hand in a friendly gesture, hooking his arm around Yun Yan's shoulder, and asked repeatedly for confirmation, "Yun Yan, are you sure Third Brother conducted the interrogation personally? Make sure no one is trying to pull a fast one."

Even now, he still found it hard to believe that such a thin and small girl had taken down over a dozen grown men.

It wasn't that he hadn't seen such things before, but what he had seen previously were ancient martial artists fighting ordinary people, whereas Gu Zhiqi was just an ordinary little girl.

"Lord Jin interrogated her," Yun Yan replied truthfully with a stiff face. After answering, he silently moved away from Tang Yichen.

"Brother Jin? Then where is Third Brother?" Tang Yichen muttered under his breath.

Shouldn't Third Brother have been in charge of this case?

"He went to Yan City."

Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen immediately became dissatisfied. "Did he go with Second Brother?"

To Yan City?

He feared they weren't going to Yan City, but to Yuexi Village.

Yun Yan remained silent.

Seeing this, Tang Yichen knew he had guessed correctly. He gritted his teeth inwardly. "They are going too far, not even bringing me along."

"Do you know why they are going to Yan City? Is there news about Yueying?" Tang Yichen continued to press.

If the two of them went together, they were definitely going to Yuexi Village, and the only possible reason was Yueying.

"I'm not sure," Yun Yan replied expressionlessly.

Tang Yichen curled his lip and continued, "Perfect. Since the business is done, take the documents back to the Imperial Capital yourself. I'm going to Yan City too!"

"Okay," Yun Yan responded with a wooden face.

"Eh? Fourth Master, is it really just over like this with the little girl?" Lu Haichuan raised a hand to brush through his hair. "I still find it too inconceivable that a little girl could take down over a dozen kidnappers."

"But there's nothing we can do. From the looks of it, she indeed didn't lie," Tang Yichen said with a shrug.

He didn't quite believe it either, but with the facts laid out before him, he had no choice but to accept it.

Listening to this, Lu Haichuan brushed his hair again. "In that case, this little girl is just too sca—huh? Why are the Gu family members here?"
