Where is Chen Fang right now?
He is already waiting in a hotel room in Yuanjing.
Four hours ago, he contacted Li Chong, the secretary of Shangguan Shoudong.
Li Chong said that the leader was busy and might take a while.
This wait lasted for over four hours.
The sky outside was gradually turning dark.
Chen Fang felt discouraged.
He thought that Shangguan Shoudong probably wouldn't have ti today.
It's understandable.
As soone about to take a high position, he must be overwheld with work.
Plus, his stomach was starting to protest with a growl.
He thought he might as well go downstairs to get sothing to eat.
Just as he stepped out of the hotel door.
He saw a group of black-clad n getting out of a luxury car; from their deanor, they seed like professional security.
Soon after.
A Maybach stopped at the hotel entrance.
The group of black-clad n imdiately gathered around to protect the car door.
The door opened.
A man wearing a baseball cap and a mask got out.
He didn't pause for a mont.
Under the escort of the black-clad n, he quickly entered the hotel.
Could it be a celebrity?
While Chen Fang was pondering this, suddenly, the mysterious man who entered the hotel seed to sense sothing, suddenly stopped and looked back outside.
The direction he looked towards.
Was exactly where Chen Fang was standing.
The man was in the light, while Chen Fang was in the dark, so naturally, he couldn't see him.
It was this glance back.
That gave Chen Fang a start.
The man's figure...
Why does it look so familiar?
Even though he couldn't see the face clearly, he still felt like he had seen it sowhere before.
The man scanned the area.
After confirming there was nothing unusual.
He quickly got on the elevator and disappeared.
Chen Fang took a few steps forward.
Suddenly.
A shiver ran through his entire body.
He quickly turned around and looked towards the hotel lobby.
Cold sweat broke out on him in an instant.
Hou Yuanzheng!
That man was Hou Yuanzheng!
Impossible! Absolutely impossible!
Hou Yuanzheng had been captured; although he hasn't been sentenced yet, it's a solid fact that he's been apprehended. How could soone who has lost their freedom appear in this hotel?
Could it be that I saw it wrong?
While he was hesitating.
A Rolls-Royce passed by him.
The black-clad n who were guarding the entrance quickly approached.
After the car ca to a stop.
The rear door automatically opened.
A skinny man got out.
One of the black-clad n politely shook hands with the skinny man, speaking enthusiastically.
Then, under the guidance of the black-clad man.
The skinny man also entered the hotel.
Sensing sothing wrong, Chen Fang.
Forgot about eating.
Quickly returned to the hotel.
Just as the three black-clad n and the skinny man stepped into the elevator, and the doors were about to close, Chen Fang stretched out his hand, stopping the elevator door.
The leading black-clad man noticed this.
Imdiately beca alert.
Said to Chen Fang, "You can take the next one."
"Why? There's still room here, right?"
Chen Fang retorted.
Anger was just about to flare up on the black-clad man's face.
He shouted, "I told you to take the next one, so take the next one. Why so much nonsense?"
"Alright, you win."
Chen Fang did not argue.
He released his hand.
Muttered, "We're all guests, why are you so arrogant?"
The elevator door had already closed.
No one was there to argue with him.
He stood in place, watching the elevator stop at the tenth floor.
Then turned to leave the hotel lobby.
At that mont, his heart was pounding hard.
Because in those few simple dialogues, Chen Fang had already seen the face of that skinny man.
It was a familiar face.
That skinny man was none other than the founder of the Heavenly Appearance Sect—Lin Run.
Due to the investigation of the Heavenly Appearance Sect.
Chen Fang had deliberately looked up information on Lin Run.
He had seen his photos before; he couldn't possibly mistake that face.
Why would Hou Yuanzheng secretly et with Lin Run from the Heavenly Appearance Sect?
Could it be that he was also a "follower" of the Heavenly Appearance Sect?
Or was the Hou Family conspiring sothing with the Heavenly Appearance Sect?
The more he thought about it, the more wrong it seed.
Right at that mont, his phone rang, and when he looked at the number, it was a call from Li Chong.
...
Half an hour later.
Under Li Chong's guidance, Chen Fang.
Walked into the living room of Shangguan Shoudong's house.
At this ti.
Shangguan Shoudong was already sitting on the sofa reading the newspaper.
Upon hearing footsteps.
He looked up.
A smile imdiately appeared on his face, putting down the newspaper, he waved at Chen Fang, saying, "Ah Fang, co, have a seat."
Chen Fang sat down opposite him with a sense of trepidation.
Li Chong brought over a cup of brewed tea.
"Sorry to keep you waiting, I've had five or six etings this afternoon, my head is pounding..."
Shangguan Shoudong said softly.
Chen Fang imdiately waved his hands, saying, "It's fine, it's fine, the leaders must be very busy, it's my fault for coming so abruptly."
"Hahaha... don't be so restrained, relax, it's not your first ti here."
Shangguan Shoudong reassured him.
Upon hearing this, Chen Fang.
Began to slightly relax his guarded posture.
After a pause, he said, "Leader, I ca here this ti regarding Gu Jin, Dean Gu's matter."
Shangguan Shoudong was just about to take a sip of tea.
He paused as soon as he heard this.
Put down his teacup.
And said seriously, "Go on."
Chen Fang recounted everything he had experienced recently in full detail.
Including the near-death experience early this morning.
During his recount.
Shangguan Shoudong did not interrupt him.
After he finished speaking.
Shangguan Shoudong fell into deep thought.
About ten seconds or so passed.
Shangguan Shoudong said, "Ah Fang, let's leave Gu Jin's matter for now, no need to investigate further, I'll have soone handle Fang Yixiu's issue."
"Stop investigating?"
Chen Fang was montarily stunned upon hearing this.
The first ti they t here, Shangguan Shoudong had told him Gu Jin's story, even urging him to look into the case if possible.
Now that they finally have a lead on this old case.
How could they just decide to stop the investigation?
Shangguan Shoudong nodded.
And said, "Let bygones be bygones, ngng doesn't have much ti left, I just want her to peacefully enjoy her remaining days. If she learns about these ssy things, it might worsen her condition."
So that's how it is.
It turns out Shangguan Shoudong made this choice for Gu ngsheng.
Chen Fang nodded.
And said, "Okay, leader, I understand."
Just as he finished speaking.
A familiar voice suddenly ca from the direction of the staircase: "No, we must investigate, no matter what, we must catch those who killed my parents, I want them to be punished!"
This voice.
Also startled Shangguan Shoudong.
He almost stood up at the sa ti as Chen Fang, looking towards the staircase.
At the base of the staircase.
A woman wearing pajamas, looking sowhat haggard, gracefully walked down.
Who else could it be but Gu ngsheng?
