Chapter 293: The Key Person
"Is there any news on Xiang Li's whereabouts?" Mu Fei sat down and asked while eating.
"Nope." Speaking of his task, Hua Wuyang's brows furrowed a little tighter, and the chopsticks in his hand stopped.
"The previous message...... Did the investigators make a mistake? "The guild's scouts are well-trained, and there aren't too many cases of mistakes.
"It's not." Hua Wuyang shook his head, and there was a hint of anger in his voice, "It's a suspicious array arranged by Xiang Li, deliberately making people think that he has appeared there." ”
"This guy is really cunning." Mu Fei couldn't help but be a little discouraged when he heard this.
Originally, he was still thinking that if Hua Wuyang caught Xiang Li, he could try to find out Fang Gongzi's whereabouts from Xiang Li's side, after all, the two had been mixed together before, and it was hard to say if it would be the same now.
"That guy," Hua Wuyang said almost through gritted teeth, "he doesn't seem to be going back to One-Eye after escaping, so he's not only hiding from us, but also from One-Eye. ”
"Huh?" Hearing this, Mu Fei was very surprised, "Why did Xiang Li hide from the one-eyed?" Could it be that One-Eye is now hunting him down, too? "Isn't Xiang Li a one-eyed subordinate? Is it a betrayal?
"I don't know the specifics." Hua Wuyang frowned and said while flipping the food on the plate with chopsticks, "However, according to my guess, it is mostly related to Min Shang. ”
"You mean that because the Min Shang was caught by us, the one-eyed anger turned to Xiang Li in anger, and Xiang Li got the information so he fled first?" Mu Fei finished adding what the other party had not finished saying.
"It's possible." Hua Wuyang nodded, a trace of cold hatred flashed in his eyes, and his voice became extremely cold. "One-eyed demon is suspicious and cruel by nature. He would have thought that Xiang Li had deliberately allowed the Min Shang to be arrested in order to escape. And Min Shang's ability is even more valued by him, so he will not easily forgive Xiang Li. ”
"It's complicated." Mu Fei shook his head, he couldn't understand these entanglements between demons at all.
How can a relationship between peers, where there is no sense of trust between peers, where superiors and subordinates are full of violence and coercion, and who are completely linked by interest and force, last?
"My mission is to hunt down Fang Gongzi, so far. I'm afraid that the possibility of Fang Gongzi and Xiang Li being together is very small. Mu Fei said softly, with pity in his tone.
"You mean the demonized human?" Hua Wuyang didn't know much about Fang Gongzi, but later heard about it from Mu Fei and others.
"Yes, yes. I always felt that the whole incident started from Fang Gongzi. Linking all the relevant events together and recalling, Mu Fei felt that Fang Gongzi's case was the beginning of everything, "Fang Gongzi is likely to be the key to all these events." ”
Hua Wuyang pursed his lips without saying a word, and after thinking silently for a moment, he raised his head and said solemnly: "I think that Fang Gongzi, if he is still alive, should be there in One-Eyed." But. There is one thing I don't quite agree with. ”
"Which point?" Mu Fei raised his head, his expression puzzled and serious.
"The key figure will not be Fang Gongzi. There should be someone else. Hua Wuyang's eyes flashed with a stern and cold light.
……
"Oh? Got it wrong? "The light in the empty room was dim, and through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows, the moonlight in the sky and the flickering lights on the ground shone on the floor.
The slender figure stood in front of the window, the porcelain white cheeks looked ethereal and transparent under the reflection of this light, and the only exposed right eye stared quietly out of the window, unable to see joy and anger.
"Your Excellency?" The demon who came to report the news couldn't figure out what his boss meant, and his expression was a little puzzled.
"It doesn't matter, if he really wants to escape, you alone won't find his whereabouts." The slightly immature voice is soft and cold, which makes people feel very pleasant to listen to.
"Are you just letting him escape?" The demon who told the news asked, puzzled.
"Let him escape for a while." One-eyed didn't look back, still facing out the window, the corners of his mouth raised a shallow arc, "That's just right, you can also contain those guys in Huaxia District." ”
"Then ...... him"
"You go do other things first, I have my own consideration for Xiang Li's question." One-eye waved his hand, interrupting his subordinate's words.
"Yes." Seeing this, the demon who reported the news had no choice but to bow his head and exit the room.
Only one eye was left, and the huge room was a little more empty. Under the silver glow of the moonlight, the slender body looked unusually thin and lonely, and from a distance, it looked like the silhouette of an abandoned child left in front of the window.
"It's really an unexpected development that Minshang will be arrested." One-Eye muttered to himself, his expression unchanged, without the slightest hint of joy or anger, as if he were talking about a trivial matter about the weather tonight.
"Mu Fei? I seem to have awakened something interesting. Thinking that the person who captured his subordinates was Mu Fei, who had been arrested by him before, he couldn't help but feel that this development was very ironic.
Raise your right hand and place your palm against the window above your head, and through your fingers, you can see the stars twinkling at night. Looking at these faint starlight, there was a gentle light in that single right eye, making it impossible to know what was going on in his heart.
There was a soft knock on the door from behind, pulling his thoughts back from a distance.
"Please come in." One-Eye still didn't look back, only looking at the door behind him from the reflection of the window glass.
Lu Yan's beautiful figure pushed the door in, saluted respectfully, and said, "My lord, that human is here, and now he is waiting outside." ”
"Ask him to come in." One-Eye commanded softly.
Lu Yan was ordered to exit the room, and walked back a moment later, only this time she was followed by another man.
"Hello, Mr. One-Eyed." The man walked into the room, saluted neither humbly nor arrogantly, and said in a calm tone.
"This is the first time we've met." Only then did One-Eye turn around and face the man standing in front of the door.
"You're right." The man's smile was very gentle.
"I've heard Lu mention you before, and I also know some things about you from Xiang Li." One-eye walked to the sofa facing the door and sat down, leaning his thin body on the sofa, his legs crossed, and he looked like a child of a nobleman.
Seeing this, Lu Yan poured tea and brought it to him, and stood respectfully behind him after putting it down.
"Hehe, for that little gift before, I don't know if you're satisfied?" The man asked with a smile.
"You mean the little hunter?" One-eyed remembered that Mu Fei still felt very interesting in his heart, and couldn't help but hook the corners of his mouth and said, "Yes, it's quite unexpected to me." ”
"If you're satisfied." The man said with a smile.
One-eyed took a sip of the teacup, then raised his head and asked with a smile, "What are you coming to me for this time?" ”
The man smiled when he heard this, and replied calmly with an expression: "I came here, of course, for the sake of my untalented cousin, Fang Gongzi." (To be continued......)
