Imperial Treasure

Chapter 670 - 429: The Room_3

They were grinding their teeth when suddenly, they heard Gong Jiu shout!

"Damn, blood!!!"

The time rewound five seconds.

Sui Yi and Gong Jiu were walking on this path, where there were no streetlights, only sound-controlled lights. Before the light turned on, Sui Yi suddenly felt something sticky under her feet... where her slippers stepped.

At that moment, the light turned on.

They saw blood seeping from under The Gate, soaking into the carpet, making it sticky...

Thud, a kraft paper bag fell to the ground. Gong Jiu quickly picked it up, and then yelled...

----

The Gate swung open, and Yue Beiqing and others quickly appeared.

Suddenly awakened, Su Zimu and two others arrived in the living room, along with others... each in pajamas, either sleepy or suspicious...

On the second floor, as the discoverers, Sui Yi and Gong Jiu were questioned by Yue Beiqing...

In fact, it was just what it was, they got hungry, made something to eat, and then on their way back to the room, it happened...

Gong Jiu held the kraft paper bag, looking gloomy, peering into the room that Ming Lanyuan and the Imperial Guards kept entering and exiting... "Can I take a look?"

"No."

"Then why can Sui Yi?"

"She hasn’t eaten, she won’t vomit."

"..." Your point makes sense, I am at a loss for words.

However, Gong Jiu, being a naturally curious person, insisted, and Yue Beiqing let her in to see the sight... then it was the naked, bloody torso hanging on the wall, along with a piece of Human Skin... The Human Skin missing a small piece, right around the abdomen.

There was also Shen Que and Wen Xiukai, unconscious as if drugged, lying on the bed with no trace of blood... They were sleeping soundly.

"Looking at this, they must have been drugged! However..." Ming Lanyuan glanced at the two men’s condition, his expression somewhat strange.

Sui Yi stood aside, observing the corpse of Han Feng, which bore a resemblance to the deaths of Li Yu and others, and the entire room... The window was open, the door curtain fluttering, cold air pouring in...

"There’s no smell of blood," Sui Yi suddenly said.

Ming Lanyuan nodded, speaking to Yue Beiqing: "This is quite peculiar. There’s a lot of blood here, but not the slightest scent of blood, which we would have noticed... It’s likely that the other party used special drugs... I’ll need to run some tests and then give you the results."

"Hmm," Yue Beiqing nodded, glancing at the two on the bed, "Let’s wake them up. No one’s likely to get any sleep tonight anyway."

Ming Lanyuan yawned, suddenly looking at Gong Jiu: "Miss Gong looks unchanged... seems she’s had a meal... Well done."

She hadn’t vomited.

Gong Jiu raised her eyebrows, "I’ve seen worse... Besides, if I did vomit, I could swallow it back down... After all, these were the egg tarts made by Sui Yi."

Sui Yi: "...." Why does that sound so strange.

Many people were in the living room, but Sui Yi and three others later went back to their rooms, partially because they were really tired, and because...

After the door closed...

Sui Yi eyed Su Zimu, who was visibly fatigued from being startled awake, albeit his weariness might have stemmed from something else.

She knew that Old Master Su knew almost as much as she did; fundamentally speaking, they understood only a mold of the truth, which wasn’t of much consequence to Yue Beiqing or the mastermind wanting to purge The Gate. Naturally, Su Zimu wouldn’t hold much value as a target to be killed...

But she was still among the thirteen.

After entering, Su Zimu placed his backpack to one side and sat on a chair, telling Sui Yi: "Before grandfather agreed to let me come here, he said the only person I could rely on in this place was you, Miss Sui."

"Yue Beiqing and his people will protect you," Sui Yi had already seen that Su Zimu was different from the others—to Yue Beiqing and his people.

"I know," Su Zimu crossed his hands on his lap and sighed lightly: "Otherwise, grandfather wouldn’t have let me come here..."

Sui Yi looked at him... then at Qinghan and Gong Jiu, thoughtfully. Qinghan blinked, standing up to say, "I’ll go check on their condition..."

Gong Jiu was somewhat reluctant...

"I think it’s not necessary for you two to leave... In fact, you both are now involved, and it’s necessary to understand some things."

Sui Yi frowned, realizing the situation was much more complicated than she had imagined.

So, the two stayed. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to visit qidian.com to vote for it, monthly tickets are very much appreciated. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please visit m.qidian.com to continue reading.)
