Revelation of the Way of Heaven

Chapter 178 Investigation

Announcement: Update coming soon, please stay tuned!

On the top floor of the Time Hotel, in front of the floor-to-ceiling window of a luxurious bedroom, a man stood quietly, overlooking the boats coming and going on the Yujiang River.

A woman stood quietly to one side, wearing a blue short skirt. She had a slender figure, and her long, fair legs were particularly eye-catching. If Qin Xiaochuan were here, he would definitely recognize that this woman was Cheng Xiaoman, whom he had met before.

"Boss, the tasks have been assigned," Cheng Xiaoman said.

"Very good, go and watch over him. Don't let him die easily. Only that person can deal with him personally," the man said without turning his head.

"Okay." Cheng Xiaoman agreed and was about to leave the room when she heard the man suddenly ask, "Xiaoman, what do you think we'll do with that person?"

"A child can't do much, I think someone will settle this matter for him," Cheng Xiaoman said.

"Don't underestimate him," the man said calmly, his body remaining motionless, like a statue. "Some people are born lions; even when they are asleep, their sharp claws can easily slice open an enemy's neck."

"In that case, would waking up this lion really be beneficial to your plan?" Cheng Xiaoman asked.

"Regardless of whether it's profitable or not, he is an indispensable part of the plan, the only key to open that passage, and that is the true meaning of the Blood Witch Clan's existence."

"I understand," Cheng Xiaoman replied with her head down. She waited for a while, and when the man stopped talking, she walked straight out of the room.

----------------------------------------

Qin Xiaochuan and the other two rode in a car provided by Keton Manor through a golf course. When they arrived at a villa decorated with white marble, the butler, dressed in a black suit, had been waiting there for a long time.

"Young Master Si, you've finally arrived. Our young lady has been waiting for you for a long time," the butler greeted him with a smile.

"Is Yuyan alright?" Si Chennan asked.

"Fortunately, there is the amulet made by Master Luo of Dongcheng for protection. Since that incident, the master has arranged for two superhumans to protect Miss at all times. This time, Young Master Si personally took action, and the master is very satisfied. I believe you will be able to catch the murderer soon." The butler introduced as he led the way.

The four of them had just entered the living room when a girl suddenly darted excitedly to Si Chennan's side. She was dressed like a doll, exquisite and cute, and grabbed Si Chennan's arm, saying, "Brother Chennan, you're finally here! I've been waiting for you for so long."

Si Chennan frowned slightly, showing little reaction to the girl's enthusiasm, and said coldly, "I'm here to investigate the case of your attack."

"Then I will definitely cooperate with you." Jiang Yuyan said in a coquettish voice, then glanced at Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi and asked, "What do these two do?"

"They are my companions," Si Chennan said calmly.

"Oh, then Uncle Liu, please take them to the living room for tea, and prepare some fruit and snacks. Don't neglect them." Jiang Yuyan said to the housekeeper beside her. Judging from her tone, she clearly regarded Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi as Si Chennan's underlings, and she was unusually warm and generous in order to give Si Chennan face.

Qin Xiaochuan felt a surge of anger and was about to lash out when he heard Si Chennan say, "No need. They are investigating with me and need to find out what happened that day together."

Jiang Yuyan looked at Si Chennan with dissatisfaction, pouting as she said, "Fine then."

The four of them sat down on the sofa in the living room. Jiang Yuyan pulled on Si Chennan's arm and asked, "Brother Chennan, is Mingde University fun? I'm going to university next year. My dad wants me to study abroad, but I still want to go to Mingde University like you."

"It's fine," Si Chennan said calmly, then asked, "Do you remember what happened that day?"

"Of course I remember. That day was so dangerous. I was really scared. I was thinking, 'Brother Chen Nan, if only you were here with me, then no one in this world could hurt me...'" Jiang Yuyan chattered on about what happened that day, trying her best to use exaggerated words to describe a dangerous scene. However, after talking for a long time, she kept avoiding the important points and didn't provide much truly useful information.

Guo Shiyi, growing impatient, interrupted, "Then do you know who wants to attack you?"

Jiang Yuyan looked at Guo Shiyi with some anger and said haughtily, "I was talking to Brother Chen Nan. Who gave you permission to interrupt me?"

"Yu Yan, you're not allowed to talk to Shi Yi like that." Si Chennan was a little annoyed.

"Fine, you actually side with her and even yelled at me. What did you call her? Shiyi? Why are you calling her so intimately?" Jiang Yuyan stomped her feet in anger.

Si Chennan was getting impatient, but for the sake of the mission, he took a deep breath, softened his voice, and said, "She is my companion. This is impolite of you."

"I don't care, I don't care, she's not allowed to say another word, or I won't say anything more, hmph!" Jiang Yuyan pouted, tilted her head, and looked at the ceiling with an air of arrogance.

Si Chennan felt like he had two heads to crack, so he looked to Guo Shiyi for help. The latter snorted coldly, crossed her arms, and looked to the side with an arrogant expression. Qin Xiaochuan gently patted her head to comfort her.

Si Chennan saw this and felt a surge of anger, but he was helpless. He simply said coldly to Jiang Yuyan, "She won't talk anymore. Now you can talk, right?"

Seeing that Si Chennan seemed a little angry, Jiang Yuyan put aside her temper and began to tell her story incessantly. The story lasted for nearly two hours, and in summary, there were only two useful points.

The first attacker was indeed a vampire. Three days ago, when her family's driver picked her up from school, she gave two of her classmates a ride. On the way home, they were attacked by a vampire. The two classmates were killed instantly, but she was saved at the critical moment because she was carrying a talisman. Her family received an alarm and rushed over, and the vampire hurriedly fled.

Secondly, the only person who has tried to attack her recently is a girl in her class named Yang Yutong. Just four days ago, after school, she and two classmates taught Yang Yutong a lesson because she felt that the girl dared to have such wishful thinking and covet her brother Chen Nan, which was unforgivable.

Si Chennan originally wanted to ask her how she taught Yang Yutong a lesson, but thinking that the other party might keep talking for another two hours, he held back. Since he already knew about the new lead, he might as well investigate it himself.

As the three of them left, Jiang Yuyan reluctantly tugged at Si Chennan's arm and said, "Brother Chennan, you must catch that vampire as soon as possible and avenge me."

Seeing Si Chennan nod, she glanced at Guo Shiyi and said, "Brother Chennan, you're so capable, you can catch that murderer all by yourself, why did you need to bring two other people with you?"

Guo Shiyi was furious and didn't want to stay there any longer. She turned and walked towards the door, and Qin Xiaochuan quickly followed.
