Chapter 15: The Elusive One Seeks Him

  "Let him come find us? Is that possible?" Wen Meng was somewhat skeptical, because she felt that Yin Wu would not have time to hide from them now, and wouldn't come looking for them.

  Ke Hualang smiled calmly and said, "He definitely will. Last night we were about to catch him without saying a word, such a proud person, he must want to figure out what's going on."

  "But how can you be sure he'll come looking for us instead of going after Fang Baiyu?" Wen Meng still didn't understand.

  Hualang La Wenmeng walked towards the tea stall by the side of the road and said, "It's simple. Fang Baiyu and those people have good kung fu skills. If Yin Wuchu goes to find them, he probably won't get a good result. We're different, just the two of us. You have kung fu skills, but Yin Wuchu can handle you easily. He's not afraid, so naturally he'll come after us."

  After hearing Hua Lang's words, Wen Meng felt that it was reasonable. However, after careful consideration, she suddenly became very angry and said: "If Yin Wu had no fault from the start and killed us, wouldn't we be miserable?"

  Hualang smiled faintly: "How could that be? You can rest assured, if someone is too curious, they won't kill us right away."

  As soon as he finished speaking, a voice suddenly came from behind the two of them: "What you said is right, I won't kill you immediately."

  "This is Yin Wuchuang's voice, both of them are very clear. After hearing Yin Wuchuang's voice, Hualang slowly turned around and smiled: 'Brother Yin has been monitoring the Wen Mansion all along, I suppose you've been following us for a long time?'"

  Yin Wu Cuo listened to Hua Lang's words and suddenly felt a shock, asking: "How did you know?"

  Hualang burst out laughing: "If I didn't know, how would I have left with Fang Baiyu and the others to lure you out?"

  Yin Wu looked at Hua Lang, he was a little unbelievable, everything about him seemed to be controlled by this bookish person, he suddenly felt that this person was too scary.

  Yin saw no mistake, hesitated, and the flower gentleman smiled faintly: "Brother Yin doesn't have to worry, I know you're not a murderer. Today, bringing Brother Yin out is just wanting to make friends with Brother Yin and asking for a small favor."

  Yin looked at Hualang with a puzzled expression and asked: "Do you believe I'm not the murderer?"

  Hualang nodded: "Last night, a murder case occurred at the Wen Mansion. After the murder, we all rushed to the scene immediately, but only Yin brother was nowhere to be seen. Later, after investigation, we found that the victim was killed by someone with extremely skilled knife skills. At that time, in the Wen Mansion, except for Wen Yidao and Wen Meng, who were good at knife skills, it was you. They suspected that you also had some reason."

  After listening to Hualang's words, Yin Wucheng finally understood why he was suspected of being the murderer. Hualang then said, "There is a teahouse up ahead, let's go have some tea and talk more about it."

  At this time, Yin Wu had a good impression of Hua Lang and said: "Good!"

  The teahouse was very small, but there was plenty of tea. After pouring a few bowls of tea, Hu Lang looked at Yin Wu and said, "Brother Yin, don't you want to defend yourself?"

  Yin picked up a cup of tea and drank it all in one gulp, saying: "You don't suspect me of being the murderer, do you? What's there to explain?"

  Hualang also picked up a cup of tea and drank it all, smiling and saying: "Alright, Brother Yin doesn't explain and I still believe you, but does Brother Yin not want to know who wants to harm him?"

  Yin Wuchuang and Wen Meng were both shocked upon hearing this, and Yin Wuchuang hastily asked: "Are you saying that all of this is a conspiracy aimed at harming me?"

  Hualang nodded: "Of course, the real murderer killed Wenming just to provoke a feud between your Huainan Yin family and the Tianchang Wen family, letting them fight each other like two tigers."

  "But if our two families were to fight each other, who would benefit?" Yin Wuchang was momentarily at a loss.

  Hualang smiled faintly: "I don't know either, but judging from the current situation, the Yangzhou Fang family is most likely to benefit."

  The rivers and lakes are the same as the imperial court, where there is struggle for power and personal gain, they do not hesitate to kill or be killed. From ancient times to the present, the occurrence of monopolizing the rivers and lakes has never been rare.

  Hualang finished speaking, and Wen Meng suddenly said with some disbelief: "Impossible, how could Fang Dage provoke the feud between the Wen family and the Yin family? He's not that kind of person."

  Seeing Wen Meng like this, Hua Lang felt a bit helpless in his heart. However, some things aren't nonexistent just because you don't believe in them.

  "I also don't want to think that Fang Baiyu is the murderer, but judging from all the signs now, Fang Baiyu's suspicion is indeed very great. In the entire Wen family, the only person with high enough kung fu skills to kill Wen Ming with one knife besides Yin Wuchang is Fang Baiyu. After Wen Ming was killed, Fang Baiyu used some hints to make everyone shift their attention to Yin Wuchang, thus causing conflict between the two families."

  Hualang had just finished speaking when Yin Wuchuang looked puzzled: "I've fought with Fang Baiyu before, his kung fu isn't as good as you said, he's not even my match."

  Hualang smiled faintly: "Is that so? He only used a fan, what if he had used a knife?"

  Hualang finished speaking, but Wenmeng still didn't dare to believe it. No matter what, she and Fang Baiyu had grown up together since childhood, and she couldn't accept that Fang Baiyu was the murderer.

  Before finishing a cup of tea, Wen Meng was about to get up and bid farewell. Hua Lang saw this and said to Yin Wu, "Brother Yin, hide well for the next few days. At that time, I'm afraid we'll still need your help."

  Yin shook his head and left afterwards.

  Hualang caught up with Wenmeng after she had walked ahead of him. Seeing that she was still in a bad mood, he also fell silent and simply followed her home.

  They had gone halfway when Wen Meng suddenly asked, "Do you really suspect Fang Baiyu is the murderer?"

  The young man saw this and did not evade it, saying: "That's right, I am suspicious of you!"

  After this sentence, Wen Meng suddenly slapped a palm on Hualang's body and said: "You are jealous, so you say he is the murderer, right?"

  That slap wasn't light, and Hu Lang covered his own chest, coughing dryly twice before saying: "I'm jealous? What do I have to be jealous of? You never planned on marrying Fang Baiyu anyway, and with me it was just a fake relationship. What's there for me to be jealous of? It's probably Fang Baiyu who should be the one feeling jealous."

  After their most intense argument, Wen Meng suddenly realized that his previous slap was too heavy, so he quickly asked: "How are you? Are you okay?"

  Hualang knew that Wen Meng was feeling unwell in her heart, and smiled helplessly, saying: "As long as it can relieve you, even if I die, I won't think it's a big deal."

  Her heart suddenly warmed up, tears flowed out, but soon she burst out laughing and said: "You... you rascal, all you know is to tease me."

  The lovely young woman's appearance was fully revealed, making people look at her with great affection. The flower gentleman saw this and his heart was full of fondness, saying: "Good good, I am a bad person."

  The two of them joked as they hurried towards the Wen manor, worried that Fang Baiyu would make another move.
