"Wrong... There must be some mistake," Ling Mufeng said with utter disbelief.
"It should... there can't be any mistake," Lu Haichuan stuttered, also finding it hard to believe.
But he was aware of the Ever Winning Army's methods.
Unless there was a second Gu Zhiqi in the world, it would be impossible to make a mistake.
Tang Yichen also felt somewhat conflicted.
Although he verbally instructed Yun Yan to take the transcript for comparison, he did not really believe it in his heart. Yet now, he had no choice but to believe.
It seemed, indeed, that this young girl had single-handedly taken down more than a dozen men.
He sneaked a glance at the girl's slender arms and legs.
If it wasn't for the fact that she did not exhibit a shred of Ancient Martial Arts aura, he would have suspected that she was an Ancient Martial Artist.
"When you all leave, please remember to close the door behind you. Thank you." Gu Zhiqi spoke up when she noticed Tang Yichen looking over. Her tone was indifferent.
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen touched his nose. Was she starting to drive people away?
"May I ask, with whom did you practice?" Driven by curiosity, Tang Yichen asked Gu Zhiqi this question.
As soon as Tang Yichen spoke up, Lu Haichuan and Yun Yan both looked at Gu Zhiqi, equally curious.
Only Ling Mufeng remained in disbelief.
"No need to see me out." Having said that, Gu Zhiqi turned and flopped onto the bed, pulling the covers over herself quickly, and lay down with her back to them all.
Tang Yichen and his two companions "..."
The young girl wasn't old, but she sure had a big temper.
**
After leaving the sickroom, Ling Mufeng hurriedly left with a pale face after exchanging brief farewells with Tang Yichen and the others.
Of the three, only Lu Haichuan politely bid him farewell.
Now that the official business was done, Tang Yichen could finally stop being so serious. He slung an arm over Yun Yan's shoulders with a "bros before anything" attitude and asked again to be certain, "Yun Yan, are you sure that Third Brother personally interrogated her? Hope nobody is trying to pull the wool over our eyes."
Until now, he still found it hard to believe that such a small and slender young girl had taken down more than a dozen grown men on her own.
He hadn't never seen such a thing, but what he had seen before involved Ancient Martial Artists fighting ordinary people. Gu Zhiqi, on the other hand, was just an ordinary young girl.
"Master Jin interrogated her," Yun Yan responded with a stern face, conveying the truth. After answering, he distanced himself from Tang Yichen silently.
"Brother Jin? But where's Third Brother then?" Tang Yichen muttered in a low voice.
Wasn't this case supposed to be handled by Third Brother?
"He's gone to Yan City."
Upon hearing this, Tang Yichen immediately became unhappy, "Did he go with Second Brother?"
To Yan City?
He probably went to Yueqi Village instead.
Yun Yan remained silent.
Seeing this, Tang Yichen knew he had guessed right and clenched his jaw in frustration, "They're too much, not bringing me along."
"Do you know why they went to Yan City? Is there news about Yue Ying?" Tang Yichen continued to probe.
If the two of them went together, it was surely to Yueqi Village, and it could only be for Yue Ying.
"Not sure," Yun Yan replied expressionlessly.
Tang Yichen pursed his lips, then said, "Good, now that the matter is dealt with, you can take the documents back to the capital yourself. I'm also heading to Yan City!"
"Alright," Yun Yan replied stoically.
"Hey? Fourth Master, are we just going to leave the girl's situation as it is?" Lu Haichuan touched his hair, "I still find it extremely baffling that a young girl could take down more than a dozen kidnappers."
"But there's no helping it, it seems she indeed didn't lie," Tang Yichen said, shrugging his shoulders.
He didn't quite believe it either, but the facts were before his eyes, and he couldn't help but accept them.
Listening to this, Lu Haichuan touched his hair again, "That means this young girl is pretty terrifying... Huh? Why are the Gu Family people here?"
