Chapter 1550 Silenced

Housekeeper Fu bowed slightly: "The task of dispatching cars has always been handled by the team leader, Old man Li."

"Then call Old man Li over."

"Yes, Old Master!"

Soon, Xiao Sanzi came to call him: "Old Master, that Old man Li got sick yesterday and didn’t come to work today."

"The team leader is sick, so who dispatched the car?" Ou Zhengli wondered.

Ou Zhengren said: "Just ask the two drivers, and we’ll know. Xiao Sanzi, go and call the two drivers on duty today."

"Yes."

Xiao Sanzi left, and this time he took a while. But when he returned, he was panting heavily, eyes wide with fright, his face pale, and his voice was trembling: "N-No good, Master Gou and Master Fu are both dead!"

"What, dead?"

The three brothers were astonished simultaneously, and stood up together.

Even Mengyu was shocked, both drivers dead?

She couldn’t help but blame herself, how could she not have thought the killer would silence the two drivers? Moreover, Fu Miao’s protective jade was used up, but Driver Gou’s protective jade wasn’t, why would he die?

If she had known earlier, she should have closely monitored the two drivers instead of first seeking information from Ou Pengfei.

She still underestimated the cruelty of the killer.

"Where? Quickly take us there."

Xiao Sanzi only nodded and then walked ahead.

Originally, it was thought that the team drivers would reside in the front area upon entering the Ou Family, but unexpectedly, the drivers live not in the Qu Family Mansion but in another small courtyard outside.

Mengyu scanned with her Divine Sense and discovered Drivers Fu and Gou lying in separate rooms.

What puzzled Mengyu was that neither had their Protective Spirit Jade, Driver Fu could be understood, but where did Driver Gou’s Protective Spirit Jade go?

She regretted not leaving Divine Thought on the Protective Spirit Jade. However, having made so many Spiritual Jade Pendants, each carved with protective arrays, if she left Divine Thought on each, it would deplete her Divine Sense too much.

Indeed, leaving Divine Thought is different from consuming Divine Sense.

Consuming Divine Sense is akin to the gradual exhaustion of one’s spiritual power, but once you recollect it, it can recover to peak status, while leaving Divine Thought means you’ve extended your spiritual power, which cannot be reclaimed.

Therefore, all the Spiritual Jade Pendants she made, none contained Divine Thought.

The Spiritual Jade Pendants on these two drivers, naturally, didn’t have Divine Thought either.

Mengyu scanned again and noticed both drivers had a dark aura at their brows, they died of poisoning!

No wonder, the Spiritual Jade Pendant couldn’t protect Driver Gou.

If someone attacked Driver Gou, activating the protective mechanism of the Spiritual Jade Pendant, it would automatically protect its master, but if poisoned, it cannot distinguish, thus, if the master ingests poison, it cannot protect them.

The critical point is, who took the Spiritual Jade Pendant?

If the killer took the Spiritual Jade Pendant, does that mean whoever has the Spiritual Jade Pendant is the killer?

Although she didn’t leave Divine Thought, she can always detect her own creations at a close distance. Hence, Mengyu immediately scanned the entire mansion.

Unfortunately, after scanning the entire mansion, Mengyu couldn’t find anyone carrying the Spiritual Jade Pendant.

Further inspection revealed the Jade Pendant was locked in a makeup box. And in that room, an old woman was sitting on the bed, with a maid standing beside her.

If Mengyu guessed correctly, this old woman is Hai Xue’s stepmother.
