Chapter 167 - Rage For Jun Min
As Lan Gao Ya stared foolishly, another person also looks at the building in disbelief. He had carefully counted the time and he thought that given Jun Min ability, he could sense the fire quickly and get out. But, it seems there is something wrong, very wrong here.
Lan Ping stands up and walks towards the building. He cannot believe it. Jun Min cannot die just like this. He is a general and should have died on the battlefield honorably. What would people say if they know that he's the one who set this up?
The fire didn't spread out as this store is separated by small road towards the other store. This is also the reason Lan Ping chooses the store, it would not damages the others. The fire is starting to die down, only leaving some burnt woods and all. He moved towards the front part of the building. Before he could try to dig, another person had done it.
Lan Ping is stunned to see Nanglong Soujin in front of him, digging furiously.
"If you don't want to help, scram!"
Soujin is walking with Yan along this place when they noticed a smoke going up. They know that there is a fire going on, so they tried to come towards the place only to be greeted by the scene of building falling. He was surprised and his hearts turn cold when he heard the woman, who's covered by wet blanked, yelled that name.
Without thinking, he had rushed up to the building, hoping to find Jun Min from the burnt out building and safe him.
Digging through the woods makes his finger burnt, but Soujin doesn't care. From behind him, Yan is also helping with some of the males coming together. Their servants also showing themselves and helping, how could they let their master did the job alone? They too don't want the young general to die in such a way.
"There is a person here!"
Soujin turned and some of the villagers drag out a body out from the woods. The person body is completely burnt black without any change to recognize him anymore. What they could know is this person stature is small, like a young teenager.
Soujin didn't dare to come any closer. It has only been a few minutes… why would they need to part in such a way? He shifted his head towards the girl.
"What exactly happened?"
"I don't know! I really don't know!" Lan Gao Ya is crying. She is afraid that they would blame her for this. Her pitiful appearance usually would make people feel pity, but this time, no one did because they know she had made Jun Min died. Facing the raging Soujin, how could she not afraid?
"You are the one with him last time, what happened in that room?" person 1 asked.
"He even took the effort of saving you, what are you doing?" person 2 yelled.
Lan Gao Ya feels suffocated hearing that many question thrown at her, and then she feels a strong grip on her collar. Lou had picked her up and looks at her coldly per his master order. From the distance, Soujin voice is heard.
"Tell me the truth."
She wanted to break free, but a pouch suddenly fall because of her struggle. Seeing that pouch, Lan Ping face turned ashen. That was…
Shu took the pouch before anyone could react. His expression changed drastically as he handed the pouch to his master. Yan looked at the pouch as his hearts grow cold.
"How could a noble lady like you possibly has such item?" Yan voice is devoid of emotion, but the surrounding people could feel the killing intent emanated from his body. The usual warm and playful Yan is gone, he's truly angry.
Soujin also looks at the pouch as his expression hardened. That woman dares to…
"It's not mine! Lan Ping is the one giving me that! He told me to keep it!" Lan Gao Ya shouted, blurting the truth right away.
When Lan Ping heard that, he knows that this matter had blown up. He needs to get away from that place as soon as possible. With that in mind, he turned away and started to run from the scene.
"Shu!"
Shu chased after Lan Ping. His speed is faster than Lan Ping because he was trained as assassins, but before he can reach Lan Ping, a man had tackled Lan Ping and put a knife on his neck. That man wears the black clothes with his mouth is covered in cloth and his eyes are blazing with fire.
"What did you do to Young Master?" a voice filled with anger is directed towards Lan Ping. Shu stopped in his track and looked towards Soujin and Yan who had walked over.
"He's one of Jun Min bodyguards?" Yan looks towards Soujin.
Soujin nodded. He had detected this man presence way back when he's going with Jun Min. Because of that he knows that Jun Min is protected by someone though that person is weaker than Jun Min. He still remembered that person presence, so he knows that this man is indeed the same one. Besides, he had seen the other party once at the hunt.
Lan Ping struggled, but the man instead put the knife nearer to his neck. He didn't dare to move anymore. He realized that this man would not hesitate to kill him if it's needed. It's over… his career and life would be over…
"Girl, you better tell us what happened inside."
"I just ask him to accompany me, but after drinking tea I feel dizzy. He tried to wake me up and after I do, he wraps me in wet blanked then throws me out of the window!" Lan Gao Ya simplifies the experience while yelling. Lou hadn't ceased his strength in gripping her. It won't kill her, but it will hurt the girl.
"In the first place, why are you with him?" Yan remembers that Jun Min is walking towards his home. Why should he suddenly change course? There must be something happened in between.
"I had a clash with Lan Ping and Jun Min helped me."
"Is that true?" Soujin looks towards Lan Ping. "I see, so you're the kind that will force yourself to woman. And here I thought that you're an upright man."
Lan Ping wants to tell the truth, but the knife is pressed more firms on his neck. If he dares to do anything, the man before him would probably slice his neck without hesitation. This kind of dangerous man, why would he follow Jun Min around?
Shu looks towards the men coming from distance. "The investigation forces are here. Let's leave it to them."
Soujin clenched his fist. This matter has suddenly gone beyond what they expected. Now that Jun Min had died, what would become with the Jun family?
