CHAPTER 1144: 1222: XINSAN ARMY, VICE-COMMANDER OF THE THREE ARMIES, IS HER

Looking at Haoming like this, Dong Huiying furrowed her brow into a tight knot.

Shu Yu sat on the bed, wrapped in a thick quilt. Seeing Haoming in such a state, he slightly furrowed his brow. "No matter why you didn’t come home before, and no matter what your reasons were, now, your wife and us have seen you. This means we are already caught up in the mess, and regretting now is useless. You might as well be honest. This way, if something happens in the future, you don’t have to be blind to it."

Haoming knew his second brother was right. Suddenly, his shoulders slumped, as if all the strength had been drained from him. "I..." He pressed his lips together, then said hoarsely, "I was in the black market, on a mission, went to the Capital, got injured, ran out of my wife’s medicine, took other stuff, a Beast Pill, I can understand animals speaking."

Dong Huiying was stunned. Beast Pill, can understand beast speech?

She exchanged a glance with Shu Yu, and Shu Yu looked towards Little Wu standing at the door, "Yue Ning, go and bring Da Bai over."

Yue Ning scratched his neck. Nodding, he walked out, and shortly after, led the White Tiger inside.

"Roar?" Da Bai tilted his head to look at Dong Huiying.

Shu Yu looked again at Lao Si. Lao Si Haoming dryly said, "Da Bai asked, woman, are you looking for me?"

"Roar roar?" Da Bai looked again at Lao Si.

Haoming continued, "Da Bai said, what do you want from me."

After quite a while, Shu Yu furrowed his brow, "So according to you, the reason you haven’t come home in the past two years is because of this Beast Pill?"

"They want to take the Beast Pill back," Lao Si said slowly. "The Beast Pill, eaten. Don’t want to die, didn’t dare to go home, they want to kill me."

His words were unclear, yet Shu Yu understood. Lao Si feared implicating his family. Because of the Beast Pill, he was being hunted, and if he rashly returned home, he might bring calamity to them.

Dong Huiying sighed heavily, "You keep saying ’they,’ so who are ’they’? Since this trouble arose from the Capital, are they serving people from the Capital?"

Lao Si pressed his lips, "Xinsan Army, Vice-Commander of the Three Armies, it’s her."

Dong Huiying began to piece together the clues she currently had. Then she suddenly asked, "So, does the black market know about your situation?"

She was internally fuming, certain that accepting a mission from the black market had led to this sequence of events, yet despite her frequent visits to the black market over the past two years to gather information, she found nothing. What exactly does the black market signify?

When Dong Huiying brought this up, Lao Si suddenly paused.

"Black Dog is dead."

The black market, its underlying power is called the Assassin Alliance, a killer organization. As for Black Dog, Dong Huiying had some impression of him. The son of the Assassin Alliance’s leader, he was quite decent, yet he is dead, indicating that even within the Assassin Alliance, there is unrest.

***

While Dong Huiying and Shu Yu were interrogating Lao Si, Fengsu walked into a mansion at the same time. As soon as he entered, a butterfly-like figure eagerly ran towards him.

"Second Brother~~~~~" The young girl embraced Fengsu, her face lit up with a bright, warm smile, revealing her seemingly cheerful nature.

Fengsu patted her head, "You, why can’t you stay calm from day to day? Qing Yue was meant to protect you, but instead, you sent him to my side. If anything happened here, what would you do?"
