CHAPTER 394: CHAPTER 394

"What?!"

Fu Youhan’s deep eyes seemed to be stirred with shock and disbelief.

Because even if Wen You wasn’t the actual Dead Ghost, he was still a one-in-a-million top assassin.

After all, Fu Youhan had personally witnessed the entire process of Wen You witnessing a shooting during the arrest.

But Wen You, with his impressive marksmanship, just died like that?

Chi Jing sensed Fu Youhan’s shock and continued reporting:

"Yes, it was Wen You himself, I’ve confirmed it multiple times. Moreover, Wen You died from a gunshot to the head, with a plum blossom-shaped bullet hole in his forehead. Not just Wen You, but nearly all the members of Orion also died from headshots with plum blossom-shaped bullet holes..."

Fu Youhan felt his heart tremble fiercely once more.

So was it the real Dead Ghost who killed Wen You and caused the massive deaths of the Orion mercenaries today?

At this moment, Fu Youhan felt an uncomfortable blockage in his heart, and the image of Jiang Moxi inexplicably flashed through his mind.

Perhaps it was guilt towards Jiang Moxi; maybe it was concern about her mental state after being left alone at the wedding—that his mind constantly conjured up her image.

Having gathered his emotions, Fu Youhan then hurried to the ferry.

On his way to the ferry, Fu Youhan made several calls to Jiang Moxi.

But Jiang Moxi did not answer any of them.

Fu Youhan thought, Xixi must be mad at him again.

However, he planned to resolve these chaotic matters as soon as possible and return to her side to coax her properly.

Soon, the car arrived at the ferry.

The scene was already cordoned off with police tape, barring civilians from entering.

Even those professionals who deal with similar cases regularly were so disturbed by the gruesome scene that their stomachs churned.

Even the subordinates brought by Fu Youhan couldn’t help but crouch down and start retching at the side.

Seeing this, Fu Youhan also felt a clear discomfort in his stomach, but he only wanted to expedite the investigation of the site and then go find Jiang Moxi.

Soon, Chi Jing brought him to Wen You’s body.

Fu Youhan took the gloves Chi Jing handed him, put them on, and turned the body over, discovering bandages on the corpse’s arms and legs, unwrapping them to see wounds that indeed had not yet healed.

This person was indeed Wen You who he had been protecting recently, but now her forehead bloomed with Blood Plum Blossoms, her eyes open in death in a way that was haunting to behold.

Chi Jing said, "The tally is in. There are a total of 230 bodies on-site. Apart from ten killed by standard gunfire, the remaining 220 bodies were all killed with a headshot from the Plum Blossom Spear. Moreover, these 220 corpses were all Orion mercenaries."

"Then it must be the real Dead Ghost who did it. Only the real Dead Ghost has the ability to take on a hundred by himself, and only he could minimize civilian casualties amid such a crisis."

Fu Youhan said this while staring at Wen You’s corpse.

No matter how he looked, he couldn’t understand why Wen You would pretend to be the real Dead Ghost.

He felt like he was overlooking something important!

"At the time the gunshots rang out, the nearby residents were all very scared, hiding in their homes with doors and windows tightly shut, so no one saw anything of value. However, they all said that after the intense firefight, they heard the sound of a helicopter."

"It’s probably Xuanming’s people coming to pick up Dead Ghost."

After finishing, Fu Youhan saw several security cameras near the ferry and asked Chi Jing, "Did those cameras capture anything useful?"

"They’ve been sent to the Information Security Department, and we expect to have results tonight," Chi Jing reported.

"Let it be for now, have the bodies sent for autopsy, see if there are any clues."

Fu Youhan gave these instructions and then called Jiang Moxi again.

Now that the massive influx of Orion mercenaries into Yan City had been dealt with by Dead Ghost, Fu Youhan felt a bit more at ease, wanting to properly dote on his bride.

But Jiang Moxi’s phone was still unanswered.

Fu Youhan called Jiang Moxi’s number several more times, and after a few attempts went unanswered, he could only direct the call to Ling Ye.

Xiao Ye, where is Xixi? Let her answer the phone, quick."

As soon as Ling Ye picked up the phone, Fu Youhan urged impatiently.

He wanted to report to Jiang Moxi that the current crisis had been temporarily resolved, and he could now spare time to plan an even grander wedding for her, hoping Jiang Moxi would cool off soon.

But on the other side of the phone, Ling Ye hesitantly told Fu Youhan: "Uncle, Moxi is gone."

"Gone? What do you mean? Did she go home?"

At this moment, Fu Youhan had taken the car keys from Chi Jing and was preparing to drive to Tianqin Bay.

"I’m not sure."

Ling Ye’s answer once again caused Fu Youhan’s heart to heavily hang in suspense.

His tone turned especially stern: "You’re not sure? Didn’t I tell you to keep an eye on her?"

"I wanted to keep good watch over her too! But when I turned around after handling the formalities, she was gone. However, Aunt Suchen might know where Moxi went. Before Moxi left, she was with them both."

Ling Ye told Fu Youhan everything he knew as best as he could.

So Fu Youhan could only say: "I got it, I’ll go back first to check, and if I can’t find her, I’ll go find Suchen."

Fu Youhan quickly hung up and drove straight to Tianqin Bay.

But there was no one in Tianqin Bay.

After coaxing Jiang Moxi back the day before yesterday, Fu Youhan, through much persuasion, managed to have Jiang Moxi bring all her luggage back.

Fu Youhan thought, if Jiang Moxi were to leave Yan City, she would definitely go home to take her luggage.

But opening the closet, Fu Youhan found Jiang Moxi’s backpack and laptop lying quietly in the corner.

So she hasn’t left Yan City?

This discovery let Fu Youhan breathe a sigh of relief.

Then Fu Youhan hurriedly drove to Suchen’s house.

But whether it was Suchen or Lai De, seeing Fu Youhan made them exceptionally angry.

Compared to Suchen’s weeping and wailing, Lai De’s way of expressing his anger was more direct.

He stepped forward, grabbed Fu Youhan by the collar and reprimanded him.

"Fu Youhan, even if Xixi’s family doesn’t value her, it doesn’t give you the right to bully her!"

Fu Youhan dared not complain and could only tell Lai De calmly: "I never thought about bullying her. I love her more than anyone and wish for her happiness more than anything!"

"If you love her, why then did you leave her alone at the wedding? Do you have any idea how desperate Xixi looked at that time?"

Suchen, recalling Jiang Moxi’s lifeless and stunned appearance at that time, still felt her heart clenching in pain.

Therefore, she swore that if Xixi is willing to become their daughter in the future, a son-in-law like Fu Youhan would be immediately refused at the door!

"I had no choice but to do so. Just now, a shootout occurred at the Ferry, and the death toll has risen to 230. I was ordered to investigate this case, so..."

Fu Youhan’s words caused a slight change in Lai De’s expression.

He indeed had heard before that Fu Youhan had been a mercenary years ago and came back to Yan City to hold a key position in a secret department after injuring his leg.

But until then, Lai De had taken those stories as jokes.

After all, Fu Youhan was just one man, not a god.

How could he possibly establish his own business empire in secret while also being able to hold a significant position?

However, now, Fu Youhan’s explanation was an implied confirmation of those rumors.

But Fu Youhan didn’t give Lai De a chance to express his astonishment; he pleaded directly: "Please tell me where Xixi is now. She must be very upset, let me find her, comfort her, make it up to her, will you?"

Despite Fu Youhan lowering his voice and begging humbly, Suchen could only tell him:

"We don’t know where Xixi has gone either. She went with Young Master Si."

Fu Youhan’s expression changed slightly: "Young Master Si? Si Lin?!"
