Chapter 227

Everyone sat down in the private room and got to know each other, talking and laughing.

Mu Ziyu and He Fang were the center of the crowd. From time to time, the two of them would throw out some interesting news, making everyone laugh.

Gu Chen listened more than he spoke. He observed He Fangzheng silently.

They didn't look alike at all.

No matter how he looked at it, He Fangzheng didn't look like an assassin from the Nether God Palace.

Gu Chen had dealt with a large number of assassins from the Underworld God Palace. Most of them had a cold and dark temperament. Even if they tried to hide it, he could always find something unusual about them.

However, He Fangzheng was like a warm spring breeze, making people not feel cold at all. It was not an exaggeration to say that he was smooth and slick.

"Jiang Yige believes that He Fangzheng is related to the missing persons case that he is investigating. He can dig out the big secret of the Nether God Palace from He Fangzheng."

"But He Fangzheng has been cultivating in the True Martial Academy for the past few years. How did he get involved with the Nether God Palace?"

Gu Chen pondered.

"It's about time. The gathering is about to begin. Today's gathering will be conducted through an auction. I've prepared quite a few treasures. Let's go out together. Don't let the others wait too long."

He Fangzheng spoke halfway through the conversation.

Everyone stood up and wanted to go downstairs to participate in the auction. Only Gu Chen and the others did not move.

"Brother Chen, Brother Zhu, Miss Ye, what's wrong? You can often find treasures that are hard to find outside at my Cool Breeze Villa's gatherings. Don't miss it. "

He Fangzheng reminded in a friendly manner.

"I'm just here to watch the show today. Brother He, you can go ahead with your business."

Gu Chen replied with a smile.

He had no intention of participating in the transaction. His goal was only to observe He Fangzheng.

It was enough to observe him from the second floor.

"What about Brother Zhu and Miss Ye?"

He then looked at Zhu Yilun and Ye Qingshuang.

One of them was Gu Chen's subordinate, while the other was kidnapped. Of course, they also shook their heads.

"In that case, please go ahead. We'll be leaving first."

He gave Zhu Yilun a meaningful look before leading the others away.

"Aiya, I'm not going to join in the fun. I'll just sit here."

Mu Ziyu, who was about to go downstairs, suddenly changed her mind and stayed.

He Fangzheng and company left immediately and soon arrived downstairs.

As soon as he took his seat, many students crowded around him, and the atmosphere was lively and lively.

Gu Chen looked down at He Fangzheng through the window. He had to admit that He Fangzheng was a charismatic leader.

"Fangzheng has really grown up."

Mu Ziyu looked down at He Fangzheng and sighed.

"Is Miss Mu very familiar with Brother He?"

Gu Chen's heart thumped as he asked.

He had already noticed this when they were chatting, but he didn't dare to ask Fangzheng directly.

"Of course. Back when I was still a student and was about to graduate, Fangzheng had just entered True Martial College."

Mu Ziyu said with a smile, "You guys don't know this. Don't think that this kid is so cool now, and he's even the number one expert in the Hidden Dragon Ranking. But when he first entered the True Martial Academy, he was bullied a lot."

"Oh? Brother He's talent is outstanding, and you should be one of the best among your peers the moment you enter the academy. How could you be bullied? "

Gu Chen asked curiously.

"Outstanding talent?"

Mu Ziyu shook her head and sighed. "Fangzheng is outstanding now, but I think the reason why he could have such achievements is because of his hard work far more than his talent."

"He is a very hardworking person. I remember that with his talent, he actually couldn't get into True Martial Academy. It was because the He family was powerful in Qingzhou, and True Martial Academy considered that they often needed their help, so they made an exception and let him in."

"After he entered the academy, he suffered a lot. At that time, I had a deep impression of him. I thought that he wouldn't be able to last long and would be forced to drop out."

"Who would have thought that in just two years, he seemed to have been reborn and rose all the way until he became a top student in the Inner Yard."

"Heaven rewards the diligent. This is probably what people like him are talking about."

Mu Ziyu sighed and glanced at Gu Chen. "It doesn't matter if his talent is low. The most important thing is to have ambition. Only in this way can he be worthy of those good girls."

Her words were sarcastic to Gu Chen. Unfortunately, Gu Chen didn't care and was attracted by her story.

"All of a sudden, he was reborn …"

Gu Chen murmured in his heart.

"Hey, Chen Gu, I'm talking to you, can you hear me?"

Mu Ziyu saw Gu Chen's absent-mindedness and said unhappily.

The reason why she deliberately stayed was to supervise Gu Chen and Ye Qingshuang, wanting to catch him.

At the same time, she had been testing Gu Chen, wanting to know what his background was.

Unfortunately, Gu Chen hid it well, and she didn't get any useful information. She was very discouraged.

"Sorry, Miss Mu, I was distracted."

Gu Chen answered truthfully, and Mu Ziyu was speechless.

"Forget it, I still have things to do, so I'll leave first."

She stood up and left the private room gloomily.

"It seems that I have to find out Chen Gu's background in another way. I must find out what his background is!"

She said, gritting her teeth.

After Mu Ziyu left, Ye Qingshuang glanced at Gu Chen with a faint smile.

"Teacher Mu seems to care a lot about you. What is your relationship?"

As a woman, she was sensitive and could sense that Mu Ziyu was targeting Gu Chen.

However, she didn't understand Mu Ziyu's real thoughts and thought that the two had some unspeakable relationship.

In her eyes, Gu Chen was extremely mysterious. If he really had a relationship with Mu Ziyu, she might be able to understand him through her to ensure that he was worthy of trust and cooperation.

"Would you believe me if I said that we met by chance?"

Gu Chen responded coldly.

Ye Qingshuang's expression was that of a fool.

"Quasi-Daoist Chen, she …"

Zhu Yilun looked at Ye Qingshuang hesitantly when he saw that there were no idle people waiting.

"She is temporarily cooperating with me to investigate Jiang Yige. If you have anything to say, just say it. Don't worry about her."

Gu Chen said coldly.

Zhu Yilun nodded and then smiled bitterly.

"Quasi-Daoist Chen, why didn't you tell me when you came to the True Martial Arts Academy? I could have welcomed you."

"I'm here to perform a task, not to play. Let's skip the formalities."

Gu Chen shook his head and looked at Zhu Yilun with a profound meaning.

"What a coincidence that you are also here in the Breeze Villa today?"

"Jiang Daoist has been missing in the academy for so long. I can't escape the blame, so I naturally want to find a breakthrough."

Zhu Yilun smiled bitterly. "Recently, I found some new clues, so I came here to investigate. I didn't expect to meet you, Quasi-Daoist Chen."

"Oh? You also found a clue? "

Gu Chen's eyes flickered. "Is this clue also related to Fangzheng?"

"It's hard to say."

Zhu Yilun was a little hesitant. "It's like this. We just found out that Jiang Daoist attended the party in the Breeze Villa before he disappeared. So those who have been in contact with him that day are all suspects. "

"Fangzheng is the leader of the Breeze Villa. Naturally, we can't rule out this suspicion, but according to our investigation, another person is more suspicious."
