The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 525 - 489 Major Suspicion

Chapter 525: Chapter 489 Major Suspicion
Jingyu Garden.
After ten o’clock, Qiao Yuxian sat up in bed, groggily looking at the gauzy curtains of the floor-to-ceiling bed.
Last night Gu Yanjing was quite restrained.
She also got up in the morning. She simply had breakfast, handled some matters, and went back to sleep.
She slept until now.
Sitting in bed, she stared blankly outside for a while before getting up to wash up.
Gu Yanjing went to work.
They plan to go to D Continent in the afternoon.
Lu Mengyi and Lu Muyao are still there, the matter is still under investigation.
Her graduation ceremony here is over, and she’s planning to go take a look.
Gu Yanjing plans to accompany her there, so he’s handling work at the company in the morning.
With the company’s affairs settled, the two of them will go to D Continent in the afternoon.
Qiao Yuxian stood at the sink brushing her teeth, holding her phone, found Wen Mingcheng’s contact, and sent him a message: [Uncle Wen, I’m going to D Continent this afternoon, when do you have time to meet up?]
The message was sent, she waited for a while but didn’t receive a reply.
She didn’t mind too much.
Wen Mingcheng is very busy, sometimes it takes two or three days for him to reply to a message.
She sent another message to Liu Zhou, telling him she was going over today.
Liu Zhou has been in D Continent, following up on the medication issue.
He met with Wen Mingcheng twice after arriving in D Continent.
Liu Zhou said Wen Mingcheng seemed to be looking for someone.
But Wen Mingcheng didn’t specify, and Liu Zhou didn’t ask in detail.
Qiao Yuxian and Liu Zhou had a brief chat.
Quickly washing up, she went to pack her things.
In the afternoon, Gu Yanjing, she, Shang Chen and Meng Yan went to D Continent.
A flight of over five hours.
When they arrived in D Continent, people from the Lu Family came to pick them up.
Shang Yue and a man Qiao Yuxian didn’t recognize.
Gu Yanjing introduced him as a person of Lu Muyao, named Lu Wen.
Lu Wen had a pleasing appearance and very good personality.
Qiao Yuxian found it hard to imagine such an active person at Lu Muyao’s side.
She hadn’t seen Shang Yue for quite a while.
She used to always be by Lu Mengyi’s side.
But recently, when seeing Lu Mengyi, she hadn’t seen her.
Shang Yue was still sparing with words, but not as hostile towards her as before.
Qiao Yuxian learned she’d been in this area recently.
Lu Wen said Lu Muyao and Lu Mengyi had gone out on business and couldn’t return, so they sent the two of them to pick them up.
Qiao Yuxian chatted briefly with Shang Yue.
She was asking, Shang Yue answering.
Walking by the car, Gu Yanjing stood by the vehicle, waiting for Qiao Yuxian to get in.
A car suddenly stopped beside them from the distance.
The brake was abrupt.
The tires screeched against the ground.
Because D Continent is chaotic, the Lu Family brought numerous people to pick them up.
Hearing the commotion, everyone instantly became alert.
Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian also looked towards the car.
The car stopped, Liu Zhou hurriedly got out.
The Lu Family blocked Liu Zhou, preventing him from getting near.
Meng Yan said, "He’s one of us."
As those words were spoken, Liu Zhou stopped and didn’t approach further, saying to Qiao Yuxian, "Sister Xian, President Wen is in trouble."
Lu Wen and Shang Yue both looked at Qiao Yuxian.
Qiao Yuxian’s face suddenly turned cold, she walked straight to Liu Zhou: "What happened?"
"Not clear on the details." Liu Zhou was panting anxiously, "He’s in the hospital, the doctor said the situation doesn’t look good."
Qiao Yuxian felt her mind go blank for a moment.
All the blood in her body seemed to freeze.
Walking to Liu Zhou’s side, she truly felt how urgent Liu Zhou’s arrival was.
That urgency felt like being slower might mean not seeing Wen Mingcheng at all.
Without further conversation, they headed straight for Liu Zhou’s car.
Gu Yanjing followed them.
The three of them got in the vehicle.
Shang Chen and Meng Yan drove a Lu Family car behind them.
Letting Lu Wen and Shang Yue return first.
"Just past twelve noon, President Wen sent a distress message," Liu Zhou said while driving, "Near Qiang’an Mountain. I immediately took people over there. When we arrived, President Wen was lying by the stream, only..."
Listening to this location, Gu Yanjing’s lashes fluttered slightly.
"Just Uncle Wen alone?" Qiao Yuxian’s face was grim.
"Yes," Liu Zhou replied, "Only President Wen. I quickly sent him to the hospital. Left people there to investigate. There are signs of a fight, but only President Wen."
Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak.
Liu Zhou said, "Su Qi and I checked your flight information and came straight over."
"Okay," Qiao Yuxian responded softly, looking out the window.
Gu Yanjing looked at her, gripping her hand.
Qiao Yuxian tightly held back.
Almost an hour passed before they arrived at the hospital.
When they got there, Wen Mingcheng had already been moved out of the emergency room into the ICU.
Multiple fractures, severe internal bleeding. He took a bullet near the heart.
His leg and arm both had gunshot wounds.
They managed to save his life, but any moment his situation could deteriorate.
Gu Yanjing had a medical team flown in from abroad.
Using the best medical care, medications, and equipment.
Qiao Yuxian stayed at the hospital with Wen Mingcheng for seven days.
Until his condition stabilized, while he hadn’t awoken, he could be transferred to a regular hospital room.
Only then did she feel reassured enough to follow Gu Yanjing back.
On the way back, Qiao Yuxian leaned against Gu Yanjing and fell asleep.
Shang Chen drove up front, glancing back through the rearview mirror.
Retracting his gaze, he looked forward again, slightly furrowing his brow.
On the day Wen Mingcheng had trouble, his people were coincidentally at Qiang’an Mountain.
A conflict also broke out at Qiang’an Mountain.
For those seven days, Shang Chen repeatedly questioned the people who’d been to Qiang’an Mountain, over and over.
That day there were at least five factions clashing there.
A fight over a batch of goods.
Many people, it was unclear exactly which forces were present, anyway, they fought together.
D Continent is a place with various forces, known and unknown, emerging and temporary, countless.
Up until now, among the groups fighting that day, two could not be traced at all, there was no way to investigate.
No idea who they were.
Shang Chen continuously questioned the details from that day.
The fighting was fierce, they held the advantage, apart from them, the other four factions suffered casualties, some possibly severe.
After all, D Continent is a place where one lives on the knife’s edge, life hanging by a thread.
Especially for those smaller factions.
Whether Wen Mingcheng was among them, whether they fought him or some other force did, no one can give a definite answer.
Whether the untraceable two forces were connected to Wen Mingcheng is also unknown.
Everyone covers their faces thoroughly, identifying friends and foes through clothing.
Once the fight ended and the goods were snatched, they left.
Why Wen Mingcheng was alone at Qiang’an Mountain, why the others were cleared out, they still don’t know.
Investigations over the past few days showed that only during that time was there conflict, the rest of the day there was quiet.
Over those seven days, no useful information was found.
Other than the substantial suspicion that they may have caused Wen Mingcheng’s condition, there was nothing.
The information available even pointed towards them.
After all, their force was large, many people, mostly it was them fighting. Towards the end, the other factions almost united against them.
Wen Mingcheng still hasn’t woken up.
If they were truly the ones who hurt Wen Mingcheng...
This matter might...
Shang Chen thought about this, involuntarily glancing back through the rearview mirror once again.
He saw Mr. Gu holding Qiao Yuxian’s hand, with his other hand gently supporting her head to keep it steady.
He became even more worried.
