297 Whether Or Not to Leave Is My Business
Liu Yi called two more secret guards and brought Nine to the next room.
An hour later, Liu Yi settled Nine and went to the study to report.
“Master, according to your instructions, Young Master Nine has been settled in the residence.” Liu Yi knocked on the door of the study and reported respectfully.
“Come in and talk.” Rong Zhan’s voice came from the study.
Liu Yi pushed the door open and entered. He saw Ji Yan standing in the room at a glance.
“Continue reporting.” Rong Zhan sat steadily in his seat and looked at Ji Yan as he ordered.
Ji Yan nodded. “We did find a corpse in the woods outside Dafu village. If nothing goes wrong, this person is the assassin who came to assassinate Young Master Nine. However, this assassin is a killing machine specially trained by someone. There are no clues on his body that can prove his identity. Even his face has been skinned and disfigured. It’s very difficult to continue investigating. The sneaky person who tried to get close to the courtyard house previously mentioned to the Royal Highness should also be this person.”
“In other words, the assassin that that man provoked is very likely to come to the courtyard house again.”Rong Zhan frowned with extreme dissatisfaction as he spoke.
Ji Yan could not deny Rong Zhan’s words, so he suggested weakly, “Your Royal Highness, if we want to solve this matter, we need to start with the Young Master Nine. Do you think we need to investigate Young Master Nine’s identity?”
Rong Zhan shook his head expressionlessly and said, “I’m not interested in knowing his identity. It’s his own business that he’s being hunted. As long as it doesn’t involve Gu Qingxue’s family, it doesn’t matter who it is.”
Liu Yi understood and finally understood the reason why Rong Zhan let him enter the door and hear these words. “I know how to mention this matter to Young Master Nine. Please rest assured, Your Royal Highness. I’ll leave now.”
Ji Yan was dumbfounded. Seeing Liu Yi leave, he wanted to ask but did not dare to.
What exactly did Liu Yi understand? Why could he not understand it at all?
Rong Zhan did not need to explain this to Ji Yan. He waved his hand and asked him to leave.
Ji Yan was filled with confusion and had no choice but to leave the study.
On this side, Liu Yi carried a basin of hot water and entered Nine’s room.
The decoration in the room was extremely elegant. Nine still maintained the same posture as when Liu Yi left. He sat on the bed motionlessly and turned his face towards the voice.
“Young Master Nine, this subordinate is here to help you wash your face and wipe your hands.” Liu Yi soaked the towel in water and handed it to Nine. “Young Master Nine, after your injuries recover, you can leave Dafu Village.”
“Whether I leave or not is my business.” Nine’s tone was very cold. After wiping his face and hands with the towel, he threw it into the basin not far away.
The towel fell into the basin, splashing water.
Liu Yi did not panic at all, he said to himself, “Recently, our secret guards discovered that someone was secretly investigating the situation in the courtyard. Because the other party was afraid of our existence, they did not investigate the courtyard for a long time. After all, Lady Gu is just a weak woman. Young Master Nine, how confident are you that you can protect Lady Gu’s family? I advise Young Master Nine to leave, not for other reasons, but for the safety of Lady Gu’s family.”
After a moment of silence, Nine said, “You can leave now.”
Liu Yi did not disturb him. He got up and left the room.
Nine sat alone on the bed. He reached out and gently brushed the bandage over his eyes.
He did not want to listen to Rong Zhan, but he had to admit that Rong Zhan was right.
