Chapter 1374: Chapter 1375: Gu Yelin’s Purpose (2)
"Hmm, I’ll stay with you until the investigation is over."
Gu Yelin cupped An Yiqing’s small face in his hands, his deep black eyes gazing into hers with warmth. He occasionally planted gentle kisses on her forehead, the corners of her eyes, and her red lips, treating her with the tenderness of handling a delicate baby, his eyes filled with affection for her.
"I know everything that happened a while ago, Tutu, you’ve been wronged."
An Yiqing shook her head and smiled lightly, her voice soft and gentle: "I haven’t been wronged at all, everything is within my plan. Whoever owes me will pay me back sooner or later."
"From now on, you mustn’t do anything so dangerous. Xuanqing Sect is full of desperados, Long Zaitian and Shao Xing might act recklessly at any moment." What Gu Yelin hadn’t told An Yiqing was that when he received the news about her brake failure leading to an accident, he nearly suffocated. If he hadn’t considered that An Yiqing needed to use the Xuanqing Sect to establish herself in Jinyin City, he would have dismembered Xuanqing Sect and the Shao Brothers long ago.
Of course, even though he didn’t do that, he did a lot of manipulations with the evidence regarding Xuanqing Sect that An Yiqing had sent through Zhao Zhenxing.
"So that’s how it is, no wonder the bigwigs issued such a stringent order for the investigation so quickly. I thought it was because they couldn’t tolerate Xuanqing Sect any longer and got angry." An Yiqing couldn’t help but sigh.
"You’re right, the bigwigs indeed couldn’t tolerate Xuanqing Sect anymore. Over the years, Xuanqing Sect has been domineering in Jinyin City, covering the sky with one hand, blatantly defying the higher-ups repeatedly. Many people have long been dissatisfied with Xuanqing Sect. By handing over the evidence you gave them this time, you provided the bigwigs with the excuse to clean up Xuanqing Sect. What I did was just to play a supplementary role, adding fuel to the fire."
An Yiqing blinked and let out a soft laugh. Even though Gu Yelin downplayed his own role by saying he didn’t do much, An Yiqing knew very well that the evidence he uncovered couldn’t possibly be merely supplementary. He must have discovered something about Xuanqing Sect that made the higher-ups wary.
"For the next few days, stay at my place. I’ll make sure you eat properly every day, you’ve lost so much weight."
Not planning to discuss business any further, An Yiqing touched Gu Yelin’s handsome face with concern, already pondering how to feed him and make him gain some weight.
The next day, the news of the Xuandu City Investigation Team’s arrival in Jinyin City swept through the entire power circle like a whirlwind. All officials in Jinyin City were on edge; those who had illegal dealings with Xuanqing Sect were all in a state of panic.
Yet, as everyone was in such a jittery state, an explosive piece of news suddenly dropped like a bombshell into the waters—
The head of this investigation team had surfaced, and he was none other than Gu Yelin, the third son of the Gu Family, known as the Xuanjin Killer God! Ruthless in his methods, merciless and decisive!
What intrigued everyone even more was his other identity—An Yiqing’s fiancé!
The grudge between An Yiqing and Xuanqing Sect and the Shao Brothers was somewhat known by everyone. At such a sensitive time, for Gu Yelin, as her fiancé, to be able to serve as the head of the investigation team, signifies deep implications. What does this indicate? It shows that even though the bigwigs are aware of the enmity between An Yiqing and Xuanqing Sect, they still agreed to let Gu Yelin serve as this leader, clearly intending to rely on him to crush Xuanqing Sect for good. Likewise, many sharp-minded individuals started distancing themselves from Xuanqing Sect, deciding not to risk cooperating with the thorn in the higher-ups’ side.
Over the next week, Gu Yelin led the investigation team of dozens of people to commence relentless evidence collection and investigation work day and night, ruthlessly ousting five officials within seven days, causing widespread panic; everyone was as wary as a startled bird.
