Only an existence like an An Ying assassin could avoid detection by the Dragon Lord.
Soon, brothers Zheng Aimin and Zheng Aiguo rushed over, with Old Zheng following closely behind.
"This..."
When they learned of Zheng Aijia's current condition, the three of them looked at each other speechlessly.
They never expected that even with their meticulously laid plans, there would still be a loophole.
They hurriedly had the doctors in the hospital investigate, but there was nothing else they could do.
As for Lin Xiao, he looked at Zheng Aiguo with a persistent look of distrust in his eyes.
"Lin Xiao, we will definitely find out who did this as soon as possible." Zheng Aiguo, feeling flustered under Lin Xiao's gaze, said hastily.
"Mm."
Lin Xiao asked indifferently, "So, this matter has nothing to do with you?"
"Of course it has nothing to do with me!"
Upon hearing Lin Xiao's question, he immediately replied, "How could I possibly harm my own third brother! Besides, you said you would personally question him when you returned!"
"Yes, yes, Lin Xiao, didn't third brother just finish surgery not long ago? That was when we came to visit, and we didn't even have any contact with third brother," Zheng Aimin chimed in, also in a hurry.
"Mm."
Lin Xiao took a deep breath. Was the clue gone just like that?
The Dragon Lord and Elder Zhou also arrived.
Looking at Zheng Aijia, who had become a vegetative state lying in bed, the Dragon Lord's expression was somber. "How could something like this happen right under my nose."
"This is the Imperial Capital! The Imperial Capital!"
Elder Zhou, angered, repeatedly struck the ground with his cane. He turned to the head of National Security and the Zheng father and sons, "You all! You can't even handle this one matter! Old Zheng! Was this what you guaranteed?!"
Even Old Zheng lowered his head in shame this time. The Commander-in-Chief of the three armies, who usually stood tall when facing the Dragon Lord, and who was considered an old friend, was now admitting his failure. Zheng Jianguo felt he had not done his job well, and had even disgraced the entire Dragon Country.
"Don't blame Old Zheng."
The Dragon Lord comforted Elder Zhou, "Even I didn't discover this. It seems that the implications of this matter are too deep."
Lin Xiao immediately looked at the Dragon Lord. From the Dragon Lord's words, Lin Xiao discovered a key point!
With these words, did the Dragon Lord know who was responsible? Or, did the Dragon Lord know who the most suspected group of people were?
Seeing Lin Xiao's piercing gaze, the Dragon Lord nodded. "Leave the matters here to them. Lin Xiao, come with me."
"Old Zhou, Old Zheng, you stay here. Don't follow."
With that, the two of them left the hospital room and went to a room specially cleared out on the top floor.
"Lin Xiao, ask whatever you want to ask. Speak."
The Dragon Lord motioned for Lin Xiao to sit down. His expression seemed weary.
This was the first time Lin Xiao had felt a sense of powerlessness from the Dragon Lord's words, which made him even more curious. "Dragon Lord, do you know who might have done this?"
"Perhaps I do. The number of people in the entire Dragon Country who could do this right under my nose is very small." The Dragon Lord nodded, looking at Lin Xiao. "And these are people you cannot afford to offend right now."
"In fact, even I cannot."
