412 The Mastermind
The disciple was frightened by Master Yang and ran back to his room.
Master Yang wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and carefully answered Jiu Yuan’s question, “My lord, I don’t know Han Shi. However, the blood you mentioned was actually given to me by an old friend of mine. As for how he got it, I-I didn’t have time to ask at that time. If you want to know, I’ll call and ask.”
Master Yang asked tentatively.
Jiu Yuan nodded. “Then ask. It’s best if you can find out who gave you the blood, what his motive is, and who the blood belongs to. You have to ask in detail.”
“Yes, yes, my lord!”
Master Yang wiped his cold sweat again and walked to the landline. He took out a small phone book from his pocket with trembling hands and found the number of an old friend.
“Hello, Old Yang?” An voice came from the other end.
Master Yang asked solemnly, “Old Zhang, tell me honestly, the blood you gave me last time. Who did it belong to?”
Old Zhang was stunned. “What blood?”
Master Yang was as anxious as an ant on a hot pan. He asked anxiously, “The blood I used to perform Blood Guidance Technique. Let me ask you again, whose blood is that?”
Old Zhang fell silent. Master Yang stole a glance at Jiu Yuan, who had a murderous expression on his face. He blinked his eyes and quickly lowered his head. He urged, “Old Zhang, tell me the truth. Otherwise, we’ll both be in trouble.”
The person on the other end of the phone seemed to hear Master Yang’s anxiety and uneasiness. His heart skipped a beat. He thought of the person’s warning and gritted his teeth.
“I don’t know who the person who gave me the blood is, but I know that he’s from the capital. As for who the blood belongs to, I really don’t know. He only handed the blood to me and asked me to find you. He told me not to tell anyone else, or my wife and children will disappear.”
“Old Yang, what happened?” Old Zhang also looked nervous and terrified.
“Don’t ask. It won’t be good for you to know. By the way, have you seen him in person? Do you know his surname or identity?” Master Yang suppressed the anxiety in his heart and continued to ask.
Old Zhang said, “Yes, but that person covered himself from head to toe. I couldn’t tell what he looked like at all. I could only tell that he was a man.”
“Motive? What’s his motive?”
Old Zhang suddenly said seriously, “I don’t know much more than you do. Old Yang, although I don’t know what trouble you’re in, you have to believe me. That person is terrifying, no, very terrifying!”
Outside the door, Qin Xi and Han Shi looked at each other. “Wifey, do you think this person is the mastermind who instructed Ma Peng to plant the axe in my ancestral grave?”
Qin Xi nodded with a solemn expression. “Most likely. Moreover, Ma Peng said that the mastermind is a woman…”
“Looks like I have to go to the capital when I have the chance.”
Han Shi’s heart tightened. He instinctively wanted to refuse, but when he opened his mouth, he did not know what to say.
Qin Xi knew that Han Shi was afraid that once she went to the capital, she would be asked to go back to the Mu family. She smiled and squeezed his big hand. “We’ll go together and come back together.”
Han Shi suddenly relaxed and held her hand tightly. He swore to himself that he had to speed up the process. Although his agreement with Qi Xiong was three years, he had only given himself two years at most.
In two years, he would build a business empire for Qin Xi.
In the house, Master Yang hung up the phone and took a deep breath. “My lord, that’s all he knows…”
Jiu Yuan could tell that he was sincere. He looked at the money bag. “I’ll take this away. Do you have a problem with that?”
