After traveling through time, the four best friends were all targeted by the boss

"Gu Ling!?" Sun Qing was shocked. How could Gu Ling appear here and infiltrate his group?

He turned back slowly and met a pair of dark and cold eyes.

He had seen Gu Ling's portrait, and he didn't look like this.

Sun Qing laughed out loud, but he was still nervous in his heart: "Haha, you said you are Gu Ling, but Gu Ling doesn't look like this at all!"

Meng Yin felt both angry and amused: "You idiot, Gu Ling is good at disguise, everyone in the martial arts world knows it!"

Sun Qing was stunned. How could he have forgotten about this?

As if to verify that what Meng Yin said was right, Gu Ling tore off the skin on his face, revealing the handsome and gloomy face underneath. He stretched out his hand, waved it in front of Sun Qing with a sense of mischief, and then threw it to the ground.

When Meng Yin saw the horrifying human skin mask on the ground, she was not afraid. Instead, she felt relaxed. She looked back with some mist in her eyes and a pale face, looking very pitiful.

Gu Ling glanced at her out of the corner of his eye and couldn't help but frown. He exerted a little force with his hand and the tip of the knife stabbed into Sun Qing's flesh.

"Let her go." Gu Ling said in a deep voice, with a hint of murderous intent in his tone.

When the men in black around saw Sun Qing being threatened, they didn't know what to do for a moment.

"Hmph, Gu Ling, why don't you take a look at the current situation!" Sun Qing endured the pain and did not cry out. Relying on the hostages in his hands and a dozen or so subordinates who knew martial arts, his confidence was not lost.

"What's the situation?" A gentle male voice came from the roof, followed by a thin needle, which directly hit Sun Qing's arm holding the sword.

He stood on the roof, his long gown fluttering in the wind, his figure standing upright like a pine tree.

Gu Ling immediately thrust the dagger into Sun Qing's back and kicked him to the ground. While he was still screaming in pain, he stretched out his long arms and pulled Meng Yin to his side.

The men in black behind Gu Ling rushed towards him with swords drawn. He drew out his sword and stood in front of Meng Yin.

Seeing that he was doing it with ease, Meng Yin didn't sit idle either. She picked up a stone on the ground and threw it at them.

Gu Ling was stunned for a moment, and a smile unconsciously appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Xiahou Yu and Yiqing also fought with the men in black around them.

Xu Zheng looked at the man on the roof, it was Pei Xuanxi. She breathed a sigh of relief, raised her leg and kicked the man in black who was rushing towards her.

Pei Xuanxi flew down, followed by several men in plain clothes.

In the courtyard, there was a burst of ping-pong sounds of weapons clashing. Xiahou Yu and his companions were very skilled in martial arts, so even if they were protecting Xia Nian and the others, it was effortless for them to deal with the situation.

Seeing that the situation was hopeless, Sun Qing bit his tongue and suddenly picked up the crossbow from the black-clad man who had fallen to the ground next to him. He casually aimed at Xu Zheng in front of him, who was just breaking the ribs of a black-clad man with a single punch.

Sun Qing's eyes were red, and he was thinking about hitting one person to distract their attention and then taking the opportunity to escape.

With a whoosh, the crossbow arrow flew towards Xu Zheng at an extremely fast speed.

"A Zheng!" Meng Yin heard the voice and turned around, just in time to see the arrow flying towards Xu Zheng at high speed, and screamed in surprise.

Before Xu Zheng could react, a white figure hugged her shoulders and she fell to the ground.

She only smelled a soft scent of laundry soap, followed by a strong smell of blood.

"Pei Xuanxi!" Xu Zheng quickly sat up. Pei Xuanxi fell in front of her. The white cloth on his shoulders turned scarlet at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Xu Zheng looked closely and saw that the crossbow arrow hit his shoulder.

"Idiot, why didn't you push me away?" Xu Zheng was anxious and angry. She couldn't help but blame him, but her expression was full of worry.

Pei Xuanxi shook his head, barely propped himself up, and said with an unsteady breath: "I don't want to see you get hurt."

"What?" Xu Zheng didn't hear clearly. She looked up and wanted to call for help, but Tao Tao had already rushed over.

"The wound is very deep and we must stop the bleeding quickly." Tao Tao said anxiously.

A mist appeared in Xu Zheng's eyes. She picked up Pei Xuanxi, who was much taller than her, and rushed to the inner room with Tao Tao.

Meng Yin immediately saw Sun Qing struggling to stand up. She ran forward and kicked him on the back where he was stabbed. Sun Qing fell to the ground, screaming in pain.

Xiao Xian came over immediately and held him down.

Xiahou Yu and his men also took care of them all and imprisoned them in the dungeon.

Before going in, Gu Ling specifically reminded him not to let Sun Qing die.

Tao Tao and the doctor were treating Pei Xuanxi's wounds inside, while several people were sitting in the yard outside.

"So all this is your plan? To force out the person behind this?" Xia Nian asked.

Xiahou Yu shook his head. "Gu Ling had already received news that they would come tonight, but he didn't expect that they would kidnap Miss Meng."

"Fortunately, we caught them in the end," said Yiqing.

"What is the identity of the one who kidnapped Yinyin?" Xia Nian asked, "What is his relationship with He Fu?"

Xia Houyu explained: "Miss Xia, your previous guess was correct. Those murders were committed by two different people. One was He Fu, and the other was the notorious thief Sun Qing."

"A notorious bandit!" Xia Nian asked in surprise, suddenly remembering the news that she and Meng Yin had heard before.

Originally, the murderer targeted wealthy people, but later he changed his targets. I guess the first perpetrator was Sun Qing, and the later perpetrator was He Fu.

"No wonder. After the murder at Yihuanyuan last time, I felt that Mr. He was deliberately leading you to investigate the Gu family in order to sow discord between you." Xia Nian pondered.

"I'm sure there is someone behind them, otherwise they would never be able to make that kind of poison." Gu Ling suddenly spoke.

"When you were lurking around that guy, didn't he go looking for that person?" Yi Qing asked.

Gu Ling shook his head.

"It seems that this person is very cautious." Xia Nian rubbed his eyebrows. Fortunately, the murderer was caught, but Pei Xuanxi was injured while protecting Xu Zheng.

Xia Nian looked at Meng Yin and put one hand on hers: "Yin Yin, are you feeling uncomfortable?"

She had just been held hostage and threatened for so long, she must be exhausted.

"I'm fine, just a little emotional." Meng Yin smiled and said.

"what happened?"

"I feel like I really have a physique that causes disasters. All kinds of bad things always happen to me." Meng Yin said half-jokingly.

Gu Ling leaned against the pillar and glanced at her. Meng Yin's face was still a little pale, and now she was smiling like this, and he actually felt a little distressed in his heart.

Gu Ling lowered his eyes. When Sun Qing put the sword against her neck just now, he felt a strong sense of brutality in his heart. He almost couldn't control himself and stabbed Sun Qing with the knife. Especially when Meng Yin looked back at him, he wanted to tear Sun Qing to pieces even more.

Why is this? Gu Ling didn't quite understand.

"Let's go to the temple in a few days to pray for peace and blessings." Xia Nian said, feeling very distressed.

"Okay!" Meng Yin nodded.

After a while, Xiao Xian came to tell them that Sun Qing and He Fu confessed.

Just as they thought, it was Sun Qing who took action against those wealthy families in front, and then He Fu found him later and the two joined forces.

During this period, Pei Xuanxi came to Ziyang City and found out some clues. The two were worried that they would be found out, so they came up with a plan. They estimated when Xiahou Yu entered Ziyang City, stopped him on the avenue with a fake search warrant, and said that the murderer was a girl to mislead their thinking and the direction of the investigation.

After hearing this, Xia Nian immediately felt something was wrong. She stood up and shook her head: "No, this statement is full of loopholes. How did he know that Master Xiahou would come to Ziyang City? Why did he want to sow discord between Master Gu and you? There must be something else they didn't say."

"And Chunxue, they just want to use Chunxue's death to make you suspect Gu Ling. Where did they get the poison? There must be a demon behind them directing them." Meng Yin said immediately.

Xiahou Yu nodded: "Yes, maybe the person behind them is the one who designed all this, but they don't know where that person is."

Gu Ling thought of someone. He raised his head and said, "I roughly guessed who that person is."

Several people looked at him, and he looked at Meng Yin.

Meng Yin clapped her hands: "Oh! Is he the one who poisoned Pan Chunyue last time? When I went to provoke her, I heard Pan Guang mention it. I think his last name is Han?"

Gu Ling didn't expect her to react so quickly. He curled the corners of his lips and said, "That's right."
