In Yan Tower, candlelight flickered.

Xianghua carefully bandaged Jiang Jiang's wound. The gauze curtains on the bed blocked Du Mingzhou's view. He paced back and forth in the room, feeling worried.

How could the owner of Yanlou be assassinated late at night?

Is someone going to take action against the Gu family?

This, what if Gu Xiang gets angry...

Du Mingzhou is the cousin of Du Minglu, the Minister of Justice. His Du family has never participated in any party disputes, so his family members are highly valued by His Majesty.

Du Mingzhou himself does not belong to any faction, but when it comes to Gu Yanqing, he still feels unsure.

That’s Prime Minister Gu!

The bloody storm in Yuzhou a while ago was all initiated by Prime Minister Gu. Du Minglu and his men haven't returned from Yuzhou yet. However, Du Mingzhou heard his father mention that this matter is not over yet and there will definitely be more accidents along the way...

Could it be that... the incident at Yanlou this time was revenge from Yuzhou?

"girl."

Du Mingzhou couldn't help himself when he thought of this. He looked up at the bed not far away and slowly spoke through the gauze curtains: "Miss, do you know who attacked you? What are their characteristics? What accent do they have?"

Features? Accent?

Jiang Jiang was startled.

She also didn't know who was the one who secretly framed her this time. If it wasn't the Meng family, could it be the Dongping family?

But the Dongping family and the Meng family are in-laws, and Gu Yanqing hasn’t offended the Dongping family recently, right?

The people who have been offended the most by Gu Yanqing recently should be those in Yuzhou.

It can't really be...

"It's an accent from another place."

Jiang Jiang answered confidently, "It's not the official language of the capital. I don't quite understand what they're saying."

This would make it easier to confuse people, so Jiang Jiang simply answered without hesitation.

He is indeed from another place!

Du Mingzhou now had a clue in his mind: "By the way, girl, do you still remember their physical characteristics? Also, how did you meet them?"

How could she be attacked outside Yanlou in the middle of the night?

There are also doubts here, and Du Mingzhou will not let go of any clues or doubts.

"I... I couldn't sleep at night, and suddenly I remembered that I left something at Yan's House. I thought, since I couldn't sleep anyway, I might as well go back to Yan's House and get the thing back..."

"What is it? Why are you in such a hurry to take it back?" Du Mingzhou interrupted Jiang Jiang and asked coldly.

"It's...a girl's personal belongings. I don't want others to see it."

Jiang Jiang's voice also turned cold. "Why, Master Du, are you doubting me, the victim? No matter why I left home, even if I was secretly meeting with my husband, it has nothing to do with this case, right? Master, you should be more concerned about those assassins."

Du Minglu didn't expect the girl to be so sharp-tongued. He hesitated for a moment and said casually, "Miss, I'm sorry, I just want to make things clear. Can you tell me how you met those assassins?"

"I arrived near Yanlou and saw two sneaky figures from a distance. They were wearing night clothes and were obviously not good people. One of them was slightly taller..."

Jiang Jiang carefully recalled the physical features of the two mysterious men and described them in great detail. Unfortunately, she did not see their faces. Of course, the two men were wearing veils at the time.

Hearing Jiang Jiang speak so carefully and seriously, which didn't seem to be made up, Du Mingzhou dispelled the last bit of doubt in his heart and began to carefully write down what Jiang Jiang said.

"I felt something was wrong at the time and wanted to report it to the police, but unfortunately those two people discovered me."

At this time, Jiang Jiang's voice continued to be heard, and the tone became particularly tense. "They wanted to kill me to silence me, so I got entangled with them. I have learned martial arts, but unfortunately, I just got started and was no match for them. Besides, those two people said a lot of nonsense, and I couldn't understand them. They seemed to be looking for someone? But I don't know anything."

"They're looking for someone?" Du Mingzhou immediately grasped the key point in Jiang Jiang's testimony: "How do you know they're looking for someone? Who are they looking for?"

Or, who were the people they originally wanted to attack?

You don't want to attack Gu Yanhuan, do you?

Du Mingzhou's heart trembled. Was this going to touch Gu Xiang's sore spot?

"Actually, I'm not sure either. But when they cornered me in an alley, they didn't kill me. They just injured me and kept asking questions, but I couldn't understand them. They didn't speak the official language of the capital fluently. I roughly guessed that they seemed to be looking for someone."

Jiang Jiang answered Du Mingzhou's questions very calmly, as if she had really met the two assassins head-on and had a series of exchanges with them.

It has to be said that after playing chess with Gu Yanqing for a long time, Jiang Jiang's acting skills have also improved and become more and more proficient.

In addition, today's incident was obviously caused by Gu Yanqing's enemies. Jiang Jiang believed that with Gu Yanqing's magnanimity, he would never let the mastermind behind the incident go.

Anyway, Jiang Jiang has now put the Gu family and Yan Lou in the position of victims, and it depends on how Gu Yanqing handles the situation next.

This time she took the initiative to play a supporting role, and it depends on how Gu Yanqing will turn defense into offense next.

No matter what, this time, the Gu family was fine and Yan Lou was not implicated. Jiang Jiang felt that although she was a little injured, it was still worth it.

Thinking of this, Jiang Jiang subconsciously looked at the wound that Xianghua had bandaged. This girl from the ancient southern Xinjiang tribe who was woken up in the middle of the night was quite good at treating wounds.

Of course, the most important thing is that the wound caused by the knife in the sleeve is very flat and small. Although a lot of blood was drawn, the wound is actually not big.

Jiang Jiang is not Gu Yanqing, she is not that cruel to herself.

"and after?"

Du Mingzhou had gradually entered Jiang Jiang's rhythm. He stopped when he heard her words and couldn't help but ask another question.

"Later, when they couldn't get any information out of me, they wanted to kill me to silence me. It seemed like someone was passing by at that time, but it was too dark, so I couldn't see clearly. The two assassins finally knocked me unconscious. Before I passed out, I vaguely saw them eagerly chasing after that person. Perhaps... that person was the one they were looking for? Unfortunately, I was already half-conscious at the time... That's all I remember."

After Jiang Jiang finished speaking, he let out a long sigh, as if he was relieved to have survived the ordeal.

Is there anyone else here?

And the two murderers ran after that man?

"Did you see the figure and appearance of that person? Was it a man or a woman?"

When Du Mingzhou heard Jiang Jiang say that there might be another person at the scene, his heart tightened again.

"I was unconscious at the time and I don't know what's going on."

Jiang Jiang answered seriously, but in his heart he was thinking——

Meng Haowen is also dead, so this matter will definitely not be kept secret for long, so we might as well make the situation more confusing.

What if someone finds out something in the future? Jiang Jiang can also insist that the person the two murderers were chasing that night might be Meng Haowen?

Anyway, Meng Haowen was indeed killed by those two murderers, and Jiang Jiang did not lie.

Now, she just needs to put herself in the right position——

She and Meng Haowen are both victims!
