My lady, I'm going to rebel.

That night, Mu Zheng, Zheng Chao and Liu Yu handled Qian'er's funeral together, while Gong Wen stayed in the room and did not come out.

Mu Zheng felt very uncomfortable.

He knew that it was he who had implicated the girl and made Gong Wen suffer.

But he was not in a hurry to settle the score with those two people. Firstly, he had no evidence. Secondly, Li Zhong was about to land on the island. No matter who it was, no one would be allowed to cause trouble now. The case might even be suppressed by force.

Mu Zheng stayed awake all night, and at daybreak, Liu Yu came running over in a panic, "Oh no, Brother Mu, Xiao Wenzi has gone looking for Jiang Xiaobai."

Mu Zheng was shocked. He had already ordered everyone to keep an eye on the little mosquito, but he didn't expect that there was still a loophole.

He quickly rushed to Jiang Xiaobai's residence. At this time, Gong Wen had been subdued and controlled in the corner, and the person controlling him was Lin Nan.

Seeing Mu Zheng rushing over, Lin Nan sneered: "So it was you who committed the crime and hurt others."

This is a typical case of the thief crying "stop thief".

Mu Zheng looked at Lin Nan, his eyes flashing with coldness, "Let him go!"

Lin Nan laughed loudly, "Your brother injured my Black Clan people, how can I let him go just because you shout?"

Gong Wenze cursed beside him, "Lin Nan, you will not die well."

As he spoke, he shouted at Mu Zheng, "Brother Mu, this is a trap. When I came here, Jiang Xiaobai was already dead. There are ambushes all around here."

ha?

As soon as Gong Wen finished speaking, many black-clad warriors rushed out from the surroundings.

Seeing this, Mu Zheng instantly understood. Qian'er's death was just a trap, the purpose of which was to lure Mu Zheng and others to seek revenge on Jiang Xiaobai, and then bite back and punish him for his crime.

But they didn't expect that Mu Zheng didn't come.

"Haha. I thought you, Lin Nan, were a man of blood. You went to great lengths to challenge me to a duel, but I didn't expect you to be playing tricks behind my back."

Mu Zheng looked at Lin Nan sarcastically.

Lin Nan sneered, "Mu Zheng, Mu Zheng, how old are you? Do you still believe in blood? What's the point of playing fair? Yes, I wanted to kill you in front of everyone a few days ago, but now it's different. I won't allow any accidents to happen."

Mu Zheng clenched his fist. Lin Nan should be referring to Li Zhong's landing on the island. It seems that he is determined to become Li Lian's bodyguard.

"Hahaha." Mu Zheng laughed loudly towards the sky, not allowing for any accidents. Unfortunately, I am your accident.

He stepped forward quickly, and without waiting for the two guards to react, he kicked one of them over and pulled Gong Wen out.

"Mu Zheng, you are so brave. You openly resisted the clan guards and injured people. Come on, capture him for me."

Lin Nan was excited.

Whether he could capture Mu Zheng or take advantage of the opportunity to inflict a few cuts on him, the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt. "Brother..." Gong Wen regretted his impulsiveness, which had led to Mu Zheng falling into a trap.

Seeing Jiang Dabai hesitate to speak, Mu Zheng pushed him aside and said in a deep voice, "How can a man live in humiliation? Qian'er's death cannot be in vain, and neither can your suffering be in vain."

So what if what happened today affects the competition?

Mu Zheng didn't believe that if he abandoned this road, he would not be able to find other ways to climb the mountain.

Seeing the more than 20 guards surrounding him in an instant, Mu Zheng showed no fear. He was the first to snatch a long sword from someone, moving flexibly to dodge and block the enemy's attacks.

However, these warriors cooperated well with each other and attacked continuously. Despite Mu Zheng's great skills, he still found it difficult.

Suddenly, Lin Nan made a move.

He took advantage of the fact that Mu Zheng was blocked by the crowd and stabbed at him with a long sword.

Mu Zheng was shocked.

He kicked the person beside him with all his might, and then slightly turned sideways to avoid the fierce attack. However, because of this, his right side was lost and his arm was cut.

Seeing Mu Zheng injured, Lin Nan was even more proud. He turned around and made another sideways attack, but at this critical moment, a beautiful figure deflected his sword.

The person who came was Qi Yuxiu!

"what happened?"

When Qi Yuxiu saw the knife wound on Mu Zheng's arm, a trace of anger and heartache flashed in her eyes.

"Gong Wen killed my people, and Mu Zheng bullied my people." Lin Nan wasn't surprised to see Qi Yuxiu appear. After all, the other side had many spies, so what was happening here could only be kept secret for a while.

"You're talking nonsense!" Gong Wen wanted to tear Lin Nan into pieces. He turned to look at Qi Yuxiu and said, "Qian'er is dead."

With just four words, Qi Yuxiu guessed the truth of the matter.

Instantly, a chill ran through her body, but she quickly forced it down.

"Mu Zheng, Lord Li will arrive on the island tomorrow."

The implication is that now is not a good time for the two sides to fight.

How could Mu Zheng not know?

But he couldn't let Lin Nan take Gong Wen away.

Seeing Mu Zheng still holding the knife, Lin Nan said to Qi Yuxiu with embarrassment. "As a clan guard, I have the right to protect the safety of my clan members. If Brother Mu doesn't want to leave, there's nothing I can do."

Qi Yuxiu's eyes flashed with annoyance. "Well, I'll take Gong Wen away. We can discuss anything after Lord Li leaves."

"No!" Lin Nan shouted.

"Hmph!" Qi Yuxiu sneered, "Since Lord Lin is unwilling, then fine. Someone, report this to the clan. This is a murder at the villa, a matter of life and death. Open the ancestral hall and conduct a thorough investigation!"

"Yes!" The people brought by Qi Yuxiu responded.

"Qi Yuxiu, are you crazy?" Lin Nan exclaimed in shock. "Tomorrow is the day when Lord Li Zhong will arrive on the island. Are you opening the ancestral hall now to disgrace our Black Clan?"

More importantly, what would Lord Li Zhong think of him as the Black Clan's number one guard?

"Heh." Qi Yuxiu looked at Lin Nan. "The murder happened in the clan's annex. How can I trust Lord Li to stay there with such an oversight? Besides, Lord Lin was so dedicated, he was still setting up surveillance at the edge of the line late at night. But unfortunately, despite Lord Lin's grand plan and thorough preparations, Jiang Xiaobai still died. This proves that the murderer is cunning and powerful, and this is likely a threat to Master Lian's safety. Do you think I should investigate?"

Lin Nan's face flushed and paled. He hadn't expected Qi Yuxiu to go this far. Once the two murders were thoroughly investigated, regardless of whether the truth would eventually come to light, his title as the top guard would be lost. After all, Qi Yuxiu was right. He had failed in his duty by having two murders committed under his watch.

And what Lord Li is looking for is an extremely competent guard.

Thinking of this, Lin Nan reluctantly put away his sword. "As the chief guard of the Black Clan, it is my responsibility to investigate the case. Please don't alarm the Clan Leader. I will organize a team to conduct a thorough investigation of both cases, and Miss Qi will temporarily detain the suspect, Gong Wen."

Qi Yuxiu felt relieved when she heard this. She looked at Mu Zheng and Gong Wen and said, "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Mu Zheng stood up. "My brother can't be wrongly accused."

"As soon as Gong Wen arrived here, he was captured by the guards on the scene as the murderer. When did he leave the villa, and how long did it take to get here? These can be used to infer whether Gong Wen had time to commit the crime. In addition, what was the cause of Jiang Xiaobai's death, what was the murder weapon, and why is there no blood on my brother's clothes? These are all suspicious points."

"So, I would like to ask Master Lin, how did you determine that Gong Wen was the murderer? If there is no evidence, then Gong Wen should be cleared of all charges. There is no need to hand him over to Miss Qi."

"If you have proof, please produce it. If it's really Gong Wen who did it, I'll hand him over to you right now."

"Have it?"

"No! Then please ask Guard Lin to apologize to Gong Wen!"
