My elder sister is so noble, this time it's my turn to strike back

When Ge Wanjin heard his attendant's words, his shrewd eyes narrowed suddenly and he asked, "What do you mean?"

The follower A Kuan has followed Ge Wanjin on many trips around the country for many years and has very rich experience. Just now, when the white cloth on Ge Wanglong's face was removed, he happened to discover the wound on Ge Wanglong's neck.

"I beg the Master's permission to examine the eldest young master's injuries again."

Ge Wanjin also realized something, and hurriedly squatted down and lifted the white cloth covering the corpse again.

A closer look revealed that Ge Wanglong was probably severely frightened when he died. His eyes were still open and his mouth was slightly open, as if he died with his eyes open.

In particular, there was a wound about one foot long on his neck. The cut looked very even and neat, which showed that the assassin must have very good skills. He must have been a person who held a sword all year round.

Ah Kuan then began to analyze it seriously, "Master, look, the eldest son looked shocked. It's obvious that he was frightened before his death, and his throat was cut by someone. But his head was slightly tilted, and his eyes were even looking to the side, which means he was trying to turn his head and look behind him.

As the two gentlemen said just now, the assassin was only after money. But look, sir, the jade pendant on the eldest son is of high quality, and it should be worth a lot of money. Why didn't the assassin take it away, but only took the purse?

"Besides, I've heard that the Anxiang Tower is the most expensive brothel in the capital, a den of money-spending. The eldest son used all his money to buy the courtesan, so logically he shouldn't have much left. So why didn't the assassin kill the courtesan, but instead went after the young master, who had very little money?"

After Ah Kuan's analysis, Ge Wanjin finally realized that this matter was indeed weird in every way.

And the reactions of Zhao Ping and the others just now, I can’t explain why, but I always feel like something is not right.

This is the most acute intuition as a businessman.

Ge Wanjin's intuition told him that this matter must be no simple matter.

"Are you saying there's something else behind Long'er's death? Or even that those two officers just now were suspicious?"

Ah Kuan paused for a moment and said, "Although I cannot guarantee anything, my intuition tells me that there may be something else going on. Master, I am willing to go to Anxiang Tower right now to investigate the matter concerning the eldest young master."

Ge Wanjin clenched his fists, veins bulging on his hands from exerting so much force, and finally said, "I'll go with you."

He wanted to investigate personally to find out who was so blind as to make the Ge family extinct.

Just as Ge Wanjin and his group were about to go out, an uninvited guest suddenly came outside the door.

"No need to go. You won't find anything even if you go. Anxianglou has been cleaned up a long time ago. There was no one around when the incident happened."

The person who came was Wan Zilang.

I saw him just getting off a carriage. It seemed that his lumbar spine was uncomfortable after sitting for too long, and he stretched in public.

"Who are you? Why do you know so much about the Ge family?"

Ah Kuan was the first to speak, and everyone looked at Wan Zilang warily, trying to guess his identity.

Wan Zilang, however, looked nonchalant. He waved the fan in his hand and said, "You don't need to know who I am. If you really want to ask, just call me Lei Feng."

"Lei Feng?"

Everyone in the Ge family couldn't help but search their minds for memories of this name, but they found that they had never heard of such a person in the capital, including in all their years of doing business.

Wan Zilang also heard this name from Qiu Ning. He found it very novel and remembered it.

This time I feel that using this name to do some good deeds seems to be a good idea.

At this time, the servant beside Wan Zilang stepped forward and said on his behalf: "Please don't misunderstand me, my young master is not a bad person. I came here to help you."

Ge Wanjin remembered that he still had to go to Anxianglou to investigate, so he said, "I'm really sorry, but I have something important to attend to at home today. I'll invite you to have tea another day."

When Ge Wanjin and his group were about to leave the gate, Wan Zilang suddenly asked, "Are we going to investigate your son's death?"

Ge Wanjin suddenly stopped, turned around, and stared at Wan Zilang with a vigilant look.

"How did you know that something happened to my son?"

Wan Zilang closed his fan and said seriously, "It just so happens that this is exactly why I came here today.

Are you sure you want to ask me at the gate?"

……

A quarter of an hour later, the Ge family arrived at the living room.

After the maid served tea, all the servants were dismissed, and only the Ge family and their confidants were left in the hall.

Seeing that Wan Zilang had almost finished his tea, Ge Wanjin asked, "What exactly happened to my son? Can you tell me now?"

"Okay, okay." Wan Zilang stared at the servant Ah Cai. Ah Cai understood and said to Ge Wanglong and others:

"My son is the younger brother of the current Consort Wan. I came here because I couldn't bear to see you all suffer the loss of your loved ones without knowing why, and being kept in the dark. I might even be exploited by someone with ulterior motives in the future, so I came here to give you some advice."

As Ah Cai finished speaking, everyone in the Ge family in the room opened their eyes wide and stared at Wan Zilang without blinking, as if thinking, the Ge family and the Wan family have never had any dealings with each other, so given Wan Zilang's noble status, how could he meddle in such trivial matters?

Besides, everyone had heard a little about Wan Zilang. They heard that this man was very arrogant and domineering, and was the number one figure in the circle of playboys in the capital.

Why would he suddenly be so kind as to tell them the so-called 'truth'?

This is hard to believe.

Wan Zilang glanced at everyone's expressions and knew what they were thinking, so he took the initiative to answer:

"As for me, I may have been idle and had nothing to do in the past, but I have a habit of standing up for the weak, especially for those I dislike. As the saying goes, the enemy of my enemy is my friend. You should be thankful that the person I offended this time happened to be my enemy."

After hearing this, Ge Wanjin's doubts were mostly gone.

Although Wan Zilang was a scoundrel, he was truly righteous, but he was also petty and known for holding grudges. It was said that the young masters who hung out with him all recognized him as the boss.

Anyone who offends him almost never has a good ending.

"So it's Master Wan. Nice to meet you. I just don't know who the enemy you're talking about is? And why are you targeting my Long'er and taking such a ruthless action?

Please tell me everything you know. I, Ge Wanjin, promise to thank you."

Ge Wanjin suddenly stood up from his chair, clasped his hands together, and looked at Wan Zilang eagerly.

Wan Zilang also returned the greeting and said sternly, "The murderer of your son is none other than that lickspittle general, Guo Yian!"

As Wan Zilang finished speaking, silence fell again.
