After ending his chat with Mu Anan, Zong Zhengyu placed his phone on the table with the screen facing down. He stood up from his seat and walked towards the cloakroom.
The back of his white shirt was already stained with blood.
However, the man in front of the full-length mirror had a cool expression.
He unbuttoned his shirt expressionlessly, button by button, revealing his beautiful muscles that couldn’t be hidden even if wrapped in gauze.
The blood-stained gauze instead increased his masculinity.
He took off his shirt and removed the gauze.
The wounds on his shoulder and waist were bleeding ferociously.
‘Knock, knock’
There was a knock on the cloakroom door. Luo Sen stood respectfully at the door with a first aid kit.
Under Zong Zhengyu’s tacit approval, Luo Sen entered and placed the first aid kit on the table at the side. He then opened it and took out the medicine.
Zong Zhengyu sat down on the bench.
Luo Sen started treating Zong Zhengyu’s wound with the medicine.
He said, “Master, there’s nothing wrong with your wounds. However, you’ve been moving around too much for the past few days, causing the wounds to split again after healing. Now, there’re signs of inflammation.”
Facing Luo Sen’s reminder, Zong Zhengyu just replied impatiently and didn’t say anything else.
Luo Sen glanced at the man in the mirror.
He had followed Seventh Master for many years, so he could naturally capture some of Seventh Master’s emotions. He knew that Seventh Master did not have the patience right then to discuss his wounds.
Luo Sen could only stop that topic and get down to business.
“Seventh Master, we’ve investigated the young masters of the Zong family these few days. The assassins were most likely not these young masters.” Luo Sen reported.
Zong Zhengyu’s injuries were caused by an assassination attempt before he rushed back to the Yuyuan Estate.
The other party had a well-structured organization.
In a complicated family like the Zong family, since Zong Zhengyu was brought up by the Old Master and was the most favored and decisive young master, he was naturally targeted by many people.
Even if Zong Zhengyu lived in Yuyuan Estate permanently, there would still be assassinations.
“Investigate the people around the Old Master.” Zong Zhengyu ordered.
“Yes, sir!” Luo Sen accepted the order as he continued to treat Zong Zhengyu’s wounds.
The gun wound on his shoulder and the knife wound on his lower back had been treated.
“How’s the progress with the Mu family?” Zong Zhengyu asked.
Luo Sen replied respectfully, “We’ve already locked onto three people. They often travel between Liuli City and Jianglan City. There’s also a fourth person…” “Speak!”
“I discovered that Fifth Master has been heading to Jianglan City in recent years.” Luo Sen reported respectfully.
The Fifth Master he was talking about was the one who ranked fifth in the Zong family’s Phecda.
Luo Sen had already finished treating Zong Zhengyu’s wound. He secretly looked at Zong Zhengyu several times. He obviously had something to say.
To put it more accurately, he had something he didn’t dare to say.
Who was Zong Zhengyu? Luo Sen’s actions naturally could not escape his eyes.
Zong Zhengyu didn’t need to say anything more. He only looked at Luo Sen.
Luo Sen immediately lowered his head respectfully, not daring to hide anything.
He said, “Although the three suspects we have locked onto are all of high status in Liuli City, and their corporations are all related to medicine, they have no reason to pretend to be Seventh Master, nor do they dare to.”
“Only Fifth Master has that goal. Fifth Master is familiar with everything about Seventh Master. Moreover, Seventh Master is also in Jianglan City. It’s easier for him to borrow Seventh Master’s identity than the three suspects, and…”
At that point, Luo Sen stole another glance at Zong Zhengyu before saying the last sentence, “Among the few masters in the Zong family, Fifth Master is the most unpredictable. He is obsessed with all kinds of laboratory work, especially in medicine.”
“Fifth Master should be very interested in the Mu family’s research on changing intelligence. Moreover, Fifth Master would do anything for the sake of the experiment.”
When Luo Sen said those words that describe Fifth Master Zong, he held himself back.
The real Fifth Master was obsessed with experiments all day long. He didn’t pay attention to anything outside and only focused on experiments.
Even when the Old Master was seriously ill, he only visited the Old Master once on the pretext that he was currently doing experiments.
After the visit, he was dragged to the masked ball by Zong Zhengyan.
He disappeared in less than 20 minutes.
Since that day, he had been in the laboratory and had never left.
Zong Zhengyu was silent for a while, and then he gave an order, “Send someone to keep an eye on his laboratory. Report immediately if you find any clues.”
“Yes, sir!” Luo Sen accepted the order.
He raised his head and looked at Zong Zhengyu. He opened his mouth but chose to shut it in the end.
He really wanted to ask Zong Zhengyu, if Fifth Master was involved in Mu family’s murder, how would Seventh Master give Miss Anan an explanation?
Luo Sen naturally did not dare to ask such a question.
“There’s one more thing.”
“Speak!”
Zong Zhengyu had already stood up and put on a black velvet shirt from the cloakroom.
Luo Sen said, “The medical team sent by Yuyuan Estate reported that the treatment plan and prescription for Miss Tang Mi’s face reconstruction have been developed. Miss Tang Mi took the prescription and the treatment plan to Italy. The medical team asked if they could return to Yuyuan Estate directly.”
Zong Zhengyu waved his hand, indicating his consent.
Jianglan City.
After Mu Anan ended the call with Zong Zhengyu, she took a while to recover.
Dr. Gu had already sat down on the chair beside Mu Anan.
“Although I’ve already asked you over the phone, I still want to confirm it with you again.” Dr. Gu looked at Mu Anan and said, “Have you really decided to hide this from Seventh Master?”
Mu Anan nodded without hesitation, “I’ve said it before. This storm is targeted at me. I have to handle it myself.”
She also wanted to tell everyone that the little princess of Yuyuan Estate was not someone to be trifled with, not because of Seventh Master’s love, but because she was an existence that no one could provoke!
Dr. Gu nodded. He understood what Mu Anan meant.
“Don’t worry. I’ve already informed Luo Sen. Seventh Master won’t be able to see Jianglan City’s news.”
“More like he doesn’t have time to see it, right?” Mu Anan looked at Dr. Gu and chuckled.
Dr. Gu did not know how to respond to Mu Anan’s question.
Mu Anan said, “He never goes back on his word, even if it’s just a joke. He promised to return in three days, but now he wants to postpone it. That means the matter over there is troublesome, and he needs to continue investigating.”
Dr. Gu did not say anything.
Mu Anan took a deep breath and looked out the window.
From that window, she could see the mental hospital’s entrance.
It was located in the suburbs, plus it was a mental hospital, so it was unlike the downtown hospital, which was overcrowded all year round.
In the mental hospital, other than the start of work and off-work hours or changing shifts, it was very desolate.
Mu Anan did not feel too heavy-hearted when things had come to that.
Because she knew that on the other side of the city, the man she loved the most was also ‘fighting’!
Even though they were in two different cities, Mu Anan could strongly feel that they were fighting side by side, which made her even stronger.
She hoped that he would return ‘triumphantly’ three days later, and she would hug him clean!
At that moment, Mu Anan’s phone vibrated.
Mu Anan lowered her head to take a look. Her expression was cold..
