Chapter 712: Clue
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Leng Yan tried her best to open her eyes. She felt that she had a very long dream. In the dream, she had become a vegetable. Although she could hear people’s words, she could not move or think.
It took all her strength to open her eyes.
The first person she saw was Yu Su.
Yu Su walked over and placed her hand on her wrist. “Your body is rather exhausted. Take care of your health in the future and slowly recuperate.”
Leng Yan tried her best to look to the side and was slightly surprised to find Ruan Dong standing beside her.
Then, she came back to her senses and recalled what had happened previously.
The little snake went towards He Jun and bit his wrist too, repeating the same action.
Leng Yan also noticed the little snake sticking out its tongue and could not help but be shocked.
Yu Su explained, “This is my pet. You don’t have to be afraid.”
Leng Yan nodded. “You must have saved me!”
She must have been poisoned very badly.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t have been unconscious for so long.
Yu Su said, “Yes, the main savior is still the little snake. If not for it, you wouldn’t have woken up so quickly. Do you still remember what happened before you fainted?”
Ruan Dong’s eyes flashed. “Someone attacked you.”
Leng Yan frowned and thought carefully.
She had just woken up. Her mind was in a mess, and her memories were incomplete. It would take some time for her memories to return.
After a while, Leng Yan said, “Yes, someone attacked Leng Jun and me. That person was Master Peng of the Daoist Association. Because we found a key clue, we were about to investigate deeper when we fainted.”
The situation at that time was too urgent and they had no time to inform the others in the management office.
“What clues?” Ruan Dong’s face was serious as he turned on the recorder on his chest.
He wanted to record this evidence as important evidence.
“It’s a futon! It’s a futon!” He Jun suddenly sat up from the bed and shouted with difficulty.
After he shouted, he looked around in confusion. The room was white, and there were birds chirping outside the window.
“What is this place? Am I dead?” Then, he saw Yu Su and Ruan Dong.
Ruan Dong smiled. “What futon?”
He Jun was stunned for a moment before he fell back down and closed his eyes.
This commotion shocked Ruan Dong and Leng Yan. Ruan Dong hurriedly asked, “What’s wrong? Are you alright?”
Yu Su walked over unhurriedly and reached out to take He Jun’s pulse. After a moment, she said, “It’s fine. He’s under too much psychological pressure, which caused him to wake up suddenly. Let him rest for a while more.”
FThen, Yu Su took out a stick of calming incense and lit it in the room.
He Jun’s breathing became stable again.
Ruan Dong got someone to move Leng Yan’s bed out, and the three of them went to another room to talk.
Leng Yan continued the topic from before and said slowly, “According to the cattail in He Wan’s hand, we focused on observing the futons in the Daoist Association. We secretly extracted mats from different places and took them to be tested one by one. In the end, we found the same cattail in Master Peng’s residence.”
She paused for a moment and continued, “After we discovered this clue, we were preparing to return. Unexpectedly, an accident happened on the way back.”
Everyone knew what happened after that.
“Are there any other clues?” Yu Su asked.
Leng Yan thought for a moment. “There’s a clue. I’m not very sure. I keep feeling that He Wan’s face is a little similar to Master Peng’s. Both of them have an aquiline nose and there are similarities between their eyebrows.”
She didn’t have any evidence, but she was sure that Master Peng’s identity must be problematic. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been plotted against.
“Also, I feel that Master Peng looks a little familiar, as if I’ve seen him somewhere before. There’s no evidence of this either.” Leng Yan tried her best to recall. “There must be a spy in our Metaphysics Management Office.”
That person must know her and He Jun very well. He knew the moves they were good at and their weaknesses.
“I know. Minister Wang has a close relationship with them,” Ruan Dong said in a low voice.
He could guarantee that Wang Lang must have said something to the Daoist Association.
One day, he would take revenge!
Yu Su continued to ask, “When that person attacked, did you notice anything strange?”
Leng Yan recalled carefully, “That person was wearing a mask. He looked at me as if I was an ant. However, there was indeed a strange place..”
