The best ring

Chapter 1817 Suspected Target

Hearing Wu Fan's words, Zhao Qi was shocked and said, "Could it be those people from the outer courtyard?"

Wu Fan thought for a while, shook his head, and said: "It shouldn't be them. They have no reason to do this. Moreover, if it is really them, after Xiaoqing went to ask for help, they could have delayed their arrival, and Du Dezhong could have made excuses. They didn’t show up, but they all came, and not one of them was missing, which shows that the assassin is not one of them.”

"Who could that be?" Zhao Qi frowned.

"If it's not the people in the outer courtyard, it should be the people in Liuyun City." Wu Fan said: "Especially some of the higher-ups in the city, because only they understand the layout of this mansion."

Speaking of this, Wu Fan suddenly seemed to remember something, frowned slightly, and said: "Speaking of which, the most suspicious person is Yuan Long!"

"Yuan Long? Isn't he a good friend of Du Dezhong? How could he do such a thing?" Zhao Qi asked in shock.

"This does not make sense." Wu Fan said: "Normally, Yuan Long and Du Dezhong have a good relationship, so he shouldn't do this. After all, if something happens to you, Du Dezhong, as the wedding envoy, will definitely not be able to escape. If it is really what Yuan Long did, it would have harmed Du Dezhong."

Wu Fan paused and continued: "But Yuanlong is indeed the most suspicious person. He arranged this residence. He must have a good understanding of the layout here. It is not difficult to avoid those people in the outer courtyard, and , He also understands our arrangements here, and basically knows the room where each of us lives, so he can accurately find your room."

"If you say so, that Yuanlong is indeed very suspicious." Zhao Qi said.

"However, this is just my guess. After all, there is no reason for him to do this." Wu Fan said: "I don't know the specific situation."

Zhao Qi thought for a while, then waved her hand and said, "No matter, I'm so sleepy, I want to take a nap."

With that said, he skillfully got into Wu Fan's arms, curled up like a kitten, and quickly closed his eyes and fell asleep.

Looking at Zhao Qi sleeping in his arms, Wu Fan didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He was still discussing business just now, but in the blink of an eye, Zhao Qi actually fell asleep. He was really worried.

In fact, Zhao Qi was very sleepy after not sleeping all night. In addition, he was a little frightened before, so he naturally needed a good rest at this time. Moreover, although he was assassinated not long ago, now Wu Fan is back, and Wu Fan is here She felt particularly at ease around her, so the sleepiness naturally became more intense.

Wu Fan gently picked up Zhao Qi and put him on the bed. He sat on the edge of the bed and looked at Zhao Qi, but in his mind, he was still thinking about what happened before.

"Who could it be?"

Time passed quickly, and the sky outside gradually became brighter. Zhao Qi was sleeping soundly, showing no signs of waking up. Wu Fan didn't care and walked out of the door.

In the hospital, Wu Fan saw Shao Haogang. Seeing Shao Haogang's condition, Wu Fan was slightly stunned and immediately walked over.

"Are you injured again?" Wu Fan said while helping Shao Haogang check his injury.

"Yes." Shao Haogang replied: "I had a fight with that assassin last night. He was very skilled. If those people from the Tianji Kingdom outside hadn't arrived in time, I might have ended up here."

Shao Haogang didn't mention a word about Wu Fan's failure to show up last night.

"Did you see his face clearly?" Wu Fan asked.

"No." Shao Haogang shook his head and said, "He didn't wear a mask, but the light was too dark at the time to see clearly, but I always felt that his figure was somewhat familiar."

"Familiar?" Wu Fan raised his head and looked at Shao Haogang: "Does he look a bit like the Liu Yuncheng guard?"

Shao Haogang frowned slightly and thought for a while, then said, "When you say that, it's true."

Shao Haogang looked at Wu Fan in surprise and said, "Master Wu, do you suspect that the assassin yesterday was General Du's friend? Is he the guard general of Liuyuncheng?"

"It's just suspicion. I don't have any evidence." Wu Fan continued to help Shao Haogang treat his wounds.

"But why would he do this? He and General Du are good friends." Shao Haogang said.

Shao Haogang now has great trust in Wu Fan. Since Wu Fan doubts Yuan Long, then Shao Haogang naturally regards him as a suspect.

"Who knows." Wu Fan had already treated Shao Haogang's wound at this time. In fact, he just re-bandaged it and said, "I will give you some medicine before setting off. It will make you feel better after drinking it."

"Thank you, Mr. Wu."

Shao Haogang now admires Wu Fan's medical skills very much. He was seriously injured before, but after Wu Fan's treatment, not only did he not die, but he also recovered very quickly.

Wu Fan nodded and said, "Don't talk to Du Dezhong about what happened yesterday."

"I understand." Shao Haogang said.

They are getting along quite happily with Du Dezhong now, but if they tell Du Dezhong that they suspect Yuan Long is the murderer last night, then Du Dezhong may have thoughts and opinions on them. After all, they are just strangers. Du Dezhong and Yuan Long are good friends who grew up together. It goes without saying who Du Dezhong will favor.

They are just speculations without evidence. If they say it, Du Dezhong may not believe it. On the contrary, it will freeze the relationship between the two parties.

Just when Wu Fan and Shao Haogang were chatting, Du Dezhong came over from the front yard. When he saw Wu Fan, he said apologetically: "General Wu, I'm sorry about what happened last night. It was our negligence that gave the assassin an opportunity to take advantage of it."

Du Dezhong has been brooding over what happened last night. In his opinion, it was because of his drinking that the defense was relaxed, giving the assassin the opportunity to sneak in. If Shao Haogang hadn't stopped him, Zhao Qi might have encountered an accident last night. Once Zhao Qi had an accident, Du Dezhong couldn't imagine the consequences.

At least his future was completely ruined.

"You are indeed responsible for what happened last night." Wu Fan said lightly: "The assassin easily broke through the defense of the front yard and entered the backyard. Although Her Royal Highness the Princess was fine in the end, I still hope that such things will not happen again in the future."

"Of course, there will never be a next time!" Du Dezhong promised.

This means that Du Dezhong was afraid of Wu Fan, mainly because this was his responsibility. Although Wu Fan and Shao Haogang also had their duties, they actually helped him indirectly. Moreover, this was the territory of their Tianji Kingdom, and he was a senior general of the Tianji Kingdom. As a result, he actually needed Wu Fan and Shao Haogang's help again and again. This was really unacceptable and made him feel very embarrassed.
