Gong Pan shook his head He sighed and said, “I only have my own dullness and lack of aptitude to blaet revenge for these brothers rongfully died”
When he saw the htly, and how his entire body was shaking a bit as he spoke, Zu An thought to hi skills are out of this world He coughed lightly and reings located?”
Gong Pan thus woke up from his daze He took out six pouches from some drawers and said, “The items are stored inside They were all unfortunate souls who did not leave behind too s”
Zu An walked over and opened the six pouches one by one These were the belongings of the six deceased guards His attention naturally focused on Chen Zhou’s belongings He chatted leisurely with Gong Pan while secretly exas in Chen Zhou’s pack Inside were a scorched personal blade, a waist token, a fingernail file, a slightly shriveled canteen, a badly burned book, as well as a few books that were still intact
“What is this?” Zu An noticed that the other people’s belongings all had the sah it
“That is souards have Recorded in them are their daily patrols and ht just disappear from this world one day To so Pan explained
Zu An felt relieved The E Books These books recorded their master’s identity, their most recent s That way, even if individual Embroidered Envoys perished, the others could still find various clues through those things
His eyes landed on Chen Zhou’s reht to himself that most of the booklet had probably been burned up in the warehouse, and the others were found and brought out by Gong Pan from his hos in front of Gong Pan, so he said, “General Gong, I want to bring these things back in order to exa Pan looked a bit hesitant
Zu An asked with a s not trust me? I represent the imperial court, and I don’t have any relationshi+p with the various factions of Cloudcenter Co Pan immediately bowed and said, “Sir Zu speaks too forht to do However, I need Sir Zu to sign a borrowing form”
“That isn’t an issue” Zu An knew that was a formality of the court, so he naturally wouldn’t refuse
…
Zu An returned to his te cas Zu An noticed that oods Soon afterward, their attention landed on the booklets
The book that had been burned looked as if it ently flipped through it, the feords that could still be read were pretty less
Furtherht not even be the real Chen Zhou, so the booklet was probably fake too As such, they both began to look through the books that had been taken from Chen Zhou’s hos of his patrols and stationed locations over the years; there wasn’t any useful infor Hong’s brow furrowed slightly; he was clearly a bit unwilling to just give up
“This was so valuable, wouldn’t it already have been erased by Gong Pan or the true mastermind behind the scenes?” Zu An replied in consolation
“Ah Zu, you visited the Yu clan again today Do you think Yu Yanluo and that Gong Panasked
“It’s hard to say” Zu An thought back to the things that had happened earlier with Yu Yanluo and Gong Pan He becaone to just sound things out, yet in the end, he had mysteriously started a business If she really was the truepulled onto her pirate shi+p?
After so couldn't help but warn him, “There is definitely more to that woman than meets the eye So many people have knelt down before her for her favor, and even his majesty in the past… Heh, you should not think of her like those young ladies you have met before Do not act on impulse just because she is pretty”
Zu An’s face darkened He replied, “Respected uncle is worrying too ment”
At the same time, he was curious He couldn't be more familiar with the current eirl, how could he let the other party refuse hientle and timid; she didn’t look like a cultivator at all She had no power to resist at all
Sang Hong wanted to say so suddenly returned He ie of exaoes the investigation?”
Gao Ying replied, “Chen Zhou was a rather reclusive person He didn’t have ues that he seeun to ser and happier than before recently”
“Happier?” Zu An and Sang Hong looked at each other in dismay In their opinion, that should have been when Chen Zhou discovered the truth of Cloudcenter Duke’s disappearance Shouldn’t he have been alare as well, so I asked his colleagues about it” Gao Ying also looked troubled “According to what they were saying, Chen Zhou’s only trouble seemed to be that he had some financial issues, so he actually asked to borrowsoues should not be a proble replied, “The uards, so their salary and bonuses shouldn’t be lacking Othersand pleasure, but Chen Zhou was always frugal in his spending In theory, such a thing shouldn’t have happened”
The rooht over the clues ‘Ser’, ‘financial issues’ Those key words see closer and closer to soure it out
Suddenly, the door was pushed open Pei You walked over while ress from Jasper Lane’s side,” Zu An said in amusement
“I don’t even want to talk about it” Pei You’s expression immediately sank His hand reached up to his h Then, he ran over to the fireplace for so, “Jasper Lane isn’t even open yet”
He had gotten all excited when he heard he could go to the pleasure quarters on a public assignment That hy he had been so impatient to rush to Jasper Lane Unfortunately, places like Jasper Lane usually only operated at night After all, the girls needed to rest after working all night
As a self-proclaimed connoisseur of the pleasure quarters, Pei You naturally understood that He had thought to hio later in the afternoon
But ould’ve thought that even as he waited and waited, Jasper Lane had still never opened? In the end, he finally couldn't take the cold and went out to ask around He had found out that it was still too early
