Chapter 567 - Chapter 567: Chapter 573 (2/2)

As Han Yu had worried, the news that he had received a severe injury in the assassination attempt and that his life was at risk spread in the afternoon. The rumors were rampant, and the news had even reached Feng Family Manor. Although the incident had occurred less than half a day ago, Su Wenyue had received the news from Han Yu’s special channels, hence she knew so quickly. The news couldn’t be explained unless someone with a motive was deliberately spreading it.

This area was within Feng Family Manor’s sphere of influence. The first to receive the news was Feng Jianling. Master Feng and Master Su, the father and son, became aware of it immediately afterward, followed by the Zhenbei Marquis and his son.

Upon learning the news, Feng Jianling’s first reaction was to seal it off. Despite his efforts, the purposeful spread of the news by interested parties carried it away like the wind, and he couldn’t contain it.

Feng Jianling immediately sensed something was wrong. Surely, some people had a motive in using this incident to achieve their objectives. And the person most worried about the news would be Han Yu’s wife. While he couldn’t contain the news spreading outside, he placed a gag order on the people of Feng Family Manor, forbidding them from discussing the incident.

Of course, that was still insufficient. Since there were people with such intentions, if they were targeting Su Wenyue and her child, his gag order within Feng Family Manor might not be effective. They would certainly find all possible ways to spread the news to Su Wenyue. Therefore, Feng Jianling immediately called everyone to the Conference Hall to discuss the matter together.

“Regardless of those people’s objectives, our urgent priority right now is to verify the veracity of this message and whether Han Yu has truly met with an accident,” Master Su said gravely, not particularly optimistic in his heart. It had been several days since his son-in-law had left, and he had told him the details before his departure. He had a sense of the situation. In his view, the news was probably true, although it might be exaggerated. His son-in-law getting into danger and being injured were definite.

“It is true. I just received the message,” Su Hengyi said as he entered with a rather quick pace, responding to Master Su.

“Is your Brother-in-law truly injured that severely?” Master Su frowned deeply, worried about the effect on his daughter if her husband’s condition was indeed so serious.

“Perhaps even more so, the Assassin was an expert sent by Zhao Fan for the purpose of assassination, skilled and dangerous. The main target was to take Liu Xiu’s life. If that sword had truly hit its mark, Liu Xiu would probably be dead by now. It was Han Yu who blocked the attack in front of Liu Xiu, taking the blow on his behalf. After that, he fought with the enemy for so long…” Having heard the account of the incident, everyone could imagine the ensuing scenario without Su Hengyi continuing.

“I’ve already intercepted the message and placed a gag order on the people of Feng Family Manor. However, with the outside world spreading it so fiercely, it’s only a matter of time before Miss Yue finds out. Who knows what chaos might occur then!”

“This girl, for Han Yu’s sake, was even willing to jump off such a high cliff. If she finds out something has happened to Han Yu, who knows what she might do. But hiding this from her isn’t a solution either. Sigh!” Master Su heaved a sigh, his brow furrowed with concern. His daughter had just returned a few days ago to live a peaceful life, and now such an incident had occurred.

Everyone present felt a certain sorrow upon hearing Master Su’s words. They dared not think of the consequences once Su Wenyue learned of the matter. No one had any suggestions, nor did anyone consider taking the initiative to tell Su Wenyue about the incident. Just at this moment, from outside…
