A few days later, Nangong Jue suddenly received news that Pang Yu had suddenly died at home. Hearing this, Nangong Jue immediately rushed towards the Pang Mansion. At the same time, he ordered someone to inform Mo Yunfei that something had happened within the camp.

The guard who had surrounded Pang General's Estate so tightly that not even a drop of water could trickle through, immediately opened up a path when he saw Nangong Jue come.

Thunder followed Nangong Jue and walked towards the room where Pang Yu's body was. As they walked, they reported to Nangong Jue about what had happened.

”My lord, the discovery of General Pang's death was made this morning when a maidservant went to serve General Pang when he woke up. When the people in this manor wanted to report this matter, they were discovered by our people. This subordinate immediately brought some people to seal this place off!

”Yes.” Hearing that, Nangong Jue's footsteps sped up even more.

After the time it took to brew a cup of tea, Nangong Jue finally arrived at the room where Pang Yu died.

Nangong Jue walked in through the door and looked around.

As soon as he entered, he saw a round table right in front of him. Pang Yu's corpse was lying on top of that round table with both hands around his neck. There was a trace of blood on the corner of his mouth and his expression was twisted as if he was in extreme pain.

In the middle of the round table was a teapot, and beside the teapot was a letter. On the ground, not too far away from where Pang Yu was sitting, was a broken teacup. There was even some water splashing around the teacup.

Nangong Jue stood next to Pang Yu's corpse and looked around. He didn't find any traces of a fight in the room, and he didn't find anything strange around Pang Yu's body either.

Was it really suicide? Nangong Jue frowned. His almond-shaped eyes slightly narrowed as if he was confused.

Speaking of which, they didn't show any suspicion towards him and had only sent people to spy on him. Could it be that he had sensed something? Did he commit suicide because he knew that he had been implicated and that his collusion with the Huns had been exposed?

Just when Nangong Jue was thinking about all of these possibilities, he heard hurried footsteps. He raised his head and saw a white figure pouncing towards him.

”Hey, Nangong Jue, what's going on?” Mo Yunfei aimed directly at Nangong Jue and jumped into his arms.

Nangong Jue reached out his hand to catch Mo Yunfei.

”You should examine the body first to see the cause of death.” When Nangong Jue saw Mo Yunfei's breathless appearance, he immediately reached out his hand to stroke Mo Yunfei's back to ease his breathing.

Mo Yunfei was enjoying Nangong Jue's services, but when Nangong Jue told him to examine the corpse, Mo Yunfei's face immediately turned pale.

Damn it, I'm not a coroner, I'm a healer, I'm not here to help the dead find the cause of death. Mo Yunfei glared at Nangong Jue in anger and dissatisfaction: ”Hey, who did you let to check the body?”

”If it was anyone else, This King would not be at ease.” When Nangong Jue saw this, he immediately changed his way of speaking and said gently. Then he stroked Mo Yunfei's hair, comforting him, ”Go and help him look. If it were anyone else, This King would not have been able to find the cause of death.”

”Mhmm …” Hearing that, Mo Yunfei's expression eased up a bit.
