Chapter 3: This is basically staging an accident!
“Damn it, something happened to Qingheng!”
After chatting with Gu Yu for a while, Mengyao Gu heard the sound of Zha Zha and immediately realized something was wrong.
Mengyao Gu didn’t assume everyone was a bad person, but she also knew that not everyone was a good person.
Especially after Gu Yu’s analysis, Mengyao Gu knew that the Gu family had shaken the foundations of many people in the capital, so it was reasonable for them to send assassins directly.
Mengyao Gu didn’t want to bother with this.
However, if the other party targeted her family, it wouldn’t be something that could be easily resolved.
Not only Gu Yu was protective, but Mengyao Gu was the same.
“Don’t worry, trust Zha Zha’s abilities. Although I named it Zha Zha, it’s not because it’s weak, but just because the sound is similar.”
Seeing Mengyao Gu’s anxious look, Gu Yu quickly tried to persuade her, expressing his strong trust in Zha Zha.
Otherwise, he wouldn’t have asked Gu Qingheng to take Zha Zha to the next room at the beginning.
Gu Yu had already anticipated that someone would follow them when they left the capital gate, so he didn’t let his guard down. Instead, he directly entrusted Zha Zha to Gu Qingheng for protection.
It’s not that he was too lazy to raise a bird.
Really not!
“Even so, we should still go and see quickly!”
“Yes, we still need to deal with the corpses.”
After that, Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu didn’t stay put. They put on their shoes and went to the next room to check the situation.
Actually, even without Zha Zha’s protection, it wouldn’t be difficult for Gu Qingheng to protect himself with his martial arts skills.
Unless the other party hired powerful martial artists as assassins, it would be impossible to kill Gu Qingheng with one blow.
As long as Gu Qingheng delayed the time, he could naturally ask for help from Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu who were staying in the next room.
However, with Zha Zha present, they could solve the problem without asking for help.
When Gu Yu and Mengyao Gu pushed open the door, they saw five men in black lying on the ground at the entrance, piled on top of each other like a stack of playing cards, motionless.
Zha Zha stood proudly at the highest point, looking very smug and annoying.
Gu Yu ignored Zha Zha, turned to look at Gu Qingheng lying on the bed, and after a diagnosis, found that he had been drugged.
Gu Yu didn’t wake him up. Instead, he asked his brother-in-law to continue sleeping, as if he had a good night’s sleep.
“Qingheng was drugged, but he is not seriously injured. Don’t worry.”
“These people are too despicable to use such lowhanded tactics on my brother. They deserve to die.”
After hearing Gu Yu say that he was fine, Mengyao Gu was relieved. Then she angrily kicked the man in black.
However, the men in black, who had already stopped breathing, obviously couldn’t feel the pain.
The moment these men in black entered the room, before they could even make a move, they were already dead.
As for the cause of death…
“These people died of poisoning. Zha Zha, do you still retain the toxicity of the Gu worm?”
“Chirp chirp!”
Gu Yu checked them briefly and found that these people had no external injuries, but they all had distorted and terrified expressions, as if they had died of poisoning.
Seeing this, Gu Yu immediately speculated that it was Zha Zha’s doing that caused these people to die.
When Gu Yu asked this, Zha Zha immediately jumped on the corpses, nodded repeatedly in a way that sought praise, which made Mengyao Gu, who was originally angry, feel much better, thinking that raising such a smart pet was quite good.
However, Gu Yu did not react to Zha Zha’s demeanor. He pondered for a moment, then spoke to Zha Zha.
“How did you poison them? Is it the original poisonous mist?”
Hearing Gu Yu say this, Zha Zha immediately jumped onto the table on the other side, then pecked at a pot of blooming flowers with its beak, and a seven-colored mist emerged from its mouth.
Instantly, the flowers withered and fell.
Mengyao Gu was shocked by such potent toxicity, but Gu Yu nodded with satisfaction.
After Zha Zha evolved, it was much better than the worm that could only fart. Just these skills were very useful.
If he wanted to kill people in the future, he wouldn’t have to do it himself. He could just let Zha Zha breathe out a puff of air and everything would be over.
Convenient, fast, simple, and hassle-free.
“Alright, Mengyao, go back and rest. I’ll take care of these corpses.”
“Mhm, be careful.”
Seeing Zha Zha’s considerable abilities, Mengyao Gu no longer worried. As for how Gu Yu would dispose of the corpses, she didn’t want to ask too many questions.
Because just looking at Gu Yu’s sly smile, she could tell he was plotting something big!
Thinking of this, Mengyao Gu didn’t linger in Gu Qingheng’s room any longer. She went straight back to her own room to rest.
Gu Yu, on the other hand, picked up two men in black and leisurely walked down from the second floor of the inn, looking relaxed as if he were carrying two sacks, completely ignoring the people eating and drinking below.
Gu Yu had been drinking Space Spring Water for many years, so his originally weak body had been greatly transformed. Although he didn’t have innate divine strength like Mengyao Gu, carrying two people was not a problem.
However, the customers who were eating and drinking on the first floor, taking advantage of the night, were no longer calm.
The two men in black, dangling from Gu Yu’s shoulders, even though they were wearing masks, could tell that they were motionless, clearly having gone to the afterlife.
“Guest, what is this you’re doing…”
“Boss, it’s not me saying this! Your inn isn’t safe. Just now, a few men in black broke in trying to kill me, but they all died on their own. It’s really inexplicable! This is basically staging an accident! Look, I’m going to take these men in black to report it to the officials.”
“This… guest, it’s getting late, so you don’t need to trouble the officials. How about we just find a place to bury them?”
“Bury them? What, is your inn a black shop?”
“No, no, how could it be a black shop? I’m just worried that you, the guest, will be exhausted.”
When the innkeeper wiped the sweat from his forehead, he broke out in a cold sweat upon hearing Gu Yu’s intention to report to the officials.
Although these men in black were clearly assassins, if they really reported to the officials, those troublesome bailiffs would come and extort them again.
Moreover, it would affect the inn’s business.
It was all harm and no benefit!
“Is that so… You, the innkeeper, are very good. Then I won’t make things difficult for you. But you must find a carriage now and put all these corpses on it. I have somewhere to go.”
Hearing what the innkeeper said, Gu Yu didn’t insist on reporting to the officials. However, what he said next made everyone present stunned, not knowing what Gu Yu intended to do.
