“So, I suspect that the people from the Gu family might have found out Meng Yu’s location and leaked it to Chen Hai, and later anonymously informed my mother and grandmother that Meng Yu would be attacked on the island. Then, they could use my mother and grandmother’s hatred for Meng Yu to increase the success rate of the attack,” Guan Lei concluded.
Li Zhe frowned when he heard about the Gu family. Even after ten years, they still had no way to deal with them, the main culprit. Moreover, if the Gu family had taken action, it meant that Meng Yu’s hand might have already reached some of the Gu family’s industries, touching their interests.
“Of course, this is just my guess because if that’s the case, there is another point that I cannot explain, which is that among the people who attacked Meng Yu this time, there were people from the Guan family. They were trained by the Guan family, and I saw those moves that day. They were too familiar,” Guan Lei sighed, looking rather irritable.
“And…,” Guan Lei paused before continuing, “if it were the Gu family who wanted to kill Meng Yu, they wouldn’t have given orders to those people not to harm the both of us, right?”
“Could it be that those people from the Guan family went out to seek refuge with the Gu family? But considering the Guan Family’s nurturing, they couldn’t bear to hurt you and me?” Li Zhe suggested.
Guan Lei shook his head, “I’ve looked into the people who have left the Guan family in recent years, and they were all people who had dealt with the Gu family before. That means either they were planted as spies by the Gu family from the beginning, or even if they later defected to the Gu family, they wouldn’t have earned the Gu family’s trust.”
“Therefore, there’s still an unknown mastermind behind the targeting of Meng Yu. This person has no ill intentions towards you and me, and may even have some connections with us. So, it should be someone we know,” Li Zhe said.
Guan Lei nodded, but no matter how hard he thought, he couldn’t figure out who that person was. This very person seemed to be extremely cautious, leaving no traces to follow.
With the investigation up to this point, other than Chen Hai, who was just a small fry, the clues of the mastermind had already been cut off. All that was left was deduction and speculation.
“Looks like I still have to find Chen Hai. Maybe I can get some clues from him.” Li Zhe said as he looked at the information.
Guan Lei nodded in agreement.
“What about the person who attacked you?” At this point, Li Zhe asked, pointing to the information, then widened his eyes and asked incredulously, “The Guan family?”
Guan Lei chuckled and sneered, “I didn’t expect that my own family would hire assassins to kill me. It’s really unexpected. But come to think ot it, what I look like is best known by those around me, right?”
“Have you found out who it is? Or… is it the idea of your second uncle’s family?” Li Zhe flipped through the information and didn’t see the final conclusion. However, when he saw the investigation results of the birthday banquet attack in Beijing, his eyes instantly widened again, “The two attacks weren’t carried out by the same person?”
Guan Lei smiled without saying anything, only nodding to acknowledge that Li Zhe was right.
To be honest, when Guan Lei saw the investigation results, he was also very surprised. He had always agreed with Li Zhe’s statement that someone wanted to harm him, and they attacked him from two directions because they were not sure if the real him was in Beijing or on the island.
“So, the attack on you on the island was related to your grandfather’s family. They hired assassins to kill you. And the attack in Beijing may be related to the person who killed your brother ten years ago. That is, the Gu family?” Li Zhe analyzed.
Guan Lei nodded and said, “Yes, my grandfather’s family may have known about what happened on the island, but they don’t know who did it. It seems that I need to find a chance to investigate the Assassin’s Alliance. Maybe I can follow the network to find that person.”
Li Zhe shook his head and sighed. He felt that the situation was getting more and more dangerous…
“I’ll return to Rong City tomorrow. If there’s any progress in the investigation, I’ll send you an update then,” Guan Lei said.
Li Zhe pointed to Guan Lei’s leg with concern and said, “Your leg isn’t fully healed yet. Why don’t you rest a bit longer before going back?”
Guan Lei looked at Li Zhe and teased, “I don’t want to see anything that I shouldn’t see here. It’s too much for my eyes.”
Li Zhe instantly understood the meaning behind Guan Lei’s words and turned his head away awkwardly.
“Did you confess to Meng Yu?” Guan Lei’s curiosity was piqued.
Li Zhe nodded and said bitterly, “After you sent those bikini girls over that day, I was forced to confess. It’s all because of you that we had to have such intimate contact. If it weren’t for you, things wouldn’t be so awkward between us now..”
