Chapter 98: Suspects

After helping Mu Mingcheng snack on fruits and some water, she wondered if she should also feed him a bowl of congee. Gu Jin warned herself not to hold the bowl of porridge too close in case she accidentally drops it on him. What would she do if his injuries were exacerbated?

When the bowl of congee was emptied, the doorbell rang once again.

Instead of going to the door, Gu Jin shouted, ”Please come in.”

”Boss.” The driver, Old Liu, came in and nodded towards Gu Jin before facing Mu Mingcheng.

”Did you find out who did it?” Mu Mingcheng glanced coldly at a.s.sistant Fang and asked. It's been a long time since he had suffered a loss this big.

The opposing party concealed their tracks very well, so we weren't able to find out.” Old Liu stood upright and reported dutifully: ”But it's certain that one of them is a professional killer.”

This man didn't behave like an ordinary driver at all.

Gu Jin wasn't surprised. Ever since that day when Old Liu drove her to the Jing Banquet under Mu Mingcheng's arrangements, Gu Jin had already guessed that his ident.i.ty wasn't simple.

He said that he had been working for Mu Mingcheng for five years while Mr. Mu himself had inherited the Mu company only three years ago. For those extra two years, Mu Mingcheng was still making contributions towards the country.

And when Mu Mingcheng was rescued from danger and brought to the hospital, Old Liu asked her many questions about the situation at that time.

His thorough questions and attention to detail are certainly beyond what an ordinary driver would consider. Because he was present during that difficult time, Gu Jin felt a.s.sured about their safety.

But when she heard him report about a professional killer, her heart remained in a state of awe.

If she recalled it correctly, Mu Mingcheng s.h.i.+elded her from the gunshot. Otherwise, the one lying in this hospital bed would have been her.

Or she might have served tea to Yan w.a.n.g yesterday instead.

(T/N: Yan w.a.n.g–Chinese G.o.d of Death)

So someone purposely plotted to a.s.sa.s.sinate her?

This guess caused Gu Jin's feet to turn cold. She had unconsciously created a fierce enemy for herself.

Was it Shao Chong? Cheng Xin? Or perhaps Jing Hao?

No, that's impossible.
