pted by his foster father.It can be said that in the Hong Kong-based Kunpeng Group, besides Gao Jiajun, Gao Xiaogong is the highest-ranking one.Later, Jolena suddenly gave birth to Gao Xiaobao. Since..."Ah!"

Guan Qi shrieked in agony, but Gongsun Liang had already cast a sound-dampening barrier, preventing any noise from escaping.

The two guards at the door seemed to have sensed something was amiss. They turned their heads and glanced back, then two streaks of wind pierced their foreheads with a thud, sending them crashing to the ground.

Gongsun Ming said coldly, "Do you speak or not"

"I don't know anything!"

As a wastrel, Guan Qi'ri had no shred of backbone.

If he had said it earlier, that's fine. But the problem is he truly didn't know anything, and had no idea what they wanted to ask.

"Kid, you've got a tough mouth. Let's see how long you can keep it up!"

Gongsun Ming wholeheartedly believed the words of the manager of Jubao Pavilion. In his view, this was exactly what Guan Qirui didn't want to tell him, and without hesitation, he broke off his other arm.

"Oh! I said, whatever you want, please let me go!"

After living for so many years, Guan Qi had never felt so hopeless before.

Gongsun Ming sneered coldly: "I thought you could talk tough for a while, just say it, where is the flame stone, hand it over quickly!"

"In...in...at Lady Duguxing's place!"

Guan Qi was really out of options and randomly shoved the blame onto Princess Laiyang.

"Kid, are we that easy to fool, you and I"

Gongsun Liang raised his hand and slapped him across the face, "Our brothers have already checked before, the princess of Laiyang has no flame stone on her body at all."

"Come on, where did you hide the thing"

Seeing that the blame couldn't be shifted, Guan Qi could only grit his teeth and say: "Gentlemen, please spare me!"

"I really don't know what a Fire Stone is, you must have gotten me mixed up. I've never even been to the Treasure Pavilion!"

"This kid's mouth is really tough! I don't believe I can't pry it open today. If you don't tell me honestly, believe me, I'll crush every bone in your body!"

The Yin-Yang Two Immortals were never benevolent to begin with, and at this moment, they showed absolutely no mercy.

Gongsun Ming kicked out, with a series of "crackle" sounds, breaking both his opponent's shins in two.

Guan Qi cried out in pain and was about to faint, but Gongsun Liang slapped him awake twice. He now wished he could faint, but couldn't.

About a quarter of an hour later, Guan Qirui's bones were crushed to pieces, and his whole body had softened into a puddle of flesh.

If it weren't tied to the tree, I'm afraid it wouldn't even be able to stand.

This butler, the young master, truly understands what it means to be caught between life and death. He had previously bullied men and women, doing all sorts of evil deeds. His current predicament is a just consequence for his actions.

Gongsun Liang said, "Big brother, something doesn't seem right! Normally, this guy's bones shouldn't be this hard. Let's just search his soul directly!"

"Well, there's no time to waste now."

Gongsun Ming finished speaking and directly reached out his hand to press on the opponent's Baihui point, performing the Soul Searching Technique.

His mental power was not as strong as Ye Bufan's, and his Soul Searching Technique was not as refined as the Soul Searching Art. Once cast, the opponent would surely die.

I thought maybe this guy could still be of some use, so I didn't deal with him. Now I can't afford to be so considerate anymore.

Moments later, Guan Qirui foamed at the mouth, convulsed all over, and rolled his eyes before collapsing lifelessly.

Gongsun Ming's expression was cold and stern. He searched the opponent's memories thoroughly, but he couldn't find what he wanted at all.

Gongsun Liang asked, "Brother, how is it going Where's the Dragon Absorbing Stone"

"This guy clearly has no idea, he wasn't lying before. He never went to the Jubao Pavilion and has never seen the Dragon Sucking Stone."

Gongsun Liang's expression changed: "How is this possible Could Jùbǎo Gē dare to deceive us brothers"

"They shouldn't have, they have no need to deceive us, and they wouldn't dare."

"If I'm not mistaken, the person who went to Jubao Pavilion for the auction wasn't Guan Qirui at all. Someone was impersonating him, trying to hide their identity and create confusion," Gongsun Ming said with a gloomy expression.

"What a cunning fellow, what a brilliant scheme!"

Gongsun Liang said, "Big brother, what should we do now"

"Don't rush, investigate slowly, and you'll find out eventually."

Gongsun Ming said, "The reason that boy framed Guan Qi is because he must be very familiar with him."

"And besides, there's bad blood between them. Following this lead, we'll eventually catch him."

After they finished speaking, the two figures instantly vanished from the courtyard, leaving only the butler and young master's corpses behind.

In the study of the Wangfu, Dugu Zhan sat by the window slowly sipping fragrant tea.

At this moment, the head guard of the prince's mansion rushed in hurriedly: "Your Highness, something has happened!"

"What happened"

Du Guzhan frowned in displeasure. Just moments ago, his daughter had been bullied at a small clinic, which left him feeling very upset. He hadn't expected the head guard to run over and report that something else was wrong.

"My Lord, just now, the young master of the steward, Guan Qirui, died!"

"Dead What happened"

Dugu Zhan looked puzzled. He thought his daughter wasn't home, so it was impossible for the other party to be killed.

The captain of the guards said, "I just had the coroner examine the wounds. Gu Qirui's bones were crushed all over his body, he must have been tortured."

But this was not his final cause of death. The cause of death was a psychic attack, probably a soul-searching technique.

According to my deduction, an outsider has secretly infiltrated the palace, and they are definitely a master. They want to extract something from him.

Dugu Zhan frowned again. Guan Qirui, a prodigal son, was nothing but a complete wastrel. What could he possibly know

I don't understand it, so I won't think about it anymore. He waved his hand: "That's enough, let the past be the past. Tell the butler to come and take the body away."

"Then strengthen the defenses within the manor, and do not allow just anyone to enter anymore."

To him, killing a Guan Qi wouldn't amount to anything at all; it was completely unworthy of his attention.

"Yes, my subordinate will inform someone to handle it immediately."

The head guard was about to leave when Dugu Zhan called him back.

"What about the county princess Has there been any news from her"

Dugu Zhan still cared very much for this daughter, although Dugu Hong was extremely ugly and had a domineering personality, she was still his own flesh and blood.

What's most crucial is that when he was young, he lived a life of debauchery and ended up ruining his health. He only had this one daughter, and after that, he never had any more children, so she's treated like a precious jewel.

"Not yet, but Elder Lu went. It should be no problem for him to handle a young doctor."

The head guard said, “It won’t be long before the County Princess returns victorious…”

Before he could finish his sentence, a clatter of footsteps came from outside the door.

Then the door was flung open with a bang, and four guards from the Duke's mansion rushed in carrying Dugu Hong. Behind them came Lu Bingkun, stumbling and unsteady on his feet.

Seeing his daughter beaten to a pulp, her limbs broken, Du Gu Zhan instantly flew into a rage.

Tell me, who did this Who dared to touch my daughter speaking, he kicked out at the void. A sharp cracking sound followed, and then the wind and clouds in the sky stopped. The killing intent surrounding them disappeared, and even the thick fog began t...
