Faced with Zhou Hanyun's inquiry, for a moment, Yang Yan really didn't know what to say.

Indeed, he had sensed something yesterday, but he didn't expect the other party to directly target Situ Wen.

This led to the unfortunate incident for the enthusiastic Mr. Situ.

Seeing Yang Yan fall into silence, Zhou Hanyun smiled helplessly:

"You, yesterday you acted so convincingly, I thought you really trusted Mr. Situ!"

"But what happened? You still tampered with the jade."

Hearing that Zhou Hanyun did not intend to pursue the matter, Yang Yan breathed a sigh of relief and explained with a smile:

"Don't think I tampered with the jade to guard against Mr. Situ."

"Moreover, if Mr. Situ hadn't spoken yesterday, did those guys really think they could make me take out the jade?"

Zhou Hanyun exaggeratedly rolled her eyes and said irritably:

"Alright, alright, we know you're incredible. But if we go look for that guy now, won't it cause a conflict with the Hongmen people?"

"After all, that guy is a Hall Master of Hongmen!"

Yang Yan raised an eyebrow and sneered:

"What conflict could there be? I'm just going to retrieve my own belongings, which is only right and proper."

"Besides, I spoke with the Dragon Head of Hongmen just now. It's true I'd rather not be entangled with Hongmen, but that doesn't mean I fear them."

Hearing this, Zhou Hanyun nodded thoughtfully and didn't say more.

Meanwhile, Yang Yan was pondering Mr. Yan's request.

Because the world is still recovering, temporarily, no Hidden World persons are allowed to enter the current world.

That old guy wanted to find someone from the Hidden World to handle matters in the current world?

There must be something fishy here!

"Aren't you planning to help those Hongmen guys? I can tell you don't seem to dislike them."

"But..."

Suddenly, Zhou Hanyun mischievously smiled again:

"I'm also really curious why you're so distant from them."

"Well..." Yang Yan shook his head with a bitter smile, "that's another story from a long time ago. It even involves someone I really dislike."

"But what's most infuriating is not that; what's most infuriating is that I really hate that guy, yet I can't take him down.

"And that idiot is part of Hongmen's Heaven and Earth Society. So before that detestable guy finds out I'm here, it's best I don't get involved with Hongmen or the Heaven and Earth Society!"

"Otherwise, that idiot will come looking for trouble sooner or later. It will be a real headache then."

As Yang Yan said this, he seemed to recall something disgusting and grimaced in disgust.

Beside him, Zhou Hanyun watched him with great interest.

It was the first time she had seen the usually fearless Yang Yan in such a state.

"Alright, let's not mention that detestable guy. Every time I think of him, I just can't help wanting to get rid of him."

Yang Yan said discontentedly.

"Haha! You're making me really curious about what kind of freak could make you this angry. I really want to meet that person."

Zhou Hanyun said with a laugh.

"You must believe me; you definitely don't want to meet that guy. That guy is an idiot, a bastard naturally detestable."

Yang Yan couldn't help but vent again.

The two of them once again arrived at the Hongmen Hall.

This time, it was completely different from when they came yesterday.

Yesterday, there were no guards outside.

But now, the outside was packed with people.

Each looked as if faced with a formidable enemy, very serious in expression.

"What's going on here? Does that guy know I'm coming?"

Seeing the unusual atmosphere here, Yang Yan couldn't help but frown and say.

"Who are you?"

Just as Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun were about to walk in, two guards came over, blocking them and asking cautiously.

"We had an incident over at the exhibition yesterday, and it was Master Wei Ying who asked us to come today."

Yang Yan looked at the two guards and said calmly.

"Master Wei Ying asked you to come?"

The guards looked at Yang Yan and Zhou Hanyun in confusion and hesitantly said.

"Yes! That's right, it was your Master Wei Ying who asked us to come. If you don't believe us, you can ask Master Wei."

Yang Yan added.

"Ask Master Wei? I'm afraid no one will ever be able to ask him again. Because just last night, Master Wei Ying was killed."

One of the guards frowned and said.

"What! Killed?"

Hearing the guard's words, Yang Yan's eyebrows furrowed immediately.

Of course, he believed these two guards weren't lying to him.

But how did Master Wei Ying end up killed?

Yang Yan vaguely felt a great conspiracy looming over him.

"Can you tell me how he was killed? Or do you know who the murderer is?"

Yang Yan stared intently at the guard and asked.

"Get out! Do you dare to inquire about such matters?"

"If you're tired of living, go die somewhere else, don't come here and drag us two brothers into it."

The guard, somewhat terrified, said upon hearing Yang Yan's uninhibited inquiry about Mr. Wei Ying's death.

"Can I go inside and take a look?"

Yang Yan probed and asked:

"Master Wei Ying still has a few of my possessions! Can I retrieve my things?"

"Don't think about it!"

The guard said solemnly:

"Not just Master Wei was killed, everything inside has been torn apart by someone, no matter what your belongings are, I'm afraid you'll never see them in this lifetime."

Although his words were simple, Yang Yan gleaned a lot of information from them.

According to him, people and things inside had all been torn apart.

Yet, Yang Yan could still feel the presence of the aura left on the jade inside.

Unfortunately, if he wanted to get inside now, he had to go through these guards.

"Ah! Such a troublesome thing!"

Yang Yan sighed and said.

And just as Yang Yan was perplexed about how he could get inside, a man walked up to him and said:

"Mr. Yang! Mr. Yan has already learned about what happened here; he sent me to help deal with it."

"Moreover, he also mentioned that if you're here, he would like you to accompany me in investigating Master Wei's death."

Yang Yan certainly recognized this man.

It was none other than Hu's brother, Long.

However, what surprised Yang Yan was that the impression Long gave him now was entirely different from how he was earlier at the hospital.

"Haha! Then let's go! Did your Mr. Yan mention if I could get my belongings back?"
