Chapter 382: Black Hand
"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.
