Chapter 254 - 253: Junior Sister Mo
Mo Ping saw Yiyi coming over and quickly asked, "How’s your mother?"
"Don’t worry, my mother is fine. However, this matter is somewhat suspicious, and I need to investigate it thoroughly."
Upon hearing this, Mo Ping nodded directly and said, "Of course, we must investigate thoroughly. How could someone intercept her on the road for no reason? We must get to the bottom of this."
Yiyi thought the same, so she directly instructed Mo Ping to find someone to inquire about the incident, while she prepared to find Xie Yuanzhou. According to Yin Suxin, Xie Yuanzhou had caught the person who attacked her mother, so they must be able to get some information from him.
Just as Yiyi was about to head out, Guo Ming returned, and with him was Pei Jin.
Seeing her master coming, Yiyi’s face was full of surprise, "Master, why are you back? Didn’t you say you’d be a couple more days?"
"The matters were all settled, so I came back earlier. But where are you going?" Looking at the time, Guo Ming couldn’t help but say, "You should be going to school today, right? Why are you still here at this time?"
At this moment, Mo Ping came out, equally excited to see Guo Ming, and then quickly recounted the incident with Ding Yuejun.
"Yue Jun got into such trouble, how could Yiyi feel like going to school? She’s about to investigate the situation."
Guo Ming frowned after hearing what happened, then looked at Pei Jin and said, "In that case, you should follow Mo Ping and investigate thoroughly. I want useful information within three days."
Pei Jin immediately nodded and said, "Rest assured, Sect Leader, I will investigate thoroughly."
Mo Ping was a bit curious as he glanced at Pei Jin, having many questions to ask, but the most crucial thing now was uncovering the truth about Ding Yuejun’s injury, so he went out directly with his people.
Guo Ming then looked at Yiyi and said, "Since you’re going to find Xie Yuanzhou, I’ll go with you. I know where the Xie Family resides."
Hearing this, Yiyi quickly said, "Master, then I’ll trouble you."
"No trouble at all. I’m also going to see an old friend, haven’t seen a good friend for a long time."
At the end of his words, Guo Ming was somewhat emotional. He had been young when he met Xie Yuanzhou’s father, Xie Yongchao, and couldn’t believe how many years had passed.
When the master and disciple arrived at the Xie Family, they directly went up to knock on the door.
Xie Yuanzhou opened the door and, upon seeing Guo Ming and Yiyi outside, couldn’t help but be a bit surprised, then nodded in understanding, "Come in."
Yiyi, upon entering, straightforwardly asked, "Where are the people who attacked my mother? Where are they now?"
Xie Yuanzhou shrugged a bit helplessly and said, "Dead."
"What..."
Yiyi was surprised upon hearing this, "How did they die?"
She had imagined a thousand scenarios but never thought those people would die.
Just then, Xie Yongchao came over with his eldest son, Xie Yuanguang. When he saw Guo Ming, he was a bit hesitant to recognize him, but when he saw the smile on the other’s face, he stepped forward excitedly and said, "Brother Guo..."
Guo Ming, meeting Xie Yongchao again, couldn’t help feeling a bit emotional and patted his shoulder, "Long time no see, Yongchao."
"Yes, long time no see, Brother Guo."
Xie Yuanzhou and Xie Yuanguang looked curiously at their father and Guo Ming.
But Guo Ming, still mindful of the young disciple’s issue, recounted the events, and finally said, "So let Yuanguang and Yuanzhou explain the situation." While at Wuming Pharmacy, he just wanted to live quietly, so even seeing Xie Yuanzhou, he didn’t speak much, but now that he was back officially, he naturally wanted to get to know the two sons of his old friend properly.
Xie Yongchao heard and looked at his two sons, saying, "You just tell everything clearly."
Xie Yuanguang was the first to speak, "Yesterday when we were going down the street, we heard someone shouting for help. Normally, Yuanzhou and I wouldn’t interfere, but Yuanzhou seemed to recognize the person, so we stepped in to help."
"And when we helped, we found those people were not ordinary at all, not only were they skilled, but they also worked in harmony, moving strategically, indicating they were well-trained. So after sending them to the hospital, Yuanzhou and I thought to bring them in for interrogation, wanting to know which group they were from. However, those people committed suicide."
At the end, even Xie Yuanguang found it troublesome.
He could now be sure that those people were not simple, but they didn’t have any leads.
Even Xie Yongchao was surprised, "They all committed suicide? How did they commit suicide? How did you and Yuanzhou manage to let them do that even while watching?"
At this time, Xie Yuanzhou said from the side, "Dad, it was indeed our oversight on this matter, but we didn’t expect those people to have cyanide teeth."
This even surprised Guo Ming.
"What... those people even had cyanide teeth." At the end of his words, his brows furrowed slightly, sensing it was not simple. But Ding Yuejun was just an ordinary woman, so why were those people trying to capture her?
Yiyi naturally heard everything clearly, her heart tightened again, and she began to worry, "Master, will my mother encounter danger again next time? Why does she keep experiencing danger? If it weren’t for Gu Tingyu last time, she would have been directly taken away, and this time, it was almost her life."
Xie Yuanzhou thought back to the medicine pills he bought before, and had a positive impression of Yiyi, knowing she was a capable young girl, so he objectively suggested, "I think you should have someone protect your mother. If we hadn’t passed by that day, your mother might have lost her life."
Xie Yuanguang nodded in agreement, "Yes, this time, they probably weren’t just planning to capture your mother; their goal could very well have been her life. If it weren’t for being on the street, your mother could have been in danger."
Yiyi’s face darkened upon hearing this.
Guo Ming’s expression wasn’t much better, finally saying seriously, "It seems we really need to get to the bottom of this. You cannot always guard against thieves; we must investigate thoroughly."
Yiyi nodded in agreement, then stood up and bowed deeply to Xie Yuanzhou and Xie Yuanguang, "Thank you, brothers of the Xie Family. If it weren’t for you, my mother would have been in danger."
Xie Yongchao smiled and said, "No need to thank us. Since you’re Brother Guo’s disciple, you’re now a sister to Yuanguang and Yuanzhou, so they should help you."
Regarding this newfound sister, Xie Yuanguang said nothing, but Xie Yuanzhou gave a slight smile, "It seems we are indeed fated, Boss Mo, no... from now on, I shall call you Junior Sister Mo."
