Chapter 1162: Chapter 1165: Bizarre Incident (Part 2)
"Murdered?" Lin Xi’s face looked a bit grim.
Although, Gu Xiaoxian was basically safe there since Xu Hong had sent his subordinates, who were all quite powerful.
However, there was still a trace of danger.
Xu Hong saw what Lin Xi was thinking and immediately said, "Boss, don’t worry!"
"Miss Gu is quite safe. We’ve doubled the number of guards, and each of them is at the level of special forces."
"You could say, except for Wenhai and myself, they represent the strongest eight members of the Dark Night Sect."
Actually, if it wasn’t because there were too many matters, and they really couldn’t leave, they would have personally gone to protect her.
After all, she was the boss’s woman.
To them, the boss was not just a simple boss-subordinate relationship, but one of gratitude for rebuilding their lives.
"Boss, they weren’t murdered!" Wenhai said at this moment.
"Not murdered?" Lin Xi was taken aback.
"Yes!" Wenhai said, "You can’t see any injuries on these eight bodies!"
"Even after the detectives checked, there was no conclusive cause of death!"
"We can only say that the case is under investigation!"
"Moreover, we also looked at the photos and couldn’t see any issues—it’s just like they died naturally!"
When he finished, he opened his mobile phone, pulled out the photos, and handed them to Lin Xi.
Lin Xi took the phone and glanced at it, not finding any abnormalities.
Honestly, just relying on photos, it was hard to see anything.
"Simultaneously, what puzzles us is that our men also didn’t find any problems or anomalies, having stayed in that place for a while, yet nothing happened!"
To know that their subordinates were much stronger than those detectives.
Of course, they couldn’t compare to them when it came to investigating cases.
However, even though they didn’t find any problems, and the police couldn’t uncover anything either.
Lin Xi’s instinct told him there was something wrong with Gu Xiaoxian’s hometown.
Eight people dying for no apparent reason in just one month—if this isn’t strange enough to spook someone, nothing is.
He was now rather worried about Gu Xiaoxian.
Even though eight people were secretly protecting her, he wasn’t entirely assured.
He could only rest easy when the matter was clearly understood.
Just at this moment, Xu Hong’s phone rang. He originally planned to hang up.
But when he saw the caller ID, his face showed some doubt.
"Go ahead and answer, it’s fine!" Lin Xi said, and just then Xu Hong answered the call.
But hearing what the other side said, his expression changed.
Lin Xi and Wenhai also changed their expressions.
Because on the other end was the lead person protecting Gu Xiaoxian.
He just said another person died in Gu family village.
The place of death was where the other eight died too.
As for the cause of death, nobody knew.
Now the whole Gu family village was in a state of panic, the atmosphere of fear and tension was extremely disturbing.
The local police also made no headway.
It can be said, they were helpless.
Originally, Gu Xiaoxian was supposed to come back, but the deceased was Gu Lan’s sister-in-law.
This made her unwilling to leave Gu Lan any sooner.
She had to stay for another three or four days.
Crucially, the eight people sensed an eerie presence in the village.
That presence wasn’t noticeable during the day or couldn’t be felt at all, but as soon as night fell, it seemed to manifest.
Making their backs feel a chill.
To know these were special forces caliber, especially the lead with top-tier special forces ability.
His strength wasn’t inferior to what Lin Xi initially encountered with Xu Hong and Wenhai’s abilities.
"Boss, let’s go quickly!" Xu Hong and Wenhai exchanged glances, "With our combined strength, we can certainly identify the one causing trouble!"
Lin Xi didn’t speak.
According to this description, the culprit behind the scenes might not be human.
He used to not believe in ghosts or monsters.
But in less than three months.
In Chuzhou City, he not only encountered ghosts but also crossed paths with monsters.
Damn it, there were even two in his home.
"You just focus on your current matters; going may not help!" Lin Xi told the two.
Xu Hong hesitated, "Boss going personally?"
Lin Xi nodded.
If it’s really not human, then Xu Hong and Wenhai going might largely be ineffective.
Having decided, he didn’t say much more.
After leaving the bar, he called Zhu Ying, asking for leave for urgent matters.
Zhu Ying seemed used to this, not questioning what urgent matter, and directly hung up his call.
To this, Lin Xi presumed she agreed.
After returning home, he took the keys to the RV and prepared to head out.
Before leaving, he also sent a message to Bai Bing.
Bai Bing, as usual, didn’t reply to him.
But just when he was about to leave, the giant bear and the Ginseng King, seeing Lin Xi was about to embark on a long journey, couldn’t contain their restless hearts.
They cling stubbornly, not wanting to stay home and suffer.
With no way around it, Lin Xi took both along.
After all, with their abilities, self-defense was a given; if that thing courted trouble, it would be its misfortune.
To know, the giant bear was at mid-Innate strength, its realm even higher than Lin Xi’s.
Even the Ginseng King wasn’t a simple character.
Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been safe being on Ginseng Mountain in the Xiong family for so many years.
If it only ran fast, Lin Xi surely wouldn’t believe.
Just that day it had the bad luck to encounter him.
Gu family village, Gu Xiaoxian’s hometown, wasn’t far from Chuzhou City, just about three hours’ drive to reach.
Lin Xi’s RV wasn’t the fastest kind.
But its performance was shockingly good, after all, it was that expensive.
So, with his superb skills, he covered the three-hour distance in two hours, with a large section being mountainous terrain; otherwise, he’d have made it to Gu family village within an hour and a half.
Arriving at Gu family village at four-thirty in the afternoon.
Of course, Lin Xi didn’t drive the car directly into the village.
Instead, about a kilometer away, he stopped.
He worried that the giant bear’s aura would scare off that hidden entity.
Regarding the Ginseng King, it had excellent control over its aura.
After parking, Lin Xi got out of the car.
The giant bear and the Ginseng King immediately got out, planning to follow him.
Lin Xi shook his head, telling them to wait there.
And said, the giant bear’s aura was too strong and would scare people away.
The giant bear had no choice but to comply.
Back in the Secret Realm, it had been alone and didn’t need to control its aura there.
Therefore...
For the Ginseng King, controlling the aura was a must.
So finally, the Ginseng King eagerly followed Lin Xi.
Lin Xi didn’t pay much attention.
Leaving the giant bear forlornly to stay in a wooded area not far from the car.
"Hmm?" About five hundred meters away from Gu family village, Lin Xi frowned.
Because he had already sensed a peculiar aura.
This aura differed from any he’d sensed before.
