Chapter 331: The Mastermind

Jun Mo had his own way of dealing with firearms. It was impossible for him to trigger such a malignant explosion at such a critical moment when the two families were about to fight.
Since Nighthawk wasn’t the one who did it, the only possibility was that someone else was behind it.
However, what kind of person could do such a ruthless thing? Shi Man racked her brains and thought about all the details in the original book, but she could not think of who this person was.
Then there was only one explanation left. This person had chosen this moment to attack because she had changed the plot of the original book.
“Could it be someone else who has a grudge against Jun Mo?” Zhu Wen’s face was pale. His eyes widened as he analyzed.
However, as soon as he said that, he knew that if he continued to investigate like this, there would probably never be an outcome.
Jun Mo had been in the underworld for so many years. In terms of enemies, they would probably line up from G City to overseas. Moreover, this explosion was enough to destroy all evidence.
Everything that happened last night was burned down with this drastic change. There was no way to investigate.
Shi Man turned around and left with a serious expression. Zhu Wen quickly stopped her from behind. “Wait, where are you going? It’s too dangerous outside now. Why don’t you go back to the Shi family quickly?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly remembered that Jun Mo had once said that there was an extremely cunning girl in Blood Oath. He was actually not even her match and she could even fight against many people alone. It was not a problem for her to face their encirclement.
From the looks of it, this omnipotent girl was clearly Shi Man.
Since she had this ability, why did she need him to be concerned about her?
Zhu Wen smiled bitterly and closed his mouth. Just as he was about to turn around and leave dejectedly, Shi Man suddenly turned around to look at him. Her expression was solemn but a little kinder. “Now is not the time to guess blindly. There are still many things waiting for us to do. Yi Zheng and I are going back to continue rescuing the affected people. I’ll leave this place to you for the time being.”
Zhu Wen suddenly paused, and a trace of surprise suddenly appeared in his eyes. Then, he nodded solemnly and said, “Alright, leave this to me. Don’t worry.”
Only then did Shi Man bring Yi Zheng back to the car. She sat on the car seat tiredly, but she could not stop thinking for a long time.
Yi Zheng took off his coat and draped it over her. He turned on the air conditioner in the car, and the entire car instantly became warm. “Sleep for a while on the way back. I’ll wake you up when we get there.”
It was the coldest day of the year before the new year. Last night, Shi Man had been frozen outside for the entire night. Now that he touched her hands and feet, they were cold. If this continued, no matter how good her body was, she would probably fall sick very quickly.
Shi Man took off the coat and draped them over his shoulders again. “1 don’t need it. I’m not cold. I’m just wondering who would do such a crazy thing. Is it really just an accident?”
Yi Zheng pondered for a moment and said with a dark expression, “1 can’t figure out who this person is for the time being, but we can assume that there’s such a person. We can infer from his motive for doing this.”
Shi Man immediately perked up. Her mind was in a mess and she needed someone with a clear mind to help her sort out the sequence of events.
Seeing that she had sat up again, Yi Zheng smiled and pressed her shoulder to let her relax and rest. “Exploding that batch of firearms will undoubtedly cause extremely serious consequences. That person must know this very well, but he still did it. What’s his goal?”
Shi Man frowned and tried her best to clear her mind. She muttered to herself, “There’s no benefit in doing this, but from Jun Mo’s perspective, he will definitely die, and the entire Jun family will no longer exist.”
This was the most brutal and simplest way to get rid of the entire Jun family.
At the thought of this, Shi Man suddenly felt all the hair on her body stand on end and her scalp tingle.
Yi Zheng narrowed his eyes and continued to guide her. “Then what other benefits will there be without the Jun family?”
Shi Man pursed her lips and her breathing suddenly became rapid. She gritted her teeth and said, “The Jun family has disappeared, and the Hellgate has completely disappeared. Nighthawk has also suffered heavy losses. Then, only Blood Oath is left. Only the Yi family is left.”
Yi Zheng raised his eyebrows slightly and said with a smile, “Isn’t the countermeasure we discussed yesterday causing this situation?”
Shi Man was shocked. She sat up in a hurry and grabbed Yi Zheng’s wrist. “Does he want to make the Blood Oath unify all the underworlds or roast it over the fire?!”
Yi Zheng curled his lips slightly and revealed a mocking expression. “What do you think? Our Yi family will never do such a thing. If there’s really such a person, he must be up to no good.”
Shi Man retracted her hand weakly and lowered her eyes. No one knew what she was thinking. After a while, she looked up again and said, “We’re going to see Auntie Lu and Uncle Yi. With such a big thing happening, I’m worried that someone will take the initiative to find trouble with them.”
“I’m afraid they’re already causing trouble.” Yi Zheng sneered and drove straight to the Yi family’s residence..
