Although that was what he thought, he still had to put on a show. He coughed and walked in.
After entering, he asked solemnly, "Are you from the Du Residence? Why did you come to this inn to assassinate Brother Gu Ying?"
"I'm not from the Du Residence." Lin Fu said again.
"If you're not from the Du Residence, why do you have this token?" The person from the Mo Clan shouted again.
"I picked it up. I didn't know it was the token of the Du Residence." Lin Fu said with a confused expression.
"You said you're not from the Du Residence. Who are you?" The person from the Mo Clan asked again.
Lin Fu didn't say anything this time.
Seeing him like this, the person from the Mo Clan didn't continue asking. Instead, he looked at Gu Ying and said, "Brother Gu, this matter involves you and you have such a token. This matter is very important, so I want to report it and let the hall master or elder investigate this matter. What do you think?"
"That's fine." Gu Ying immediately nodded.
He was naturally happy to let someone with a higher status and strength investigate.
In that case, Brother Gu, wait here for a moment. I'll be back soon.
Immediately, the person from the Mo Clan left, leaving only a few of his subordinates in the inn.
…
Ah Dong, who was waiting outside, had already noticed that something was wrong. He hurriedly reported the situation to Du Haoran.
"Lin Fu has been captured!" As soon as he saw Du Haoran, he cried out in alarm.
"What? Lin Fu has been captured? What's going on? Isn't that kid very weak? Why isn't Lin Fu his match?" Du Haoran immediately asked.
"When I found out that Lin Fu was captured, Mo Bing, who was in charge of that area, had already rushed into the inn with some people. Then, I asked Mo Bing's subordinates and heard that the person who assassinated Lin Fu wasn't that person, but someone called Gu Ying. Gu Ying's status seems to be quite high." Ah Dong said gloomily.
"What's going on? Didn't I ask you to investigate? Did you make a mistake?" Du Haoran's expression darkened.
"I didn't make a mistake. I really saw that kid enter that room, so I came back." Ah Dong said with a sullen expression.
"No matter what, you're responsible for Lin Fu's capture!" Du Haoran said angrily.
"Young Master, I was wrong." Ah Dong said gloomily.
"Go and call Third Elder over," Du Haoran said.
Very quickly, Ah Dong called the Du Family's Third Elder over. In the middle of the night, the Third Elder was naturally unhappy, but Du Haoran was the young master of the Du Family, so he naturally wouldn't say anything.
"Young Master, what's the matter?" The moment he entered, he saw that Du Haoran's expression was not right, so the Third Elder hurriedly asked.
"I have a grudge with someone, so I sent Lin Fu to deal with him. Who would have thought that Lin Long would find the wrong person? Now, he has been captured by Mo Family's steward, Mo Bing. Third Elder, please help me protect Lin Fu." Du Haoran said.
"Damn it, it's the middle of the night, and they're actually doing something like this." The Third Elder cursed in his heart.
However, Du Haoran was the Young Master of the Du Family after all. No matter what, he had to clean up after him.
He immediately said, "Don't worry, Young Master. I'll do it right away."
"Third Elder, Lin Fu was captured at the Linhua Inn." Ah Dong hurriedly said.
"Bring me there." Third Elder frowned and walked out.
Ah Dong hurriedly followed behind him.
Soon, they arrived outside the Hualin Inn. Once outside, the Third Elder discovered that the situation was not right.
"Aren't those the subordinates of Mo Family's Elder Mo Han? Why are they here?" The Third Elder asked in surprise.
If the Mo Family's Elder appeared, he, as an elder of the Du Family, would be of any use.
"They weren't here a moment ago, why are they here now?" Ah Dong also said in surprise.
"It seems that you've provoked a powerful person!" The Third Elder coldly said.
Knowing that they had provoked a powerful person, they didn't dare to go inside. Instead, they waited in a corner opposite the Hualin Inn to see what was going on.
At this time, inside the Hualin Inn, the Mo Family's Elder Mo Han had already brought two people with him to stand in front of Gu Ying.
"Elder Mo Han, sorry to trouble you." Seeing that Mo Han had personally come forward, Gu Ying couldn't help but respectfully say.
"Brother Gu, no need to be polite." Elder Mo Han said with a smile.
Then he asked, "Brother Gu, what's going on?"
"This is the person inside who tried to assassinate me. I also found a Du Mansion's token on his body." Saying so, Gu Ying handed over the token to Mo Han.
"Du Mansion?" Mo Han's face couldn't help but sink.
He also understood why Mo Han asked him to deal with this matter, it was simply a hot potato.
However, as an elder of the Mo Family, he naturally wouldn't be afraid of the Du Family, so in his heart, he wanted to deal with this matter impartially.
He walked inside and asked in a cold voice, "Are you from the Du Family?"
As an elder of the Mo Family, he naturally wouldn't know a nobody like Lin Fu.
"I'm not from the Du Family." Lin Fu still shook his head.
To be honest, he was a little afraid to see Mo Han, but he knew that he absolutely couldn't tell the truth.
"Then why is this token on your body?" Mo Han asked again.
"I picked it up, I didn't know it was the Du Mansion's token, I just thought it looked good." Lin Fu quibbled.
"If that's the case, then who are you and what force do you belong to?" Mo Han asked again.
This time, Lin Fu didn't speak again.
"You don't want to speak, then I don't mind using private punishment on you!" Mo Han said coldly.
However, he didn't start a fight here, after all, this was the Hualin Inn, if he started a fight here, it would inevitably affect the people living here.
He immediately said to Gu Ying, "Brother Gu, this is not a place for torture, are you willing to follow us to the Mo Family's dungeon?"
"Of course I'm willing." Gu Ying immediately nodded.
"Good, then Brother Gu will come with us." After saying that, Mo Han said to the person who followed him, "Let's go to the dungeon."
Immediately, a group of people escorted Lin Fu out of the Hualin Inn, towards the Mo Family's dungeon.
Lin Long naturally didn't follow them, after all, he was just a bystander.
Outside the Hualin Inn, watching Lin Fu being escorted to the dungeon by Mo Han, the Du Family's third elder's face naturally became ugly.
"Lin Fu, who is the person who tried to assassinate you?" The third elder looked coldly at Ah Dong.
"Just now, I asked, it was a person called Gu Ying, but I don't know his identity." Ah Dong smiled bitterly.
Wrinkling his brows, the third elder directly walked into the Hualin Inn.
"Ah, third elder, what's the matter?" The gloomy inn owner saw the Du Family's third elder walk in, and he couldn't help but ask in surprise.
"Inn owner, I heard that someone tried to assassinate you, and I don't know who it was, and who it was that caused Elder Mo Han to take action?" The third elder asked.
"It was an assassination attempt on a person called Gu Ying, I don't know his identity, but I think he should be someone with considerable strength outside of Mo Shi City." The inn owner said.
Hearing the inn owner's words, the third elder couldn't help but frown.
However, the Du Family in Mo Shi City had a lot of connections, knowing the other party's name, it was naturally easy to find out the other party's identity.
Immediately, he walked out of the inn.
Not long after, he went to two places, and after disturbing people in the middle of the night, he obtained a piece of information: Gu Ying was from the Gu Family in Yugu City, which was not far from Mo Shi City. The Gu Family was actually much stronger than the Du Family, and they had a good relationship with the Mo Family.
Hearing this information, the third elder's face immediately darkened.
Damn it, who didn't want to assassinate someone like him? He cursed in his heart.
Knowing that he couldn't handle this matter, he directly returned to the Du Residence.
Seeing the two of them return, the worried Du Haoran immediately went to greet them. "Third elder, how is the situation?"
"The situation is not good, Lin Fu assassinated someone from Yugu City's Gu Family." The third elder said.
"Yugu City's Gu Family?" Hearing the third elder's words, Du Haoran was startled. He also knew that there was a Gu Family in Yugu City.
"The Gu Family's relationship with the Mo Family is not bad, so this matter is very troublesome." The third elder said.
"That damned Lin Fu, who didn't want to assassinate someone from the Gu Family?!" Du Haoran immediately became angry.
"Lin Fu didn't mention young master, so young master, you don't have to worry too much." The third elder said again.
"Third elder, did you find out about this?" Du Haoran couldn't help but ask.
"No, it's just a guess. If Lin Fu mentioned you, Mo Han would have already killed his way to our Du Residence." The third elder said.
"Mo Han? Why did Mo Han personally take action? "Hearing that it was an elder of the Mo Family, Du Haoran couldn't help but be startled.
"With the relationship between the Mo Family and the Gu Family, it's not strange." The third elder said.
"Damn it, that damned Lin Fu!" Du Haoran couldn't help but curse at Lin Fu.
"Young master, this matter still needs the Old Master to personally take action." The third elder reminded.
"Third elder, you, you help me." Hearing the third elder's words, Du Haoran's face couldn't help but twitch.
He knew that if his father heard about this matter, he would definitely pick up a whip and beat him.
"That's fine, then I'll help you talk to the Old Master. However, young master, you also need to prepare." The third elder said and walked out.
Hearing his words, Du Haoran's face naturally twitched again.
Soon, the third elder arrived at the door of the Du Family's Patriarch, Du Meng's room. Although he didn't want to disturb Du Meng at this time, he really had no other choice.
With a light sigh, he stepped forward and knocked on Du Meng's door.
"Who … is it in the middle of the night?" Du Meng's extremely dissatisfied voice came from inside.
"Master, I have an important matter to report to you." The third elder said.
"What matter? Wait until tomorrow!" Du Meng coldly said.
"Master, it's about the young master." The third elder said.
"What?" Hearing this, Du Meng suddenly sat up. He knew that Du Haoran must have caused a big trouble, otherwise the third elder wouldn't have come to find him at this time.
