Zhuo Yun paused before he furrowed his brows and continued. "When I was investigating the Earl's Residence, I discovered more than a dozen assassins. I didn't discover any snipers."
Although he was used to being Min Yu's chauffeur, his investigative skills were among the best in the security team. It was impossible for him to miss out on other hidden dangers.
Especially when it came to snipers. Based on their concealment patterns, it wasn't too difficult for him to find traces of them.
Min Yu looked up and said ambiguously, "What if they didn't deliberately conceal themselves?"
Zhuo Yun's pupils shrank. A thought suddenly popped up in his head. "Are you saying that the sniper was..."
"Probably." Min Yu's voice was extremely soft. He paused for a moment before he asked, "What's the situation outside? Did something happen? "
He was referring to the banquet hall.
Zhuo Yun shook his head. "Nothing much happened. The alarm went off and caused a bit of chaos. But it's still under control."
Speaking of which, the Earl Countess had already been calming the guests down when he had first entered. Her actions had been methodical, as though she had anticipated the chaos.
Zhuo Yun was slightly stunned as he thought about it.
Arranging for a sniper to ambush Yu, and the Earl Countess had coincidentally taken the bullet for Yu... No matter how he looked at it, it seemed like a self-scripted and self-directed plot.
But was Murray trying to make Yu owe the Earl Countess a favor?
Zhuo Yun found it ridiculous. If it was really a ruse... then it was too much of a ploy.
After all, from the penetrating marks of the bullet, a single misstep could have resulted in a real death.
Zhuo Yun looked at Min Yu. Just as he was about to say something, Min Yu, who had also guessed that things weren't as simple as they seemed, turned and strode out.
Zhuo Yun hurriedly followed him.

In the banquet hall, Huo Yulin frowned when he heard the alarm. Although he wasn't as flustered as the other guests, he felt inexplicably annoyed.
No one knew what had happened, nor did they know that Murray had just been shot by a sniper.
Huo Yulin raised his hand to look at his watch. It had been over ten minutes since his little sister had left to change.
Thinking about how his little sister suddenly wanted to attend the Count's banquet, it was a little out of character. Now that the Count's Mansion had sounded the alarm, it was obvious that something had happened.
Huo Yulin took out his phone to call Huo Yao.
But the response he got was that the call could not be connected.
Huo Yulin dialed the number two more times, but the result was the same.
His expression changed, and he put away his phone. He looked around the large hall, but he did not see the countess. Without hesitation, he walked toward the spiral staircase that led to the second floor.
Now, he could only hope that his little sister had nothing to do with the alarm just now, and that it was just something as simple as changing clothes.
Huo Yulin bumped into Min Yu at the foot of the stairs, who was coming out of the side hall.
Min Yu's eyes darkened when he noticed Huo Yulin's expression. "Brother Yulin, where's Yao?"
Huo Yulin didn't mind Min Yu calling him Third Older Brother. "Alcohol was spilled on her clothes. A maid took her upstairs to clean it up ten minutes ago. I tried calling her, but I couldn't get through."
Min Yu narrowed his eyes. Ten minutes ago, he had been sent away by Murray.
It seemed like this was all because of Huo Yao.
Min Yu did not say anything and hurried up the stairs.
