From Abyssal Invasion to Bursting Stars with a Single Sword
Chapter 468 - 302 Suspicion_2

Lu Heng pressed on his wound, trying to stop the bleeding, and shouted, "Was it you who opened the Bloodline Clan Teleportation Gate? Was it you?"

You Jinghan opened his mouth to speak, but as soon as he did, blood sprayed out.

The blood had already filled his lungs, completely stifling his voice; every time he opened his mouth, blood sprayed out, producing only a gurgling sound.

Until his life completely dissipated.

Chen Linian ran up, looked at the now-dead You Jinghan, and scanned the surroundings while gasping heavily.

Someone was silencing a witness.

Who could it be?

And why silence them?

Numerous conjectures flashed through his mind instantly.

At that moment,

Su Muyu rushed over, descended with her Energy Wings, and at the same time released a second Chongming Bird to track the sniper.

However, a minute had already passed since the shot was fired, and a survey of the area revealed nothing.

Su Muyu squatted down and released the Life Tree Vine again, attempting to heal.

But the injuries were too severe, nearly all the organs in the chest cavity were destroyed.

Su Muyu sighed and shook her head at Lu Heng.

Chen Linian, whose temperament was somewhat irritable, had finally found a clue, and now it was being silenced all of a sudden.

He grabbed his hat and wanted to throw it to the ground to vent his emotions.

After a moment of furrowed contemplation, Lu Heng said, "Call an ambulance, take him to the hospital for treatment, use the Life Tree Vine to seal up the wound."

The man was already dead, calling an ambulance now certainly couldn't bring him back to life.

So why call an ambulance?

Chen Linian immediately understood what that meant, and shouted behind him, "Quick, call an ambulance!"

After more than ten minutes,

the ambulance arrived and took You Jinghan to the hospital.

At the hospital, Iron Blood had arranged an operating room and doctors; when he was transferred to the ward, staff were assigned to seal off the ward.

Even Rong Xincheng was denied a visit.

In the hospital corridor, Chen Linian pulled out a cigarette, intending to light it, but this was a hospital.

He had to settle for sniffing the cigarette, then hooked it over his ear.

Lu Heng stood by the window, carefully analyzing tonight's events.

Chen Linian was also analyzing the situation, asking, "Who do you think wanted to silence him?"

"What do you think?" Lu Heng still didn't have an answer.

"It could be an organization that deals in Superpower Potions. He was injected with SPA, a luxury item worth millions. They might have silenced him because they were worried he would leak information about the Superpower Potion channels," speculated Chen Linian, who had been investigating Superpower Potion-related cases extensively lately.

Due to strict enforcement by Da Xia against Superpower Potions, there had been no overflow of such potions in the country.

Still, these potions, which cause dependency in Superpower Users and can enhance their Combat Power, are excessively profitable.

Even if the law prohibits it, people will take risks.

With each potion worth millions, the size of interests involved in the Superpower Potion channels is evident.

Given this, there indeed existed a possibility that You Jinghan was silenced by an organization dealing in Superpower Potions.

However,

Lu Heng had one doubt: "This sniper is of a very high level, extremely high."

You Jinghan's Source Energy Level was not low; otherwise, he wouldn't have been summoned into Elf World.

To take down You Jinghan with one shot, this sniper tasked with silencing him surely had an even higher level.

That meant this sniper belonged to the top tier of Superpower Users, with a Source Energy Level certainly no less than Level 35.

Would a Superpower User of such a high level work as an enforcer for a Superpower Potion distribution organization?

Such a high-level Superpower User in any organization would be considered top combat power.

Normally, this top combat power wouldn't be tasked with dirty work like silencing witnesses, especially just for using a Superpower Potion, which seemed somewhat peculiar.

If that really was the reason, there was only one possibility; the sniper too had injected himself with the Superpower Potion, elevating his level artificially. Because of the dependency on the Superpower Potion, he had no choice but to work for the illegal organization.

Lu Heng closed his eyes, carefully recalling Yu Jinghan's appearance before his death.

At that time, Yu Jinghan had wanted to speak, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he spit blood and couldn't make a sound.

Lu Heng remembered his expression at that time; something seemed off.

Chen Linian took a cigarette, sniffed it, and said, "Based on the information currently known, this Yu Jinghan held the Dark Werewolf Class, and he was injected with the Superpower Potion.

"That is to say, it's possible he was a traitor.

"If he was a traitor and opened the Bloodline Demon's Teleportation Gate in the Elf World, then his decision to flee upon hearing that he was being investigated would make sense."

Up to this point, indeed all clues pointed towards Yu Jinghan.

Moreover, all clues were within a reasonable range.

The only strange aspect was the final silencing.

The silencing itself wasn't strange, but the sniper responsible for it was too strong; just any illegal organization dealing in Superpower Potions having such a powerful Superpower User as a hitman was irrational.

Though the sniper responsible for the silencing hadn't been tracked down, the matter wasn't over.

As long as the news that Yu Jinghan "wasn't dead" got out, if the person behind the scenes still wanted to silence him, they would definitely find a way to make a move.

It was now time to see if they could catch the fish.

Lu Heng asked, "Has the news been sent out?"

Chen Linian nodded, "It has been sent out, the broadcasted message is that he will wake up within twelve hours."

"Alright, let's see who can't keep their cool first."

At that moment,

Rong Xincheng shouted from downstairs, "Can I get a look at Yu Jinghan, just a glance, even from behind a door is fine."

Seeing him appear, Lu Heng said to Chen Linian, "Perfect, let's have a chat with him."

The two went downstairs and took Rong Xincheng to a quiet office.

Rong Xincheng urgently asked, "How is Yu Jinghan doing?"

Lu Heng didn't answer his question but asked directly, "What kind of person is Yu Jinghan?"

Rong Xincheng considered for a moment and answered, "He's quite a good person normally; otherwise, I wouldn't have teamed up with him."

Lu Heng then asked, "How did you become teammates? Did you use a Team Contract?"

Team Contracts were scarce, and if purchased with money, they would certainly be exorbitantly priced.

Rong Xincheng shook his head, "No, we completed a hidden mission in the Abyss Battlefield, and the reward was a Team Contract."

The Team Contract was indeed the main way to form a team but not the only way.

In the Abyss World, there were other ways to obtain a Team Contract, like the hidden mission reward he mentioned.

Lu Heng continued, "Do you know if Yu Jinghan injected himself with the Superpower Potion?"

Rong Xincheng immediately froze and shook his head, "No, he injected himself with the Superpower Potion?"

Chen Linian tapped the table with a pen, reminding, "The case is still being investigated; just tell us what you know.

"When you were in the Elf World during the final battle phase, did Yu Jinghan ever leave your sight?"

"That's... It was such a fierce battle; I couldn't possibly keep an eye on him at all times." Rong Xincheng was not very sure.

But the battlefield environment was complex, and Power Users weren't soldiers who maintain formations at all times; occasionally acting separately was normal.

Lu Heng continued, "When did Yu Jinghan acquire the Dark Werewolf Class?"

Rong Xincheng shook his head again, "I don't know; before today, I didn't even know he had the Dark Werewolf Class. I only found out tonight when I saw him in his werewolf form."

Lu Heng again asked, "So, you're not sure if he obtained the Dark Werewolf Class in the Elf World."

Rong Xincheng, a bit helpless, spread his hands and answered, "I really don't know; he never mentioned anything about the Dark Werewolf Class."

Lu Heng asked one more time, "Do you know if he is a traitor?"

Rong Xincheng shaking his head replied, "I don't know, but I don't think he could be a traitor."

"Why do you say that?" Lu Heng pressed.

"We've encountered the Traitor Task before, but even then we already knew becoming a traitor was a point of no return. It was Yu Jinghan who advised me against taking the Traitor Task. He's really a nice guy usually; I just don't understand why things would turn out this way," Rong Xincheng pressed his hand against his forehead, looking very distressed.

He was the team captain, and with a teammate ending up like this, he felt an undeniable responsibility.
