Chapter 731: Chapter 731: Will You Give Me Whatever I Want (2)

Gan Yuan narrowed his bright eyes slightly, "What’s going on between you and Jessica?"

Will’s face showed some discomfort, "We... we don’t have much going on. Sir asked me to keep her occupied, and then..."

He was really embarrassed to speak about the details between them in front of Gan Yuan, yet it was inappropriate to lie, inevitably making him stutter.

"That’s not what I mean." Gan Yuan, seeing his distress, said, "I don’t intend to pry into your privacy; I just want to ask, do you think Jessica and the others had it premeditated?"

Will thought for a moment and spoke with some hesitation.

"Actually, I’ve been thinking about tonight’s events, and something always seemed off. At the time, Jessica appeared completely unaware of the situation downstairs."

"You mean to say Jessica didn’t know about the assassination attempt on Ajue?"

"We were sparring at the time. When we heard the gunshots, she also seemed very surprised," Will recalled the details seriously, "Of course, it’s also possible she just wanted to keep me occupied to create an opportunity for the assassin."

After asking Will for some more details, Gan Yuan smiled at him.

"It’s getting late, you should also get some rest soon, tonight has been tough on you."

"You’re too kind, sir. It’s my honor to serve you!"

He stood up, bowed to her, bid her goodnight, and then left the room, while Gan Yuan leaned back on the couch, lost in thought.

...

...

Hospital.

In the emergency room, the assassin had died.

Several agents from F Country were collecting his fingerprints and other data. The person in charge was making a phone call outside when he saw Huangfu Jue approaching, and he immediately came over eagerly.

"Duke, I’m truly sorry for the inconvenience at this late hour, sir!"

This was no small matter. An assassination had taken place at F Country’s Presidential Palace, targeting the future King of A Country, F Country’s most esteemed guest. Not just the person in charge, but even the President himself was probably having trouble sleeping tonight.

It had been a struggle to finalize the cooperation between the two countries, with the signing almost in effect, when this unexpected incident occurred. Thankfully, Huangfu Jue was unharmed; otherwise, the matter would have been of great significance.

"Any leads?"

"We are investigating as we speak, sir. Rest assured, as soon as we make any progress, we will notify you immediately."

Huangfu Jue gave a slight nod, glancing through the glass at the busy room inside, "I will arrange for someone to come and gather the information."

"Of course, no problem, we will fully cooperate."

There was no point in staying there any longer. Huangfu Jue turned to walk towards the other side of the emergency room. The person in charge personally escorted him up to Qian Xueying’s hospital room door and did not forget to instruct his men to guard the door carefully.

When Huangfu Jue entered the hospital room, Qian Xueying was lying face down on the bed, with a female nurse assisting her in attaching a new IV drip.

The butler Xiuyi waved his hand, and the nurse hurriedly left with a bow.

"Miss, the Duke has arrived!"

Qian Xueying had already heard the noise outside but pretended to be unaware and stayed lying down.

Her complexion was very pale, and with her furrowed brow and an expression of vulnerable weakness, along with the bloodstains on her arm that hadn’t been cleaned up, she did indeed seem pitiful.

Upon hearing the reminder from the butler, she immediately tried to get up, only to wince in pain, inhaling sharply with a pitiful look towards Huangfu Jue.
