C562 The Fog Was Thick

"Buns..."

"Sweet man, sweet man..."

From time to time, the sound of hawkers hawking their wares would ring out on the bustling streets. The streets of Gu Yang were always so noisy during the day, but Lee Zhuohua was walking on such a street at this moment, but he did not hear the sounds around him. His brows were tightly knitted, and he was thinking about what Chiang En had said when they were in the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce.

"Inhuman." These two words popped out of Lee Zhuohua's heart. When Chiang En told him about his guess, he only told Lee Zhuohua. The others could not hear what they said at the end.

When Lee Zhuohua heard these two words, his heart sank. He knew that Zhao Hanyan's whereabouts were most likely in danger.

Lee Zhuohua silently walked on the bustling street, and at this moment, Yun Fan did not recklessly buy anything anymore. Instead, he obediently followed behind Lee Zhuohua. His expression was no longer playful, and he had also become serious, which was rare.

Because he heard the conversation between Lee Zhuohua and Chiang En.

Inhuman.

This was also the true reason Yun Fan came to Gu Yang. Under the order of the Qian Yuan Academy Inner Palace, he had come to Gu Yang to investigate the matter of the Inhuman. He did not expect that this matter would involve someone related to Lee Zhuohua. Naturally, Yun Fan would not let go of such a clue.

"I'm afraid that friend of yours..." Yun Fan said when he saw Lee Zhuohua's serious expression.

"Without seeing it with my own eyes, you can't make any rash judgement. I believe that there will always be someone better than her." Lee Zhuohua also knew that his conversation with Chiang En would certainly be heard by Yun Fan, so he did not feel strange when he heard the other party's words, but he believed that Zhao Hanyan would be fine.

"It's not wrong for you to think that way, but there are some things that you better be mentally prepared for." Seeing Lee Zhuohua like this, Yun Fan could only shake his head.

When Lee Zhuohua heard this, his face was indifferent, but he still nodded his head. How could he not know?

In Chiang En's narration, after the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce closed its doors, the many chambers of commerce and even some families in the Ancient Sun Realm began to disappear. At first, these abnormalities were not noticed by anyone, but as more and more forces disappeared, more and more people noticed this matter.

When Chiang En first noticed this, he was also surprised. He wanted to find out the truth, but no matter how hard he tried, he always felt as if a layer of fog was covering his eyes and making him unable to see clearly what was in front of him.

And since the Guyang royal family didn't care, everyone was afraid that they would be the next to disappear.

The reason why Chiang En guessed that the disappearance of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce and many forces was related to the mutants was that half a month ago, a strange thing happened to the branch of the Jiang Family Chamber of Commerce.

At that time, the Zhao Family headquarters was collecting the accounts of the various branches according to custom, but although the data on one of the ledgers was not much different from the other ledgers, Chiang En still found some clues from the monthly business fluctuations of this branch.

He found that the business of the branch seemed to be in a constant state, which puzzled him. Normally it rose and fell, and not many chambers of commerce could maintain a constant state, let alone a branch.

At that time, Chiang En sent someone to check on the situation, but the person who went did not come back. There was only a letter that was sent back, written by the person who went to check, saying that he was going to leave and return to his hometown, hoping Chiang En would approve.

Such a letter made Chiang En realize that there was a problem with the branch. He secretly investigated through other means and found out that the people from the branch were no longer there. All the problems pointed to one point: Inhumans.

Chiang En had also told Lee Zhuohua these words. Chiang En felt that the disappearance of the various forces might have something to do with the Inhumans, and after Lee Zhuohua heard this, he fell into deep thought without saying a word.

In the end, after finding out that the matter of the Zhao Family Chamber of Commerce did not have anything to do with the Chiang Family, Lee Zhuohua brought Yun Fan and left the Chiang Family.

Speaking of the Inhumans, there had been a lot of people who knew about the Inhumans, but not a single person had really known about the Inhumans' origins.

The night before the disturbance of the mutants, Lee Zhuohua vaguely sensed a strange fluctuation from the direction of Ancient Yang Imperial Palace. After that, the mutants appeared.

Now that he thought about it, Lee Zhuohua's mind was also filled with fog, so he couldn't see what was covering Gu Yang.

"Gu Yang..." Lee Zhuohua looked in the direction of the palace with a deep gaze and muttered to himself.

"Alright, we have stayed outside for long enough. It is time to go back." At this moment, Yun Fan suddenly said.

"Alright." Lee Zhuohua nodded and did not refute.

After that, the two of them returned to the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace together. It was just that the two of them seemed to be thinking about the same thing.

After returning to the imperial palace, Lee Zhuohua returned to his own residence. After talking to Lee Zhuohua for a while, Yun Fan also walked towards other directions of the royal palace alone. He did not return to his own residence like Lee Zhuohua, not knowing what he was going to do.

...

"It seems that the matter of Gu Yang's mutants has been so serious that it has exceeded everyone's expectations. But why didn't the royal family take any action? This matter needs to be informed to the elders of the Inner Palace as soon as possible." After separating from Lee Zhuohua, Yun Fan walked towards the depths of the Ancient Yang Imperial Palace.

Logically speaking, as a member of the Qian Yuan Academy, he would be stopped by the guards of the Imperial Palace if he were to walk around freely in the Imperial Palace. However, no one had stopped him until now, as if someone had warned these guards in advance to let Yun Fan pass.

He walked through the halls from the main hall to the back hall, and finally stopped when he reached the deepest part of the palace. There was a quiet place.

This place was a forbidden area of the Gu Yang Imperial Family. Usually, except for the most important members of the royal family, no one was allowed to step foot here, but Yun Fan, an outsider, had come here, and no one knew what he was going to do.

In front of Yun Fan, there was a small latrine. It was purely made out of dead wood. This kind of building was in great harmony with the luxurious halls of the Imperial Palace. If one did not know that this was a forbidden area of the Gu Yang Imperial Family, one would probably be treated as a dilapidated thatched hut.

"Yun Fan requests an audience." Yun Fan stood in front of this broken thatched cottage and bowed respectfully. He spoke in a serious manner, and from the looks of it, the person in the house seemed to be extremely noble, so much so that even Yun Fan, who was normally fearless, lowered his head.

When Yun Fan's voice rang out, there was no reply. It was as if there was no one else here.

However, Yun Fan still maintained his salutation posture and did not do anything else, as if he was waiting for something.

After a long time.

"Come in."

A refined voice suddenly came from the room. It was clearly from the room, but it seemed to be ringing in one's ears, making it impossible to find out where the speaker was.

At the same time when the voice sounded, the door of the simple cottage slowly opened with a creak. They looked inside, but they couldn't see the inside clearly because of the light.

After Yun Fan heard the reply from the voice, he changed his actions and walked in. However, no matter how he looked at it, he seemed very serious.

Who was the person in the room?
