Bab 185: Chapter 161: The Hidden Threat

"Cao Ying!" Luo Feng spoke in a heavy voice.

"Cao Ying?" Upon hearing this name, Gu Chen's face immediately showed confusion. He simply could not recall who this person was.

Mainly because he had killed too many people. With so many dead by his hands, how could he possibly remember every single name?

Seeing this, Luo Feng could only sigh and explained, "Brother Gu, this Cao Ying was the bodyguard of Cao Zhen, sent by the Marquis of Pingxi to protect him."

Hearing this, Gu Chen immediately understood who Cao Ying was.

On his way from Tiandu to Qiongtian Mansion, Cao Ying had led a group to ambush him but was subsequently slain by Gu Chen.

Since Cao Ying placed a bounty on him at the Blood Clothing Tower, it couldn't have been his own idea. It must have been Cao Zhen's order.

With this realization, Gu Chen thought, Cao Zhen's death wasn't unjust. He had harbored the intention to kill Gu Chen long ago.
