บท 215: Rumor

Zhong Heng told Gu Shenwei the whole story:

Wei Lingmiao came to Jade City three years ago, before his father, the current governor, had taken office. He hanged out with a group of dandies in the city and showed great interest in killers and their business. As he repeatedly expressed his desire to witness the process of an assassination, one of his friends, the Fourth Young Master Meng, decided to help him fulfill his wish and introduced him to the Eighth Young Master of Golden Roc Fort, Shangguan Nu. The details of their relationship were unclear, but what was known was that Wei Lingmiao partook in an assassination mission. Shangguan Nu intended to impress Master Wei with his perfect assassination skills, so he deliberately slowed down the process. Unfortunately, this decision allowed some of his targets to flee. Master Wei chased them along with Shangguan Nu, as the Eight Young Master promised to let him kill his own fiancée, Gu Cuilan.
