Seeing the scrutinizing gaze of Old Master Liang, Yang Xiaoyou couldn't help but feel a chill run down her spine. The expression on his face suggested that he truly recognized her and Luo Guohui from somewhere.
Moreover, his murmured words, devoid of any pretense, about some past life connection made Yang Xiaoyou feel a tightening sensation in her chest.
To be honest, the relationship between her and Luo Guohui in that past life was indeed complicated and entangled.
When he saved her in Kapa City, his outward demeanor had planted a seed in her heart; he could be considered her mentor without exaggeration.
However, due to the irreconcilable positions of both sides, their encounters were often more confrontational than friendly, creating a situation that was truly tangled and chaotic.
She still didn't know what kind of relationship she had with Luo Guohui.
Thinking about how Old Master Liang seemed to have feelings for both of them, the only possible moment for such an intersection must have been during their last encounter when she and Luo Guohui tested their strengths against each other.
Due to the resonance between both sides, her yet-to-be-fully-controlled inner persona erupted with full force, creating a certain entanglement with him. This powerful force even had a direct impact on the present world, making it somewhat understandable that someone of Old Master Liang's caliber could sense it.
It was worth noting that Luo Guohui, one of the parties involved, had yet to realize what had transpired during their confrontation. Meanwhile, Liang Sicheng, as an observer, had already made his judgment. One could imagine that despite his old age, his understanding had reached a terrifying level.
Of course, being an observer likely contributed to his ability to make such judgments directly.
Seeing that he had no intention of exposing anything, Yang Xiaoyou felt relieved. Otherwise, she wouldn't have known how to approach someone as complexly related to her as the White House Correspondent.
Now, because of the sense of responsibility he exhibited, he could become a reliable ally in this matter.
There was no reason for Yang Xiaoyou to dismiss someone of this caliber.
Knowing that she had injured that assassin during a surprise attack meant that Luo Guohui would have a rough estimate of her strength. However, due to the mismatch between attack and defense at the Momentum Level for martial artists, he could only ascertain that she had reached that level. Without witnessing it firsthand, he couldn't make further judgments.
The fellow who managed to absorb the impact during her surprise attack could only be someone with such unique speed; even if Luo Guohui were in that position, he likely wouldn't have performed better than that assassin.
At the same time, Yang Xiaoyou felt immense pressure from the Common Unity Party for being able to dispatch such terrifyingly strong assassins.
However, Luo Guohui had his own requirements. Since he could only participate in a private capacity, he made it clear that he would not attack members of the Chinese Empire's political parties; his target was solely the non-Official armed forces.
Regarding this, both the Hive Security Company and the Liang Family had no objections. With such a trump card on their side, they could ensure that if the opposing side truly had such powerful figures, they would not appear too passive.
After they had briefly outlined a framework, someone came to report on the interrogation investigation of the assassin, presenting the first-hand information.
Indeed, he had entered the banquet through very normal means—so normal that it was quite surprising—under the identity of an attendant of the Royal Third Prince.
In this situation, the 'high-status' and 'respected' Third Prince was 'politely' invited here for a joint investigation.
Upon learning about the specifics of the incident, the Third Prince, who had already been stripped of power and appeared somewhat sickly, turned even paler, truly wearing a face full of despair.
"Aside from the fact that he entered with the Third Prince, we also discovered a rather ominous phenomenon. It seems that to eliminate any temptations during mission execution, the assassin was castrated. Undoubtedly, such a level of strong individual is bound by such constraints; their organization is likely more tightly knit than we can imagine." The intelligence officer who came to report pondered for a moment before delivering news that sent chills down everyone's spines.
Although it seemed like there were connections to eunuchs and royalty, which should be quite strong, the practice of 'eunuchs' had been abolished over a century ago. The weakened royal family here clearly served as a scapegoat.
This was one of their purposes for existence; various conflicts were often pinned on them.
Among the slogans put forth by the Common Unity Party, one that resonated loudly and was likely the easiest to implement was to abolish the emperor.
