Chapter 353: There was Someone Else
After thinking about it for a few seconds, s.h.i.+ Yuting lowered his eyes as the corners of his mouth curled into a playful smile. “Well, does he want me to die? Then, I will give him a few more opportunities to do so then.”
Xiangyi could not help but feel a little puzzled as he saw the smile on s.h.i.+ Yuting’s face.
However, Xiangyi believed that s.h.i.+ Yuting would definitely have his own plans since he already said this.
“What about the other shot? Who fired the other shot?”
Xiangyi could not help but frown as soon as he heard s.h.i.+ Yuting’s question.
“Everyone’s attention was focused on you because someone had fired a gunshot at you, and you had fallen to the ground. As for the subsequent shot, many people did not know where the gunshot was fired from. The only certainty was the fact that the bullet must have been shot from Miss Zuo’s back.
However, when Xiangyi went to investigate the scene later, it was already a completely unrecognizable and messy scene. All that he found out was that there were none of their men standing behind Zuo Weiyi. Therefore, Xiangyi was certain that the person who fired that gunshot at Zuo Weiyi was not one of their own men.
Xiangyi had also asked Black Dragon and his men about the last gunshot that was fired. However, none of them fired that shot. The only shot that they had fired directly at s.h.i.+ Yuting was the gunshot fired by the hitman who had suddenly disappeared after the incident.
In fact, Black Dragon was also very surprised when he heard about this.
He really did not expect a hitman to be hiding amongst his own men. Moreover, this. .h.i.tman was actually trying to take s.h.i.+ Yuting’s life. Black Dragon could not help but shudder in fear as he thought about this.
The Speaker had sent him to follow s.h.i.+ Yuting because he did not want him to escape. However, the Speaker never intended for any of them to take his life!
After all, s.h.i.+ Yuting was the Speaker’s one and only grandson! He was the only one who had the s.h.i.+ family blood flowing in him!
“I am sorry, Mr. s.h.i.+ but I could not find out who fired that shot at Miss Zuo. None of Black Dragon’s subordinates or even I was standing behind Miss Zuo. I can only suspect that there was someone else who fired that shot at Miss Zuo.”
As soon as s.h.i.+ Yuting heard Xiangyi’s words, he frowned as he looked at Xiangyi and asked, “Someone else?”
Xiangyi nodded. “Yes. Even though I cannot be sure whether the bullet was directed at you or Miss Zuo, I know for certain that the gunshot was not fired by me or any of Black Dragon’s men. The undercover agent was also located to be on your right, so it would be completely impossible for him to fire that shot at Miss Zuo. Therefore, I cannot help but suspect that there is someone else who fired that last shot at Miss Zuo.”
However, Xiangyi did not know the ident.i.ty of the other party yet.
This was because the attack scene was already destroyed, and it was simply impossible for him to look directly into the matter to find the culprit.
There were either another hitman or…
There was another possibility that Xiangyi did not dare to bring up to s.h.i.+ Yuting.
Even though neither Xiangyi nor Black Dragon was in that position back then, there were two other people who were in the perfect position to fire that gunshot.
The first person was Gu Yansheng and the other person was Miss Tengtang Xi, who was seated in the black Bentley.
However, Xiangyi knew that Gu Yansheng was not carrying a pistol with him. Besides that, given his close friends.h.i.+p to Miss Zuo, it was completely impossible for him to be the shooter. As for Miss Tengtang Xi…
She hated Miss Zuo to the core and had all the reasons in the world to fire that shot at Miss Zuo.
However, since Tengtang Xi was sitting in the same car as s.h.i.+ Yuting, it would be absolutely impossible for her to be carrying a pistol on her. This was because s.h.i.+ Yuting had already been designated as the next presidential candidate and had a very important status and ident.i.ty. For this reason, everyone who was going to be in close contact with him would be thoroughly searched and checked before they could get close to him, and Tengtang Xi was no exception.
If Tengtang Xi really fired that last shot at Zuo Weiyi, then where did she get her pistol from?
Since he could not solve this puzzle and he did not witness it with his own eyes, Xiangyi did not dare to make any a.s.sumptions or express the suspicions that he had. After all, Tengtang Xi was the granddaughter of the Minister of Defense. How could an ordinary person like him say anything to accuse her of a crime without any concrete evidence?
