Gu Beichen had learned a little about keeping his temper in check, but concealing his expressions... he still wasn't very good at that.
Especially after he had stared at Xu Le's composite portrait for so long. Wang Qing, beside him, had already noticed something amiss.
"What's wrong? Do you know this man, Mr. Gu Beichen?"
Although Gu Beichen often felt like stabbing Xu Le to death, they were brothers who had faced life and death together, after all. Naturally, he couldn't sell his brother out at a time like this. He said instinctively:
"No, I don't. He just looks like he deserves a beating. Why? Does he owe you a lot of money?"
Wang Qing's expression was rather strange, too. Could Gu Beichen really know Xiong Nuo'an?
If they really knew each other, that would be a promising lead.
Originally, he had planned to obtain information about Xu Le from Gan, but Gan was utterly unyielding. He couldn't get a word out of him.
So he could only search for Xu Le through tiny clues. For instance, Xiong Nuo'an's mask had allowed him to establish that the man was probably somewhere in Zion.
Wang Qing knew that Xiong Nuo'an was definitely a very important figure, and a suspicious one at that.
Because there was absolutely no way eight people could appear in the Land of Fate.
"No. I met Mr. Xiong once before, and we hit it off immediately. But we didn't leave each other any reliable way to stay in touch, so I wanted to commission experts from the Red Moon Holy Temple to help find him."
Wang Qing spoke very politely, because he felt Gu Beichen's reaction just now had been quite obvious. He might really have some connection to Xu Le. That was an intelligent person's assessment.
