Chapter 91 Doubt

In fact, Gu Ye had suspected something was wrong from the very beginning, for no other reason than that everything was going too smoothly.

Davis wanted to use hybrids for experiments, so he first attacked some women, and then used this as an excuse to issue a bounty mission for himself. At the same time, he teamed up with other accomplices to catch all the hybrid hunters in one fell swoop. This seems to be in line with logical reasoning.

Kassel College got the information about Davis' deal with the dangerous hybrids. Gu Ye joined the hunters because of the overlapping goals. The development of the matter was like a tight gear running in an orderly manner, provided that Gu Ye did not notice the guy behind Ron...

If we consider each matter individually, there seems to be no problem at all, but once we speculate that certain people are targeting us, the loopholes in all of this become obvious.

It just so happened that an old hunter wanted to form a team, it just so happened that the enemy in the first mission would drive the hybrids into madness, and it just so happened that I saved the old ghost who formed the team. If so many coincidences come together, it is no longer a coincidence, but something that is bound to happen.

After sneaking into the villa for the second time, the enemy changed to a guy who had the ability to restrain fire and possessed the Eye of the Wind King. This was simply putting the word "targeted" in Gu Ye's face.

Of course, Gu Ye would not alert the enemy, but deliberately made a wrong inference during the battle. The reason why these guys went to such great lengths to set up the trap was probably because they thought they had not discovered them hiding in the shadows, so Gu Ye chose to obey their plan.

While showing off his strength, Gu Ye made them mistakenly believe that they only wanted to attack the mixed-blood hunters, without realizing what their real purpose was.

I believe that after Gu Ye let them go this time, if Davis wants to target me again he can only call some more powerful guys from that group. Maybe next time Gu Ye can take advantage of the situation to find out the real mastermind behind the scenes.

But there was another reason. Gu Ye wanted to see if Lao Gui was an undercover agent of that group of guys as he imagined. He was lucky to have survived twice in a row, but he happened not to be affected by the words. And the accident happened when he was about to catch Davis. It didn't seem normal no matter how he looked at it.

It was obvious that Lao Gui's performance was too deliberate, which also made Gu Ye have new doubts. If he knew that he was Cassel's student, he should not have said what he just said, right?
The words of revenge just now would only resonate with guys who are also hunters. After all, one tried desperately to complete the task only to find out that it was actually the person who issued the task who wanted to rob the robbers. If Gu Ye was a hunter, he would definitely not think there was anything wrong with the old ghost wanting revenge.

But from the perspective of someone other than a hunter, the problem is huge. Not to mention that Lao Gui has a mother to support, just saying that he wants revenge because of a gangster is not in line with his character. Of course, only if you step out of the hunter's identity can you see that something is wrong. After all, he obviously regarded Gu Ye as a hunter and deliberately drew out Gu Ye's anger.

It seems that there is only one answer, that is, Lao Gui may also be a pawn they are using, and they may have only told Lao Gui to lead the hunters here to die, and did not tell him Gu Ye's information.

This could explain why Lao Gui suddenly said such a thing, and also why he readily agreed to let him return to the villa. Until now, Gu Ye still didn't believe that Lao Gui helped him because he was filial.

"This kind of person really deserves to die. Senior Laogui, how are you going to make him pay the price?" Gu Ye asked calmly.

"Lin Bei also knows some hunters. Since he can rob his fellow hunters, why can't we?" The old ghost turned his head and looked at Gu Ye, with a hint of cunning in his eyes.

"We may not be able to get the bounty, but other hunters don't know that. When we catch Davis, we will just kill him and then sell the body to other hunters at a low price. This way, we can get revenge and make a little profit." It has to be said that Lao Gui's arrangement is flawless.

"I'm not interested in revenge... I almost died in the basement just now, so let's just forget it." Gu Ye sighed and glanced at the old ghost.

"Stop! Young man..." After hearing what Gu Ye said, Lao Gui hurriedly spoke up to stop him and started to make promises for him.

"Didn't you say they have an alchemical tool? This thing is not cheap. Even if someone else kills Davis and gets the $100,000 reward, we only need this alchemical tool to earn it back." "How much is it worth?" Gu Ye looked at Lao Gui with pretended interest.

"At least 30 US dollars!" The old ghost stretched out three fingers, a hint of greed on his face.

"Let other hunters go first. If there are more people, Davis's accomplice may reappear. Then it will be our turn to take action."

"As expected of you, Senior Laogui. You figured out a way to stop the loss so quickly." Gu Ye praised.

"Don't you see who Lin Bei is! Okay, take me back first, I will contact other hunters on the platform in the evening." The old ghost laughed triumphantly.

"Then everything depends on you, Senior Laogui." Gu Ye nodded and started the jeep.

"Mom, why did you come out?" After returning to Lao Gui's apartment, Lao Gui was about to open the door when he saw his mother not far away, so he quickly came to her and spoke.

"I just woke up not long ago and wanted to take a walk. I'm getting old... I can't sleep that much anymore." The old man sighed softly.

"Your health is not good, so you'd better not walk around. It's not safe here recently." Lao Gui squatted down, tidied the old woman's clothes, and sent her back home.

The scene in front of him made Gu Ye a little confused. Lao Gui now acted as if he really trusted Gu Ye, otherwise he would not have brought Gu Ye back to his home again. The old man in front of him did not seem like a tool used by Lao Gui to confuse him. After all, the worry in Lao Gui's eyes did not seem fake.

But if that was the case, why would Lao Gui choose to cooperate with Davis? Wasn't he afraid that he would attack his mother after he found out? Obviously, Lao Gui was just a hybrid who hadn't even awakened his Word Spirit.

"Go and take care of the wound first. I'm going to gather some information later. Do you want to come with me?" After settling his old mother down, Lao Gui asked Gu Ye.

"Okay, let's go together." Gu Ye nodded. He was still waiting for Davis' plan to continue. If Lao Gui was an undercover agent, then Davis would definitely appear again.

"Senior Laogui... why are you so confident in bringing me to your house?" Gu Ye asked as he and Laogui walked towards the black clinic they had visited last time.

"My mother's illness is getting worse. She is most worried about me and wants me to make more friends. So every time I bring home some hunter companions who look okay, at least to let her know that there are still people taking care of her son outside." The old ghost answered softly.

Is that so? Gu Ye looked at the profile of Lao Gui. The dejected expression on his face did not seem fake, as if he was really afraid that his mother would worry.

I am increasingly confused about what you are thinking, Senior Old Ghost...
