I Refuse to Be a Supporting Character
Chapter 98: The Suspect
After helping Mu Mingcheng snack on fruits and water, he wondered if he should also give him a bowl of porridge. Gu Jin warned himself not to hold the porridge bowl too close if he accidentally dropped it. What would he do if the wound got worse?
When the bowl of porridge was emptied, the doorbell rang once more.
Instead of going to the door, Gu Jin shouted, “Please enter.”
“Lady.” The driver, Old Liu, walked in and nodded towards Gu Jin before facing Mu Mingcheng.
“Did you find out who did it?” Mu Mingcheng looked at Assistant Fang coldly and asked. It had been a long time since he had suffered such a huge loss.
“The opposing side hides their tracks very well, so we can't figure it out.” Old Liu stood tall and reported obediently: “But surely one of them is a professional killer.”
This man did not behave like an ordinary driver at all.
Gu Jin was not surprised. From that day on when Old Liu escorted him to the Jing Banquet under Mu Mingcheng's arrangements, Gu Jin had already guessed that his identity was not simple.
He said that he had worked for Mu Mingcheng for five years while Master Mu himself had only inherited Mu's company three years ago. During those two extra years, Mu Mingcheng still contributed to the country.
And when Mu Mingcheng was saved from danger and taken to the hospital, Old Liu asked him many questions about the situation back then.
His thorough questioning and attention to detail certainly goes beyond what a typical driver would consider. Since he was present during that difficult time, Gu Jin felt confident for their safety.
But when she heard him report about a professional assassin, her heart remained in awe.
If he remembered it correctly, Mu Mingcheng protected him from being shot. Otherwise, the person lying on this hospital bed was him.
Or he might have served tea to Yan Wang yesterday.

So someone deliberately planned to kill him?
This guess caused Gu Jin's feet to turn cold. He had subconsciously created a fierce enemy for himself.
Is that Shao Chong? Cheng Xin's? Or maybe Jing Hao?
Shao Chong was reborn and still had the delusion of chasing after his original owner, so he would not be held responsible. Cheng Xin did not have the resources to commit murder.
As for Jing Hao…
Gu Jin guessed his name a few times but ended up excluding him from the list. Even though he had humiliated Jing Hao, he was still an arrogant and arrogant man. If he wanted to retaliate, he would choose to do so openly in front of the person. He would definitely not strike back in the shadows.
Who is the enemy behind the scenes?
The original novel revolves around the male and female protagonists, but there are several supporting roles around them. Mu Mingcheng went abroad during this period, but whether he was killed or not in the books remains unknown.
Moreover, ever since he crossed over to this world and Shao Chong was reborn, the original novel had long since lost its value as a reference.
While Gu Jin was pondering, Mu Mingcheng had already relayed his orders: “There are two suspects. One of the killers must be 'K'. Go set someone up to check what recent tasks he or she just received. ”
“Ya.” Old Liu left after that.
“Ah,” Mu Mingcheng chuckled. His face revealed a cold aura that could not be removed.
It seemed like he had been away from Jiang Hu for too long. Some people had forgotten who he really was and even dared to raise a finger at him.
Upon seeing his expression, Gu Jin had some conjectures. Although Mu Mingcheng did not say who the culprit was, the two thought of a certain person.
“Young master, do you want to tell your parents, Mr and Mrs Mu?” Assistant Fang asked.
“Alright,” replied Mu Mingcheng, “I want them to prepare for what is to come.” His gaze turned to Gu Jin.
