Chapter 769 Visit Gu Yi
Song Yunxuan was right about it.
After arriving at the hotel in Harbor City for a short rest, Yuan Xi went to Gu Yi’s place with Ding Tong.
On the way, Ding Tong looked out of the window, feeling bored. She asked Yuan Xi with a smile, “Xi, how’s the view?”
Yuan Xi was thinking about how it would be like when they saw Gu Yi.
He didn’t care much about Ding Tong’s question. He answered, “You like it?”
He just blurted it out, but Ding Tong was remarkably happy when she heard it.
She turned around to Yuan Xi, “Xi, after we married, after things are all settled, how about we settle down in this city?”
They were not from Harbor City or Yuncheng. That was why they liked seaside cities like Harbor City.
Ding Tong enjoyed the humid air here.
As well as the salty taste in the wind on the seaside road.
She aspired to live with the one she loved in such a place forever.
But Yuan Xi had no interest in this, “You can choose anywhere but not here. It is not a good place.”
They were rich enough to settle in any place they liked in the world.
Parise, Londonn, the great New Yerk, or places with strong folk customs such as the Natherlands and Swedan that were sparsely populated. They could choose any one of them.
However, although they could afford it, it was not high time to settle down.
Yuan Xi lowered his eyes. He looked at the gift box next to him, asking Ding Tong, “Do you think Gu Yi will like it?”
Ding Tong looked at the box, frowning, “What the hell is in it? You didn’t even let me have a look.”
Yuan Xi was a man of scheming and courtesy.
Everyone had things they liked.
He could get the favor of them by catering to their pleasure. It could make difficult things easier.
He was accustomed to bringing a gift whenever he was going to visit someone.
Therefore, he inquired about their preferences before he visited Gu Changle and Gu Yi.
And he picked a gift that they might like.
Gu Changle was fond of jewelry. He captured Gu Changle’s heart easily with jewelry.
Gu Changle did him a big favor.
As for Gu Yi…
He lowered his eyes slightly.
Ding Tong said, “Gu Yi won’t live long. Why do you waste money on a gift for him?”
“It is precisely because he can’t live long. We need to make him talk quickly. He’s just a little boy, but he has become a threat to Shao Tianze. That is to say, he is very smart. He might have guessed it and decided to close his mouth and bring those secrets into his coffin.”
“As long as you let me do the asking, I can make him talk.”
Ding Tong was extremely confident.
Yuan Xi frowned, “I can spare you on what you did to White Dragon King, but you can’t mess with Gu Yi.”
“What if I did?”
“Then I won’t marry you.”
What Yuan Xi said really put Ding Tong off.
Ding Tong’s mouth curled slightly, “You can do the asking If you want. I won’t interfere.”
“Good.”
Yuan Xi nodded. He was satisfied with her answer.
“Why didn’t Gu Changle come with us?”
Ding Tong asked Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi said, “I didn’t let her.”
“Why?”
Ding Tong was puzzled.
Yuan Xi said, “Gu Yi hates her. If we were with her, Gu Yi wouldn’t say a word.”
Ding Tong couldn’t help laughing, “Indeed. After all, she killed Gu Yi’s sister. I wonder if he’s already known about it.”
“He wouldn’t happen to know.”
Yuan Xi guessed.
Ding Tong felt curious, “I thought Gu Changle would pass Gu Miaomiao’s death to Gu Yi and intensify the relationship between Gu Yi and Shao Tianze as soon as it happened.”
“No, someone is protecting Gu Yi. The news sent from Gu Changle was blocked.”
“Protecting him?”
Ding Tong was confused. She couldn’t figure out who was protecting him for a while.
Seeing she was puzzled, Yuan Xi explained, “Shao Xue is married to the Luo Family.”
“You mean Luo Xi?”
Ding Tong frowned.
“Yes,” Yuan Xi said, “I heard that Luo Xi is very fond of her. Even old Mr. Luo is fully satisfied with her.”
“Speaking of it, it’s strange that Luo Xi married Shao Xue. The Luo Family is in Harbor City. As far as I know, they have no business connection with the Shao Family, let alone personal contact. Why did Luo Xi suddenly marry Shao Xue?”
“Someone was certainly behind it.”
Ding Tong raised her eyebrows, “Who is it?”
“Think about it, once Shao Xue married Luo Xi, the Luo Family turned against the Shao Family. Who wins?”
“It’s only good for Shao Xue.”
Ding Tong said it calmly.
“The marriage was originally meant to protect Shao Xue. Now the Luo family is willing to protect Gu Yi for Shao Xue. In this way, it is good for that woman.”
Ding Tong realized something, “You mean, Song Yunxuan is the one behind the scenes?”
Yuan Xi did not nod or shook his head.
Ding Tong couldn’t help frowning, “Song Yunxuan is indeed difficult to deal with. But it suggests that there is a lot of connection between Gu Changge and her.”
“We can have something on her and take her down only when White Dragon King wakes up.”
“But it’s impossible for him to talk within half a month.”
“If you want to take down such a difficult woman like Song Yunxuan, so what if you have to wait for another half a month?”
Yuan Xi was patient, but Ding Tong was still skeptical.
“Things can change in half a month. Why don’t we ask others instead?”
“Who?”
Yuan Xi raised an eyebrow.
Ding Tong said, “I mean, we can ask Xuanshui Dragon King.”
“Xuanshui Dragon King…” Yuan Xi chanted the name, pondered for a moment, and said, “He’s close to White Dragon King. What we did to White Dragon King has not been found out yet. But as long as we inquire Xuanshui Dragon King about this matter, we will reveal ourselves. It is better not to make trouble at this point.”
Yuan Xi was cautious.
Ding Tong had to suppress this thought, “You wanna wait for half a month, then wait.”
Yuan Xi nodded.
They got closer and closer to where Gu Yi lived.
Yuan Xi looked better.
A minute afterward, he would take a good look at how smart Gu Changge’s son was.
…
Zang Linger was the first one who learned that Yuan Xi and Ding Tong went to visit Gu Yi.
Then Song Yunxuan and Shao Xue got to know it soon.
Shao Xue couldn’t calm down. She kept walking back and forth in the living room of the Luo House.
Zang Linger had planned to visit Song Yunxuan today.
She put the visiting off when she learned about the news.
Zang Linger sat in the living room, watching Shao Xue walking back and forth as if she had ants in her pants, “It’s no use of just worrying.”
“Yuan Xi and Ding Tong targeted Yi. He must be in trouble.”
“It won’t be that fast.”
“Didn’t Gu Changle come here, too?” Shao Xue clenched her hands together, frowning, “It’s Gu Changle, not Shao Tianze. It means that Shao Tianze has given up on Yi. Gu Changle must come here to kill Yi.”
“We won’t let them. You have the Luo Family on your back, and me. We won’t allow them to make any trouble.”
“But Yi’s servants…”
Shao Xue was still worried.
Zang Linger heard Shao Xue mentioned Yi’s servants.
She replied, “They have been replaced.”
“What?” Shao Xue suspected that she hadn’t heard her right. She looked at Zang Linger, looking puzzled.
Zang Linger said, “Yi’s previous servants that Shao Tianze and Gu Changle sent had been replaced by our people.”
Shao Xue was surprised at their speed.
“Does Yi know about this?”
“Maybe yes, and maybe no.” Zang Linger frowned, “We didn’t tell him about this, but the servants were all changed. He should be able to detect something. He just didn’t say it out.”
He was Gu Changge’s son.
Zang Linger believed that he was careful and cautious enough.
Hearing Zang Linger’s words, Shao Xue went quiet a little bit.
At this moment, a question came to her mind, “You and Yunxuan replaced Yi’s servants just to protect him?”
“Of course not.” Zang Linger’s eyelashes drooped slightly.
A cunning and vicious light flashed in her eyes.
“The Yuan Family committed a lot of crimes, especially Ding Tong. Although she wasn’t involved in Miaomiao’s death directly, she was the planner. Yunxuan won’t let her get away with it.”
Speaking of Miaomiao’s death, Shao Xue felt sad, “Has Yunxuan checked it out?”
“Yunxuan is not the type who does things after she finds out everything.”
“What type is she?”
“She would rather kill all just for one. Yunxuan has suspected Ding Tong, but she has no evidence to prove it. She knew that Ding Tong instigated and assisted Gu Changle to commit the murder. So she must have thought of something when she learned that they came here to visit Gu Yi.”
Hearing that, Shao Xue frowned, “Are Yuan Xi and Ding Tong doomed in Harbor City?”
“Roughly the same.”
Zang Linger smiled. She did not really care if they were alive or dead.
