Song Yunxuan was right about it.
After arriving at the hotel in Harbor City for a short rest, Yuan Xi went to Gu Yiâs place with Ding Tong.
On the way, Ding Tong looked out of the window, feeling bored. She asked Yuan Xi with a smile, âXi, howâs the view?â
Yuan Xi was thinking about how it would be like when they saw Gu Yi.
He didnât care much about Ding Tongâs question. He answered, âYou like it?â
He just blurted it out, but Ding Tong was remarkably happy when she heard it.
She turned around to Yuan Xi, âXi, after we married, after things are all settled, how about we settle down in this city?â
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, âYou can choose anywhere but not here. It is not a good place.â
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, âDo you think Gu Yi will like it?â
Ding Tong looked at the box, frowning, âWhat the hell is in it? You didnât even let me have a look.â
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 Changleâs heart easily with jewelry.
Gu Changle did him a big favor.
As for Gu Yi...
He lowered his eyes slightly.
Ding Tong said, âGu Yi wonât live long. Why do you waste money on a gift for him?â
âIt is precisely because he canât live long. We need to make him talk quickly. Heâs 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.â
âAs long as you let me do the asking, I can make him talk.â
Ding Tong was extremely confident.
Yuan Xi frowned, âI can spare you on what you did to White Dragon King, but you canât mess with Gu Yi.â
âWhat if I did?â
âThen I wonât marry you.â
What Yuan Xi said really put Ding Tong off.
Ding Tongâs mouth curled slightly, âYou can do the asking If you want. I wonât interfere.â
âGood.â
Yuan Xi nodded. He was satisfied with her answer.
âWhy didnât Gu Changle come with us?â
Ding Tong asked Yuan Xi.
Yuan Xi said, âI didnât let her.â
âWhy?â
Ding Tong was puzzled.
Yuan Xi said, âGu Yi hates her. If we were with her, Gu Yi wouldnât say a word.â
Ding Tong couldnât help laughing, âIndeed. After all, she killed Gu Yiâs sister. I wonder if heâs already known about it.â
âHe wouldnât happen to know.â
Yuan Xi guessed.
Ding Tong felt curious, âI thought Gu Changle would pass Gu Miaomiaoâs death to Gu Yi and intensify the relationship between Gu Yi and Shao Tianze as soon as it happened.â
âNo, someone is protecting Gu Yi. The news sent from Gu Changle was blocked.â
âProtecting him?â
Ding Tong was confused. She couldnât figure out who was protecting him for a while.
Seeing she was puzzled, Yuan Xi explained, âShao Xue is married to the Luo Family.â
âYou mean Luo Xi?â
Ding Tong frowned.
âYes,â Yuan Xi said, âI heard that Luo Xi is very fond of her. Even old Mr. Luo is fully satisfied with her.â
âSpeaking of it, itâs 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?â
âSomeone was certainly behind it.â
Ding Tong raised her eyebrows, âWho is it?â
âThink about it, once Shao Xue married Luo Xi, the Luo Family turned against the Shao Family. Who wins?â
âItâs only good for Shao Xue.â
Ding Tong said it calmly.
âThe 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.â
Ding Tong realized something, âYou mean, Song Yunxuan is the one behind the scenes?â
Yuan Xi did not nod or shook his head.
Ding Tong couldnât help frowning, âSong Yunxuan is indeed difficult to deal with. But it suggests that there is a lot of connection between Gu Changge and her.ân/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
âWe can have something on her and take her down only when White Dragon King wakes up.â
âBut itâs impossible for him to talk within half a month.â
âIf you want to take down such a difficult woman like Song Yunxuan, so what if you have to wait for another half a month?â
Yuan Xi was patient, but Ding Tong was still skeptical.
âThings can change in half a month. Why donât we ask others instead?â
âWho?â
Yuan Xi raised an eyebrow.
Ding Tong said, âI mean, we can ask Xuanshui Dragon King.â
âXuanshui Dragon King...â Yuan Xi chanted the name, pondered for a moment, and said, âHeâs 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.â
Yuan Xi was cautious.
Ding Tong had to suppress this thought, âYou wanna wait for half a month, then wait.â
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 Changgeâs 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 couldnât 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, âItâs no use of just worrying.â
âYuan Xi and Ding Tong targeted Yi. He must be in trouble.â
âIt wonât be that fast.â
âDidnât Gu Changle come here, too?â Shao Xue clenched her hands together, frowning, âItâs Gu Changle, not Shao Tianze. It means that Shao Tianze has given up on Yi. Gu Changle must come here to kill Yi.â
âWe wonât let them. You have the Luo Family on your back, and me. We wonât allow them to make any trouble.â
âBut Yiâs servants...â
Shao Xue was still worried.
Zang Linger heard Shao Xue mentioned Yiâs servants.
She replied, âThey have been replaced.â
âWhat?â Shao Xue suspected that she hadnât heard her right. She looked at Zang Linger, looking puzzled.
Zang Linger said, âYiâs previous servants that Shao Tianze and Gu Changle sent had been replaced by our people.â
Shao Xue was surprised at their speed.
âDoes Yi know about this?â
âMaybe yes, and maybe no.â Zang Linger frowned, âWe didnât tell him about this, but the servants were all changed. He should be able to detect something. He just didnât say it out.â
He was Gu Changgeâs son.
Zang Linger believed that he was careful and cautious enough.
Hearing Zang Lingerâs words, Shao Xue went quiet a little bit.
At this moment, a question came to her mind, âYou and Yunxuan replaced Yiâs servants just to protect him?â
âOf course not.â Zang Lingerâs eyelashes drooped slightly.
A cunning and vicious light flashed in her eyes.
âThe Yuan Family committed a lot of crimes, especially Ding Tong. Although she wasnât involved in Miaomiaoâs death directly, she was the planner. Yunxuan wonât let her get away with it.â
Speaking of Miaomiaoâs death, Shao Xue felt sad, âHas Yunxuan checked it out?â
âYunxuan is not the type who does things after she finds out everything.â
âWhat type is she?â
âShe 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.â
Hearing that, Shao Xue frowned, âAre Yuan Xi and Ding Tong doomed in Harbor City?â
âRoughly the same.â
Zang Linger smiled. She did not really care if they were alive or dead.
