Chapter 216: Cultivator with Foreknowledge
Chapter 216: Cultivator with Foreknowledge
The old man broke the silence: "This Miss Gu sounds very interesting."
"Yes." Yu Qingli did not refute.
He understood his father and knew that his father had developed a strong interest in Miss Gu.
Moreover, seeing the flicker of light in the old man’s eyes, Yu Qingli always felt it was like when he was schemed against as a child.
He was always mischievous as a child, and the old man always combined the stick with his schemes, which often left him at a disadvantage.
It wasn’t just that, after the old man schemed against him, he always made him genuinely convinced.
Old Yu twirled the cane in his hand and said lightly, "Contact this Miss Gu after daybreak, I haven’t met such an interesting person in many years."
After hearing Qiu Qianghai’s driver say that Miss Gu had warned Qianghai not to drive and to stay indoors, the old man thought of many things.
The first thing that came to his mind was, Cultivators.
In Hua Country, there is a small group of people who walk in unknown realms, possessing strange skills and abilities, belonging to various families and different powers.
This small group consists of Cultivators.
Back then, he was a seasoned veteran who carried arms and fought against rebels, knowing that the reason Your Majesty can successfully rule and topple those trying to usurp is precisely because of the foreknowledge provided by the Cultivators.
The old man speculated about Qianghai’s car accident; Miss Gu was either the mastermind behind it or a Cultivator with foreknowledge abilities.
If it’s the former, she’s unforgivable; if it’s the latter, the old man’s heart was slightly excited.
...
Qingshan Village.
The next day, Gu Jin got up early in the morning.
There was nothing much happening at home now; her aunt knew where to buy cheap grain, and the rest was about how to get through the difficult months, believing the family didn’t need her worries.
She decided to leave today with An Mingji, returning to Wanhai City to tidy up the house properly and prepare for school necessities.
This time, it was still Gu Jiajie who saw Gu Jin off.
At the moment of parting at the station, Gu Jin smiled and said, "Jie, if things at home are settled, you want to open a hotpot restaurant, just take a trip to Chuan City, maybe you’ll find a good recipe for the base."
Hearing her mention the hotpot restaurant, Gu Jiajie licked his dry lips.
He nodded: "Okay, once the family is settled and free, I’ll go with Yuanzi and Wuren."
"Alright, I bought a phone, call me if anything comes up."
Gu Jin repeated her phone number.
After noting the phone number, Gu Jiajie nodded: "Okay, I got it."
Gu Jin and An Mingji boarded the vehicle and left.
Watching the departing vehicle, Gu Jiajie’s expression showed uncontrollable excitement, and he couldn’t wait to discuss the upcoming trip to Chuan City with Yuanzi and Wuren.
...
Wanhai City.
Yu Qingli had spent most of last night in the hospital with his wife and held an emergency meeting the next day.
By the time he finally quieted down, it was already noon.
Sitting at his desk, reaching up to rub his sore eyes, Yu Qingli felt exhausted.
There were too many matters recently, especially with the old leader about to step down, many issues surfaced.
Yu Qingli clearly felt that recently, many things targeted him, even trivial matters could be as problematic as trivial as they might seem but posed potential threats to him.
He knew all of this was the handiwork of an old rival, all for the only voice of power in Wanhai City.
