The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker

Chapter 450 - 418 Yunzhong Building......

"Wow, these flowers smell really nice.""This grass is so green."

"The sky is so blue today."

"Why is the air so fresh today?"

"Why do these stones look so pretty?"

Qiao Yuxian wandered around the Gu Mansion’s backyard, finding everything exceptionally attractive and pleasing to the eye.

Even the green worms on the leaves seemed very cute to her.

All because when Gu Linhai left, he was so angry, yet couldn’t refute, and had to hold it in.

As soon as Gu Linhai left, Qiao Yuxian couldn’t help but burst into laughter.

Laughing while patting Gu Yanjing’s arm.

Perhaps Gu Linhai and Meng Qian heard it.

Gu Yanjing watched Qiao Yuxian happily touch things here and there in the backyard. He was happy too.

"Gu Yanjing, these flowers are so beautiful." Qiao Yuxian squatted on the ground looking at him, "Dig a couple to Jingyu Garden."

"Sure."

"Then, dig a couple of these purple ones too." Qiao Yuxian said.

"Can do." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian smiled at him and continued to tug at those purple flowers.

Gu Yanjing stood beside her, gazing down at her.

After a while, Gu Yanjing’s phone rang.

Qiao Yuxian looked up at him again.

Gu Yanjing took out his phone to see, it was Su Qi calling.

As the phone connected, Su Qi said, "Mr. Gu, Chu Shaohe and the others have all gone to the Chu Mansion."

Gu Yanjing’s eyes moved slightly: "All of them went?"

"Yes."

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing reached out to her.

Qiao Yuxian placed her hand on his.

Gu Yanjing pulled her up and said to Su Qi, "Take some people to guard Zheng Ran at the hospital, and have Qin Xia go to the Chu Family."

"Yes." Su Qi answered and then added, "Mr. Gu, Xiao Zhe has arrived in the Capital City. He just left the airport and is heading towards the hospital, likely to find Miss Qin."

"Got it." Gu Yanjing said.

After hanging up, Qiao Yuxian asked, "Is there movement at the Chu Family?"

"Yes." Gu Yanjing said, "They’re all at the Chu Mansion."

"I heard someone went to the Chu Family company’s building yesterday but left shortly after." Qiao Yuxian said, "Seems like what they want isn’t at the company, so today, everyone’s gone to the mansion."

"Yes."

Qiao Yuxian pondered for a moment and said, "Madam Chu did it deliberately, intends to handle them at the Chu Mansion."

"Correct." Gu Yanjing tidied up her somewhat windblown hair.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him and said, "Are you going over?"

"Do I need to go over?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Qiao Yuxian chuckled and said, "No need, Qin Xia can handle it. But, I need to go over."

"Alright." Gu Yanjing said, "Let Shang Chen take you there. I need to deal with something else."

"Hmm?" Qiao Yuxian was a bit puzzled.

Gu Yanjing leaned down slightly, kissing the corner of her mouth, "Xiao Zhe is here."

Qiao Yuxian blinked her long lashes twice and said, "Blocking the rival for a brother."

Gu Yanjing said nothing, implicitly agreeing.

Qiao Yuxian gave him a thumbs-up and then said, "Once Chu Zhengran wakes up, have him treat you to his family’s most expensive tea."

"Alright."

"Alright then. Off you go." Qiao Yuxian brushed the soil off her hands and said, "You go help your brother, I go help my sister."

...

Qiao Yuxian went to the Chu Family to find Qin Xia, while Gu Yanjing went to the hospital to intercept Xiao Zhe.

Meanwhile, Gu Linhai and Meng Qian were silent for most of the way in the car on their way to the airport.

Gu Linhai’s temper had gotten increasingly foul recently, and Meng Qian dared not provoke him.

He remained silent, and Meng Qian also dared not speak.

Gu Linhai wore a gloomy face, silent for most of the way, creating an oppressive atmosphere inside the car that made it hard to breathe.

After a long while, Gu Linhai moved slightly, taking out his phone.

Seeing his action, Meng Qian turned her head to glance at him.

She watched as Gu Linhai scrolled through his contacts to Gu Zhengyu’s name.

Watching him hesitate for a moment, then dialed.

Soon, the other side connected, and Gu Linhai finally spoke the first normal-sounding sentence of the day. He said, "Brother, do you have time?"

Gu Zhengyu said, "Hmm, go ahead."

"I asked someone about Shu Luo’s matter. Got a reply just this morning." Gu Linhai said.

Gu Zhengyu’s tone instantly became much more serious, "What did they say?"

"They said it’s difficult to handle." Gu Linhai said.

"Why is it difficult?" Gu Zhengyu said, "Shu Luo isn’t Yan Zhiyao, he has nothing to do with Yan Zhiyao. If he admits he’s Yan Zhiyao, there must be something wrong. As long as it’s investigated thoroughly, clues are bound to be found."

"Yes." Gu Linhai replied in a troubled tone, "But now, it’s difficult to investigate."

"Why is it difficult?" Gu Zhengyu said, pausing for a moment, "It’s Gu Yanjing! He won’t allow it to be investigated! With his pressure from above, even if there are clues, they won’t dare to investigate."

"Brother..." Gu Linhai said in a hesitant tone again, "Brother, don’t think that way about Yanjing. Shu Luo has a few cases in his hand..."

"What do those cases count for?" Gu Zhengyu said, "If it’s not for Gu Yanjing, just those few cases, you or I would have gotten Shu Luo out long ago. Ultimately, it’s because of Gu Yanjing."

"Brother..." Gu Linhai called him again.

"Don’t speak for him." Gu Zhengyu interrupted him, "Gu Yanjing has wanted to take action against Shu Luo for a long time."

"Brother, it’s really not Yanjing." Gu Linhai continued with a persuasive tone, "Yanjing’s been tough lately, lots of matters for the Gu Family to handle now. He probably doesn’t have time to worry about other things."

"Tough?" Gu Zhengyu said, "He’s guarding the Gu Group, what’s so tough about it?"

"The Gu Group may be the top and the wealthiest in the Capital City, but it’s not been easy for the past couple of years." Gu Linhai said, "Yunzhong Building has been gaining momentum lately, openly and secretly competing with the Gu Group. Yanjing’s been really exhausted lately."

Listening to his words, Meng Qian’s eyes flickered.

After narrating so much, they finally got to the point.

Gu Linhai wanted to use Gu Zhengyu to stir conflict between Yunzhong Building and the Gu Group.

Set a trap for Gu Yanjing.

"Yunzhong Building?" Gu Zhengyu said, pausing for a moment, "Is Yunzhong Building really that formidable now."

"Yes." Gu Linhai spoke with concern for Gu Yanjing, "That’s why Yanjing’s having a hard time now."

"A hard time?" Gu Zhengyu suddenly chuckled, "He deserves it. Keep an eye on Shu Luo over there. I’ll hang up now."

"Okay." Gu Linhai said, "I’ll think of another way."

After the call ended, Meng Qian looked at him and said, "Will Gu Zhengyu fall for it?"

"He will." Gu Linhai said, "No matter how clever, everyone has a weakness. Once it’s touched, people lose their rationality."

Gu Linhai opened the car window, raised his hand to feel the wind outside, "Gu Yanjing keeps him abroad, he can’t come in at all. Most cherished son caught, beloved woman in conflict with him. He’s frantic and distressed now, he’d try any method, even if he knows I did it on purpose, he’d still act because if I don’t, he will have to stir the issue himself, he’s lost his rationality now."

Meng Qian thought for a moment and said again, "Yunzhong Building..."

"Enough to give Gu Yanjing a headache for a while." Gu Linhai slightly curled his lips, "He doesn’t let me have peace, so he won’t have peace either. Then, amidst the chaos, let Gu Zhengyu come to the country too, I’d like to see what incredible ability Gu Yanjing has at that time."
