Chapter 149 He said, he wants to interrogate personally
"So, you actually knew about the consequences a long time ago?"Xia Yinian looked at Gu Lingqian, a chill in her heart: "Yet, you just watched me like a fool, carefree and unconcerned."
"Brother is also trying to find a solution, just that, for the moment, no better witness or evidence has been found."
Gu Lingqian has never been one to offer explanations for himself, so these words were spoken by Gu Yin’an.
However, according to the current situation, it seems like this solution is temporarily unfeasible.
He looked at Gu Lingqian: "Should we ask Uncle for help?"
In the entire Gu Family, no one has greater influence over the Old Master’s decisions than Gu Beicheng.
But today, Uncle was also present, yet he did not utter a word, seemingly uninterested in the matter.
They knew Uncle’s temperament; for things he showed no interest in, it was hard for them to persuade him.
In truth, this matter really didn’t have much to do with Gu Lingqian; all he had to do was to abandon Xia Yinian and leave this place.
The ones who would suffer would naturally be Xia Yinian and the Xia Family.
But the problem was, Gu Lingqian couldn’t bear to leave her behind.
Hearing them bring up Uncle, the light in Xia Yinian’s eyes dimmed.
"He was here today too, and he didn’t help me..." she murmured.
"Uncle is just like that, don’t take it to heart." Gu Lingqian thought for a moment, then decided to take out his phone and dial a certain number.
He actually reached out to Gu Beicheng; indeed, in the Gu Family, Gu Beicheng’s status was truly high.
The more she understood about Gu Beicheng’s power, the more uncomfortable Xia Yinian felt in her heart.
That demon, if he could help, then why did he remain silent at that moment?
He was obviously doing it on purpose, deliberately watching her fall into misfortune!
Gu Lingqian said a lot, but the person on the other end didn’t seem to say much, even Gu Yin’an became anxious.
Once Gu Lingqian hung up the phone, Gu Yin’an asked: "How did it go? Did Uncle refuse?"
Uncle wasn’t like others who would act out of consideration for feelings; if he didn’t want to do something, he simply wouldn’t do it, never bothering to give anyone face.
Gu Lingqian’s gaze however, landed on Xia Yinian, and after watching her for a moment, he finally said: "Uncle wants you to bring her over. He wants to interrogate her personally."
...
Interrogate!
Such a harsh word.
Did even Gu Beicheng refuse to believe her?
Xia Yinian harbored a bellyful of grievances. That man, who was so close to her, the two of them had done almost... everything that was intimate.
Yet now she had fallen into this predicament, instead of helping her immediately, he actually wanted to interrogate her!
What exactly did he want to interrogate?
"Uncle, I’ve brought Nian Nian over." When Gu Yin’an led Xia Yinian into the grand hall of Gu Beicheng’s residence, Gu Beicheng and Yu Wanqing were playing chess on the coffee table in the hall.
Gu Beicheng said nothing, no reaction, but Yu Wanqing glanced at them and smiled: "Have a seat."
Gu Yin’an sat down and gestured for Xia Yinian to do the same.
Yet Xia Yinian just looked at Gu Beicheng, refusing to sit.
Gu Beicheng also didn’t pay attention to her. He stared at the chessboard, seemingly in thought, or perhaps just casually responding.
In any case, his nonchalant demeanor resembled a relaxed and leisurely Leisurely Prince, carefree and as charming as an Immortal.
However, when the depth of his ink-black eyes would focus to make a chess move, the hard-to-hide sharpness and dominance were comparable to that of a Regent King ruling the entire world.
The next moment, the puppet emperor was firmly in his control, with no escape!
"I’ve lost," Yu Wanqing sighed softly, turned her head to look at Xia Yinian standing aside, her smile gentle, "Come over and sit down."
