Chapter 188: Investigating Seventh Young Master, Naturally Causing Panic
"The people from Seventh Young Master’s courtyard are all very tight-lipped; it’s impossible to get any information out of them."The male servant also appeared troubled. Seventh Young Master’s courtyard was independent, and the staff were hired personally by him, all faithful to Seventh Young Master.
It was extremely difficult to find out anything about Seventh Young Master.
Moreover, he didn’t dare to inquire overtly! If discovered, he would surely confront major trouble.
"Get out, get out, get out!" Guan Xiaoxue stamped her foot in frustration!
They couldn’t even handle such a small task; she wondered what their use was!
The male servant promptly scuttled away; after all, everyone knew about Third Madam’s terrible temper; nobody wanted to stay around her.
Still not content nor giving up, Guan Xiaoxue immediately took out her phone and dialed a certain number.
"Have you reviewed the surveillance footage from last night?" she demanded.
"I’ve watched it several times, Third Madam; indeed, I saw no one descending from the main house’s windows, especially Miss Niannian’s room."
The person on the other end of the line sounded somewhat impatient.
Guan Xiaoxue, frowning and huffing: "You must have not looked carefully! Watch it ten more times, keep looking until you find something!"
"..."
The person on the other end was truly helpless...
Guan Xiaoxue hung up with a slap and, looking in the direction of Gu Beicheng’s courtyard, her gaze grew ever more solemn and focused.
Impossible, how could there be no trace left behind!
She knew Seventh was skillful, yet when she came down from Xia Yinian’s room upstairs to encountering Gu Lingqian in the lobby, and then going back, it was only a matter of a few short minutes.
Even if Seventh was that capable, could he really leave Xia Yinian’s room undetected in less than ten minutes, "encounter" Gu Jinghe, agree to help Ziqi on behalf of Gu Jinghe, and then return?
How could he accomplish that?
However, the man in Xia Yinian’s room last night must have been Gu Beicheng.
The more she thought about it, the more she was convinced it was him!
No one else from the Gu Family, apart from Seventh, could possibly have the guts to do such a thing!
Steal Young Master Ling’s woman? Did they no longer wish to live?
But if it were Seventh, even if the Old Master found out, at worst, it would only be Xia Yinian who would suffer.
Seventh wouldn’t be affected; even the Old Master wouldn’t dare touch him.
It must be Seventh, it must be Seventh!
Seeing a car leaving from a distance, Guan Xiaoxue panicked and immediately hid behind the bushes.
She didn’t know exactly what she was panicking about, but of course, she was anxious, now trying to investigate Gu Beicheng.
The car left from the Seventh Young Master’s Feng Residence and slowly headed towards the main house.
Guan Xiaoxue hid behind the bushes, not daring to even stand up.
Although she suspected Gu Beicheng, she only wanted to deal with Xia Yinian and certainly didn’t wish to have any conflicts with Gu Beicheng.
However, after some thought, it seemed as though she came upon a realization.
Looking from afar, as she saw Gu Beicheng’s car stop outside the main entrance of the main house, she thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, straightened her back, and walked toward the main house.
...
Seventh Young Master was here today to visit the Old Madam.
Stepping out from the Old Madam’s room, crossing the long corridor, and returning to the lobby, he saw Guan Xiaoxue sitting on the sofa.
"Seventh, you’ve come early to visit mom and dad? Are they awake yet?"
Guan Xiaoxue stood up; although a sister-in-law, she felt a subtle sense of humility in front of Gu Beicheng.
Perhaps, there isn’t anyone born in this world who could stand before Seventh Young Master and not feel the slightest pressure.
