After figuring it out, his admiration for his boss reached a new level.

He would keep this secret for his boss to the death.

Gu Xu walked into the living room and saw Li Wenhe and Pei Di there.

He went upstairs to his bedroom and retrieved the bronze mirror.

Since Mingzhuo said this is a ritual implement, it might be useful on an occasion like today.

He Wangyao had just explained the situation, and after a short while, Ming Zhuo and his group arrived.

He Wangyao was very nervous: "Boss, how should we set up our defenses?"

He had a sense of urgency, as if a great battle was imminent and a storm was brewing.

Mingzhuo was somewhat confused: "What defense? There's no need for defense."

Ruan Mingying was taken aback: "Don't we need to? But the person behind us is scheming to obstruct us, and will definitely take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack."

Mingzhuo: "...You think there will be a big battle tonight? No, no, there won't be."

Everyone: "???"

"The memories I sealed away are completely unknown to that person, so they won't take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack." Mingzhuo was still very confident in himself.

Everyone: "..."

Oh, I see.

Gu Xu silently put the bronze mirror away; he had been too worried to think clearly.

Li Wenhe: "But I heard that Auntie just went through a chase last night, so it's best to be cautious."

He Wangyao: "That's right, Miss Ruan almost fell victim to a trap. The person behind it doesn't intend to let your family off the hook."

Gu Xu hesitated for a moment, "Unless, the person who was chasing Auntie and the person who altered her memories are not the same person."
