Five years ago, Gu Momo saved the Empire's richest man and was forced to conceive a child.
Five years later, she returned强势 with countless secret identities. Countless tyants knelt before...
She immediately asked nervously, "Does he have any other distinguishing features?"
A sharp glint flashed in Ye Zhancheng's deep eyes, then he narrowed them: "He has a subordinate who wears a jade thumb ring on his left thumb; that's his attendant. By the way, when I was reporting to the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, a jade pendant just slipped from his hand as I opened the door. The pendant had the character '玉' (Yu) written on it."
"I suspect that the character 'Yu' is someone's name, either an enemy of the leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance, or someone he holds dear. So if Momo is going to the Ye family, she'll probably have to be careful about whose name has the character 'Yu' in it."
The character "钰"? This is extremely important information!
She quickly smiled and said, "Thank you, brother, this information is enough for me!"
Since the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance has infiltrated the Ye family, he should be about to take action against them. This information might come in handy!
“But Momo,” Ye Zhancheng reminded her, “Both the Deadly Poison Master and the leader of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance are extremely good at hiding their true intentions. The above information may have already been altered after I defected from the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, so you should be careful when using it.”
"Don't worry, brother, I will!"
As Gu Momo spoke, she took out her notebook and asked Ye Zhancheng to write down the appearance of the jade thumb ring.
He then went to see his mother, Rong Muhua, before turning to leave the Rong family's hospital room.
The sky was dark and gloomy, and the rain poured down, splashing water all over the dry ground.
Passersby began to cover their heads and seek shelter from the rain, while those who had prepared in advance hurriedly opened their umbrellas or those in their bags and continued on their way in the rain.
Nothing can stop people from moving forward when they have something to look forward to.
Gu Momo sighed and was about to rush into the rain when a tall figure in the distance came into her view.
The plane trees outside Songshan Hospital have turned yellow. Li Zhanting, wearing a black trench coat with the buttons undone, holds a large black umbrella in his hand, looking like a model walking on the cover of a British fashion magazine, relaxed yet flamboyant.
Her heart was pounding like a deer's as she stared blankly as the man drew closer and closer until he stopped in front of her.
"Zhan Ting, what brings you here?"
“Since you’re here, of course I have to come over.”
Gu Momo chuckled and took small steps down the steps. Li Zhanting naturally moved the umbrella over her head and followed her down the steps until they were beside him.
“Mom still hasn’t woken up, but my older brother can barely get out of bed and walk, but it will probably take another two or three months for him to fully recover,” Gu Momo explained to Li Zhanting as she walked forward.
"Being able to get out of bed and walk is a good thing. He has endured for many years and has a very strong will. He probably cannot tolerate lying in bed all the time."
Gu Momo nodded in agreement, "Mm."
As she spoke, she quickened her pace and walked forward.
Worried that she would get wet in the rain, Li Zhanting quickly followed. The weather had been a bit chilly lately, and it was raining today. He took her hand and put it in his trench coat pocket.
Gu Momo pursed her lips and naturally slowed her pace. "How about we take a walk?"
"good."
The sycamore leaves had turned yellow, and many had already fallen onto the stone path. Gu Momo held Li Zhanting's hand and walked unhurriedly, while the Maybach followed behind them along the road.
Li Zhanting stopped and gripped her hand even tighter. "Our intelligence network has been found. It's in the Lotus Pavilion in Country C."
Lotus Pavilion was designed with the inspiration of ancient brothels. It recruited a group of young and beautiful women and ostensibly operated as a tea house and restaurant, but in reality, it was no different from an ancient brothel.
However, the Lotus Pavilion has extremely high standards for hospitality; unless you are a millionaire with assets worth tens of millions, you can't even get a ticket.
As a world-renowned place of pleasure, Gu Momo had naturally heard of it.
She gave him a slightly scrutinizing look. "Li Zhanting, who are you trying to fool? Don't think I don't know what Lotus Pavilion is. Are you planning to go there to cheat on me?"
As soon as she finished speaking, the man's large hand gripped her slender lower back and pulled her into his arms. "Speaking of women, I'm only interested in you."
"Don't give me that! Since you're going to investigate Allah, then I have to go too."
The wealthy merchant Ala and the intelligence network under the Emperor-Slaying Alliance are two important pillars supporting the Emperor-Slaying Alliance!
One is the super economic source supporting the operation of the Emperor-Slaying Alliance, and the other is the central nervous system connecting countless pieces of information within the Emperor-Slaying Alliance.
Taking down the wealthy businessman Ala and his intelligence network would be equivalent to severing the left and right arms of the leader of the Emperor-Killing Alliance!
"You're going?" Li Zhanting frowned. "No."
That kind of place is too unclean, how could a girl go there?
Gu Momo could already guess his worry from his expression. "Don't worry, it's a small problem for me!"
Just then, Gu Momo's eyes suddenly lit up: "There's clay pot rice cake! I want to eat it!"
Before Li Zhanting could speak, Gu Momo broke free from his embrace and ran to a roadside food stall to buy some snacks.
From a short distance away, she waved and asked, "What flavor do you want?"
When had Li Zhanting ever eaten at a roadside stall like this? But thinking that this was his wife's favorite food, he decided to try it. "Just like yours."
Gu Momo bought a bubble tea flavored one. It was sweet. Li Zhanting took a bite, and his initial resistance turned into a relaxed expression, as if he had opened the door to a new era.
"How is it? Delicious, isn't it?"
"Hmm." It was rare for Young Master Li to give a satisfactory answer.
Gu Momo smiled, stuffed the remaining half into his mouth, and then ran back to the car, saying, "Eating too much will make you fat, so it's all yours!"
Li Zhanting turned around, smiled gently, his eyes full of doting affection.
The two didn't return to the Li family home until late at night. Gu Wanrou's room was arranged next to Gu Momo's. Because they were worried about disturbing their rest, Li Zhanting and Gu Momo didn't turn on the lights and tiptoed to the bedroom.
When did Young Master Li have to sneak around even when he goes home?
The two arrived safely and had just pushed open the door when a spiked club suddenly attacked from behind the door. Li Zhanting skillfully dodged it and turned on the room's lights.
"Who goes there!" he shouted coldly, his aura instantly becoming sharp.
Behind the door, Old Master Li walked out shakily, holding a spiked club.
"Grandpa?!" Li Zhanting and Gu Momo exclaimed in unison.
"Grandpa, what are you doing?" Li Zhanting pinched his brow, completely baffled as to what this old man was up to this time.
"Don't call me grandpa! Who's your grandpa! Momo's here, I'm giving you face, you'd better admit what you did. You brat, you think you're all grown up now..."
As soon as he finished speaking, Old Master Li threw the spiked club on the ground with a loud "clang"!
Gu Momo took a deep breath. If that thing had actually hit Li Zhanting on the head, he would have had a concussion at the very least.
Grandpa really knows how to be ruthless!
