Gu Yunzhen saw that her brows were furrowing more and more tightly, so she raised her hand and covered them.

"Don't think about it anymore, leave this to me."

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu turned to face him and said, "But I still feel a little uneasy."

She sensed that Jiang Yu's death was related to the mastermind behind it all in her past life. If that were the case, then things were truly dangerous.

Gu Yunzhen pressed his forehead against hers, his voice deep and magnetic: "Sweetie, I'm here. Didn't you promise your father-in-law you'd go back tomorrow? You stay home and spend time with Mom and Dad. I'll pick you up in a couple of days and tell you the whole story."

Shangguan Wu asked in surprise, "You were able to find out in just two days?"

Gu Yunzhen retorted, "Don't you believe me?"

Shangguan Wu replied without hesitation, "I believe you."

If she can't even trust him, then she probably won't trust anyone else.

Gu Yunzhen rubbed her head: "Then it's settled. Go to sleep."

Shangguan Wu closed her eyes in his arms.

When he heard her even breathing, Gu Yunzhen finally breathed a sigh of relief. After relaying the news of Jiang Yu's death to his elder brother, he turned off his phone and went to sleep.

Gu Yilou was still at work at the time, and his phone wasn't with him. By the time he saw the message, it was already five in the morning.

Upon receiving the news that evening, Gu Shiqi got out of his warm bed and went out to work.

As for Leng Yan, who was waiting for a reply on the other end of the phone, he didn't put down his phone until 1 a.m. to continue preparing the medicine, and he didn't sleep all night.

The next day, the sky was overcast, as if shrouded in a black veil, hazy and indistinct, making it difficult to see clearly.

Just like Jiang Yu's death, it also raises many questions.

In the study of the Gu residence.

"Jiang Yu is dead."

As Qin Yiheng sat on the sofa and brewed tea himself, he heard Gu Yilou say something. He looked up and asked, "You called me here to say that Jiang Yu is dead?"

Gu Yilou rubbed his forehead, looking exhausted: "Yeah, otherwise why do you think I called you over so early?"

Qin Yiheng laughed in exasperation.

He put down the teapot and scoffed, "What does your ex-wife's death have to do with me? I didn't kill her."

Gu Yilou frowned: "Aheng."

Qin Yiheng stood up, put his hands in his pockets, and said calmly, "It doesn't matter if you call me Master Heng."

At this moment, Gu Yilou just wanted to talk to someone, and regardless of whether he was listening or not, he began to speak: "When Yunzhen sent me the message, it was after 11 p.m. last night. I was in the study and didn't hear it until I returned to the bedroom at 5 a.m. and checked my phone. That's when I found out that Jiang Yu was dead. She died yesterday. Judging from the time Yunzhen deduced, she must have died within a few hours after we got our divorce certificate."

Qin Yiheng was taken aback: "Your brother-in-law told you?"

"Yes, who do you think it is?"

"Nobody!"

Qin Yiheng replied quickly.

He thought Jiang Yu had regretted her actions and was threatening him with suicide, but he didn't agree, and Jiang Yu actually committed suicide.

Qin Yiheng sat down again and leisurely brewed tea: "She's dead, so what? What does it have to do with you? Aren't you already divorced?"

Gu Yilou frowned at him. Was it a mistake for him to ask him to come and discuss countermeasures?

Not hearing his voice, Qin Yiheng looked up and saw his indescribable expression. His face stiffened, and he coughed twice: "Ahem, what do you want me to do?"

Gu Yilou looked at him and said in a serious tone, "Jiang Yu is dead. The Jiang family will definitely come to the Gu family to make trouble and they will also clamor to see Xiao Bao. But Xiao Bao has amnesia and is not suitable to see the Jiang family. So I would like to ask you to take care of Xiao Bao. Is that alright?"

Qin Yiheng froze.

Let him take care of the little brat?

Perhaps just being alive is enough.

Gu Yilou apologized to him: "I'm sorry, I know it's a bit difficult for you, but I still think you're the most suitable person. I hope you can take care of it for a month."

Qin Yiheng: "..."

A one-month competition is most suitable for you; obviously, the one with more words wins.

Qin Yiheng said with a smile, "It's not difficult. That kid is also my godson. Since he has called me godfather for so many years, it is only right for godfather to take care of him. Don't worry, I will take him abroad for a month. I guarantee that the Jiang family will not even see his shadow."

Gu Yilou's furrowed brows relaxed: "Thank you."

Qin Yiheng, sitting back on the sofa like an old man, crossed his legs and said, "Verbal thanks are meaningless, let's have something more substantial."

"substantive?"

Gu Yilou raised an eyebrow. Just then, the kettle boiled, and he went over to make Qin Yiheng a cup of tea: "Have some tea."

Looking at the Da Hong Pao tea that was handed to him, Qin Yiheng suddenly lost his desire to drink it.

Gu Yilou maintained his composure throughout.

Finally, Qin Yiheng drank his tea.

???

In the Xiao family's garden.

After meeting Quan Tianrui, the pilot relayed Teacher Fu's words to him.

“My name is Ken Hannett. If you need anything in the future, just tell me what to do.”

"Senior brother, you're too kind. We're both students of Teacher Fu, so let's help each other out. There's no need for such formalities."

Quan Tianrui's words made Ken Hannett feel very comfortable.

"Okay. Jiang Yu is dead. You'd better take the money she gave you as soon as possible, otherwise I'm worried things might change."

Delay could lead to complications. Quan Tianrui understood this and invited him, "Could you trouble you to come with me, Senior Brother?"

"It's no trouble at all, let's go."

Ken Hannett and Quan Tianrui left the Xiao family together.

The news of Quan Tianrui's departure quickly reached Xiao Jingming's ears.

Xiao Jingming pushed up his glasses and ordered, "It seems my cousin is quite capable. Keep an eye on him."

"Yes, young master."

Xiao Man accepted the order and left the president's office.

Soon, the secretary knocked and entered: "President, a young lady named Shangguan who claims to be your sister is here to see you. She says she has something important to tell you. Should we have her come up?"

Thinking of Shangguan Xinyi's past relationship with Quan Tianrui, a calculating glint flashed in Xiao Jingming's eyes: "Let her come up."

Shangguan Xinyi walked confidently into the president's office, acting as if she were the president's wife, which almost made the women in the secretarial office laugh themselves to death.

The reason is that since the Xiao Group's [Allure] perfume achieved great success, many celebrities, models, and socialites have come to see President Xiao. These secretaries have seen so many of them that they no longer take it seriously.

As soon as Shangguan Xinyi entered, she greeted him sweetly, "Brother Xiao."

Xiao Jingming got up and walked to the sofa area, smiling at her, "Don't stand there, come and sit down."

Shangguan Xinyi walked over, flattered and surprised.

"Brother Xiao, have I bothered you?"

Before he could speak, Shangguan Xinyi said, "I'm sorry, I was shocked by this news, so I wanted to come and tell you as soon as possible. I was worried that something might happen if I told you too late."

Xiao Jingming immediately leaned towards her and asked seriously, "What news?"

The overwhelming scent of male hormones wafted over her, and Shangguan Xinyi, her face flushed, said, "Yesterday, Jiang Yu asked me for Quan Tianrui's number."
