In her past life, her family was destroyed and she died tragiously on the open sea.
Reborn in a new life, what bad intentions could Shangguan Wu possibly have? She simply wants to take reveng...
"Mr. Qi, I was wrong. I was confused and my brain was sluggish. But I really didn't mean to hurt the Fourth Young Madam. Please forgive my mistake and give me another chance. Can we settle this privately?"
Wang Fugui pleaded with a face full of remorse, sobbing uncontrollably, "I have elderly parents to support and young children to raise, sob sob sob... My whole family depends on me, sob sob sob..."
Someone like him, who fails at everything he tries, won't be locked up for long. Old Master Qi said in a cool tone, "Aren't I your second parent?"
The subtext is: Shouldn't you be grateful to me?
"belch……"
Wang Fugui hiccuped in fear.
Seeing his cowardly appearance, Old Master Qi knew that things had come to this point and further words would be pointless. He chuckled and said, "Tell me, how do you plan to reconcile?"
Wang Fugui dared not play any tricks and said very honestly, "I still have five million in my platinum membership card at Zijing Pavilion. I'll give it to the Fourth Young Mistress to calm her nerves. Is that alright?"
Zijinge is a nationally renowned comprehensive entertainment venue.
The headquarters of the Zijing Pavilion is located in the capital city. It is said that the headquarters is different from the Zijing Pavilions in other cities. Its uniqueness lies in the top two floors, which are the real dens of extravagance.
There were six women on the top floor, all of them stunningly beautiful.
The next level features seven exceptionally handsome men.
Each of the thirteen of them possessed unique talents, making them the top stars of the Zijing Pavilion.
However, these two floors are generally inaccessible to the general public.
Only Platinum members and above can access the exclusive elevator directly.
Grandpa Qi frowned, neither agreeing nor refusing: "You should reflect on your actions inside first."
"..."
From the moment he was arrested, Wang Fugui was filled with remorse!
Why did he go to that bastard Lao Wu? Was he worried that if Lao Wu got locked up, he wouldn't give money to his wife and daughters?
Little did he know that people were afraid he would give money to his wife and daughters, fearing that his wife would take the money and remarry.
As soon as Old Master Qi came out, he saw Shangguan Wu walking towards him and casually asked, "Did the Ji family boy tell you that?"
Shangguan Wu said to him, "It's just a small matter, why did you come all the way here in person?"
Old Master Qi would never say to her, "He said he'd settle privately and give you a platinum membership to Zijing Pavilion with five million in the account. Do you want it?"
"Purple Gold Pavilion Platinum Membership? I don't need it."
In her previous life, Shangguan Wu had visited male brothels and not only witnessed their beauty but also used them to stab Gu Yunzhen in the heart, which was a huge mistake.
"Have him pay in cash, I'll use it to buy Chinese medicinal herbs."
Once her ideas and practices are perfectly combined, this batch of medicinal materials can be sent to the military region.
Old Master Qi's eyelids twitched: "Why did you buy so many medicinal herbs?"
Shangguan Wu kept it a secret for now: "I'll go home and discuss it with Master Huang before I tell you."
"What can you tell Lao Huang but not me?" Old Master Qi asked sourly.
Shangguan Wu chuckled and glanced at the old man, then took his arm and said as they walked, "You can't say that. Master Huang and I are the manual laborers, while you are the mental laborers, strategizing from behind the scenes. Master Huang and I are just your assistants!"
"Hmph, all she does is say nice things to fool the old man."
Although Grandpa Qi said that, he didn't pull his hand away, letting her hold it.
You like listening to that, don't you?
Shangguan Wu thought to herself, but a sweet smile appeared on her lips: "I'm just telling the truth. If you don't believe me, there's nothing I can do about it~"
An elderly man and a young boy walked out of the police station and got into a car to return to their home.
Grandpa Qi reminded her, "This time it was the Ji family boy who discovered it early. From now on, when you go out..."
Shangguan Wu nodded: "I know, I will be careful."
She will never again joke with her own life.
Back at the Gu residence, Shangguan Wu went to the pharmacy alone, and after lunch, she went back inside.
As evening approached, a light rain began to fall outside the window, and the sky became darker than usual.
Ji Moyan was worried that she would fall, so she came to pick her up with an umbrella.
Shangguan Wu put down her work, closed the pharmacy door, and took her mother-in-law's arm as they walked together.
On the way, the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law chatted idly.
"Wu Bao, you didn't take a nap today, did you? Are you sleepy?"
"Yeah, I didn't sleep. I'm not sleepy at all."
"Are you going to the pharmacy after dinner?" Ji Moyan was worried that she might not be able to handle being so busy all the time.
Shangguan Wu shook his head: "No, I'll go back to my room, finish my notes, and then rest."
Actually, my thoughts are clearest in the morning and late at night.
But she can't stay up all night.
So I have no choice but to go to bed early and get up early.
After dinner, the drizzle turned into a storm, and soon a layer of rain and mist seemed to form outside the window, enveloping everything.
Shangguan Wu returned to her bedroom, undisturbed, and finished writing her notes on the experiment she had conducted at the pharmacy that day. Then, as usual, she took a shower, drank warm milk, and went to bed.
She falls asleep almost the moment her head hits the bed.
But tonight was a little different; she couldn't sleep well at all.
A sudden rumble of thunder rang out.
Shangguan Wu woke up with a start.
She clutched her chest, unable to calm down for a long time. She turned her head to look out the window, but the curtains blocked her view.
She had another dream.
She heard Gu Yunzhen pleading with her for help.
But then a clap of thunder seemed to explode in her ears, and she suddenly woke up.
Shangguan Wu told herself that this was a dream.
But what if?
Shangguan Wu picked up the phone from the bedside table and called Meng Wen.
The call was answered after it rang three times.
Meng Wen apologized: "I'm sorry, Miss, for keeping you waiting."
The more anxious Shangguan Wu became, the calmer he remained, and he spoke very clearly: "Meng Wen, I will send you two addresses later. You and Gu Shier will lead a team of twenty people to go to sea immediately."
"I don't need you to deal with the Divine Envoy Organization. Your main task is to find my husband, Gu Yunzhen, and protect him secretly, understand?"
Before he could speak, she added, "If you encounter my cousin Qin Yiheng, you will also protect him secretly."
Meng Wen, fully awake on the other end of the phone, replied firmly, "Yes, Miss."
He didn't ask any questions; he did exactly as the young lady instructed.
After hanging up the phone, Meng Wen told everyone to get up.
The fourteen new members were a little confused.
During this time, they learned a set of boxing techniques from Master Huang.
I thought I would have to study for a long time, but I didn't expect the task to come so quickly.
But they were only stunned for two seconds before quickly getting up.
The commotion woke up Gu Wu and the other bodyguards of the Gu family.
Meng Wen said directly to Gu Wu, "Miss wants me to take twenty people out to sea now."
"Now?" Gu Wu glanced at the time; it was three in the morning.
Meng Wen nodded: "Yes."
Ten minutes later, Meng Wen and Gu Shier led twenty people to the international airport by car.
There were too many of them for one helicopter to accommodate them all.
So they first flew to a coastal city, then took a car to the dock, and finally took a boat out to sea.
After seeing them off, Gu Wu called Gu Yilou, the eldest son, to report.
Gu Yilou found his sister-in-law's instructions strange. Did she know the whereabouts of Yun Zhen and A Heng, and that something had happened to them?
