Gu Yunzhen glanced at the wheelchair, but didn't sit down. Instead, she took out her cane and walked towards the bathroom with it.

Just as he reached the door, Shangguan Wu hurriedly walked towards him.

She helped him up and said, "Why didn't you come in in a wheelchair? The floor is wet and slippery."

Gu Yunzhen glanced down at the hand on her waist and casually made up an excuse: "I'm not feeling well."

Are you feeling unwell?

Shangguan Wu stopped and looked up at him, her delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed: "You're going to sit in the bath for an hour, why don't you go back to bed and lie down for a while?"

"Need not."

Gu Yunzhen refused her and continued walking forward.

Helpless, Shangguan Wu helped him to the edge of the bath. Seeing him get into the water with crutches, she immediately exclaimed, "Are you sure you can manage?"

She stared intently, afraid he might slip and fall in the bathtub.

Gu Yunzhen's temples throbbed a few times. He looked up at her, his deep voice carrying a hint of danger: "What do you think?"

Shangguan Wu met his gaze, blinked, and her long eyelashes trembled slightly: "I think it might not work out~"

As she spoke, she shook her head and took two steps back.

Almost instantly, Gu Yunzhen's face darkened, like the sky before a storm. He stared at her with deep eyes, his low, husky voice full of seduction: "Why don't you come down and try?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he sat down in the bathtub.

The water barely reached his chest.

After unbuttoning the top three buttons of his shirt, Gu Yunzhen rested his hands on the bathtub wall, revealing his chest muscles, which exuded a wild masculine charm amidst his sexiness, making Shangguan Wu swallow hard.

Is that all?

Isn't this going too smoothly?

Shangguan Wu suddenly felt a little thirsty, turned around and said as he walked away, "Wait here, I'll go out and get two glasses of water."

Gu Yunzhen watched her fleeing figure, a wicked smile curving his thin lips: She's only good with words.

Shangguan Wu, who was pouring water, slapped his forehead.

What's there to be a coward about!

He invited him, so even if he took advantage of him, it was his own fault!

Shangguan Wu muttered under his breath, "Shangguan Wu, don't be a coward, just do it!"

She took a deep breath, picked up two glasses of water, and walked headfirst into the bathroom.

Just as she reached the door, her phone rang.

Shangguan Wu paused, turning to look at the phone on the dressing table. Why did it always ring when she was about to do something important?!

She frowned and looked away, then pushed open the bathroom door with her elbow. The doorbell stopped for a moment, then started ringing again.

Thinking of the important family reunion in the capital, Shangguan Wu resignedly walked back to her dressing table.

When she saw that the caller ID showed Du Wei, she immediately put down her water glass, answered the call, and said through gritted teeth in a rapid-fire manner, "You'd better have something extremely urgent to do right now, otherwise you can go for a run with Eleven!"

Upon hearing this, Du Wei on the other end of the phone almost dropped it!

Fortunately, he caught the phone quickly and reported, "Miss, I've found out what you asked me to investigate. Tonight's banquet was hosted by the Shen family, with the aim of winning over various forces in Changteng City. Shangguan Xiong wanted Shangguan Xinyi to marry the eldest son of the Shen family, but Shangguan Xinyi ran away from home, so he set his sights on you and the eldest young lady."

Shangguan Wu's eyes suddenly flashed with a cold light: "Shangguan Xiong is looking for my eldest sister?"

“Jianzai said that Shangguan Xiong called Miss yesterday and he heard her say that she had no intention of remarrying and that she did not want anyone to come and pick her up.”

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Wu's face instantly turned extremely sour!

Shangguan Xiong actually arranged for his eldest sister, who had just divorced, to remarry. It was like rubbing salt into her wounds; it was outrageous!

Shangguan Wu clenched his fists involuntarily, took a deep breath to suppress his anger, and asked, "Is there any news from Meng Wen?"

"I'm sorry, miss, there's no news about him yet."

Shangguan Wu rubbed her forehead. She couldn't tell Meng Wen the exact location of the things Shangguan Xiong had hidden, because these were memories from her past life that she couldn't explain. So she could only ask Meng Wen to conduct a large-scale secret search.

She calmly said, "It's alright. Shangguan Xiong is very discreet. He will definitely send trusted confidants to guard him. Tell him to be careful."

Shangguan Xiong hid the gold and documents in a large coffin underground!

If a mudslide hadn't occurred in that place in his previous life, exposing the coffin and exposing it to the news, Shangguan Xiong wouldn't have been caught so quickly!

After ending the call, Shangguan Wu took a water glass into the bathroom and handed one to Gu Yunzhen.

Gu Yunzhen took the teacup, and when his fingers touched hers, she didn't react at all.

He raised an eyebrow slightly, sipped his water, and looked at her with a scrutinizing gaze.

It was completely different from when she went out.

Setting down her water glass, Gu Yunzhen asked confidently, "Have you found out Shangguan Xiong's purpose?"

Shangguan Wu's expression froze for a moment.

She looked down at him, sat on a cute little stool by the bathtub, her brows furrowed: "Tell me, my grandfather kindly adopted Shangguan Xiong and raised him like his own son, so why is Shangguan Xiong not grateful at all, but instead wants to exterminate the Shangguan family?"

To exterminate them all?

Gu Yunzhen narrowed his deep black eyes and curled his thin lips into a mocking smile: "Some people are just people in appearance."

Shangguan Wu was speechless for a moment.

Indeed, some people are not human at all, they just look like humans.

But she couldn't help feeling sorry for her grandfather.

It's better to have a dog than a Shangguan Xiong!

As time ticked by, Shangguan Wu's resolve grew stronger. In this life, she would protect her family and ensure they lived to a ripe old age!

It was exactly 8 p.m. that evening.

Shangguan Wu, dressed in a long black dress, appeared at the entrance of the hotel where the Shen family was holding a banquet.

This area is brightly lit and dazzling with neon lights, a breathtaking sight from afar.

Before Shangguan Wu even got out of the car, she saw Peng Yuan, one of Shangguan Xiong's secretaries, standing on the right side of the door. She sneered and pushed open the car door.

As soon as I got out of the car, Peng Yuan ran over.

"Miss Fourth, you've arrived. The president is waiting for you inside. Please come with me."

"Uncle, did you arrive so early?"

Shangguan Wu smiled, but her steps were unhurried, as if she were strolling in a garden, and the distance between her and Peng Yuan grew wider and wider.

Peng Yuan was extremely anxious, but this young lady was walking incredibly slowly. He could only keep coaxing her, "Fourth Miss, the president said that once you arrive, you should go directly to him. He knows that your company is preparing to film a TV series, and he wants to introduce you to some investors tonight. So let's not keep the president waiting any longer, let's go quickly."

Did they even know that Lian Tiansong was going to film a TV series?

It seems they pay quite a bit of attention to her.

Shangguan Wu feigned surprise and covered her mouth, asking curiously, "Uncle thinks so highly of me, is he planning to invest several hundred million in me?"

Peng Yuan: "..."

The CEO never even considered investing in that small company's TV series!

The next second, Shangguan Wu said incredulously, "No way, my uncle isn't willing to invest a single penny. Does he not believe in me at all? Then why is he so desperately trying to get people to invest in my TV series?"

Peng Yuan: "…………"
