Chapter 276 Not that kind of person

Upon hearing this, Xu Yunzhi's smile widened even more. It seemed that even the heavens were on his side.

He was worrying about how he could openly and legitimately enter the Marquis of Yi'an's residence. If the information his subordinates had sent was true, it would save him a lot of trouble.

He could even use this as a demand to get Gu Yingjie to do things for him.

"Send me a letter to the second young master of the Gu family, saying that if he wants to save his brother-in-law's life, he should come to the inn to find me."

Upon hearing this, the man in black immediately slipped away from the inn's room, leaving Xu Yunzhi alone.

At the Yun residence, Yun Yichen listened to the news reported by his subordinates, his brows furrowing deeply.

Are you sure this message is correct?

Yun Yichen narrowed his eyes, looking at Zhong Lin who was standing in front of him.

"It's absolutely true. I heard that the second young mistress cried for quite a while because of this."

Zhong Lin recounted everything in detail, his eyes unconsciously showing a hint of worry.

"Master, do you think that Xu guy might take advantage of the situation to blackmail the Second Young Master, or even demand that Miss Hou Fujiang marry him?"

Having served his master for so long, Zhong Lin's mind was still quite sharp, but there was one thing he misunderstood.

"Do you think the Second Young Master Gu would be the kind of person who would sell his own sister if threatened?"

Yun Yichen rolled his eyes at him, annoyed. Did he really think Gu Shuyan was so easy to mess with? That little girl was so fierce that even he was afraid of her.

"But wouldn't they take action if they had such a good opportunity?"

Although Zhong Lin trusted Gu Shuyan and the Gu family, he couldn't rule out the possibility that they might use some special methods.

Yun Yichen would naturally not give away the little girl he had finally managed to trick into his hands.

"When will you find an opportunity to send a message to the little girl, telling her to be careful? Most importantly, don't let Xu Yunzhi come into contact with her."

Yun Yichen believed that Gu Yingjie would not sell his sister. After all, she was his own sister. If his brother-in-law was poisoned, would he really sell his own sister? Gu Yingjie wouldn't be that brainless.

His concern was that Xu Yunzhi would use this opportunity to disrupt his plans.

"Yes, Master."

Seeing his master's confident demeanor, Zhong Lin's worries immediately subsided.

As Yun Yichen had predicted, Xu Yunzhi knew he couldn't let Gu Yingjie betray his sister for the sake of a brother-in-law who wasn't even that close to him.

All he had to do was win the other party over and get him to help thwart Yun Yichen's scheme.

Of course, if he could leave a good impression on the other party and then say a few good words for himself in front of Gu Shuyan, then he would have achieved his goal.

Gu Yingjie had just finished comforting Ouyang Jing and returned to his study when he saw a letter on the table, signed by himself.

With some questions in mind, Gu Yingjie immediately opened the envelope. When his eyes fell on the contents of the letter, Gu Yingjie's expression became increasingly interesting.

After reading it twice to confirm its contents, Gu Yingjie stared blankly and then threw the letter into the blazing stove.

At the same time, Gu Shuyan was opening the letter that Yun Yichen had sent.

Gu Shuyan's face turned bright red after just one glance at the title.

When did this man change like this? He's nothing like the aloof and cool guy he seemed when we first met.
