Chapter 129 127 Gu Chengbai: Are you threatening me?



As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room instantly became stagnant, and there was a hint of imminent explosion.

Gu Chengbai looked at Bo Yuting coldly for a long time before saying, "Gu doesn't remember my family going to the ghost street at that time."

Bo Yuting sat up straighter, looked at him and said, "You know whether you have been there or not. Since I came to find you, I must have at least some clues that can definitely point to your Gu family."

Gu Chengbai curled his lips coldly, "So? Just because of this, you came to me? Bo Yuting, judging from your past behavior, you are not someone who would be so impulsive. It's hard not to be suspicious if you come to me with just a tiny clue and we are not sure whether my Gu family will admit it."

Bo Yuting narrowed his eyes slightly and said nothing.

Gu Chengbai seemed to have regained the initiative and said slowly, "So the reason you came to me this time is definitely not just because of the '511' case. There must be other reasons why you would take such a risk. Let me guess."

"Is it because you have been investigating this case for too long without any clues, and now that you finally have a clue, you are so anxious that you forget your sense of propriety? No, you have waited for so many years, you don't need to wait a little longer. You are not the kind of person who gets impatient."

"Could it be that you have some plan, and taking this risk is the key? No, you always like to take things slow and steady, and you wouldn't give up the holidays and come to me for such a small matter."

"Or maybe..."

Gu Chengbai's expression was more amused, and he said, "I did hear Gui Yan mention that you, the Ninth Master of the Bo Family, have been chasing after someone recently, right?"

Bo Yuting's eyes suddenly turned cold.

He had planned beforehand not to involve Lin Wu in the case. If Gu Chengbai guessed that it was Lin Wu, he would have to use Lin Wu against him.

He was not afraid of fighting with Gu Chengbai, but he couldn't let Lin Wu get hurt.

Thinking of this, Bo Yuting's eyes showed sarcasm, and he said, "Do you think I am your family member, hiding everything from you and playing tricks on others?"

Gu Chengbai's eyes darkened slightly.

Bo Yuting tapped the table with his fingers and said calmly, "I am not interested in what your Gu family is doing, and I don't want to know. I just want to solve the 511 case as soon as possible and find my uncle, or at least find out whether he is dead or alive. Now that I have a clue, do you think I can let him go?"

"Also, Gu Chengbai, I don't like you Gu family. Is this the first day you know this? It's not worth wasting time with you. Why should I waste time with you on something that can be resolved as soon as possible? Does it make me sick?"

After hearing this, the suspicion in Gu Chengbai's eyes faded a little.

His obsession with the "511" case is comparable to that of Bo Yuting, so he can understand why the other party would not let go of any clues.

But he still felt something was not right.

Bo Yuting suddenly said, "Besides, Gu Chengbai, even if I don't have a complete clue, so what? Wouldn't I test you? Your reaction just now has already proved that your Gu family has indeed found a breakthrough clue. Otherwise, why weren't you surprised when I mentioned that artifact?"

Gu Chengbai: “…”

Bo Yuting continued, "Since you have been keeping an eye on me, you should know that I went abroad and got injured. The other party was so brazen in inserting people around me. If I don't get rid of this anger, I won't be called Bo."

Gu Chengbai looked at him solemnly without saying a word.

He did know that Bo Yuting was injured while going abroad.

But afterwards, Bo Yuting disappeared and only recently appeared in Beijing. He had no idea what had happened in between that made him suddenly know so much.

After thinking for a moment, Gu Chengbai said calmly: "Then why do I believe Mr. Bo? Who did you get this information from?"

"North City?"

Gu Chengbai frowned.

Bo Yuting said slowly: "Why? You didn't notice it either? It seems that there are quite a few big families who didn't notice the opponent."

"Just a few years ago, a group of forces quietly appeared in various places and secretly interacted with famous families, either to win them over or to divide their forces. During this period, various unsolved major cases occurred."

"Three years ago, they entered the North City and used the master Zhang Yuge to win over the major wealthy families. They even had people in the black market. Not long after, their people also appeared in the capital, such as Wu Pengfei from the Qin Association, or... Erpijiang from Ghost Street."

Gu Chengbai's expression changed slightly.

Bo Yuting said: "I have already met the second cobbler. The information I got from him, plus what I have found out over the years, is enough to confirm that the people who caused these incidents are a group with the surname Huo. Among the major cases they caused, there was the '511' case."

"In other words, they are the culprits. As long as I can find them, I will know what happened in the '511' case and find my uncle."

Gu Chengbai's eyes were dark and he could hardly suppress the shock in his heart.

He didn't expect that so many things had happened in various places over the years, nor did he expect that Bo Yuting would find out here.

"So, what does this have to do with my Gu family?"

"So far, all the clues we have obtained have been interrupted and it is difficult to investigate further. But two years ago, a member of the Huo family appeared in the ghost street in Beijing. That artifact is the only clue that can be investigated further."

Bo Yuting looked directly at Gu Chengbai and pressed him, "Don't you also want to get to the bottom of this case? Now that I'm telling you how to investigate, shouldn't you hand over that artifact? First, I'm not asking you to take it for nothing. Second, I'm willing to share information with your family and investigate together. Gu Chengbai, you've done your best as an opponent."

"Of course, I can't really force you to do anything if you don't want to."

Hearing this, Gu Chengbai looked at him.

The man's words were dangerous and full of threats: "Only in this case, I have to wonder why you are unwilling to investigate further. Could it be that in the '511' case that year, the Gu family was not the victim, but the perpetrator?"

Gu Chengbai's expression suddenly darkened: "Bo Yuting, be careful with your words."

Bo Yuting didn't care about him, and even leaned back arrogantly, with his long legs crossed in a nonchalant posture, his elbows resting on the armrests of the chair and his head slightly supported.

He said: "I have been careful enough. After all, modesty is my good character. But if the Gu family really doesn't say anything, I don't mind taking other measures. But I can't guarantee what the result will be."

Gu Chengbai said coldly: "Are you threatening me?"

"How could that be?" Bo Yuting curled his lips slightly, "It's clearly a choice."

There is only one option to choose from.

Gu Chengbai took a deep breath, closed his eyes and suppressed his anger.

After a long while, he sneered and said, "Okay, I want half of your share of Ghost Street."
