Chapter 456 458 Wang Rui
Gong Hanyu glanced coldly at the mother and son and went upstairs.
"Miss, you're back." Gong Hanyu had just arrived at the study upstairs when a middle-aged man dressed in a long robe suddenly appeared in front of her. He bowed slightly and saluted Gong Hanyu.
"Uncle Zhang, does anyone in the mansion know that I moved to East Street Alley to live for a few days a few days ago?" Gong Hanyu asked with a serious face.
"Miss, there are only a handful of people in this mansion who are qualified to inquire about your whereabouts. However, if they infer through observation that you are not living in the mansion in the past few days, then it is hard to say." Uncle Zhang is the butler of the Gong family mansion. He was trained personally by Gong Hanyu's grandfather. He is responsible for coordinating and handling all matters in the mansion, inside and outside.
"Investigate everyone who left the mansion within three days before and after the 23rd. Find out who they met and what they did. I want to see a detailed report by tomorrow at the latest." Gong Hanyu ordered coldly.
"Yes, Miss." Uncle Zhang bowed respectfully and withdrew.
"Miss, isn't your attitude being too harsh?" The woman standing behind Gong Hanyu said hesitantly.
"If I don't act tougher, they will soon be able to bully me. If it weren't for grandpa's sake, I would have kicked them out long ago." Gong Hanyu said with a sneer.
"Miss, I know you've been in a bad mood these days, but she is the old man's biological daughter after all. You still have to give her the preferential treatment she deserves. You can't give anyone a chance to talk at this critical moment." Zhou Jinxiu is Gong Hanyu's trusted assistant. They grew up together, so it's natural that she speaks differently from others.
"Because my whereabouts were exposed, I was almost assassinated. It is reasonable to search for the traitor now. What excuse do you have? Jinxiu, tell me, who leaked my whereabouts?" Gong Hanyu turned his head and looked at Zhou Jinxiu and asked.
"In my opinion, the Bai brothers are the most suspicious. After all, in such a short period of time, the others had no chance or time to come into contact with that woman," said Zhou Jinxiu.
"It wasn't the Bai brothers who did it. I had Gan Zhi try them a long time ago." Gong Hanyu waved his hand.
"Then there's no possibility for anyone else! Rong Xianxian just arrived in Beijing and hasn't gotten familiar with the place yet. How could she possibly get in touch with our people? Or even find our villa?" Zhou Jinxiu frowned with a puzzled look on her face.
"Even if Rong Xianxian can't do it, don't we still have Ning Qingyun? Ning Qingyun openly retreated to Chongzhou and secretly made plans in Beijing for many years. He is not as simple as the bigwigs in Beijing see." Gong Hanyu's eyes flickered when he mentioned Ning Qingyun.
"No way, Miss. Putting aside the relationship between Master Ning Qi and you, based on his personality, it is impossible for him to let his woman take risks alone." Zhou Jinxiu spoke too quickly and only realized something was wrong after she said this.
Sure enough, when Gong Hanyu heard the word "his woman", his face instantly turned gloomy.
"Uh, Miss, is it possible that your whereabouts were leaked by those people in the other courtyard?" Zhou Jinxiu quickly changed the subject.
"I have investigated the people in the villa and didn't find anything suspicious." Gong Hanyu's face still looked unhappy. The low atmosphere in the study made people feel depressed.
Seeing Gong Hanyu in this state, Zhou Jinxiu didn't dare to say anything.
"Go and light some soul-soothing incense!" Gong Hanyu ordered.
Zhou Jinxiu agreed and found a long, blue-green incense stick from the cabinet in the corner. The main ingredient of this incense was a blue medicinal herb called the soul-soothing wood, which was taken from the heart of the wood. After being lit, it would emit a very peculiar aroma that could calm the mind and improve the efficiency of cultivation.
This kind of incense is expensive and is usually used to assist in spiritual practice. However, Zhou Jinxiu knew that Gong Hanyu asked her to light incense just to adjust her mood.
"The old man has woken up and came to call me. Now you go and get busy!" Gong Hanyu asked Gu Ganzhi for help that night, using the old man's connections. However, she didn't expect that Gu Ganzhi not only failed to help, but was injured instead. She had to give an explanation to the old man for this matter.
She now has to think carefully about how to explain this matter!
Rong Xianxian returned to her residence and found Jiang Jie, Wang Lin and Chen Lishu fighting in the yard.
"What are you doing here, not sleeping so late at night?" Rong Xianxian entered the yard, suddenly removed the invisibility barrier and started speaking. Her voice was not loud, much quieter than the sound of weapons colliding, but it was particularly clear to Wang Lin and others.
"Sister Rong, you're back. We were so worried." Jiang Jie and the others were stunned for a moment, then they cheered and surrounded her.
"What are you worried about? Didn't I tell you about my situation in advance?" Rong Xianxian said with amusement as she looked at their nervous and excited expressions.
"We didn't expect you to sleep for so long. Captain Feng and his men have come several times, saying that the entire team is in a panic. If you don't wake up, they won't be able to pacify their men." Chang Qing, who had just been standing aside, spoke at this time.
"This is a time that tests people's hearts. Have you paid attention to those people's reactions?" Rong Xianxian asked Chang Qing.
"Of course, everyone's performance is under control." Chang Qing and Rong Xianxian smiled knowingly.
"Madam Rong, I've heard a lot about you!" While Rong Xianxian and Chang Qing were talking, someone pushed the door open and came out of the room where Wang Lin lived, clasping his fists and bowing to Rong Xianxian.
"Who is this?" Rong Xianxian took a look at the man. He was almost 1.9 meters tall, with a tall and well-proportioned figure, regular facial features with sharp edges and corners, a broad forehead and a straight nose, bright eyes, and a slightly dark complexion. At first glance, he was a tough guy trained in the army. He must have come out of Wang Lin's house. Rong Xianxian turned around and asked Wang Lin.
"Sister Rong, he is my brother." Wang Lin seemed a little embarrassed. His brother insisted on coming to see Sister Rong and couldn't be driven away. Wang Lin felt a little uneasy because he didn't greet Sister Rong in advance.
"My name is Wang Rui. On behalf of my father and mother, I would like to thank Mrs. Rong for taking care of my brother along the way. My brother told me that you saved his life many times. I will remember this kindness." Wang Rui said politely.
"You're welcome. A'lin is our teammate. We should help each other. There's no question of taking care of him or not." Rong Xianxian looked at Wang Rui and thought, no wonder Wang Lin never worried about his family. This big brother of his is not an ordinary person!
"Madam Rong, may I have a word with you?" Wang Rui looked at the other people in the yard and said.
"Then please come this way!" Rong Xianxian pointed in the direction of the study.
"Mrs. Rong, it's getting late and time is precious. I'm going to speak frankly. I wonder if you can help persuade my brother to leave your team?" Wang Rui said straight to the point.
