Chapter 184
"A distinguished person?"
He Baixuan pondered these two words. In Shanzhou, which great family could compare to the He family?
She narrowed her eyes, wanting someone to continue the investigation, but before she could speak, she suddenly remembered someone.
My breath caught in my throat, followed by a profound sense of foreboding.
Her hand holding the teacup paused, and she murmured, "That person...didn't they already leave?"
"Go... tell all our people to come back. If Father or anyone else asks, just say you don't know anything, that you don't know anything at all."
The servant was probably startled, and repeatedly bowed, saying, "Yes!"
After the servant left, He Baixuan threw the teacup beside her onto the table and called out, "Stop pretending to be dead outside, come in right now!"
At a command, a shadow flashed across the ground with lightning speed. The person seemed to dislike standing in the sun, and after entering the house, he did not seek out a place where the sun could shine, but deliberately stood in a shady corner.
He Baixuan seemed to know his temperament. Today, seeing that he was still dressed in all black from head to toe, she didn't say anything to him.
"These incompetent fools in your household! Even those two have disappeared!"
The woman's voice unconsciously became high-pitched, which made her beautiful face appear somewhat distorted.
The newcomer was completely wrapped in black cloth, leaving only his deep, dark eyes visible. He showed no reaction to the words, and his emotions remained unchanged.
Standing still, like air.
He Baixuan was furious. She threw the teacup on the table at his feet and yelled, "Are you dead?"
"What?"
The man finally raised his eyes lazily, his tone as sharp and emotionless as the impression he gave off.
And they cherish words like gold.
A ruthless glint flashed in He Baixuan's eyes. "That man is back. What I did is very likely to be discovered. The most urgent thing is to get rid of Lu Rou and that maid as soon as possible, so that no one will know it was my doing..."
"Knowing the outcome today, why did you do it in the first place?"
His tone contained no sympathy for outsiders, only ridicule for He Baixuan's inappropriate behavior.
"You're lecturing me?!" He Baixuan's voice suddenly became sharp. "Those two idiots messed things up halfway! They've all disappeared, so they're clearly in the other side's hands. If they follow the trail, they'll definitely find Lu Rou."
A fierce glint appeared in his eyes, mixed with a hint of fear and unease. "They will find me too!"
Realizing the seriousness of the problem, He Baixuan could no longer sit still. She immediately got up and ran to the man, grabbing his hand without hesitation, "Gu Lang, Gu Lang, please help me! Please help me again!"
The man surnamed Gu, with a cold and indifferent expression, almost immediately brushed the man's hand away, his gaze shifting away from the woman in front of him.
"Gu Yu!"
He Baixuan's voice suddenly rose several octaves, her eyes blazing with fury as she glared at him, "Don't forget who saved your life! Is this how you repay your benefactor?!"
Kindness...it's kindness again...
Gu Yu frowned, his dark, deep eyes filled with too many emotions, but He Baixuan couldn't read them; she only felt that he was ruthless.
"There are three conditions, and now there's only one left. Are you sure you want to use it at this time?"
“Of course!” He Baixuan turned around, saying as she walked, “Only if Lu Rou dies will no one know that I did it. Even if they do know, so what? They have no evidence. Besides, Father will protect me…”
Gu Yu stood in the darkness, sword in hand, and uttered four words: "Utterly foolish."
