Seemingly sensing Song Ze's inner thoughts, Fu Yunche gave him a cold glare. Song Ze felt guilty and immediately looked away, pretending to concentrate on driving.
Chu Yu felt Fu Yunche's concern, and the unpleasantness caused by Chu Ci and her mother quickly dissipated. She smiled and thanked him, "Thank you for getting me out of that predicament."
Fu Yunche looked at her gently and said, "You don't need to be so polite. You are now my wife in name only. If you have any problems, I will naturally stand up for you. Don't worry, with me here, the Chu family won't dare to do anything to you."
Chu Yu hummed in agreement, feeling quite pleased. Having Fu Yunche as a backer was pretty good.
Fu Yunche, thinking about her trip to the police station, comforted her: "On the way here, I already knew the whole story. I believe that Gu Shaoyu's disappearance has nothing to do with you."
"I've already had the posts on the campus forum deleted. As for the Gu family, I called Grandpa Gu and told him about this, instructing them not to cause you any trouble. So you can go back to school and attend classes without worry. Let the police and the Gu family handle the matter of looking for Gu Shaoyu."
Chu Yu was somewhat surprised that he had resolved the matter so quickly. Moreover, even though she hadn't said anything, he believed it had nothing to do with her and helped her clear her name.
She was deeply moved, and her feelings for Fu Yunche surged.
She blinked and asked curiously, "They all doubt me, so why do you trust me so much?"
Fu Yunche looked at her intently and said firmly, "After spending this time together, I know you are a very kind person. I believe in your character, and I know you won't do anything immoral."
This unconditional trust deeply moved her.
Song Ze, who was driving in the front, chimed in, "Young Madam, I also believe in you."
Chu Yu looked up at him and smiled, "Thank you for your trust. This matter really has nothing to do with me. When I saw Gu Shaoyu yesterday, I noticed that his face was dark, and I predicted that he would suffer a bloody disaster. Now it seems that it has come true."
Song Ze was surprised: "So you already knew in advance? Can you calculate where he is now?"
Chu Yu shook his head: "It cannot be calculated."
Song Ze clicked his tongue and said with a deep look in his eyes, "Even you can't figure this out. It seems that the young master of the Gu family is in big trouble this time. He may have been kidnapped by their enemies. However, that kid is a lawless troublemaker. Let him suffer a little."
Chu Yu didn't speak. She looked out the car window, not wanting to get involved in Gu Shaoyu's affairs. He was too arrogant and domineering, and this calamity was destined to be his.
Fu Yunche thought of something and said with a gloomy look, "Today's events have suddenly escalated to such a big extent, it seems like someone deliberately planned it. Song Ze, have someone investigate."
"yes!"
Chu Yu didn't say anything, but she already guessed who was behind it all.
Twenty minutes later, the car arrived at Kyoto University.
Chu Yu got out of the car and went back to school for class, while Fu Yunche and Song Ze went back to work at the company.
Due to Fu Yunche's intervention, the posts on the campus forum have been removed, and the police and the school jointly issued a statement declaring that Chu Yu's disappearance was unrelated to Gu Shaoyu's disappearance.
However, even with the statement, some classmates still dared not approach Chu Yu, as if she had really learned some kind of sorcery. Chu Yu was too lazy to pay attention to those people.
At 5:30 p.m., Chu Yu came out of the teaching building after finishing her class.
Just then, my phone vibrated; a new message had arrived.
She picked up her phone and opened it. The message was a new order from the Underworld Organization: [You have a new bounty order to find Gu Shaoyu. The bounty is 100 million Underworld coins.]
Chu Yu was startled.
Why would the Underworld Group issue a bounty for finding Gu Shaoyu?
Gu Shaoyu is a human, so his bounty should have been issued in the human world. How did it end up in the underworld?
Chu Yu quickly found a secluded corner and messaged customer service representative Xiao Mei, asking: "What's going on? Why is there a bounty on Gu Shaoyu in the Underworld?"
Xiao Mei quickly replied: "[It's like this, after Gu Shaoyu went missing, the Gu family matriarch burned incense and made a wish in the ancestral hall, hoping that her ancestors would bless her and find Gu Shaoyu as soon as possible. One of the Gu family's ancestors works in the underworld, and he received the matriarch's request, so he issued this reward notice on the underworld platform.]"
Chu Yu understood: "I see."
Xiaomei: [This order is different from the previous ones. You can choose to accept it or refuse it.]
Chu Yu looked at the bounty of one hundred million ghost coins and was tempted.
One hundred million ghost money is equivalent to twenty million in human currency, which is no small sum.
She replied to Xiaomei: 【I've accepted the order.】
Xiaomei: [Okay, I believe you can finish the task quickly, good luck!]
After accepting the order, Chu Yu sent a message to Fu Yunche, telling him that she would be back later, and then headed to the street where Gu Shaoyu and Wang Hao had disappeared.
That street isn't far from Kyoto University; it's about a ten-minute walk.
It was getting dark, and there weren't many pedestrians on the street. A cold wind blew, and a piece of white paper money drifted by and landed at Chu Yu's feet.
Chu Yu picked up the paper money and found that it was stained with dark red blood, which looked rather eerie.
She raised an eyebrow, her sharp gaze sweeping around her, sensing a hint of yin energy.
She took out a Bagua compass, and after the compass needle spun around a few times, it pointed north.
Chu Yu understood, hailed a ride-hailing service, and drove to the northern suburbs of the city.
Half an hour later, the car arrived at the foot of a mountain in the suburbs outside the city.
This mountain is called Yanshan. It is covered with lush vegetation and is a famous scenic spot.
Chu Yu got out of the car, holding a compass in her hand. Just as she was about to walk up the mountain, the driver behind her quickly reminded her: "Young lady, it's already dark. What are you doing going up the mountain alone? This mountain has been quite unsafe lately. A few days ago, someone found several mummies on the mountain. I heard that those mummies were particularly terrifying, and all the blood on their bodies had been drained."
Not only that, but the locals also say the mountains are haunted, and it's terrifying at night; now no one dares to go up the mountain after dark.
