Three days later—
“Wanwan, Gu Qingling is dead. Before she died, she had just confessed Sakata Ichino’s conspiracy. Sakata Ichino was the head of the Japanese spy network in China. He had two generals under him, Yamada Jiro and Suzuki Motoyo. In China, Tan Kui, Huang Jianhan, Qi Mingxuan, Liang Hongwei and others had business dealings with him. They were working for Sakata Ichino, and Sakata Ichino promised them benefits afterward,” Gu Chu said.
"Benefits? What benefits could possibly tempt Qi Mingxuan?" Su Wan asked, puzzled.
Gu Chu explained, "The others all received money, more money than they could ever spend, but Qi Mingxuan received it because of the people he had under his command."
"Who?" Su Wan had a guess in her mind, but she hoped she was wrong.
“Your grandmaster has fallen into the hands of the Japanese. Qi Mingxuan wants to obtain the body of the chosen one, but he cannot succeed without the help of a high-level spirit master.”
Gu Chu's words confirmed Su Wan's suspicions, and she asked sadly, "Was Sakata Ichino arrested?"
Gu Chu said angrily, "He fled back to the island nation, but China has issued an arrest warrant for him, and a body was found at his residence."
"It belongs to... Grandmaster?"
"Yes, the forensic examination shows that your grandmaster committed suicide."
"That must be because the islanders forced him to do something against their ancestral teachings."
"What about Qiao Xingyu? What's her situation?"
Gu Guai Su Wan asked this question because she had been lying in bed for three days because Wu Yanran had drugged Shen Baiyan on the night of the 100-day celebration.
"I heard from Bai Yan that it was Qiao Xingyu's needle that killed Gu Qingling. I heard that she specially prepared that needle for me, but I didn't expect it to be used on Gu Qingling." Su Wan felt a sense of relief.
"Qiao Xingyu brought this upon herself, suffering extensive burns and mental damage. After being discharged from the hospital, she will be sent to a mental hospital."
Su Wan sneered, "She deserved it! I never thought she could be so cruel as to kill her own sister."
Gu Chu: "Some people are born selfish and greedy, and are inherently cold-hearted."
Su Wan took Gu Chu's hand and said, "Chu Chu, it's my blessing to have a sister like you. Perhaps I did something great in my past life to be able to meet the best person like you."
Gu Chu laughed and said, "Silly girl, you're the best! Wu Yanran, what are you planning to do about it?"
Su Wan said indignantly, "Don't mention her. I never thought she would drug Bai Yan. If Shen Bai Yan hadn't had a strong will, he probably would have fallen for her trick. Fortunately, the people who came to the banquet that night were all very close to her. Although everyone was disgusted by her actions, they didn't spread the word."
"Beware of fire, theft, and best friends. She's already gone down a dead end. We can't wake her up. We should stay away from her in the future. Maybe she'll wake up after she's been through a few harsh realities in society," Gu Chu said.
"Yes, I've already blocked her. Not making that matter public is the last bit of kindness I can show her. From now on, we'll be strangers."
