Under the same moonlight.
Imperial Capital, Weiming Club, top-floor luxury box.
Gu Jinzhi moved a chair and sat in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, quietly gazing at the night view of the city outside the window.
Zeng Yi followed suit and dragged a chair over, but sat on it backwards.
He crossed his arms on the back of the chair, rested his chin on the back of his hands, and looked out along Gu Jinzhi's line of sight.
I looked for a long time but couldn't see anything.
I really don't understand how Gu Jinzhi had the patience to keep the same posture and watch for half an hour.
Finally, Zeng Yi couldn't hold it in anymore.
"I said, Brother Dazhi, when you called me out, I thought you were thinking it over before your wedding and wanted to have a bachelor party night."
"So you brought me here to see the night view? If you want to see the night view, why don't you go to the top floor of my home, the Jianguo Building? There's a 360-degree view, isn't it better than here?"
He leaned forward, a smirk on his face.
"Tell me the truth, are you missing your sister-in-law?"
"Then you climbed in through the window and onto your sister-in-law's bed, and then, hehe..."
As Gu Jinzhi listened to his increasingly outrageous words, he finally withdrew his gaze from the window and glanced at him coldly.
"Zeng Yi, I have a piece of advice for you."
Zeng Yi scratched his head, his face full of curiosity: "What advice?"
Gu Jinzhi's voice was flat, and no emotion could be heard: "One day when we meet, if your sister-in-law's hand touches the belt buckle, remember to run away immediately."
Zeng Yi: ???
Belt buckle?
He tilted his head and pondered for a while, then a light bulb went off in his head, and he suddenly remembered the Jiang family's unique weapon - the cicada wing soft sword!
A chill ran from his tailbone straight to the back of his head. Zeng Yi shuddered all over, laughed awkwardly twice, and looked around like a thief.
"Brother Dazhi, I was just joking, please don't tell my sister-in-law..."
Gu Jinzhi ignored him and his gaze drifted back to the window.
The box fell into silence again.
About half an hour later, until Zeng Yi began to scratch his ears and cheeks and felt terrified all over, Gu Jinzhi's voice finally rang out.
"Zeng Yi, does your third uncle work in the Ministry of Public Security?"
Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, not realizing how the topic had jumped to this point, but he still nodded honestly: "Yes, Deputy Minister of Public Security, what's the matter?"
Gu Jinzhi's fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, his eyes slightly narrowed, the night settled in his pupils.
After a few breaths, he said, "I'd like to ask your Third Uncle for a favor. Check Jiang Xue's biometric records to see if anyone has tampered with them recently."
Zeng Yi was stunned when he heard this. He opened his mouth and it took him a long time to catch his breath.
The cynical expression on his face disappeared in an instant, replaced by an expression of disbelief and astonishment.
“You suspect my sister-in-law… not my sister-in-law?”
"No, you suspect that my sister-in-law is someone else in disguise?!"
Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips, and the lines of his face looked even colder and harder under the reflection of the city's neon lights.
"I asked you to check, so you just checked. Why are you talking so much nonsense?"
Zeng Yi took a deep breath and no longer had the mood to play around.
He dragged the chair next to Gu Jinzhi, put a hand on his shoulder, and asked in a low voice, "Did Aunt Liang do it?"
Gu Jinzhi's eyelashes trembled, but he showed no emotion.
"It's just a guess and needs to be verified," he said.
"Still guessing?" Zeng Yi's eyes widened like bells. "Brother Dazhi, don't I know you well enough? If you weren't 70% or 80% sure, would you let me check?"
The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but then another doubt arose in his mind.
"That's not right... Where can Aunt Liang find someone who has reached the Great Perfection of Nourishing Blood to replace Jiang Xue? This doesn't make sense at all!"
Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips tightly into a line: "So, it's just a guess."
"Hurry up."
"Okay, okay, I'll call now and let my uncle investigate overnight!"
Zeng Yi immediately took out his cell phone and quickly found his third uncle's number.
However, just as his thumb was about to press the green dial button, a large bony hand suddenly reached over and held his hand tightly.
Zeng Yi blinked, and met Gu Jinzhi's deep and complex eyes, and was completely speechless.
It's you who allows the beating, and it's also you who doesn't allow the beating. What are you trying to do?
Gu Jinzhi lowered his eyes, his gaze lingering on the bright mobile phone screen for a long time, so long that Zeng Yi felt his hands were sore, before he slowly spoke.
"Forget it, don't check it."
"Whatever I said today, once you leave this door, just pretend you didn't hear it."
Zeng Yi was about to go crazy: "No, Brother Dazhi, how can you forget about this?"
Gu Jinzhi let go of his hand and didn't explain anymore. He just turned his head to the window, like a silent sculpture.
Zeng Yi looked at him like this, feeling anxious and speechless.
Sitting there doing nothing was not a good idea. He remembered what the housekeeper had reported during the day and decided to change the subject to at least ease the atmosphere.
"By the way, Daizhi...Brother," he cleared his throat, "around the 20th of last month, you went to my martial arts gym and got beaten... oh no, it was training."
"After the incident, there was a girl delivering medicine who tried to hit on you, remember?"
Gu Jinzhi uttered a single sound from his throat.
"Um."
Zeng Yi became interested and continued, "Later, I asked someone to check and found out that the girl was from the Zhang family. Moreover, there was more than one of her."
