"By the way, Miss Gu, I've heard that you have a wide social circle and know many celebrities. There are a few of them that I haven't seen in a long time. When you return to China, could you please give them my regards?"
“Your Grace, you flatter me. Please feel free to ask for anything.” Gu Momo met his slightly weathered eyes and saw a firmness in them, which made her feel even more excited.
Li Zhanting's father deliberately lured her to the royal family of Y country to pass on this information to her!
And this must also reveal the reason why Li Zhanting's father has not returned to the capital for so many years!
Li Tianyi casually sipped his tea, then reminded her, "The names I'm about to mention are all old friends of mine from decades ago. They are very important, so I'll trouble Miss Gu to make sure you remember them and pass on a message to them for me later."
"Okay, please go ahead."
"Wang Xuehua, a scientist in the scientific research community, is a friend of mine for many years, and Bao Qiangzhen..." The Duke named more than a dozen people in a row, and Gu Momo remembered them all.
Perhaps still worried, before leaving, the Duke asked her again, "Miss Gu, did you remember those names from earlier?"
"I understand, Your Grace. Please rest assured, I will definitely convey your message."
"Then I'll have to trouble you, Miss Gu."
Gu Momo got up and walked to the door, turning back every few steps to indicate to the Duke that he didn't need to get up to see her off. When she was almost at the door, Li Tianyi suddenly called out to her, looking at her with delight and saying, "The piece you played was very good."
Gu Momo never expected to receive praise and appreciation for her original work in her lifetime. It was worth all the years she had spent pursuing the piano.
Inside the study, Butler Wu only went back in after Gu Momo had left.
The teacups on the tea table were removed, and Li Tianyi was given a glass of whiskey on the rocks. At this moment, Li Tianyi had also taken off his Zhongshan suit and put on a high-quality, specially customized suit.
"Duke, is this really alright? If Miss Gu doesn't understand what you mean, all your plans will be for nothing," Butler Wu said worriedly as he took away the teapot and tea set.
In the years since arriving in Country Y, the master has changed all his preferences in order to completely prevent anyone from seeing any trace of his past. Even after forty years of following him, he has not seen him wearing a Zhongshan suit for a long time.
Li Tianyi looked out the window. Gu Momo's figure grew smaller and smaller until she became a white dot, and nothing could be seen anymore. He then slowly said, "Since she is the woman Zhan Ting has taken a liking to, she must be quite good. Put all these things away."
Moreover, who in this world can compare to Rong Muhua's daughter?
Butler Wu sighed and put the used tea set and Zhongshan suit into a hidden compartment in the wardrobe.

When Gu Momo reached the gate of the noble area of the palace villa, she paused for a second, suddenly remembering the names Li Tianyi had given her, and immediately asked the security guard, "Where is the restroom?"
Seeing her anxious appearance, the security guard assumed she was in a hurry to resolve the issue and quickly took her there.
Upon seeing the doorplate, Gu Momo politely thanked them, then immediately ran to the restroom, took out a pen from her bag, and pulled out a paper towel from the restroom to list all the names the Duke had just told her.
After confirming that her order was correct, Gu Momo tried to recombine the characters in these names, but after several attempts, she still couldn't piece together any useful information.
"How could this be?" She frowned and looked again at the rows of names on the paper towel.
Suddenly, she remembered that many years ago, English business was popular in the capital, and the people the Duke mentioned were all people he had a good relationship with during that era.
So she immediately replaced everyone's name with English letters, circled the first letter, and sure enough, these letters combined to form a very important message—
"The queen is a fake; the blood jade ring is in her hands."
Gu Momo looked at the circled initials on the paper and repeatedly spelled them out to make sure the information was correct. She checked it three times before finally confirming that this was the message that Li Zhanting's father wanted to convey.
Three years ago, Gu Momo came to Country Y for the first time to discuss cooperation with the Queen of Country Y. During their time together, the Queen of Country Y grew to appreciate her greatly. She even jokingly said that she wanted to stay in Country Y and marry the most outstanding, brave, and intelligent man in Country Y.
At that time, Gu Momo thought that her cooperation with Country Y was a done deal, so she returned to the capital.
However, when she personally delivered the cooperation agreement to the Queen of Y country at the agreed time, the Queen reneged on the deal on the spot. From then on, Gu Momo never came to Y country again, and her relationship with the Queen of Y country instantly plummeted to a freezing point.
It turns out that none of this was a coincidence, nor was it as rumored that the Queen of Country Y had a drastic change in personality due to a serious illness.
Rather, the very existence of the Queen is a conspiracy!
But what is the relationship between this queen and Li Tianyi?
Is this the only reason why Li Tianyi hasn't returned to the capital for so long?
Furthermore, when the invitation was sent to her, they clearly stated that the Y country had information about the Shao family...
The more Gu Momo thought about it, the more she felt that things in Y country were not so simple, and she immediately felt her nerves tighten.
She quickly threw the paper towel into the water, and the writing on it instantly dissolved along with the paper, becoming a secret forever.
She immediately left the restroom; she had to get out of there as soon as possible!
But just as I reached the door, I suddenly heard a series of hurried footsteps behind me.
"Who dares to trespass into the noble district!" By the time she turned around, the royal army of Country Y had already surrounded her.
Soon, the impenetrable wall of people slowly parted, and a man in a suit and tie stood in front of her.
Gu Momo didn't recognize this person and subconsciously maintained a strong sense of vigilance.
She had just come from Li Zhanting's father's place when she was immediately targeted. It's likely that someone was secretly watching Li Zhanting's father!
The man in front of me has short, light blond hair, a high nose bridge, and well-defined bone structure. He can also mobilize the royal army at will, so he must be related to the Queen!
"Count Denis, it was this woman who sneaked into the noble district under the pretext of using the restroom." Sure enough, Gu Momo's guess was correct.
Dennis's gaze fell on Gu Momo, a hint of amazement flashing in his eyes.
He had seen many beautiful women, but this was the first time he had ever seen a woman who could capture people's attention even without makeup.
He always cherished women, and seeing such a beauty as Gu Momo, he naturally didn't want to let her leave easily. Moreover, this woman had indeed committed the crime of trespassing.
"Guards, seize her!"
