Chapter 775 Overwhelming



Seeing that he was only smiling and not saying anything, Gu Yilou frowned and said, "Get out of the car."

Uh! Qin Yiheng covered his mouth with his fist, coughed twice, and said seriously, "I have already agreed. Going back on my word will arouse suspicion from the other party. I can only trouble Brother Lou to go home and discuss with Yun Zhen to see how many people we can send to the capital to catch this big fish."

Upon hearing that his younger brother was also involved, Gu Yilou suddenly asked, "Did you two already plan this out?"

Qin Yiheng asked, "What?"

“Yunzhen’s behavior at home is different from usual. Is he also planning to go on a long trip?”

Although it was a question, Gu Yilou's tone carried a sense of certainty.

Qin Yiheng raised an eyebrow: "My brother Lou is getting smarter and smarter."

Gu Yilou's eyes twitched twice, and he was speechless for a moment.

Knowing he couldn't argue with Ah Heng, he could only wave his hand and say, "Alright, get off the bus now." Out of sight, out of mind.

Qin Yiheng clicked his tongue: "How many times have you urged me to come since I got in the car? Don't you want me to stay with you? I see other couples in the honeymoon phase, they can't wait to be together all the time..."

Gu Yilou couldn't listen anymore and glared at him, saying, "Are you going to get off or not?"

"Get out!" Qin Yiheng immediately pushed open the car door and got out, but he didn't close the door. He said with a smile, "Brother Lou, I'll get in next time we meet!"

After he finished speaking, he closed the car door and knocked on the driver's side window.

After the car window was rolled down, Qin Yiheng instructed, "Drive carefully and be safe."

"Yes, Master Heng."

Gu Wu understood that his unspoken message was to get the young master home safely.

Qin Yiheng watched the car disappear from sight before turning to walk towards the elevator. Back in his office, he sneezed.

Who's insulting me?

Qin Yiheng narrowed his eyes.

On the other side, as soon as the car drove out of the parking lot, Gu Yilou realized the deeper meaning of Qin Yiheng's last words.

"..."

He silently turned his head to look out the car window.

At that speed, he could probably get home in two minutes.

Really.

It leaves you speechless.

Gu Yilou raised his hand and rubbed his temples. He had never realized that Aheng spoke like this before; it was so unbearable.

About forty minutes later, Gu Yilou returned to the Gu residence.

After asking where his fourth brother was, he went straight upstairs to Gu Yunzhen's study.

When he reached the door, he raised his hand and knocked: "Knock knock."

Less than a minute later, Gu Yunzhen opened the door, and Gu Yilou saw that he was on the phone and didn't say anything.

"I understand, I'll talk to you later."

After Gu Yunzhen ended the call with a single sentence, she saw Gu Yilou and asked, "Big brother, did you just come back from Heng-ge's place?"

Gu Yilou coughed twice, not answering his question, but instead asking, "Did you know the other party was coming to the capital city when you made that phone call just now?"

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow in surprise: "It seems that Brother Heng has already told you."

Gu Yilou looked slightly uneasy, but he pretended to be calm and said "Hmm": "Aheng asked me to come back and discuss this with you. He is going to meet the other party tomorrow night, but the other party may show up, or it may just be a trap."

"Someone contacted Heng-ge? Who did they contact?" Gu Yunzhen was quite curious about which unlucky guy had been caught in the trap.

Gu Yilou's lips twitched slightly: "It's Lao Bai."

"So it was him. He went back to the capital?" Gu Yunzhen recognized Su Tingbai; he was the most eccentric of his elder brother's friends.

Gu Yilou sighed and said, "I'm afraid I have no choice but to come back this time."

He guessed that the other party had been implicated by them.

Gu Yunzhen noticed her brother's emotions and comforted him, "It's not that serious. Although tonight is a bit rushed, it's not impossible to do it. Brother Heng has a plan in mind, so you don't need to worry too much."

Gu Yilou looked slightly taken aback.

Did he seem worried?

"Brother, it's written all over your face, how could it not be obvious?"

Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow and suddenly smiled, saying, "I guess you're completely under Heng's thumb."

Gu Yilou vehemently denied it: "Don't talk nonsense."

"Hehe." Gu Yunzhen chuckled, not arguing with him, after all, his older brother was the person involved.

Moreover, arguing about this is pointless.

Brother Heng will have to pay a visit eventually; we can talk about it then.

Gu Yunzhen spoke seriously: "Big brother, let's discuss tonight's plan now."

"good."

Gu Yilou and Gu Yunzhen spent the afternoon in the study, gradually refining their plans for the evening, until it got dark.

Just then, Gu Yunzhen's phone rang.

He glanced at the screen and saw that it was Shangguan Wu calling. He quickly answered the phone.

"young married woman."

"Mom wants you and your older brother to come down for dinner."

After Shangguan Wu finished speaking, Gu Yunzhen's lips twitched slightly: "Aren't you going to come up to me?"

“Aren’t you talking about business? What if I hear something I shouldn’t? Should I ask or not? If I don’t ask, I’ll feel suffocated. If I do ask, you won’t answer. So why don’t we just come downstairs and have dinner first, then we can continue our conversation?”

After Shangguan Wu set off a string of firecrackers, he ended the call.

Gu Yunzhen's eyelids twitched. Was his wife really that angry? Should he think of a way to put out the fire?

Because of the proximity and the quietness of the study, Gu Yilou also heard the contents of the phone call.

He stood up, patted Gu Yunzhen on the shoulder and said, "You've been behaving differently these past few days, it's normal that your fourth sister-in-law noticed. Sometimes it's not the best to keep it a secret. Have a good talk with her after dinner."

Gu Yunzhen pressed her temples and hummed in agreement.

He only planned to leave quietly for two or three days, deal with Master Meng, and then come back to confess to his wife. He would do whatever punishment he was given, such as kneeling on a keyboard or playing the suona.

But before the plan could even begin, he was first sent away by the suona (a traditional Chinese wind instrument).

Because the other party has most likely come to the Imperial City, but no one knows where they are hiding, waiting for an opportunity to strike.

The two brothers came downstairs, and everyone was sitting in the dining room eating.

"Sorry to keep you waiting," Gu Yilou said first.

Ji Moyan looked at them and said, "We didn't wait for you. If you're late, we'll have the kitchen make you some extra fried rice. It smells delicious."

Gu Yilou: "..."

Even though his own mother only gave him fried rice with eggs, Gu Yunzhen's handsome face remained calm. He walked over and sat down next to Shangguan Wu, confidently saying, "My wife will definitely save some food for me."

Shangguan Wu raised her delicate eyebrows: "Fried rice with egg?"

Ji Moyan was the first to laugh out loud.

Yan Yirou couldn't help but chuckle; Wu Bao was so funny!

A smile flickered in Gu Yunzhen's deep eyes, and he cleared his throat twice: "As long as it's given by my wife, I won't mind."

Shangguan Wu pursed her lips. Since her family was present, she gave him face and simply said, "Let's eat."

But Gu Yunzhen ate absentmindedly.

He thought he could make his wife happy, but she was so clear-headed and completely unmoved.

Gu Yunzhen leaned down and whispered in her ear, "Wife, after we finish eating, we'll go back to our room. I'll answer any questions you have."

Only after he finished speaking did he pick up his bowl and chopsticks to eat.

Shangguan Wu was extremely surprised.
