Chapter 344 In case of emergency, close the door and let the tiger out.



Han Mingyue then told Gu Yunchu the purpose of her visit.

He didn't need to come in person today; he could have just sent Yuanbao to say hello.

I had been lying down all morning, and after class in the afternoon, Yuanbao made me lie down again. I really couldn't stand lying down anymore, so I thought I'd come with Yuanbao and take a walk.

"Okay! Brother Mingyue, I'll arrange it for you in the next couple of days. You want three thousand catties, right?" Gu Yun Chu's tone softened considerably.

Since they're delivering money to our doorstep, we naturally can't afford to be negligent.

When Uncle Fa Cai arrives tomorrow, we'll have him arrange for people to bring over everything we need.

When Gu Lili left yesterday, she had already told him that he could ask Uncle Facai to deliver anything he wanted.

As for settling the bill, Gu Lili will help calculate it when she returns.

Han Mingyue pursed her lips, secretly marveling at how quickly Gu Yun Chu could change her expression.

When you need someone, call them Brother Mingyue; when you don't need them, call them Young Master Han!

snort!

But Han Mingyue was helpless; after all, Gu Yun Chu was Gu Li Li's younger brother.

"Does Brother Mingyue still have something to do?" Gu Yun Chu asked curiously, seeing that Han Mingyue didn't seem to be planning to leave.

When Gu Yun Chu asked about this, Han Ming Yue felt a little embarrassed.

However, after thinking about it, he decided to tell the truth.

"Yuanbao and I have injured our hands, so it's inconvenient for us to cook. We were thinking of having some meals at your place for the next few months. Don't worry, I'll definitely pay for our meals!"

Actually, the food he and Yuanbao ate today was delivered from Lord Lin's side.

According to his driver, Lin Xiyao cooked the food herself, which made Han Mingyue feel a little embarrassed.

The driver also relayed a message from Lin Xiyao, thanking Yuanbao and Han Mingyue, saying that until Yuanbao's hand recovered, Lin Xiyao would prepare and deliver their meals.

Lin Xiyao's cooking skills were indeed quite good, but Han Mingyue felt it was inappropriate and directly refused.

She told the driver that he had someone to cook, so Lin Xiyao didn't need to cook and bring it over.

Lin Xiyao was, after all, a well-bred young lady who had never married. Although she was doing this to repay a debt of gratitude, it was quite inappropriate for her to cook for him all the time.

Gu Yun Chu nodded and readily agreed, "Sure, it's just a matter of adding two more sets of bowls and chopsticks, no trouble at all!"

Han Mingyue and Yuanbao were both delighted to hear this.

The food at the Gu family's house is different from what other people eat; it always has a flavor that you can't find anywhere else.

"Just give the food expenses to Sister Chenxi directly!" Gu Yun Chu continued.

Han Mingyue readily took out fifty taels and handed them to Gu Chenxi.

"Here's fifty taels. Take it first, and we'll talk about it if you need more. We'll head back now."

Seeing that everyone was about to leave, Han Mingyue naturally couldn't keep them any longer.

Seeing Gu Chenxi's somewhat bewildered expression, Gu Yunchu nodded, indicating that she should accept the gift.

Why not lend him that much money? His hands are injured anyway, so we can arrange some good food for him to help him recover.

Seeing that Gu Chenxi had accepted the money, Han Mingyue turned around and went back to the academy with Yuanbao.

This would allow the Gu family to go about their own business.

"Brother Mingyue, wait a moment, I have something to tell you."

Han Mingyue had only taken a few steps when Gu Yunchu called out to stop her.

Seeing that Han Mingyue had stopped, Gu Yun Chu asked the others to go to the manor to inform everyone first, and then told Han Mingyue about the matter in Chang'an.

However, it was not stated that the two people who sought out Chang'an were assassins.

Although Han Mingyue was curious as to why Gu Lili wanted everyone to conceal their whereabouts in Chang'an, he simply did as Gu Lili said.

It was an hour later when the Gu family finished informing everyone in the village.

Although everyone was curious about the reason, since Gu Lili had spoken on this matter, they naturally had to do as she said.

Putting aside Gu Lili's identity, just considering all the things she has done for them, we should keep this secret for her.

However, some people are dismissive.

"Pah! I'll go against you!"

In the darkness, a figure watched the Gu family leave, spat out a sigh, and slammed the gate of his small, dilapidated courtyard shut.

After informing everyone, Gu Yun Chu finally felt much more at ease.

Now, we just have to wait and see what those two assassins do next.

Gu Yun Chu has already instructed everyone to be on high alert recently.

Li Tiansheng also had a tranquilizer gun, so the responsibility of protecting the family during the day fell to Li Tiansheng and Xiao Li'er.

If there's an emergency, just close the door and let the tiger out!

Gu Yun Chu finished washing up and lay in bed, gradually drifting off to sleep. Meanwhile, Wei Yin and Wei Yue stood in front of the dilapidated house, looking utterly bewildered.

"Brother, is this Osmanthus Village?" Wei Yin couldn't help but ask.

They walked for several hours before finally finding Osmanthus Village by asking for directions.

Neither of them expected that there was only one household in Guihua Village.

Moreover, judging from the dilapidated state of the house, it must have been uninhabited for a long time.

The two of them searched for the person on foot the entire way.

The reason I don't ride a horse or a carriage is because I'm afraid of missing even the slightest clue.

After leaving Baiweixuan, the two carried the portraits and showed them to others as they walked towards Guihua Village.

Just now, someone clearly pointed over here and said it was from Guihua Village.

However, what the man didn't say was that there was only one family in Guihua Village, and that the person was dead.

“It should be right! That person said that Osmanthus Village is at the foot of the hillside, and there is a huge osmanthus tree at the entrance of the village. The name of the village at the entrance is obviously correct.” Wei Yin said coldly.

If this really is Osmanthus Village, then that guy at the restaurant has played them for a fool.

Both of them had considered this point, and their expressions instantly turned cold.

"Let's go! We'll settle the score with him!" Wei Yin roared.

This kid dared to fool them; he deserves a good beating.

Wei Yin shook his head and said, "If we rush back now, the city gates will definitely be closed. Why don't we rest here for the night and go find him first thing tomorrow morning?"

Not only would the city gates be closed if they went back, but it's also uncertain whether they could even find Gu Yun Chu.

After hearing Wei Yin's words, Wei Yue also felt that they made sense.

Nodding, the two grabbed a branch from the yard, lit it with a tinderbox to use as a torch, and walked into the house.

The cabin wasn't locked, and the two of them simply pushed the door open and went inside.

However, as soon as you enter the house, a strange smell hits you.

The room was fully furnished with chairs and benches, and even tea bowls were placed on the table.

Judging from this, this family must have had some urgent business to attend to and left without taking anything with them.

The two men, carrying torches, went into the inner room.

The further you go into the inner room, the stronger the odor becomes.

Wei Yue and Wei Yin couldn't help but cover their mouths and noses with their sleeves.

The two men carried torches and shone them on the bed, their expressions changing drastically.
