Ye Ruan sat on the soft couch in the room, looking out at the garden.
The color in his clear eyes was somewhat deep.
Her phone rang at that moment, and when she saw the string of numbers on the screen, her brow furrowed even more.
But she still answered the phone, "Hello, brother."
Her voice was somewhat muffled, and anyone who paid attention could tell that she was in low spirits. However, Ye Heng didn't even ask her a question before urgently asking, "Ruan Ruan, what's wrong? Why didn't you go in when you got to the Gu family ancestral hall?"
Ye Ruan's small expectation was dashed, and her voice became even more muffled. She blurted out subconsciously, "The Five Elements and Eight Trigrams layout of the Gu Family Ancestral Hall is even more complicated than that in the garden. I couldn't find a way to get in."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, and Ye Heng's voice deepened, "Ruan Ruan, you never lie to your brother."
Ye Ruan took a deep breath. "Brother, I don't want to do this mission anymore. I'm going back to the organization to accept my punishment."
"Ye Ruan, do you know what you're saying?" Ye Heng's voice was as cold as ice, full of anger.
Ye Ruan calmly said, "I know very well what I am saying and doing, but brother, I don't even know what the purpose of this mission is. I'm like a puppet, you tell me one step and I do one step."
If the purpose is only Gu Chen and the Su family, then what is the purpose of going to the Gu family's old ancestral hall now?
What exactly do you want to know?
"Brother, you know all this, don't you? I'm your own sister. I'm risking my life to carry out this mission for you, yet I don't even know what the mission I'm supposed to be."
Hearing Ye Ruan's words, Ye Heng felt a little relieved. As long as Ye Ruan didn't want to abandon the mission because she had fallen for Gu Chen, everything else was fine.
Ye Heng softened his tone and said, "Sister, the mission to the Gu family's old house was assigned by the organization. I don't know much about it. I only know that the organization is looking for something very important, and it's in the Gu family's old house."
After he finished speaking, he said, "Sister, according to the information we have collected, the ancestral hall of the Gu family's old house is indeed dangerous."
"From now on, you'll follow Gu Chen. You don't need to go into the ancestral hall anymore; I'll go myself."
Ye Ruan paused for a moment, then asked, "Brother, are you helping me complete the mission as my brother, or are you switching my mission as a superior?"
"As your older brother, Ruan Ruan, you must remember that no matter what, you will always be the most important person to your older brother."
My parents are gone. In this world, only you and I are left, connected by blood. My original purpose in joining the organization was to avenge my parents.
"Avenging my parents is important to me, but you are more important than revenge!" Ye Heng's voice was devoid of emotion, but it was sincere and earnest.
Ye Ruan's heart skipped a beat, but in the end she did not refuse Ye Heng's suggestion. Instead, she said, "Brother, thank you."
After hanging up the phone, Ye Ruan sat on the soft couch, hugging her knees and looking at the scenery outside.
Today, as soon as she arrived at the ancestral hall with Gu Qing, Gu Chen followed. Clearly, Gu Chen knew her purpose.
So Gu Chen had already seen through her long ago. When did he realize that she had approached him with an ulterior motive?
Why keep indulging her?
She didn't think Gu Chen was the kind of person who would be blinded by so-called love.
On the other side, as Gu Chen returned to the banquet with Gu Jing, Gu Pei smiled and handed Gu Chen a glass of wine, saying, "Gu Chen, it's not right for you to neglect the clan leader and all the elders and uncles here for the sake of your wife. You have to drink a glass as punishment!"
Gu Chen glanced at Gu Pei, took the wine glass from his hand, and drank it.
Gu Pei and Gu Jing exchanged a glance upon seeing this scene, and then both looked at Gu Changxuan standing to the side.
A sinister glint flashed in Gu Changxuan's cloudy eyes, which were so old that his eyelids drooped...
