When Ye Ruan followed the Gu family into a secluded house, Gu Qing was already tied up and sitting in a chair.
Gu Qing looked at Ye Ruan, initially surprised, then frowned slightly and asked, "Why are you here?"
She wasn't stupid; when the mute servant led her past Gu Chen's courtyard, she had already seen what was happening inside.
At that time, Ye Ruan had the absolute upper hand. If Ye Ruan was unwilling, there was no way anyone could bring her here.
But the fact that she's here now can only mean that she came because of her.
Ye Ruan naturally helped her untie the ropes binding her body, and then sat down next to her. "They said you took me to the ancestral hall to steal your Gu family's heirloom. As a guest, I certainly have to give the host some face and cooperate with them!"
However, it's unclear whether the police will be able to uncover the truth before they arrive.
Gu Qing frowned deeply. "You called the police?"
"Hmm. If a theft occurs, and it's a priceless heirloom like this, shouldn't we call the police?" Ye Ruan said calmly.
Gu Qing gave her a strange look and said, "It's no use. The police won't respond if they know it's something that happened at the Gu family's old house."
There's too much filth in here that can't be exposed to the light of day. Those people have already pulled strings and will definitely not let that filth be revealed to the public.
Ye Ruan smiled and said, "Others might not get police dispatched when they call the police, but it's not certain if I do."
Because she not only called the police, but also sent text messages to her second and fifth cousins.
The Xiao family and the Su family are one entity.
Although the Su family has now moved to Beijing, their roots in Chongqing remain.
It's no exaggeration to say that the Su family is the local tyrant of Chongqing. With the second and fifth cousins taking action, even if the police are concerned about the Su family, they can't just ignore this matter.
Gu Qing looked out the door at that moment.
Actually, she herself felt a little strange, because after Gu Pei and Gu Jing brought Ye Ruan here, they left in a hurry.
Now, apart from a few mute slaves guarding them, there is no one watching over them at all.
She instinctively knew that something must have happened in the old house again.
However, Gu Qing also knew that even if no one was watching over them, they would not be able to leave this place.
This is the Xingtang Hall of the Gu family, and the arrangement of the Five Elements and Eight Trigrams outside the Xingtang Hall is even more complex than that of the ancestral hall.
Furthermore, the layout of the ancestral hall is generally known to the Gu family members who are close enough by blood, but no one except the clan head and the person in charge of Xing Hall knows about it.
Gu Qing had no intention of running away. She looked at Ye Ruan and asked, "You really stole something from the ancestral hall?"
"What do you think?" Ye Ruan asked her in return.
Gu Qing raised an eyebrow. "Judging from your appearance, you probably don't have any left."
But that's a bit strange. Someone did break into the ancestral hall today and even stole something. If it wasn't you, then who was it?
Gu Chen?
When she voiced this guess, she quickly shook her head and said, "No, back then Gu Chen hadn't been tricked yet. With his power, if he wanted anything from the Gu family, he could have just robbed it; there was no need for him to steal it."
Ye Ruan: ...
It's as if Gu Chen stole something from the Gu family's old house.
All these years, hasn't Gu Chen been following the Gu family rules and dutifully supporting these bloodsuckers in the old mansion?
"Do you know what's missing?" Ye Ruan changed the subject and asked Gu Qing.
Gu Qing frowned slightly and said, "I don't know exactly what it is, but there should only be one thing hidden in the Gu family ancestral hall that would make someone go to great lengths to steal it."
"What is it? Can you tell me?" Ye Ruan asked again.
Gu Qing glanced at her. "Actually, there's nothing I can't say. It's just that I'm not in the Gu family's management, so I don't know the specifics. I heard it's a jade pendant, and it seems that there's a treasure map hidden inside. According to that treasure map, we can find the treasure left by the Gu family's ancestors."
Ye Ruan raised an eyebrow. "People die for wealth, birds die for food. Were the Gu family's ancestors very rich?"
She knew that her brother had most likely taken the item and would hand it over to the organization.
It's not surprising that the organization would resort to such unscrupulous means to amass wealth.
She always felt that the organization she and her brother joined was not like an ordinary special agent mercenary organization. The people at the top of this organization were very mysterious, and her intuition told her that those people had great ambitions.
Gu Qing said, "They are very wealthy, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say they are richer than a country. The story in our family is that when the country was in chaos, our ancestor used a small portion of his wealth to build this old house."
Later, to avoid attracting unwanted attention, the ancestors established a rule that only one branch of the family could go out to do business to support the entire clan in each generation.
Ye Ruan's eyes were deep, and her slender, white fingers, as thin as scallion roots, tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair. "When your ancestors set this rule, they must have also thought of ways to restrain the branch of the clan that was doing business outside, right?"
