In the deserted neighborhood, the only remaining presence was a room on the fourth floor of the dilapidated building where the Imperial Finance Vice-Officer was located, where three living people still lingered.
"Sir, I'll go and wake the girl right away."
After speaking, seeing that Gu Changqing beside him did not respond, Wang Qi knew that this meant he had tacitly approved of his actions.
He quickly walked to the girl who was leaning against the bed and fast asleep.
A pair of fat hands grabbed the girl's two black and shiny ponytails that hung down in front of her.
After securing her firmly, Wang Qi used the girl's twin ponytails to shake her head while urging her on.
"Hey, wake up, wake up now!"
Under the invisible pressure from Gu Changqing behind him, Wang Qi could no longer care about his desires. He only wanted to wake up the young and lovely girl in front of him as soon as possible to satisfy Gu Changqing's needs.
As he roughly shook her and urged her loudly, the girl, who had been sleeping, gradually opened her bright eyes.
As she opened her eyes, the girl saw a fat, middle-aged man grabbing her ponytail and shaking her head violently.
Having just been roughly awakened, the girl looked at the middle-aged man who had woken her with slightly blurry eyes, her gaze filled with confusion as she looked at Wang Qi.
However, as Wang Qi continued to increase his strength, the girl seemed to be in pain, and first let out a soft cry.
"Waaah..."
Then her eyes brightened, as if she had come to her senses and could clearly see the face of the person in front of her.
The obese middle-aged man grabbing her pigtails and yelling at her was none other than Wang Qi, the Imperial Finance Minister who had caused her grandfather's current predicament.
After seeing this clearly, the girl immediately broke free of Wang Qi's grasp and quickly got up, retreating to the corner of the wall.
She looked at Wang Qi in the room with a mixture of anger and doubt, then turned to the most handsome and dashing man she had ever seen in her life.
With a hint of questioning in her voice, the girl asked Wang Qi sharply:
"What are you doing here? You're not welcome here. Aren't you afraid people will find out you're here?"
After living alone in this house for so long, the girl naturally understood why Wang Qi had sent people to lock her in this house.
However, Wang Qi had no interest in teasing the cute girl at this moment. He simply turned to Gu Changqing behind him and said respectfully:
"My lord, she has woken up. You may now inquire about the whereabouts of the jade pendant."
grown ups?
The girl kept thinking about the meaning of Wang Qi's words. Could it be that the person who looked to be about the same age as her actually had a higher status than Wang Qi?
Gu Changqing ignored the two men's thoughts and simply took out the gold jade pendant he had obtained from Wang Qi from his ring.
He then walked up to the girl, picked up the jade pendant with his left hand, hung it in front of her, and said coldly:
"Where are the remaining jade pendants?"
"I've kept the remaining jade pendants in my possession..."
Looking at Gu Changqing in front of her, the girl didn't know why, but after hearing his words, she subconsciously wanted to answer where the jade pendant was. However, she immediately came to her senses and looked at the handsome man in front of her with a look of horror. He was holding the gold jade pendant and fiddling with it.
When the girl stopped speaking halfway through her sentence, Wang Qi felt like an ant on a hot pan.
Tell me quickly! Why don't you tell me which official is angry and has taken care of us all?
Wang Qi kept urging the girl in his heart to quickly tell him the whereabouts of the remaining gold and jade pendants, but he could only urge her silently in his heart and dared not interrupt Gu Changqing's questioning.
