Chapter 130: Are You Sick!
After quickly changing, Gu Yu opened the door.
He saw a bailiff in official uniform standing outside, his face as pale as if he had seen a ghost, his body trembling uncontrollably. Gu Yu couldn’t help but frown, a bad premonition suddenly striking him.
‘Seeing his expression, have troubles found us again!
They were hiding inside and not coming out, yet trouble still found them. It’s truly amazing…’
“Who are you?”
“Are you Doctor Gu Yu? Magistrate Bai sent me. He wants to invite you and your wife to Lian Town County Office. Magistrate Bai has something to discuss.”
“Can’t whatever it is wait until daytime? It’s the middle of the night, can’t people rest!”
“You’d better go over. Something big has happened!”
Seeing Gu Yu open the door, the bailiff outside rejoiced and quickly stated his purpose. Gu Yu listened, but didn’t give him a good look, thinking to himself that Bai Wangzhi really knew how to stir up trouble.
‘Staying up late to go to the county office, are you sick!
However, as he listened to the bailiff’s stammering words, Gu Yu felt that the man was definitely hiding something.
To have a bailiff summon someone in the middle of the night, and to be as scared as a trembling chick, Gu Yu began to ponder what could have happened to lead to this development.
As he thought, Gu Yu remembered the terrifying legends of Lian Town that his younger brother-in-law had told him.
He recalled that when Gu Qingheng spoke, he mentioned that Magistrate Bai was the one who suppressed information about the case…
“Did that terrifying monster appear.”
“Ah! How do you know… No, I don’t know anything. Let’s go to Lian Town to see Magistrate Bai and discuss it further!”
Seeing the bailiff’s flustered appearance, Gu Yu was certain of his thoughts.
It seemed to be related to that monster.
But if it’s related to the monster, then calling him and his wife would be of no help, right?
Unless…
“Forget it, who are you fooling with that look? Not only do I know this is related to the monster, but I also know that the monster mentioned the Gu family!”
“…Yes, that’s why the Magistrate sent me here to ask you to personally inspect the scene. He’s worried that if time drags on, there will be unexpected developments.”
“Alright, wait here for a moment. I’ll get ready and go.”
After Gu Yu guessed correctly again, he met the bailiff’s admiring gaze. Gu Yu felt no sense of pride. He wondered if the monster mentioning the Gu family meant they had provoked enemies in the past.
Although, at present, the Gu family’s biggest enemy was the Mysterious Person.
But after causing trouble at Mengyao’s coming-of-age ceremony, it shouldn’t happen so soon!
Having dealt with the Mysterious Person a lot, Gu Yu had some guesses about him. From a few details, he knew that the Mysterious Person wanted the Gu family to perish, but he wasn’t particularly impatient.
It was like a cat playing with a mouse, toying with it a few times before swallowing it whole when it could no longer escape, exhausted.
Otherwise, with the Mysterious Person’s power, the Gu family wouldn’t have been able to remain so peaceful.
As for the Wang Clan, they now hated Gu Yu so much that their resentment, wishing for his death, had probably accumulated quite a bit.
“What! Lian Town has appeared a ferocious monster, and it even mentioned the Gu family.”
“Yes, so Magistrate Bai sent someone to ask us to go to the scene to take a look. Hurry up and get ready, we’re leaving soon!”
Thinking of these things, after Gu Yu returned to the room, he immediately told Gu Mengyao about the matter. This made Gu Mengyao exclaim in surprise, completely not expecting… such a thing to happen in Lian Town.
Gu Yu also did not expect this.
However, since things had already happened, they would face the situation as it arrived, and adapt as needed!
He hoped that Lian Town would not become ‘lively’ again, otherwise, many people would suffer in vain!
And after others suffered, although Gu Yu wouldn’t care about them, with his little wife here, he felt his wallet would become lighter!
Therefore, Gu Yu did not want any natural disasters or man-made calamities to occur.
It was better for life to be peaceful.
“Okay, I’m almost ready. We can leave now… But what about Qingheng? I’m worried about leaving him alone at home.”
“I’ll leave Xi Yang and Little Black here. It should be fine.”
“That’s fine then.”
“No! Sis, brother-in-law, I want to go to Lian Town with you to see that monster!”
Just as Gu Yu and Gu Mengyao were talking, Gu Qingheng’s voice suddenly sounded from outside. With a creaking sound of the door, Gu Qingheng walked in.
At this moment, Gu Qingheng had already changed into his clothes and stood at the door, spirited and energetic. As he spoke, his eyes were filled with excitement.
He had been talking about the terrifying legends of Lian Town earlier… He didn’t expect to have a chance to see it with his own eyes now.
It was truly exciting!
He had to go this time, and he could show off to Zhuo Fei tomorrow.
Gu Yu’s mouth twitched as he watched his younger brother-in-law push the door open, thinking that Gu Qingheng must have been eavesdropping again, and that’s how he knew they were going to Lian Town to see the scene.
‘Such a child, why isn’t he afraid.’
“Qingheng, what nonsense are you talking about? Quickly go back to your room and sleep. You have to go to the academy tomorrow… This matter can be resolved by your sister and me. You shouldn’t join in the fun.”
“No! If you all leave, I’ll be scared by myself.”
“Didn’t I just say I’d leave Xi Yang?”
“No way, Xi Yang always tells me bad jokes, I don’t want to stay home with him at all… Sis, please let me go and see! I’m so curious about what that monster looks like. If you don’t let me go, I won’t be able to sleep tonight.”
“…”
Hearing Gu Mengyao tell him to go to sleep, Gu Qingheng immediately shook his head like a rattle drum, looking like he wouldn’t go back to sleep even if beaten to death. Gu Yu even wanted to drug him directly.
However, with Gu Mengyao present, Gu Yu didn’t make a move.
Next, it was better to let Gu Mengyao deal with her precious brother…
Although Gu Mengyao usually doted on Gu Qingheng, she was unwilling to let her brother take risks when he might see a very bloody scene. Therefore, her attitude was very firm, and she refused to let Gu Qingheng go.
This made Gu Qingheng extremely depressed. He then looked at Gu Yu, who was watching the commotion nearby, and a plan formed in his mind. He thought that if he couldn’t get through his sister, he could go through his brother-in-law!
No matter what, he had to go today!
