Chapter 46: Xi Yang Returns
After finally leaving Chengfeng Shan’s house, Gu Yu walked back towards the Gu Residence.
After eating and drinking his fill, he wanted to lie on the bed and rest properly. This was enjoying life!
However, it was regrettable that his little wife was not by his side, otherwise, he would have been happier.
Thinking of Mengyao Gu in Yang Family Village, Gu Yu couldn’t help but sigh. Then, with his hands in his sleeves, he walked slowly, pondering what to do next.
Now that he had made a deal with the Alliance, and had visited his father-in-law and friends, there was no reason to stay in the capital anymore, except for not having emptied the Wang Clan’s wallets yet.
If he could leave quickly, he would leave immediately!
But, he seemed to have forgotten something…
“Gu Laoda, I’m back!!!”
As Gu Yu was trying hard to recall what he had forgotten, a loud shout suddenly echoed from behind him, making him freeze for a moment. Only then did he remember what he had forgotten.
Xi Yang hadn’t returned yet!
However, listening to Xi Yang’s full-throated voice, he must not have suffered any hardships while being held by the Alliance.
After all, Bai Qian had wanted to negotiate with him for a long time, so she wouldn’t do anything to harm a hostage.
Indeed…
When Gu Yu turned around to look at Xi Yang, he couldn’t help but twitch the corner of his mouth as he saw Xi Yang’s face, which had gotten two pounds fatter.
Xi Yang didn’t look like a hostage who had been captured at all; he looked like someone who had just returned from a trip!
Compared to him, who had been fighting wits with Bai Qian, Xi Yang seemed incredibly relaxed!
“Did the Alliance release you?”
“Yes! Thanks to Gu Laoda, otherwise I would still be trapped in the Alliance eating… Cough, cough. I felt like life had no meaning without seeing your handsome face, Gu Laoda, during this time. It was like the night sky without the moon, or fish without water. Not seeing you for a few days made my longing for you…”
“Stop, stop, stop. After staying with the Alliance for a few days, your flattery has become more and more sickening!”
“Hehehe, how could that be! They all said my flattery was bad, so they stopped teaching me after that.”
“Then don’t flatter anymore… Look, everyone around is looking at us strangely!”
Seeing Xi Yang alive and kicking again, Gu Yu also felt relieved. Now that he was sure Xi Yang was safe and unharmed by the Alliance, he no longer had to worry.
Gu Yu had been worried that the Alliance might have chopped off Xi Yang’s hands…
“Then let’s hurry and walk forward. My handsome face should not be involved with men. If Little Red sees it, she’ll think I’m gay and that would be bad.”
“…”
Xi Yang did not explain in detail his days in the Alliance, but based on what he said now, it was not difficult to imagine that he had lived very comfortably.
Good food, good drink, and women.
As for the word “gay,” having been by Gu Yu’s side for a long time, Xi Yang had heard many modern terms and internet slang from him.
Therefore, when he heard Xi Yang say “gay” now, Gu Yu did not find it strange at all.
He just didn’t know when Xi Yang had become enlightened enough to think about not letting others misunderstand him.
If it were before, he might have made others misunderstand him even more.
“Why did the Alliance release you so easily? I thought they would at least wait until I delivered the exchanged items before releasing you.”
“I’m not too sure about that either. When I was first caught by the Alliance, I thought I was dead! But then, the Alliance didn’t treat me like a traitor. Instead, they took me to a secluded courtyard and let me live there alone for a few days… Fortunately, Little Red came to keep me company every day to relieve my boredom, otherwise, this kind of life would have been very difficult to endure!”
After playing around for a while, Xi Yang became serious.
While Gu Yu and Xi Yang were talking, they also started walking towards the Gu Residence, planning to chat while walking and share what had happened in the past few days.
Xi Yang had been away for a while, and not much had happened on Gu Yu’s end. The most important thing was to hear about Xi Yang’s experiences in the Alliance.
“Little Red? I didn’t expect that after only a few days in the capital, you would have hooked up with another woman?”
“Hehe, maybe the Alliance sent her to approach me, so it’s not serious.”
When he mentioned Little Red, Xi Yang smiled helplessly, knowing that after leaving the Alliance this time, he would no longer be able to see Little Red.
They were fated but not destined to be together!
Seeing Xi Yang’s heartbroken look, Gu Yu didn’t know what to say and could only pat his shoulder, signaling him to accept his condolences.
He didn’t know what was wrong today… Besides Maoyuan Tang, there was now another Xi Yang who was love-struck.
“There are still so many women in Linfeng Kingdom, you’ll always find someone you like. So, don’t be sad. If there’s really fate, you’ll meet again in the future.”
“Yes, with this handsome face, I think so too!”
Fortunately, Xi Yang was only sad for a while and then returned to his usual self. Whether he had truly moved on or was just pretending, only he himself would know.
However, if Xi Yang really couldn’t forget that Little Red, Gu Yu could discuss it with Bai Qian.
After redeeming Xi Yang, redeeming Little Red wouldn’t be too difficult.
Being able to bring them together would also be a very good thing.
But, he would have to ask the woman’s opinion first. If it was just Xi Yang’s unrequited love, he should let him calm down first!
Although marriages in ancient times were arranged, Gu Yu’s thoughts were different. He supported free love even more.
“By the way, Gu Laoda! When I was leaving the Alliance, someone asked me to give you this. They said it’s something you need right now!”
“What?”
“I don’t know either, it’s just a piece of paper.”
As he spoke, Xi Yang took out a folded piece of paper from his waist and handed it to Gu Yu, staring curiously at the paper, wondering what was written on it.
When Gu Yu saw the paper, he was filled with curiosity. As he unfolded it, he saw a map with many red circles drawn on it, and the corner of his mouth couldn’t help but turn upwards.
This map looked familiar.
He remembered that when he didn’t know the addresses of the main members of the Wang Clan, the map the Alliance had given him looked like this.
And now, seeing this piece of paper, Gu Yu immediately knew what kind of map it was after a moment’s thought.
It seemed that the Wang Clan had made a lot of money recently!
These many red circles were the places where they hid their money.
“Xi Yang, we’ll be busy tonight. We’ll rest well after we go back.”
“Where are we going tonight?”
“To get money.”
