Chapter 154: Gu Yu is such a hot commodity!
Sometimes, things happen so suddenly.
Just after Gu Yu refused to take his younger brother-in-law out to play, he immediately received the latest news… the Zhou family was finished.
And the official who arrested everyone from the Zhou family was his father-in-law, Gu Qing, which made Gu Yu really not know what to say.
This father-in-law kept his mouth shut well.
He didn’t even tell his son-in-law that he had secretly brought people to wipe out the Zhou family.
However, with the Zhou family dealt with, it also meant that there were no major issues with Bai Qian.
Regardless of whether Bai Qian still suspected him in her heart, by directly capturing Zhou Li, it showed that she believed Zhou Li was of royal blood.
Otherwise, she wouldn’t be so anxious.
Of course, it was also due to the efforts of the Royal Support Squad, otherwise, it wouldn’t have been so smooth.
Thinking about these things, Gu Yu didn’t stay in the room any longer. Instead, he prepared to find people from the Alliance to inquire about the specific situation… for example, how to deal with the people of the Zhou family.
As for why, it was naturally to play the part to the fullest.
It was clearly he who reported the Zhou family to Bai Qian. Now that the Zhou family had been arrested, if Gu Yu showed no reaction, it would make Bai Qian suspicious.
Of course, he couldn’t overact.
After meeting with the people from the Alliance, he could start by helping his father-in-law get revenge. Although he might be misunderstood as petty, it would be more convincing.
“Brother-in-law, where are you going!”
“Where else can I go? Just wandering around!”
“Tch, I don’t believe you! No matter where you go, brother-in-law, I’m coming with you.”
“Go away, go away, don’t cause trouble. If you reveal yourself, you’ll drag me down.”
Just as Gu Yu was leaving the room and before he could even walk out of the courtyard, Gu Qingheng, who had been ambushing him nearby, suddenly appeared, startling Gu Yu, who thought another assassin had appeared.
The medicinal powder in his hand was already ready. After seeing that it was Gu Qingheng, Gu Yu put the medicinal powder back.
Afterwards, he glared at Gu Qingheng with annoyance, thinking that this kid had been waiting here, definitely guessing what he was going to do, and wanted to go along.
However, Gu Yu was going to see the people from the Alliance, not to go out and play, so he naturally wouldn’t easily agree to Gu Qingheng’s request.
“Brother-in-law, just take me with you! I promise I won’t say anything out of line, I’ll just keep my mouth shut and just use these big eyes to look.”
“That won’t do either. This isn’t a child’s play, I can’t take you with me… even I have to be prepared, you’re still too young, and you’ll be seen through easily.”
“…”
“Alright, alright, I won’t take you with me this time. But when I come back, I’ll tell you all the news I hear.”
“You said that, brother-in-law. Then I won’t tag along and cause trouble.”
Fortunately, Gu Qingheng knew the importance of the matter, so he didn’t stubbornly insist. After making a pinky promise with Gu Yu, he happily ran off to ask his father about the details of the arrest of the Zhou family.
If only he could go along, he would definitely be able to see the frightened appearance of the arrogant head of the Zhou family.
That would be very satisfying.
His father, not everyone can bully…
“My younger brother-in-law, besides being mischievous sometimes, is mostly quite obedient.”
After seeing Gu Qingheng leave obediently, Gu Yu couldn’t help but shake his head with a smile. Then, he didn’t waste any more time and quickly left the Gu Residence, heading towards the place where the Alliance accepted commission missions.
Because the distance wasn’t too far, Gu Yu didn’t want to take a carriage, so he chose to walk by himself leisurely.
The streets were crowded, and unlike the desolation during the earthquake, the capital’s vitality had completely recovered.
It wasn’t easy!
Thinking about the adverse effects of the earthquake and the consequences of soaring prices, Gu Yu felt that it was better for things to be normal.
Although, in extraordinary times, one could make a fortune, but even earned silver was hot to the touch.
Of course, it wasn’t that Gu Yu suddenly found his conscience.
It was just that his little wife was different from him. During extraordinary times, unlike Gu Yu who chose to stand by and watch, Gu Mengyao would extend her warm hands and pull people who had fallen into a deep pit back up.
Then, Gu Yu’s private coffers would decrease at a visible speed.
Although Gu Yu felt a pang of pain at this, after seeing Gu Mengyao’s smile, he immediately felt that the money was well spent!
He even wanted to give her more.
There was no helping it, Gu Mengyao was his nemesis!
Thinking of this, Gu Yu truly felt helpless and sweet!
However, after experiencing more, Gu Yu also realized… as long as it was not peaceful around him, his private coffers would be depleted faster.
Therefore, Gu Yu hoped for world peace.
“Lord Gu, what brings you here!”
“Nothing, I’m just wandering around… how much do you know about the Zhou family’s situation?”
“I know everything! Today, no less than twenty people have come to ask me about the Zhou family’s situation… for this, I specifically contacted informants to send me the news about the Zhou family.”
“Since that’s the case, what will happen to the Zhou family next?”
When Gu Yu arrived at the Alliance’s commission mission location, the black-robed person who was originally sitting coldly, although his face was covered by a mask at the moment, the fawning smile on his lips was not concealed. Coupled with his sycophantic attitude, it was a stark contrast.
If Zhou Li were present, he would definitely be so depressed that he couldn’t speak.
After all, when the black-robed person received him before, his attitude was like “I’m the strong one, you trash, speak less,” which made Zhou Li have to bow his head and pretend to be a grandson.
However, at this moment, Gu Yu made the black-robed person act like a grandson.
“All the people of the Zhou family have been imprisoned. As for other relatives and the like, there is no news for the time being… The crime of exterminating nine generations of relatives is too great. The Zhou family’s mistakes are not that big, but the direct family members cannot be saved.”
“All dealt with?”
“Not a single one left.”
“Okay, in that case, it can be considered revenge for my father-in-law… However, what about the group of assassins I encountered while I was in the carriage? Have they been investigated? If they are not dealt with, I won’t feel at ease.”
“They have been found, but they are still being verified! The superiors told me to tell you directly not to worry, and all problems will be solved smoothly.”
“Alright, then I won’t worry anymore.”
Gu Yu deliberately showed a smug smile, feeling that his acting skills as a villain were getting better and better.
Since his goal had been achieved, Gu Yu didn’t linger at the Alliance anymore. He just turned and left, making the black-robed person unable to stop him.
Alas! He was still thinking of building a relationship with Gu Yu, but he missed the opportunity again.
Next time, he would definitely have a good chat with Gu Yu.
It would be best if he could establish a connection.
As a favored person in the eyes of his superiors, Gu Yu is a hot commodity!
