Chapter 425: Chapter 425 Perhaps it’s because you’re the easiest to deceive Chapter 425: Chapter 425 Perhaps it’s because you’re the easiest to deceive Now she couldn’t even remember what Ning Wanru was like to him back then.
Therefore, she couldn’t be sure whether it was for him as a person.
But Gu Qingfeng felt that, even if it was for the person, it was equally for the wealth behind him.
Ning Wanru, who was always particular about food and clothing, how could she not be after wealth, but only after a person?
That person was clearly coveting the Gu family’s assets, but back then in the Imperial Capital, there were many who were better than him, even those who were almost the same.
He clenched his teeth, “It’s been too long, it’s too hard to investigate.”
“Then do you think, is it possible that person is still alive?”
“Still alive?” Gu Qingfeng’s body stiffened, he had not considered this question before.
“Yes, maybe still alive.” Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, “Great Grandfather, you should dispatch some of your men to take turns watching Ning Wanru. I think, given enough time, there will definitely be results, though not anytime soon…”
“Okay, let’s do as Qiaoqiao says.” Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Qiaoqiao lovingly, speaking earnestly.
“Maybe she is after the Mysterious Dragon Box, or perhaps Yubao Square and the Jade Mine, these things could all be what she covets, so she won’t rest until she gets them…” Gu Qiaoqiao murmured softly.
“Qiaoqiao, tell me why is it the Gu family? There are many out there richer than me,” Gu Qingfeng seemed puzzled.
Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t hold back and blurted out, “Maybe it’s because you’re the easiest to deceive…”
Gu Qingfeng’s eyes bulged with anger, “Qiaoqiao, you’re just trying to provoke me.”
“I’m really not, just think about it. When con artists scam people, don’t they always pick the easiest targets? Those not so easily fooled might end up conning the scammer instead.”
Gu Qingfeng pounded his cane down to calm his emotions, saying helplessly, “Alright, we will do as you say, you shouldn’t go out to play tomorrow, rest up, and the day after I will take you to work at Yubao Square.”
Speaking of this, Gu Qiaoqiao remembered something, “Great Grandfather, is Gu Jiansheng still at Yubao Square?”
“No, he hasn’t been there for many days.” Gu Qingfeng glanced at Gu Qiaoqiao, “Qiaoqiao, do you regret coming back to the Gu family?”
Gu Qiaoqiao raised her eyes, looking earnestly at Gu Qingfeng, shaking her head, “No regrets.”
Gu Qingfeng exhaled a breath of relief.
How could Gu Qiaoqiao regret it?
In her previous life, even without returning to the Gu family, hadn’t she still been harmed to the point of losing her family and fortune?
So, she had no regrets.
It’s just that she was a bit concerned about the safety of her family at home.
Gu Qingfeng seemed to know what was on Gu Qiaoqiao’s mind, “There are bodyguards arranged for the several Uncle Gus, including you, but when you go out with Qin Yize, the bodyguards don’t follow. Ah, who would have known…”
Gu Qiaoqiao felt somewhat relieved, “I’m fine, just focus on my parents.”
“There’s an old saying, ‘A thief cannot forever evade capture,’ but there is no way to guard against one forever. We can only have peace when we tear down their lair.”
“But we have to find evidence first, and figure out what they are plotting against our Gu family, otherwise, there will never be peace,” Gu Qiaoqiao said faintly.
Gu Qingfeng looked at Gu Qiaoqiao’s face with compassion, “Qiaoqiao, go get some rest early, you were also frightened today. Your Auntie Gu has made you some Calming Spirit Soup, go drink it, have a good sleep…”
Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, chatted casually with Gu Qingfeng for a few sentences, and then left the study.
