The bodyguard made a round of checks, then hurriedly ran back and said to Gu Qingfeng, "Old Patriarch, the power lines in this area have been cut off. We can’t make phone calls, and there are traces of three vehicles at the entrance. Two are small cars, and one is a minibus. Should we call the police?"
Gu Qingfeng thought for a moment, then shook his head, "No, we won’t report it."
It was impossible to report it to the police; these people were brazen, obviously having calculated this point.
After all, Gu Qingfeng’s abduction of Ning Wanru was illegal.
Now that she had been taken away, he could only suffer in silence, as if a mute eating coptis, with a bitterness that he couldn’t voice.
Moreover, given these people’s abilities, they were surely far away by now.
How could they possibly let themselves be caught?
However, he had not expected that the Gu Family’s enemies would be so powerful.
They had managed to cut off this courtyard from the outside world.
And he had also seen Gu Qiaoqiao, who only injured one person before being subdued by the man.
He had always thought Qiaoqiao was very capable.
However, he hadn’t expected there to be such a character.
He had combed through his memories and couldn’t think of anyone who fit the description.
In his time, there had been no peerless individual who could shock the heavens and move ghosts to tears.
And yet he had encountered such a person tonight.
It was truly infuriating.
But, for now, this vengeance would have to be noted for later.
Gu Qingfeng then said to the father and daughter, "We were careless with what happened today. Let’s leave things as they are for now and keep it quiet. I will visit Elder Zhang tomorrow. Perhaps he will know the true origin of this man."
By now, Gu Qiaoqiao knew he was called Dongfang Yu.
She also knew he had a White Cat.
And that he worked at the Ancient Culture Research Center.
She also knew this man had appeared in Xinjiang, but beyond that, she knew nothing else.
These were only Dongfang Yu’s superficial identities.
His true identity was likely that of a Mystic Sect member.
And this man’s aura was different even from Elder Zhang and the others.
This made Gu Qingfeng’s heart skip a beat.
Gu Qiaoqiao frowned and said, "Great Grandfather, this person clearly knows some of the Gu Family’s secrets."
"Yes, I know," Gu Qingfeng continued, "Don’t worry, Great Grandfather will definitely keep you both safe."
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head, "Great Grandfather, he has no lethal intent towards us, so our lives are not in danger for the time being. However, I don’t know what his purpose is?"
At this point, Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t reveal what the man had said to her earlier.
Because she knew that once she spoke up, Great Grandfather and the others would definitely be worried.
And she had not expected that this man wanted her to go with him.
To cultivate some Cultivation Technique and achieve immortality was madness.
What a joke, how could she possibly go with him?
Once she found him, she would definitely use every means possible to avenge today’s events.
But the urgent task at hand, Gu Qiaoqiao felt, was that there were many things she needed to do.
She had the ability, but not a clear direction.
Nor did she have any Cultivation Techniques to learn.
She had nothing at all, like a headless fly careening through the world.
Running on nothing but her finger’s instincts.
Yet Gu Qiaoqiao realized that just these were not enough.
As night deepened, darkness enveloped the outside.
After helping Great Grandfather to rest and securely closing his bedroom door, she said to the several bodyguards, "Go and make another thorough check."
The bodyguards promptly went out.
Gu Tianfeng looked at his daughter with guilt and said, "Qiaoqiao, your father is powerless, I failed to protect you."
