Especially since Dongfang Yu was right near her.
However, some matters just become more complicated the more she thought about them.
Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head; her mind was a bit chaotic at this moment.
After leaving the living room, she put on her cotton coat and walked outside.
The courtyard of Gu Garden remained the same as always.
It was just that Gu Qiaoqiao could still sense that the security must have been much tighter than usual.
But Gu Qiaoqiao also knew that such precautions were utterly useless against Dongfang Yu.
Moreover, the most important point was that Dongfang Yu didn’t seem to harbor any intent to harm the Gu Family at the moment.
But what about the future?
Therefore, Gu Qiaoqiao felt that the Gu Family was currently walking on the edge of a knife.
So, what exactly were Dongfang Yu and the people behind Ning Wanru coveting from the Gu Family?
The Mysterious Dragon Box, the Treasure Room.
Fortunes vast enough to rival countries...
Or was it her own pair of hands?
This was all unknown at the current time.
However, the phone service had been restored now.
But no information had come back yet from those who went out to investigate.
Clearly, there were no results.
Also, how could there possibly be an investigation into what the Ancient Culture Research Center was all about in just one day’s time?
Nowadays, everyone is rushing to start companies, with all kinds of companies springing up like mushrooms after rain.
There are various types and categories, everything one could think of.
And another important point is whether Dongfang Yu’s Ancient Culture Research Center is real or fake?
Or perhaps it was just a false name to deceive her at the time.
Gu Qiaoqiao, lost in her thoughts, continued walking towards the exterior of Gu Garden.
The winter sky was somewhat overcast.
A biting wind blew from the entrance of the alley.
Gu Qiaoqiao adjusted her scarf, covering her mouth.
Because the north wind today was really too strong.
Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression sharpened, and she looked toward the alley entrance.
At a glance, Gu Qiaoqiao saw a white cat perched atop a short wall at the mouth of the alley.
Without a second thought, Gu Qiaoqiao ran towards the White Cat.
It seemed as if the White Cat had been waiting for her arrival.
Standing still on the low wall, the cat’s purple eyes reflected a somewhat eerie gleam under the winter sky.
Gu Qiaoqiao quickly ran up to the White Cat.
Seeing Gu Qiaoqiao approaching, the White Cat meowed a couple of times and then pounced towards her.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t evade.
She didn’t know what the White Cat was here to do.
But her hands reacted faster than her brain could process.
In a split second, she grabbed the White Cat that was lunging at her.
Then with a single-handed twist, she grabbed the nape of the White Cat’s neck, causing it to spin in the air.
In such a position, it was difficult for the White Cat to struggle free.
A cold smile appeared on Gu Qiaoqiao’s lips.
She extended her hand forward, making it impossible for the White Cat to pounce even if it wanted to.
At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao’s entire strength was focused on the White Cat’s nape.
However, at this time, the White Cat settled down, seemingly enjoying the pressure from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingertips, and started purring as if it were on a train.
It seems that this crafty White Cat also fancied her hand.
Gu Qiaoqiao walked a few steps forward and reached the crossroads of the alley.
She looked around but didn’t see Dongfang Yu anywhere.
Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes darkened as she spoke, "Where is your owner?"
The White Cat meowed several times.
Of course, it didn’t answer Gu Qiaoqiao’s question.
