As soon as the day broke, Gu Qiaoqiao hurried into Great Grandfather’s room.
At this time, Gu Qingfeng had also gotten up and was pacing back and forth in the living room.
Gu Qiaoqiao knew in her heart that she couldn’t keep this matter from Gu Qingfeng because she still needed his help.
Moreover, it was essential for the Old Patriarch to know about these matters.
Only then could they discuss what to do next.
Thus, Gu Qiaoqiao pulled the Old Patriarch into the study and recounted to him what Dongfang Yu had abruptly said when he broke into her room the previous night.
The Old Patriarch’s shocked and horrified breathing seemed to stop.
He hadn’t expected Dongfang Yu to be powerful enough to move in and out of Gu Garden unnoticed.
What kind of person was this, and how could he possess such abilities?
Could he truly be the Successor of the Yankong Sect?
Anger also surged in his heart.
One by one, they seemed to view the Gu Family as a piece of succulent meat.
Not devouring it in one bite seemed unacceptable to them.
Had he known earlier, he should have prepared sooner.
At that moment, Gu Qingfeng truly regretted it.
Having spent so much time with wolves, yet he had not taken any precautions.
Even though they were now trying to mend the fold after the sheep were lost, it was already too late.
Many things were too late to be done.
However, these could only be set aside for now.
The pressing matter was still about what Dongfang Yu had brought up.
What exactly should Gu Qiaoqiao do, leave the Qin Family, or find another solution?
The Old Patriarch slowly lifted his head to look at Gu Qiaoqiao and asked softly, "Qiaoqiao, are you willing to leave Qin Yize?"
Gu Qiaoqiao felt a pang in her heart and after a long pause, she replied in a hoarse voice, "Great Grandfather, I am willing."
At this moment, it wasn’t a matter of willingness anymore.
It was about whether the Qin Family could make a clean getaway.
Gu Qingfeng sighed and said, "Qiaoqiao, have you considered whether Qin Yize would agree?"
By this time, Gu Qingfeng had already realized how much Qin Yize valued Gu Qiaoqiao.
He also knew that once Qin Yize returned, the two of them were almost inseparable.
Moreover, their relationship may be unknown to themselves, but to outsiders, it appeared to be extremely good.
So good that no third party could wedge themselves between them.
With such a relationship, would Qin Yize let go?
Would he agree to a divorce?
If he didn’t agree to the divorce, then all their plans would not be realized.
Although Gu Qingfeng also hoped for that, right now, he truly had no way to counter Dongfang Yu.
He and Zhang Miao had contacted many people from the Mystic Sect, but unfortunately, due to decades of societal progress, these individuals from the Mystic Sect...
were either dead or incapacitated.
None could truly stand against Dongfang Yu.
They didn’t even know Dongfang Yu’s background.
And in this incident, the most suspicious person, Lin Fanpeng, had mysteriously disappeared.
East Mountain had long been deserted, and the watchtowers had been burned clean by a fire.
So at this moment, Gu Qingfeng felt, for the first time, completely helpless.
This feeling made him very angry.
It was the kind of anger where he felt like committing murder.
But for now, he was also helpless.
However, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression faltered momentarily after hearing Gu Qingfeng’s words.
Yes, everything had been considered, but had they considered whether Qin Yize would let go?
And he was a person who, once committed to something, would not easily give up.
