Yecheng finished reading the letter and looked at Ye Fei, "Who brought this letter?"
"A kid brought it over. He said an old man asked him to deliver it."
Yecheng walked outside to look for the kid, but the child had already disappeared without a trace.
"Grandpa, how likely do you think the contents of the letter could be true?" If it is man-made, then the 319 case was a premeditated assassination.
"I cannot rule out that possibility," Gu Yecheng turned and headed back, "but I also cannot dismiss the chance that someone wants to throw us off course."
Thinking of that uncle in Chengbei, Gu Yecheng felt he needed to make a trip there.
He had worked at the chemical factory back in the day, so he was somewhat familiar with laboratory matters.
Xiaofeng heard he was going to Chengbei and promised to go with him.
She had been hesitating about whether to cure the uncle’s daughter’s illness, but now it seemed she had to.
Curing the uncle’s daughter might lead him to provide some clues for Yecheng’s case.
Of course, Yecheng wasn’t going to go as the young master Gu, but rather, it was time to use the identity of Dragon King.
Using Gu Yecheng’s identity was too conspicuous; someone would surely guess that the other party might be related to the 319 case. But if he used the identity of Dragon Lord, the other party might not be so clear.
But she had promised Wu Wenli that they would have dinner together that evening.
It just so happened that her big brother was also going to Chengbei, so why not invite her along?
Wu Wenli had arrived yesterday, and since she was following her master, she didn’t have time to meet up with Xiaofeng. Today, her master had given her a day off, so she could wander around freely.
Su Peng received a call from Xiaofeng, asking Wu Wenli, "Xiaofeng wants me to take a trip to Chengbei and also asked if you’re free? If you are, we can go together. Otherwise, she said I should accompany you for the entire day." Su Peng’s last sentence was spoken in a whisper.
"Sounds good. I was actually looking forward to visiting your branch factory. Tell Xiaofeng to come here and pick us up." The master had given her the day, so she was free.
Su Peng called Xiaofeng back and asked her to come pick them up.
Yecheng had already left, and when Xiaofeng picked up Wu Wenli and the other person, the two were chatting and laughing together, appearing to get along harmoniously.
Having spent time in the big city, Wu Wenli was now obviously dressed more fashionably than before, with fitting, attractive, and exquisite clothes.
Her lips were lightly made up, touched with a faint lipstick.
"You’ve become much prettier since I last saw you," Xiaofeng summarized.
"Haicheng is a place that values sophistication in dress. If I don’t keep up, people will look down on me," Wu Wenli explained.
"Getting prettier is a good thing," Xiaofeng smiled, "Big brother, you’ve seen her, right? You’ve got to step up your game."
Su Peng smiled honestly, "Then proposing now shouldn’t be too late, right?"
In this period, the continual contact had naturally warmed their feelings.
"Proposing without anything? Xiaofeng, look at your brother, no sincerity whatsoever," Wu Wenli teased, hearing Su Peng’s offhand remark.
"Bro, indeed, a bit more sincerity is needed. At least prepare the flowers and a ring."
A figure not far away watched the two get into the car and then drive away, their mind somewhat adrift.
Is that idiot’s girlfriend?
The two of them looked quite well-matched standing together.
Thinking back to her days in Xijiang County, she realized that the time she spent with him was the happiest period of her life.
