Because the curse had been cast so long ago, and the person who cast it indeed possessed some skill, Gu Zhiqi was temporarily unable to find the person responsible through divination or fortune-telling.
Therefore, the only option was to filter through the relationships between the people involved.
Listening to Gu Zhiqi’s questions, Gu Huaijin’s expression looked rather unpleasant as he shook his head, "No clue, it’s been too long, and there were absolutely no signs."
Gu Zhiqi heard this but didn’t pay much attention, simply saying to Gu Huaijin, "Maybe check that Han Feifei."
Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin’s face suddenly changed, "You mean Han Feifei, she..."
He didn’t finish his sentence mainly because it was a bit hard to believe.
When he first began investigating the people around him, he had excluded Han Feifei in the first wave of his inquiries.
He personally didn’t quite like Han Feifei, and besides, he could see that her attitude towards him wasn’t exactly right.
But because of her close relationship with Luo Fenghe, Gu Huaijin never suspected her, even once chastising himself for contemplating that Han Feifei could be such an indecent person.
Because of this thought, Gu Huaijin had once deceived himself, thinking perhaps Han Feifei was only familiar with him because she was friends with Luo Fenghe, and over time, he came to really believe that.
"Just now, I discovered that a red thread was forcefully tied between you and Han Feifei," Gu Zhiqi spoke up, breaking Gu Huaijin’s turbulent line of thought,
At Gu Zhiqi’s words, Gu Huaijin’s complexion changed once more, looking even worse than before.
Gu Huaijin said nothing, and Gu Zhiqi didn’t mind, simply continuing, "I can’t tell yet if the red thread was tied through a substitute object or was directly attached to you. Think carefully if you encountered any strange people or things today."
After all, there was no such red thread on his hand when he left home this morning.
At these words, Gu Huaijin frowned in thought for a long while before shaking his head, "I’ve seen too many people, mostly business partners, nothing strangely."
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiqi fell silent.
After thinking carefully again and coming up with nothing, Gu Huaijin looked at Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Could it be that Han Feifei tied it?"
"Not just anyone can tie it; one has to be a Mystic Master," Gu Zhiqi said while pulling out his phone from his pocket and sending a message to Chubby Chiu,
[Zhizhi: Check the surveillance. See if there were any Mystic Masters among the people who had contact with Gu Huaijin tonight. ]
[Primary Jiu: Got it. ]
[Zhizhi: How are you feeling, still dizzy? ]
Remembering Chubby Chiu’s condition before, Gu Zhiqi still asked this question.
[Primary Jiu: All good, snuggling with the beauty is bliss, no more backache, no leg pain, and no more dizziness! The beauty is wicked cool! ]
[Primary Jiu: Okay~ ]
After replying to the message, Chubby Chiu went to check the surveillance, and Gu Zhiqi, in the meantime, mobilized his Yuan Force, wrapped it around his hand, and then grasped the faint red thread on Gu Huaijin’s hand, snapping it.
Once the pale red thread snapped, there appeared on Gu Huaijin’s hand a much darker red thread.
This one must be his red thread with Luo Fenghe.
After breaking the red thread, Gu Zhiqi looked at Gu Huaijin and suddenly called out to him, "Big brother."
Though the address as "big brother" sounded pleasing, he knew that this girl was about to fleece him for money again.
And sure enough, when Gu Huaijin looked at her, Gu Zhiqi smiled lazily at him and said, "Time to make the payment."
Gu Zhiqi: "I’ll give you a family and friends discount, 9.9% off. That will be 4.95 million after discount."
