Gu Yue’s first reaction was that this person was sent by Wen Qing or Qin Zhaoyue.

In order to place someone beside him, he entered this pawnshop. The manager had discussed it with him in advance, saying that there was no one available.

But what does Li Taohua want?

He couldn't have been the prince's man from the beginning, right?

Wait a minute, if Li Taohua is the prince's person, everything makes sense. At least in the original work, it was very logical for Gu Xu to be rescued by the prince in time.

Why did the prince rescue Gu Xu? Why did Li Taohua tip off? Why did they put on a show?

Qin Zhaoyue even knew Gu Dashi.

he……

A terrible guess came to mind.

Gu Yue couldn't help but glance at Gu Xu.

Gu Xu seemed to sense something, and looked up at Gu Yue with a puzzled look.

Gu Yue...took Gu Xu's hand.

"What are you doing?" Li Taohua looked at their interaction and felt it was very annoying: "Do you need help?"

“…No need.” Gu Yue smiled stiffly. He felt that everything was dangerous. “I need to go back and look at the plan first, and then decide on recruiting people.”

"Thank you, Master Taohua, I'll come look for you later." Gu Yue smiled, pulled Gu Xu around Li Taohua, and strode out the door.

Li Taohua stood there in confusion.

"Master Li, are you here to renew the contract for Nanfeng Tower?" The manager was also puzzled, but business had to be done.

"Well, renew it for another two years." Li Taohua took out the deed and purse from her arms.

……

Gu Yue’s mind was in a mess.

At this moment, he felt that there were eyes everywhere around him, and everywhere belonged to Qin Zhaoyue or Wen Qing. Under these gazes, everything about him was exposed, and even Gu Xu beside him seemed to be about to lose control.

Gu Xu felt a little pain in his hand. Gu Yue held it too tightly.

But he did not warn him, but quickened his pace to catch up with Gu Yue. He saw that Gu Yue's face looked terrible, and they ran all the way to the river outside Liuli Town, a place where there was no one around, and then they stopped.

"What's wrong?" Gu Xu's breathing was still steady. He approached Gu Yue, who was gasping for breath, and put his hand on his back.

Gu Dashi had become a different person since that night. He had never shown such an expression before, panic and urgency, as if he had lost all his calmness, and even his excuse for rejecting Li Taohua was so poor.

"Gu Xu. You..." Gu Yue rarely called Gu Xu by his name.

He stopped talking halfway and turned to look at Shi San who was standing on the side.

This person, this person is also a coincidence.

It just happened to appear in the dental shop in Yu Ning Prefecture, and it just happened to be bought by him.

It was such a coincidence to meet the prince.

Wouldn't Qin Zhaoyue show up even if he didn't call her out loud?

Has Qin Zhaoyue always been following closely behind?

"Shi San." Gu Yue grabbed Shi San's collar, "What's your name?"

Shi San was confused, but still answered, "Shi San."

"Where are you from? How did you get to Yu Ning Mansion? Why are you following me?" Gu Yue stared at Shi San's eyes.

Shi San thought for a moment, organized his words, and answered briefly but haltingly: "Xihu...Exchange. Exchange prisoners of war."

Then came the third question. Shi San's eyes were filled with confusion: "You buy me. I will follow you."

Gu Yue couldn't see anything.

"Are you a spy sent by someone? Why do you talk like that?" Gu Yue found everything suspicious at this moment.

Shi San felt very aggrieved.

But he had a hard time speaking fluent sentences, and could only explain poorly: "No. Always... talking, like this."

Gu Xu grabbed Gu Yue's arm.

Gu Yue sobered up a little, why would he ask like that?

Buying Shi San was a completely spur-of-the-moment decision. Unless he had come this far, and everything including Chenghou Mansion and Boss Sun’s Jiaoyuan in Yuning Mansion were arranged by Qin Zhaoyue, then there would be a possibility of inferring his next move from the environment.

If Qin Zhaoyue had such a big hand, there would be no need for him to target a small person like him.

Shi San is really innocent.

"Sorry." Gu Yue said.

Shi San certainly had no objection. He looked at Gu Yue, thought carefully for a while, and said, "Li Taohua?"

Gu Yue was surprised for a moment. Shi San might be a very smart person.

But there were many things he couldn't say.

Gu Yue held Gu Xu's hand again, as if only by holding it like this could he give him some sense of reality.

"What did you think of?" Gu Xu asked.

"Why don't you want to contact the prince?" Gu Yue suddenly asked.

Gu Xu fell silent.

Hasn't this question been asked before? But Gu Xu doesn't mind answering it again, even if both answers are not true.

"No reason." Gu Xu looked into his eyes, "I just think he is not a good person."

Gu Yue thought, maybe his guess was right.

but why?

He still needs evidence.

Gu Yue closed his eyes and replayed Gu Dashi's memories in his mind.

"Go to the Golden Tooth Casino." Gu Yue said.

……

Gu Yue brought Gu Xu and Shi San to the entrance of the casino.

As soon as they reached the door, they ran into the yellow rat.

Huang Lao Shu, the gangster who broke into his house and turned it upside down. The owner of the Golden Tooth Casino was his relative, and he led Gu Dashi to learn bad things and often cheated Gu Dashi out of his money.

When Huang Shu saw Gu Yue, he didn't recognize him at first glance.

When Gu Yue gave him a half-hearted smile, Huang Shu shuddered violently and was about to get into the house. Before he took a step, his neck was grabbed and Shi San forced him to come in front of Gu Yue.

"Brother Dashi..." The yellow rat smiled apologetically.

Gu Yue was puzzled. What was this person afraid of? Judging from the situation at that time, wasn't it usually the yellow rat that pressed Gu Dashi?

"Let me ask you." Gu Yue didn't want to ponder such a useless question. He smiled and took out the knife that Shi San had provided and pointed it at Huang Lao Shu: "Is Feng Erlu here?"

“Yes, yes, yes…” The Yellow Rat was about to cry, and answered while trembling.

"Besides me, who else is he close to?" Gu Yue asked.

"Hehehe, Lao Huang and Lao Du..." Yellow Rat said stutteringly.

"Are all here?" Gu Yue smiled.

“Yes, yes, yes.” said the Yellow Rat.

"Show me who it is." Gu Yue said.

Several people stood by the casino counter, looking into the venue through the screen. Huang Shu pointed at Feng Erlu and Huang Du, and Gu Yue looked over and saw that they were indeed familiar faces.

Shi San nodded, indicating that he remembered it.

"Let's start with Feng Erlu." Gu Yue said with a smile, patting Huang Laoshu's shoulder, "Go and call him out, and tell him that there is a nobleman waiting for him in the backyard."

How could Huang Lao Shu say no? Shi San's hand was incredibly strong, and his neck was in terrible pain.

After letting the yellow rat in and calling for help, Gu Yue and the other two walked to the backyard of the casino.

There is also a gambling table in the backyard, but there are few people here during the day, with only two or three tables rolling the dice.
