After I was murdered, my scumbag uncle went completely crazy

Gu Hanting was amused by my anxious look.

He stretched out his hand and pinched my face, "My property cannot be taken away so easily."

When I thought about it, I thought so too.

These wealthy people value their assets more than their lives, and they must have set up numerous protective procedures.

Moreover, suddenly transferring property to unimportant people will definitely arouse suspicion from others.

Sure enough, when it comes to playing tricks, no one can outsmart a businessman.

Gu Hanting took me into the room.

The door opened and although it was cleaned regularly, there was still a musty smell.

This place is close to the mountains and is quite humid, and the furniture feels damp to the touch.

When I saw that bed, I didn't want to lie on it at all.

"It's totally uninhabitable here," I looked around, unable to control my disgust, "Forget it, I'll sit here for a while and go back to sleep later."

Gu Hanting found a piece of cloth and wiped all the chairs in the room, "Come and sit down, be patient."

I went over and sat down, pulling Gu Hanting to sit next to me, with my fingers gripping his sleeves.

He took a look, the corners of his mouth curled up, and he smiled like a cat stealing fish.

I ignored his sly smile and said, "Tell me quickly, what are you planning to do?"

"I want to find out where the Chi family's funds come from." This time, Gu Hanting did not hide it.

I suddenly thought of the Su family's mysterious capital injection and asked him.

"Did you know that the Su family has been receiving a large amount of unknown funds?"

I vaguely remember mentioning it to him last time, and he said he would investigate the biological company.

But I never heard from him again.

When he mentioned the source of the Chi family's funds, I immediately thought of this matter.

Could it be possible that there is some connection between the two?

Sure enough, Gu Hanting’s next words cleared up my confusion.

"I found out that the Chi family has invested in the biological company you asked me to investigate."

The Chi family?!

I was shocked. "Why would the Chi family get involved in a money-burning project like biotechnology?"

Not to mention Mr. Chi's stingy nature, it is impossible for him to spend money on a project where the initial investment may not necessarily pay off.

Even with the Chi family's financial strength, they are not allowed to do this.

"Not sure, that's why I want to investigate."

Even Gu Hanting failed to investigate it. It seems that this matter is an absolute secret of the Chi family.

but……

"What does that have to do with the Chi family's old house?"

Gu Hanting looked around the old house. "Every time the Chi family has an extra mysterious sum of money, it's related to the old house."

I instantly felt a chill on my back.

Could it really be related to ghosts?!

As if sensing my fear, Gu Hanting grabbed my hand and held it in his palm.

"Don't be afraid, ghosts are all nonsense. I was just joking with you."

"I suspect that the Chi family's old house hides the secret of the Chi family's connection with the mysterious source of funds."

"Every time the Chi family has something to do, they will come to the old house and come back with an extra sum of funds."

"I think they must have communicated with the other party in some way and got the money."

After he finished speaking, he looked at me and said, "Xixi, you have come back to worship your ancestors so many times before. Have you found anything special in your memory?"

Uh……

This really got me asked.

I have no memory of Ji Xi at all, how can I find out anything suspicious?

I shook my head honestly, "Every time I come back, it's like now. After the ceremony in the ancestral hall, I will go to my room to rest."

"I'll play with my phone for a while, or take a nap, and wait for my parents to call me to leave when the time is up."

I said this, and I'm not afraid of Gu Hanting going to verify it.

Since ancestor worship is the secret of communication between the Chi family and the mysterious funds, it is impossible for Chi's father to let too many people know.

Even though Chi Xi was the daughter of the Chi family before, I think he would not let Chi Xi participate before he officially took over the Chi family.

After all, once more people know about it, it is difficult for a secret to remain a secret.

Sure enough, after listening to what I said, Gu Hanting did not ask any further questions.

I muttered quietly, "But if you want to find out the secret of the Chi family, why are you wasting your time here with me?"

"Shouldn't we take this opportunity to walk around and see if we can find any clues?"

Gu Hanting didn't say anything, playing with my fingers, "Aren't you scared? It's more important to accompany you."

Although this statement sounds a bit playful and self-destructive, but... I unexpectedly like his playful and self-destructive attitude.

"Don't be afraid, I will protect you."

Gu Hanting pinched my fingertips. His movements were somewhat ambiguous, but not too inappropriate. He just pinched my fingertips without any further action.

As he pinched me, I began to feel sleepy.

When my eyelids were drooping, Gu Hanting reached out and put my head on his shoulder.

"If you're tired, take a nap. I'll be here."

Since he said that, I closed my eyes with peace of mind.

Anyway, the secrets of the Chi family are not something I can easily dig out.

I won’t worry about it.

I slept exceptionally well this time.

After becoming Chi Xi, I was worried almost every time I went to sleep.

I was afraid that once I opened my eyes, I would turn into a ghost again.

She was afraid that one day if she wasn't careful, her identity as Qiao Xi would be exposed.

I rarely sleep so soundly. I didn’t even know when I left the Chi family’s old house.

When I woke up, it was daylight outside.

I lay on the large, soft bed. There was a faint minty scent in the air, a scent that belonged only to Gu Hanting.

But the man was not there. The bed was clean and soft, and the cold decoration of the room made me realize that this was his bedroom in Gu Mansion.

I sat up suddenly, got out of bed and ran out to find someone.

Gu Hanting was sitting on the sofa in the living room downstairs. The sunlight shone in through the huge floor-to-ceiling window and fell on him.

His handsome features were bathed in the sunlight, glowing faintly, making it impossible to look away.

"I searched the Chi family's old house yesterday, but didn't find any useful clues."

The driver who drove us there yesterday stood in front of him and reported in a low voice.

It turned out that when he was accompanying me yesterday, the driver went out to look for clues.

I said to him, he said he was looking for clues, but why was he so calm and just standing there doing nothing?

Gu Hanting asked, "What did the Chi family do later?"

The driver replied, "After you and Madam went to rest, Mother Chi and the second young lady of the Chi family also left the ancestral hall, leaving Father Chi alone inside."

"However, I sneaked in to see what he was doing in there, but I couldn't find him."

"Just when I thought he had left, he suddenly appeared in front of the altar again."

What do you mean?

flash?

I stood on the stairs, not in a hurry to go down, wanting to listen more.

Gu Hanting frowned and asked, "Is there a secret room in the ancestral hall?"

"Perhaps, but I didn't find the mechanism to enter the secret room."
