Mr. Gu's wife is a little naughty

"Master, our people are back." In the study, in the atmosphere of ancient wood and agarwood, Lao Mo's figure walked slowly, followed closely by several ragged and haggard people.

"You...what's going on?" Tian Zhenyuan looked up at the people in front of him in confusion. He knew a few of them personally, as he had sent them to protect Tian Tian. They had been missing for a long time, and he had long assumed they had been secretly eliminated. Unexpectedly, they all returned safe and sound.

At this time, a man who seemed to be the leader of the team, his face full of grievance and self-blame, bent his knees and knelt heavily on the ground, his voice choked with sobs, "Master, it's all because of our poor performance that we were plotted against. Please punish us, Master."

Tian Zhenyuan's doubts grew even more intense. He glanced deeply at Lao Mo, and finally fixed his gaze on the figures kneeling on the ground. His brows unconsciously tightened a little.

"What's going on? Get up and answer."

The man remained kneeling in silence, and the others knelt down as well.

"We... have failed to perform our duties properly and have failed to live up to the master's high expectations. We are willing to accept the punishment." They spoke in unison, their voices filled with fatigue and weakness that were difficult to conceal. Every word seemed to be squeezed out with difficulty from a dry throat, revealing the hardships and difficulties they had encountered along the way.

"All of you get up and talk to me about what's going on." Tian Zhenyuan felt a little bit sorry when he saw this. He slowly walked to the leader and stretched out his hand to help him stand up.

"Tell me what happened? How did you end up like this?"

Upon hearing this, the leader looked more embarrassed, his eyelids drooped, he glanced at the old Mexican quickly, and then lowered his head in silence.

Tian Zhenyuan saw his expression clearly, so he turned his gaze to Lao Mo and asked in confusion, "What are they doing?"

Hearing this, Lao Mo sighed heavily and gritted his teeth, saying, "These useless things were ambushed and thrown into the mountains. It took them several days and nights to get back to the city."

"Ah?" Tian Zhenyuan gave a wry smile, his brows interwoven with helplessness and confusion. "How could this happen?"

“That day, the young lady led a young man out of the club. We wanted to follow them, but we were knocked unconscious by a group of strangers and thrown into the mountains. It took us a lot of effort to get out.” The leader lowered his voice, with a hint of fear and unwillingness in his words.

"Do you know who the other party is?" Tian Zhenyuan asked, his tone full of anxiety.

Lao Mo sighed and shook his head slowly, "These useless things don't know the specific origins of those people."

Upon hearing this, Tian Zhenyuan narrowed his eyes and fell into deep thought.

"Could the person who knocked you out and took you away silently be the one from the Long family?" Lao Mo asked the leader.

"No!" the leader said firmly, his expression firm, "It's not them!"

"How can you be so sure?" Tian Zhenyuan looked at him suspiciously.

"Because, among those thrown into the mountains with us were members of the Long family, and their fate was the same as ours."

"This is strange, who could have done this?" Tian Zhenyuan frowned and looked at Lao Mo, and Lao Mo's face showed the same expression as his.

"Is there someone else around the young lady?" Mo's voice was low and carried a hint of subtle worry. "Could it be related to that young man?"

Tian Zhenyuan frowned slightly when he heard this, and a thoughtful glint flashed in his eyes. "Have you investigated the identity of that person?"

Hearing this, Lao Mo's expression became more determined and he nodded. "He's just an ordinary person. The people I sent went to his hometown. He's an orphan, raised in various families. After he became an adult, he came to Fanjiang and stayed here after graduating from college. He doesn't have any background to speak of."

Tian Zhenyuan was silent for a moment, then slowly said, "Lao Mo, are you sure? Is there really such a coincidence in this world?"

"What do you mean?" Lao Mo frowned when he heard this.

"We have to investigate further. I always feel that the timing of this person's appearance is a little wrong." Tian Zhenyuan said in a low voice.

When Lao Mo heard this, his expression froze, then he nodded and led those people out slowly.

Lin Tao's eyes slowly moved upwards, and he exchanged a meaningful look with Liu Liu, who was standing beside him, and asked softly, "You mean, those guys... are back?"

"Yes, but we didn't arrest the same group of people that day." Liu Liu said in a deliberately low voice.

Lin Tao's eyes unconsciously slid towards Tian Tian, ​​who was reclining on the sofa, looking at her phone leisurely. He also lowered his voice, "What do you mean?"

"I sent people to keep an eye on them. They are two groups. One group returned to the Tian family, and the other group secretly went to Beichen." Liu Liu also paid attention to the movements on Tian Tian's side. Seeing that she didn't seem to notice the situation on their side, he felt a little relieved.

"So our people beat up the people my father-in-law sent to my wife?" Lin Tao's words were mixed with helplessness and a wry smile, and his eyes fell on Tian Tian gently but with a bit of ridicule.

Liu Liu's mouth twitched slightly when he heard this, and he tried hard to suppress his smile, "I'm afraid that's the case."

Hearing this, Lin Tao fell into deep thought for a moment, and finally sighed, "It's best not to let my father-in-law know about this. Otherwise, I won't know how to explain it to him when we meet in the future."

Before he finished speaking, Liu Liu finally couldn't hold back any longer and burst out laughing.

"Hold it back!" Seeing this, Lin Tao pretended to be displeased, shook his finger lightly, pointed at Liu Liu, and said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

Upon hearing this, Liu Liu quickly restrained his smile, pursed his lips, and his eyes flashed with a light of effortful restraint, for fear that he would accidentally reveal his smile again.

Lin Tao ignored him and put his hands on his chin, lost in thought. "Didn't they say that Tian Zhenyuan really disliked his daughter? Why did he secretly send people to protect her?" Lin Tao thought secretly. "Who sent the other group?"

Liu Liu seemed to see the doubts in his heart and said directly, "Don't guess, I have already investigated clearly. It was sent by that useless young master of the Long family."

"Is it him? That good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid who has always coveted my wife?" Lin Tao's eyes turned cold when he heard that.

Liu Liu nodded heavily.

"Hmph!" Lin Tao suddenly punched the table with such force that not only Liu Liu trembled violently, but even Tian Tian, ​​who was half-leaning and half-lying on the side, immersed in her own world, was startled. She sat up straight in an instant, and her eyes involuntarily, but cautiously, glanced over here.

"Oh no!" Lin Tao cursed inwardly, quickly adjusting his composure. He raised his eyes, his gaze like a torch, pointed directly at Tian Tian. His tone was undeniably harsh, yet also mixed with a subtle sense of helplessness. "You—focus on your phone, don't look at us."

Tian Tian was frightened by this sudden call-out. She originally thought that he was going to cause trouble for her again, but she didn't expect that the hateful President Gu would let her continue to look at her phone.

"Hmm..." Tian Tian replied softly, her eyes flickering involuntarily, glancing quickly at her phone screen. Then, as if drawn by an invisible thread, she stole a furtive glance in the direction of the two people. Noticing their gazes, her cheeks flushed slightly, and she hastily averted her gaze, obediently lowering her head to look at her phone, never daring to look up at them again.

"Please help me make an appointment with that good-for-nothing second-generation rich kid. Tell him that I have a money-making project and ask if he's interested in meeting me." Lin Tao carefully stared at Tian Tian while carefully instructing Liu Liu.

Liu Liu's eyes flashed with understanding when he heard this, and he nodded quickly and firmly, "Okay, I'll arrange it right away. Make sure everything is in place."

"There is one more thing. The Cobra people are coming." Before leaving, Liu Liu remembered this and quickly reported it.

Lin Tao nodded to indicate that he understood, but Liu Liu hesitated to speak. Seeing the expression on his face, Lin Tao asked, "Is there anything else?"

"Well, that~" Liu Liu hesitated to speak.

"Stop talking about this and that. Just be direct if you have something to say." Lin Tao said impatiently.

"The one leading the team this time is Xiao Ran." Liu Liu hesitated for a moment, finally mustered up the courage and said slowly.

"What?!" Lin Tao's voice suddenly rose, like thunder from the blue sky. Along with this cry, his body suddenly bounced up from the chair.

Tian Tian was so shocked by this sudden change that her face turned pale. Her delicate body trembled slightly, and she quickly jumped up from the edge of the soft sofa. Her big, clear eyes were filled with confusion and astonishment. She stared blankly at Lin Tao and the others.

At this time, Lin Tao didn't care about Tian Tian's innocent look. He took a few steps to Liu Liu, and his hands involuntarily grasped the other's collar, with confusion and questioning in his eyes, "Didn't I ask Baozi to come? Why is that person here~" Having said that, he subconsciously glanced at Tian Tian standing beside him, and his voice stopped abruptly.

"I don't know either. Sister Hong just called and told me." Liu Liu looked at Lin Tao innocently and said aggrievedly.

"Are you going to let me live?" Lin Tao helplessly sat down on the chair again, with a helpless look on his face.

"What are these two people doing? They're so mysterious!" Tian Tian squinted her eyes and glanced at Lin Tao secretly and said secretly.
