Mr. Gu's little darling is incredibly cool!

"What are you standing there daydreaming about? Hurry up and tidy up this place! I really don't know what you taught Lu Qingyun in the countryside, that she has become such a person."

Fang Nian was looking for a place to vent her anger when the wet nurse appeared just in time.

After scolding her a few times, Fang Nian felt a little better. She pulled her shawl tighter and swayed her hips as she went upstairs.

The nanny didn't talk back. At times like these, saying more would only make things worse. It was better to vent her anger on herself than on the young lady.

Lu Yayun's expression had been rather unpleasant ever since she entered the room.

I wonder if what happened today will affect the financial support those ladies are giving me. Also, how exactly did Lu Qingyun get to know the people from Chengyuan Mansion?

She's not bad-looking, could it be...?

Thinking of this, a smile appeared on Lu Yayun's face, but her eyes were filled with ruthlessness.

-

After saying goodbye to Yuan Yu and the others, Lu Qingyun took a taxi back to the Gu family home.

Country M.

The Ouyang family.

"What did you say? Someone broke into the forbidden room? And they took things away? How were you guarding it?"

The speaker was the current head of the Ouyang family, and his expression was slightly sinister.

The person kneeling on the ground trembled, too frightened to speak clearly.

"That guy's skills are just too amazing. We couldn't even take on one of him, and, and..."

He started to stammer as he spoke.

Ouyang Hong frowned. "And what?"

"That man said that if anyone stopped him, he would come after you. Because you are in seclusion researching potions, we dared not let him disturb you, which is why we are in this situation now."

Not only were the items taken, but several of his men were also injured.

Did he leave any message?

The forbidden room contains Miss Lu's belongings. Although Miss Lu's whereabouts are currently unknown, no one can take her things away.

"some."

He said a girl put this here, and I think her surname was Lu.

After his subordinate finished speaking, Ouyang Hong's face showed a look of shock. He grabbed his subordinate's shoulder, his expression filled with undisguised joy, "Surname Lu? Are you sure? Is her name Lu Qingyun?"

"I think so. I was stunned when I was hit, so I don't remember clearly."

The subordinate scratched his head, seemingly a little embarrassed as he spoke.

"It must be, otherwise no one would dare to come here and throw a box here for no reason. It seems Miss Lu is still alive..."

Ouyang Hong murmured softly, his tone very certain.

This scene happened to fall into Ouyang Mu'er's ears.

Her face was deathly pale, and her body leaned limply against the wall. If it weren't for the wall supporting her, she probably would have collapsed to the ground.

"Big……"

Before the maid could even utter the word "Miss," she was stunned by Ouyang Mu'er's gaze and covered her mouth, too afraid to make a sound.

After listening for a while and seeing that there was no important information, Ouyang Mu'er got up with the help of the maid and went straight back to her room.

inside the house.

Ouyang Mu'er locked the door and, somewhat flustered, rummaged through a box under the wardrobe, where she found a cell phone.

She took out the SIM card that was under the phone, inserted it, and saw that the phone turned on. She then dialed an encrypted number.

The other party answered after more than ten seconds. Their voice was hoarse, as if their throat had been scraped with lint, which was very unpleasant to listen to.

"What's going on? Didn't I tell you not to contact me?"

Ouyang Mu'er gripped her phone tightly, her knuckles turning white. "I'm asking you, are you sure you've done what I asked you to do five years ago?"

five years ago?

So many things happened five years ago, he couldn't possibly remember which one it was.

"what's up?"

“It’s related to Lu Qingjun.”

Ouyang Mu'er reminded her.

The name Lu Qingyun was like a switch, triggering a flood of memories from five years ago. The man's face darkened. "I've taken care of that matter, and cleaned it up nicely. Why are you bringing her up?"

"Cleaned up? You've been sitting in a well for too long, you don't even know what's happening outside right now."

"What happened?"

The man couldn't stand Ouyang Mu'er's sarcastic tone. He frowned and a bad feeling crept into his heart.

"She's not dead."

Boom——

The weather was nice today, with clear skies and many people out enjoying themselves.

However, the name Ouyang Mu'er struck the man like a thunderbolt, leaving him stunned for a long time.

The man remained silent for a long time, only his heavy breathing could be heard.

After a long pause, the man's hoarse voice continued, "Are you sure?"

Ouyang Mu'er's voice was also somewhat broken, "I can't believe it either, but I just heard my second uncle say that Lu Qingyun sent someone back to get her things."

"Check the situation again. We'll stay in touch. Let me know if you hear anything about her. I'll have someone check her information to see if she's really still alive."

The man hung up the phone after making the arrangements.

Ouyang Mu'er still looked distraught. She slumped to the ground, staring blankly at the contents of the box.

The box wasn't big, about the size of a regular shoebox. Inside were two photo albums, a notebook, and an envelope.

Ouyang Mu'er stared at the box, lost in thought.

-

Gu Zhai.

Gu Jinming unexpectedly returned earlier than Lu Qingyun today.

After finishing dinner, Lu Qingyun returned to her study and found Gu Jinming sitting at his desk, wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking intently at the medical book in his hands.

Hearing a slight noise at the door, Gu Jinming looked up and then beckoned to Lu Qingyun, "Come here."

"how?"

Despite her doubts, Lu Qingyun still walked up to him.

Gu Jinming closed the medical book in his hand, picked it up, and waved it in front of her. "Do you recognize this?"

Lu Qingyun glanced at his hand, her eyes widened slightly for a second, then returned to normal.

"What happened to the Ouyang family's medical books?"

"Will this be helpful to you? If so, you can take a look."

Gu Jinming pushed the book in front of her.

Lu Qingyun pursed her lips, still holding the baseball cap she hadn't put down, and asked casually, "I heard that the price of this medical book was driven up a lot a few days ago. Where did you get it?"

Lu Qingyun really didn't expect that Gu Jinming would buy the medical book.

"I bought it, do you want to see it?"

Lu Qingyun nodded as she looked at the book in front of her. She picked up the medical book and smiled, "Just what I needed, thanks."

Seeing her smile, Gu Jinming inexplicably felt much better, and the corners of his lips curled up.

Lu Qingyun took the medical book and went back to her room.

After entering the house, she took out her computer, turned it on, and then logged into the dark web, where she first searched for some information.

Sure enough, I saw information on it that the Ouyang family's medical books had been acquired.

She scrolled down and saw the amount of money the medical books had sold. Lu Qingyun felt like she was about to have a heart attack.

Wow, it sells for so much money.
