Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"...My savior."

Gu Chen slowly spoke the rest of his words.

Wu Zhao replied, "To be honest, it's not like that yet."

Only when her strength is restored can the problem with Gu Chen be completely resolved.

Huo Tingchen emphasized, "He's still my savior, right? I don't think it's a problem for me to say that."

“No problem, no problem, it’s just…” Wu Zhao thought to himself, “I don’t know what you’re arguing about.”

Gu Jiaxi was speechless at what Gu Chen and Huo Tingchen said.

He couldn't help but ask, "What kind of bewitching potion did you give my uncle and Huo Tingchen?"

"Huo Tingchen wouldn't let me ask you about my brother's death, and now he won't even let me question your identity?"

Gu Jiaping's death was a huge blow to the Gu family.

The person who invited him onto the ship was from the Shen family, and the Shen family unanimously claimed to the outside world that Gu Jiaping's death was an accident.

However, Shen Jiaojiao secretly told him that Gu Jiaping's death might be related to Shen Zhaozhao.

Although she spoke cryptically, she was indeed referring to Wu Zhao.

According to the bodyguard, Gu Jiaxi could confirm that they had been in contact before.

But... his gaze fell on Gu Chen, "Uncle, are you going to side with her too?"

“If you want to know how your brother died, I suggest you ask Shen Jiaojiao.” Seeing the suspicion in his heart, Wu Zhao said, “Although I don’t know how Shen Jiaojiao smeared me, your brother’s death has nothing to do with me.”

"I suppose you've already asked Wu Xingyun, but you didn't get any useful information from him. However, you don't want to doubt him, right?"

Wu Zhao smiled meaningfully, "You don't want to doubt him, could it be because... his surname is Wu?"

“If you don’t want to offend the Wu family, why don’t you ask me if I have any connection with the Wu family? After all, I also have the surname Wu.”

Then she glanced at Gu Chen and clicked her tongue twice: "To be honest, no matter who it is, when faced with a weakness... they'll all be biased."

"What do you mean?" Gu Jiaxi's expression froze.

Huo Tingchen seemed to realize something and chuckled, "Oh, so you've already asked the Wu family and that's it? I was wondering why you didn't come down when Wu Xingyun arrived. So you were afraid of the Wu family?"

How did this silly kid even get into a relationship? Wu Zhao gave him a disgruntled look.

Could it be that Shen Jiaojiao used some kind of love potion on him when she targeted him?

As Wu Zhao was lost in thought, his phone suddenly vibrated in his pocket.

She took out her phone and turned it on; it was a voice message from Wu Xingyun.

I tapped the screen, and the person speaking was a woman with a cool, clear voice.

“Miss Wu, I heard you’re taking my brother on a long trip. He was able to come back safely last time thanks to you. He’s going with you this time, so I’ll have to trouble you.”

"I have some information about the Shen family and that program here. I happen to be in Haicheng right now. If you don't mind, I can bring it to you later."

It was Wu Shiyu's voice.

Gu Chen was somewhat surprised: "She hasn't returned to the capital yet?"

"As expected of the young master of the Wu family in the capital, you're very fast at gathering information." Wu Zhao praised, and replied somewhat awkwardly that there was no problem.

She then looked at Gu Jiaxi, who seemed a little uncomfortable, and asked, "When the young master of the Wu family comes later, why don't you ask her yourself?"

"No need," Gu Jiaxi refused stiffly. "I have things to do with the team, I'll go now. Uncle, I'll come see you again when I have time. Please don't go to the Gu family for now. My mother is in a bad mood, and I'm afraid she'll take it out on you—"

"She probably won't be coming for a while," Gu Chen said calmly. "You haven't met your mother since you came to Haicheng, have you?"

The news that Madam Gu was struck by lightning should not have reached Gu Jiaxi's ears yet.

Otherwise, he wouldn't have said it so casually.

After saying that, Gu Jiaxi left without looking back. Before leaving, she gave Wu Zhao a warning look: "You'd better really not have any ulterior motives, otherwise I will definitely not let you off easily."

"You're threatening people now!" Huo Tingchen immediately started rolling up his sleeves, looking ready to start a fight.

"Guard your uncle well!" Gu Jiaxi ignored him, reminded him, and then left without looking back.

They looked like they were fleeing in disarray.

"I think he's probably too scared to see Wu Shiyu. He just suffered a loss at her hands before," Huo Tingchen mocked.

Wu Zhao shook his head, "I'm afraid it's not just because I've suffered losses..."

She spoke very softly, and Huo Tingchen didn't hear her clearly.

He walked over to Gu Chen and said, "Uncle, Gu Jiaxi just said upstairs that it seems the capital has refused to continue investigating Gu Jiaping's cause of death. Moreover... his body has not been found yet, and they probably won't say he's dead to the outside world."

"They'll just say he's missing, and apart from Madam Gu, the Gu family probably agrees with that."

Gu Chen's gaze turned cold, and his tone was chilling: "I'm afraid there's something going on with the Imperial Capital's high-ranking officials in the Pearl Islands. Where is that undercover agent we rescued now?"

"He's temporarily settled in our hospital. Don't worry, his identity has been erased both overtly and covertly. He's surrounded by our own people inside and outside the hospital, and we've already notified everyone."

Huo Tingchen thought for a moment and then said, "However, to avoid any accidents, I have already contacted Wu Shiyu in advance. She will arrange for someone to stay at the hospital and notify me immediately if anything unexpected happens."

“Very good.” Gu Chen nodded. “So that’s why Wu Shiyu hasn’t left Haicheng yet. You’ve made good arrangements.”

Wu Zhao couldn't help but say, "So you really are quite reliable when you're in good shape."

He has considered all aspects and knows how to say what should be said and what should not be said, which is worthy of an heir from a prominent family.

"My uncle told me everything when he came back, so naturally I have to handle everything properly." Huo Tingchen smiled, a hint of guilt on his handsome face.

He said with some hesitation, "It's just that the old house keeps causing trouble, and I can't handle it."

Wu Zhao exclaimed in surprise, "Yue Jinsheng is paralyzed, how dare they come?"

Gu Chen's lips twitched, and he seemed to let out a soft sigh.

"Some people...are used to being shameless and unreasonable."

Huo Tingchen immediately looked embarrassed.

Gu Chen dared to say that, but he, being of a lower generation, wouldn't dare to!

“Oh…your biological father.” Wu Zhao understood.

She pressed the gem on her ring. "Tsk, this old man is a bit difficult to deal with."

"Even his own father was hospitalized because of his annoyance, and he's still causing trouble outside. If you don't mind, I can let him stay home and rest for a few days until I come back?"

He could cast a sleeping spell or something; after all, Gu Yang isn't a good person.

I hope I won't get struck by lightning.

As Wu Zhao was considering the feasibility of this matter, a sudden clap of thunder came from the sky outside.

Rumbling--

I can't even think about it?!

Enraged, Wu Zhao gave the middle finger to the window.

That scoundrel Tiandao, he just loves to mess with me, doesn't he!

Before she could even put her hand down, Wu Shiyu, who looked travel-worn, was welcomed in by Ni Bo.

Behind him followed Wu Xingyun, who looked like a quail.

I happened to see Wu Zhao giving the middle finger.

The three of them looked at each other.

Wu Xingyun: "Ah... my goodness, my great ancestor, you..."

Wu Zhao covered her face.

Shut up, you brat! Your ancestors must be wishing they could disappear into the ground right now!
