Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

"My brother?"

After getting out of the car at the villa, Huo Weiwei became somewhat nervous upon hearing what Wu Zhao said.

She held up her phone: "Should I call him?"

Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand, his expression somewhat complicated.

Qingyao pushed the spare wheelchair out of the storeroom, just in time to hear Wu Zhao say something surprising: "Your Huo family shouldn't discriminate against... men liking men, right?"

What the heck? Qingyao slipped and almost pushed his wheelchair into the fish pond next to him.

"Huh?" Huo Weiwei let go of her phone, which fell to the ground. "No way! My dad will break my brother's legs!"

Gu Chen, sitting in his wheelchair, rubbed his forehead: "It probably won't work."

Seeing Qingyao's utterly devastated expression, Wu Zhao laughed twice: "Don't worry, he definitely won't like men."

"His lucky star is a great beauty, a woman."

Wu Zhao emphasized.

“Before I went to Mo Dahai’s show, didn’t I say that there was something wrong with his friends?” Wu Zhao recalled seeing Huo Tingchen’s face back then, “This friend of his is deeply in love with someone…”

Huo Weiwei immediately guessed who it was, her eyes widening: "No way, Brother Ning has a wife!"

宁？

Wu Zhao immediately became interested in this surname.

The person behind Earl of the Night on Pearl Island at that time... was also known as Mr. Ning.

"What's the name of this friend, Huo Tingchen?"

Huo Weiwei replied, "Ning Zhiyuan was my brother's classmate in high school and college."

As she spoke, she picked up her phone and looked around.

A group photo appeared before Wu Zhao's eyes.

Standing next to the tall Huo Tingchen was a handsome young man, both of them still looking quite young.

Ning Zhiyuan… Wu Zhao clenched his fingers and frowned.

"No, this is a fake name."

She couldn't see the person next to Huo Tingchen; his face seemed to be covered by something, as if it were fake.

"Strange." Wu Zhao felt a little dizzy.

She shook her head.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Gu Chen said, "Let's go back first."

The group walked into the house, with Wu Zhao at the back, pondering the meaning of Ye Linyan's words just now.

"Huo Tingchen, the capital, a full moon banquet?"

Gu Chen listened to her murmur and said softly, "Ning Zhiyuan's wife just gave birth, and the full moon celebration in three days is scheduled for the Xiwei Hotel."

“Tingchen sent me a message on the second day of the show’s recording, saying that he would be attending the banquet and would be temporarily returning to the capital.”

"According to the original schedule of Mo Dahai's program recording, we were supposed to return to Haicheng the day after tomorrow, which is the day before the full moon banquet."

In other words, according to the original plan, they would perfectly miss Huo Tingchen?

Normally, Gu Chen would return to Haicheng after the show's recording. If Huo Tingchen were to return to the capital at that time, he wouldn't interfere or go back with him.

However, Mo Dahai's program ran into trouble, and Wu Zhao was forced to go to the capital, while Gu Chen came back with him.

Is someone trying to prevent Gu Chen from returning to the capital?

Thinking back to today's car accident, Wu Zhao frowned: "Who did Ning Zhiyuan marry?"

“A girl from a collateral branch of the Ye family, but according to what he told Tingchen, she has always been ostracized in the Ye family.”

What a headache.

Wu Zhao found a sofa and nestled in it, pressing his temples with a slight headache.

"It's really not easy to stir up the muddy waters of this capital!" Wu Zhao sighed. "I'd rather go back and record a program with Mo Dahai than deal with all this trouble."

Gu Chen reached out and picked up the fruit plate from the coffee table. "Have something to eat."

Wu Zhao casually picked up a few oranges and fiddled with them in his hand: "Trouble is coming soon..."

Ok?

Just as he finished speaking, footsteps sounded outside the door.

Zi Yao pushed open the door and came in, followed by a string of men in uniform.

The person in charge was someone we knew.

"The guards have arrived, Master."

Gu Chen put down the fruit plate and turned his wheelchair. "Hmm."

Gu Jiaxi said solemnly, "Gu Jiaxi, Special Operations Team of the Imperial Capital Garrison."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Master Gu."

Wu Zhao clicked his tongue and shook his head, "What a hypocrite."

Huo Weiwei nodded in agreement: "That's right, it's not like we don't know each other."

Gu Jiaxi's face twitched. "Uncle."

"Sorry for the late arrival. We just came from the hospital. The Gu family sent a team of bodyguards to pick you up, but things went wrong and they had to call the police at the hospital."

Wu Zhao observed the people he brought, then nudged Huo Weiwei next to her and whispered a few words in her ear.

Huo Weiwei's eyes lit up, then she nodded and quietly slipped away.

After a while, she came over carrying a plate.

Several cups of hot water were placed on the plate.

Huo Weiwei said with a smile, "Don't be shy, have some water."

After a moment of silence, the people behind Gu Jiaxi reached for the water glass only after seeing Huo Weiwei's trembling hand.

"You're too kind, thank you very much, Miss Huo."

Sitting on the sofa, Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and twitched his fingers slightly.

hiss--

The scalding hot water cup slipped from my hand.

"Oh dear! How could you be so careless!" Looking at their soaking wet pants, Huo Weiwei exclaimed dramatically, "Zi Yao, why don't you take our guests to clean up!"

After Zi Yao pushed several people out of the living room, before Gu Jiaxi could speak, Wu Zhao said with a hint of mockery, "Were you being watched?"

"A single tree cannot make a forest; what are you doing here?"

Gu Chen looked up at Gu Jiaxi, "What happened?"

"...It's nothing." Gu Jiaxi stubbornly refused to speak.

Wu Zhao rolled her eyes and bluntly exposed him: "What else could it be? His mother, of course."

"I'm still brooding over the death of my precious son and I'm determined to make you miserable."

She glanced at Gu Chen and shrugged.

"I'm sorry, Uncle, I didn't handle this well. Give me a little more time, I'm sure I can—"

Gu Chen interrupted him: "Was it your mother who forced Zhao Zhao to come to the capital? She planned to strike first, trap Zhao Zhao in the guard post, and then torture her into confessing?"

It turns out that it wasn't just the Ye family and Gu Yang's side stirring up trouble; the matriarch of the Gu family was also interfering!

"How did she know that Zhao Zhao was related to Gu Jiaping's death?"

Wu Zhao chuckled at Gu Jiaxi's hesitant expression. "Who else could it be but Shen Jiaojiao?"

"Mr. Gu, you haven't fallen in love with Shen Jiaojiao at first sight, have you?"

His face was so red it looked black, it was hilarious.

Wu Zhao turned the ring around, a hint of impatience and...killing intent flashing in his eyes.

"What nonsense are you talking about? How could I—"

Gu Jiaxi was only halfway through her denial when she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her chest and couldn't continue.

"Fool." Wu Zhao closed his eyes.

Gu Chen keenly sensed Wu Zhao's emotions, and his gaze grew even colder.

"Gu Jiaxi".

The person whose name was mentioned trembled, suppressing his inner shock: "Uncle, it's not what you think. Shen Jiaojiao and I..."

Gu Chen's tone was cold and stern: "Kneel down!"
