Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Half an hour ago.

Gu Jiaping returned to his luxurious private room in a fit of rage, where Shen Jiaojiao, dressed in a revealing dress, was already waiting for him.

Seeing his dark expression, Shen Jiaojiao, who had been smiling, looked at him with concern: "Young Master Gu, what happened?"

"You have the nerve to say that? Didn't you say that Wu Xingyun was the only person on the entire ship who understood mystical arts?! Why is there another bastard who knows this stuff by that damned cripple's side?!"

Gu Jiaping rebuked angrily, his expression extremely displeased.

Shen Jiaojiao's expression changed. "Young Master Gu, did you just run into Patriarch Gu?"

This idiot! Didn't I tell him not to see Gu Chen before he went to the island?

Unaware of Shen Jiaojiao's irritation, Gu Jiaping continued, "What Gu family head? Once Uncle Sheng deals with that old codger, won't the entire Gu family be under his control?"

As he spoke, he took out his phone to make a call, muttering, "I wonder what Uncle Sheng wants to contact me at this time..."

Seeing Gu Jiaping excitedly go to make a phone call, Shen Jiaojiao knew that her plan had been disrupted.

She took out a small, elegant phone and dialed: "Sorry, Brother Ning, there's been a slight mishap here. Gu Jiaping has already met with Gu Chen; I wonder if the talisman has taken effect?"

Shen Jiaojiao paused after hearing something said on the other end of the phone.

Her hand, gripping the phone tightly, was slightly pale. "I...I understand."

"Don't worry, there won't be any accidents this time. It's just... after we land on the island, I'll need you to find someone else to come with me."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Jiaojiao took a deep breath.

She squinted at Gu Jiaping's back, a hint of coldness in her eyes.

Regardless of who the sorcerer is with Gu Chen, you're definitely going to take the blame for the accident that happened to the second young master of the Gu family!

The people around Gu Chen killed the young master of the Gu family. Isn't this the best stepping stone for that gentleman of the Gu family?

A glint of light flashed in Shen Jiaojiao's eyes.

……

Screams and hurried footsteps echoed outside the room.

Wu Xingyun immediately went to the door and listened. "Someone is dead?"

"It can't be this fast, can it?" Wu Zhao was somewhat surprised. She thought for a moment and said, "I roughly know who it is..."

Gu Chen smoothed out his torn shirt. "Should we go out and check?"

Before Gu Chen could speak, there was a knock on the door: "Hello, Mr. Gu. I'm from the ship's security. There's something I need to confirm with you."

Wu Xingyun placed his hand on the doorknob and looked at Wu Zhao and Gu Chen.

"Wait a moment," Gu Chen replied, then looked at Wu Zhao and said, "It seems they're here for me."

Raising an eyebrow slightly, Wu Zhao said, "That's not necessarily true. Why don't you go change your clothes first?"

His clothes were half-undone, making it look as if he had been sexually assaulted.

After Gu Chen entered the room, Wu Zhao asked Wu Xingyun to open the door.

A tall, burly man in a suit stood outside the door.

The man was wearing sunglasses, so his face wasn't clearly visible, but Wu Zhao could still sense the bloodlust emanating from him.

The bloodlust of someone who has killed!

How interesting, the security personnel on the ship are actually desperate criminals.

This discovery made Wu Zhao increasingly curious about the ship's owner, a man named Earl of the Night.

"I am the Earl's bodyguard and the security chief on this ship, Hei Qing. Excuse me, is Mr. Gu not here?" Although the man was asking Gu Chen, his eyes behind his sunglasses were fixed on Wu Zhao.

They came for her. Wu Zhao was certain of their intentions.

This put her at ease a little, because at least she could confirm that the people on the ship wouldn't attack Gu Chen for the time being.

"What is it?" Wu Xingyun also sensed the man's malice towards Wu Zhao.

He took a slight step and stood in front of Wu Zhao.

He heard someone speaking into his dark blue earpiece, and he said, "The second young master of the Gu family has run into some trouble. The surveillance footage on the deck shows that this lady had contact with Young Master Gu."

"I would like to ask this lady to come with me."

Before Wu Zhao could speak, Wu Xingyun said without hesitation, "Impossible, she won't go with you."

His dark complexion stiffened, and he pressed his lower back, warning in a deep voice: "This is the Earl's ship. Someone has died on board, and it was the young master of the Gu family. No one can disobey the Earl's orders!"

Wu Xingyun sneered, "I don't care what counts or marquises you are. No one can mess with the people my Wu family wants to protect!"

This was the second time he had stood in front of her.

As Wu Zhao thought about it, a gentle smile appeared in his eyes as he watched Wu Xingyun's retreating figure.

As soon as Gu Chen came out of the house after changing his clothes, he immediately caught the fleeting smile in her eyes.

He stared at Wu Xingyun's back of the head for a while before saying, "She is a guest of the Gu family. Has Earl of the Night made up his mind?"

Upon seeing Gu Chen emerge, Hei Qing, who had been about to step forward, stopped in his tracks.

He lowered his hands from behind his back and said, "Mr. Gu, the one who died was the second young master of the Gu family. This is also what the Earl wants to explain to you. The second young master of the Gu family boarded the ship with Mr. Yue Jinsheng's invitation."

"Then you should demand an explanation from him." Gu Chen's expression was indifferent, seemingly unconcerned about Gu Jiaping's death.

"But Miss Shen said that Young Master Gu's accident was caused by his contact with this sorcerer by your side!" Hei Qing said loudly. "Could it be that there are problems within the Gu family, which is why Mr. Gu cannot tolerate Second Young Master Gu?"

His voice was quite loud, and some of the other VIPs outside the room had already come out to see what was going on.

A bucket of dirty water has been poured over me.

"Did you see me make a move with your own eyes?" Wu Zhao held down Wu Xingyun, who was about to explode in anger.

Hei Qing paused for a moment, "No, but Miss Shen said..."

“Whatever Miss Shen says goes. Can she predict the future or see the past? You believe her so much, is she your mother?” Wu Zhao interrupted her rudely.

Hei Qing's face darkened as he was rebuked: "That's just sophistry! The surveillance footage also shows you hitting Young Master Gu!"

"You, a master of mystic arts, could easily outmaneuver an ordinary person like Young Master Gu with just a flick of your finger, wouldn't you?"

Wu Zhao's expression was cold: "Oh, so you know I'm a sorcerer."

She suddenly produced a piece of yellow paper in her hand and gently shook it: "Then guess if I can trick you with a flick of my finger?"

Hei Qing was startled and took a few steps back warily.

"A fool who's being used as a pawn without even realizing it." Wu Zhao shook the talisman. "I've never seen anyone so stupid."

Pfft. Wu Xingyun couldn't help but laugh out loud, while Gu Chen beside him helplessly rubbed his forehead.

Wu Zhao had already guessed who Miss Shen was, so she said, "What can a fake like her who only sneaks around and does dirty tricks behind people's backs say that's true?"

Shen Jiaojiao, who could hear clearly through the earpiece, clenched her hands in hatred.

Shen! Zhao! Zhao!

It’s you!

Very well, I was planning to figure out how to deal with you after I got back, but I didn't expect you to deliver yourself to my doorstep!

With a crash, she swept the water glass in front of her to the ground, where it shattered into pieces.

Hei Qing was silent for a while, and then Shen Jiaojiao said something to him through the earpiece.

He nodded and said, "In that case, we can only wait until we reach Pearl Island and ask you all to explain to the Earl yourselves."

Once we get to the island, won't it be up to the Earl to call the shots?

"Don't worry, members of the Gu family will come in person." Gu Chen naturally understood the threat in his words.

Hei Qing only saw Gu Chen raise the phone in his hand, and the clear screen showed that the call was in progress.

Gu Jiaxi!

The eldest son of the Gu family, the most outstanding lieutenant colonel in the Imperial Capital Military Region!

The three clear words revealed a hint of shock and anger in the eyes behind the dark sunglasses.

"Mr. Gu, you—"

A calm yet powerful voice came from the other end of the phone: "I'd also like to know what kind of explanation Earl of the Night wants for my brother's death on a cruise ship in international waters!"

"I will personally go to the island and meet this Earl!"
