Chapter 13 The Chu Family Was Stolen
When Gu Heng came back in the afternoon, he saw Pei Yuan practicing martial arts in the yard. Seeing Gu Heng's return, Pei Yuan put away his posture and greeted him, "Master, did you go out early in the morning?"
Hearing his question, Gu Heng obviously had something to say, and said, "Yeah, what's the matter?"
Pei Yuan said: "I woke up in the morning and found my dad in your room. He said that you ordered him to change the sheets for you. I didn't know if it was true or not, so I chatted with him and watched him finish changing, but I saw him He was already in there."
Hearing what he said, Gu Heng asked, "Where's your father?"
Pei Yuan said, "He went grocery shopping."
Gu Heng took Pei Yuan upstairs to his bedroom.
Gu Heng said: "When you saw him, where was he standing?"
Pei Yuan thought for a while and said, "Wardrobe, he was standing in front of the wardrobe, the door was half-closed, I didn't see the details."
Gu Heng opened the closet and took a look. He couldn't see anything on the surface, but with sharp eyes, he saw that the collar of one of the suits was rolled inside. When he hung his clothes, he always paid attention to the smoothness of the collar.
Then he found a hidden compartment under the bed and pressed it hard, and an invisible door opened on the wall. Gu Heng didn't care that Pei Yuan was still there, he went in and picked up a dark green box on the shelf next to the wall Opened it and looked, the contents inside were still there. It seemed that the butler was looking for it. After thinking about it, he stuffed the Yu Ruyi in the box into his pocket, sent it to the cabinet beside him, and took out an old-looking one. Put the brass lock in, close the lid and put the box back on the shelf.
After walking out, he pressed the secret compartment under the bed again, and the door became invisible again. He said to Pei Yuan, "Find a chance to reveal this secret door to him."
Pei Yuan looked at Gu Heng with a little surprise, and said, "Who are you?"
Gu Heng said: "Anyway, he has already found it, and he will find out in a few days. Why don't you tell him and ask him what he is looking for? After all, there is no distance between the hearts of father and son, right? "
Pei Yuan said: "Master, why is this? Are you worried that I will tell him behind your back?"
Gu Heng raised his hand to interrupt him, patted him on the shoulder and said, "I said that although I don't know you well, I can trust your master, so just do what I say."
Pei Yuan didn't ask any more questions, but just nodded.
After the kidnapping of the young master of the Gu family recently, it seems to have calmed down a bit. There is no movement in the underworld, even Zhong Kui seems to have disappeared, and the WeChat group in the underworld is also quiet, but Gu Heng feels that this is very similar. The calm before the storm.
Gu Heng's every premonition came true. Gu Yucheng didn't see the Chu family's car when he went out early in the morning, so he went back and asked his father. Gu Heng obviously didn't receive the notification, so he called Chu Manrong. , but it was Chu Xiaomeng who picked it up. Gu Heng asked, "Where's your aunt Xiaomeng? Has something happened to your family?"
Chu Xiaomeng said with seriousness and anxiety in her tone: "Uncle Gu, I'm sorry, I can't go to school today. There was an accident at my house last night. My aunt is organizing people to investigate now."
When Gu Heng heard that something happened to the Chu family, he thought of the treasure of the Chu family's town house, and asked, "What happened? How is your aunt feeling?"
Chu Xiaomeng lowered her voice and said, "My secret room was broken into by unknown creatures last night, and lost things. My aunt probably wants to kill people now."
Gu Heng said: "Then be obedient at home and stay away from your aunt. I'll go and see her in a while."
Chu Xiaomeng agreed, she didn't intend to hang out in front of her aunt today, and the Chi Yu who was affected was the worst cannon fodder.
Gu Heng hung up the phone and said to Gu Yucheng, "You should also rest at home for a day today, and I will call your teacher to ask for leave later."
Gu Yucheng wondered why his father let him rest at home, and asked, "What happened to the Chu family?"
Gu Heng said: "Something happened, I don't have a clue yet, I'll go over to have a look in a while, be honest and don't go out at home today, and don't open the door when anyone comes, I'll inform the housekeeper later."
Gu Yucheng nodded. Although he was curious, his father would definitely not take him with him at this time. However, he still had a way to ask questions in the Chu family. When Gu Heng just left the house, he ran up the stairs with three feet and two feet. Turn on the computer and chat with Chu Xiaomeng.
Before leaving, Gu Heng told the housekeeper not to let anyone in today, let alone the young master, and left.
The people who came in and out of the Chu family gate seemed to be in a very urgent situation. Gu Heng came here many times before, so no one stopped him. He entered the gate and went directly to Chu Manrong's study. The familiar voice was arranging various matters. He waited at the door for a while before entering, and knocked on the door when he entered.
Chu Manrong looked up and saw him standing at the door, a little surprised, and asked, "Why are you here?"
Gu Heng folded his arms and leaned against the door frame and said, "Let me see if I can help."
Chu Manrong said, "How do you know something happened to my family?"
Gu Heng said: "Your car didn't show up this morning, and neither did Xiaomeng, so I called and asked."
Only then did Chu Manrong remember that she had promised him to send Gu Yucheng to school, and said apologetically, "Sorry, I forgot to notify you in advance."
Gu Heng shook his head slightly and said, "It's okay, I'll give my kid a day off as well, and he's happy right now."
Chu Manrong said: "It's just in time for you to come, otherwise I would have to send someone to look for you."
Gu Heng shrugged slightly and said, "Tell me, is there anything I can do to help?"
Chu Manrong took him to the underground secret room of the Chu family. The passage to the secret room was twists and turns. During the process, he passed through three invisible doors. It is difficult to get in, and it is not easy to get things after entering.First of all, there is an organ set by the Chu family in the secret room. To open the door, you need to use the badge passed down to the owner by the Chu family, and the badge is in Chu Manrong's hands. If you need to get something after entering, you must know the exact location of that thing, otherwise It will trigger the mechanism.
When the two came to the secret room, there was an obvious stench inside, and there were two elders of the Chu family checking the scene. Seeing Gu Heng coming, they said to Chu Manrong, "Why did you bring outsiders here so casually?" gone?"
Chu Manrong didn't answer directly, but asked, "What did the two uncles find out?"
The two elders of the Chu family said: "It's a child. The footprints and handprints are all left by children, but how could a child pass through the formation, and there is such a stench."
Chu Manrong said: "The two uncles should go to rest first, you have been here for a long time."
One of the thin, gray-haired elders said: "Xiao Rong, the Gu family was sorry to our family back then, you must not forget this grudge."
Chu Manrong said seriously: "That incident and today's incident are two different things. The two uncles have nothing to do with you here. Please go back."
Another slightly fatter old man said: "Xiao Rong, you can't be ungrateful. Before your mother died, you entrusted us to help you. Now that we are old, you don't see us two old men?"
Gu Heng knew Chu Manrong's temper, and if she continued to quarrel like this, she would still be at a disadvantage. He took the old man's words and said, "Senior, you have a plump body and a ruddy complexion. You want to come to the Chu family to support people, but Even though the senior just now was thin, he could see the spirit of immortality, and it seems that the Chu family has never neglected the knowledge of the ancestors in the past generations."
The slightly fatter old man said: "That's right, my Chu family's feng shui is naturally the best in this city. Although the Chu family's knowledge does not dare to be number one, it is still much better than your Gu family."
Gu Heng didn't care about them belittling his family, and said: "Then I don't understand why the Chu family is so supportive, why the Patriarch's face is full of fatigue, and his complexion is not as good as the two of you, since you are all his Senior, why don't you care about seeing her suffering alone?"
The thin old man said: "She is the head of the family, so naturally she has to bear the pressure of the whole family."
Gu Heng turned back blankly in an instant, and said, "Then why did you shamelessly mention Chu's mother asking you to help her? Since you are a shopkeeper, you have to know how to avoid suspicion. Greed is not enough to swallow elephants." Shall I teach you? Besides, you still know that she is the Patriarch? Seeing how old you are, you have forgotten all the rules. No matter how old you are, you will always kneel down when you see the Patriarch. It is filial piety not to let you kneel down, but it is your sin to push your nose on your face."
The two old men were so angry that they couldn't speak. They pointed at Gu Heng's nose and yelled for a long time, but they couldn't hold back a word, and finally turned their heads and left.
Chu Manrong said, "Thank you."
Gu Heng said: "Don't be in a hurry to thank me, just take a look at the situation here and then talk about it later."
Hearing what he said, Chu Manrong asked, "What's wrong with you?"
Gu Heng went to the item storage shelf to check the traces left by the thief. The small handprints and footprints were indeed children's, but the faint trace of black oil and the stench in the air all pointed to a kind of creature.He walked back to Chu Manrong and said, "Someone ordered the kid to steal it."
Chu Manrong said doubtfully, "Little devil? How are you sure?"
Gu Heng pointed to the shelves and said, "There are corpse oils on those traces, and the stench in the air is the unique smell of little ghosts."
Chu Manrong said: "If you have any conclusions, let's talk about it together."
Seeing her like this, Gu Heng didn't hide it anymore, and said, "Ghost, your two uncles also have problems. It's not surprising that you haven't seen refined corpse oil and don't know about it, but according to what I know, your two uncles have problems." Knowing that you have seen the world, it is impossible not to recognize the corpse oil and smell the little ghost."
Chu Manrong said, "You mean the ghosts are them?"
Gu Heng shook his head and said: "It's up to you to investigate this. They do have problems, but they may not be the inner ghosts. Maybe they just want to remove you from the position of Patriarch. But you can take the opportunity to suppress it. Let them die, anyway, they have already presented the opportunity to you."
Chu Manrong said, "Okay, I understand."
Gu Heng said, "Is that thing okay?"
Chu Manrong nodded and said, "Very well, the one that was stolen was just a fake. I really didn't leave it at home at all."
Gu Heng raised his hand and tapped her on the forehead, and said with a smile: "Okay, little girl, you can't be underestimated when you play tricks, your expression in the secret room just now almost fooled me."
Chu Manrong rubbed her forehead and said, "I can't help it. After the accident in your house, my mother probably sensed that someone would spy on this thing, so she asked me to move it to another place."
Gu Heng said: "It doesn't matter if you transfer them away, it seems that they haven't relaxed for a moment in these years, and my family also has something to worry about."
Chu Manrong said: "You don't have to worry on my side, I can take care of those two old guys, this brat, if you want to know the whole story, you have to find the person behind it."
Gu Heng thought for a while and said, "I'll ask someone to look for this matter, but don't be in a hurry. Since they dare to tamper with our territory, they are naturally not afraid of us investigating. If they don't make any more noise after this time, we will count it as nothing." It’s not easy to find even if you dig three feet.”
