Huangquan Dessert Shop

Chapter 23 Alliance

It took a few days to calm down, and Gu Heng only slept a few nights to get a solid sleep. He has asked the housekeeper to hang up the closure sign for Huangquan cakes and so on for almost two months. He was dealing with the stock in the refrigerator, but he didn't have time to be bullied by the underworld and meddle in other people's business.

But a good day is really a scarce item. Only a few days later, Chu Manrong called him at dinner the other day, asking him to have dinner, and said that he had to come and sent a driver to pick him up. Can get into the Chu family's car.

When he arrived at Chuyuan, the waiter led him to the private room, where rich meals had been prepared, he walked in and sat down and the waiter came to pour the wine, Chu Manrong was sitting opposite him drinking, he asked: "What day is it today?" , Prepare so many dishes."

Chu Manrong asked all the waiters in the room to back out, and said, "I have something important to tell you today, so it's very special."

Gu Heng said: "What's the matter? Did you get troubled by the underworld again?"

Chu Manrong said: "Let's eat first, I'm afraid you won't want to eat after I finish talking."

Seeing Chu Manrong's appearance, Gu Heng said, "You'd better say it first, I'm afraid I won't be able to refuse after listening to it after eating."

Chu Manrong gave him a blank look, took out an old yellowed paper and held it up for him to see, and said, "Do you still remember this?"

Gu Heng glanced at the paper and said, "The Hidden Contract? How did you find it?"

Chu Manrong put down the contract and said: "Mother said that the ancestors of the Chu family and the other two families signed a hidden contract in order to protect the magical artifacts and hide their identities. , I decided to withdraw from the hidden world contract, the Chu family can no longer hide at this time, the magic weapon is exposed, and the identity will naturally be exposed in a short time, so this contract is meaningless."

After listening to her words, Gu Heng thought for a while and said, "You don't have to quit, if you still want to keep hiding, I can help you hide again."

Chu Manrong shook her head and drank the red wine, with a sad expression on her face, and said, "No, I don't want to hide any more, your Gu family has been fighting alone for so many years, and you have never asked us for anything after losing so many lives." I, Chu Manrong, understand that you are here to protect the magic weapon from being exposed prematurely, and for the safety of the common people in the world, but we can no longer hide under the wings of your family, what you have done for our two families Too much."

Gu Heng said: "You, you are too sentimental. Look at the other family. It has been hidden for hundreds of years. I can't find them now. They are not as emotional as you."

Chu Manrong drank the wine and said: "Don't compare me with them. They didn't agree to hide from the world at the beginning, but they disappeared as soon as they hid. No matter how much trouble your family has, they never showed up. It's like disappearing from the world." Yes, from the very beginning, if there was no Gu family, there would be no two families of ours, we would not be able to grow, they...hehe, ungratefulness is nothing more than that."

Gu Heng sighed and said: "These are what we should do. Who made the Gu family the eldest of the three families? The ancestors of the Gu family also left a legacy back then. Unless there is a major event in the world like cholera, if not, we must not expose the three major families. And we The exposure is because of the ghost, since we are exposed, why should we catch up with other people, so you don't have to pay too much attention to it."

Chu Manrong poured herself another glass of wine, took a sip and said, "I know, my mother said it when I took over, but fate forbids us to hide, no matter who is behind it, the three major families now Two of them have been exposed, and the magic weapon has also been exposed. In fact, these are unavoidable, whether it is the underworld or someone else, this is the result they want to see."

Gu Heng got up and walked over, took the wine glass from her hand, and said: "Yes, you are indeed exposed now, but it is not difficult to hide again, why bother to quit, you can completely hide again now."

Chu Manrong was robbed of the wine glass, and said: "I said, I won't hide anymore. Since they want us to surface and we have already jumped out, why hide anymore, why don't we come out and help you?" Said Then she picked up the paper contract and tore it to shreds. After tearing it up, she put the paper in the ashtray and lit it, burning it to ashes.

Chu Manrong looked at the ashes in the ashtray and said, "When my mother was alive, it wasn't the Gu family who complained, but this contract. As long as she had it, no matter how much she liked that person, she couldn't be with him. She thought Withdrew, but that person didn't agree, and she didn't want to let that person down."

Gu Heng said: "You are drunk."

Chu Manrong said: "Where is this? I can only drink three bottles, and I also want to be with the person I like, but he won't be with me if he has this contract, right." Her eyes were fixed on Gu Heng.

Gu Heng said: "Sometimes there must be a hit, but when there is no hit, don't force it."

Chu Manrong said: "Yes, our fate was already determined in the time of our ancestors. It is not up to us to decide. I have always known it, so this time it is not a whim. Don't worry, I have considered it." It's very clear that we want to form an alliance with your family, so that we won't be led by the underworld."

Gu Heng sighed and said, "Okay, anyway, you should be torn up and burned, what else can I say." He returned to his seat, sat down and drank his glass of wine, and then another glass, Said: "In this case, I can agree with you to withdraw from the hidden world, but you have to listen to my arrangements for the rest of the matter, and you are not allowed to make decisions by yourself."

Chu Manrong said: "I am also the head of the family anyway, why should I listen to you."

Gu Heng said with a headache, "At least let me know the head office before doing anything."

Chu Manrong thought for a while and said, "Yes, yes."

Gu Heng glared at her. It was really a headache to have to drink like others with such a poor capacity for alcohol. He called the waiter and asked them to help Chu Manrong back to the room to rest. He went home without eating.

When we arrived at the house, we had finished eating and asked the housekeeper to cook a bowl of noodles to fill his stomach. He came to Gu Yucheng's room, knocked on the door and went in. Seeing that he was still asleep, he sat by his bed and said, "In the future, you And Xiaomeng should pay more attention at school, I only hope that the school is still a pure land."

Seeing his father like this, Gu Yucheng asked, "What's wrong?"

Gu Heng shook his head and said: "Her aunt has a fit, she insists on fighting the underworld with us, hey... I can't persuade you."

Gu Yucheng was silent for a moment and said: "It seems like this can't change anything, there must be a way for the car to reach the mountain."

Gu Heng glanced at him and said: "You can think about it, and treat Xiaomeng better in the future. In some respects, our family can be regarded as indebted to him."

Gu Yucheng became energetic after hearing this, and asked, "How do you say this? What do we owe her family?"

Gu Heng pondered for a moment and said, "Forget it, it's all the grievances of the previous generation. You'll know in the future. It's hard not to play games tonight. Go to bed early." The boss Gu Yucheng turned his head to sleep unwillingly, and Don't decide to ignore Dad tomorrow.

After speaking, Gu Heng got up and left Gu Yucheng's room, went back to his bedroom and changed into his pajamas to take a bath, put hot water in the bathtub, took off his pajamas and lay down in the hot water to relax his tense nerves.

Pei Yuan flashed into the bathroom after a while, and Gu Heng said, "How is the investigation going?"

Pei Yuan said: "I went to the Town God's Temple in the afternoon and sneaked into the back mountain. There is a Chinese-style courtyard on it. From the outside, it occupies a large area, but there are surveillance videos on all sides of the courtyard wall, so I can't go up to check it. Their supplies need to be purchased from the outside market, so if you want to go in there is still a chance, there will be a food delivery truck at 15:00 this afternoon to deliver supplies, and the time should be fixed.”

Gu Heng said: "How many people do they have?"

Pei Yuan said: "There are ten people on the outside divided into four groups, two people in each group fixedly guard the four outer walls, there are two mobile posts, one person in each post, patrolling back and forth, and the fixed posts and mobile posts are exchanged every two hours. Inside I can’t see it, but from the outside, there must be at least 20 guards inside, not including servants.”

Gu Heng said: "Very well, apart from these, do you feel any other differences, things different from ordinary people."

Pei Yuan thought for a while and said, "I paid attention to the changes in the aura, and there is no difference in feeling. It is no different from the aura of ordinary people's houses, but their ingredients are different from ordinary people."

Gu Heng asked: "Why is it different?" Tell me in detail."

Pei Yuan said: "There is nothing else, there are meat and vegetables, but their meat is not processed, it is all live, chickens, ducks, cattle and sheep are all live, there are a lot of them, it seems that the yard does not look like there will be food in the yard." There's a place for livestock, and there's a plant in particular abundance that they transport a lot of, but I don't know that plant."

After Gu Heng heard the words of the plant, his eyes stood up sharply, and he said, "Do you still remember the appearance? Go get a brush and draw it."

Pei Yuan took a pen and paper and drew a simple sketch, but it was enough for Gu Heng to recognize this plant.Gu Heng handed this picture to Pei Yuan and said, "Take it and burn it, don't let a third person see it."

Pei Yuan took the blueprint and exited the bathroom, Gu Heng showed a faint smile, thinking that it's no wonder he couldn't find them for so many years, it turned out to be because of this, it really pays off.
