Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1414 - 1413: Seeking a Scapegoat

Fortunately, he planned meticulously. Even for a small plan, he thought of a way out.

He luckily escaped from the soldier exuding a murderous aura, but unfortunately, a bullet hit his leg.

He didn’t dare to go to the hospital, so he endured the pain and had a subordinate skilled in medicine remove the bullet from his leg.

Now, he is recuperating in the house.

He can’t go anywhere.

He Shan, in some respects, is alright. She likes to put on a show and has taken good care of him. However, the master issued a new task, asking him to contact a woman named Ouyang Rong. He looked at the photo and information, and it was said she is the daughter of the Sect Leader of the so-called Mystic Sect.

He doesn’t quite understand these Mystic Sects, but he knows the gun in his hand is different from ordinary guns. It is said that special things are bestowed upon it. Otherwise, it wouldn’t have shot Sect Leader Nie dead instantly.

Luckily, he had this gun. Otherwise, he would have been exposed by Sect Leader Nie, and by then, everything would have come to naught.

Thinking about it carefully now, it’s quite terrifying.

Now, Nie Luan has been taken away by that group of soldiers, Sect Leader Nie is dead, and a new collaborator, the Ouyang Clan, has arrived. The master handed over the secret of the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map to the Ouyang family.

Of course, saying "hand over" may not be entirely correct. It’s more like providing them the secret and telling them things others don’t know. Because they couldn’t obtain the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map, which is still safely in the secret chamber at Yubao Square.

There’s no way. The Hundred Miles of Mountains Map is a painting that needs to be handled very carefully. The secret chamber at Yubao Square is different from foreign ones, with no advanced scientific equipment, just some ancient formations, which trap intruders once they enter.

And not just anyone can enter.

It’s impossible to even find cannon fodder.

If this were some kind of ancient tomb, you could solve the problem with some explosives, but this secret chamber can’t be handled lightly or heavily. Has the master decided to abandon this secret or intends to reap the benefits without effort? It’s still unknown, and he can only rest and recover now.

Luo Er slowly collected the cards back, and a strange thought suddenly surged in his mind. It seemed as if anyone related to the Gu Family or the Qin Family with ill intentions never succeeded.

Should he report this idea to the master?

Usually, Luo Er is never hesitant in his actions, but at this moment, he hesitated.

In mid-September, two grain reserve warehouses in the Northern Agricultural District caught fire on a windy, dry night. The fire quickly spread, burning down nearby farmhouses and fields.

At this time, during the autumn harvest, everything was flammable.

The cause of the fire hasn’t been determined yet, and nearby granaries were also ignited.

For a while, people were panicked, and there were all kinds of rumors and versions, but regardless, the military and police have intervened. This major case alarmed the authorities.

Gu Qiaoqiao heard about this when the car heading to Jinling City was already loaded.

This time, the Old Patriarch is going to Jinling City with Gu Zhixing, and Gu Qiaoqiao isn’t going. She has her matters to attend to. In the evening, the people at Gu Garden gathered to bid farewell to Gu Zhixing.

The Old Patriarch had already chosen the best time to leave, at nine o’clock in the evening, so after dinner, the Old Patriarch and Gu Zhixing were set to leave the Imperial Capital.

Such gatherings and departures are normal for the Gu Family. Just look at Uncle Gu, who travels around the country, spending less and less time at Gu Garden, because he now has to bring up a new batch of recruits. After all, he is getting old and will have to retire eventually. Without a successor, Gu Qiaoqiao can’t manage the vast enterprise that is Gu Garden alone.

Sooner or later, Yubao Square, as well as other businesses of the Gu Family, will be taken over by Gu Qiaoqiao.

At first, Lady Yu was reluctant to see Gu Zhixing leave, but she knew in her heart that even though he resembled her son, they were a generation apart. She couldn’t deceive herself, and everyone had proper business to attend to, so Lady Yu returned to her usual gentle self and calmly bid farewell to Gu Zhixing.

As for the others, they were to stay. This time, Uncle Gu, who had just returned, accompanied the Old Patriarch to Jinling City. With Uncle Gu by his side, the people at Gu Garden felt reassured.

A truck carrying antique items was parked at the entrance of the alley, surrounded by security personnel from Gu Garden and some employees of the Lifeng Security Company.

Boss Xu didn’t come personally, but a detailed plan had been made, and he would meet them halfway.

The antiques aren’t items for opening a store; they are all exquisite pieces. The big boxes and small boxes only filled one truck, but four vehicles accompanied them, and Gu Qiaoqiao placed Barrier Talismans around these vehicles. Whether they worked or not, it was better than nothing.

Quickly, the convoy disappeared from Gu Qiaoqiao’s sight. At this moment, it happened to be nine o’clock and five minutes.

Although Ouyang Rong moved right under her nose, it might not be a bad thing. It made it easier for Gu Qiaoqiao to monitor her. During this time, she hadn’t returned to the Qin Family and lived at Gu Garden. However, she would take time to buy some good food or personally cook a meal to gather with the Qin Family.

During this time, Qin Yize has been busy, and no one knows Nie Luan’s situation. They would only find out when Qin Yize returned.

On the next morning, Gu Qiaoqiao received a call from Uncle Gu. The convoy had safely reached Jinling City, and Yubao Square in Jinling City would open five days later.

Hearing that everything was going smoothly, Gu Qiaoqiao breathed a sigh of relief. Next, she had to focus most of her attention on Ouyang Rong, because since Ouyang Rong left last time, she hasn’t appeared again and it’s unknown what she’s plotting. Since she’s moved to Gu Garden, she surely won’t give up what she wants.

Gu Qiaoqiao pondered, does Ouyang Rong really just want the Hundred Miles of Mountains Map?

Sometimes, Gu Qiaoqiao truly wished she could rush up and confront Ouyang Rong, asking her what she really wanted.

Unfortunately, such reckless actions are not permissible.

The days quietly passed by, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day Yubao Square in Jinling City was opening.

Although she couldn’t personally congratulate them, Gu Qiaoqiao entrusted Boss Xu to handle the necessary matters for her.

Just as Gu Qiaoqiao was about to make a call and say some congratulatory words, the phone in the Gu Garden hall began to ring.
