Rebirth: He refused to Divorce Again-Chapter 1420: Split Into Twelve Pieces

"She came to see me, are you referring to Ouyang Rong?" Gu Qiaoqiao still hadn’t realized.

Qin Yize explained patiently, "If she’s really behind this, there must be a motive. Her aim might be primarily to exchange for something most precious from your Gu Family to solve the current predicament."

"How does she plan to resolve it? Could it be that she intends to restore these things as they were?"

Qin Yize nodded, "Perhaps."

Gu Qiaoqiao stood still, the shutters on Yubao Square’s windows were not open, the room was lit by fluorescent lights. Although she knew the sunshine was abundant outside, Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart was clouded with gloom.

She had clearly taken the initiative, yet compared to her opponent, she was still a step behind. If she had directly dealt with Ouyang Rong that day, would there still be today’s consequences?

With such thoughts, Gu Qiaoqiao’s expression turned somewhat ferocious. Qin Yize extended his hand, gently embraced Gu Qiaoqiao, then patted her back, softly comforting, "Don’t rush, there’s always a way to resolve everything."

"Ah Ze, how do we solve this situation? Do we hand over that painting without a fight?"

Qin Yize didn’t speak; he knew well if the other party was endlessly demanding, there’s no telling what more they might want.

Suddenly, Gu Qiaoqiao thought of something, she furrowed her brows tightly and said to Qin Yize, "It can now be confirmed that these people are certainly colluding with that person behind the scenes. During this time, more than just their items were sold. Why did only these few come while others did not?"

Then she deflated, saying, "So what if that’s the case? At that time, they indeed used money to purchase items, and what they brought indeed came from our Yubao Square."

This was what made one gnash their teeth in anger the most.

Yet they, the Gu Family, were helpless.

Gu Qiaoqiao initially wanted to tell her Great Grandfather about it, but on second thought, decided against it for now, as they still had no concrete evidence, and knowing would be futile.

But sitting idly, waiting for Ouyang Rong to come and negotiate was something Gu Qiaoqiao couldn’t do, besides, what if it wasn’t her?

However, regardless of who, someone would eventually approach Yubao Square. For the next few days, they just had to wait here.

At that moment, voices were heard from outside, followed by Zhang Yi approaching to tell Qin Yize, "Ah Ze, your comrade is here."

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly said, "You should go. This must be someone maliciously framing us, and I am not very knowledgeable about financial matters. A professional should be involved. Trust your comrade; they’re sure to give a fair conclusion."

Qin Yize nodded, patted Gu Qiaoqiao’s back, and said softly, "Qiaoqiao, I’ll step out."

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, then instructed, "Ah Ze, close the main door, don’t let anyone in, then tell Uncle Zhang that I have something to attend to here."

Qin Yize hesitated for a moment, then softly said, "Alright, I will tell Uncle Zhang." He then turned and walked toward the door leading to the other side of the reception room.

Qin Yize, after exchanging a few words with Zhang Yi waiting at the door in a low voice, tightly shut the door.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked around, then moved to the wall switch, turning on all the lights, including the ones above the counter, thus brightening the room once again.

Everything became clearly visible.

Gu Qiaoqiao flexed her fingers and then swiftly started drawing talismans in the air, isolating the room’s surroundings with Barrier Talismans.

In fact, Barrier Talismans were already present here, but they obviously hadn’t been effective. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

And, really, what would people of the Mystic Sect dare to do in broad daylight? These Barrier Talismans merely deter ordinary folks, much like locks on doors, meant to guard against upright people rather than villains.

Gu Qiaoqiao approached a counter, where a vibrant green bracelet was placed, entirely jade-green. It seemed the most valuable item there. When her thoughts calmed, Gu Qiaoqiao realized that even if heavily damaged, Yubao Square couldn’t be destroyed, but the people behind it might still employ dirty tricks.

Gu Qiaoqiao reached out and carefully picked up the shattered bracelet pieces one by one, placing them on a pristine white towel on the counter, piecing them together bit by bit.

Soon, it was pieced back together into a complete bracelet.

The bracelet remained as jade, not degraded to ordinary stone, just fractured.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed her finger on one of the fractures, and this time, that breath did not attack her finger, since she had already suppressed it with Spiritual Energy while retrieving it.

Gu Qiaoqiao, bit by bit, using her intuition to eliminate that strange breath; once it was dispelled, only the unique Spiritual Energy of the jade remained. Gu Qiaoqiao placed her finger on the fracture again, closed her eyes slightly, and mobilized her full Spiritual Energy.

A few moments later, countless streams of Spiritual Energy burst from Gu Qiaoqiao’s fingertips. Following her intent, Gu Qiaoqiao used her Mind Power to repair the fissure bit by bit.

She herself didn’t know how long had passed; maybe twenty minutes, maybe half an hour. Finally, Gu Qiaoqiao opened her eyes, quickly looking over, and suddenly widened her eyes at the sight that she had actually repaired that fissure.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at her finger and then at the two intact segments of jade. At this point, a drop of sweat fell on the counter with a plop, making her realize her forehead was covered in sweat. She sighed helplessly and counted; this jade bracelet was actually shattered into twelve pieces.

Looking around, it was clear it was absolutely impossible for Gu Qiaoqiao alone, with just her hands, to individually repair these items. This was an extremely draining task.

Moreover, the time required was incredibly lengthy, given that Yubao Square had tens of thousands of items.

Gu Qiaoqiao clenched her teeth in fury, tightly clenching her fists, her gaze emitting a cold aura.

Just like Qin Yize said, patiently wait, as the mastermind will certainly emerge. Doing something so earth-shattering surely means there’s something they want.

Alright, Gu Qiaoqiao consoled herself, she and her Great Grandfather just had to wait patiently.

After the initial shock wore off, Gu Qingfeng and a few others also regained their composure, and the finances coordinated with the bank for investigation. They even ate lunch at Yubao Square, then resumed auditing. By evening, it was clarified that the account was opened with false information, having no ties to the Gu Family, allowing their previously frozen account to be reinstated.

By then, the buyers never appeared again.
