Qiu Shuiyue slightly nodded, and left with a dejected look.

In the car.

Ye Chaxu's expression was dejected, still thinking about the unpleasantness that just happened at the hot drinks store.

"Su Xu, don't be unhappy. I'll take back the insult Qiu Shuiyue gave you today." Gu Shen comforted her, and decided to speed up the attack on the Xu.

"No need." Ye Chaxu refused.

So what if Qiu Shuiyue insulted her? Could she get it back?

No, no matter what, she was still her own mother. At most, she would just ignore it and never interact with it again, but if she had to deal with Qiu Shuiyue, she wasn't willing to do it, much less do it.

Thus, she indifferently said, "Forget it, it's only right that she hates me. After all, it's because of me that you're dealing with the Xu family's company."

Hearing that, Gu Shen's expression became uneasy. He was doing this to the Xu family, which was why he had forced Qiu Shuiyue to do this.

"Camouflage, don't be so kind all the time." He sighed, thinking that Ye Chaxu was too kind.

Ye Chaxu shook his head, and said calmly: "You can deal with anyone you want, but Qiu Shuiyue doesn't. Promise me, that's fine, but don't deal with the Xu family anymore." Gu Shen could hate Qiu Shuiyue, but things could not be done too excessively. Although Qiu Shuiyue was really unreasonable, there were some things that needed to be done, so he could not force Qiu Shuiyue to the end of the line.

Gu Shen frowned, a look of bewilderment flashing past his eyes: "Why?"

Ye Chaxu did not reply, she lowered her head and thought, making it impossible for people to see the emotions hidden in her eyes.

She didn't want to talk about Qiu Shuiyue being her mother. Since she didn't want to admit it, then let this secret rot in her stomach!

She was driven mad by Qiu Shuiyue's words just now and almost revealed her identity, but Zheng Xin was in such a hurry because he was afraid that she would expose her identity.

Actually, Zheng Xin was very afraid of her, so he used Qiu Shuiyue's life to threaten her and keep this a secret.

Hehe! Now was not the time.

Initially, Qiu Shuiyue was willing to abandon her. Now that he treated her in such a manner and loved Zheng Xin so much, even if he found out about her identity, he probably wouldn't be willing to recognize her.

"Don't ask me why, just promise me, okay?" She raised her head in anticipation and looked at Gu Shen, begging him with her eyes.

Gu Shen was startled. His expression did not change but his heart was filled with doubt.

Why did Ye Chaxu plead for? There was a time before, but this was only the second time.

Although she was pleading for before, Xu Jiawen was Qiu Shuiyue's daughter, and now that she was begging for Qiu Shuiyue's help, it was obviously because she treated Qiu Shuiyue well. Adding that she looked at Qiu Shuiyue with a sorrowful look, it made him feel that it was strange, feeling that there was some connection between Ye Chaxu and Qiu Shuiyue, and he didn't know it.

"Gu Shen, I just do not wish for you to deal with the Xu family and bring me hatred." Ye Chaxu knew that Gu Shen had his suspicions, if he did not give them a reason, he was afraid that he would not believe it, and explained: "You think they are bullying me, wanting to help me take revenge, but by doing so, you will only make them hate me more and more, if you force them, what if they find someone to deal with me?"

"No, I will prevent this from happening." Gu Shen said seriously. He would prevent the other party from rising again, and he would not even have the chance to take revenge. After all, the grass could not be burned, and spring winds would rise again.

"Alright, I know you have thoughts. Just promise me this once, okay?" Ye Chaxu pouted, her face filled with unhappiness.

Seeing that, Gu Shen frowned and asked: "What if I don't agree?"

"Then I'll keep talking." If Gu Shen did not agree, she would continue to persuade him and start the pestering mode, as long as he could endure it.

In any case, she had done this before.

Gu Shen frowned impatiently, his voice also emitting traces of cold air. "Ye Chaxu, this is not the time for you to act willfully."

Ye Chaxu's expression changed, he trembled as he looked at Gu Shen, feeling wronged.

Gu Shen's eyes narrowed, and his expression became ugly.

Damn it, he couldn't stand her tears.

"Gu Shen, just agree!" Ye Chaxu's voice carried a trace of urgency, and she couldn't wait for Gu Shen to stop pursuing the matter.

Finally, Gu Shen slowly nodded and agreed.

He couldn't do anything about her tears. Everyone said that when a woman cried, a man's heart would ache for her and he felt helpless about it. That was right.

"Su Xu, I will not pursue this matter because of you. This is also the last time that I have promised to let the Xu family go, but the next time, I will not listen to your words." Gu Shen warned Ye Chaxu with a stern expression.

Ye Chaxu nodded her head, Gu Shen had already released the Xu Family last time, but now, she was letting it go again. If Qiu Shuiyue was still restless, she would not beg for mercy, after all, Qiu Shuiyue was the one who was seeking death.

Gu Shen shook his head, sighing helplessly, as he quietly drove.

Ye Chaxu knew that Gu Shen was depressed, so he did not speak anymore and looked out the window.

Late at night.

Just as Gu Shen laid on the bed, his phone rang.

Seeing that Mo Xie had called, he frowned and picked up: "What's the matter?"

"Gu Shen, the murderer is dead." Mo Xie's bone-piercing cold voice came out from the phone.

Hearing that, Gu Shen immediately sat on the bed, his face full of shock.

When he thought of something, his expression became slightly serious, and his entire body was tainted with a bone-piercing coldness. "When did this happen?"

"We looked for the murderer through the portrait, but who knew that when we looked for him, he was already dead, and he just died, apparently he was killed by someone. It seems that the murderer has someone behind him, and the person behind him saw that the murderer's whereabouts were exposed, so he chose to kill him. I'm afraid that this killer is not the real culprit." Mo Xie said calmly on the phone, but he was very unhappy.

Their people had worked so hard, and they had a clue, but now it was gone.

Hearing that, Gu Shen's face became even more ugly, his entire body was enveloped in a layer of killing intent.

Ye Chaxu, who was sleeping at the side, faintly heard some content. With a bitter face, her eyebrows drooped down and she cast an indifferent yet sad shadow on her face.

Sigh! It seemed like the person behind her wanted to kill her.

Once the culprit died, there would be no way to prove that she was not the culprit. Unless evidence was found on the culprit to prove that Grandmother Gu was really killed by someone else, she would not be able to clear up her crime.

"The dead have evidence too. Find a medical examiner and have a good look at the cause of death. Tell me after the investigation." Gu Shen said coldly, the cold energy still filling his body.

Mo Xie replied and hung up.

Gu Shen looked at his phone. His obsidian eyes were like an eagle's eyes hidden in the darkness, radiating with a frightening cold light.

The person behind the scenes was truly capable, to the point of being unable to prove his death.

Even if he couldn't find any evidence against the suspect, did he really think that there was nothing he could do?

Heh!

He was Gu Shen, and also a member of the Gu family. He had never admitted defeat, and if this method didn't work, then he would think of another way.
