"Forget it, you don't know what to do. Just pretend that I didn't say anything." Gu Shen smiled faintly, but lowered his head in exhaustion, his eyes filled with helplessness.

Ye Chaxu's face was anxious, he anxiously and excitedly asked, "You mean that we have found the murderer who killed Grandma, and we even know that person, right?"

Gu Shen stiffened, then opened her lips slightly: "Yes."

"Who?" Ye Chaxu's impatience and anger engulfed him as he gritted his teeth and asked, "Who exactly is it? You want to blame me for killing someone? " She had always thought that she wouldn't be able to find out about this, but she never thought that the culprit had actually been found out. From this, it could be seen that Gu Shen was very powerful.

But who was the murderer?

Hearing this, Gu Shen's expression became extremely uneasy.

He couldn't say who the murderer was, because …

Ye Chaxu saw the troubled look on Gu Shen's face, and his heart tensed up. He felt that something was amiss, so he locked his eyes and asked coldly: "You look like you don't want to say it, do you want to protect the culprit?"

Gu Shen did not reply, avoiding Ye Chaxu's gaze.

She was even more flustered when he didn't say anything.

"Is the murderer important to you?" Ye Chaxu looked at Gu Shen in doubt, his face was suddenly covered in a layer of frost, as cold as ice.

After Gu Shen heard this, his eyebrows could not help but knit together.

"Su Xu, after a while, you will know who the murderer is." He said that in a low voice, he did not dare to look at Ye Chaxu, because he could not reveal the culprit for the time being.

Ye Chaxu's face darkened instantly, and asked with furrowed brows: "Can't you say it now?"

"No." Gu Shen's solemn face revealed a cold expression, but the worry in the bottom of his heart could not be dispelled.

Hearing that, Ye Chaxu turned around and left dejectedly, no longer paying attention to Gu Shen.

Seeing that, Gu Shen wanted to catch up, but just as he stepped out, he stopped, his face filled with helplessness.

In the next few days, Gu Shen avoided Ye Chaxu on purpose, because he was afraid she would ask him about the murderer.

Ye Chaxu could feel Gu Shen's estrangement, so she didn't ask too much.

She picked a time and called Li Shuqi out.

In the coffee shop.

Li Shuqi looked at Ye Chaxu who was staring at her seriously, and secretly wiped away his perspiration, and started to panic.

"I think you know what I'm going to ask." Ye Chaxu's face was solemn, without a trace of a smile.

Li Shuqi's mouth twitched, then became expressionless.

Seeing this, Ye Chaxu's eyes revealed a calm and cold light. He said with a calm face, "Shuai Qi, since you already know who the culprit is, why are you still hiding this from me? And you guys have yet to do anything. Could it be that you really want me to prove that I'm the murderer? " She did not understand. Since she had already found out who the murderer was, she should have given it to the police earlier, instead of delaying it and hiding it from them. Even she could not tell them.

Li Shuqi had already cooperated with Gu Shen to find the culprit, so Li Shuqi should already know who it was.

"It's not like that." Li Shuqi frowned, and anxiously said: "Su Xu, don't think too much into it, Gu Shen has his own plans for this matter, just listen to him!"

After Ye Chaxu heard this, his heart skipped a beat and he started to worry, "From your words, I knew that you were intentionally hiding it from me." Just because they didn't say anything, she thought the killer was strange.

A guess formed in her mind, so she boldly asked, "The murderer was a member of the Gu family, wasn't it?"

Hearing that, Li Shuqi's face instantly changed, and with a helpless tone, he whispered: "Su Xu, don't ask anymore, I really can't say."

"Ha ha!" Ye Chaxu laughed coldly, but his face looked gloomy.

They were all trying their best to hide the person who was still able to make things difficult for Gu Shen must be someone from the Gu family.

And who could this person be?

She didn't dare to think about it. If it really was someone from the Gu family, then …

I believe that Gu Shen will not just watch as you step into his cell. If he really does do it, even if I have to risk my life, I will still protect you. " Li Shuqi advised, his expression extremely serious.

Actually, Gu Shen had already guessed that Ye Chaxu would ask him, so he greeted him in advance to keep his mouth shut.

When he found out who the real culprit was, he was also very surprised and was even more shocked than Gu Shen.

But, for the Wealthy Class competition to always be like this, he could understand that if Gu Shen lost, he would not just sit there and watch.

"I know." Ye Chaxu said coldly, his expression extremely cold and his mood extremely low.

Seeing Ye Chaxu's expression, Li Shuqi comforted him again, "Don't even think about it, just pretend nothing happened."

"That was easy." Ye Chaxu smiled lightly, took a deep breath and stood up: "Since you don't want to speak, then I'll go." If he couldn't find out anything, it would be meaningless. He didn't want to think too much into it and wanted to forget about it for the time being.

Li Shuqi did not stop Ye Chaxu. His status could only be placed in a friend's position.

"Handsome, he's already gone. What are you still looking at?" Zhu Yan walked over and sat directly opposite of Li Shuqi.

Li Shuqi looked at Zhu Yan indifferently, and said coldly: "Go away, I don't like to be disturbed." Although the woman in front of him was pretty, he was not interested. If he did not have Ye Chaxu in his heart, then he would still be thinking about flirting with girls, but at the moment, he was not interested.

"Yo!" And you're angry. " Zhu Yan laughed gently, supported her chin with her hands, and looked at Li Shuqi: "Let's chat! Sitting here alone is very boring. If you have me to talk to you, you won't be so lonely. " He took a fancy to Li Shuqi, and felt that not only was he handsome, the way he looked at that woman just now was too gentle. She also wanted to look at him like that, so she took the initiative to greet him.

Li Shuqi glared at Zhu Yan, placed the one hundred yuan on the table, stood up and left.

Seeing this, Zhu Yan hurriedly followed, her face filled with anxiety as she shouted, "Handsome, wait for me. I haven't been told what your name is yet."

Li Shuqi's face had a headache, this girl was too generous …

The day for the design competition grew closer and closer. Ye Chaxu didn't dare to be slow these few days and focused on his studies everyday.

This competition was divided into preliminaries, semifinals, and finals.

In the preliminaries, one would be doing Pts to explain design concepts while in the semifinals, they would need to complete a specific design. In the finals, they would design a gem on the spot to create a specific theme.

Soon, the preliminaries would begin.

On this day, all the contestants came to the competition venue, along with their families, who were cheering for the contestants.

The venue was packed and bustling with people.

Seeing this, Ye Chaxu was a little afraid, because she had never seen so many people in a long time. Asking her to stand on the stage and talk about her design concept, made her feel a little afraid.

"Tofu." Just as she was thinking, she heard Ning Xin's voice.
