C55

Lu Feng was carefully browsing through the documents sent over by Ah Chong the moment he got off the plane.

It took him more than half an hour to finish looking through the contents of the folder. His mood was just as heavy as the bag.

"You've worked hard this trip. Go home and rest first." He pushed Ah Chong away.

Lying on the sofa, Lu Feng thought over this piece of information for a long time before finally picking up his keys and phone and driving out.

He went to the Gu family.

Teacher Tang was somewhat surprised by his arrival. "Why is Feng here today?"

Actually, he had been a regular visitor to the Gu family. However, after Gu Si's illness, he had also been deeply poisoned by Gu Zi's "when in trouble", so he rarely came again. Before coming here today, he had specially asked Gu Zi if he and Gu Si were at home. He only came here after confirming their whereabouts.

He handed the folder to Teacher Tang. "Madam, there are some things I want you to see first."

Tang Xiu told him to sit down and asked A-Qin to make him some tea. At the same time, he dismissed the others. Lu Feng would usually hang out with Gu Zi, so he would directly ask Gu Zi about everything. He must have something important to discuss with her when he wasn't at home, and it was definitely related to Gu Zi's question.

Opening the folder, he took out the information from within and quickly skimmed through the contents. Teacher Tang looked at Qiu Pi's photo with a rarely seen gaze and said in a gentle tone, "Guest, you are from afar."

"They may not be guests." Lu Feng retorted rudely.

Teacher Tang slightly shook her head, treating him as if she were her own son. "Feng, you are the one with the highest education in the Gu family. You can't be like the rest of the people in the family and talk too much."

"Madam has taught me well." Lu Feng nodded as he was taught, "Then what do you plan to do?"

Teacher Tang hesitated for a few seconds. "Anyhow, Qiu Pi came all the way here. If that's the case, why don't you invite her to our house for a visit?"

"Alright, I'll do it right away." Lu Feng stood up, and just as he was about to drink his tea, Ah Xin brought it over to him. "Lute, please have some tea."

Lu Feng had a look of regret on his face. Qin Xin had personally brewed this tea …

"It seems like I don't have the luxury."

Teacher Tang asked him to sit for a while before she left. "There's no need to be in such a hurry."

" "I like to work first before I leave." Lu Feng didn't want to waste any time.

"Sigh …" Teacher Tang suddenly let out a long sigh and sighed with emotion, "Feng, if only you were a woman. You asked and tried your best. If you were a woman, I wouldn't worry about you for the rest of my life."

Lu Feng directly punctured Teacher Tang's fantasy. "Madam, your idea is unrealistic." He even boldly started to scheme against Ah Xin, "I was even pointing out that you promised me Ah Xin for my lack of contributions and hard work."

"Special help!" A'Xin's face darkened.

Elder Tang slanted his eyebrows, indicating for her not to be impatient. She naturally brought justice to her, "No, Qin Xin has already followed A'Mo. You won't have the chance."

"Ah …" Lu Feng's expression appeared to be in even more pain than his heartbreak, but he didn't even make a symbolic attempt. He immediately changed targets and said, "Then, introduce Gu Si's home tutor to me."

Teacher Tang looked at him with a gaze that said "You wish". "That's the young miss of the Ming Group. You don't deserve it."

Lu Feng curled his lips in dissatisfaction. "What era is it now? Why are we still being so particular about being a well-matched family?"

"No matter what era it is, we have to pay attention to the right people. Don't even think about it."

Lu Feng continued to twitch his mouth. Madam's hidden message was, "At the very least, only a rich and powerful family like our Gu family can be worthy of such a famous family's daughter." Is it? He had known from the start that that was the first seed of the Gu Clan's Young Mistress.

"Madame, do you lack a godson?" He refused to give up and wanted to try again. He didn't know what kind of scene it would be in a while, so he decided to take advantage of the peace and relax.

The empress bestowed three words on him, "Scram!"

Lu Feng dejectedly drove away.

After leaving the Gu household, he first called the people who were squatting near Qiu Pi's house. After confirming that she was at home, he drove straight there. Ever since he'd heard her name in her mouth, he'd arranged to have her watched twenty-four hours a day.

Soon, they arrived at Qiu Pi's house. Lu Feng parked his car at the entrance of the building and went upstairs in two or three steps. A middle-aged woman was dragging the stairs as he sidled past her, trying not to soil the floor she had just cleared.

Since Qiu Pi was no longer just a clerk in the company, Lu Feng knocked on the door politely. Qiu Pi didn't answer or open the door.

Lu Feng coldly thought, "Is this the intention of pretending not to be at home?"

Since civilization didn't work, then he could only be a little rude.

He opened her door like he was opening his own house. He first looked around the living room, but there was no one there. Then he looked at the balcony and the kitchen. They were also not there, so it was either a toilet or a bedroom.

The doors on both sides were closed. Lu Feng chose his bedroom using the method of counting soldiers and generals.

Pushing the door open, he found Qiu Pi inside. One of her legs was wrapped in loose sweatpants, while the other was exposed. It was hard to tell if she should wear pants or take off her pants.

Lu Feng coughed loudly before hurriedly closing the door and returning to the living room. He didn't see anything, he didn't know she was wearing white lace panties...

Qiu Pi, on the other hand, couldn't wait to find a hole and hide in it. There was no one at home and he still wanted to come in!

She had accidentally spilled a bucket of water on herself while she was washing her clothes. Who knew that the moment she took off her wet pants, he would start knocking on the door?

Putting on her pants as fast as she could, she opened the door and walked straight towards him, raising her hand angrily to slap him.

Lu Feng saw through her intentions and quickly intercepted her angry hand in the middle of the air. He clenched it tightly, warning her in a single sentence, "You'd better be more obedient."

Qiu Pi's slender arm was in pain from his rough pinching, but he was unable to break free. She gritted her teeth as she glared at him and shouted, "You rascal!"

Lu Feng mocked her stupidity in his heart. Didn't she see that he was doing this for her own good? What would he do if she hit him again? With his personality of not taking advantage of anything, he definitely wouldn't let it go. However, her identity was also so special, so he really couldn't do anything about it.

"Put on your shoes and take me somewhere." He saw her frown slightly from the pain and let her go.

"Where to?" Qiu Pi's face was full of caution.

Lu Feng snappily replied, "I'll sell you out!" What's with all the nonsense! He really couldn't understand how someone as stupid as her would have the courage to come knocking on his door.

"I'm not going." She wasn't stupid enough to obediently follow someone she couldn't stand.

Lu Feng cast another contemptuous glance at him. "Can you do it?" Don't say that he didn't give her a choice, "Do you want to leave by yourself, or should I carry you down?"

Qiu Pi glared at him furiously for a few seconds. In his eyes, it was as if she would turn into a fossil if she were to follow him. Only then did he reluctantly say, "I'll leave by myself."

After changing their shoes, the two of them headed downstairs. Lu Feng was walking in front, while Qiu Pi was walking behind.

Qiu Pi's legs were not agile, and the ground that had just dragged her along was slippery and difficult to walk on. She accidentally slipped and was on the verge of collapse.

Lu Feng had somehow discovered that she was about to fall. He turned around and used one of his hands to pull her waist to stabilize his flailing body.

She panickedly met his faint mocking gaze and said with lingering fear, "Thank you." She was not a person who could be wiped clean. Regardless of what grudges there were between them, she still had to thank them.

Lu Feng righted her body, then reminded her with a pun in his voice, "Be careful."

He held her by the waist and walked her downstairs. They got into the car and headed straight for the Gu household.

The street outside the window was becoming more and more unfamiliar, and she resisted the urge to ask him where he was taking her, because she knew he wouldn't tell her, but when he pulled up in front of a house that could only be described as golden and beautiful, she managed not to ask, "Where is this?"

Lu Feng said expressionlessly, "You've always wanted to come to this place." He got out of the car first and opened the door on her side, "Get out."

Qiu Pi could roughly guess where this place was, and a burst of mixed feelings filled his heart … Finally, she came to the Gu Clan. This day had arrived quicker than she had expected, but she had also waited for so many years.

And Lu Feng, he actually took the initiative to open the door for her … How strange!

They had already investigated her, it seemed. Since that was the case, then he would not speak the truth.

Qiu Pi followed Lu Feng and walked forward step by step. Just as they passed the fountain, a message arrived from Ah Xin. "Master Lu, Madame is waiting for you and Miss Qiu in the garden."

"Got it."

The three of them walked towards the garden.

Teacher Tang sat on an iron chair carved with flowers in the sky. Lu Feng introduced her to Qiu Pi, "This is Director Gu's mother, Gu Si's grandmother."

Qiu Pi did not salute or address her as her father. Instead, he just looked at her calmly and said, "I've heard a lot about you."

The corner of Teacher Tang's eyes moved slightly. Her tail, which was tainted with the aura of time, raised with a smile that was not a smile. Seeing Qiu Pi's reaction, it was clear that she was deeply concerned about the grudge between her and the Gu family.

Then, could she think that she had come with ill intentions?

Unfortunately, the Gu family was not the kind of underworld society that was used to bully the good and feared the evil. They would only punish the evil and bring about good.

" Sit down, please. " Teacher Tang put down the book in her hand as she spoke with a tone as gentle as water.

He pulled out a chair for her and saw that she had a cast on her feet. He was going to help her sit down.

Qiu Pi turned his elbow, refusing to let her touch him.

A'Xin innocently pursed her lips. She also did her best …

Lu Feng wasn't happy when he saw how wronged A'Xin was. Even though A'Mo had beaten her to it, they were still friends even if she couldn't be his wife. For the sake of his friends, he could cut a knife in two.

He decisively reached out his hand to push Qiu Pi forward.

Qiu Pi glared at him angrily and finally sat down.

Teacher Tang picked up a cup of rice without a trace of emotion in her eyes. Li Hua took a sip of tea, as if nothing had happened. A'Xin gave Lu Feng a meaningful glance before the two of them headed deeper into the garden.

After they had left, Teacher Tang put down the teacup in her hand. However, she wasn't paying attention. The teacup fell to the ground with a crisp "porcelain" sound and shattered into pieces.

An alarm that sounded like a military drill had been set off in the Gu household. Dozens of burly men in black suits and black sunglasses also rushed out from all directions. They stood in neat rows behind Teacher Tang like indestructible armored warriors.

Teacher Tang could do nothing but shake her head in her heart. She just slipped …

Wan'er ordered, "Step down."

The black-clothed people answered in unison: "Yes!" They spread out while walking at the same pace.

Only then did Teacher Tang turn her eyes back to Qiu Pe.

Qiu Pi stared at her coldly. Was she trying to show off to her just now? Did this mean that she was still wary of her? If not, how could she display her might the moment she saw her?

Teacher Tang only saw her for a second before she slowly withdrew her gaze.

"Qiu Pi." She called out her name softly and clearly, "You have been in C City for a few years. Why didn't you come back to visit and instead went to the company?" Her voice was soft and gentle, as if she was talking about a family member she had lost for many years. But inside the words, one could also hear the meaning of a few words.

Qiu Pi was expressionless, but Tang Xiu's gentle smile made him seem very cold. "I'm not here to be engaged."

Teacher Tang's smile was as kind as ever. She only replied with a meaningful "Oh, then why did you come?"

"I want to see what kind of person my sister died because of."
