"No, I don't need to explain things I haven't done."
"Miss Shi, if you still come to me about this matter next time, I hope you can bring evidence. This will be good for both of us."
After saying that, Gu Jiu bypassed Shi Yuyan and planned to do his own work. As soon as he picked up a book, Shi Yuyan's voice sounded from behind.
"Do you have a letter from Mr. Lu to A Qi? I'm going to find him later. Give me the letter and I'll take it back for him."
Sure enough I asked.
"no."
"This letter was written by Mr. Lu specifically to prove my innocence. This is the only one I have."
"For safety reasons, I can't give it to you, otherwise I won't be able to explain my cousin's injustice."
Shi Yuyan was stunned.
Gu Zheqi mentioned something to her at that time. She thought it was Gu Jiu who withheld the letter out of anger, but unexpectedly it was about this matter.
Mr. Lu Qiuzhi is highly respected and has never lied in his life. If there is his proof, then Gu Jiu is most likely innocent.
Thinking of this, Shi Yuyan didn't stay any longer, agreed and left.
Looking at Shi Yuyan's background, Gu Jiu could already imagine Gu Zheqi's reaction when he heard these words.
Coupled with the push from Hongxiang Pavilion, Gu Zheqi would have to find a way to steal the letter by tomorrow night at the latest.
When he went to bed at night, Gu Jiu deliberately put the letter in a place that was not obvious but not difficult to find.
"This place shouldn't be hard to find... I'm not so stupid that I can't find it."
Gu Jiu looked at the letter hidden in his pocket and thought for a moment that he wouldn't be so stupid.
Alas, it was really not easy for her. In order to prevent Gu Zheqi from being stupid enough to find a house again, she went back to sleep in the previous house.
That night.
There was a scraping sound of shredded cloth, and as soon as the door was gently pushed open, Gu Jiu opened his eyes.
She was already a very light sleeper, and because she had something on her mind, she guessed that when Gu Zheqi came back tonight, she would sleep even more lightly.
Turning sideways, closing most of his eyelids leaving only a small slit, he quietly observed every move of the person coming.
Judging from the noise, there should be two people there. Gu Zheqi was responsible for stealing things inside the house, and there was a sentry outside the door.
Looking at the people rummaging through boxes and cabinets in front of him, Gu Jiu suddenly felt one head and two heads.
Why would he think I would put it in the closet? If that's the case, I might as well put it in the bookstore, or even hide it directly in the waiter's room!
Gu Zheqi searched for more than half an hour, and even gently moved Gu Jiu's pillow!
"Haven't you found it yet?"
Gu Wensheng's weak voice floated in along with the faint creak of the door opening.
Gu Zheqi shook his head.
"Dad, do you think she dug a hole in the room and hid something in it?"
Gu Jiu:......
With the sound of tiptoe tapping, Gu Wensheng also walked in.
"How can she be so smart? Have you found the clothes?"
"Who would be stupid enough to put such an important thing in clothes?"
"Gu Jiu is not smart to begin with!"
Gu Jiu:......
"Look, isn't this what it is?"
Gu Wensheng fumbled around in the coat that Gu Jiu had changed into and felt the touch of paper.
Seeing the letter, Gu Zheqi was a little unbelievable: "How could she be so stupid? She even put it in her coat pocket!"
Gu Jiu:......
After the two got the letter, they turned around and were about to leave. Gu Jiu quickly took out the dagger hidden in his coat and stabbed Gu Zheqi.
The two of them were already very close to Gu Jiu, and because of the sudden incident, Gu Zheqi's shoulder was directly opened with a bloody gash.
"ah!"
Hearing the noise, Gu Wensheng immediately turned around, saw the shining silver dagger, and subconsciously pushed Gu Zheqi away.
"Who are you?"
As Gu Jiu let go of his voice and yelled, the restless sound of seven or eight people quickly going upstairs was heard from downstairs.
The two looked at each other and immediately chose to jump out of the window to escape. However, Gu Zheqi unfortunately scratched his arm again by Gu Jiu while jumping out of the window.
The sound of going upstairs was intentional. When Gu Zheqi and Gu Zheqi jumped out of the window to escape, the people arranged by the madam chased them out.
The route that had been arranged long ago forced Gu Zheqi and the two of them to have only one way to escape. Soon, the two of them were forced back to their previous house.
"Dad, what should we do now? Will they find out here?"
Gu Zheqi asked while changing his clothes.
"Won't!"
Gu Wensheng stuck out half of his head and looked at the dark alley. When he saw that nothing was going on, he immediately closed the door.
"Zheqi, don't forget that we can no longer move here. This place has been sold to someone else. The group of people outside chasing us around here naturally thought that we lived here."
"Right now, as long as they leave here quietly without them noticing, no one will think that we did it!"
After hearing this, Gu Zheqi's panic calmed down a little. He was really scared to death just now. He never imagined that there would be so many people chasing him.
He promised that this was the first time in his life that he had run so fast!
"hiss."
After I relaxed, the pain from the wound came back.
"Dad, is there any medicine here?" Gu Zheqi asked, covering his arm.
"Wait, dad will look for it for you."
The two of them received a considerable amount of money from Shi Yuyan. After receiving the money, the two of them immediately found a new residence.
And their previous house was sold by someone else. The house sold quickly and was bought within two days.
As for why they still have the key to this house, it is purely due to selfishness.
After quietly entering the main room, Gu Wensheng was surprised to find that there was no one on the bed. He was confused and cautiously entered other rooms.
"Dad, why are you going to the kitchen? No matter how stupid the old man is, he can't put the medicine in the kitchen!"
Yes, it was an elderly man who bought Gu Zheqi's house, and he was also the original owner of this small courtyard.
Gu Wensheng came out of the kitchen and said puzzledly: "All the supplies in the house are there, but the old man is missing."
"He can't be dead," Gu Zheqi replied nonchalantly, took a bottle of Jinchuang Medicine from Gu Wensheng's hand and poured it all onto his wound.
"Dad, don't tell me that this medicine is so effective. The wound doesn't hurt as soon as you put it on it."
"There are only three bottles in total. I brought them all for you. You can use them sparingly."
"What's the point? It doesn't cost us any money."
After treating the wound, Gu Zheqi went directly into the main room and lay down on the bed unceremoniously.
"Zheqi, get up quickly, let's leave here right now! Dad always feels that something is wrong. The old man is so old and has no children. It can be said that he spent all his life savings to buy this small courtyard. Now he is in the middle of the night. How could you not be at home!"
Gu Wensheng walked in with a serious look on his face. Gu Zheqi waved his hand indifferently.
"Dad, that old man is older than my grandpa. He may be buried in the ground now that he's gone. Come on, dad, just don't worry! That old man is very stupid. This house should have belonged to him in the first place. , but we were intercepted halfway."
Gu Zheqi seemed to have thought of something funny. He sat up from the bed and said funny: "You said he was beaten up by me, but he didn't recognize me when he bought a house! And he thanked me, you said How blind is he?"
Hearing this, Gu Wensheng was shocked.
"Did you beat him? When did it happen? Why didn't I know?"
The more Gu Wensheng thought about it, the worse it became. Regardless of what Gu Zheqi said, he just pulled him out of bed and walked out.
"Oh daddy!"
"Shut up!"
Gu Wensheng turned his head and scolded, opened the door, stuck his head out and then immediately retracted it.
"Dad, what's wrong?"
"Stop talking. Someone is coming this way. I'm afraid they are chasing us. If you are injured, hide quickly!"
Hearing this, the careless look on Gu Zheqi's face disappeared immediately, and he hurriedly ran into the house.
Gu Wensheng closed the door and leaned nervously on the door. Listening to the footsteps getting closer and closer, Gu Wensheng couldn't help but start praying, hoping that the other party was just passing by.
Unexpectedly, the sound stopped in front of their door!
Gu Wensheng carefully lay on the ground and looked out of the small gap of only about one centimeter.
The clouds were erratic, and the already faint moonlight seemed even dimmer.
After Gu Wensheng lay on the ground for more than ten minutes, the clouds dispersed again, and four feet gradually appeared outside the door.
The toes were still facing Gu Wensheng.
Seeing the two pairs of feet facing them, Gu Wensheng gasped in shock.
As if being shocked by Gu Wensheng, the owner of one of the feet suddenly had the intention to squat down. Seeing one of the legs bend backwards, Gu Zheqi quickly rolled to the side to avoid being seen.
Lying on the ground, Gu Wensheng covered his mouth tightly.
Who is he? Why do you have to point your toes towards someone else's house in the middle of the night when you have nothing to do?
