Just when Gu Li was about to fly away without hesitation, a figure flew down from the tree canopy where she was, and then quickly fled in one direction.
The man in the hat caught up with him within three meters almost in the next moment. Gu Li watched the two of them leave one after another, and disappeared from her sight after a few leaps.
"Don't worry, Yue Qi won't be caught." A voice sounded from the top of Gu Li's head. Gu Li almost fell down. Unexpectedly, there was someone above him.
Gu Li looked up, and an elegant and handsome figure appeared in his sight. A familiar throbbing spread from the bottom of his heart. Gu Li turned around and was about to run away, but heard a voice from behind: "You care about Gu Lun? Me I can help you."
Gu Li turned around. Under the sun, the girl's face was even more beautiful. She bowed to Yun Yi seriously, her voice was calm but distant: "If Senior Brother Yun really wants to help me, I hope Senior Brother Yun can stay away from me. Thank you. !”
Yun Yi just stood under the huge sycamore tree, the smile slowly disappeared from his face, the sun shone through the gaps in the leaves, and the mottled tree shadows covered his body, just like his mood at this time, The light fades away, eventually returning to darkness.
Gu Li's heart felt a little blocked. For some reason, after saying those words, a sense of loss surged into her heart. She attributed this feeling to the established emotion of the female protagonist matching the male protagonist in the book's plot, and suppressed it.
If she wants to change her life, she must first change the emotions controlled by the plot.
Gu Li stopped in front of a gatehouse. There were four words written on the gatehouse: Geng Ji Pawnshop.
Although Gengji Pawnshop is a pawnshop, it is decorated like a teahouse. Its owner is Geng Shiren, the richest man in Qianjing. Geng Shiren originally made his fortune by opening a pawnshop. This pawnshop is the first pawnshop opened by Geng Shiren. When he has nothing to do, he just Will stay at the pawn shop.
Because only precious treasures are accepted here. If they are not treasures, they will not be accepted. And as long as you take action, you will be killed, so those who have precious treasures at home will not come here unless they are at the end of their rope, and they will not come here as a last resort. This has led to the neglect of Geng Ji's pawnshop.
Geng Shiren's family had tens of millions of dollars, so he didn't care about making a living, just treating it as a daily pastime.
Gu Li touched her pocket, thought for a moment, and walked in.
She was dressed in lotus green fine linen clothes, and the lavender color made her noble and elegant. Although she did not look rich, her air of demeanor showed that she was very human.
The pawn shop man came up to him and greeted with a smile: "Does the customer have something to pawn?"
"Yes, I want to pawn something." Gu Li nodded slightly and walked into the pawn shop. There were high shelves on both sides of the pawn shop. There were many treasures on the shelves, and they all seemed to be valuable. On both sides of the shelf, there were strong guards standing.
"Can the items that the customer wants to pawn be inspected first?" the young man said politely with a shrewd and clever look on his face and a smile on his face.
Gu Li shook his head slightly: "This treasure of mine is different from the rubbish on the shelves on both sides. It is priceless. Only your boss is qualified to see it, and I will only show it to him."
"This... this is against the rules..." The young man looked up at Gu Li and wanted to shake his head to refuse, but he saw the girl standing there, her dark eyes looking at him, with majesty in her eyes as if she was a superior. With just one look, she let the young man Like falling into an ice cellar, I can no longer say any words of rejection.
"Who wants to see me?" A majestic voice came from behind, and Geng Shiren walked out with leisurely steps. He looked a little haggard, but within a few days, Gu Li felt as if he had aged ten years.
Gu Li nodded: "I have a treasure here, which is priceless. I want to make Master Geng have eyes. If this deal is completed, I guarantee that Master Geng will make a lot of money."
"Oh, hehe, little girl, you may not know me, but I don't take small money seriously." Geng Shiren looked at Gu Li's young age and felt that she was talking big words, but he was not disgusted with it, "However, I am curious about you. The treasure is here, show it to me."
Gu Li shook his head: "I can only show it to you."
Geng Shiren saw Gu Li's eyes gradually becoming solemn. He had seen countless people, and such a calm girl was rare. He immediately smiled and said: "It seems that this little girl has indeed brought a treasure. In this case, come upstairs with me to talk. "
After saying that, he motioned to the waiter not to follow him and led Gu Li upstairs.
Geng Shiren took Gu Li to the backyard, passing through the small courtyard that was still bustling in the long autumn. At the end of the gravel road was a two-story attic. The attic only had two floors, but it was built very high, with a light gauze curtain on it. , with sandalwood columns as pillars and extremely beautifully repaired.
Rich people just know how to enjoy it.
The two walked to the innermost room on the second floor of the attic, which was a tea room, and waved away the maid making tea. "I don't know the girl's name yet." Geng Shiren personally poured a cup of tea for Gu Li and handed it to Gu Li.
Gu Li took it in her hand and gently stroked the warm jade-like porcelain, but did not drink it: "My surname is Gu."
"It turns out to be Miss Gu." Geng Shiren said with a smile, "I wonder what Miss Gu wants to be?"
Gu Li calmly took out a piece of clothing from his arms and handed it over.
Geng Shiren took over the clothes, his expression changed suddenly, the smile on his face immediately turned into anger, and he stood up from his seat with a loud sound.
He looked at Gu Li, instinctively wanting to get angry, but when he met Gu Li's gaze, he was slightly stunned.
The girl is not very old, but there is a bit of coldness in her watery eyes. Although she is looking at you calmly like this, it makes you feel like you are being stared at by some wild beast. Even in his Geng Shiren territory, the other party is... There was no fear at all, which made him dare not act rashly.
The guards outside the door seemed to have seen their master so rude for the first time, and were about to rush in, but saw Geng Shiren waving his hands to them, indicating that it was okay.
The piece of clothing that Gu Li handed to Geng Shiren was cut off that night. Even if the person who put the sack on him that day was not the girl in front of him, she could not be separated from it. And he sincerely felt that it was this girl who did it.
"Miss Gu, if you have any instructions, I'm all ears." Geng Shiren suppressed the anger in his heart and remained gentle on his face.
"Master Geng is so kind." Gu Li clapped his hands with an expression on his face that said, "I know your affairs very well." He almost made Geng Shiren angry and ran away again. However, Gu Li naturally knew how to give up when things are good, "Today Of course I am here to do business. You know that there will be a competition between Longmen Martial Arts School and Taihe Martial Arts School in three days."
Gu Li's words did not arouse much interest in Geng Shiren. He just nodded lightly and said perfunctorily: "I heard something."
"Now all the major gambling houses in the city are setting up handicaps to bet on the outcome of the two parties. I wonder if Mr. Geng is interested in taking a gamble?" Gu Li lowered his head and smelled the tea in his hand and praised, "The best Junshan Silver Needle , good tea!”
