Early the next morning, Gu Jiangyue went out with Xi Yun to find Gu Zhengwan. Gu Zhengwan only said that she wanted to see Xi Yun. Moreover, Gu Zhengwan didn't know that the owner of Huayan Tower was Gu Jiangyue. So Gu Jiangyue wore a black robe and followed behind Xi Yun. If anything happened to Xi Yun, Gu Jiangyue could help her.
Xi Yun stood deep in the alley. Her face was a bit tense as she paced back and forth. Gu Jiangyue was hiding in the dark, watching everything.
Xi Yun had packed the things she needed for today yesterday, a piece of paper recording the skin - changing technique and a jar of ointment.
Gu Jiangyue had comforted Xi Yun for a long time yesterday. As long as Xi Yun could make Gu Zhengwan believe her, most of their plan would be successful. Thinking of this, Xi Yun encouraged herself in her heart.
At this moment, a woman in a pink silk dress walked slowly towards Xi Yun. There were several guards with knives following behind her. When Xi Yun saw who it was, she found that it was Gu Zhengwan.
Gu Jiangyue had learned some martial arts from Ji Yunsheng. She hid well, and Gu Zhengwan didn't notice her. When Gu Jiangyue saw Gu Zhengwan clearly, she sneered in her heart. Gu Zhengwan didn't even wear a veil. She seemed very sure that as long as she controlled He Zhou, Xi Yun would obey her, so she was so arrogant.
Gu Zhengwan walked gracefully in front of Xi Yun. Xi Yun looked at Gu Zhengwan and unconsciously clenched her fists, but she still suppressed the fear in her heart. She still had to save He Zhou, and she must complete her task.
"I gave you a few extra days before. Now that so much time has passed, have you figured out how to treat me?"
Gu Zhengwan's tone was contemptuous. She held her head high, and her eyes looking at Xi Yun were full of disdain.
Xi Yun suppressed the tremor in her voice and said.
"I've found two ways. I don't know which one Miss Zhengwan needs."
When Gu Zhengwan heard that her leg could really be treated, she immediately became interested. Her eyes sparkled faintly, and she couldn't wait to say.
"Hurry up and tell me."
Xi Yun took out the pre - prepared medicine from her cuff, but before she could hand it to Gu Zhengwan, Gu Zhengwan snatched it away.
Gu Zhengwan looked at the ointment everywhere and then handed it to one of the guards behind her. The guard opened the ointment, sniffed it at the tip of his nose, and nodded to Gu Zhengwan. Only then did Gu Zhengwan take it back with confidence.
"This medicine can cure your leg, but..."
Xi Yun murmured and stopped halfway. Gu Zhengwan couldn't stand it like this and urged.
"But what? Hurry up and say it."
"But this medicine takes effect slowly. It will take at least six years."
The fine sweat on Xi Yun's forehead slowly slid down. The medicine was not poisonous, and Xi Yun didn't put any poison in it, but she did deceive Gu Zhengwan. This medicine could only relieve Gu Zhengwan's leg pain. No matter how much she used, it wouldn't work. Not to mention six years, even sixteen years might not see any effect.
When Gu Zhengwan heard the six - year time, her eyebrows wrinkled visibly, and her interest was not as high as before.
"What's the other way?"
Xi Yun saw that things were developing as Gu Jiangyue had expected. She really asked. A hint of joy flashed in Xi Yun's heart, but she still couldn't relax her vigilance.
Xi Yun took out the paper with the skin - changing technique written on it from her bosom. She pretended to hesitate and held the paper in her hand, not willing to give it to Gu Zhengwan.
"Forget it..."
Gu Zhengwan saw the paper in Xi Yun's hand at a glance. The more Xi Yun didn't want to give it to her, the more Gu Zhengwan thought it was a good method. Gu Zhengwan simply didn't let the guards do it. She stepped forward directly, grabbed Xi Yun's hand, and forcefully took the paper out of Xi Yun's hand.
Xi Yun was pushed to the ground by Gu Zhengwan. Gu Jiangyue felt a pang in her heart, and her hatred for Gu Zhengwan increased a lot.
After Xi Yun's performance, Gu Zhengwan thought that what was written on this paper was really something good. She quickly opened the paper and read it carefully.
After Gu Zhengwan finished reading the paper, Xi Yun's heart was in her throat. She saw Gu Zhengwan fold the paper, put it in her bosom, and then looked at Xi Yun.
There was a hint of joy in her eyes, and then some lofty disgust. She said disdainfully.
"This method is too vicious. I won't use it. And don't tell anyone about such a vicious method. If I find out, I will definitely kill you."
Hearing what Gu Zhengwan said, Gu Jiangyue sneered in her heart. Gu Zhengwan had really fallen into the trap.
Even though Gu Zhengwan had lost her former gentle and kind appearance in front of outsiders, she still couldn't disgrace the Gu family. Just because Gu Zhengwan told Xi Yun not to tell anyone else about the skin - changing technique, Gu Jiangyue knew that Gu Zhengwan was already tempted by this method.
Otherwise, Gu Zhengwan would never have said so much to Xi Yun. She was just afraid that after she used this method, Xi Yun would expose this matter.
"Okay... okay. Then where is my child?"
When mentioning He Zhou, Xi Yun's eyes turned red again. Gu Zhengwan was in a good mood. She looked at Xi Yun and said softly.
"West of the city."
After saying that, Gu Zhengwan turned around with a smile and was about to leave.
Seeing that Gu Zhengwan didn't tell her the detailed address, the tears that had originally filled Xi Yun's eyes now flowed down like a broken embankment.
"Where is he? Where on earth is he? Please tell me quickly!"
Xi Yun's eyes were red. She had just been pushed to the ground by Gu Zhengwan and hadn't had time to get up. The dust on the ground got all over her body. She wanted to get up, but her legs were weak.
"Hurry up, let's go."
Gu Zhengwan was too lazy to care about Xi Yun. She turned around and told the guards beside her to leave. She had already got what she wanted, and He Zhou's life or death had nothing to do with her.
Xi Yun wanted to reach out and grab Gu Zhengwan, but Gu Zhengwan walked away quickly.
After Gu Zhengwan walked far away, Xi Yun just sat there on the ground in a daze. Gu Jiangyue had been watching this scene. Because of her identity, she couldn't go out. Now that Gu Zhengwan had left, Gu Jiangyue quickly rushed to Xi Yun's side and hugged her tightly.
Gu Jiangyue gently patted Xi Yun's back, comforting her.
After all, Gu Zhengwan was just a young lady from a good family. How could she hide a living person without anyone knowing? Gu Jiangyue had already asked Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng to look for He Zhou.
In this new life, Gu Jiangyue would no longer believe Gu Zhengwan. Whether she told the location of He Zhou today or not, Gu Jiangyue would let Xie Jiuan and Ji Yunsheng look for him.
Gu Jiangyue trusted them very much. If it was Xi Yun, she might not be able to find He Zhou, but if it was Xie Jiuan, it would be different.
Just as Gu Jiangyue was still considering whether He Zhou was in the west city and whether this news should be passed on to Xie Jiuan, a voice rang out.
"Mom!"
