Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Why do I feel like you're not complimenting me?"
Seeing that the ointment had almost melted, Gu Ruobai withdrew his hand. "I'm complimenting you for finally learning to rely on others."
Su Mingyu frowned. Why did she feel like she had always been relying on Gu Ruobai?
Seeing her deep in thought, Gu Ruobai tapped her on the forehead. "What are you thinking about?"
Su Mingyu rubbed her forehead and sat down opposite him. "Do you think the King of Yu will get involved in this mess?"
Gu Ruobai lowered his eyes. "Su Yueyue doesn't want him to know at all."
"But..." Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "It's impossible for him not to know about this, right?"
This girl used to be so smart. Why was she being so silly today?
Gu Ruobai shook his head helplessly. "Just because he knows doesn't mean he'll help, does it?"
Su Mingyu bit her lower lip. If the King of Yu really didn't offer help after knowing, it meant he didn't like Su Yueyue that much?
Her eyes flashed. Suddenly, Su Mingyu curled her lips and squinted like a fox. "My dear younger sister, your dream of marrying into the royal family is about to shatter."
Seeing her like this, Gu Ruobai knew she must have some idea.
Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows and looked at her. "What are you going to do this time?"
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "I just want to meet my future brother - in - law."
Hearing this, Gu Ruobai immediately understood what she was going to do and refused without thinking. "No!"
Su Mingyu found it funny to see him so nervous. "I haven't even said anything yet."
Gu Ruobai's eyes turned cold. "I said no, and that's final!"
Under his deep gaze, Su Mingyu lost her temper and looked at him pitifully. "I just want to take a look. You don't really want to see Su Yueyue marry the King of Yu, do you?"
Gu Ruobai frowned. "I don't care who Su Yueyue marries."
Hello, your jealous king is online.
Su Mingyu covered her head and felt a headache. "Prince Ruixian, you're a 27 - year - old adult. You should know that not every man likes a girl like me..."
As she said this, Su Mingyu deliberately glanced at her underdeveloped body.
Gu Ruobai's gaze also followed hers around. The hot look almost made Su Mingyu bite her tongue.
After a long time, Gu Ruobai sighed helplessly. "I can help you send someone there, but you can't do it yourself."
Su Mingyu:???
Wasn't Gu Ruobai still playing the fool to catch the wise? Was it really a good idea to act so rashly?
Gu Ruobai saw through her thoughts at a glance. He tapped the table gently with his index finger. "I'll handle this myself. Remember, you can't act."
Seeing how serious he was, Su Mingyu finally nodded. "I know... Don't be so serious. You're making the atmosphere awkward."
This girl was actually turning the tables on him?
Gu Ruobai shook his head, half - laughing and half - crying. "Alright, I'll go back today. Don't act rashly regarding the King of Yu, you hear?"
Su Mingyu nodded obediently. "Okay, okay. I'm not a three - year - old kid."
Watching Mu Yi pushing Gu Ruobai's departing back, Su Mingyu pursed her lips, and a hint of a smile appeared at the corner of her eyes.
So this was what it felt like to be protected?
Thanks to Gu Ruobai's interference, Su Yueyue didn't dare to make another move against Su Mingyu. But every time she looked at Su Mingyu, she was filled with hatred.
Su Mingyu didn't bother to care about her. She took the time to go out of the city to check on Qin Chu's injury.
Gu Ruobai's medicine was really good. Despite such a serious injury, not only was there no disability, but in the end, there was only a scar about half an inch long.
As soon as Qin Chu saw Su Mingyu, he felt a chill down his back. This woman's actions were not only unpredictable.
She was also really ruthless when she wanted to be.
Seeing him so afraid of her, Su Mingyu threw a booklet at him. "Starting tomorrow, I want you to do as it says here."
Qin Chu glanced at the contents and his face instantly sank. "Miss Su... What kind of approach is this? I've never seen a killer organization set up its main base in the city."
Su Mingyu lowered her eyes. "Call me master."
Qin Chu responded and quickly changed his words. "Master, this will expose us."
Su Mingyu frowned and looked at him. "Don't you know how to disguise?"
Of course he knew how to disguise, but with so many of them, how could they disguise themselves without arousing suspicion?
Seeing his confused look, Su Mingyu helplessly supported her forehead. How did such a person become the leader of the organization?
Sighing, Su Mingyu said helplessly, "A pawnshop! People who go to pawnshops usually have stories, so it's a great place with its own popularity."
Reminded by her, Qin Chu suddenly said, "Oh, I'll send someone to handle this right away."
Su Mingyu nodded. "You first choose a location, and then I'll have someone bring you the blueprints."
"Do we need blueprints for a pawnshop?" Qin Chu really didn't understand.
What on earth was Su Mingyu up to?
Su Mingyu didn't even want to sigh anymore. It was a miracle that this man could keep the organization alive. "Keep this place as a secret base. But when you need to interrogate someone or detain someone, you can't always travel so far, right? Then why did I ask you to find a place in the city as a base?"
So that was it. Qin Chu suddenly seemed to understand. "So we need to use the space underground of the pawnshop, right?"
"Yes." Su Mingyu gave him a perfunctory smile. "Alright, hurry up and find a place. I'll go back first."
After seeing Su Mingyu off, Qin Chu looked at her thin back and suddenly felt that this woman was a bit extraordinary.
Maybe following her could really make his organization stronger?
After returning from "Wu Wang", Su Mingyu went to find Gu Ruobai.
But unfortunately, Gu Ruobai wasn't there. Bored after waiting for a long time, Su Mingyu dozed off in the pavilion in the tea garden.
When she opened her eyes again, she saw a silver - gray cloak on her body, and Gu Ruobai was sitting beside her reading a scroll.
The gentle breeze blew his hair, making him unexpectedly beautiful.
Su Mingyu rubbed her eyes. "When did you come back?"
Gu Ruobai poured her a cup of hot tea. "A while ago. Why did you come to find me?"
How did this man know she came to him for something before she even said a word?
Su Mingyu pursed her lips. "Um... Can I borrow the craftsman who helped you dig the basement?"
"What do you need my craftsman for?" Gu Ruobai frowned, but he quickly understood. "Is Qin Chu's injury better?"
Su Mingyu nodded. "Yes, so I'm going to move them into the city now."
Gu Ruobai raised his eyebrows in understanding. "I'm not saying I won't lend you the craftsman, but how are you going to transport so much soil out of the city? The officials from the Ministry of Works aren't stupid."
