Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries Chapter 56: The Mysterious Child

"Investigate! Who died in this room?!" Gu Xiao gritted his teeth, his gaze dark.

Soone actually died mysteriously in their Gu Family! This is truly an unprecedentedly strange occurrence!

"No need to investigate," a gentle voice ca from behind, and Gu Zhi, with a pale face in white pajamas, walked out of the servant room next door.

"The people living here were so outsiders I took in a few days ago," Gu Zhi lowered her gaze, hiding her emotions, "It’s my fault for causing trouble for my brother!"

Gu Xiao stared at Gu Zhi, his eyes seed to want to see right through her.

"Taking in outsiders?" Gu Xiao’s voice carried a hint of coldness, "Who do you think you are? What status do you hold? Since when do you get to make decisions for the Gu Family!"

Thankfully, these outsiders didn’t bring a disaster to the Gu Family, or else he wouldn’t know how to face Fu Jingtian!

"How can you talk to your sister like that!" Gu Family Head, Gu Heng, approached, looking at Gu Xiao with disapproval, "No matter what, Gu Zhi is your sister!"

Gu Xiao ridiculed with a smile, "Sister? Do you believe that?"

Who knows what about Gu Xiao’s words provoked Gu Heng, he raised his hand and slapped Gu Xiao’s face, "Ungrateful son! How dare you speak to like that!"

Gu Xiao tasted the blood from the slap, yet instead of shrinking back, he laughed more recklessly, "How could I not dare? My good father!"

Gu Xiao’s deanor was truly terrifying. Gu Heng raised his hand again but didn’t slap down.

"The person you’re looking for is dead already. Can you leave now?" Gu Xiao turned to Fu Jingtian, Lu Zechuan, and Xia Mian.

Just like a wounded hedgehog, eager to curl up alone and heal.

Fu Jingtian didn’t expect things to turn out like this either. After a mont of silence, he reluctantly said, "We’re leaving now!"

The three of them left the Gu Family. Gu Zhi stood on the steps of the servant room, her gaze gloomily on Xia Mian’s back, her hand unconsciously lifted to caress the golden gourd at her chest.

"Zhi Zhi, you should go back to sleep! It’s so late, coming out dressed like that, catching a cold wouldn’t be good." Gu Heng’s gaze turned fervent as he looked at Gu Zhi.

Gu Zhi instinctively covered her chest with her hand, lowered her head, "I’ll go back now!"

Gu Zhi turned and fled hurriedly.

Gu Xiao watched everything coldly, feeling inexplicably irritable inside.

***

Fu Jingtian drove down the winding mountain road, Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian sat in the backseat. Neither spoke, each carrying heavy thoughts.

"The person who died in the Gu Family’s servant room was a magician," Xia Mian spoke up voluntarily, "Previously, I had cast a spell on him. I guess he was trying to break the spell, and thus used evil techniques to summon pure boys and girls, hoping to extend his life."

"Hm." Fu Jingtian replied absentmindedly, "Why did he die precisely as we arrived?"

"To kill and silence," Lu Zechuan’s slim lips moved slightly, uttering four words.

Xia Mian didn’t speak. Initially, she thought Dai Ying was targeting her alone.

Now she realized, there might be soone behind Dai Ying, and that soone might be targeting the people of the four prominent families.

"Let give you a ride back!" Fu Jingtian didn’t dwell much on this matter, but after dropping Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan at the Lu Family, he left Xia Mian his contact information, "If you need anything, I’ll serve wholeheartedly!"

Tonight, Xia Mian saved both his child and his father one after another. Towards Xia Mian, he was sincerely grateful.

Xia Mian noted down Fu Jingtian’s contact information, then got off the car with Lu Zechuan.

They left yesterday and when they returned, it was already dawn today.

After resting well, when they appeared again in the Lu Family hall, they saw the little child brought back by Uncle Sun yesterday.

The little girl was not shy, playing quite freely in the unfamiliar place.

The Lu Family hadn’t seen such a young child in years. Suddenly seeing such a young, adorable little one, everyone was quite fond of her.

Especially Mrs. Lu, who played with the child for a long ti after she was brought ho last night, making the child feel close.

"Ah Chuan, Grandma hasn’t seen you all night, and you’ve even brought ho a child?" Mrs. Lu playfully teased while ng ng sat on her knee.

Lu Zechuan kept a stern face, "Grandma!"

As a man, he could take such jokes, but Xia Mian being a girl, might feel shy and upset...

Mrs. Lu laughed seeing Lu Zechuan hurriedly defending Xia Mian, "Alright! Grandma won’t say it anymore!"

"Where did this little one co from? Have you let soone investigate?" Although Mrs. Lu liked ng ng, since the child wasn’t from the Lu Family, leaving her would eventually be troubleso.

"Zeming has already been sent to investigate." Lu Zechuan replied, "Probably in the vicinity of the Gu Family."

Otherwise, such a young child couldn’t have wandered far at night.

"Hm, it’s appropriate to have Zeming handle this matter." Mrs. Lu nodded.

Lu Zeming serves the people, so naturally, he must serve them.

"You two should eat sothing! I’ve had Sister-in-law Zhang keep it warm for you!" Mrs. Lu smiled, sending the two to eat.

They returned at dawn and slept late. The Lu Family’s breakfast ti was long over.

Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian responded and went to the dining room.

Just as they entered the dining room, Lu Zeming ca in.

Lu Zeming first poured himself a glass of water, drinking as he looked at ng ng, "Little one, whose family do you belong to? We searched all night and couldn’t find your family."

Normally, if a family lost a child, they’d be frantic searching and report it imdiately, but up till now, no missing child report had co in.

ng ng sat on Mrs. Lu’s lap, happily eating a lollipop, taking it out and offering it to Mrs. Lu, "Grandma eat!"

Mrs. Lu laughed and shook her head, "Grandma can’t eat, bad teeth!"

ng ng seed to understand, nodded, tilted her head, blinking her big bright eyes at Lu Zeming, raising her tender hand to offer him, "Uncle, you eat!"

Faced with the adorable little one, so white and tender, Lu Zeming felt his heart lt, "Grandma, if we can’t find her family, may I raise her?"

Mrs. Lu gave him a sidelong glance, "You haven’t even gotten married and are eager to raise a child! You have quite the nerve!"

Lu Zeming wasn’t upset, "Children are different from won. Seeing a child makes happy, seeing won makes nervous. A ready-made child to raise is absolutely delightful!"
