Chapter 1041: Nie Luan (2)

Moreover, it was evident that Nie Luan came well-prepared today.

He had appeared a few days ago, seemingly as harmless as the boy-next-door, so he didn’t take it to heart.

He didn’t expect, however, that this young man was adept at pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger.

Dongfang Yu’s fingers moved slightly.

Just as he was about to take action, those black boxes opened simultaneously, and beams of red light surrounded him like a fishing net.

It caught him completely off guard.

Leaving him utterly defenseless.

A few breaths later, his body collapsed softly.

Nie Luan waved his hand, and a few men in black swiftly lifted Dongfang Yu and disappeared through a small door at the staircase corner.

And all of this, Gu Qiaoqiao was unaware of.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao was by the bedside, looking at Shang Qing.

She was the only person in the ward now.

Of course, the Shang Family wouldn’t just leave Shang Qing unattended. Even if Dongfang Yu was around, it would be the same. But Shang Qing’s mother was resting in the room next door, having lost a lot of weight over the past week.

When Gu Qiaoqiao came in just now, she greeted her. They weren’t very familiar, but they had met a few times. However, Shang Qing’s mother knew that this was Gu Family’s successor, Gu Qiaoqiao, who was also her daughter’s good friend.

The matter of Gu Qiaoqiao’s disappearance couldn’t be fully disclosed to outsiders, but there had to be some explanation for those in the know, half-true and half-false.

In order to prevent ordinary people from knowing about the Mystic Sect’s existence, the explanation given was that Dongfang Yu had taken Shang Qing out to find an Orchid for her grandfather.

Later, Gu Qiaoqiao discovered Shang Qing was missing and went to find her. Then Gu Qiaoqiao got lost and went missing, while Shang Qing accidentally fell off a cliff.

And then they were rescued by Dongfang Yu and Chu Chengfeng.

This was the general story.

Though it was a bit frustrating.

However, Gu Qiaoqiao had no objections, as her uncanny enmity with Dongfang Yu must not be known to these people.

It was just a normal disappearance.

So when Shang Qing’s mother saw Gu Qiaoqiao, she felt very guilty, asked many questions, and then let Gu Qiaoqiao into the ward.

As for Dongfang Yu accompanying Shang Qing in the ward, the Shang Family was pleased with this situation.

At this moment, Gu Qiaoqiao gritted her teeth, really wanting to tear off Dongfang Yu’s facade and tell the Shang Family how Shang Qing was used by him.

But to unveil Dongfang Yu’s true face, she would have to discuss her own enmity with him and the Mystic Sect.

And there truly were many unspoken secrets here.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at the ward door, thought for a moment, and walked over to close it.

Forget it, let things remain as they are for now.

Dongfang Yu had already promised her that as soon as Shang Qing woke up, he would leave the Imperial Capital forever.

As long as Dongfang Yu left, everything would be over.

Moreover, Gu Qiaoqiao also knew in her heart that the handsome young man earlier was not someone to be taken lightly.

He was a smiling tiger.

Despite Dongfang Yu having lived for so many years, sometimes he might not match up in cunning and scheming.

So when this young man said he wanted to chat with him, it probably wasn’t going to be pleasant.

And Gu Qiaoqiao was happy to see this happen, believing Dongfang Yu deserved some punishment.

But at the moment, she didn’t know that Qin Yize and Nie Luan had already taken action.

Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head slightly, stopped thinking about Dongfang Yu, and quickly walked to Shang Qing’s bedside, reaching out to place her hand on Shang Qing’s forehead.
