Chapter 1047: He Had Set His Sights on Dongfang Yu for a Long Time

Could it really be a problem caused by the master himself?

But what should be done now?

The master has been taken away by that dangerous young man.

Originally, it was following Dongfang Yu, but it wasn’t very close to him.

It was in the corridor on the other side.

So, when those people took Dongfang Yu away, they didn’t see it, or maybe in their eyes it didn’t pose any threat.

So, they didn’t want to complicate matters and naturally let it go.

What should it do now?

With its ability, it couldn’t possibly rescue the master.

But that young man is Elder Nie’s grandson.

It should go find Elder Nie.

Thinking of this, Xiao Bai no longer hesitated and vanished from here like a wisp of white smoke.

In a hidden building in the Imperial Capital, surrounded by high-voltage electric fences, uniformed men stood guard at the entrance.

But from the uniforms, it couldn’t be seen where they belonged.

This was an old district, located in the southeast corner of the Imperial Capital.

Opposite it was the First Military District where Qin Yize was.

Nie Luan’s eyes shone with a hint of excitement as he looked at the quietly lying Dongfang Yu on the examination table, a slight smile playing at his lips.

He had been longing for Dongfang Yu for a long time.

Since knowing such a person existed.

But due to many reasons, he couldn’t make a move, not to mention, although he was Elder Nie’s grandson, he had no chance of winning against Dongfang Yu.

Fortunately, fate gave him this opportunity.

He was Elder Nie’s grandson, but he was also a biologist.

These two contradictory and opposing identities in one person felt somewhat discordant, yet harmonious.

Because he had a unique way of thinking.

He slowly walked towards the laboratory, then closed the door behind him.

And Dongfang Yu remained unconscious.

...

A week later, Uncle Gu returned, and Gu Qiaoqiao, who hadn’t seen him for a long time, bombarded him with questions.

This moved Uncle Gu greatly.

Then, with pride and joy, he took Gu Qiaoqiao to see the five truckloads of raw stone.

There might not be gemstones in all of them, but if there’s even ten percent, that’s enough.

Gu Qiaoqiao placed her hand on the raw stones, easily sensing the types inside.

Some had nothing, while others contained gemstones of varying quality.

Since the beginning of the year, stone gambling quietly became popular in the Imperial Capital.

Few people participated, but in certain circles, it was wildly popular.

Gu Qiaoqiao pondered whether she should also host one.

But it was just a thought.

Better to let it go.

The Gu Family still lacked people, with Great Grandfather and Uncle Gu both getting old.

Having only Zhang Yi is not enough.

Fortunately, Uncle Gu’s two sons are doing quite well.

They can now handle things independently.

But still, there are too few people.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked at the somewhat weary Uncle Gu and gently said, "Grandpa Gu, go back and rest, I’ll handle things here."

Previously, Uncle Gu might have declined, but this time he agreed straightforwardly.

Gu Qiaoqiao is the successor of the Gu Family, they’re getting old; even though they’re still in good health, they need to give Qiaoqiao a chance to gain experience.

He returned to Gu Garden with a smile.

And Gu Qiaoqiao began to command.

She managed these tasks without difficulty; she wasn’t really twenty years old.

So, before dark, she securely stored the gemstones in the underground of the Jade Carving Workshop.

After arranging for the Gu Family’s bodyguard to have a meal, Gu Qiaoqiao inspected all around thoroughly.

Then, she walked towards the front door of the Jade Carving Workshop.

Just happened to see a tall figure standing under the moonlight.

It was Qin Yize.

Gu Qiaoqiao joyfully ran towards Qin Yize.
