Chapter 1107: Gu Qiaoqiao Talks Back

If you want revenge, then simply come at the Gu Family directly.

Including Peach Blossom Valley in your schemes, what’s that all about?

Gu Qiaoqiao stepped forward and calmly asked, "Elder, how come I never knew that our Gu Family had an irreconcilable enemy?"

"And who are you?" Old Master Fang asked unkindly.

"I’m a member of the Gu Family." Gu Qiaoqiao replied with a smile.

"Which part of the Gu Family are you from? How come I don’t recognize you?"

"That’s laughable. Do you think you know everyone in the Gu Family?" Gu Qiaoqiao mocked.

"Of course I do. Even if you turn to ashes, I would recognize you."

Old Master Fang said viciously.

Gu Qiaoqiao gave him a disdainful look, "You sure talk big. If you can recognize anyone turned to ashes, then why don’t you know who I am?"

"You..." The old man paused, seeming to realize something, and angrily asked, "What’s Gu Muran to you?"

"That’s my cousin bro."

"Your surname is Gu?" Old Master Fang was taken aback.

"Yes, my surname is Gu. I don’t change my name while walking or sitting. My name is Gu Qiaoqiao. My great-grandfather is the old master of the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest, and also a member of the Gu Family you keep mentioning."

Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest?

Old Master Fang was shocked. He didn’t expect this young girl to be from the Imperial Capital’s Imperial Treasure Chest. Since when did the two rival branches of the Gu Family come together? He was a bit confused.

Gu Qiaoqiao continued, "Old Sir, I don’t know what deep hatred you harbor against the Gu Family, but as far as I know, my cousin didn’t offend you, did he? Peach Blossom Valley didn’t offend you, did it?"

The old man was stumped.

Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t wait for him to rebut and continued with a mocking tone.

"Are you doing this for revenge, or to fulfill some unspeakable desire of yours? You should know better than anyone. Don’t pretend to be righteous. Let’s be blunt here. This is a Chinese Herbal Medicine Store. Peach Blossom Valley is full of herbs, but it’s not a place you can go freely. Coincidentally, my cousin happened to walk into your trap."

Gu Qiaoqiao shifted her tone, "However, it could also be a trap you set deliberately. Unfortunately, he doesn’t know you. If he did, he’d turn right around. For your age, you’re really despicable. So, how are you any better than the person you keep accusing?"

When Gu Qiaoqiao was confronting someone, she never gave them a chance to interject.

Her voice was clear and pleasant, making it delightful to hear.

"You’re spouting nonsense!" Old Master Fang yelled in frustration.

Gu Qiaoqiao calmly replied, "Judging by your expression, it looks like I hit the mark."

The young man beside the old man saw his face changing with anger and pointed at Gu Qiaoqiao, "Shut up, you brat!"

"Who are you calling a brat?" Gu Qiaoqiao raised her voice.

"You, of course!" The young man retorted unwillingly.

"Shut your mouth." Gu Qiaoqiao was a bit annoyed. This young man was no good either. Gu Qiaoqiao casually picked up a small teacup from the coffee table and tossed it at him.

The young man saw Gu Qiaoqiao’s action; he intended to dodge, but for some reason, to him, she only just picked up the teacup, and he didn’t even see her raise her arm, yet the teacup was already flying straight at him.

The small teacup was just the right size to cover his mouth.

And the force was perfectly measured.

So precise that it caused Old Master Fang’s heart to skip a beat.

Old Master Fang couldn’t help but look at Gu Qiaoqiao with scrutiny, wondering if she was the young girl Ning Wanru had mentioned.

But Ning Wanru was already dead, and Gu Cheng’s branch was thoroughly defeated, yet the hatred in his heart persisted. Whenever he thought about his son’s legs, he gritted his teeth at the Gu Family in Jinling City.

Thus, today’s plan of using a borrowed knife to kill.

Unexpectedly, it had failed.

Since he had the means to deal with the Gu Family, he had never failed so miserably. The Gu Family was on the brink due to his schemes. It was about to achieve his aim, but suddenly an unwelcomed guest appeared.

Is it possible that the Gu Family of Jinling City and the Gu Family in the Imperial Capital are going to reconnect?

If that’s the case, the future situation won’t favor him.

Old Master Fang frowned deeply, his face gloomy, calculating in his mind.

Meanwhile, the young man angrily took the teacup away from his mouth and smashed it on the ground, his face flushed, pointing at Gu Qiaoqiao, "You’ve got some nerve, how dare you hit me?"

Gu Qiaoqiao picked up another teacup and sneered, "Try insulting me again."

The young man gritted his teeth, but really didn’t insult her again; this damn girl was too strange.

How could her movements be so fast and also so precise?

It made him somewhat fearful.

Yet he still glared at Gu Qiaoqiao indignantly.

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at him.

What kind of person is this? So petty!

Gu Qiaoqiao had no good impression of this grandfather and grandson duo. Although Gu Muran’s father committed a crime, since he wasn’t sentenced to death, it means he didn’t deserve to die. Seeing how Gu Muran looked, it was evident he had suffered a lot of retaliation from this Fang family.

Otherwise, he wouldn’t so readily mention Fang Liang’s name.

But it seemed like this was the first time he’d seen Old Master Fang.

However, these matters couldn’t be addressed for now. Seeing the young man no longer spoke or acted arrogant, Gu Qiaoqiao snorted and stood beside the Old Clan Leader.

Old Master Fang hurriedly signaled to the young man not to act impulsively.

He lightly coughed and said, "Let today’s matter end here. Since nothing happened anyway, let’s just let it pass."

"Sir, you’re speaking too lightly. You haven’t answered me yet, what exactly is your grudge against Peach Blossom Valley? I am the village chief and clan leader of Peach Blossom Valley, I have the right to know, or we could discuss this at the police station." The Old Clan Leader spoke indifferently.

"Don’t try to pressure me with your clan leader title. What evidence do you have that I said those words? Just because a little brat talked nonsense? Who would believe it? Who will prove it?" Old Master Fang seemed a bit furious.

"I will prove it."

A deep voice sounded at the door, and then the door was pushed open. A tall figure stood at the entrance, dressed in a public security uniform, solemn-looking, with piercing eyes, about in his thirties. Upon hearing the voice, Gu Qiaoqiao immediately knew who it was, but she didn’t go up to greet Brother Zhang, she just smiled and nodded, and he nodded back at her.
