Moreover, this Xiao Bai possesses an innate closeness and reverence towards her, thinking of taking a few items, Xiao Bai wouldnāt mind,
However, a gentleman loves wealth, but acquires it justly. Gu Qiaoqiao wouldnāt do such a lowly thing.
Without hesitation, she lifted her leg and walked towards where the wall had just opened, then stood before it. Gu Qiaoqiao didnāt know the switch here, but if she fumbled for a while she might find it. However, with Xiao Bai here, Gu Qiaoqiao didnāt want to exert such effort.
Xiao Bai stood in front of the wall, turned around, gazing back, inside the luminous pearl continued to emit its brilliant light.
This luminous pearl had been accompanying it and its owner for many years, going wherever they went.
However, the gems and gold in this room were acquired within the past year, some antiques the owner liked were kept in the storage bag.
When thereās a permanent residence, they would be taken out, because the space in Dongfang Yuās storage bag isnāt large, it also needs to hold some emergency items.
Xiao Baiās pair of purple eyes swirled, then it turned its body, its little claws rubbed the side of the wall for a while, and then the wall door opened.
Gu Qiaoqiao placed this jade pendant inside her shoulder bag, then followed Xiao Bai out of this secret chamber.
Afterwards, the wall behind them creaked shut again, even with serious inspection, it was seamless, without a crack.
When Gu Qiaoqiao left this secret chamber, a sudden inexplicable thought arose in her heart, followed by an eagerness.
She glanced around the house, found no abnormalities, it was also very quiet. Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment, then drew talismans in the air, plastering the drawn barrier talismans on the doors, windows, and walls, isolating the few hundreds of square meters of the apartment again.
In this year, Gu Qiaoqiao believed many issues could be resolved.
And the matters here require Dongfang Yu to personally conclude them.
However, the premise is that Dongfang Yu is still alive.
Gu Qiaoqiao slightly shook her head, dismissing this thought from her mind, pressing her shoulder bag, the suddenly rising thought became more urgent, so she briskly walked towards the door.
Xiao Bai followed afterwards.
This time Xiao Bai was very quiet, without any thoughts of exchanging, just like usual, following Gu Qiaoqiao.
And because Gu Qiaoqiao allowed it to follow, its mood became cheerful.
At this time, Xiao Baiās thoughts were simple, in this world, survival of the fittest, everything follows fate, if the owner is destined to face this tribulation, thereās no escaping it.
However, despite this, it would find a way to meet its owner once, and this thought could only be realized by staying by Gu Qiaoqiaoās side.
Thus Xiao Baiās steps also became light.
Gu Qiaoqiao walked out of this apartment complex, stood at the entrance, looked at the lush green trees and flowers within the community, then looked around at the crowds, and felt relieved when she found that the spiritual energyās influence on everyone was positive.
This place had already become one of the rare spots within the city with abundant natural spiritual energy.
Subsequently, Gu Qiaoqiao hugged Xiao Bai and returned to Gu Garden.
By this time, it was already past four in the afternoon.
It was the first time Chu Chengfeng and Shang Qing visited Gu Garden as guests, warmly hosted by Lian Yuhong, and at this time Gu Muran also returned with Gu Zishu.
The usually serene Gu Garden suddenly became bustling.
Originally planning to play cards together, but considering that Gu Zishu and Gu Qianqian were both students, Chu Chengfeng gave up on this idea.
Actually, he was more inclined to be with Xiao Wen.
But for some reason, even though Xiao Wen was clearly approachable and cheerful, every time he was with her, he felt particularly nervous.
Though his heart was full of words, there were many many things he wished to say, he couldnāt utter a single word, which made Chu Chengfeng very frustrated and feel quite unworthy.
Yet even so, being with Xiao Wen, talking and chatting was still quite enjoyable.
The phone in the hall rang, Gu Qianqian happened to be sitting next to the phone, picked it up, and after listening to a few words, looked at Chu Chengfeng in astonishment, raising her voice, "Big Brother Chu, itās Big Brother Du calling you."
In her heart, she also wondered, how did this Big Brother Du Tian know Chu Chengfeng was at our home?
Chu Chengfeng also found it strange, hurriedly walked to the phone and took it, and then he heard Du Tianās slightly reproachful voice from the other end, "You fellow, Iāve been looking for you all afternoon, and you actually went to Gu Garden."
Chu Chengfeng immediately recounted his itinerary for the day, then asked in surprise, "Old Du, how did you know I was in Gu Garden?"
"I didnāt know, I just asked casually."
"Then is there something you wanted?" Chu Chengfeng asked.
"Of course there is, why would I look for you if there wasnāt?" After Du Tian retorted a few times, he began talking with Chu Chengfeng...
Listening to Du Tian, a sudden light appeared in Chu Chengfengās eyes, he nodded eagerly and promised, "Donāt worry, I will definitely handle this matter well, Iām right here, Iāll discuss it with Sister-in-law when she returns."
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Capitalās Imperial Treasure Chest...
He Shan had been here for quite a while. By coincidence, the Old Patriarch visited the Imperial Treasure Chest today, and Gu Qingfeng brought He Shan to the guest room.
The Old Patriarch hadnāt seen Old Thief He for many years; they were neither friends nor foes back then, just an ordinary relationship.
But after all these years, both old bones were still alive, and somehow, there was a sense of affection, leading to a kind approach towards He Shan.
After learning that Old Thief He was in good health, Gu Qingfeng nodded and said, "Yes, as one ages, good health is the most important."
He Shan smiled and said, "Indeed, the Old Patriarchās health is also so good, this is blessed fortune."
Gu Qingfeng nodded noncommittally.
He knew this fortune was brought by Gu Qiaoqiao, because before this, he had almost died.
However, of course, he couldnāt share these things with He Shan.
After exchanging some other words, they got back to the main topic.
Just as He Shan was about to speak, Gu Qingfeng waved his hand unexpectedly, speaking slowly, "I know what you want to do, but before this, I want to ask you something?"
He Shanās eyes flickered, but she maintained her smiling demeanor, "Old Patriarch, please go ahead."
Gu Qingfengās eyes deepened, unexpectedly, He Shan was as cunning as her grandfather, clearly knowing what he was going to ask, yet pretending to be clueless.
Even though Qiaoqiao had said beforehand that He Shan might not divulge Chang Jianhuaās whereabouts, the Old Patriarch still wanted to try.
Gu Qingfeng slowly opened his mouth, "He Shan, I heard you are helping Chang Jiansheng open a shop?"
