Chapter 1723 - 1722: I Want to Move In With You

After dinner, Yun Luo, being naturally sociable, helped Gu Qiaoqiao tidy up the kitchen. Gu Qiaoqiao looked at Yun Luo and started a conversation, "I thought you were a pampered young lady who never lifted a finger."

"There’s no such thing as a pampered young lady who never lifts a finger. Whatever needs to be done, I have to do it."

"Is your studying quite stressful now?" Gu Qiaoqiao pondered for a moment and asked.

Yun Luo furrowed her brows, "It’s alright. I don’t want to go far for college. Sky Sea City will do, so it’s not that stressful."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment. There are several universities in Sky Sea City that are quite good and even ranked nationally.

After tidying up, Yun Luo went to the door of the western wing room.

The western wing room was already cleaned up, but no one lived there. She didn’t push the door open but looked inside several times before skipping over to Gu Junbai, who was sitting under the grape trellis drinking tea.

Yun Luo couldn’t understand why Gu Junbai loved drinking tea so much.

Seeing Yun Luo arrive, he poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her, raising an eyebrow without saying a word.

Yun Luo knew his temperament well and got straight to the point, "Junbai, I want to move into your home for a while."

Gu Junbai was taken aback upon hearing this.

He hadn’t expected Yun Luo to make such a request.

Raising his eyelids slightly and furrowing his brows, he pondered for a moment and then asked, "Haven’t you always lived at your Granddad’s place?"

"I want to move out."

"Isn’t it inappropriate?"

Yun Luo glared, placing the teacup heavily on the table, her tone unfriendly, "We’ve been friends for many years, and you can’t even grant me this request. What’s inappropriate? Tell me."

Gu Junbai responded calmly, "You’re still preparing for the college entrance exams. It’s quite a distance from here to your school, that’s one thing. Secondly, your Granddad doesn’t know about our relationship, and moving into a strange man’s home so suddenly, he definitely wouldn’t agree."

"Unless you give him a reason that he can’t oppose." Gu Junbai added.

Yun Luo looked deflatedly at Junbai but had to admit that he was right.

Those five bastards have been discharged from the hospital.

They have erased their memories about her and Gu Junbai, as well as those about the sea.

When she acted, she showed no mercy.

She didn’t tidy up their memories.

So they now appear somewhat neurologically disturbed.

To put it bluntly, they’re even crazier than before.

Now that she’s living at her Granddad’s, she really doesn’t want to see them anymore. The familial affection she once longed for before waking up is now irrelevant, though some things still need closure for her own sake.

Seeing Yun Luo silent, Gu Junbai thought for a moment and continued, "In a while, Qiaoqiao and the others will return to the Imperial Capital. It’ll just be me and Ling Nan left here, so it won’t be convenient for you."

"Forget it, I was just saying it casually. Don’t take it to heart."

Yun Luo waved her hand listlessly.

"What do you plan to do to bring closure to this matter?" Gu Junbai shifted the topic.

This is what he’s concerned about right now.

"Start by investigating, of course." Yun Luo said, her eyes reflecting a hint of hatred, thinking of how the world was most kind to her because of her Granddad and grandma.

"I won’t let grandma’s death remain unexplained; those who harmed her will face justice."

"Given your current status, it’s not suitable for you to do this. If there’s anything I can do, just let me know." Gu Junbai said candidly.

"Don’t worry, if I need your help, I’ll definitely ask." Yun Luo assured.

Gu Qiaoqiao brought over a plate of sliced watermelon and, seeing the two talking earnestly, wanted to step back, thinking that perhaps it wasn’t appropriate for her to listen in.

Seeing Qiaoqiao about to leave, Gu Junbai suddenly spoke, "Qiaoqiao, don’t go yet."

"Uncle, what’s up?"

"Yun Luo, tell Qiaoqiao what you know about your Great Grandma’s situation. She has a friend at the police station specializing in criminal investigation—a very skilled one. Since we live in this world, we must abide by the law of the world."

Gu Qiaoqiao glanced at Yun Luo.

No wonder her demeanor seemed off at times; she had something going on. After Yun Luo shared what she knew, Gu Qiaoqiao felt angry but wasn’t surprised.

In this world, there are good people and bad ones; heartless, evil people are also everywhere. She has encountered plenty of them in past and present lives.

So, there’s nothing shocking about it.

Gu Qiaoqiao nodded, "How about this, if you’re free, I’ll arrange for Big Brother Su and Sister Xiao Shuang to meet you."

"But I don’t have any concrete evidence now."

"Precisely because you lack concrete evidence, you need suggestions from professionals; otherwise, you won’t know where to start." Gu Qiaoqiao advised.

"Then this evening, I’m free tonight. Tomorrow, there’s school and exams again."

Gu Qiaoqiao thought for a moment, "I’ll call Big Brother Su and see if he has time; if he does, we can arrange it for tonight."

Gu Qiaoqiao called Su Changan; it was his office number and, surprisingly, Su Changan answered. Confirming he had no plans for the evening, they set the time.

Originally, Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize planned to go to the seaside in the afternoon, but since there’s dinner with Su Changan planned for the night, they changed their plans. There was still plenty of time for seaside activities.

That evening, they met, though Gu Junbai and Ling Nan weren’t there.

Su Changan knew Yun Luo’s Granddad and grandma; the Yun Family’s matriarch died suddenly of heart disease. It wasn’t filed for investigation at the time, as the diagnosis was indeed a natural cause, handling it internally within the Yun Family.

But unexpectedly, there might be underlying facts, as Yun Family’s grandma was a charitable person with her own foundation, often donating money and items, helping children from impoverished mountain areas, and supporting financially challenged college students, doing many good deeds.

Good people shouldn’t meet such an end.

Seeing Su Changan’s expression, Yun Luo realized that sometimes relying solely on oneself doesn’t work; it leads to many detours.

Fortunately, because of Junbai, she knew many friends—maybe it was meant to be.

Now that the matter is handed to Captain Su, Gu Qiaoqiao felt relieved.

Besides, Yun Luo isn’t one to be underestimated.

This matter is still confidential without the Yun Family’s head knowing, as the old man’s temper isn’t great.

If he were to find out, losing his sanity might alert the enemy.

Moreover, this won’t drag on for too long.

She is well aware of Captain Su’s abilities.
