But today the Gu Family targeted him, and Pei Wei not only lost money, but some of his actions also indeed made him seem suspicious.
Uncle Si’s full of joy turned into a bubble.
"Uncle Si, I’ve already called the police, and they are looking for this piece of raw stone. Once I find out who did this, I’ll skin them alive!" Gu Xiaozhan said, his face turning frighteningly cold towards the end.
Uncle Si patted his shoulder: "Things have come to this, we can only wait for the police’s report."
Gu Xiaozhan and Mu Anhan walked in hand in hand, and when they sat at the dining table, they saw a wide array of delicacies.
"Xiaozhan, it’s really surprising that you’re an expert in stone gambling!" Uncle Si raised his wine glass, "You and An Han, have a toast together!"
"Han Han has a sensitive stomach, she can’t drink alcohol." Gu Xiaozhan immediately said, "I’ll have a drink with Uncle Si instead."
After the two drank together, Gu Xiaozhan then said: "In terms of stone gambling, I’m indeed not skilled, it’s just luck."
"All good fortune is the accumulated effort of one’s lifetime," Uncle Si looked at him.
Gu Xiaozhan smiled and nodded in agreement.
"An Han is the granddaughter of Miao Yuanhang?" Uncle Si looked at her.
"Uncle Si, that’s my grandfather." Mu Anhan nodded.
"He and I were good brothers." Uncle Si laughed, "Is he in good health?"
"Grandfather is in good health, but he’s fully retired and no longer involved in worldly affairs," Mu Anhan said, "Logically, I should call you Grandpa Si, but since I’m with Xiaozhan, I call you Uncle Si..."
"Hahaha..." Uncle Si burst into laughter, and the atmosphere instantly became lively, "Your young people can call however they like!"
As everyone was happily chatting and drinking, Gu Xiaozhan received a call from Lie Huo.
"Okay, I understand. Please inform the police!"
After hanging up, Uncle Si and Mu Anhan both looked at him.
"Lie Huo said they chased several suspicious people, but by the time they caught up, the raw stone was gone, and those suspicious people were also dead." Gu Xiaozhan’s expression was somewhat grim, "He said it was the most active gang in Yun City, Qingshi Hall, that acted."
"Qingshi Hall?" Uncle Si frowned, "Could someone have commissioned them?"
"That possibility can’t be ruled out," Gu Xiaozhan nodded, "What’s the reputation of this Qingshi Hall in Yun City?"
"Normally, they are quite law-abiding, with no major issues," Uncle Si said, "Why would they dare this time..."
Gu Xiaozhan looked at the silent Mu Anhan: "We might have to stay here a few more days this time."
"No problem, when I go back to the Imperial City, it’s boring anyway," Mu Anhan said, "Xiaozhan, if you have things to do, just go ahead and do them!"
"Mm." Gu Xiaozhan nodded, then said to Uncle Si: "Uncle Si, we’re heading off now!"
"Alright, stay safe, and if you need Uncle Si, just say the word." Uncle Si personally saw them off.
Once in the car, Gu Xiaozhan rubbed his temples.
"Is it uncomfortable after drinking?"
Mu Anhan took off her shoes, climbed onto the seat, kneeling sideways beside him, and gently massaged him with her hands.
"Does this feel a bit better?"
She asked as she continued to massage him.
"Han Han, much better," Gu Xiaozhan replied, "I’ll take you to the Southern Military District in a while."
