Chapter 45 Dirty Things: A Nest of Snakes and Rats
"you shut up!"
Shen Zhuo jumped up from the sofa with a whoosh.
"You were following me? What did you photograph? I'm warning you, if you dare publish it, I'll make sure you suffer a terrible fate!"
Seeing his ashen face, Wu Zhao sneered, "You're the one who'll die a horrible death."
"I told you, I'm going to buy myself a good coffin as soon as possible."
After saying that, she looked at Huo Tingchen and said, "Let's go, there's nothing left to stay here."
I thought I would meet with Shen Jiaojiao alone. With other people around, she probably wouldn't reveal those things.
Huo Tingchen knew he was just a tool, so he obediently nodded: "Okay, let's go back now."
"Stop!" Shen Zhuo stepped forward to grab Wu Zhao. "Hand over what you photographed!"
Unexpectedly, Wu Zhaowei turned slightly to the side and kicked him directly in the stomach.
"Ah—" Caught off guard, Shen Zhuo was kicked back several steps and crashed into the table where the vase was placed.
The expensive vase fell to the ground with a thud and shattered into pieces.
"Watch out!" Huo Tingchen exclaimed in surprise, reaching out to stop the flying shards of the vase, which grazed his arm.
The little paper figure hidden in his arms quietly peeked out, its short, round hands twitching.
"Overestimating yourself." Watching Madam Shen scream and lunge at her son, Wu Zhao said coldly. "I didn't film anything; I only saw your future."
This family rose to prominence because of the fortune that Shen Jiaojiao plundered, and naturally, they will also decline because of Shen Jiaojiao!
She looked up at Shen Jiaojiao, who was standing at the top of the stairs with a hint of disdain, and silently said: "White bones."
Shen Jiaojiao: !
Her face turned deathly pale, but she forced herself not to move, her lips twitching slightly.
However, Shen Jiaojiao's actions have already revealed a lot.
Wu Zhao tugged at Huo Tingchen: "Let's go."
Madam Shen was still cursing behind her in a shrill voice: "Shen Zhaozhao, you damned thing, you'll get your comeuppance!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Zhao, who was walking expressionlessly behind Huo Tingchen, curled her lips into a mocking smile.
retribution?
Shen Zhaozhao will not face retribution; she is kind and wonderful. She will have a beautiful new life and loving family and partners.
But she, Wu Zhao, is the retribution for the Shen family, their nightmare!
……
Gu Family Villa.
When Wu Zhao and Huo Tingchen returned, they saw the people who had come to see Gu Chen in the living room.
The man, dressed in a crisp military uniform, stood tall, the black, fitted uniform making him appear exceptionally dashing.
Although his face was expressionless, his imposing manner inexplicably diminished when facing Gu Chen, who was sitting down.
Wu Zhao slowed his pace, looking at the murderous aura and golden merit swirling around him with some surprise.
"Old Gu, what brings you here?" Huo Tingchen was somewhat surprised to see the person standing in the living room.
Gu Jiaxi looked toward the source of the sound, and her expression turned slightly cold when she saw Wu Zhao beside him.
Wu Zhao, however, couldn't help but chuckle when he saw his face clearly.
This orientation...this Red Phoenix Star, it's quite interesting. Wu Zhao thought to himself.
“Mr. Huo, I’d like to talk to you privately about Jia Ping.” Gu Jiaxi ignored Wu Zhao and walked up to Huo Tingchen.
Huo Tingchen glanced at Gu Chen first, and only nodded when he saw that Gu Chen did not object: "Okay, go upstairs to my study."
After the two went upstairs one after the other, Wu Zhao walked up to Gu Chen and asked, "Is this the Gu family's heir in the military?"
“Yes, Gu Jiaxi, the captain of the Imperial Capital Special Operations Team,” Gu Chen replied. He looked at Wu Zhao and said, “I saw you smiling at him just now, was it because?”
His hand, which was resting on the armrest of his wheelchair, moved slightly.
Wu Zhao laughed and said mysteriously, "He and I have a bit of a connection, it's quite interesting."
She was thinking about Gu Jiaxi's face and his auspicious marriage, and didn't notice Gu Chen's somewhat dim eyes and the gradually tightening corners of his mouth.
"By the way, I found something interesting when I went to the Shen family just now," Wu Zhao suddenly said. "Shen Jiaojiao's methods of seizing fortune seem to have weakened quite a bit, and the fortunes of the Shen family members affected by her have all declined to varying degrees."
"That Shen Zhuo, the second young master of the Shen family, will probably be on the trending headlines soon."
On the way back, Wu Zhao specifically asked Huo Tingchen to give her some extra knowledge about the entertainment industry, which broadened the horizons of the Divine Witch Ancestor.
"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked, secretly observing Wu Zhao's expression.
He secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he realized she didn't seem to have any other intentions.
Gu Chen wondered whether her lack of understanding was a good thing or a bad thing... He thought helplessly.
"Well... he just messed around with some men and women. A supposedly upright and honorable movie star actually enjoys participating in group activities." Wu Zhao thought for a moment and slightly embellished his words.
Gu Chen's expression immediately turned cold.
When he was expressionless, he had a kind of intimidating power that was hard to look directly at, which made Wu Zhao feel a little uncomfortable.
I couldn't help but feel a little guilty.
"What exactly did Huo Tingchen tell you?" Gu Chen asked.
Wu Zhao coughed and honestly said, "It's nothing, it's just that they explained some of the more popular languages to me."
"...can't you?"
Raising his hand to press against his brow, Gu Chen said, "It's nothing, it's my problem."
Wu Zhao: ?
Why does this person seem so strange? Even the purple aura emanating from him looks incredibly aggrieved.
There was a sound of hurried footsteps outside the house.
Wu Xingyun rushed in.
"My ancestor, the Divine Shaman, I never imagined you were a hidden millionaire!" he exclaimed excitedly.
Seeing his excited expression, Wu Zhao asked, "What rich woman?"
“I checked and found out that your grandmother, who went to the countryside, was the young lady of an antique shop!” Wu Xingyun took a deep breath and spoke slowly. “Because your grandmother’s father was robbed and killed on his way to collect antiques, and because she was afraid of being coveted and because she was a woman, your grandmother closed the antique shop and hid everything inside.”
Thinking about the information he had seen, he couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, "Your grandmother had planned very well to leave all this to you. So she specifically entrusted an old friend who was close to her father to transfer all of this treasure."
“That jade gourd was a token of love that your grandmother’s father gave to her mother, and it is also the only token to exchange for this batch of valuables.”
Sure enough.
Wu Zhao understood.
"So, have you found out who that old friend is?"
Wu Xingyun looked somewhat regretful. He said, "We found out, but this old friend... passed away even earlier than your grandmother."
"However, he does have descendants; his grandson inherited his antique shop."
At this point, Wu Xingyun's expression suddenly turned slightly awkward.
He touched his nose and continued, "...but this person is a bit flamboyant. He likes to livestream himself collecting antiques and such. He's quite a popular internet celebrity now."
"It's...that's..."
"He really likes Shen Jiaojiao and has confessed his feelings to her in his live streams more than once. Knowing that Shen Jiaojiao was going to participate in a survival show, he was afraid that his goddess would be wronged, so he bribed the director to get a spot for himself."
Wu Xingyun sighed: "He's going to follow in the footsteps of the goddess and protect her. He hung up on me and told me to go somewhere cool and stay there!"
Oh?
Wu Zhao twirled the ring on his finger with a hint of amusement.
What a coincidence that Mom opened the door for another coincidence, what a coincidence...
I'm home.
