93 Chapter 93 Report (2)
“So that peach garden on the other side of the river belongs to the Qiao family and not the Liu family?” Gu Chengrui asked in shock.
After Qian Zhuang and Gu Erjiang looked at each other, they both looked at him in surprise. However, when they remembered he had just returned from the capital and rarely went out, they understood his surprise.
Gu Erjiang replied, “It’s right to say it belongs to the Liu family. Miss Qiao’s mother’s last name is Liu. That manor is her mother’s dowry. ”
“I see.” Gu Chengrui nodded thoughtfully.
Then, Miss Liu, whom he had seen before, was most likely Miss Qiao. Thinking of this, his eyes flickered.
“Did you find anything else?” he asked.
“There’s also the matter of people eyeing the braised intestine recipe you mentioned. The Qiao family is just one of them.
“There’s also the Yuelai Inn, and their people have also inquired about it.”
Gu Chengrui quipped, “By the way, do you know what’s going on with the Qiao family? Why does no one take action when they are being so ridiculous?”
“You’ve asked the right person.
“About a month ago, we met the Qiao’s butler son, Qiao Yuan, in the casino.
“At that time, he was drunk and told us that the Qiao family had become rich and someone was protecting them. This time, the tables have turned, and it’s the Gu family’s turn to suffer.”
“Oh, did he say who it was?”
“No, he just made a slip of the tongue. He refused to say it when I asked him later.
However, I heard that the Qiao family sent generous gifts to the county mayor, and the mayor’s wife has someone above her.”
“The wife of the county mayor?”
“Yes, the wife of the mayor. I heard that even the mayor has to listen to her.”
“Is there any more?”
“We have limited time, so…” Qian Zhuang said with an awkward smile.
“Alright, you can continue to ask around.
“In addition, pay attention to any major movements of the Qiao family and remember to let me know in time.” After Gu Chengrui finished speaking, he got up and went to the west room to take out a string of money and give it to them. “Go to places like tea houses and taverns where there are many more people gossiping. Listen more and ask less. Safety first.”
“Don’t worry, we two brothers will definitely get this done for you.” Qian Zhuang immediately smiled and put away the money.
At this time, Zhou Ying also came in with two big bowls of noodles and handed them to them. “Do eat up.”
“Ah, ah, thank you, thank you.” The two of them nodded and took the food, then began to eat it.
Gu Chengrui told Zhou Ying the news he got from them after they left. “Babe, I’m afraid I’ve encountered a honey trap this time. You must protect me. ”
“Go on.” Zhou Ying glared at him, then said thoughtfully, “Elder Qiao can’t wait to destroy the Gu family, so do you think he will let his daughter marry you? Isn’t he afraid of inviting a wolf into his house?”
Gu Chengrui laughed after hearing that. He raised his head and flicked her nose. “Smart. We’ve thought of the same thing, but we can make good use of this. It might give us a chance to catch our breath. Anyhow, we’ll make our move after we find out who’s behind the Qiao family.”
“Then you will be the honey trap.”
“If I have to use the honey trap, it should be on you. She’s not worthy.”
“Be careful not to fall into her trap instead,” Zhou Ying said, rolling her eyes.
Afterwards, she took the two bowls to the kitchen to wash them.
Seeing this, Gu Chengrui smiled. For the sake of a peaceful life in the future, he had to be wary of Miss Qiao.
The following day, just as Hongyun Restaurant had finished collecting their goods, Widow Hua’s daughter, Chunhong, came to their house and said, “Doctor Gu, Miss Liu asked me to bring you a message. She said that her ointment has been used up, and she wants you to go to the manor for a follow-up examination today.”
