Chapter 1568 Whoever Has Driver Gou’s Spiritual Jade Pendant Is the Killer

With a treasure that can protect people, who would be willing to take it out and sell it?

Everyone looked at Ou Pengfei and Ou Zhen with eyes full of sympathy.

But immediately, everyone thought of the two Spiritual Jade Pendants the Gu Family had given to the drivers. The Gu Family was really generous, huh? A treasure like that, and they just casually gave it away?

Ask yourselves, who among them could afford to be that generous? So this means the Gu Family really is loaded; they don’t need to curry favor with the Ou Family.

Only then did Ou Pengfei raise his head and look at everyone. "The Gu Family isn’t just rich. In the mainland their status is very high. Mr. Gu is a military commander, and my cousin Gu Dongxing is only twenty-seven, yet he’s already a regimental commander. His future achievements will definitely surpass his father’s.

So the Gu Family has no need to flatter our Ou Family. On the contrary, by our Ou Family acknowledging this marriage, it will provide tremendous protection for our development in the mainland in the future."

All the Qu Family members fell silent.

What Ou Pengfei said was true. Given the Gu Family’s financial resources and power in the mainland, they really don’t need to cozy up to the Qu Family. In contrast, while the Ou Family wields considerable influence in Xiangjiang, in the mainland they genuinely do need to rely on the Gu Family.

Those who had previously looked down on the Gu Family, treating them like country bumpkins, all silently reset their view of the Gu Family in their hearts: So what if they are country bumpkins? They’ve got money and power, and they don’t need you. It’s you who needs them. What else can you say?

"Then why didn’t they go straight back to the Ou Family home and instead went to stay in a hotel? They’re not looking down on our Ou Family, are they?" Third Aunt Qu asked again.

"It’s not that she looks down on the Ou Family. It’s because, on Elder Aunt’s way back, there were two assassination attempts."

Ou Pengfei described the checkpoint incident Hai Xue encountered and the later incident with the sick patient and sick vehicle.

"With the safety pin of the car removed and the bolts on the lateral tie rod loosened, you can imagine what would happen. So Fu Miao’s car accident wasn’t an accident; it was inevitable. And the fact that Driver Gou immediately dragged me and Zhenzhen into his car the moment he arrived shows that he also knew there was something wrong with Fu Miao’s car.

There’s a conspiracy targeting Elder Aunt’s whole family. And that sick driver and that sick car were both arranged by our Ou Family. If we don’t get to the root cause of this, how would they dare come back to our Ou Family home?

So they checked into Banguo Hotel and even paid a half-month deposit in advance."

When they heard that the Gu Family had paid a half-month deposit, everyone once again confirmed that the Gu Family really was rich and not just putting on airs.

Ou Zhengren said, "At first I still wasn’t sure if Driver Fu Miao’s electric shock car accident was man-made. But just last night, the driver Fu who drove out to pick them up, and Driver Gou, were both silenced. Driver Fu’s Spiritual Jade Pendant broke while shielding him from one calamity—he didn’t die in the accident, yet he died at home.

This directly proves that someone truly intends to kill Big Sis!"

"It’s just that Pengfei said the Gu Family gave each of the two drivers a Spiritual Jade Pendant. Driver Fu’s pendant shielded him once and shattered, but Driver Gou’s Spiritual Jade Pendant was never used, because he never suffered an attack—instead he was poisoned by someone close to him. But last night, we didn’t find the Spiritual Jade Pendant on his body; it must have been taken by the killer.

We can suspect that whoever has this Spiritual Jade Pendant in their hands is very likely to be the killer."

When Ou Zhengren said this, he swept a glance over everyone and said, "To rule out the killer, and to avoid us turning on one another, today we start checking from our own people, and search for the Spiritual Jade Pendant!"

At the mention of searching for the Spiritual Jade Pendant, Old Lady Qu, who had kept her eyes closed all along, suddenly opened them and shot a look at Ou Pengfei.
