Chapter 2756: Chapter 2760: Too Tragic

"This whole thing sounds like a setup, a scheme devised by Liang Huaijin’s uncle to seize Liang Huaijin’s family fortune."

"Liang Huaijin definitely didn’t kill anyone. Even if he did, it was his uncle who forced his hand."

"Anyway, I sent Xiao Gu Qi to Liang Huaijin’s hometown to investigate. The woman Liang Huaijin mentioned, the one he supposedly stabbed in the chest, is actually still alive and well."

"So, Liang Huaijin never killed anyone. What he saw was a scene manipulated by his uncle and cousin."

"Impressive, my Fifth Master!" Ye Xingbei widened her eyes in admiration, "How did you find that woman?"

"It was quite simple," Gu Junzhu enjoyed the admiration and praise from Ye Xingbei. He pulled her into his arms, pinched her shoulder lightly, and said calmly, "I asked Liang Huaijin to describe the appearance of the woman he thought he killed and had someone sketch a portrait."

"The first time Liang Huaijin ’killed’, the woman’s face appeared repeatedly in his nightmares, and he remembered it vividly. The sketch was remarkably accurate."

"Once Xiao Gu Qi’s people arrived in the county, they easily found the woman."

"That woman is a distant relative of Liang Huaijin’s aunt. Her family was impoverished, owning nothing."

"Soon after Liang Huaijin left that county, this woman suddenly moved to the city, found a good job, bought a house, and started living in the city."

Gu Junzhu glanced at Ye Xingbei with a smile, "See, isn’t it obvious?"

"Yes, it’s very obvious," Ye Xingbei nodded, "I had guessed it! The woman collaborated with Liang Huaijin’s uncle in the act. Liang Huaijin’s uncle deceived him, gained his assets, and rewarded the woman. That’s how she became wealthy and bought a house in the city."

"Exactly!" Gu Junzhu smirked, looking down at her, "So you see, isn’t it pitiful to be naive? Having done nothing and yet losing all his fortune to his enemy, living anonymously and wandering like a stray dog, isn’t it tragic?"

"So tragic!" Ye Xingbei agreed with a nod, "Thankfully, his sister still cares for him and hasn’t given up on him. Otherwise, living like that for a lifetime would be truly unjust."

"Yeah," Gu Junzhu chuckled, "This deal was worth it. Just finding Liang Huaijin took some effort, everything else was easy."

"Liang Woyu is a good seedling, no less than Lou Ning. Cultivate well, and we’ll have two cash cows instead of one—it’s a win for us."

"Hmm, it’s great!" Ye Xingbei yawned, snuggled closer into his arms, and wrapped one arm around him, closing her eyes, "I’m sleepy."

"Sleep if you’re sleepy," Gu Junzhu kissed her on the head, "Good night, darling."

"Hmm," Ye Xingbei smiled sweetly with her eyes closed, hugging him tighter, "Good night... love you!"

"Good girl!" Gu Junzhu chuckled softly and kissed her again, his eyes full of gentle affection almost overflowing.

A night of sweet dreams.

The next day, after breakfast, Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei sent the four children to school and then went to Gu Junzhu’s company.

Gu Junzhu arranged to meet someone at Ye Xingbei’s studio.

He accompanied Ye Xingbei to the studio.
