Married to Officer, Pregnant Specialist becomes the Winner!-Chapter 152 - 151: The Letter and the Prey

"This is..." Gu Yunzhou frowned, deep in thought.

Wen Zhqing brought this package back from the county town. Inside, apart from those two forbidden books, was this medicine package.

The books are meant to deal with his father and the Gu Family, so this medicine...

Gu Yunzhou cautiously opened the medicine package and quickly saw the powder-like substance inside.

Gu Yunzhou didn’t understand medicine or herbs, nor did he know what this powder was.

However...

He pulled out a handkerchief, carefully poured some of the powder from the package onto it, and then painstakingly restored the powder and books to their original state and put them back in their place.

Once the handkerchief was tucked away in his pocket, Gu Yunzhou didn’t dare to linger longer. Just as quietly as he came, he jumped out through the window and adjusted it back to its original state, with just a tiny crack.

Outside, Wen Zhqing and Bao Shanyan remained completely unaware.

On this side, Gu Yunzhou silently returned home.

At this moment, the Gu Family’s living room was brightly lit. During the day, upon returning from the county town, Gu Yunzhou had recounted following Wen Zhqing, everything Wen Zhqing did, and the call he made to Gu Jia Ning, including Jia Ning’s plan.

Tonight, because Gu Yunzhou had previously mentioned going to the Bao Family to investigate what was inside that package that Wen Zhqing brought out, the whole Gu Family, minus Zhuangzhuang who’s only a few months old, even Yang Manman, with her big belly, had gotten up in the middle of the night to wait with her husband.

After all, one of Wen Zhqing’s targets was her indeed.

Yang Manman was fearless, but she had a child; she was a mother.

This child was one she had long anticipated and finally conceived with great difficulty, so she must protect him.

With Gu Yunzhou’s return, the Gu Family members perked up, their eyes fixed on him.

"Old Third, how did it go?" Yao Chunhua asked in a low voice, immediately pouring a cup of warm water for him.

Gu Yunzhou took it and drank it all at once.

Once seated, he promptly relayed everything he saw in Wen Zhqing’s room after opening the package.

"Those forbidden books are definitely intended to frame father," Gu Yunting affirmed. "Apparently, Wen Zhqing has harbored resentment for quite a while about father being the village chief."

"Then what should we do?" Yang Manman and Su Miao, two women, felt a bit lost upon hearing this.

"Don’t worry," Old Gu reassured them in a deep voice, squinting slightly, "If Wen Zhqing indeed dares to act, we’ll give it right back to him."

The three brothers exchanged glances, sure enough, their father’s thoughts aligned with theirs.

No wonder he could become the village chief.

Immediately, Gu Yunzhou took out the handkerchief, spread out the powder on it, and shared his suspicions.

When Yang Manman heard that the powder in the handkerchief might be targeted at her and the baby in her belly, she was immediately startled.

Gu Yunting held his wife’s hand to comfort her, but still looked grimly at the powder on the handkerchief.

"We need to find out what the powder is. I have a friend who knows about herbs; I’ll take it to him tomorrow," said Gu Yunting as he carefully folded the handkerchief.

"Alright, let’s do that," Old Gu nodded, then instructed Gu Yunzhou, "Old Third, keep following Wen Zhqing; we all need to be more cautious."

"Yes, dad, we know."

Since it was getting late and everyone had to go to work the next day, after the discussion ended, they each returned to their rooms to sleep.

The next morning, Gu Yunting deliberately got up early to visit his friend before heading to work. 𝕗𝗿𝕖𝐞𝐰𝗲𝕓𝐧𝕠𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝐨𝚖

Meanwhile, Gu Yunzhou, after disguising himself, spent a penny to find a stranger on the street to take a letter to Liu Ruzhi.

While Liu Ruzhi was at work in his office, he suddenly heard that someone was looking for him.

When he saw the person come in, he found it was an unfamiliar old woman.

The old woman said that someone had asked her to give him a letter. While speaking, she handed the letter to Liu Ruzhi.

Liu Ruzhi frowned. What was this about?

Could it be some kind of anonymous letter? It seemed so mysterious.

Out of curiosity, Liu Ruzhi immediately opened it, and upon seeing the contents, his eyes widened in disbelief.

"No, impossible, Yuanyuan would never do such a thing!"

But soon, Liu Ruzhi recalled his daughter’s recent odd behavior.

Could it be that what’s written in this letter is true?

Liu Ruzhi immediately inquired the old lady who delivered the letter about who sent her.

But the old lady couldn’t provide any clear information, and the letter mentioned that the sender happened to know about this incident by chance and felt that Liu Ruzhi was a good county chief. Thus, out of concern that his daughter was being deceived, sent this letter to notify him.

Whether he believed it or not, he could go home and ask his daughter.

Immediately, Liu Ruzhi could no longer sit still and hurried to where his wife worked at the women’s federation.

In his wife’s office, he showed her the letter.

Du Juan was also shocked after reading it.

"Yuanyuan’s recent odd behavior, we are aware, maybe, perhaps..."

"Tonight, we should ask Yuanyuan when we get home; if it’s not true, that’s good. But if it is, then..."

"We need to expose that educated youth’s true colors; we can’t let Yuanyuan be deceived by him."

"Old Liu, you know, Yuanyuan has been protected too well by us, she’s too innocent and easily deceived, but she’s a good child."

"If this is true, it’s that educated youth who deceived our Yuanyuan, and we will not let him get away with it."

"Yes, I know."

Thinking of that educated youth named Wen Zhqing, a fierce look flashed in Liu Ruzhi’s eyes. How dare he entice his precious daughter!

"I’m going to investigate this person’s background now."

-

At noon, the table was set with food, but the Gu Family didn’t have the appetite to eat.

Gu Yunzhou was the first to speak, "In the morning, when our whole family wasn’t at home, Wen Zhqing did sneak into our house and put those two books into dad’s bedside drawer."

"But after he left, I already took them out. I will find an opportunity to return them to Wen Zhqing’s room." Fight fire with fire.

Gu Yunzhou already had a plan in mind.

Since Wen Zhqing put two forbidden books into their house, he definitely wouldn’t just leave them there; trouble would surely ensue.

At that moment, they can redirect the matter back to Wen Zhqing.

Everyone nodded, then all eyes turned to Gu Yunting.

Knowing everyone’s expectations, Gu Yunting said solemnly, "The powder on that handkerchief, I took it to my friend to have a look."

"It’s a powder that can excite and frenzy animals. If someone gets it on themselves, the animals will go crazy and see that person as prey!"

As soon as Gu Yunting finished speaking, the Gu Family’s faces all darkened.

Yang Manman, in particular, turned ghostly pale.

They wouldn’t forget that Wen Zhqing had two targets, one being Old Gu, using the forbidden books against him, and this powder was undoubtedly aimed at Yang Manman.
