The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 563 - 527: The Person Behind

Lin Huai Shu and Qiao Lechu didn’t stay out long and soon returned to the Qiao Family.

After sitting for a while at the Qiao Family, Lin Huai Shu, Gu Yanjing, and Qiao Yuxian all left.

Qiao Yuxian had some matters to handle, so she didn’t stay the night.

Once they left, the four members of the Qiao Family looked at the pile of things in the living room.

"Where are we going to put all this stuff?" Qiao Zhiang asked.

"Put it in your piano room," Qiao Yu replied.

Qiao Zhiang looked at the pile of things, his eyes widening bit by bit.

Put it in his piano room.

Wouldn’t that mean his piano room would be completely filled?

Qiao Zhiang pouted and looked at Chen Hui.

Chen Hui didn’t even glance at him.

With great precision, she clamped his mouth shut with her hand, pressing his pout back in.

Qiao Zhiang pressed his lips together, sulking.

Qiao Yu looked at Qiao Lechu. After a few seconds, Chen Hui also looked at her.

Qiao Lechu was examining a list placed on top of the pile.

A very long list.

It was a red scroll.

The rest were rolled up, revealing only a part of it.

At the end were the signatures of Lin Zheng’an and Lin Wanlu.

Qiao Lechu didn’t see much else.

She noticed a gold mine on the list...

Thinking to herself: There really is a golden mountain.

As she was looking, she felt Qiao Yu and Chen Hui’s gaze and turned her head.

As soon as she turned, Chen Hui asked, "Are you together now?" 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

Qiao Lechu’s eyes fluttered for a moment, then she nodded, "Yeah."

Qiao Yu’s already gloomy face became even gloomier.

One after another, they all seemed to have designs on his daughters.

Birds of a feather, people band together!

Those of the Gu surname!

Those of the Lin surname!

"Have you thought it through?" Chen Hui asked again.

Qiao Lechu nodded again, "Mom, Lin Huai Shu is the brother from M Continent."

Chen Hui was taken aback, and after a few seconds, she said, "The brother from when you got lost?"

Qiao Lechu nodded once more.

"It’s him," Chen Hui confirmed.

"Yeah," Qiao Lechu replied.

"So you..." Chen Hui began.

"It’s partly because of childhood reasons, but I really do like him," Qiao Lechu seldom opened up to them, speaking earnestly, "Mom and Dad, I know you are worried about me. But I want to give it a try. If it doesn’t work out, I’ll accept it."

Qiao Yu and Chen Hui were indeed concerned.

Moreover, with all these things in the living room.

This showed the Lin family of three being exceptionally sincere.

Their tone and attitude were very earnest.

Otherwise, they would really think they wanted to buy his daughter with money.

But since Qiao Lechu had spoken, they held back their words.

"Yuxian just had a talk with us too," Chen Hui said, "Mentioned some things about Lin Huai Shu. This is your personal matter, you make the decision."

Qiao Lechu looked at Qiao Yu.

Qiao Yu said, "Alright. You make the decision. No matter the final outcome. Dad supports you. Dad’s here."

"Yeah," Qiao Lechu nodded, "I know."

"Then these things..." Chen Hui asked.

"Put them away for now," Qiao Lechu said, "If it doesn’t work out, we’ll have to return them."

"Okay," Qiao Yu said, "Put them in the storeroom at the back."

Qiao Zhiang finally felt happy.

"Alright." Chen Hui ruffled Qiao Zhiang’s little head, "Move them."

"Sure." Not having to move to the piano room made Little Zhiang happy.

But half an hour later, he wasn’t very happy.

There were so many things, enough to keep moving forever.

Suddenly, his impression of Lin Huai Shu wasn’t very good.

This guy!

Why didn’t he move the things to the storeroom before leaving!

He was exhausted!

...

Lin Huai Shu and the others left directly for Jingyu Garden.

Shang Chen had already returned to Jingyu Garden.

And was waiting for them.

Once at Jingyu Garden, the four went straight to the meeting room.

The Bai Family side had been briefed.

Bai Cong had been beaten and left with a breath, sent directly to the hospital.

Sent by the Gu Family.

The Gu Family were still guarding the hospital.

Bai Cong’s life lay in their hands.

Bai Zhongwu had confessed everything clearly.

Just as Qiao Lechu had described.

Bai Cong had set his sights on her early on.

He just never found the opportunity.

Today, he saw her at Jinsha Building again.

On a whim, he arranged for people to bind her and bring her home.

Bai Cong went home early to wait for her.

But apart from what Qiao Lechu knew.

There were things she didn’t know.

Someone was backing the Bai Family.

"Bai Zhongwu said he was very angry when he learned Bai Cong brought people home," Shang Chen said, "He went to the small building in the back garden to find him. Before going he thought to give this girl some money, ask her not to make a fuss, and then send her away."

Gu Yanjing and the others listened.

"Bai Cong has done quite a few things like today," Shang Chen continued, "Always in that small building behind his backyard. Bai Zhongwu went along with him at first. After a while, he got tired of cleaning up after him. So he began to stop him. Today was an attempt to stop him and release the person."

"Why didn’t he let her go?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Because Gu Yao wanted Bai Zhongwu to rescue Sheng Chendong," Shang Chen said.

"What?" Lin Huai Shu said, shocked.

"Bai Zhongwu received the task to save Sheng Chendong a few days ago. He was worried about how to manage it. Coincidentally, his son brought Miss Le Chu home. He learned about Miss Le Chu’s relationship with Miss Qiao. Bai Zhongwu had Bai Cong leave the small building and locked up Miss Le Chu inside. He intended to use her to exchange with Mr. Gu for Sheng Chendong."

Gu Yanjing narrowed his eyes lightly.

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a while, then asked, "Is the person behind the Bai Family Gu Yao?"

"Probably not," Shang Chen replied, "Bai Zhongwu thinks Gu Yao is just a middleman. There’s someone behind Gu Yao."

"Gu Linhai?" Lin Huai Shu asked.

"No," Gu Yanjing replied.

"True," Lin Huai Shu agreed, "Gu Yao and Gu Linhai are on the same side. If Gu Linhai wanted to pass a message, he absolutely wouldn’t use Gu Yao."

"Does it have anything to do with Zhao Shimeng?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

"Unknown," Shang Chen said, "Bai Zhongwu has never met the person. Since being approached, it’s always been Gu Yao contacting him. Moreover, Gu Yao personally visited him at night. They have no direct contact information."

"If it were Zhao Shimeng, the person she needed to save would have been Sheng Anhe," Gu Yanjing said quietly.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him.

What he said made some sense.

If it were Zhao Shimeng.

Then the person she would rescue should be Sheng Chendong and Sheng Anhe.

If she had to choose one, she would pick Sheng Anhe first.

Moreover, Zhao Shimeng’s every move was being watched.

Calls on her phone were being monitored.

Her influence in Capital City had been dismantled.

She couldn’t achieve these things.

Especially allowing the Bai Family to develop so quickly.

When the Bai Family first emerged, Sheng Chendong had not been caught.

Who could it be?

Someone behind Gu Linhai.

Who could it be?

What is the relationship between Sheng Chendong and the person behind it?

Gu Yanjing clasped Qiao Yuxian’s hand.

Qiao Yuxian returned the grip, her thumb stroking the back of his hand.

Lin Huai Shu touched his right cheek, also quietly pondering.

After a while, Shang Chen spoke somberly, "Mr. Lin, your face is about to get scratched."

Lin Huai Shu paused the hand touching his right cheek and looked at Shang Chen.

Shang Chen continued, "Just a small patch, it’s really red; you’re going to scratch it yourself."

Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian both looked at him.

He’d been rubbing it the whole way.

Qiao Yuxian watched him closely.

Lin Huai Shu hurriedly lowered his hand, his ears turning red.

Gu Yanjing glanced at him, giving a light chuckle.

So light it seemed negligible.

But Lin Huai Shu noticed.

And his ears reddened even more...
