Chapter 1772

Situ Zhao was supported by Wu Guozhang in the past. The relationship between the two went beyond that of master and servant. Wu Guozhang has always been upset about Situ Zhao's imprisonment, because it has a great relationship with his Wu family.

"Old Wu, don't worry, I can guarantee that the life of the Situ Sect Master will be safe."

Ye Xiao said solemnly.

Even if their actions in a few days are not smooth and Situ Zhao cannot be rescued, with Ye Xiao's ability, it will be difficult for the large troops to return intact, but it will be no problem for him to protect one or two people.

At the same time when Ye Xiao and Wu Guozhang were talking, not far from the Chu Mansion, a luxury car was driving slowly.

Gu Xinglong looked at the old man of the Gu family with concern and said, "Grandpa, I think the situation on Grandpa Chu's side seems to be a little unfavorable to our Gu family!"

Like Wu Huiru, Gu Xinglong was also very anxious about this trip to the Chu Mansion.

With the Wu family and their Gu family, it would be fine if they used the same method to get Chu Tiantai's support. Gao Qimei also played a big trick at the birthday banquet, which made Gu Xinglong even more uncertain about whether he could get Chu Tiantai's support.

Gu Changqing could naturally see what his grandson was thinking. He said lightly: "Don't worry about the Wu family. Wu Guozhang has to spend a lot of effort just to deal with the rebellion of Zhonghemen. His advantage in the election is not great. Your grandfather Chu will not fail to see this."

"And Gao Qimei is our Wu family's strong rival!"

"By the way, how is the progress between you and Yang Jing? What is the reaction of Qi Tianwu?"

This birthday banquet, winning over Chu Tiantai is only one of Gu Changqing's goals. Another goal is to test Qi Tianwu.

Even in Gu Changqing's view, whether the latter goal is achieved is more urgent for the Gu family at this moment.

Chu Tiantai knew Chu Tiantai well. He was an old fox who would not release his eagle until he saw the rabbit. Just one communication would not make him make up his mind. But Qi Tianwu was different. This was related to the biggest card of his Gu family, that is, the support of the inland government for the Gu family.

He must get confirmation as soon as possible.

Hearing Gu Changqing's words, Gu Xinglong's face became more depressed, "Grandpa, Yang Jing and I had a very smooth plan, but just when we were about to test Qi Tianwu's attitude, we were interrupted by a kid."

"Later, when I went to find Qi Tianwu again, she was gone. Maybe Yang Jing and I had alerted the enemy."

Hearing this, Gu Changqing's pair of gray eyebrows instantly frowned.

"You useless guy, you can't even handle this little thing. Can I still count on you to shoulder the burden of my Gu family in the future?"

"Do you know that this is the critical moment of your second uncle's election? The inland card is very important to my Gu family."

Unlike the Wu family, whose old man Wu Guozhang returned to participate in the election, the Gu family has a second-generation Gu family member who is now the director of the Penglai Inspection Office.

"Grandpa, I know I was wrong. I will definitely find a way to make up for it when I come down." Gu Xinglong lowered his head and said uneasily.

Of course, he knew the importance of the inland card to the Gu family's election. This was the only political declaration that could compete with Gao Qimei's deviation from the inland program in terms of position. However, if the Gu family could not grasp this card well, it would be very likely to lose the election.

In addition, Gu Changqing's words also made Gu Xinglong feel the crisis of his position. The three generations of the Gu family are not just him. If he cannot satisfy Gu Changqing, his position in the Gu family will probably be shaken.

Just when Gu Xinglong was feeling uneasy, Gu Changqing's cold voice came to his ears again.

"You just said that there was a kid at the banquet who disturbed you and Yang Jing. Who was that guy? Have you arranged someone to investigate his identity?"

Gu Changqing keenly sensed the strangeness of the matter from his grandson's words. Although he only had a slight suspicion, this might become the second clue for his Gu family to unravel the mystery.

"Grandpa, that kid has some grievances with Yang Jing. I think it may have nothing to do with Qi Tianwu, so I didn't check it." Gu Xinglong still buried his head and said carefully.

At first, he also suspected that Ye Xiao, who suddenly appeared, might have come to help Qi Tianwu out.

But what happened later dispelled his doubts. In his opinion, it was very likely that Ye Xiao knew about Yang Jing's relationship with Davika, so he deliberately came to find trouble.

"Don't think so. I want accurate information. Do you understand?" Gu Changqing scolded again.

Gu Xinglong couldn't stop sweating on his forehead, and nodded quickly like a chicken pecking at rice.

"Yes, yes, Grandpa, I'll send someone to check on that kid right away."

......

The Gao family of Penglai rushed back from the birthday banquetZhang Wuneng went to the study room immediately and reported what happened at the banquet to his father-in-law Gao Qimei.

At this time, Zhang Wuneng was sitting opposite Gao Qimei.

Gao Qimei was sipping a cup of tea from a covered bowl while listening quietly to Zhang Wuneng's story.

Although there was also a cup of tea in front of Zhang Wuneng, he did not dare to drink a sip. After getting Gao Qimei's instruction, he kept telling the story and recounted the whole process of the birthday banquet.

"Dad! The handwritten letter you sent was really wonderful."

"You didn't see how ugly Wu Guozhang and Gu Changqing looked when they saw your handwritten letter. I think no matter how much Wu Guozhang and Gu Changqing said to Chu Tiantai today, it was not as good as your handwritten letter."

At the end of the story, Zhang Wuneng did not forget to give a sincere flattery.

Gao Qimei smiled and said, "Wuneng, you've worked hard today, have a cup of tea to moisten your throat!"

"Okay, Dad!" Zhang Wuneng responded and was about to pick up the teacup.

He was in a very relaxed mood at the moment. It seemed that Gao Qimei was quite satisfied with what he did today.

But just when Zhang Wuneng's hand was about to touch the teacup, Gao Qimei spoke out of the blue.

"Wuneng, what you did at the gate of Chu's house was a little inappropriate!"

"Uh!" Hearing Gao Qimei's words, Zhang Wuneng's hand suddenly stopped in mid-air. His face froze, but his mind was working rapidly.

Zhang Wuneng just mentioned what happened at the gate of Chu's house, but Gao Qimei pointed it out at this time, undoubtedly telling Zhang Wuneng that Gao Qimei had spies at the birthday banquet.

Those spies not only paid attention to Chu Tiantai's birthday banquet, but also regarded themselves as surveillance targets.

After thinking quickly for a few seconds, Zhang Wuneng retracted his hand and admitted his mistake more cautiously: "Dad, I didn't plan well. I didn't expect that there was a martial arts master next to Situ Jin, which made Wang Beixiong and Lin Yunxiang suffer a setback."

Gao Qimei gently put down the teacup in his hand. He was happy to see Zhang Wuneng's flattered look at this time.

After all, a son-in-law is not a son. Although he gave Zhang Wuneng power and asked him to do some things for him, he still had to give him a warning from time to time.

Let him always keep awe of himself, which is the best way to control people.

"Wuneng, I don't mean to blame you. Since that kid repeatedly prevents you from doing things, let someone get rid of him!"

Gao Qimei said lightly.
