The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 596 - 560

"They have photos," Qiao Yuxian said, "taken with a phone. Someone did follow Mr. Gu Yicheng’s people that day. After Mr. Gu Yicheng’s people dumped the body, not only was the person taken away, but they also took photos."

Qiao Lech frowned, feeling a bit scared.

Qin Xia also rubbed her arms, goosebumps rising.

"They even avoided the surveillance while doing this," Qiao Yuxian said, "so we didn’t find anything at the time."

"They’ve been holding onto this without revealing it, probably waiting for such a moment," Chu Zhengran said.

"What happens after this is revealed?" Qiao Lech asked.

"They smear the Gu Group, smear Yanjing. Label him as a murderer," Lin Huai Shu said, "They might even turn around and lay the missing female student from Jing University on Yanjing, making him, the one who reported it, seem like the thief crying, ’Stop thief!’ and he would have to be investigated."

"If it’s serious, he might have to sit in the police station’s little black room for a few hours," Chu Zhengran said with a laugh.

Hearing his gloating voice, Gu Yanjing: "......"

"Moreover, if this is investigated closely, Mr. Gu Yicheng might also be exposed," Lin Huai Shu said, "Exactly what Gu Yao wants."

Everyone fell silent again.

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing and, after a moment, exaggeratedly and sincerely said, "Don’t worry. I’ll run away with your money when the time comes."

Gu Yanjing narrowed his eyes.

Qiao Yuxian sheepishly shut his mouth.

"Let’s get serious," Lin Huai Shu said with a smile after the commotion, "How do we handle this?"

Qiao Yuxian looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing immediately understood and said, "We can. If we’re exposed, we won’t wait for them to hold the recognition banquet."

"But aren’t we supposed to see who’s attending the recognition banquet?" Qiao Yuxian said, "What if there’s a clue?"

The other four watched the two of them.

"What are you talking about?" Lin Huai Shu asked, "How are you isolating us?"

"I can hack the photos on the phone," Qiao Yuxian explained. "If they have printed negatives or photos, I can also retrieve them, but Yunzhong Building would be suspected. After all, not many people know about this."

On Gu Linhai’s side and Yunzhong Building, they know.

They will first suspect that Yunzhong Building hired a hacker to do something.

This would disrupt their plans.

It’s not just about dealing with Gu Yao’s plan.

The original plan to dismantle the Qian’an Group might have to be abandoned.

"It’s hackable," Gu Yanjing said, "The Gu Family will cooperate in putting on an act so they feel there’s a mole among them."

Qiao Yuxian raised an eyebrow.

"Cause internal strife?" Lin Huai Shu smirked, "Sowing seeds of suspicion?"

"Yes," Gu Yanjing said.

Chu Zhengran said, "Miss Qiao should also perform a bit over there."

"My acting skills are not a problem," Qiao Yuxian said seriously, touching her chin, "But I can’t show my face. I wonder how Uncle Wen’s assistant’s acting is."

"Find a drama teacher for a few days’ training," Lin Huai Shu said.

Qiao Yuxian nodded.

"For psychological warfare, the first rule is to be tough," Lin Huai Shu said, "Giving others the impression of ’How dare you suspect your own father?’ Challenge him, question him angrily!"

"You know quite a bit," Qin Xia said.

"Isn’t that how your drama plays out?" Lin Huai Shu said.

"Oh, you actually watch my drama?" Qin Xia said, "Boosting the views for a rival actor?"

"Don’t say it so harshly. Is that a rival? That’s my sister-in-law," Lin Huai Shu said, "Xi Mei and Lin Entertainment are like family."

"Tomorrow, go get some money from Lin Entertainment’s account," Qiao Yuxian said.

"Tomorrow, I’ll dig up Lin Entertainment’s building," Qin Xia said.

"You heartless woman!" Lin Huai Shu gritted his teeth.

...

The six of them chatted quite late, all sleeping at Jingyu Garden.

After bathing, Qiao Yuxian applied a face mask and let Gu Yanjing blow her hair dry, then went to rinse off the mask and applied skincare.

By the time she returned to the bedroom, Gu Yanjing was already leaning against the headboard, holding his phone, replying to messages.

Qiao Yuxian stood at the door watching him for a moment.

Gu Yanjing, with his eyes lowered, heard her come in but didn’t move. He looked up at her: "What’s up?"

Qiao Yuxian smiled, ran to the bedside, kicked off her slippers, and pounced on him, burying her face in his chest, saying, "My husband is so handsome. Such a handsome person is actually my husband. I’m so happy."

Gu Yanjing put down his phone, held her, and kissed the top of her head.

Qiao Yuxian, lying on him, rubbed her head against his chest a few times, making his robe partly open. Then she laid her face against his chest.

Gu Yanjing watched her do this series of actions, took a gentle breath, and asked, "What are you doing?"

"What?" Qiao Yuxian’s tone was very innocent.

"Nothing," Gu Yanjing said.

"Oh," Qiao Yuxian responded, closing her eyes, and after a while, her fingers started misbehaving, scratching at his waist.

Gu Yanjing initially didn’t move.

But Qiao Yuxian’s actions didn’t stop.

Left with no choice, Gu Yanjing grasped her fingers, "Qiao Yuxian."

Qiao Yuxian didn’t speak, but the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

Gu Yanjing, helpless against her, paused and said, "Sleep?"

"No," Qiao Yuxian said. 𝘧𝘳𝘦ℯ𝓌𝘦𝒷𝘯𝑜𝑣𝘦𝓁.𝒸𝘰𝓂

"If not sleep, then what?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Hmm..." Qiao Yuxian thought for a while, then lifted her head and moved upward.

As soon as she moved, Gu Yanjing held her waist, frowning, "Don’t move."

Qiao Yuxian paused, "I want to look at you."

Gu Yanjing, holding her waist, moved her up a bit.

Now Qiao Yuxian could look into Gu Yanjing’s eyes. She gave him a peck on the lips, then smiled and asked, "Mr. Gu, don’t you want to?"

Gu Yanjing looked at her rosy lips, those clear yet seductive eyes. When he spoke, his voice was a bit hoarse, tinged with intensity, "Do I have the right to want?"

"You’re at least entitled to think about it," Qiao Yuxian said.

"So I can only think about it," Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian’s finger gently tapped on his lips, "Only think about it."

Gu Yanjing looked at her and said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian kissed him again.

Holding her soft waist, Gu Yanjing felt as if all his blood vessels and muscles were tense, yet he dared not move, "Was this on purpose?"

"Yes," Qiao Yuxian replied arrogantly.

"Because I didn’t tell you about Gu Yao?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Hmm," Qiao Yuxian huffed softly.

"We have been investigating, but there hasn’t been any progress," Gu Yanjing said, stroking her hair, "Only in the past few days has there been any substantive development. I didn’t mean to hide it from you."

"Hmm," Qiao Yuxian said, "Is it the person who’s always calling you that helped you investigate?"

"It’s Tang He," Gu Yanjing said.

"Oh," Qiao Yuxian pouted, "So you’re closer to Tang He than to me."

Gu Yanjing pinched her face, "Don’t talk nonsense."

"If I fought with him, who would you help?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"I would help you," Gu Yanjing said.

"Really?"

"Yes."

Qiao Yuxian laughed, resting her head on his shoulder, "No need to help. He can’t beat me."

"Yes," Gu Yanjing chuckled.

"I’m going to sleep," Qiao Yuxian said, "After I fall asleep, put me down."

"Okay," Gu Yanjing agreed, gently patting her back.

Qiao Yuxian soon fell asleep.

Listening to her steady breathing, Gu Yanjing wrapped his arms around her for a long time, only then moving to place her on the bed’s other side, then kissed the top of her head once more before he fell asleep himself.
