The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 640 - 602 Peace Pendant

"Don’t talk nonsense." Gu Yanjing lightly flicked her cheek.

Qiao Yuxian covered his fingers and said, "Don’t worry, nothing will happen. I’ll always be here."

"Mm." Gu Yanjing agreed.

Qiao Yuxian took off her shoes, curled her leg on the sofa, and said, "But I didn’t expect Shi Tan to be Sheng Chendong’s niece. Does Sheng Chendong have a brother? Who could it be?"

"The Bai Family kidnapped Le Chu under someone’s orders to force you to save Sheng Chendong." Gu Yanjing said, "It’s likely the person behind the Bai Family."

"At the time, Gu Yao was the intermediary." Qiao Yuxian thought for a moment and said, "Gu Yao... the mysterious person in Jin City?"

"Highly possible." Gu Yanjing said, "When the underground laboratory in Capital City was bombed, and we went to Jin City to pursue Gu Yao, Shi Tan intervened to help."

"Check Shi Tan’s DNA." Qiao Yuxian suddenly sat up straight and said, "Compare it with those attending the recognition banquet in Jin City."

Gu Yanjing took out his phone to make a call and immediately arrange it.

He first called the police station in Jin City and then contacted the people who stayed there.

The actions in Jin City must be swift.

Also, they must first focus on investigating those they suspect.

The other party sent Zhao Shimeng with information to urge them, surely they were prepared long ago, and maybe the people in Jin City have already fled.

Once arrangements were made in Jin City, Gu Yanjing contacted someone to come and take a blood sample from Shi Tan.

After the call, Gu Yanjing picked up the stationery on the coffee table and asked, "What’s the problem with this letter?"

Qiao Yuxian took the paper, glanced at it, and said, "I’ve told you before, my grandma had a brother with no blood relation."

"Mm." Gu Yanjing said, "Is it him?"

"This handwriting is his." Qiao Yuxian looked at the line of words and said, "His name is Qu Qingkong."

Gu Yanjing’s eyelashes lightly trembled.

Seeing he was silent, Qiao Yuxian glanced at him and asked, "Have you heard this name?"

"When Grandpa told me you were poisoned and urged me to come back quickly, he mentioned this name." Gu Yanjing stroked her hair and said, "He said it was Qu Qingkong who poisoned."

Qiao Yuxian was silent for a moment and said, "Qu Qingkong’s letters to Grandma are still at Qiao Mansion in Yue City. Communication wasn’t as developed as it is now. Grandma said he also liked writing letters, so there are many of them. They are all very well preserved."

Gu Yanjing didn’t speak, analyzing the person Qu Qingkong in his mind.

He left the letter for Zhao Shimeng to find and bring it to Capital City for them.

This person is very skilled at reading people’s thoughts.

He could predict Zhao Shimeng would find the letter and bring it to Capital City.

He also might have known Grandma Xi would keep his letters, and Qiao Yuxian had seen them.

He could guess all this.

"My grandma and Mr. Huo both very firmly told me that Qu Qingkong was definitely dead. Especially my grandma, she was very sure." Qiao Yuxian said, "So Mr. Huo always leaned towards the idea that they hadn’t destroyed all of Qu Qingkong’s research, never considering that Qu Qingkong was still alive. But now, not only is he alive, but he also has two sons. There might even be more than two."

Qiao Yuxian looked at the stationery again.

The stationery was very new, and the handwriting was recently written.

All these indicate Qu Qingkong is still alive.

"If Grandma knows Qu Qingkong is still alive..." Qiao Yuxian began saying something but stopped halfway.

Gu Yanjing noticed she didn’t want to continue, so he quickly changed the topic and asked, "Where is the Peace Pendant?"

Qiao Yuxian suddenly looked at him.

In her wide eyes, Gu Yanjing saw a fleeting moment of defense.

This defense was buried in her body, already forming a subconscious awareness.

Whenever mentioned, it reflexively formed this defensive awareness.

Gu Yanjing looked into her eyes.

Qiao Yuxian glanced once, then squinted and asked, "What do you want to do?"

Gu Yanjing also looked at her, paused, and asked, "Can’t hand it over?"

"No." Qiao Yuxian answered absolutely and quickly.

"Give me a reason." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian’s eyes moved, then she lowered her gaze and said, "There’s a secret room on Yao Mountain Island that can only be opened with this Peace Pendant. If opened unnaturally, the things inside will be immediately destroyed."

"What’s inside?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"A map." Qiao Yuxian said.

"A map?" Gu Yanjing said.

"Mm." Qiao Yuxian pinched Gu Yanjing’s fingers back and forth with both hands and said, "The Earth is so big, there will always be some mysterious places. Just relying on today’s technology or some means, it’s very difficult to enter and reach."

"Have Grandma Xi and the others been there?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"Mm." Qiao Yuxian said, "Grandpa Gu, my grandparents, Grandpa Nine, Qu Qingkong, and many others accidentally walked into it, and many died there. Although they managed to come out alive, they suffered severe injuries."

"Someone went later?" Gu Yanjing asked.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, then held his face and rubbed it, saying, "How come you can guess everything."

Gu Yanjing held her hand, pulled her forward a bit, and kissed her lips.

Qiao Yuxian shifted a bit, putting her foot on his leg: "Later, your grandfather and my grandma took some people with memories from the first accidental entry and went there once."

Gu Yanjing was silent for a moment.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, then suddenly smiled and asked, "What is Mr. Gu thinking?"

"Nothing." Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian smiled and said, "They were together at that time and had a great relationship. My grandma didn’t bring Qu Qingkong; instead, she went to that extremely dangerous place with Grandpa Gu."

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

Qiao Yuxian continued, "That place, even a slight mistake can cost lives. The two of them going there... likely they decided to die together there.

"Their relationship was that good." Gu Yanjing was silent for a long time and finally just dryly said those few words.

"So scared?" Qiao Yuxian laughed, "Just a little and we would be siblings."

Gu Yanjing looked at her and said, "No."

"Mm?"

"We’ll be together in another way." Gu Yanjing said.

"You’re right, we’re destined to be together." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing covered her leg with the blanket and said, "Mm."

After he responded, after a few seconds he continued, "So Grandpa knows quite a lot."

"Are you talking about Grandpa Gu?" Qiao Yuxian asked.

"Mm." Gu Yanjing said, "I’ve asked him, but he never mentioned any of this to me."

"Because my grandma doesn’t let him talk." Qiao Yuxian said.

Gu Yanjing slightly raised his eyebrow.

"Mm... when they separated, my grandma told Grandpa Gu that she hoped this matter wouldn’t be mentioned by him again." Qiao Yuxian said, "My grandma only mentioned this one condition at that time."

Gu Yanjing said nothing.

So the old man doesn’t say anything, not even to his grandson.

At such a crucial moment, he doesn’t mention anything.

"Grandpa Gu knows if he doesn’t say, I’ll tell you at the right time. So he’s not worried." Qiao Yuxian defended Grandpa Gu, "Grandpa Gu truly doesn’t know the rest. When Qu Qingkong betrayed my grandma, Grandpa Gu had already returned to Capital City for a while. So he wasn’t clear about what specifically happened."
