As for Gu Qing’er’s reaction, Gu Changsheng and the others didn’t find it strange at all. These days, Gu Qing’er was constantly going in and out of the Mountain Villa, she’d basically treated that place as her second home.

To her, Su Changfeng and Shen Hanxue were even more like a real older brother and sister. Now that someone was smearing her "sister’s" name like this, how could she possibly sit still?

"Everyone’s talking about it right now, it’s blowing up everywhere. As for who spread it first, we really don’t know," Gu Qingwen said.

Fuming, Gu Qing’er turned around and left, looking like she was about to head out.

Gu Changsheng hurriedly called out to her and asked, "Qing’er, we’re about to eat, you’re still going out?"

"Hmph, I am so going to drag that person out. When the time comes, this young lady will definitely not let him off!" Gu Qing’er stormed out angrily.

Gu Changsheng let out a helpless sigh. This little girl had always been the type to do whatever she said she’d do, he couldn’t stop her at all!

"Dad, is it okay for her to just rush out like that?" Gu Qingwen looked at Gu Qing’er’s back, a bit worried.

"It’s fine. This girl is Su Changfeng’s little sister now, no one’s going to mess with her. Just let her be. If she really manages to find the one behind this, that’d be perfect. This thing should be handled as soon as possible. If Shen Hanxue finds out, who knows if it’ll affect her condition," Gu Changsheng said.

After walking out the door, Gu Qing’er made several calls in a row, set a specific meeting time, then floored the gas and shot out of the Gu Family Mansion.

Shangdao Coffee House.

When Gu Qing’er arrived, she saw a few young people already waiting outside. She had called these people just now; after they got her call, they rushed over in a hurry.

You had to know, Gu Qing’er was Su Changfeng’s little sister. Even if they were all rich kids too, none of them had the guts to brush her off.

"Qing’er, you’re here."

"Qing’er..."

"..."

Gu Qing’er swept her gaze over them. These few were friends she usually hung out pretty well with, and they counted as having some pull in Jiang City.

"Let’s go in first." Gu Qing’er said with a serious face.

The few of them all noticed her expression and more or less guessed what this was about. They didn’t waste time and followed her inside.

These guys were used to being arrogant and overbearing, but in front of Gu Qing’er they were very proper, obedient like a bunch of elementary school kids.

"Looks like the news I know about, you all know too?" Gu Qing’er spoke in a low voice.

Just that one sentence made their expressions change drastically. They naturally knew what she meant. They themselves had talked about that matter before, and had even thought it might be true. But in front of Gu Qing’er, they definitely didn’t dare admit they believed it.

"Qing’er, are you talking about the rumors about Shen Hanxue?" someone asked at this point.

Hearing that, Gu Qing’er finally wasn’t quite as furious. At least they didn’t believe it and knew it was just a rumor.

"Since you already knew, why didn’t you tell me?" Gu Qing’er questioned unhappily.

"Qing’er, something like this, you can tell it’s fake the moment you hear it. Since it’s fake, there was no need to tell you."

"Exactly, who knows which bastard is behind this, daring to go this far. Don’t worry, we’re already looking into the source of the rumor."

"Yeah, we originally planned to tell you once we had something. Didn’t expect, didn’t expect this thing to have already reached your ears."

Gu Qing’er looked at them suspiciously. She knew exactly what kind of people they were. How could they be so proactive about this kind of thing? A bunch of guys who spend all their free time partying and chasing drinks, suddenly taking the initiative to help?

"Yeah? Since you’re already digging, have you found anything?" Gu Qing’er asked.

"We don’t have any real leads yet. This thing spread too fast, basically everyone knows already, so it’s not that easy to trace back. But don’t worry, just leave it to us, we’ll definitely drag that person out."

"Right, as long as the other party is from Jiang City, we can definitely find him. It just takes some time, that’s all."

"Qing’er, trust us. Since this matter involves Brother Changfeng, we’re duty-bound!"

The way they were talking, they sounded absolutely sworn and resolute, practically about to slam their fists into their chests and swear an oath. Naturally, Gu Qing’er wasn’t about to pin all her hopes on them.

You had to understand, these guys just had some family money. They themselves weren’t that capable. The people they knew were mostly women, which wasn’t of much use.

"Since I contacted you, of course I hope you can help out more with this. Before things are thoroughly investigated, if you dare slack off with me, don’t blame me for being rude."

At this point, Gu Qing’er paused, then continued, "If I find out you’re still hitting up nightclubs and the like, watch how I deal with you."

"We wouldn’t dare, wouldn’t dare. Don’t worry, we’ll definitely get to the bottom of this as soon as possible."

"Yeah, yeah, if we don’t find anything, we absolutely won’t go out and fool around."

"Keep an eye on people at the lower levels. After all, those with status and standing wouldn’t pull something like this." Gu Qing’er added.

In Jiang City, anyone with a bit of status should understand what happens if you offend Su Changfeng. If they wanted to keep mixing in Jiang City, they obviously wouldn’t make a move on Shen Hanxue. So in Gu Qing’er’s view, this had to be the work of some small fry.

Hearing that, the few of them quickly nodded and patted their chests, guaranteeing they would complete the mission.

After Gu Qing’er left, all of their faces turned pretty ugly. They had originally agreed to go to a bar and really have some fun. Who knew Gu Qing’er would show up halfway and completely wreck their plans.

"Sigh, didn’t think this little lady would dump something on us again."

"Yeah, she’s running off to the Mountain Villa every day, but what’s this got to do with us? Even if we help her, what do we get out of it? Seriously!"

"Hey, quit complaining. If our families didn’t have cooperation with the Gu Family, would things be going this well for us? It’s no big deal if Gu Qing’er asks us for help. We just do our best."

"Exactly. What we should do now is hurry and find people, get this done fast. Then we can do whatever we want, there’ll be plenty of chances later."

After Gu Qing’er left, she headed to Charming. She thought it over and decided she still needed to tell Zhu Lie about this. Zhu Lie had a lot of forces under his hand; if he stepped in, this matter would probably be much easier.

As for those few rich kids, to be honest, Gu Qing’er didn’t have much hope for them. The reason she went to them was really just to give it a try.

"Boss, Gu Qing’er is here."

"Let her in." There was no need to say much about Gu Qing’er’s identity. In Zhu Lie’s heart, she counted as a little sister too.
