Start by summoning Black Death Mou

Chapter 37

A few days later, Dan'an City, Ping'an Restaurant.

On the top floor of the third floor, next to the window, Gu Chen was inviting Zheng Hong and several Pinghu Division officers to dinner.

From the day when Zheng Hong decided to 'protect' Gu Chen to now, a few days have passed. During this period, no one came to trouble Gu Chen, and Gu Chen did not encounter the expected attack. In the case of killing the door in the temple, the murderer was not found.

Gu Chen was not in a hurry, although Zheng Hong was a little worried, but he was not particularly anxious, as if no one was in a hurry to find out who the murderer was.

After the first few days of vigilance, when the murderer was still not found, Gu Chen took Zheng Hong to this restaurant that was originally under the name of the Gu family on the grounds of a treat, to enhance his relationship with Zheng Hong.

He is also working hard to get better protection from Pinghu Division.

"Mr. Gu, I remember this restaurant. It should belong to your Gu family, right?"

Gu Chen poured himself a cup of tea, smiled lightly and said:

"Yes, but now it belongs to the Tao family. Such a big incident happened to the Gu family, and the original property is left unattended. In addition, the Gu family has to rebuild now, so my foster brother sold the restaurant to the Tao family."

"Young Master Gu, do you have any objections to this?"

"I don't dare to have any opinions. Originally, I was an unpopular illegitimate child in the Gu family, but now I'm the... son-in-law of the Tao family. I don't have any right to autonomy. Let's just muddle along."

Gu Chen said with a bitter face.

Whether it's an illegitimate child or a son-in-law, it doesn't sound particularly good on any man, let alone Gu Chen now has both.

Even if Gu Chen has no intention of official career in the future and is placed among the people, Gu Chen with these identities will be looked down upon.

"However, Mr. Gu seems to be very satisfied with his current life?"

After a while, Zheng Hong asked again in doubt.

Gu Chen smiled and said:
"Compared with my previous life, what am I not satisfied with? Although the name is not good, but at least I have no worries about food and clothing now, and I don't have to worry about being bullied. Mr. Zheng, you don't know, I used to be in the Gu family. What kind of life is it like?"

As he spoke, Gu Chen vomited bitterness to Zheng Hong, saying that his biological father didn't want to see him, and his biological father's wife treated him coldly, and that even the servants at home bullied him and gave him leftover meals .

This vivid description made Liu Yuan and Wu Chai who were following Zheng Hong couldn't help feeling sympathetic.

Zheng Hong somewhat sympathized with Gu Chen's experience, but apart from his sympathy, Zheng Hong suddenly asked:

"Young master Gu said... people in the Gu family often bully you?"

"This is a common thing. If it weren't for Sister Xiaotao who has been protecting me, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to survive now."

When mentioning the deceased maid Xiaotao, Gu Chen obviously showed a sad expression.

Zheng Hong knew that Xiaotao was four years older than Gu Chen. After Gu Chen entered the mansion, he had been responsible for taking care of Gu Chen. dear existence.

That's why Gu Chen has such an expression now.

But what Zheng Hong wanted to ask was not these, he hesitated for a while, and asked:

"Then among these servants who bully you, there is one named Liu Dashi... Do you know him?"

"Liu Dashi...?"

Gu Chen showed a puzzled expression.

Zheng Hong added: "Oh, in Gu's mansion, he should be called...Old Liu?"

"Old Liu? Is it... the old Liu from the steward?"

Gu Chen frowned, with an undisguised disgust between his brows, he asked, "What's wrong with that old Liu?"

"It's nothing, just asking, looking at Young Master Gu, you seem to hate him?"

"Of course I hate him, because he is the only one who not only bullies me, but also sister Xiaotao!"

"…I see."

Hearing Gu Chen's words, Zheng Hong thought again.

Gu Chen maintained an expression of both indignation and sadness, but the coldness in his heart was even worse.

This guy Zheng Hong really doubted himself. He might not know that Gu Chen did these things, but he believed that there was something wrong with Gu Chen, otherwise he wouldn't have tried again and again.

So what to do?Get rid of him?
According to Gu Chen's thinking, it's better to get rid of people who threaten him as early as possible, but Zheng Hong is on the patrol of the Pinghu Division, and his status in the Pinghu Division is not low. Killing such people will cause even bigger troubles .

Besides, Gu Chen wanted to use Zheng Hong to obtain the protection of Pinghu Division, so he couldn't just kill him directly.

He could only find a way to resolve Zheng Hong's doubts about himself first.

Thinking of this, Gu Chen's expression showed some hesitation, and he said hesitantly to Zheng Hong:
"Speaking of which, Mr. Zheng, you have never told me who killed Miss Xiaotao... Can I know now?"

"Even if you know the murderer, what can you do? The murderer has already been punished."

"But Master Zheng, didn't you also say that the real culprit behind the scenes might be someone else! I just want to know who killed Sister Xiaotao!"

Having said that, Gu Chen coughed several times excitedly.

Seeing this, Zheng Hong quickly comforted him:
"Mr. Gu, don't get excited. I haven't fully investigated this matter, so I can't give Mr. Gu an answer..."

Zheng Hong was about to persuade him again, when suddenly everyone heard footsteps coming from the stairs and a slightly hoarse male voice.

"There are still things in the world that the Pinghu Division's patrols and arrests are not clear about, ha ha."

There was a bit of sarcasm and disdain in the male voice, and everyone looked at the entrance of the stairs, only to see a middle-aged man with gray hair in a black robe standing there.

And beside him, there were two young men who were wearing the same costume as warriors and looked younger. They seemed to be his subordinates.

The middle-aged man walked up the stairs and stood at the entrance. Seeing this, Gu Chen looked at the waiter who was following him with some doubts and asked:

"what happened!?"

"I'm sorry, Young Master Gu, I've persuaded you, but they won't listen..." The waiter looked at Gu Chen in embarrassment, and then said to those who came up:

"Guests, this upstairs has been reserved by our Young Master Gu, that, look..."

The shop waiter hesitated while talking to the people in front of him, but before he finished speaking, the guard next to the middle-aged man slapped him.

"roll!"

This slap carried internal energy, the shop clerk was just an ordinary person, how could he avoid it, he didn't even react, he was hit by this slap, his body flew upside down, hit the wall of the restaurant, fell down and passed out past.

"How dare you!! Hurt someone in front of me!!"

Seeing this scene, Zheng Hong stood up abruptly from his seat, glaring angrily at the few people in front of him.

Liu Yuan and Wu Chai also stood up, standing behind Zheng Hong, vaguely guarding Gu Chen behind, with their hands on their weapons, ready to draw their sheaths at any time.

The person is not good!
Everyone who saw this scene instantly understood that these people standing in front of them were not friends, they were here to ask for trouble.
