"Stop!" Gong Ou pinched her nose and called her soul back, "I'm standing in front of you alive now, and your intuition is obviously only half accurate!"
Shi Xiaonian looked at him blankly, and it took him a long time to react. She raised her hand and grabbed his slender fingers, her voice became lower, "You mean, you really wanted to kill George?"
"Let's talk about it after we get in the car." Gong Ou held her back.
"Tell me clearly first." Shi Xiaonian asked, her voice trembling. "Have you thought about the consequences of coming here to assassinate? The main building is full of Lancastrians inside and outside. How did you escape unscathed?"
What would she do if something happened to him
Seeing that she was so nervous, Gong Ou's face slowly darkened and became solemn. He reached out and brushed her long black hair, and said in a low voice, "I admit, I was impulsive."
"What's the use of admitting it now, what if..." Shi Xiaonian couldn't continue and turned his head to the side, a little annoyed.
Seeing this, Gong Ou hugged her into his arms and patted her back comfortingly, "Okay, you know that everything was messed up when I came across you. Didn't I wake up at the critical moment?"
What's the use of being sober? You shouldn't be impulsive.
Shi Xiaonian hit him twice angrily, "We agreed to face it together, and we agreed not to leave anyone behind. Gong Ou, you keep breaking your promises, how can I trust you?"
Gong Ou let her slap him, and his magnetic voice was particularly doting, "I'm sick and can't control it. Don't be angry, don't be angry anymore."
“…”
Shi Xiaonian was speechless.
This man, who was so indifferent at the beginning, has now become able to complain about her. Why should she be angry when he says this? He really knows how to pinch her soft spots.
When Xiao Nian was comforted, Gong Ou raised his eyebrows at her proudly and led her into the car.
As soon as he got into the car, Gong Ou took her into his chest with great enthusiasm, let her lean against him, held her head in his hands, put his index finger on her temples and massaged her, "Are you feeling comfortable?"
Does this count as pleasing her
Shi Xiaonian thought helplessly, leaned against him and asked, "Then why did you suddenly wake up?"
"I was stopped by Nige and the others on the way, the same group of clan members who were fighting with George." Gong Ou told her truthfully while giving her a massage, "They used this ghost incident to negotiate with me, promising benefits to me and letting me I sided with them at the family meeting.”
It turned out that there was a family meeting just now.
"According to your character, shouldn't you be helping them?" Shi Xiaonian asked with some doubts. Gong Ou hated George deeply, and with this ghost incident, Gong Ou was thinking of killing George, wasn't he
"Don't be anxious when you listen to the story." Gong Ou pinched her nose, looked at her lovingly with his black eyes, and continued to tell her, "I agreed immediately. As soon as I entered the main building, George showed me his investigation report. "
"Investigation report?"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned.
"George has arranged secret surveillance in many places, and it is clear that the ghost incident was arranged by Nigel and the others. They also killed Gwendolin in order to alienate our cooperative relationship." Gong Ou said, "The evidence is very clear. Clear, nothing suspicious."
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian immediately sat up from Gong Ou's arms and looked at him in astonishment, "You mean, I became a tool for the Lancaster family's infighting?"
"That's right." Gong Ou said in a low voice, with a hint of cruelty flashing in his eyes, "If they dare to attack you, of course they have to pay a price."
Therefore, he gave those people a hard blow at the family meeting, just to vent his anger on Shi Xiaonian.
"These things have nothing to do with George?"
After walking around in a big circle, Shi Xiaonian finally understood the truth. She felt it was extremely ridiculous. She always thought it was all George's fault and never thought about the second possibility.
She actually became a tool for other families to fight within each other, which was really unthinkable.
"You can say that." Gong Ou nodded.
When Shi Xiaonian was thinking about what was going on here, she always felt that something was wrong, but a big stone slowly fell down in her heart. "They didn't want to harm me or the Gong family on purpose. You can rest assured."
Gong Ou's eyes froze, and he looked at her for a few seconds, slightly curling his lips, "Yeah."
By the time she finished speaking, the car had parked outside the villa in the East District. The Gong family's bodyguards were standing there. When Shi Xiaonian was about to open the car door and get out, she heard Gong Ou say from behind her, "Go back first, I have something else to do."
Shi Xiaonian immediately turned around sensitively, "If there is anything else, I have already persuaded you to go back."
"It's not enough to prevent Nige and his group from getting real estate. I'll arrange something else." Gong Ou stared at her and said.
With the experience in the morning, Shi Xiaonian was still relieved that he was alone. He immediately and decisively withdrew his hand from the car door, "I'll go with you."
"What's there to follow?"
"Because you have a criminal record, you said you were going to say goodbye, but in fact you were going to assassinate him." Shi Xiaonian stared at his handsome face and said.
“…”
"Besides, neither the ghost shadow nor the flying knife incident really hurt me. Not getting the real estate is already a fatal revenge for them. Then some of them will be worried. Why does President Gong Da want to take revenge?" Shi Xiao Nian said logically, her eyes looking through him, "There must be something else, right?"
“…”
Gong Ou looked at her steadily, lowered his head for a while and kissed her hard on the face. He gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I really don't know if it's a good thing or a bad thing that you know me so well!"
Sure enough, I guessed it right.
Shi Xiaonian touched her kissed face, "What are you going to do?"
"I want to go somewhere." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, glanced at her, "I'll take you with me."
What does it mean to lead? If she hadn't exposed him, he would have gone alone again.
The car started slowly again in front of the ancient villa and drove forward. After driving for a while, Gong Ou pulled Shi Xiaonian out of the car.
The bodyguards led the way through some trails and passed quietly among the trees. They were cautious along the way and were still checking around to see if there was any covert surveillance.
When Shi Xiaonian saw that all of them looked serious and didn't even make a sound, she couldn't help but become nervous.
"Second Young Master, we're here."
A bodyguard spoke softly.
A group of people stood under a big tree with dense leaves. Shi Xiaonian looked forward along their line of sight and saw a building with a large area in the distance. The floors were not high and the appearance looked like a huge building. It's like an arch bridge, somewhat like an opera house.
There were many bodyguards in black uniforms walking around the building, wearing black helmets and holding long guns.
"What is this place?" Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but asked in a low voice, and she suppressed her curiosity along the way.
Gong Ou stood beside her, holding her shoulder with one hand, and said coldly, "The theater in the Lancaster family has been designated as the final venue for the anniversary festival this time. Mona's tomb is not far away. in the woods.”
"I didn't expect the final place to be so far away from where I live." Shi Xiaonian said in surprise. The distance was too far. Not to mention that they had to walk, the car had been driving for a long time just now.
Gong Ou put his arm around her shoulders and asked the bodyguard coldly, "Have you checked everything out?"
"After checking, there is a weakly guarded place where you can enter the theater without attracting attention. There is no one inside the theater. It is said that George did not allow anyone to enter the funeral hall and destroyed the decorated funeral hall." The bodyguard whispered.
After saying that, several bodyguards walked forward and approached the theater.
Shi Xiaonian asked beside Gong Ou in confusion, "You actually asked someone to investigate this place. When did you do it?"
"I've asked people to check the entire manor." Gong Ou said.
“…”
sharp.
No wonder he dared to bring their whole family to Lancaster Manor, and there were many little tricks.
Shi Xiaonian followed them forward and asked in a low voice, "But why do we come to the theater?"
Although the crisis is now over, according to the process, they should pack up and leave now.
"Do you still remember the unfinished sentence between Gwen Delin and Li Qingyan?"
"Anniversary festival." Shi Xiaonian blurted out, somewhat understanding, "You mean that what Gwendolen wanted to say at that time was the final venue of the anniversary festival? That is, the theater?"
"I just came to take a look. It's just a mourning hall. There aren't too many people to decorate it, but everyone is an elite." Gong Ou said coldly.
While the two were talking, the bodyguard had already led them to a place where the guards were relatively weak, and silently knocked one of the guards to the ground.
One of the bodyguards quickly changed into the man's equipment and helmet, and the rest quickly pulled the man to a hiding place.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but think proudly, no matter how elite he was, he couldn't beat what Gong Ou brought.
Someone was showing off. Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian entered through the small side door. Once inside, they were in the backstage of the theater. It was obviously not the time for acting. There were all black and white curtains on the table and on the ground, filled with a thick atmosphere. A sense of sadness.
Shi Xiaonian stepped over sections of fabric and said, "Actually, when I looked at the schedule, I also felt strange. In fact, there were enough memorial activities in the past few days, why do we have to arrange one on the last day? It's not very repetitive. What?"
The arrangements for the last day are to lay flowers at the cemetery and then hold a memorial service to end it.
Hearing this, Gong Ou stopped and stared at her deeply with his dark eyes, his eyes unpredictable.
"What's wrong?"
Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" She had such thoughts but never told him.
He didn't even take a serious look at the flow chart.
"Is this important?" Shi Xiaonian asked back, "I also asked Secretary Guan that she arranged this list because George wanted to organize a few more days for his daughter, but the activities of the anniversary festival were not diverse, so he could only It was repeated, so I didn’t take it to heart.”
It’s not like anyone deliberately arranged it, so it’s nothing, right
Gong Ou stared at her. Suddenly, he raised the corners of his lips and pulled her to continue walking in. "Let's go, it seems we are at the right place today!"
There was actually a hint of excitement in his voice.
What is he excited about? What does he want to see
Aren't they going home now
Shi Xiaonian blinked inexplicably and followed Gong Ou through sections of black and white fabric. (To be continued)
