As soon as the two people at the door heard Wu Zhiyuan say the name Xie Linling, they glanced at each other, and one of them said to Wu Zhiyuan, "You are waiting here", turned around and walked towards the courtyard. The other person showed a suspicious gaze and kept looking Wu Zhiyuan up and down.

Wu Zhiyuan became a child, and made an exaggerated smile at the man. The man was bored, glanced at him and ignored him.

After a while, the man who had advanced to the courtyard first stepped out, followed by a man. The man was wearing a brocade blue shirt on his upper body, black trousers on his lower body, a felt hat on his head, his face was white, his body was not fat, but he was extremely rich, his eyebrows were kind, and he had a smile on his face all the time, and he looked very kind.

"Big brother, that's him." The thug who led the way stretched out his hand to Wu Zhiyuan and said to the person behind him.

"This brother, I heard that you are Miss Xie's friend?" The man came to Wu Zhiyuan, stretched out his hand to take off the felt hat and held it in his hand, with a friendly and respectful demeanor.

Wu Zhiyuan had no bad impression of the person in front of him, and nodded when he heard the words.

"The contemptible surname is Gu, the cheap name is Jiarong, I don't know what to call my brother?" The man reported his name, and it turned out that his name was Gu Jiarong.

"My surname is Wu." Wu Zhiyuan didn't know the details of this person, so he answered cautiously.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Wu Zhiyuan's words fell, Gu Jiarong's eyes suddenly lit up, radiating a fine light, and the smile on his face suddenly relaxed, he respectfully clasped his hands into fists towards Wu Zhiyuan, and said with a smile: "It turned out to be Brother Wu, since you are Miss Xie's friend, please speak inside." As he spoke, he turned sideways and motioned for Wu Zhiyuan to enter the Sheng family compound.

Wu Zhiyuan hesitated slightly, secretly thinking that the other party would not do anything to him, so he walked in, and Gu Jiarong hurriedly followed Wu Zhiyuan's side to guide him.

The layout of the Sheng family's compound is exactly the same as before, Wu Zhiyuan is familiar with the road and does not feel unfamiliar, but he does not show it, just follows Gu Jiarong's guidance.

The two bypassed the rockery and walked all the way to the living room, along the way, Wu Zhiyuan did not find the figure of the Sheng family, not even the servants who swept the floor.

Entering the living room, Wu Zhiyuan saw three people sitting on the sofa at a glance, and secretly thought that what Scar Qiang said was indeed true, the other party was indeed only six people, but at a glance, there was no Sheng Jinyuan in the living room.

When the three of them saw Gu Jiarong and Wu Zhiyuan walking in, they hurriedly stood up and respectfully called Gu Jiarong "Big Brother". Gu Jiarong nodded politely to the three of them, gave up the upper seat on the opposite door to Wu Zhiyuan to sit down, and instructed one of his subordinates to make tea.

The subordinate answered, and the one who rummaged through the cabinets went to look for tea, so that it looked like this Sheng family was his family. Wu Zhiyuan frowned, these people tossed like this, and they didn't see Sheng Jinyuan appear, could it be that they had already killed Sheng Jinyuan?

"Brother Wu, do you know where Miss Xie is now?" Gu Jiarong opened his mouth to ask, his tone was soft, and at the same time his eyes looked at the ash altar in Wu Zhiyuan's hand, the wine jar used in this ash altar, so he didn't know what was in it.

"Who are you? It doesn't seem to be from the Sheng family. Wu Zhiyuan looked at the person who was still rummaging through the tea, and asked instead of answering, although he had guessed the identity of the other party, but without certainty, he would not casually reveal Xie Linling's affairs.

"Ha Lu Ha ......" Gu Jiarong laughed when he heard this, clapped his hands and praised, "Brother Wu is so cautious and careful, he is really a person worthy of trust, it seems that my eldest brother is indeed not wrong." ”

"Your big brother?" Wu Zhiyuan asked suspiciously.

"To tell you the truth, my eldest brother is Du Yuesheng, before coming to Qingdao this time, he also told me, saying that if you see Brother Wu, you must be respectful and treat you like your own brother. Oh, by the way, my eldest brother has a letter asking me to give it to you in person. As he spoke, Gu Jiarong took out an envelope from his arms and handed it to Wu Zhiyuan with both hands.

Wu Zhiyuan took the envelope, took out the letter and unfolded it, first described what the two experienced at the beginning of their meeting, thanked Wu Zhiyuan for taking care of him at the beginning, and then briefly described the feelings of missing Wu Zhiyuan since he had been separated for a long time, hoping that Wu Zhiyuan would be able to go to Shanghai one day.

Wu Zhiyuan didn't recognize Du Yuesheng's handwriting, Du Yuesheng obviously took this into account, so he directly described the beginning of the relationship between the two at the beginning, which proves that this letter was indeed from Du Yuesheng, and these people were indeed sent by Du Yuesheng.

"Yuesheng, is he okay?" Wu Zhiyuan put away the letter and asked with concern.

"Brother Lao Wu is bothered, my eldest brother is very good, but he is a little busy, and there are many things in Tangkou that he still needs to come forward to settle in person, so he can't come to Qingdao for the time being. But he always thought about your brother and often talked about you to our brothers, so when I saw you at the gate just now, I guessed that you were my brother's sworn brother. Gu Jiarong smiled heartily, and suddenly changed the topic, "By the way, Brother Wu, do you know where Miss Xie Linling is now?" ”

"She's dead." Wu Zhiyuan replied with a gloomy expression, "Dead?" Gu Jiarong was taken aback, suddenly stood up from the sofa, and looked at Wu Zhiyuan in disbelief.

"Well, that's her fragrant bones." Wu Zhiyuan nodded, and put the ash altar he had been holding in his arms on the coffee table in front of him.

Gu Jiarong stared at the ash altar on the coffee table for a moment, suddenly scolded "Red Guy" in Shanghainese, turned around and walked towards the compartment inside, that compartment Wu Zhiyuan still remembers that he had been forcibly locked in by Scar at the beginning.

Wu Zhiyuan secretly screamed, "Not good", because he saw that Gu Jiarong's always gentle face was suddenly full of murderous intent.

Sure enough, as soon as Gu Jiarong walked into the cubicle, there was a burst of angry scolding and punching and kicking from inside, and after a while, Gu Jiarong dragged a person out, dragged him to the coffee table, he threw the person to the ground, and kicked him a few times.

"Your mother's tortoise! Dare to lie to Lao Tzu, didn't you say that Miss Xie was sent to the countryside by you? Target! As he spoke, Gu Jiarong kicked the man on the ground again, and the man "whined" a few times, but he didn't say anything.

Wu Zhiyuan took a closer look, and saw that the man was lying on the ground, with his whole body tied up, his hands tied behind his back, and there were a lot of bruises behind his ears, obviously suffering a lot.

"Who is this?" Wu Zhiyuan could only see the back of the man's head on the ground, but he had basically guessed the identity of this person, and he felt that the question he asked was a bit redundant.

"This is Sheng Jinyuan! Miss Xie was killed by him! As he spoke, Gu Jiarong kicked hard at the man, and the man suddenly turned over, his back was facing up, and his face was exposed in front of Wu Zhiyuan and Gu Jiarong.

Sure enough, it's Sheng Jinyuan!
