Capítulo 991: Chapter 991: That’s a Seriously Twisted Fetish
“Although it’s been hard work for several days, I’m not quite handling your resources well, but… I’ve found a clue.” Arthur said excitedly as he walked in.
Following behind him was Mu Xing, who immediately handed over a stack of documents, “Young Gu, we’ve tracked down people related to Wen Qiao’s biological mother. Particularly, their account has regular remittances. We are currently investigating the source of the remittances, with the most recent one being half a month ago.”
Arthur tapped his chin thoughtfully, “This lead might just expose Cesar’s secret forces concealed in Manchester. Fortunately, Wen Qiao divulged that tiny clue concerning herself to your friend with the surname Ji. She probably doesn’t even realize that with such a small clue, we are capable of tracing it back to the Wen Family.”
“Hm.” Gu Annan responded indifferently, casually flipping through a few pages of the documents before setting them aside, “However, this clue alone isn’t enough to indicate a connection with him. The quickest way to lure him out is still only one method. You all should prepare yourselves soon.”
Arthur raised an eyebrow, “Is Mr. Ji willing?”
Gu Annan looked detached as he turned his gaze toward an invitation on the table.
“If it’s true, he must be willing even if he isn’t. If she is innocent, do everything possible to protect her.” He glanced at the invitation, “Prepare thoroughly. If what we found out yesterday is true, he won’t miss this opportunity.”
Arthur squinted, “I always thought he reined in his subordinates’ reckless behavior, believing himself to be a self-disciplined, abstinent person. This deviant behavior truly differentiates him from ordinary people, ordinary people just don’t appeal to him.”
He only likes his half-sister, quite the extreme taste.
And it’s not just an ordinary fondness, least of all treating her as a mere plaything.
If she were just a plaything, he wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of risking exposure to turn Duke Allen’s son into a eunuch just because he took a liking to Wen Qiao.
In the end, he stumbled over his once furious retaliation.
If it weren’t for uncovering the grudge between Duke Allen’s son and him, they wouldn’t have understood why he’d flee, bringing his sister, due to such forbidden reasons.
“He’s willing to take risks for her repeatedly, breaking principles, and even putting himself in danger, so this time shouldn’t be any exception,” Arthur remarked with a light-hearted smile, “I really wish to hear your friend’s thoughts after learning about this…”
Gu Annan suddenly raised his eyes, “Not a word is to be leaked.”
“You haven’t told him?” Arthur was surprised.
Gu Annan remained silent.
Arthur had been delving into Wen Qiao’s clues, only to find out yesterday about Duke Allen’s past feud with Cesar, which turned out to be because of Wen Qiao. This subsequently led them to discover from Duke Allen that Wen Qiao and Cesar’s relationship wasn’t a typical sibling bond.
Nevertheless, upon learning this, he opted to keep it secret for the time being.
Cesar had held Wen Qiao captive for years, and Gu Annan couldn’t be certain whether she was coerced or if they were indeed a pair.
Only by using this bait to draw her out could they be sure.
“In any case, this birthday event presents an opportunity. Be ready near the Gale Sea and wait for him to show up on his own,” Gu Annan concluded.
Arthur pursed his lips, addressing Mu Xing, “Mu Xing, you heard?”
“I’ll start preparing right away.”
Gu Annan looked up and abruptly said, “Leave this to Mu Bei.”
Mu Xing was momentarily stunned, “Young Gu, did I make a mistake? Or did I do something wrong?”
“You have another task,” Gu Annan explained without elaborating, “Deal with the Shu Family issue. Lately, a deranged woman from the Shu Family has repeatedly tried to harass Wanwan. Go find out what’s going on.”
