Forcing himself to remain calm, he said:

"What do you mean by that, Young Master Gu?"

Gu Hanyuan said quietly:

"Was that Mrs. Guo last night?"

Huang Rong knew perfectly well that Gu Hanyuan had truly recognized her.

She cursed him inwardly for having such sharp eyes.

But he could only pretend to be stupid and say:

"I don't know what Young Master Gu is referring to. Has Young Master Gu mistaken me for someone else?"

Gu Hanyuan's voice was faint and elusive.

He said self-deprecatingly:

"Although I couldn't see clearly last night, I have already etched Madam Guo's captivating and mesmerizing eyes into my heart, and I will never forget them in my lifetime. How could I possibly be wrong?"

Although Gu Hanyuan's voice didn't carry much emotion.

But the deep affection hidden within made Huang Rong's heart tremble uncontrollably.

His words were full of praise and admiration for her beauty.

This made her extremely shy.

He no longer referred to himself as "Gu Mou".

This filled her with an indescribable joy.

The "heart-to-heart pendant" in his arms seemed to heat up again.

The burning sensation made her delicate body go limp.

It took Huang Rong quite a while to barely control her turbulent emotions.

Make sure your voice doesn't tremble.

Said softly:

"Young Master Gu, please don't speak nonsense."

Feeling guilty, Huang Rong just wanted to escape.

She left Gu Hanyuan with her gracefully curved back view.

He made up an excuse and said:

"I'm going to discuss countermeasures with Prefect Ling. Young Master Gu, please go ahead and attend to your business."

Gu Hanyuan watched Huang Rong's departing figure.

Controlling her voice, she said softly:

"Rong'er."

That deep, magnetic voice reached Huang Rong's ears.

It made her shudder uncontrollably.

The name "Rong'er" was originally only used by her closest relatives.

For nearly ten years, she has hardly seen her father, Huang Yaoshi, and her master, Hong Qigong.

Therefore, only Guo Jing usually called her that.

In addition, there was the unexpected incident last night.

She called out to him unintentionally after returning to her room.

All of this makes her particularly sensitive to the way Gu Hanyuan is addressed now.

I almost had to go back to my room to change my clothes.

To cover up his embarrassment.

The volume was increased.

He shouted without daring to turn his head:

"Young Master Gu! Don't call me that!"

Gu Hanyuan remained silent for a moment.

His tone was full of desolation.

He said in a low voice:

"Since Madam Guo is not willing to discuss this further, then I will take my leave."

"I......"

Huang Rong was startled.

He turned around eagerly to look.

But Gu Hanyuan was nowhere to be seen in the courtyard.

Just then, a warm breeze blew by.

Huang Rong, however, felt her delicate body growing cold.

She wrapped her arms around the fair skin hidden beneath her sleeves.

Lost in thought, she leaned her delicate body against a pillar.

A sense of powerlessness welled up inside me.

Gu Hanyuan then located the "Ground Network's" stronghold in Jiangling City.

Several commands were issued.

Then they returned to the inn where Qi Fang and the others were staying.

Surprisingly, Sheng did not leave.

She was chatting and laughing with Qi Fang and Ling Shuanghua.

When Gu Hanyuan pushed the door open and came in.

The three women then happily stopped talking.

Gu Hanyuan came here simply to pass the time.

Soon, under the curious gaze of the little water spinach...

I played a few rounds of mahjong with the three women.

Night falls.

Gu Hanyuan returned to the Ling residence.

Sure enough, a slender black figure slipped in.

They carefully avoided the patrolling guards.

Stop in front of the dungeon door.

Looking at the two guards standing at the door, he was somewhat troubled.

Forcing your way in is too dangerous.

She ran away by herself again.

There was no support behind them.

At this moment, she was muttering to herself resentfully in a delicate, girlish voice:

"Grandpa, Third Grandpa, and Uncle are so heartless."

Just as she was about to risk using sleeping gas to knock out the guard.

The hand that landed on her shoulder almost made her scream.

Fortunately, the sound from behind came just in time.

Only then was it stopped.

"Ding ding dang dang, how did you sneak in? And dressed all in black. Trying to break me out of prison?"

This young girl was Ding Dang.

She wore a black veil.

Wearing a tight-fitting night outfit.

It accentuated her youthful and vibrant figure, making her appear exquisitely shapely.

Gu Hanyuan had been standing behind her for quite some time.

That graceful curve, carefully jutting out to observe the situation.

It almost provoked Gu Hanyuan to reach out and slap it.

However, Gu Hanyuan had already made a plan.
