Chu Yang felt very depressed.

I have heard that it is not uncommon for large families to hire someone to kill their father for profit.

But he felt he had entered an immoral cycle.

If you kill Gu Shengyao's father, you can obtain Gu Shengyao's body.

In other words, he needs to kill his father-in-law in order to get his wife.

This is on the same level as his current suspicion that Su Wanning is his biological sister.

He shook his head violently. "No way! Whatever your grudges are, I don't intend to get involved in your ethical drama."

Gu Shengyao frowned slightly, unable to believe what she had just heard.

"You actually refuse?"

Chu Yang quickly draped the brocade robe over her shoulders and thoughtfully fastened the buttons.

"Let's put that aside for now. You have to admit I saved you, right?"

Gu Shengyao nodded slightly: "That's right, but you won't use this to blackmail me into having sex with you right now, will you?"

Chu Yang scoffed, "If I thought that way, why would I even bother dressing you? That would be pointless!"

Gu Shengyao shook her head slightly: "When you were buttoning my shirt just now, you touched my chest."

Chu Yang's lips twitched. "Um... don't worry about the details. Come with me to the capital to save someone."

Gu Shengyao frowned and looked at Chu Yang with a strange expression.

"You know my constitution; besides harming others, how could I possibly save anyone?"

Chu Yang smiled and said, "You can be my partner."

"But..." Gu Shengyao's expression was somewhat resentful.

Just then, Gu Shuofeng pushed open the door and walked in.

"Yaoyao, I told you he definitely wouldn't agree."

Chu Yang immediately rolled his eyes: "No way, you just said you'd be my slave, I'd repay your kindness. And now you're teaming up with your sister to mess with me?"

Gu Shuofeng awkwardly rubbed his neck and let out a long sigh.

"Actually, my grandfather didn't tell you the truth. A long, long time ago..."

"Shut up!" Gu Shengyao immediately interrupted her brother when she heard that he was about to tell a long story.

"Let me tell you! My mother didn't die because she had the same constitution as me; my father drained her of the last bit of her vital essence. He even wanted to drain me as well, but my brother secretly took me away. My maternal grandfather didn't leave Miao territory because he was wanted by the imperial court; he left to escape my father's pursuit."

Chu Yang understood what was said in those few words.

"Fine! If you're not lying to me, this kind of person deserves to die. You don't need to promise me with your body; I can help you."

"I must warn you. His current strength is unfathomable. The imperial court sent martial arts masters to capture him, but they were all killed by him. As long as you keep your promise, I will be devoted to you wholeheartedly, forever!"

Gu Shengyao's tone was full of determination.

Chu Yang smiled and nodded, "Okay! After we've settled things, I'll go with you to Miao territory."

Gu Shengyao shook her head: "No need! Aren't you going to the capital? He's been working as a retainer under a powerful figure there for the past few years. We have people there who will help us find him."

An hour later, at the airport.

Chu Yang slapped his forehead, feeling utterly overwhelmed, as if he was destined to be a nanny for the rest of his life.

Besides Gu Shuofeng and his sister, and Lin Xiaoman, who were the three people he had to bring along, Tangtang was also by his side.

Just then, screams came from the airport gates.

"Ahhh...that's...the Great Xia's number one female war goddess!"

"My God! My idol!"

If it weren't for the guards protecting them, those crazy fans would have just stuck to them.

Suddenly, someone in the crowd exclaimed, "Ah? The one next to Xiao Zhanshen is... Little Fairy Doctor?"

Immediately afterwards, the crowd erupted in a frenzy, with phone flashlights flashing incessantly.

Just as the two were surrounded by a group of crazy fans, a woman with an elegant demeanor and stunning beauty walked over quickly.

Wearing a white suit skirt, she exudes elegance and poise.

"Wan Ning, you're here too?"

Chu Yang smiled and took two steps to greet him.

Su Wanning's expression was a little unnatural. "I heard you were going out, so I came here to see you off."

As she spoke, she handed her a bag containing an designer suit.

"I didn't know what you were going to the capital for, so I bought you a suit. A man should always look presentable when he goes out."

Chu Yang smiled and took the bag. "Thank you!"

"You're welcome!" Su Wanning blurted out.

Everyone could see that there was something wrong between the two of them; they seemed to be harboring their own secrets.

"Um...while I'm gone for the next couple of days, you'll be busy with company matters, right?"

Chu Yang felt that his conversation with Su Wanning was a bit awkward. Once he confirmed that the person on the other end was his half-sister, the incident at the hotel would become a real problem.

To ease the awkwardness, he casually changed the subject.

Su Wanning's expression was also somewhat awkward.

"I... I accepted his invitation to go out for dinner tonight."

"Oh, I see," Chu Yang replied casually.

Perhaps sensing that Chu Yang was being somewhat perfunctory, Su Wanning explained, "I know our relationship is delicate right now, but you can rest assured, I have principles."

Chu Yang rubbed his nose.

He had thought this through very clearly.

Putting aside the unknown factor of siblings, a relationship between two people cannot always be a one-sided effort.

Sometimes, the tighter you hold on, the more counterproductive it may be.

"I believe you. Let's have a good talk when I get back."

"Yes, that's what I think too." Su Wanning brushed a stray hair behind her ear, lowered her head and smiled.

"Oh, Feifei said she'll be staying at the company. I don't know why, but Murong Lan is acting like a madwoman today, attacking the company with unprecedented force."

Chu Yang frowned slightly and said, "You... and Fei Fei..."

Su Wanning smiled and said, "I told you before that I wouldn't interfere in your affairs. Okay, come back soon. I have something to do, so I'll be going now."

As soon as Su Wanning left, Xiao Yuening's adjutant led him to the VIP room.

Xiao Yuening and Hua Xiyue quickly followed them in.

"Did the Chu family coerce you?" Xiao Yuening asked abruptly.

"No! I just wanted to go and see what was going on."

"Watching the show? Are you crazy?"

Xiao Yuening's high-frequency voice made Chu Yang's eardrums ache.

Hua Xiyue rolled her eyes at Xiao Yuening, annoyed.

"Can't you speak properly?"

She frowned and looked at Chu Yang.

"Going to the capital now is practically suicide!"

"Don't worry! Marquis Ding'an will intervene, and the Chu family won't dare to openly do anything to me. If they resort to underhanded tactics, I won't be afraid."

Xiao Yuening raised her head slightly and commanded, "I forbid you to go!"

Before Chu Yang could speak, Hua Xiyue said, "The 'Severing Meridians Powder' is incurable by anyone in the world. Are you really confident?"

Chu Yang exclaimed, "Ah! Of course!"

He turned to Xiao Yuening: "That old guy was poisoned after taking my pills. I haven't settled the score with him yet. I'd be a little unwilling to let him die like this without knowing why."

Before Xiao Yuening could speak, Hua Xiyue snorted, "Do you really think he's a three-year-old? If you're worried, I can go with him. With the Hua family's reputation, even the Chu family won't dare to act recklessly."

Xiao Yuening looked at Hua Xiyue with a surprised expression, his eyes seeming to say, "You didn't say that when we came."

Hua Xiyue didn't even look at Xiao Yuening, turning instead to Chu Yang: "What are you waiting for? Let's go!"

Although Chu Yang understood that Hua Xiyue was tempted by the "Severing Meridians Powder", it seemed that leaving now wouldn't be a good idea.

Xiao Yuening also knew that the possibility of not letting Chu Yang go now was not high.

"The Chu family isn't as united as it seems on the surface. There's serious infighting and factionalism. Be careful not to get torn apart by those whirlpools. Also, I just received news that Chu Song has just flown back to the capital."

Chu Yang's gaze sharpened, and he raised an eyebrow.

"He's a menace; he should be dealt with as soon as possible."

Just then, Xiao Yuening's phone received a voice message from Xiao Zhantian.

Xiao Yuening didn't think much of it and pressed the button directly.

"Ningning, has Xiaoyang left yet? Qiandao will be here soon, hurry back and keep him company."

Chu Yang: "..."
