C78 (1/2)

In the end, Su He did not manage to catch up to him. The gap between them was too long, and that person had long disappeared without a trace.

That person must be extremely familiar with the residence, being able to cleverly avoid everyone. The only thing he was sure of was that the man should have escaped through the back door, because there were obvious signs that the door had been forced open.

Su He pushed open the door and walked out. He looked at the winding path and saw that the back door led to the heart of the imperial city …

For a moment, there was no one left in the lobby. Everyone was trying to guess what had happened.

Everyone looked at each other as they discussed, but there was no sign of their master greeting them.

Gu Zheng surveyed his surroundings but did not see Wei Yi. Even the shadow of Su He could not be seen. This was rather strange as all the guests were present, yet there was not even a single person to welcome them.

Was this the way Wei Yi's manor treated its guests?

Gu Zheng wanted to find someone to ask, but he vaguely heard a few broken words coming from beside his ear.

”Did Mr. Wei find someone?”

”I think so. Didn't he say he was” looking for ”earlier?”

”Then do you know who you're looking for? It seems like the person you're missing must be someone extraordinary to be able to make this thousand years old red-eyed.”

”It's also the first time I've seen him like that. ”Too terrifying.”

”Who knows? But to dare to take him away on such a happy day, he must not be someone to be trifled with.”

He only heard a few words, but the more he listened, the more Gu Zheng felt that something was amiss. What finding someone, what identity was not ordinary, what kind of ordinary person … Gu Zheng was completely befuddled by what he had heard.

However, Gu Zheng's heart was also filled with doubts as he listened to their discussion.

”You don't have to say it. I'm guessing that it might even be the newly wedded wife.”

”Don't speak nonsense. Just now, the two of them knelt down and greeted each other. I think that definitely isn't the case.”

”Why not? Have you ever seen anyone who can make Wei Qiansheng lose his composure? ”

Those people were still making wild guesses when one of them was suddenly grabbed by the wrist. He seemed to be a newly appointed official who had never seen the world and was so scared that his legs went limp.

”Who's gone? ”Where's Wei Yi?” Gu Zheng hurriedly spoke, unconsciously clenching his hand tightly. The arm he was holding was deformed in his hand, causing the kid to break out in a cold sweat from the pain.

”It hurts, it hurts.” When had that person ever seen Gu Zheng act like this? The pain from his arm traveled down his nerves to the bottom of his heart, wrenching his internal organs until they hurt, as if they were about to be torn apart.
