Chapter 1223

Gu Hanyuan brought Wen Qingqing back to the inn.

When he set her down.

Wen Qingqing's jade face was already flushed.

Speaking of which, the two had only booked one room.

Clearly, they were to stay together tonight.

Wen Qingqing's heart was filled with nervousness, anticipation, and panic.

It was mainly the experience at Dagong Workshop that made her a bit worried.

She even felt admiration for An Xiaohui.

However, to her surprise.

Gu Hanyuan gave a faint instruction.

"I have something to take care of, so I'm going out for a while."

He then left the room.

Wen Qingqing felt a faint sense of relief in her heart.

But more than that, it was the shame and anger at Gu Hanyuan's lack of romantic sensibility.

She muttered indignantly to herself:

"I won't help you next time!"

Wen Qingqing felt the lingering soreness on her cheeks.

And felt a bit lacking in confidence.

As soon as she thought of Gu Hanyuan's satisfied and refreshed expression at that time.

She felt an indescribable sense of accomplishment.

If she were really to give it up, she would be a bit unwilling.

For a moment, her pretty face was flushed red, filled with countless wild thoughts.

There was naturally a reason why Gu Hanyuan left Wen Qingqing behind.

Of course, this reason was merely moving from one gentle embrace to another.

The target was naturally not Ajiu.

But Jiao Wan'er.

Regarding the matter of Jiao Gongli.

Gu Hanyuan was unwilling to put in too much effort.

Especially since he was too lazy to reason and present evidence to a group of self-deceiving fools.

But he also couldn't let Yuan Chengzhi show off smoothly.

Therefore, he had to make some arrangements.

And incidentally, seize the initiative.

Otherwise, Jiao Wan'er would definitely be attracted by Yuan Chengzhi.

It would be troublesome to try to win her over later.

After all, Jiao Wan'er is the type who would choose to retreat and sacrifice for the sake of her beloved.

This sacrificial personality is both interesting and troublesome.

While it is twice as effective to threaten her, it is also very difficult to win her heart.

Gu Hanyuan didn't necessarily have to have Jiao Wan'er's heart.

It was just that leaving such a hidden danger would inevitably have a negative impact on some subsequent plans.

Gu Hanyuan traveled quickly all the way to the Golden Dragon Gang.

He soon found Jiao Wan'er's boudoir.

Just as he had expected.

Even though the night was deep.

The lamp in Jiao Wan'er's room was still lit.

Gu Hanyuan sneaked into it quietly.

He saw the woman in the room staring blankly with a sorrowful expression.

It was none other than Jiao Wan'er.

Jiao Wan'er was very beautiful, with a melon-seed face, a high nose bridge, and quite a heroic spirit.

Just from her appearance.

It would make people subconsciously feel that she was a woman who was gentle on the outside but firm on the inside.

In reality, her gentleness on the outside and firmness on the inside had limits.

It was just well-hidden.

Jiao Wan'er was now in her own room.

Naturally, there was no need to hide her weakness.

Her pretty eyebrows were tightly furrowed on that beautiful and gentle face.

She looked troubled and distressed.

Her troubles naturally stemmed from her father, Jiao Gongli.

Although Jiao Gongli considered himself to be upright and honest, with a clear conscience.

But people often only care about the surface.

No matter how reasonable Jiao Gongli's reasons for killing Min Ziye back then were.

Without evidence in hand, he would only end up with no way to defend himself.

With Jiao Wan'er's intelligence.

She could even infer some of his thoughts from Jiao Gongli's expression and tone.

If things became impossible to handle by then.

Jiao Gongli would definitely choose to commit suicide to prove his innocence.

However, once a person dies, the light goes out.

Who would still care whether you are innocent or not?

Jiao Wan'er was merely a weak woman with low Wu Gong.

Her younger brother was still young, only seven or eight years old.

Her senior brother, Luo Liru, had not learned much of Jiao Gongli's skills.

His Wu Gong was mediocre.

Once Jiao Gongli died.

How long could the weak Golden Dragon Gang maintain itself in this area filled with mixed characters without being swallowed up?

Therefore, Jiao Wan'er's trouble was not just grief for Jiao Gongli, but also panic about the future.

Jiao Wan'er's mood was low.

Suddenly, a teasing voice rang out.

"Deep-night worries are the most damaging to the spirit; it would be a pity if you ruined Miss Jiao's beauty by staying up."

Jiao Wan'er was shocked upon hearing this.

She looked toward the source of the sound.

And saw a man in white with a playful smile on his lips.

Jiao Wan'er was startled.

The person who arrived was unexpectedly handsome.

Not to mention the slightly dull and stiff Luo Liru.

She had never seen anyone who could look this good.

Perhaps it was the basic favorability brought by high attractiveness.

Jiao Wan'er's vigilance actually decreased a bit.

Along with it, her voice couldn't help but lower.

As if she were worried about startling others.

"Who are you? Why did you enter my boudoir?"
