Chapter 149

He had gone to great lengths to snatch Qi Fang back then, never expecting such a result in the end.

"Since the transaction is complete, I will be leaving first. I will come to see Qi Fang again when I have time."

Gu Hanyuan laughed playfully.

The two felt their faces darken; although there was progress on the secret of the treasure, it was still nowhere to be found. And they had paid Qi Fang for it—truly losing the wife and the army.

Gu Hanyuan saw their expressions and knew what they were thinking, musing that Ling Tuisi should have a lot in common with them.

Sure enough, getting a free ride makes me happy.

He looked back at Qi Fang, and after seeing her blush, he used his lightness skill and vanished before any of the three could react...

Seeing Wan Gui walk over, Qi Fang's expression turned from red to black, and she took the initiative to attack before he could speak.

"What are you still coming over for!"

"Fang'er, listen to my explanation."

Wan Gui wanted to step forward and grab Qi Fang's hand, but she dodged him.

"Pah! I don't have a husband like you."

Wan Gui's expression was gloomy; although he knew Qi Fang would be angry, being accused to his face still made him feel he couldn't hold his head up.

Wan Zhenshan came over to smooth things over.

"Good daughter-in-law, don't blame Gui'er; this was all for the treasure. Think about it, if we can obtain the treasure, won't you have a share of the glory and wealth from now on?"

Qi Fang listened to Wan Zhenshan's shameless words, feeling her worldview shattering, and finally saw what kind of people this father and son were.

Seeing Qi Fang remain silent, Wan Zhenshan continued to persuade:

"Good daughter-in-law, since Wutian knows the method to crack the password, he must also know the whereabouts of the 'Tang Poetry Anthology'. Go and play along with him, see if you can ask him something. You are the daughter-in-law of our Wan family, and you must contribute to the Wan family. Don't worry, Gui'er will definitely treat you well in the future. If he dares to despise you, your father-in-law will definitely stand up for you."

Qi Fang was shaken upon hearing Wan Zhenshan's words, because last night Gu Hanyuan had taken a copy of the 'Tang Poetry Anthology' from her; it must be the clue to the treasure they were seeking.

Looking at the faces of the Wan Zhenshan father and son, she had no intention of telling them the truth, instead feeling that although Gu Hanyuan was bad, he was bad in a real way.

Compared to the shameless father and son, Gu Hanyuan was actually more trustworthy.

"Fine, but give little Kongxincai back to me."

Seeing Qi Fang agree, Wan Zhenshan was about to show joy, but upon hearing she wanted little Kongxincai, his expression became uncertain.

Little Kongxincai was the best bargaining chip to control Qi Fang; she definitely couldn't be returned to her.

"Fang'er, it's not that we don't trust you, but you are now shouldering a heavy responsibility, and it's inconvenient to have little Kongxincai with you. Why don't you wait until you find out the whereabouts of the 'Tang Poetry Anthology', and then we will return little Kongxincai to you."

Qi Fang showed a look of pain; little Kongxincai was the granddaughter and daughter of these two, yet she was being used to threaten her.

But she couldn't give up on little Kongxincai, so she had to agree, while thinking in her heart if she could seek help from Gu Hanyuan.

After all, he was quite obsessed with little Kongxincai's food.

Qi Fang thought shyly.
