Chapter 82 The face was scratched
It's over.
Completely finished.
System, where did you die?
This was the last thought in Gu Miao's mind before she fell into coma.
She cursed the system madly in her mind.
It's best not to upgrade successfully in this life!
——
As consciousness gradually returned, Gu Miao rubbed her swollen forehead and slowly opened her eyes.
Upon entering, it was pitch black.
After reacting, she sat up suddenly and touched her face immediately, and then touched her whole body.
His face was scratched? Not really.
Are your hands and feet intact?
Are all the organs still there?
The waist that wasn’t beaten?
No wounds on your body?
Eh?
Eh!
Gu Miao's eyes lit up, and the words the driver said to her were still fresh in her mind.
Shouldn't she be dead?
What's going on? Not only was he not dead, he didn't even have any wounds.
Has the system taken action?
She tried calling the system, but there was no answer.
"..."
Waiting for her eyes to adjust to the darkness, Gu Miao's relieved heart became anxious again.
It looks so strange here.
It has an antique design style, and the bed she sleeps on is still a Babu bed.
This style suited Jiang Qingshi, but she was sure that this was not Jiang Qingshi's home.
Gu Miao got out of bed and fumbled for a long time but couldn't find the light switch.
For a moment, she wondered if she had stepped into some ancient novel again. There shouldn't be any candles here, right?
She nervously touched her pocket and found that her cell phone was missing.
Suddenly, her hand touched something on the cabinet, and the next second the screen of the internal phone lit up with a faint light.
There's a phone!
Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief, luckily she wasn't wearing anything.
She is a science student, and history is not her strong point. Although there are many lawless gangsters in the world now, it is better than beheading someone just for the sake of beheading, right?
This phone could not contact the outside world, so she could only press 1 symbolically.
There was definitely no way to escape, so why not ask who rescued her or kidnapped her.
Since he spared her life, there must be a purpose.
Either a mule or a horse came out for a ride.
She is so good at prescribing the right medicine.
The call was quickly connected, and Gu Miao held her breath.
"Master?"
Gu Miao carefully identified the voice on the other side. She sounded a bit older, but she had no impression of it.
"Master, why did you go back to the room? Did you sneak back? Oh, the second master will be back soon. If you don't kneel down properly, why are you running around!"
"If you are discovered, you will be punished again."
Gu Miao tried hard to extract important information from the other party's words.
Young Master, kneel down as punishment.
Does the room she is in now belong to this young master?
The person opposite is still advising: "The old man is still unconscious. You go back and stay for two days. I will support you when the old man wakes up!"
"Hello? Master? Why are you silent..."
The old man was unconscious.
Second Master.
Gu Miao hung up the phone and tried to put the scattered pieces of information together.
First of all, the person who brought her here most likely knew her, otherwise he would not have locked her in the young master's room. In this case, she should also know the other person.
So among the people she knows, who has a family background that meets these conditions?
The family fortune is huge and all the male protagonists are suitable.
The voice on the phone had a strong Beijing accent, and she was still in Beijing.
Then He Zhihuai and Gu Xu are excluded.
The He family's ancestral home is not here.
Several generations of the Chi family lived together, and she remembered that the Chi family was a manor.
The Jiang family meets the conditions, but Jiang Qingshi's current legs cannot be forced to kneel.
Then only... Qi Yu is left!
The second master of the Qi family.
"Yes, yes." Gu Miao slapped her forehead.
She remembered!
Qi Yu's father was the eldest, but he died early.
There are three younger brothers under his father.
In other words, he also has three uncles. His third uncle concentrates on scientific research, while his younger uncle is in the army and is away from home all year round.
So after the old man retired from the group, it was his second uncle who was in business who took care of the family business.
In addition to the group, his second uncle almost has the final say in the family.
All right.
Gu Miao breathed a sigh of relief.
If it was Qi Yu, then the online ride-hailing car she got into... must have come to kill her.
Maybe the He family.
So, was she rescued by Qi Yu?
No way.
Judging from the content of the call just now, Qi Yu is now unable to protect himself.
Even if his people rescue her, they can't bring her here.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
Gu Miao has many questions, and she can only get the answers by finding Qi Yu.
The tone of the person on the phone just now was obviously biased towards Qi Yu. In that case——
Gu Miao called out again.
No one answered this time.
Gu Miao didn't give up and called again, but no one answered.
At this moment, there was a slight knock on the locked door.
"Is anyone here?"
Even though the other party lowered his voice, Gu Miao still recognized the person on the phone.
"Hello." She walked over.
There was silence outside for a few seconds, "Are you Miss Gu Miao?"
"...you know me?"
"This is the young master's room, but the young master has been at the Ancestor Hall these days. I thought he ran back, but I just passed by and found that he was still there."
"I checked the surveillance, and I think it should be you."
It was said to be a surveillance check, but it was actually reported by the bodyguards Qi Yu installed around Gu Miao.
It’s just that Qi Yu doesn’t know this news yet. Before he could help deliver the news, he found Gu Miao at the Qi family's old house.
The old housekeeper opened the door for her, looked at her in the moonlight outside, and asked her if she was injured.
"Did Qi Yu bring me here?"
"This..." The old housekeeper was speechless, "You should ask the young master. I'm not very clear either."
"Is he still punished by kneeling in the Ancestor Hall? Why?"
The old housekeeper smiled awkwardly, "This... you should also ask the young master."
"I'll take you there now."
"Okay, trouble."
The old house of the Qi family is a courtyard house, but Gu Miao is not sure how big it is. She followed the housekeeper and walked through the verandah for a long time before stopping.
"Can I come in?"
After all, it is the ancestral hall, and the ancestors of the Qi family are worshiped.
Out of politeness, Gu Miao still asked.
"Okay." The housekeeper smiled meaningfully, "You will also be a Qi family in the future. There is no taboo in meeting your ancestors in advance."
"?"
"But, I don't have the key here." The other party ignored her blank expression and pointed to a window above, "You have to go in through there."
"..."
In the ancestral hall, Qi Yu was lying on the ground with his arms and legs crossed, staring at the incense on the altar table in a daze.
The place is filled with smoke and an ethereal emptiness.
indistinct.
He smiled and sighed, why did he miss that little bastard a little bit.
Squeak.
The window was pushed open from the outside.
Qi Yu was not surprised at all, and slowly turned his gaze, "I didn't tell you why you came here. I brought the mattress..."
Wherever he looked, a girl dressed in white faced the moonlight, holding on to the window lattice and sitting on the window frame.
When she heard his voice, Qing Lingling's eyes slowly lowered, mixed with confusion and a hint of loss, like a fairy living in the moon palace, casting a glance at him.
The world stands still.
Just this second.
Qi Yu felt a heavy jump on the left side of his chest.
