Chapter 1893 - 1896: Sheng Sheng Has a Bold Heart! (Part 3)
The two exchanged glances from a distance. Gu Qianqian casually looked away, slightly tilted her head, and said to Gu Shaocheng, "Brother, goodbye."
Gu Shaocheng stood still: "No rush."
Chao Lu had already walked up to them, nodded slightly to Gu Shaocheng, and said, "Mr. Gu, we meet again."
Gu Shaocheng smiled indifferently: "What a coincidence."
"I came specifically to pick up Miss Qianqian." Chao Lu did not hide his intentions, and his gaze towards Gu Qianqian contained an inexplicable and unbreakable obsession.
"My sister isn’t that easy to pursue." Gu Shaocheng took out his car keys, pressed a button, and with a beep, he arrogantly raised an eyebrow, then said to Gu Qianqian, "Want to get in my car?"
Gu Qianqian barely curved her lips, received Chao Lu’s hinting glance to refuse, yet she opened the car door herself: "Sure."
Then, she climbed in without hesitation and immediately closed the door.
Gu Shaocheng swiftly took the driver’s seat, rolled down the window, and said to Chao Lu standing outside the car, "I heard Qianqian mention you were once a servant to the Gu Family?"
Chao Lu corrected Gu Shaocheng’s words: "I was once Miss Qianqian’s personal bodyguard, not part of the Gu Family structure."
"Interesting." Gu Shaocheng chuckled, then closed the window and started the car.
Chao Lu’s car followed Gu Shaocheng’s at a leisurely pace.
Gu Qianqian looked at the rearview mirror, satisfied, a smile curved on her lips, eyes revealing a hint of joy.
"What’s this person’s character like?"
"I don’t know; we’re not familiar. I only remember the L from childhood, who was a bodyguard sworn to protect me, someone my father arranged by my side. Their character is generally reliable, their skills not lacking, and he belongs to the very capable kind. In my memory, L was more about action than words. As for the current Chao Lu..." Gu Qianqian paused and said, "I’m still observing."
Gu Shaocheng freed a hand to pat her shoulder, "Whether he’s L or not, disappearing for years then reappearing, one needs to be cautious; women tend to act emotionally."
"Is Brother afraid I’m not cautious?" Gu Qianqian shrugged, "Once bitten by a snake, twice shy. I won’t make the same mistake twice, or I wouldn’t be worthy of being a Gu Family woman."
Gu Family women are never naive, nor are they easily deceived.
Gu Shaocheng said no more, only faintly curved his lips. When Gu Shaocheng intentionally makes things difficult for someone, they can only deal with it. He drove the car directly into the Gu Family’s inner courtyard, and upon getting out, he held the car keys: "Your sister-in-law is quite bored at home, go keep her company."
Gu Qianqian smiled to herself, "Alright, I’ll go see Zun Zun and Sheng Sheng."
Gu Shaocheng returned to the study, first finding the butler, then asked some old servants who had been loyal to the Gu Family for years.
"Sir, are you saying L is still alive?" The butler was surprised.
Gu Shaocheng nodded: "Perhaps it’s the Chao Lu who came by a few days ago. Does he seem familiar?"
"Chao Lu..." the butler mused over the name. He had only seen Chao Lu once, recalled only his impressive skills, and wondered, "Doesn’t look similar."
"Qianqian said he had surgery, maybe he had his face ruined before."
The butler: "..."
Gu Shaocheng pulled out a cigarette, lit it: "Tell me about this L."
The dossier on L was right on his desk. Gu Shaocheng held the cigarette in one hand and flipped through the dossier with the other.
