Then, Yu Shuo somehow ended up confronting Qin Zihao, and the two started fighting.

Yu Shuo wasn’t injured, but Qin Zihao was hospitalized after being hit by him.

The call came from Jiang Hanyi.

The person speaking to Gu Jin was nearly in tears, and their tone was somewhat chaotic.

The gist was that Yu Shuo had been living too recklessly and decadently lately, and the Yu Family, including those from the Cabinet, couldn’t control him.

Tonight, Yu Shuo fought with Qin Zihao and disappeared in the blink of an eye, leaving no trace that anyone could follow.

Chen Palace had already dispatched quite a bit of manpower to search for him.

So far, there’s been no information whatsoever.

Calling Yu Shuo’s phone also results in no connection.

They weren’t afraid of anything else; they were just worried that the Qin Family might secretly harm Yu Shuo.

Gu Jin turned on the light, got up, put on a silk robe, wore slippers, and walked to the window.

Outside the window were silent mountains, with the sounds of insects and birds entering her ears.

Gu Jin picked up the water cup on the table and took a sip.

“Master, if this continues, Yu Shuo will be ruined!”

Jiang Hanyi’s heavy voice transmitted through the phone into Gu Jin’s ear.

After the other party finished speaking, Gu Jin asked, “Why did Yu Shuo fight with the Qin Family?”

“Seems like it was over some car race, Qin Zihao used underhanded tactics and nearly caused someone’s death.”

Gu Jin thought there was no real issue: “Then shouldn’t the Qin Family be taught a lesson? Yu Shuo fighting them isn’t wrong.”

Apparently disturbed by her words, Jiang Hanyi was silent for a moment before saying softly, “Master, did I forget to tell you that Yu Shuo crippled Qin Zihao’s leg?”

Gu Jin licked her lips: “You didn’t say that.”

She was sure Jiang Hanyi hadn’t mentioned it before.

“Now the Qin Family has already caused a scene at Chen Palace. They want to see Han Yong’an, but the Cabinet can’t stop them. They have free passes to Chen Palace given by Han Yong’an.”

Talking about this matter, Jiang Hanyi was troubled.

The Cabinet couldn’t suppress the Qin Family, let alone the Yu Family.

The Yu Family is now searching for Yu Shuo all over Beijing, afraid that he might face some mishap.

Gu Jin furrowed her eyebrows slightly: “The Qin Family causing such a big scene clearly shows they had a premeditated plan to find an excuse to contact Han Yong’an.”

One must know, Han Yong’an is currently under house arrest at Chen Palace.

The average person simply can’t meet him.

Jiang Hanyi echoed her concerns: “Who wouldn’t agree? But what can be done about a premeditated plan? Things have already escalated to this point.”

Gu Jin remembered An Mingji had said before leaving Beijing, he left manpower to protect the Yu Family.

She reassured Jiang Hanyi: “I’ll make a call, wait for my update.”

“Okay—”

Gu Jin hung up the phone, walked out of the bedroom, and headed straight for the room next door.

“Knock knock!”

She knocked on the door somewhat urgently.

“Come in.”

A lazy, blurred voice came from inside the room.

Gu Jin opened the door and walked in.

The room was dimly lit, and Gu Jin only saw a figure sitting up on the bed.

Judging by the person’s arm movements, it seemed they were rubbing their eyes.

Gu Jin said, “I’ll turn on the light.”

“Okay.” An Mingji was clearly awakened, his voice husky and deep.

Gu Jin turned on the light, and the once dark room suddenly became bright.

Sitting on the bed, without wearing a shirt, An Mingji was openly exposed to Gu Jin’s eyes.

He had broad shoulders and a narrow waist, with an absolutely perfect figure.

With just one glance, Gu Jin averted her gaze.

She focused on An Mingji’s exquisite face, which had a faint look of being tired, yet was so stunningly handsome it was almost distracting.

An Mingji knew that given the late hour, Gu Jin definitely had something urgent: “What happened?”

He didn’t get out of the bed, under the blankets, he was only wearing shorts.

Gu Jin approached the side of the bed: “Before coming to Yazhou, didn’t you leave people in Beijing to protect the Yu Family and the Wanqi Family?”

“Yes, something happened in Beijing?”

An Mingji’s senses were still extremely sharp.

Gu Jin nodded to him: “Yu Shuo got into a fight with the Qin Family, and now he’s missing.”

An Mingji’s fatigued expression gradually cleared as he lay on the bed and reached for the phone on the nightstand.

With this movement, the blanket was tugged along.

Unintentionally, revealing the scenery under the blanket, his long and perfect body faintly visible.

Gu Jin clearly saw the color of the shorts the young man was wearing.

They were dark blue.

This color accentuated An Mingji’s skin, making it appear very white.

An Mingji took the phone and immediately adjusted his position, skillfully making a call.

The call was connected quickly.

An Mingji asked coldly, “Linda, where is Yu Shuo now?”

“Family Head, he’s drinking on the athletic field of Shengshi Academy.”

Linda’s tone was respectful, with a hint of caution.

Once the call was connected, An Mingji had activated the speakerphone.

Gu Jin also heard Linda’s words, and she leaned forward to ask over the phone, “How far are you from Yu Shuo right now?”

“About ten meters away.” Linda seemed to tense up more upon hearing the future mistress’s voice.

Gu Jin said, “Go get him to answer the phone.”

“Yes, Miss Gu.”

Heavy footsteps transmitted through the receiver, intentionally amplified by Linda.

“Ah, you really are dedicated to your duty!”

Yu Shuo’s teasing voice came from the phone, very quiet, directed at Linda.

Judging by his tone, he must have been aware of Linda’s presence for a while.

“Miss Gu wants you to answer the phone.”

Linda handed the phone to the man stubbornly clutching a bottle of wine.

Miss Gu?

Yu Shuo’s initially drunken and dazed expression momentarily became blank, then immediately turned serious.

“My master?” He mouthed words silently without sound, asking Linda.

The latter nodded gently to him.

Yu Shuo promptly released the wine bottle from his hand, took the phone Linda offered, speaking with an exceptionally obedient and flattering tone: “Master, it’s so late, you haven’t rested yet?”

Gu Jin chuckled coldly: “I really wanted a peaceful sleep, but some people just can’t help themselves, making a mess in the middle of the night and disappearing, worrying everyone.”

With this pointed comment, Yu Shuo broke out in cold sweat.

“No, no, Master, let me explain, I didn’t…”

Gu Jin didn’t care to listen to his excuses: “I only ask you one thing, were you prepared for the confrontation with the Qin Family?”

Yu Shuo’s eager explanation came to an abrupt halt.

After a while, his voice was heard from the phone.

“Yes, Han Yong’an was always ambitious, but he colluded with the people of the Short Country, causing all the families in Beijing to distance themselves from him. The Qin Family is his final ally.”

Gu Jin thought to herself, she knew Yu Shuo wouldn’t just let things go and stir up such a mess without reason.

As far as her three disciples go, each one is extraordinary.

Despite Yu Shuo’s young age, he is her oldest disciple, and she knows him quite well.

With the answer she wanted, Gu Jin asked again: “So, all this was within your plan, right?”

“Yes, Master.”

“Alright, that’s it, go on drinking your wine. If you run out, ask Linda to buy you more.”

After saying this, Gu Jin decisively hung up the call.

Then, she sat on An Mingji’s bed, opened his phone contacts, found Jiang Hanyi’s number, and dialed it.
