They have gone straight to the inner courtyard, but they can't just break into the girl's boudoir, right?
Mingmo nodded, stepped forward and typed the four-short-and-two-long code, which had been discussed before.
Guo Moruo, who was inside the house, suddenly woke up when he heard a gentle knock on the door.
Ever since the accident happened to the Guo family, she has been having trouble sleeping at night and is easily awakened.
When she heard that her benefactor was coming to Hejian Mansion, she didn't dare to sleep soundly these days, just looking forward to her benefactor's arrival!
Guo Moruo hurriedly put on his clothes and lit a candle. Then he looked at himself and made sure there was nothing rude before he stepped forward and opened the door.
Seeing the candlelight lighting up in the room, Gu Chengyu knew that the people in the room had been awakened.
Through the faint moonlight outside the house, Guo Moruo found that there were only two black figures wearing night clothes outside.
She looked suffocated and did not speak, but turned around and entered the house first.
"Miss Guo, you're all right! I'm here late at night, and I hope you'll be honest."
After Gu Chengyu and the others entered the house, they closed the door tightly.
Gu Chengyu took a look at the little girl in front of him, but after not seeing him for a few months, the little girl was much thinner than before.
I don't know if it's because I'm suffering from cramps or because of the great changes in my family.
However, it seems that his spirit is not decadent. It may be that he has to raise his young brother and has something to rely on in life.
Although she was not wearing mourning clothes due to her status, she was wearing a moon-white double-breasted jacket and a lotus-colored pleated skirt, which made her look really pure.
"Little girl pays homage to her benefactor!"
Guo Moruo's originally round face had become thinner than an oval face, and she looked at Gu Chengyu in a daze.
Although she couldn't see her benefactor's face, she smelled a familiar herbal fragrance.
Although the scent was only faint, as if it was there or not, she was extremely sure that the thin figure in front of her was her benefactor.
Her sense of smell is very sensitive, so she has loved playing with rouge and gouache since she was a child.
For this reason, her mother told her several times that she could only play with it occasionally.
The legitimate daughter of an official family does not make a living from this, so it is better to learn more about playing chess, calligraphy and painting.
The herbal smell on the benefactor's body does not seem to be incense, but should be related to medicinal materials.
It's just that she doesn't know what medicinal materials it is. She had limited access to medicinal materials when making rouge gouache before.
Gu Chengyu didn't know that he often played with medicinal materials in the space, and the fragrance on his body was smelled by Guo Moruo.
"Thank you so much for your continued care. My little girl really has nothing to repay."
Guo Moruo was absolutely sincere when he said this. No matter what deal the person in front of him had with his family, the other party had already complied with his original promise.
After this incident, the other party could have crossed the river and burned the bridge, but the other party did not do so.
Therefore, this was the main reason why she decided to reciprocate the favor. This person valued commitment, and although her grandfather had some backup plans, she was still unwilling to do so.
It doesn't matter that she is a woman. But what about the two younger brothers? They can't just live on the little money left by their grandfather, right?
"Miss Guo, there is no need to be polite. This is what I promised before, and I will definitely not break the contract. I came here this time to ask Miss Guo to tell me about the treasure map. I wonder how much Miss Guo knows?"
Gu Chengyu waved his hand, saying he didn't want to mention what happened before.
His time was limited, so before he came, he blew some smoke into Lu Chen's room to make sure that Lu Chen had been knocked out before he could appear here.
It was just that Lu Chen was shrewd and took action himself, which did not arouse Lu Chen's vigilance.
But they shouldn't be out for too long, otherwise Lu Chen will definitely notice the difference in his body tomorrow.
After all, it is simply impossible for a cautious person to fall asleep so deeply just after arriving in a new environment. The first person to be suspicious of will be himself.
But what Gu Chengyu didn't expect was that shortly after he and Ming Mo left, a masked man came to the room where Lu Chen was.
Just when he was about to wake up Lu Chen, he was blocked by Ming Yan who was monitoring the small courtyard, and the two of them were fighting together instantly.
"My little girl must know everything! At that time, the treasure map was divided into two, half of which fell into the hands of Yi, and the other half disappeared. And the bodyguard was nowhere to be found, as if he had disappeared overnight.
The world disappeared, and the treasure map also disappeared."
The mass murder case was a sensation at that time, and later news about the treasure map was leaked.
Among them, half of the cards in the hands of Cao Daniu's cousin had been taken away by Yi, and the escort was probably caught by someone, but her ability was limited and she could not find out the whereabouts of the half of the cards.
"Young lady, you mean half of them are in the hands of the Yi family?" Gu Chengyu was a little surprised. The other two families didn't take action, but the Yi family took the lead.
But he had also learned about the Yi family before. Even if the Yi family secretly accumulated strength and was not as depressed as it appeared, it was still not as powerful as the other two families.
He pondered for a moment and felt that the Yi family should have reached cooperation with some major force.
Otherwise, it would have been impossible for the Yi family to obtain the treasure map so easily.
But now is not the time to think about this. Gu Chengyu then asked: "What about the escort's family?"
"He disappeared overnight. The neighbors didn't even hear any noise. There was nothing unusual at home, and the belongings at home were intact."
Guo Moruo shook his head. In fact, he didn't need to guess at all to know that something had happened to the escort.
Maybe the escort's family would be dead now, she sighed.
This escort is also a fool. How can he get such a thing? This treasure map is a life-threatening talisman in his hands.
He could only blame himself for being greedy, which not only killed the owner of the treasure map, but also cost him the lives of his entire family.
"What's going on at the escort office?"
He didn't know there was a treasure map before, so he didn't let anyone inquire about it.
It was Guo Moruo who told him about the treasure map. Guo Moruo should know more about what happened before than his subordinates.
"The escort left the escort agency the day before the murder and never went back after that."
Guo Moruo felt a little uneasy. In fact, she didn't know much. She looked at her benefactor carefully.
Because I can't see my benefactor's expression, I don't know whether he is satisfied or dissatisfied.
Gu Chengyu nodded. According to Guo Moruo's ability, it was not easy to find out so much information.
Although the whereabouts of the other half are unknown, he knows where half of them are, so that can be considered a gain.
"Thank you very much for your help, girl, I'm very grateful to you!"
"It is my honor to serve my benefactor!"
Guo Moruo breathed a sigh of relief. As long as her benefactor accepted her love, he would not refuse her directly if she asked for help in the future.
She guessed that the person behind her benefactor must be powerful. Otherwise, why would her benefactor come to Hejian Mansion in person?
Even if money and silk are attractive to people, the people involved in the fight for the treasure map are not ordinary people. Without a prominent background, who would dare to wade into this muddy water? 11
