"Master Gu, please!" Liao Cheng made a gesture and respectfully waited for Gu Chengyu to go first.
Gu Chengyu once again lamented the benefits of power and walked ahead with his hands behind his back.
"Patriarch Qu! I heard that you kidnapped Yi Yuanmin, the grandson of Patriarch Yi. I wonder where this child is now?"
Gu Chengyu is sitting at the top, Liao Cheng is sitting on the left hand side below, and Qu Huaiyun is naturally kneeling at the bottom.
"Sir! I am wronged! How could I possibly kidnap Yi Yuanmin? The treasure map of the Yi family has been stolen long ago. Why should I kidnap his grandson again?"
Qu Huaiyun grimaced. He finally thought it through now. This was the trap that Liao Cheng had set for him. Liao Cheng just wanted to monopolize the treasure map!
"Oh? But only you know this in your heart."
Gu Chengyu glanced at Qu Huaiyun and saw that he didn't look too nervous. Could it be that he was still lucky?
Maybe he is still counting on his eldest son Qu Youen? What a pity! Since Liao Cheng wants to touch the Qu family, there must be something wrong with Qu Youen, otherwise Liao Cheng would never dare to do this.
"Clan Leader Qu, if you don't tell everything you know, I won't be able to help you. Think about it! Do you think you have a way out?"
Gu Chengyu smiled, he was just going through the motions anyway.
Later, he took the opportunity to stay in the Yamen and went to Liao Cheng's study in the evening to find out.
Qu Huaiyun's body trembled when he heard this. His eyes were fixed on Gu Chengyu, and then he looked at Lu Chen.
Could it be that something happened to the boss? He collapsed to the ground, feeling like his body had been hollowed out.
"Qu Huaiyun, you have to think clearly about how many bad things your Qu family has done before? Not only will you have to bear the blame this time, but even your clan members will not be able to escape the blame."
Liao Cheng saw that Qu Huaiyun was about to collapse, so he naturally refused to let go of this opportunity.
It's just that he was afraid that Liao Cheng would talk nonsense and involve him, so he used Qu's clan members to threaten Qu Huaiyun.
He couldn't believe that Qu Huaiyun would ignore so many clan members? There were also Qu Huaiyun's grandchildren and sons here!
Qu Huaiyun suddenly raised his head when he heard this, and his eyes when he looked at Liao Cheng were filled with resentment.
This hypocritical and disgusting villain, although he was wary of Liao Cheng before, he didn't expect that Liao Cheng would turn his back and refuse to acknowledge anyone, and would step on their Qu family to climb up.
But when he thought of the other members of the Qu clan, he hesitated. He couldn't control those people, but among them were his close relatives!
Gu Chengyu saw Liao Cheng's intention and raised the corner of his mouth. He didn't know what Qu Huaiyun was thinking.
If he wanted to fight to the death, he might be able to make more confessions.
With this in mind, he planned to wait until the night was quiet to listen to the song Huaiyun again.
Qu Huaiyun fell silent, and then he said something that surprised the two of them.
"I want to explain to Mr. Gu alone!"
Gu Chengyu took a good look at Qu Huaiyun, but luckily he wasn't that stupid.
It would be useless for Qu Huaiyun to hide it for Liao Cheng. How could Liao Cheng let them go?
"Isn't this unreasonable? Mr. Gu is not here for this case. This would be too troublesome for Mr. Gu."
Liao Cheng would not let Qu Huaiyun and Gu Chengyu come into contact alone, otherwise they would definitely plot against him secretly.
Gu Chengyu also felt that it was not good for him to intervene in this case, but Qu Huaiyun was one of the people related to the treasure map!
"I have news about the treasure map that I want to tell Mr. Gu alone. Could it be that Mr. Qu is also an imperial envoy sent by the imperial court?"
Qu Huaiyun had a mocking look on his face, looking very disdainful even looking at Liao Cheng.
"Since Patriarch Qu said so, please ask Mr. Liao to avoid it!"
Gu Chengyu turned his gaze to Liao Cheng, his eyes gentle and filled with majesty that could not be rejected.
Liao Cheng threw up his sleeves and left. When passing by Qu Huaiyun, he said in a voice that only two people could hear: "Think about your grandchildren!"
Qu Huaiyun didn't even show his expression, which made Liao Cheng very angry.
"Clan Leader Qu, can you speak now?" Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl, thinking that Lu Chen standing behind him was really in the way.
"You must have known for a long time that the treasure map I gave you before was fake. I don't have time to talk in circles with you anymore, so I'll just tell you the truth!"
Qu Huaiyun calmed down and wanted to work harder to save the lives of his loved ones.
Gu Chengyu nodded and made a gesture to indicate that he should continue.
"Originally, the real treasure map was in Qu Mansion. Later, Zhi Lian secretly stole the treasure map and I discovered it. He hated me and yelled about the treasure map. As a result, the treasure map was given to others.
He snatched it away. Now that the treasure map is missing, Qu is no longer qualified to make deals with you."
"You also know the situation in the Yi family. Yi Lanshan suffered a stroke, and Yi Yuanmin is still in the hands of Liao Cheng. Even if the treasure map of the Yi family is still there, they are not willing to exchange it with Liao Cheng."
When Qu Huaiyun said this, he carefully observed Gu Chengyu's expression. Seeing that there was no surprise on Gu Chengyu's face, he only felt a chill in his heart.
This is really not simple for Mr. Gu. I am afraid that Mr. Gu already knows about these situations.
"So, you have no hope of turning your life around. Originally, the treasure map of the Qu Mansion was taken away, and you didn't get the treasure map of the Yi Mansion. Now you have brought the Qu family into it, which is simply stealing.
The chicken loses the rice, so what are you going to give me in exchange for the lives of your relatives?"
Gu Chengyu picked up the tea bowl and took a sip, feeling that Qu Huaiyun was very unsmart!
With Lu Chen still standing behind him, Qu Huaiyun confidently revealed his trump card? Wouldn't it be better if one less person knew about this kind of transaction?
Qu Huaiyun seemed to be a roundworm in Gu Chengyu's stomach at this moment. He turned his attention to Lu Chen and Ming Mo who were standing behind Gu Chengyu.
Ming Mo and the others immediately understood that since Qu Huaiyun had chains on his hands and feet, how could he hurt anyone?
Besides, they were really worried about the master's skills. With Qu Huaiyun's fat and clumsy body, it would be very difficult for him to jump up and cause harm to the master.
The two of them saluted Gu Chengyu and walked out one after another.
Only Lu Chen was still standing behind Gu Chengyu. He wanted to see what kind of deal Gu Chengyu could have with this person.
Ming Mo walked behind, and when he was approaching the door, he stopped and turned to look at Lu Chen.
"Achen! You can go out too!" Gu Chengyu smiled.
Lu Chen hasn't come to his senses yet. He doesn't have the consciousness to be a servant.
Maybe the treasure map in Qu Huaiyun's hand is still there! Of course he has to stay!
Gu Chengyu turned around and looked at Lu Chen with a half-smile.
"I know you are worried about me, but it's a pity that Chief Qu is very wary. I'm afraid he won't speak, so you should go out first!"
Gu Chengyu was a little unhappy, Lu Chen was now a servant.
What he said was already revealing his secret. How could any master explain so much to a scary person?
Sure enough, Qu Huaiyun turned his attention to Lu Chen. He looked at Lu Chen and then thought deeply. 7
