Cheng Lu picked it up and looked at it, his pupils tightened.
This is the set of ruby concentric locks that Mr. Li gave to her and Gu Ci before.
Her piece had been put in the jewelry box a long time ago. Didn't you expect that Gu Ci would carry it with him?
I reached out and touched it gently, feeling sticky on my fingertips.
--is blood!
She became panicked and looked out the window again. It was empty and there was no sound outside.
She couldn't help but squeeze the half of the concentric lock tightly, and forced herself to calm down - Gu Ci will be fine, definitely!
That night was destined to be tossing and turning, and she was half asleep and half awake until the first ray of sunlight outside the window shone into the room.
It's a new day again.
After breakfast, Gu Feng came again.
Unlike yesterday's arrogance and arrogance, this time she was very polite and even knocked on the door symbolically.
"Miss Cheng, please come out. I have something to tell you."
Cheng Lu opened the door, and there were still two secret guards standing on the left and right sides of the door.
Seeing that the secret guard was still there, she breathed a sigh of relief.
These secret guards are all following Gu Ci. They have not changed. Presumably nothing big happened to Gu Ci.
"What's up?"
She opened the door just a little.
Seeing how vigilant she was, a flash of displeasure flashed through Gu Feng's eyes.
"Haha, why are you so afraid of me? If you are afraid, it should be me who is afraid of you, right?" Gu Feng waved her hand, and her fingers were dyed with a new color, making them more delicate and beautiful like a rainbow.
It's really interesting. Her father just passed away, and this Miss Gu still had the leisure to get her nails done.
Cheng Lu took in everything.
"Miss Gu was joking. If there's nothing else, I'm going to close the door."
"Wait a minute!" Gu Feng was anxious, "Do you want to leave here?"
"No one likes to be tied to a place that doesn't belong to them." She raised her eyebrows slightly.
"Very good." Gu Feng nodded with satisfaction, "As long as you sign this, I can let you go. You will have nothing to do with our Gu family from now on. As for my father's death - naturally it has nothing to do with you."
Cheng Lu's eyes fell on the piece of paper in her hand.
——Very good, it’s a divorce agreement.
Gu Feng shook the thin pieces of paper: "Sign a divorce with Gu Ci, and you will be free. And I also found out that you married Gu Ci to pay off debts. Now that you are divorced, you have no debt.
Isn’t it nice to be light and still be able to pick yourself off cleanly?”
Cheng Lu took the divorce agreement and read it carefully.
Gu Feng: "As long as you sign, everything written on it will be yours."
There was temptation in her tone.
Cheng Lu raised his eyes greedily: "They're all mine?"
"Of course, although your Cheng family has some wealth, it is not as good as the Gu family, let alone Gu Ci." Gu Feng sneered, "You are not worthy of Gu Ci anyway, why not take the benefits and leave, wouldn't it be better?"
Cheng Lu's face was full of joy, and he seemed to be eager to give it a try in the next second: "But... why is the reason for the divorce above... I was ordered by Gu Ci to murder Mr. Gu?"
Gu Feng paused for a moment: "Isn't that just a reason? Don't worry, my father has been cremated, and there will be a funeral in the next two days. There are no people around, so how can I threaten you with this again? I didn't like you before, too.
I think you are not worthy of the Gu family. Now as long as you sign your name, we will keep your peace."
As she said that, she took a step forward and gently patted Cheng Lu's shoulder with one hand.
"I've given you so many things, why are you still hesitating?"
"But... Gu Ci didn't sign, so the marriage still cannot be divorced."
"Don't worry, Gu Ci is dealing with his grandfather's death and is too busy to take care of it for the moment. This is what he brought to me for you to sign. After all, we are a husband and wife, and we don't want to be too sad when we say goodbye."
Gu Feng pretended to wipe the corners of his eyes, "You are the suspect who killed my father. Now a way out is in front of you. You should hurry up."
Cheng Lu lowered his eyelids, and his face cleared up after a while.
"Does it mean that if I sign this, I can go home?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Then - you won't make things difficult for me anymore?"
Gu Feng nodded like a fool: "Absolutely."
Cheng Lu breathed a sigh of relief: "I sign, I sign, I sign now."
Gu Feng immediately handed over a pen and watched Cheng Lu immersed himself in signing the signature, her eyes filled with a cold smile.
Humph, after all she is a little girl who is only twenty-three years old.
So what happens if you get married once?
No wonder Xu Guanzhou treated her as an idiot before.
Even if you win the International Pharmacist Competition, will you still be held in the palm of the Gu family?
"I've signed it! Can I leave now?" Cheng Lu raised his face.
Gu Feng nodded arrogantly and then looked at the secret guard next to him: "Well, the divorce agreement has been signed. No matter how strong Gu Ci is, he can't let her go, right?"
The secret guard acted as if he had not heard anything and was still standing at the door.
Gu Feng felt that he could not save his face, so he said a few more words before appeasing Cheng Lu: "Forget it, you stay here for now. I will send the divorce agreement to Gu Ci and ask him to remove these secret guards personally."
"Miss Gu, you don't keep your word, do you? I've signed the divorce agreement, you can't let me go."
Cheng Lu was extremely anxious, as if he was afraid that he would have any more relationship with Gu Ci.
Gu Feng was completely satisfied now. A woman who couldn't wait to leave was nothing to be afraid of.
She agreed wholeheartedly: "Okay, don't worry."
The door closed again, and Gu Feng left proudly.
In the room, the innocence on Cheng Lu's face disappeared. She walked to the window and watched Gu Feng's brisk figure leave coldly. Then she picked up a recording needle at hand and opened it gently.
This was the gadget that Gu Ci gave her before.
It is said to be the latest research of Haofeng Group.
As long as she sticks the connected transparent chip where she needs it, and then turns on the recording needle, she can hear everything happening where the chip is.
Just now, when she was signing the divorce agreement, a transparent chip was stuck to her fingertips and pressed against the signature.
After a rustling sound in her ears, she heard Gu Feng's voice.
"Hmph, everything is settled. After all, she is a little girl. After being imprisoned for two days, she became confused. She is really a fool. I don't know why Gu Ci is so crazy. He doesn't want anyone, but he just likes such a woman."
Another voice followed: "Did she sign?"
"Hmm, with this, we don't have to worry about being able to persuade him! My wife admitted that he was the mastermind behind my father's death. If this news breaks out, let's see how he can take our Gu family's property!"
Gu Feng was very proud.
Cheng Lu's eyes darkened.
So that’s it.
No wonder Gu Ci wanted to protect her here, the outside was never as calm as she understood.
This dog man will always regard her as a dodder flower. When wind and rain come, he will always protect her.
Cheng Lu looked out the window and murmured to himself: "I'm afraid I'm going to let you down this time."
