Chapter 142 The search was fruitless

Gu Kaiqi was still weighing the pros and cons, but when he saw Gu Mingan agreed on the spot without thinking, as if he was expected to find Ruyi from Cheng Yan's house. He was so confident that Gu Kaiqi could not help but feel even more suspicious.

Since the parties involved felt that it was okay, Gu Kaiqi couldn't say anything else, so he sighed helplessly: "Okay, just follow what Yun Ji said."

"Then let's go now, search and end early, so as not to delay your class." After saying that, Gu Kaiqi was about to turn around and go to the inner courtyard room.

"Should you wait." Gu Yunji stepped forward and stopped his movements. "To prevent Ming'an's cousin regretted denying it at that time, I think it's better to invite grandfather over to be a witness. What do you think?"

Gu Kaiqi took a deep breath and frowned slightly: "Yun Ji, don't you believe in the Fourth Uncle? Isn't it enough to relieve you?"

"It's not that I don't believe in the fourth uncle, but that I don't believe in cousin Ming'an." As Gu Kaiqi's questioning gaze, Gu Yunji lowered his head slightly, and his attitude was neither humble nor arrogant. "Ming'an's cousin is clever and eloquent, and is best at making troubles. In the world,

There are few who can compete with him, because Yun Ji is afraid that the Fourth Uncle will not be able to resist it."

Gu Mingan made so many preparations before this, so that he could stomp Cheng Yan hard to death. If nothing was found in the end, it was hard to guarantee that he would not go crazy and bite him on the spot. If he was really shameless and unwilling to apologize.

Gu Kaiqi had no choice but to do anything to him.

"Gu Yunji! What are you talking about?" Gu Mingan was furious when he heard this and immediately wanted to pull Gu Yunji's collar, "Who do you think is to turn the black and white and mess around!"

Gu Yunji pinched his arm, pushed him back with the opportunity, and said coldly: "What's wrong with you?"

"You!" Gu Mingan was pushed to the point of staggering by him, and did not dare to come forward rashly, and turned to complain to Gu Kaiqi, "Fourth Uncle, Gu Yunji is so arrogant, don't you care about it?"

"Enough! You can calm down!" Gu Kaiqi was so angry that his forehead leaped abruptly. He shouted at him with unbearable roar, pinching his eyebrows with headache and not speaking.

After slowly breathing, Gu Kaiqi calmed down his emotions, turned to the servant and ordered: "Come on, go and invite the old man to the backyard guest room."

A moment later, outside the guest room where Cheng Yan lived.

After hearing the whole story, Gu Zhengde, the old man of the Gu family, did not change any expression. His quiet eyes swept across everyone present one by one. The aura of the superiors who had been in the officialdom for half a lifetime was unconsciously released. His majesty and sharpness made Gu Yunji's breathing slightly stagnant.

The eyes stopped on Gu Yunji. Thinking of what he proposed to ask Gu Mingan to apologize, Gu Zhengde's eyes darkened slightly, but he didn't say anything. He calmly closed his eyes and raised his hand to point at the guest room.

It means: "It is useless to say more than one result before finding it. Let's start right."

After receiving clear instructions, several capable servants standing by the side immediately stepped forward, strided across Chengyan's house, and quickly searched around.

The cabinet was savagely pulled open, the mattress was thrown mercilessly on the ground, and the clothes, shoes and socks were thrown everywhere. These servants were trying to search for Ruyi so that they would not care whether Cheng Yan's things were damaged. They were quick and rude.

The objects in the house were scattered, and the sound of ping-pong was constantly coming, which attracted maids and servants passing by outside the door to stop and peek in secret.

Cheng Yan's heart was raised high, hanging empty and empty, and his eyes followed the movements of the servants, for fear that they would find any bad results, so nervous that their palms were covered in sweat.

When he was uneasy, Cheng Yan suddenly felt that his collar was gently pulled. He turned his head in surprise and just hit Gu Yunji's confident eyes. The other party's eyebrows raised slightly, and he leaned against his ear and whispered: "Don't worry."

, nothing will happen."

Cheng Yan pulled the corner of his lips and smiled reluctantly, but his worries remained unreduced. Even though he didn't find anything in the end, even though he successfully proved his innocence, even though Gu Yunji stood firmly on his side... but then there was

What's the use? The gap between his status and the Gu family is here. Now that things have come to this point, he cannot escape unscathed.

Gu Mingan, who was standing proudly, stood outside the door and looked in tiptoe, fearing that they would miss it, and said, "But be careful and don't let go of a corner. Under this table, the box over there

, and behind the door, look for it carefully!”

As he said that, his eyes were vague and he reminded him unintentionally: "...especially on the bed, if you can't say it, you'll hide it in the dark cubicle at the head of the bed..."

The servants acted according to their words and carefully searched every place carefully, and even the gaps wide by their fingers did not fall.

A quarter of an hour later, after searching, the head servant walked up and bowed to Gu Zhengde and replied: "Go back to the old master, I found nothing, and Ruyi was not in Mr. Cheng's room."

For a moment, everyone looked different.

Cheng Yan breathed a sigh of relief, Gu Yunji was not surprised. Gu Kaiqi's face showed worries again when he relaxed. Gu Zhengde's eyes moved slightly, and his expression only slightly sank, making people unable to see what he was thinking.

Only Gu Mingan's reaction was the most intense. Hearing this, his eyes suddenly widened, and the pride on his face instantly collapsed. The determination and calmness just now disappeared. He rudely pushed away the servants blocking him and broke into the house regardless of concern;

"Impossible... This is impossible! How could it be that there is no one? You must have missed it..."

Gu Mingan went straight to the head of the bed, bent down and reached into the gap in the bed frame, groped for a while, pulled out a secret box from it, opened it and saw that it was empty.

Gu Mingan tossed and turned the empty box and looked at it again and again, his eyes full of disbelief, his hands trembled violently, and he murmured: "It's gone... Ruyi is gone... It's over, it's really over..."

Gu Kaiqi's face looked a little ugly and scolded: "No, it's not, why are you stubborn? Why don't you come out quickly!"

Faced with Gu Kaiqi's reprimand, Gu Mingan seemed to have not heard of it, and threw the box onto the bed, and unwilling to search for other places. His movements were just messy, exposing his panic in his heart.

Compared to Cheng Yan's failure to plant the dirty, Ruyi disappeared is the real straw that crushed Gu Ming'an to death. If the imperial gift was lost, the blame was made by the superiors, and the entire Gu family in Songjiang would suffer, and the first person to be affected was Gu Ming'an.

He couldn't search around, but Gu Ming'an's face was pale, and a huge coldness quietly climbed up his back. In an instant, his hands and feet were cold, and he collapsed on the ground with a weak look, with a look of despair in his eyes.

At this moment, a clear voice sounded and fell into Gu Ming'an's ears, as if redeemed and urged him to do so: "Cousin Ming'an, are you looking for this?"

Gu Yunji outside the door was shrouded in the sun. He held a brocade box in his arms at some point. He raised his right hand high, holding something in his hand, which shone with a warm luster under the sun's illumination - it was

The agarwood inlaid with jade Ruyi from the imperial gift.
