The Gu family, Gu Cheng sat on a chair near the dining room, listening silently to Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu talking about a trivial matter for half an hour, but they didn't intend to end the topic.

On the other hand, Gu Jue was smiling, looking at Lan Shu with a natural expression, and patiently listening to the chat between Wei Qiushuang and Lan Shu, and he didn't show any strange behavior.

This dispelled Gu Cheng's doubts.

That phone call probably wasn't from Gu Jue.

And after he observed the reactions of Wei Qiushuang and his father, they didn't seem to know that Gu Jue's murder in Qingyang County was instigated by someone.

At this moment, Gu Cheng was secretly relieved.

But in the next second, the phone placed on the small table at the side of the living room suddenly rang "ringing, ringing..."

Wei Qiushuang glanced sideways, but didn't get up to answer the phone.

Seeing this, Gu Anguo immediately walked over, picked up the phone, and put it to his ear.

"Hello, who is it?"

The voice on the phone was quite loud, because the house was relatively quiet, so Gu Cheng, who was not far from the living room, could easily overhear the contents of the phone——

"It's me, Cui Youdang. The matter you asked me to investigate before is now a bit of a clue. According to the confession of those hooligans, the person who called them at the time spoke relatively standard Mandarin, so it should be from a big city. people..."

Cui Youdang continued to talk about the details on the phone, but Gu Cheng's face had become a little ugly!

"Big city? Our family has nothing to do with other big cities, so the person who wants to assassinate my son can only be from Kyoto!"

Gu Anguo looked solemn, and blurted out his guess on the spot.

This answer made Gu Cheng's face paler!

"Besides the person on the phone speaking Mandarin, according to a hooligan named Baldhead, the other party's accent sounds familiar, but I'm not sure about it." Cui Youdang added.

"Okay, I see." Gu Anguo nodded and replied with a calm expression.

As for Gu Cheng, who was not far away, his face froze at the moment.

The phrase 'the accent sounds familiar' on the phone made him so nervous that his palms were sweating!

Gu Cheng grew up in Qingyang County. He originally spoke with the accent of the county town. Later, he moved to Kyoto with his father and gradually changed to Mandarin.

He knows that even if he speaks Mandarin, there will still be some accents from his hometown in his tone of voice.

Even if I don't notice it on weekdays, some locals know more about accents, so I can more or less hear it.

It was the 'bald head' who answered the phone call Gu Cheng made back then.

He had inquired beforehand that the bald head was a well-known gangster in Qingyang County, and he was very aggressive.

But Gu Cheng didn't expect the bald head to be able to hear accents in addition to being ruthless!

Once the other party said that his mandarin had a local Qingyang County accent, the scope of his parents' investigation would be instantly narrowed, and the focus would even be on himself——

Fortunately, the call ended here. On the phone, after Cui Youdang finished speaking, Gu Anguo thanked him and said happy new year, then hung up the phone.

In the living room, Gu Cheng originally felt that his family members knew nothing about the real culprit behind Gu Jue's murder and amnesia in Qingyang County, so he came back and sat down for a while, and planned to leave soon.

But now, when the family received such a call on the New Year's Eve, Gu Cheng couldn't imagine whether there would be other calls in the future?

In the current situation, it seems that his father has sent someone to investigate the original incident.

Once he is finally found, Gu Cheng can't imagine the result!

At this moment, Gu Cheng felt fear and regret in his heart.

He was afraid of being found out.

Regarding the matter of sending people to harm Gu Jue at the beginning, I regret that I didn't select the people carefully, the people I found were too incompetent! Not sure if Gu Jue was dead, so he threw him into the river!

He also regretted that after Gu Jue returned to the capital, he didn't get rid of him again!

So much so that now it has aroused the idea of ​​the family members to investigate this matter.

In the living room, Wei Qiushuang heard the voice on the phone just now, her expression remained unchanged, she just paused for a while, and then continued to chat as if nothing had happened.

Lan Shu, on the other hand, was slightly taken aback when she heard the word 'ruffian', and the phrase 'the caller is from a big city' made her feel thoughtful.

And later Gu Anguo said, "Assassinate my son..."

Lan Shu already knew what the Gu family was looking for!

The call must have come from Qingyang County, that's why the other party said it was a 'people from a big city'.

In Qingyang County, the only thing worthy of being investigated by the Gu family was the fact that Xiaobai's head was broken and thrown into the river.

That is what Gu Anguo said, about his son being assassinated.

Lan Shu has read the novel and knows that in the book, Gu Jue is the villain, and after recovering his memory and returning home, he confronts Gu Chengzheng and fights to the end.

Based on Lan Shu's understanding of Xiaobai, he would never fight against his brother for no reason, so it must be because of something that Gu Cheng did that made Xiaobai unforgivable, so the two had a fighting plot develop.

What could Gu Cheng do before Xiaobai lost his memory that Xiaobai could not forgive?

Combining the plot logic of the novel and what she knows now, all Lan Shu can think of is the murder of Xiao Bai.

Coupled with the reminder on the phone now, the ins and outs of the whole matter were quickly linked up by Lan Shu——

Is Gu Cheng calling to pay for murder?

The original Gu Jue survived a catastrophe and lost his memory for several years. After finding out the cause of his accident, the first thing he did after returning was to seek revenge from Gu Cheng?

If that's the explanation, it all makes sense.

The conflict between Gu Jue and Gu Cheng is not clearly stated in the novel, it is written that the male lead is successful in his career, and the female lead and the male lead are loving and sweet.

But now, Lan Shu discovered some dirty things hidden under the plot.

If you don't think about these things carefully, you can't think of them at all!

At this time, Lan Shu bowed her head and responded silently, which was noticed by Xiao Bai and Wei Qiushuang.

The two didn't think much about it, they just thought that Lan Shu might be heavy and tired from sitting for a long time.

So Wei Qiushuang immediately suggested, "Shushu, why don't you go upstairs and rest for a while?"

Xiao Bai also looked at Lan Shu with concern on his face, "Go to sleep, I will call you when the meal is ready."

Lan Shu readily agreed to the kindness of her mother-in-law and her own man.

She nodded, and was helped up by Xiao Bai from the sofa, and walked upstairs.

But before going upstairs, Lan Shu glanced at Gu Cheng not far away.

Seeing that Gu Cheng's face was stiff, there was a little sweat on his forehead in the winter, and he was trying to hide his panic in his eyes——

Lan Shu already knew that her deduction should be right!
