He was worried that after pondering for a while, the ancestor still hadn’t figured it out and was still thinking about going to beat someone up...

“Ancestor, you definitely shouldn’t go beat anyone up. If people find out, it will really bring trouble to your sister. How about this? I’ll find a hacker overseas to track this matter?”

“That’s true. Being seen wouldn’t be good for my sister,” Gu Jinyan’s eyes flickered with mixed emotions, then he finally nodded thoughtfully, showing his agreement.

He then turned his head and glanced at Wu Fan. “This time, the hacker you find will be reliable, right?”

Wu Fan hurriedly nodded, almost pounding his chest in assurance, “Absolutely reliable! If the hacker I find this time can’t trace the person behind this, I’ll wash my hair standing on my head!”

Only then did Gu Jinyan’s expression fully relax, flashing Wu Fan a dazzling smile. “Thanks for your hard work, Brother Wu.”

Seeing Gu Jinyan’s radiant, almost sunshine-like smile, Wu Fan wiped a cold sweat from his brow, nearly moved to tears.

This ancestor — when dissatisfied, there was simply no hope of getting a good face from him!

But just thinking about having to find an overseas hacker next made Wu Fan feel the immense pressure.

And if even the overseas hacker he found couldn’t uncover the person behind that bank card, then this ancestor…

Just the thought of it made Wu Fan shudder, feeling utterly unwell!

While Wu Fan was still pondering, he saw Gu Jinyan stroking his chin with one hand. “Tell me… where would be a suitable place to put a sack over someone?”

Ignoring the words, the expression on Gu Jinyan’s face looked as if he were seriously contemplating a problem…

Wu Fan was utterly baffled. Could it be that you never actually intended to let Akashi go?

You just changed from openly beating Akashi to beating him while he’s in a sack???

Because of Gu Jinyan’s dangerous idea, Wu Fan was genuinely worried that if they couldn’t find the mastermind soon, this ancestor would come up with something even more shocking.

So, he had his assistant keep an eye on Gu Jinyan while he hurriedly sought ways to contact the overseas hacker.

...

“No problem finding people,”

Gu Ci casually had one hand in her pocket, the other holding her phone, speaking on the call in a nonchalant tone.

The voice on the other end was bright and magnetic, young yet with a subtle foreign accent when speaking Chinese. “Why don’t you come over? Just half a day’s work, and I’ll give you extra pay. How about that?”

“No, I have to go to school.”

There was a pause on the other side, followed by a helpless laugh. “Even your excuses aren’t convincing. If you don’t want to tell me what’s going on, that’s fine too.”

Gu Ci pursed her lips. “I really am at school... forget it, never mind. Just send me the info.”

“Okay, these few stray fish are still on our side. You know, it’s far between your place and mine, and both sides have thick protective barriers.”

“Far? As long as they’re still on Lanxing, it’s not far,” Gu Ci said lightly, her tone filled with casual confidence.

Hearing this, the man on the phone seemed to relax, suddenly chuckling softly. “Hearing you say that puts me at ease. Once those stray fish are all dealt with, my stuff will be safe. Then I’ll send someone to pick it up.”

Anyone familiar with Gu Ci would notice how remarkably similar the thinking of the man on the phone was to hers!

Both took the approach of protecting someone or something by eliminating those who threatened what they guarded, once and for all.

Gu Ci’s brow twitched, and she couldn’t help but correct him, “It’s ‘stray fish,’ not ‘stray fish scum.’”

The man on the phone was momentarily stunned, then burst out laughing heartily.

It seemed hearing Gu Ci say that delighted him greatly.

“Hang up,” Gu Ci said flatly, ending the call and lightly pressing her temple with her fingers.

As she walked, she took a detour back to her home.

After some thought, she opened the door, went upstairs, took a shower, and changed clothes.

Before heading out again, her little furball suddenly dashed over from the corner.

“Meow~”

Gu Ci reached out, and the little creature leapt onto her, then stepped on her pristine white shirt with its tiny paws, leaving dirt.

Those jet-black paws clearly showed it had just been into some mischief.

Gu Ci’s brow twitched again. The little furball nuzzled her chin with its fluffy head. “Meow~~”

Sighing helplessly, Gu Ci picked it up and took it to the bathroom for a bath.

The little one usually played the cute act well but was especially unruly during bath time, splashing water all over Gu Ci.

Gu Ci was utterly exasperated.

In no time, she finished washing and drying it, then took another shower herself and changed clothes.

Only then did she step out again, preparing to return to school for class.

“Gu Xiao Ci? Isn’t today a workday? Why aren’t you at school?”
