"I'm full."
Having eaten and drunk his fill, Wan Yunting patted his stomach contentedly. Gu Luotang, who had finished eating earlier, sat beside him and smiled gently…
Then, the large gate of the courtyard outside slowly opened, and a luxurious Maybach sedan drove in. Gao Jiaming, who was in the living room, immediately went out to meet it. "Dad, you're here."
A man in his sixties or seventies, dressed in a grey casual suit, alighted from the car. He leaned on a cane, his face exuding authority. He was none other than Gao Tianhe, the patriarch of the Gao family.
"How is Yaqin?"
Gao Tianhe asked his third son slowly.
"Well, Yaqin fell asleep after taking her medicine. But her condition is very stable."
Gao Jiaming accompanied him into the living room…
Meanwhile, Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao, who were eating in the dining room, caught a glimpse of Gao Tianhe outside. Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes, guessing the old man's identity…
Gao Jiaming first took Gao Tianhe upstairs to visit Gao Yaqin. Seeing that his daughter's complexion had improved, Gao Tianhe was relieved. He then asked everyone to go out, so as not to disturb Gao Yaqin's rest…
"Any news from the police?"
Gao Tianhe's old face sank as he asked Gao Jiaming.
"Not yet."
Gao Jiaming shook his head slightly. He had already recounted all that had happened that afternoon to Gao Tianhe. Upon hearing that someone had harmed his daughter and even planted a Gu worm inside her, Gao Tianhe's face turned green. He spoke in a calm yet ferocious tone, "We must catch the person who harmed Yaqin. To dare do such a cruel thing to a member of the Gao family, I will make him pay with blood!"
Gao Jiaming nodded and said, "Don't worry, Dad. I've already asked Captain Wang to investigate this matter thoroughly. We will definitely find the person who administered the Gu to Yaqin."
Gao Tianhe nodded, then said, "Take me to see that doctor."
"Alright, he's downstairs…"
Gao Jiaming led the elder down the stairs. Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao had already come out of the dining room and were admiring the flowers in the garden outside. Seeing them emerge, Wan Yunting turned his head. Gao Jiaming immediately introduced him to his father, "Dad, this is Dr. Wan from Hua Du, and Dr. Luotang from the Gu family. It was Dr. Wan's contribution that discovered someone had administered Gu to Yaqin."
"Truly young and promising."
Gao Tianhe's sharp old eyes appraised Wan Yunting and Gu Luotang, a benevolent smile appearing on his aged face. "Old man, thank you. For being able to cure my youngest daughter, our Gao family will certainly reward you handsomely."
"Sir, you are too kind. Curing the sick and saving lives is our duty."
Wan Yunting smiled, speaking with great humility. Gu Luotang beside him also nodded politely.
"Hmm, humble and polite. You two are outstanding young talents with limitless futures."
Gao Tianhe was a good judge of character. From Wan Yunting's humble and self-assured demeanor and Gu Luotang's naturally elegant aura, he could tell these two young people were extraordinary.
"Jiaming, you must entertain them well. I'll be going back now. Report to me immediately if there's anything with Yaqin, understand?" Gao Tianhe didn't say much more, giving his instructions to Gao Jiaming before leaving.
"Dr. Wan, Dr. Luotang, please come this way…"
After seeing his father off, Gao Jiaming returned and invited Wan Yunting, Gu Luotang, and Qi Miaomiao to the tea pavilion in the courtyard, personally brewing tea for them. Wan Yunting casually asked, "Mr. Gao, is there any news from the police yet?"
"Not yet."
Gao Jiaming put down his teacup and sighed. "We've already collected footprints, and the police are searching the entire city for the person who administered the Gu, but there's still no news."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "Anyone who can use the Purple Gu Worm Flower to administer Gu must be a sorcerer from Southeast Asia, and a master at that. It's normal for the police to not find his traces immediately!"
"Are you sure he's from Southeast Asia?"
Gao Jiaming frowned, his gaze serious as he looked at Wan Yunting. He had known this young man was not ordinary since he saw him driving a super sports car worth hundreds of millions when he met Guo Liang for dinner.
And his performance today further convinced Gao Jiaming that Wan Yunting was by no means an ordinary person.
"Yes, I can say with certainty that the sorcerer who knows this Gu technique is from Southeast Asia!"
Wan Yunting nodded, explaining to Gao Jiaming, Gu Luotang, and the confused Qi Miaomiao, "Because the Gu techniques practiced by the minority ethnic groups in China's Yunnan province are different from this kind of Gu worm technique."
Hearing this explanation, Gao Jiaming understood, and his heart sank. When Southeast Asia was mentioned, it reminded him of something!
"Damn it, could that little bastard be behind this?"
Gao Jiaming's eyes were sinister as he muttered to himself. Given that brat's character, he was capable of anything!
Seeing Gao Jiaming's gloomy and silent expression, Wan Yunting could tell from his subtle facial changes that he had already guessed who had administered the Gu to his sister, Gao Yaqin.
However, based on the relationship between Gao Jiaming and his elder brother, Gao Zhixiong, that day, it was evident that there was internal discord within their Gao family!
It was all about the future heir of their Gao Group!
It was clear that Gao Tianhe attached great importance to his fourth daughter, Gao Yaqin, otherwise, he wouldn't have appointed her as the CEO. Moreover, Gao Yaqin was divorced and might not remarry, meaning she would remain with the Gao family forever.
Therefore, she had a distinct advantage in competing for the position of chairman of the Gao Group with Gao Jiaming and Gao Zhixiong!
As for their second son, Gao Wencheng, he was a politician and naturally would not compete for the inheritance.
Gao Jiaming's relationship with his sister Gao Yaqin was closer, their sibling bond even deeper than with his elder brother, Gao Zhixiong!
This was because Gao Zhixiong was a narrow-minded person who was already estranged from Gao Jiaming and Gao Yaqin. He had openly shown his intention to compete for the family's future inheritance.
Therefore, Wan Yunting's own analysis was that the person who could harm Gao Yaqin in such a way was likely Gao Zhixiong.
This was because, in the afternoon, Wan Yunting had read from his subtle expression that Gao Zhixiong was a ruthless individual!
Wan Yunting was no stranger to family feuds where siblings turned against each other and fought to the death.
Just like Fang Kangning, Fang Yanxi's cousin, last time. If Gao Zhixiong truly intended to kill his sister, Wan Yunting wouldn't be surprised. Moreover, Gao Jiaming was now thinking along the same lines!
At this moment, in a villa in Xiangmi Lake, Shenzhen.
"Ah Zhe, the plan failed!"
Gao Zhixiong was standing on the balcony on the second floor, holding his phone and saying sinisterly, "That bastard Gao Jiaming, I don't know where he found a Chinese medicine doctor who cured your aunt."
A moment later, a deep male voice came from the other end of the phone, chuckling, "It seems my uncle has found a master."
Gao Zhixiong glared and asked, "What should we do now?"
"Dad, there's no rush. I have my own ways," the man on the phone said calmly with a smile.
"Good, hurry and think of a way." Gao Zhixiong nodded, and the father and son hung up.
Meanwhile, in a private estate in Bangkok, Thailand, a young man was lying on a massage bed while two attractive Thai female masseuses gave him a Thai massage…
"Ah Long, call that sorcerer and tell him to get rid of my aunt, no matter what it takes!" the young man said calmly to a man standing beside him, smiling.
"Yes."
The man named Ah Long nodded and immediately took out his phone to make a call. He soon connected and spoke to the other party in Thai, "Take care of the target tonight…"
Gao Zhe, lying on the massage bed with his eyes closed, a sinister smile playing on his lips…
