Chapter 65
Gu Bai was very interested in the 'Uncle Shen' that Xiao Li mentioned. He continued to inquire about the situation.
It was said that the Shen Family and the Xiao Family had been friends for two generations. Back then, Master Xiao and Shen Guohui came out to make a living together. The two of them started from scratch. Master Xiao embarked on the underworld business, while Shen Guohui embarked on the legal business.
In B City, although the Shen family was not a prominent family, they were still a wealthy family with a net worth of hundreds of millions. The Shen family was often seen on TV and financial news.
There was no traffic jam on the way out of the airport. After half an hour, Gu Bai followed Xiao Li to a suburban villa.
This was a very European-style villa. At first glance, it was obvious that it was not a place that ordinary people could live in. There was also a large garden that occupied a large area, and the expensive sculptures placed in the courtyard, all of which showed the owner's wealth and taste.
Although it was Xiao Li who came to visit, Gu Bai felt that it was more like the Shen family was eagerly inviting Xiao Li. When they arrived at the villa, they saw a young man in a suit who seemed to have been waiting for a long time.
When he saw Xiao Li get out of the car, he hurried to greet him. He wanted to talk, but he was still outside. He could only ask Xiao Li to go into the study to talk alone.
Gu Bai was brought to the living room by the butler to play.
This time, Gu Bai did not pester him. He obediently followed the butler to the living room. His face looked well-behaved and calm, but there was a great wave in his heart.
He found that he had a strange feeling of familiarity with the unfamiliar Shen family villa. In his heart, the emotions of the original owner became intense and complicated. At this time, he was sure that the plot that he did not receive was definitely related to the Shen family!
He just did not know what the mission was. He felt that the hatred in the original owner's heart was not strong. It was not like a simple revenge. It was very complicated and difficult to guess. Gu Bai thought quickly in his heart.
… … …
While Gu Bai was waiting in the living room, Shen Guohui saw Xiao Li in the study. He did not talk nonsense and told him about the apocalypse.
In order to protect their son's incredible rebirth, the Shen family only said that they had some relevant information.
Although Shen Guohui was very sure that cooperating with the Xiao family was the best choice, some things did not need to be too honest.
Shen Muze was also very anxious for his father to cooperate with Xiao Li.
In his previous life, after the apocalypse, the Shen Family was destroyed, and all their money was turned into waste paper. However, the Xiao Family was able to establish a safe base because they had a large number of powerful subordinates.
He knew that there were many strong people after the apocalypse, but Xiao Li was the best candidate.
Although this man was cold, compared to those experts who had lost their conscience after the apocalypse, it was much better to follow him.
Moreover, when he died in his previous life, Xiao Li's base was already one of the most powerful bases in China. Moreover, the Shen family and the Xiao family had always been on good terms. Choosing to cooperate with Xiao Li was a must.
As for the apocalypse, Xiao Li had guessed that something was wrong from the incident of A Hu being bitten yesterday. He had already sent people to investigate.
At this moment, when he heard the news of the Shen family's doomsday, he wasn't too surprised. It was within his expectations, so he quickly agreed. He didn't trust people easily, but he still trusted Shen Guohui.
Especially since Shen Guohui was willing to tell him that his son had awakened the 'space' ability. It represented great determination and sincerity.
Everyone in the circle knew that Shen Guohui loved his only son. Since the other party dared to use Shen Muze's safety as a bargaining chip, this sincerity was definitely very great. He had no reason to refuse.
Shen Guohui and the others saw that Xiao Li was persuaded and felt relieved. Especially Shen Muze, if he could cooperate with a strong person like Xiao Li, the future of the apocalypse would be much better.
After the matter was settled, Shen Guohui invited Xiao Li to have dinner at home. The few of them walked out of the study room.
Their conversation didn't seem to last long, but half an hour had passed. Gu Bai had been waiting anxiously in the living room for a long time. When he saw Xiao Li come out, he happily went up to him like a swallow returning to its nest.
"Be careful …"
Xiao Li hurriedly caught him and reminded him with a smile as he helped him wipe off the juice stains on the corner of his mouth. Gu Bai pouted and let him wipe it off. There was a smile in his eyes, and his intimate posture was not hidden at all.
"Xiao Li, this is …"
Shen Guohui and his adopted son Wu Donghan opened their eyes wide in shock. They couldn't believe what they had just seen.
Outsiders didn't know, but how could they not know what kind of person Xiao Li was?
A living and cold King of Hell. That gentle and loving smile just now, they weren't dreaming, right?
Who was this young man that Xiao Li could treat like this …
The boy beside them, Shen Muze, also opened his eyes wide. His gaze was even more incredulous than theirs. His eyes were fixed on Gu Bai. Su Yu!
It was actually Su Yu!
How could he be here!
"… …"
Hearing Shen Guohui's voice, the happy Gu Bai suddenly trembled. The original owner's emotions couldn't be suppressed, making him feel very excited and close.
Gu Bai turned to look at Shen Guohui. Without the plot, he could only rely on the original owner's emotions to determine the direction of the mission.
At this moment, the emotional fluctuations in his heart confirmed his previous guess. It seemed that this mission couldn't be separated from the Shen family.
There was also the handsome boy next to Shen Guohui. The boy's gaze was too sharp, and it was impossible for him not to notice it. Almost instantly, he became vigilant. That sharp gaze was very agitated, and there was also a strong hatred.
Hatred?
After Gu Bai searched the original owner's memory, he couldn't find any information related to this boy. This meant that they didn't know each other before. If they didn't know each other, then why would there be hatred?
Moreover, the original owner's emotions were also very fluctuating towards this boy, but there wasn't much hatred. It was a kind of indescribable complexity. Was the original owner and this boy friend or foe?
Since there was no hatred in the original owner's heart, Gu Bai temporarily restrained himself. Now, he could at least confirm two mission objectives.
This thought seemed to be a lot, but in fact, it was only for a moment. His spinning brain stopped. Gu Bai looked at Shen Guohui and showed a well-behaved smile to greet him.
"Hello uncle, my name is Su Yu. I'm … I'm Brother Xiao's boyfriend!"
After saying the last sentence, Gu Bai looked at Xiao Li and grinned. His words almost made Shen Guohui and the others' jaws drop.
Xiao Li was pleased by his grin. This little guy's possessiveness was stronger than his. He nodded and reached out to hold his shoulder. He didn't need to say anything. Just his actions expressed his intention.
"…"
Shen Muze almost choked on his own saliva. He stared at him in horror with his eyes wide open. What did Su Yu say? What did he say?
How could he be Xiao Li's man?
He remembered that Su Yu didn't know Xiao Li at all in his previous life. Xiao Li was such a cold and ruthless person, so how could he like someone as scheming as Su Yu? But now, the gentleness on Xiao Li's face didn't seem to be a joke.
He thought that as long as his father didn't bring Su Yu back, everything would be fine. He didn't expect Su Yu to not only come back, but also marry Xiao Li.
Look at that obedient smile, it was exactly the same as in his previous life. Su Yu used this expression to snatch away his father, snatch away his Brother Wu. Now, he still wanted to come back and snatch everything away from him?!
Shen Muze's heart was filled with panic and vigilance.
The others didn't notice him, but Gu Bai, who had been observing him carefully, saw through the panic and vigilance in his eyes. He thought to himself.
Even if the original owner didn't hate this boy, judging from the boy's behavior, they were definitely not friends.
Then, during the meal, Gu Bai didn't pay attention to Shen Muze anymore. Instead, he was quite interested in Shen Guohui. He instinctively felt close to Shen Guohui.
However, he found that the closer he was to Shen Guohui, the more Shen Muze looked at him with hatred. There was also a kind of fear.
With a change of mind, Gu Bai waited until it was time to eat the zongzi. He deliberately dipped it in soy sauce and white sugar according to the original owner's eating habits. He immediately found that Shen Muze's gaze changed again. The servant, Wang Ma, who was waiting on the side, laughed and interrupted.
"Oh, Young Master Su also likes to eat this way. My wife also liked to eat zongzi this way. This salty and sweet taste is not something that many people can get used to …"
Hearing this, Shen Guohui also looked at Gu Bai. He loved his wife very much and was very sensitive to everything related to his wife.
Noticing Gu Bai's special behavior, he thought of his wife and sighed. He inexplicably looked at Gu Bai with more affection. He took the initiative to pick up some food for Gu Bai.
"Thank you, uncle. These zongzi are delicious!"
Gu Bai held the bowl and thanked him with a smile. He was very happy because of this concern.
"You're welcome. Eat more if you like. This is Wang Ma's old cooking. You can't buy it outside. Later, I'll ask Wang Ma to make some more and bring it back to eat slowly …"
Shen Guohui's smile was very kind. He had a good impression of him.
This happy scene fell into Shen Muze's heart. It was as painful as being pricked by needles. He didn't believe the simple smile on Gu Bai's face at all.
Now that they met for the first time, Su Yu won his father's attention and affection. He knew it. He knew that as long as Su Yu came back, nothing good would come out of it!
"Dad, I'm not feeling well. I'll go back to my room first …"
Shen Muze couldn't bear the pain in his heart. He bit his lips, put down his chopsticks, and quickly ran back to his room.
"Dad, I'll go check on Xiao Ze …"
Wu Donghan, who was sitting next to him, heard that he was not feeling well. He quickly put down his chopsticks and said goodbye to Shen Guohui and followed.
Gu Bai looked at his back and had a rough idea of what to expect from this mission.
This Shen Muze was definitely the key to the mission. Since the original owner didn't hate him, he couldn't guess what the original owner wanted to do. As long as Shen Muze didn't do anything to threaten him, he just needed to be on guard.
Thinking of this, Gu Bai felt more relaxed. He continued to enjoy the delicious food. If the end of the world really came, the comfort at this moment would definitely be a luxury.
