Free Web NovelChapter 1933: Chapter 1933: Angel’s Conspiracy
Quan San was captured, and Yun Jhin, who had colluded with Quan San, was naturally also taken into custody.
They learned quite a bit about Angel’s hideouts from Quan San.
Therefore, that night, members of the Ever Winning Army went out on a mission.
Tang Yichen had originally planned to accompany Gu Zhiqi to Haicheng to celebrate Grandpa Gu’s birthday, but due to the mission, he had to give it up.
Su Yunling and Tang Yichen both went out on the mission.
Fu Xiyan and Jin Cengran wanted to go as well, but after some discussion, they decided to go to Haicheng first.
First, to celebrate Grandpa Gu’s birthday and conveniently discuss the venue for Gu Zhiqi’s coming-of-age ceremony.
Second, Angel’s people were also lurking over in Haicheng.
They would take care of them when they got there.
Thus, the next day Fu Xiyan and Jin Cengran went to Haicheng together with Gu Zhiqi.
After arriving in Haicheng, the three followed Quan San’s information and managed to eliminate many of the people lurking in Haicheng.
Gu Zhiqi learned something from the captured people.
Angel’s people were hiding in Haicheng with the aim of targeting the Gu Family.
They planned to infiltrate the Gu Family during the elder’s birthday celebrations, taking advantage of the crowd to poison the attending dignitaries, turning each family’s leaders and masters into puppets.
After learning about Angel’s plan, Gu Zhiqi felt a wave of fear.
She felt lucky to have gone to the Yun Family and captured Quan San.
Otherwise, she couldn’t be sure, not knowing in advance, whether she could uncover Angel’s plan at the banquet or ensure the Gu family’s safety.
After being informed of Angel’s plan, Gu Zhiqi discussed strategies with Fu Xiyan and Jin Cengran, before heading to the Gu Family’s old residence.
That evening, Fu Xiyan discreetly had members of the Ever Winning Army infiltrate the Gu Family.
In addition, Gu Zhiqi summoned over a dozen ancient martial artists from the Gu Family Manor.
Angel’s people had been planning for this for a while and might have already infiltrated the Gu Family’s old residence, requiring a thorough check.
Upon learning that Gu Zhiqi called in ancient martial artists, Gu Huaijin also rushed over.
Gu Zhiqi didn’t hide from him and informed him of Angel’s conspiracy.
Then, Gu Huaijin joined Gu Zhiqi and the others in the search.
The Gu Family’s ancient martial artists coordinated with the Ever Winning Army to conduct a thorough investigation of the Gu Family’s old residence.
They uncovered several people associated with Angel within the old residence, including some who were bribed, others disguised as Gu Family servants, and several already turned into puppets.
They worked until midnight, finally completing the investigation.
After the investigation, there was another round of deployments, finishing by two in the morning.
This way, no one dared to sleep, instead taking shifts to rest.
They didn’t rest long before daylight emerged.
The birthday banquet wasn’t starting until eleven thirty, so there were hardly any guests in the morning.
Only Gu Family members were present.
To celebrate the elder’s birthday, even those like Gu Xingruo, Gu Yuluo, and Gu Mengyang, who were hardly ever home, hurried back. It was heard that even Gu Hanyu, Big Uncle Gu, and Aunt Gu would return today.
Aside from Big Uncle’s family, the rest of the Gu Family gathered at the old residence early.
A continuous stream of high-order ancient martial artists from Angel’s side appeared, although Gu Zhiqi had inquired and they said there wouldn’t be any high-order ancient martial artists involved this time, still, it couldn’t be entirely ruled out that they wouldn’t appear at the banquet.
Hence, about Angel’s conspiracy, Gu Zhiqi didn’t hide from the Gu Family members, explaining the situation to them.
Thus, hoping they would remain vigilant today and protect themselves.
After hearing Gu Zhiqi’s words, the Gu Family members fell into silence.
Then, Mother Gu pulled Gu Zhiqi over, inspecting her up and down.
