Gu Chen could not imagine such an ending.

Fortunately, the barbecue was not wasted. Everyone in the Gu family’s old residence had a share and had to eat it.

After all, Gu Chen had said that he would order it for everyone in the old mansion, so even the servants who usually took care of the house did not escape.

Shen Xi had a good night’s sleep, but someone in a certain corner of the Imperial Capital could not sleep at all.

“Did she say that?” Guan Lei tilted his head and asked Guan Jiu.

Guan Jiu nodded and said, “Yes, that’s what Ms. Shen Xi said. She was extremely arrogant and told Miss Su Rui that she wanted you to confront her. “She even slapped Miss Su Rui.”

Guan Lei then lowered his eyes and smiled. However, when he saw the photo of Gu Chen carrying Shen Xi on his back, he suddenly stopped smiling.

Guan Lei did not know what Shen Xi’s current situation was, but based on what Shen Xi said, Guan Lei guessed that Shen Xi should know that he had faked his death to escape.

However, Guan Lei was still unsure of Shen Xi’s current mental state.

When he heard that Shen Xi fainted and was sent to the hospital, Guan Lei was so scared that he almost rushed to the hospital. If it wasn’t for his wound opening and collapsing, he would probably have returned to the detention room.

After that, he found out that Shen Xi had lost her memory. He was worried that Shen Xi, who had lost her memory, would be deceived by Gu Chen.

However, according to the current news, the lost memory Shen Xi was even more domineering and arrogant than the previous Shen Xi whose memory was chaotic. It seemed that his temper was also a little bigger.

It didn’t seem easy to deceive.

Although Guan Lei thought so, when his thoughts returned to reality, he felt very stifled when he saw the photo of Gu Chen carrying Shen Xi on his back.

Guan Lei stuffed the photos into the trash can. Out of sight, out of mind.

“How’s Meng Yu e s condition now?” he asked.

“There’s no problem with President Meng at the moment. Our people are also protecting him in secret. Especially after someone came out and confessed, this mess became even more complicated. Will the other party let President

Meng die? Otherwise, it will further prove that CEO Meng was framed.” Guan Jiu replied.

“What do you think happened to the man who confessed?” Guan Ba asked with some doubt. “Why did the medicine we prepared become another one?

Someone is helping us behind the scenes, and theyre quite powerful.

Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been able to successfully exchange the evidence under the heavy surveillance of the Gu and Liu families. I wonder which divine being helped us.”

“Do you think it’s the old chief?” Guan Jiu asked after pondering for a while.

“It’s not grandfather.” Guan Lei directly denied Guan Jiu’s judgment.

“In any case, the current situation is full of twists and turns. The other party will probably make another move later. Initially, I was afraid that they would start with President Mengs identity. I was afraid that there would be rumors saying that you betrayed the country because of the Guan family. As the son of the old chief, Meng Yu wanted to kill you so that you wouldn’t tell the secret that the Guan family also betrayed the country. Fortunately, before this rumor spread, things developed in another direction.” Guan Ba said with some lingering fear.

“You guys continue to watch. I don’t think things will end so easily. The other party will make another move later. If there’s any movement, report it in time.” Guan Lei said.

Guan Ba and Guan Jiu nodded and were about to leave when Guan Lei’s voice sounded again, “Also, no matter when, if Shen Xi is in any danger, you must protect her. No one is allowed to hurt her, even if she is on Gu Chen’s side. Do you know?”

Guan Ba and Guan Jiu looked at each other and then responded in unison, indicating that they understood.

After the two of them left, Guan Lei lay down to rest. He had drunk a strong fake death potion for the whole day, and then he had to spend all his energy to plan a counterattack when he woke up. In addition, he was already injured, so Guan Lei really couldn’t take it.

Lying on the bed, Guan Lei was slightly relaxed. He recalled the news he had just received from Shen Xi. He smiled and closed his eyes to rest.

Shen Xi woke up naturally in the morning. As soon as she turned on her phone, news about Meng Yu was sent directly from Shen Luan to Shen Xi.

Shen Xi was not surprised by the progress of Meng Yu’s poisoning incident. After all, the Gu family’s strength was there, so Shen Xi was not worried.

As for the other matters, if the Guan Clan couldn’t handle them themselves, it would be a waste of their power..
