In a corner that Shen Xi could not see, Gu Chen’s cold gaze glanced at Hu Long, who had just raised his head. Hu Long was so scared that he immediately lowered his head again.

Hu Long did not dare to look up. He only dared to look at Gu Chen’s shoes from the corner of his eye. Then, Gu Chen’s words of warning rang in his ears, “Think about your wife and child. There are some things that you can’t say out loud. You’d better keep them in your stomach. Otherwise, I don’t mind letting your wife and children become mute in your place.”

Hu Long was so frightened that he was alert. When he raised his head and wanted to beg for mercy, Gu Chen had already turned around and left.

He didn’t dare to continue speaking, because, at this moment, Shen Xi was in the adjacent study room. If he were to beg for mercy, Shen Xi would know. Hu Long could only watch as the door of the secret chamber closed again.

Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen who was walking towards her and asked thoughtfully, “Why didn’t you ask me? How did I break into your secret room? Just now, I heard from your housekeeper that you don’t allow ordinary people to enter the study room. However, not only did I come in privately, but I also knew about your secret room and saw the people in it. Aren’t you afraid that I’ll tell your secret?”

Gu Chen closed the door of the secret room and said indifferently, “If you didn’t break in, I would not let you know about my secret room. Because I don’t want you to get involved in my troubles. The more secrets you know, the faster you die. I don’t want you to die. But since you’ve already barged in, I can only accept it. After all, I can’t do anything to you. I can’t just lock you up and interrogate you, right?”

Shen Xi said proudly, “It sounds like I’ve received special treatment from you.

Then it seems that I am very important, more important than your secret,

“Xi, you shouldn’t have asked this question. You should have said it in a positive tone. Yes, you are more important than all my secrets.” Gu Chen said firmly.

Shen Xi smiled meaningfully. “Gu Chen, don’t talk big. You might think it’s true if you talk big for too long.”

“If some big words can be true for a lifetime, why not?” Gu Chen asked a little angrily.

In his opinion, Shen Xi!s tone was questioning his feelings for Shen Xi.

Shen Xi did not indulge Gu Chen. She said directly, “When the day comes when I and your entire Gu family’s interests are in opposition, you might not be able to say such words.”

Gu Chen wanted to refute this, but Shen Xi had already left without looking back.

Shen Xi didn’t want to continue discussing this topic with him here, so Gu Chen could only turn off the flame and stop using this question to distinguish clearly from Shen Xi.

Gu Chen followed Shen Xi and said, “I’ll go get the car. Wait for me at the door later.’

Shen Xi nodded and went back to her room to get her bag.

However, she did not expect to bump into Gu Lin who had not left just as she walked into the living room.

Gu Lin sized Shen Xi up and then said with interest, “Which family’s young lady are you from? This is the first time I know someone can enter Gu Chen’s villa.’

Shen Xi sneered at Gu Lin. “Then you must be ignorant. There was such a big photo of me here before. Didn’t you see it?”

“Your photo is hanging in the living room?” Gu Lin sneered. “Little girl, stop boasting. It’s not so easy to enter the Gu family. I think you must have sneaked in to see Gu Chen. You haven’t seen him yet, so you’re planning to go back, right?”

Gu Lin did not know how the girl in front of him came in, but in his eyes, this girl was the same as the other young ladies from aristocratic families who wanted to get close to Gu Chen. They were all here to build connections.

Especially after the Guan family’s incident these few days, more aristocratic families turned their attention to the Gu family and wanted to curry favor with the Gu family.

However, he did not expect that there would be such a bold girl who would barge into Gu Chen’s place.

The people from the Gu family’s old residence rarely came to Gu Chen’s place to ask for a snub.

The main reason was that Gu Chen was not a person to be trifled with, especially Gu Chen’s poisoned heart. After standing at the side for a while, he might be tortured by Gu Chen in the next moment.

For example, his cheap father was still in prison and could not be saved no matter what. It was Gu Chen who was behind it.

Therefore, in Gu Lin’s eyes, this young girl trying to seduce Gu Chen was no different from courting death.

Seeing that the girl was really pretty, Gu Lin decided to secretly be a hero and save the little beauty in front of him..
