The Metaphysical Little Beggar's Rebirth: I'm an Unlucky Star

Chapter 212 The Black-robed Man in the Gu Family Mansion

Shu Wanwan repeatedly felt the breath in the room, making sure it had all dissipated.

Then, she began to check Gu Yanchuan's house again in an orderly manner.

The first thing that catches your eye is the neatly arranged desk, on which the books and documents are neatly stacked.

It can be seen that after Gu Yanchuan's new drama ended, he came back to live in this apartment for a while, otherwise he would not have been infected so quickly.

Shu Wanwan walked over gently, stretched out her fingers and touched the table lightly, feeling the slightly cool touch.

Then, she turned her gaze to the bookshelf beside her, checking the dazzling array of books one by one to make sure that no one was missed, or that there were any talismans in between that had not yet taken effect.

Then she moved to the bed, carefully lifted the quilt, and checked if there was anything hidden under the mattress.

After confirming that everything was correct, she bent down again and carefully checked the space under the bed, not missing any corner.

Finally, Shu Wanwan came to the wardrobe in the cloakroom, opened the door, and examined the clothes hanging inside one by one.

There are only a few pieces left. I guess Gu Yanchuan's clothes are still with the crew and have not been mailed back yet.

She carefully examined every pocket, every fold, and even the buttons on the clothes.

When Shu Wanwan finally finished the second inspection of the entire house after a long and meticulous search, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally relaxed a little as if a stone had fallen to the ground, and she let out a long breath.

She slowly turned around, walked out of the cloakroom with light steps, and then went straight to the spacious and bright living room on the first floor.

After standing still, she closed her eyes slightly, calmed down, and once again deeply felt the unique atmosphere in the room, carefully confirming whether there was anything unusual.

After a moment, she opened her eyes, and a hint of relief flashed in her eyes - obviously, after some investigation, everything here seemed very normal.

The Hundred Yin Formation has been broken, and there is also a purification formation upstairs, whose effect can last for a month. By then, there will be no problem in this house.

You may even feel refreshed after living in it.

Then, Shu Wanwan raised her right hand and waved it gently. The originally bright lights in the living room went out instantly, leaving only the watery moonlight pouring through the window onto the floor, forming patches of silver light and shadow.

Under the cover of the soft night light, Shu Wanwan walked towards the door silently like a night elf.

Finally, she gently opened the door and left Gu Yanchuan's house, her figure gradually disappearing into the night.

Under the gentle moonlight like water, Shu Wanwan took slightly heavy steps, with mixed feelings in her heart, and slowly walked towards the Gu family mansion.

The Gu family mansion was not too close to Gu Yanchuan's house. Shu Wanwan opened a spiritual door and went directly into the courtyard of the Gu family mansion.

This mansion, which has experienced the vicissitudes of time, is more like a manor than a villa.

The main building is solemn and dignified, and its exterior exudes an air of majesty that cannot be ignored. It is like a taciturn but authoritative elder, making people feel awe when approaching it.

From a distance, the walls are covered with lush vines, adding a touch of vitality and mystery to the entire building.

There is a stone lion on each side of the gate. On the right wall near the gate hangs a square plaque with a vigorous and powerful character "Gu" engraved on it in a flamboyant style.

A faint light flickers under the moonlight, as if telling the glory and honor of the Gu family.

Shu Wanwan walked slowly through the front garden.

Along the way, wherever she looked, she saw lush green plants and colorful flowers, but it was already late autumn.

What is even more surprising is that there was not even a single staff member in sight.

There was neither a housekeeper nor any busy hired servants to be seen.

But it was already midnight, so it made sense.

Shu Wanwan walked for a while and finally arrived at the spacious and bright living room of the mansion.

As soon as she stepped into the living room, her attention was attracted by the figures of several people sitting on the sofa not far away.

The man was wearing a well-tailored suit, with a straight posture and a dignified demeanor.

This person is Gu Yanchuan's father.

The middle-aged man had a stern face and a serious expression that seemed to make people feel an invisible pressure in an instant.

His deep eyes were like cold stars, flashing with a cold light, making people dare not look at him easily.

At this moment, he was leisurely holding a cup of fragrant tea, taking a sip and savoring it carefully.

It looked like he had anticipated Shu Wanwan's sudden visit, so there was no trace of surprise on his serious face.

Not far from him, a tall and thin man was sitting quietly.

I saw that the man was wearing a pair of exquisite glasses on his nose. His eyes behind the lenses sparkled with wisdom, giving people a sense of gentleness and elegance.

He was wearing a well-cut, straight-lined black suit and a plain-colored tie, and he looked particularly energetic.

At this moment, the man was gracefully extending his hand, gently grasping the handle of the teapot, and slowly pouring the hot tea in the pot into another teacup on the coffee table.

As the tea was poured in, the steam in the cup rose up and spread in the air.

The man slowly poured the brewed tea into the exquisite teacup, then gently grasped the handle of the cup, carefully picked up the cup, and turned to the single sofa beside him.

At this moment, the person who had been sitting quietly on the single sofa nodded slightly, watching the teacup in the man's hand gradually approaching him.

He nodded politely first, then stretched out his hands and steadily took the cup of hot tea handed to him.

However, at this moment, Shu Wanwan at the gate had already locked her eyes on this person.

Her eyes were fixed on the other person without blinking. If air had substance, she seemed to be able to see through the thin air to see through the true identity of the person in front of her.

At the same time, Shu Wanwan frowned slightly, and she keenly sensed the breath emanating from the other person.

This smell was both strange and familiar, making her uneasy.

The man who took the tea was wearing a long robe as black as ink, with his sleeves swaying freely, looking elegant.

He was still wearing the hood that was integrated into his black robe, which completely covered his face.

This is often the case. The more you think an accident is unlikely to happen, the more likely it is to happen.

Shu Wanwan had never expected that she would meet the man in black robe in this place.

What was even more unexpected for her was that the man in black robe who had been quietly looking at the teacup in his hand actually began to move.

I saw him slowly raise his arms, with light and careful movements, and take off the hat on his head bit by bit.

At that moment, a golden light suddenly caught Shu Wanwan's eyes.

Shu Wanwan was surprised to find that after the black hood was removed, what was revealed was a head of golden hair with slightly natural curls.

Witnessing this scene, Shu Wanwan couldn't help but mutter in her heart: "Could it be that the man in black robe is a foreigner?"

"Miss Shu, you're here." At this time, Father Gu spoke lightly, his voice steady and powerful.

Shu Wanwan took a deep breath, her expression unchanged, and turned her gaze to Gu Yanchuan's father, "Mr. Gu, it seems you have been waiting for a long time."

Hearing this, Father Gu slowly put down the exquisite teacup in his hand, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, revealing a sneer: "Huh, yes, I have heard about Miss Shu's meddling in other people's business."

Shu Wanwan would also give a cold smile, "Mr. Gu, I just did what I thought was right."

Father Gu stood up and walked towards her. "Ms. Shu, what you call the right thing to do is actually the wrong thing that ruins our Gu family's plan."

At this time, the blond man in black robe who had been silent on the side spoke up, his voice carrying a hint of an exotic accent, "Mr. Gu, leave it to me."

Shu Wanwan's gaze shifted from Gu Yanchuan's father to the blond man in black robe.

Shu Wanwan's lips curled up into a faint smile, and at this moment she was sure of one thing.
