My Childhood Sweetheart Is a Crazy Beauty
Chapter 122: The Secret

Chapter 122: Chapter 122: The Secret

Let’s not talk about Tang Chuxia dragging her brother to see their father’s tragic state, but rather about Gu Beihuai appearing at the leader’s house with a syringe, having someone test what exactly the drug inside the syringe was.

"Have you run into a thorny problem?"

Gu Beihuai glanced at his uncle’s bloodshot eyes and began, particularly lacking in empathy.

The leader gave him a look and took off his glasses, massaging the bridge of his nose. "There’s still no news of Jin Haidong; Elder Jin and the others are about to go crazy."

This issue originally had nothing to do with the leader, but unfortunately, he was also present at the time and couldn’t protect everyone, which made him feel very disappointed.

Gu Beihuai, however, could understand. Anyone in his place would find it hard to accept.

"How about we go catch the perpetrator?"

His suggestion stunned the leader.

The leader stood up hastily, "Do you know where the person is?"

Gu Beihuai shook his head. "Tang Jianjun left me a clue; someone will show themselves tonight!"

The leader couldn’t sit still anymore and had Gu Beihuai lead the way. He didn’t make any conditions, and once the two of them got in the car, that’s when Gu Beihuai mentioned to the leader about the matters he and Tang Jianjun had talked about in the hospital before.

When Tang Chuxia had had an accident, they had collaborated to find those people, but because they were all resting at the time, many methods could not be used, and they had to resort to some unconventional means.

Quan City is an old city with all kinds of people. Having grown up in this city, their family backgrounds provided them with plenty of conveniences and naturally made them acquainted with many special talents.

When it came to gathering information, they always had their own channels.

"Do you mean that capturing Jin Haidong wasn’t their ultimate goal?"

The leader was puzzled. "But why capture him?" That was the point everyone couldn’t understand. Elder Jin had said that it was Jin Haidong’s first time making contact and it was impossible for him to have offended anyone.

Gu Beihuai scoffed. "Because he was the safest!"

The leader was speechless.

It did seem to be the case.

Anyway, everyone’s speculations were confounded, which played into those people’s hands.

Seeing Wu Haipeng appearing before him, Gu Beihuai understood what was happening and couldn’t help but laugh.

"What are you two playing at, speaking in riddles?"

Wu Haipeng was full of curiosity, clearly not understanding what kind of favor Tang Chuxia could ask from Gu Beihuai.

Even his uncle joined in with curiosity, "Yeah, aren’t you two always at odds? I remember your great uncle saying that you and the Tang Family girl were like... passionately at odds with each other?"

After picking up Wu Haipeng, the car headed toward the graveyard.

Gu Beihuai didn’t want to engage with the two in the car, but even the driver was all ears, wanting to catch up on the gossip.

"It’s not passionately at odds, those two are archenemies, definitely hell-bent on killing and sabotaging each other!" Wu Haipeng commented with a sigh.

The uncle: ...

Surely not?

Shouldn’t the first thing that comes to mind between a man and a woman be falling in love? Why do these kids immediately think of sabotaging each other?

Not to mention the uncle’s puzzlement, even the driver nearly swerved into a ditch.

How could they not be curious about a woman who could match wits with Gu Beihuai, a man who gave their leader such a headache?

Unfortunately, Gu Beihuai was not being cooperative.

"Why so much nonsense?"

Gu Beihuai’s impatience garnered nothing but a dry chuckle from Wu Haipeng.

The uncle was also a gossip, and seeing that he couldn’t get anything out of them, he changed the subject to Bai Yingyue, "I heard that girl went to find you, where is she now?"

Mentioning Bai Yingyue truly unleashed Wu Haipeng’s uncontainable excitement.

"I’m clear on that, I’ll tell the leader!"

He recounted the incident of Bai Yingyue going to the hospital and joining Tang Jianjun.

Cousin Uncle’s expression shattered.

Is that even possible?

The driver in the front clutched the steering wheel tightly to keep the car on course, a true testament to his willpower.

As for Gu Beihuai, he finally had a pang of conscience, "So, the one Bai Yingyue likes isn’t me, it’s Tang Jianjun!"

Cousin Uncle gave him a look as if he’d seen a ghost, "Then shouldn’t you end your leave?"

Gu Beihuai waved his hands repeatedly in response, "It’s not necessary, boss, I’m looking forward to celebrating the New Year! Besides, I’m a free man now, with some brothers dead, some crippled, and the rest still recovering from their injuries!"

Cousin Uncle didn’t press any further.

He too felt the pain, as he was also one of the instigators behind all that had happened.

Wu Haipeng quietly reminded, "Qin Zhan’s mother is having surgery tomorrow. Should we go?"

Seeing the leader close his mouth, Gu Beihuai nodded, "We definitely should drop by!"

Cousin Uncle coughed lightly, "I’ll make a trip too, with the New Year approaching, it’s time to pay a visit!"

Gu Beihuai couldn’t be bothered to watch him try to save face. It wasn’t as if he was asking him.

It wasn’t until they were near the graveyard that someone stopped the car. Getting out, they saw Tang Jianjun in a total mess.

"Do we have enough people?"

Tang Jianjun glanced at a military truck parked behind their vehicle, filled with men.

"Is the location confirmed?"

Tang Jianjun shook his head. Wu Haipeng, remembering what Tang Chuxia had said about asking the Tomb Guardian, quickly interjected.

"We have the man under control, but the old guy is drunk!"

Tang Jianjun was helpless, but Gu Beihuai said, "I’ll go have a word!"

They saw Gu Beihuai approach the Tomb Guardian, who was reeking of alcohol, obviously too drunk to be aware of his surroundings.

He didn’t waste words, grabbed the Tomb Guardian’s leg, and started spinning him around, treating the man as if he were a sack.

Some might question, can the old Tomb Guardian endure such treatment?

The answer would definitely be no. When Gu Beihuai let go and placed the man on the ground, the Tomb Guardian lay there, vomiting profusely, and then began cursing drunkenly. However, Gu Beihuai simply pressed Cousin Uncle’s sidearm against the Tomb Guardian’s forehead.

The Tomb Guardian, who was previously as drunk as a lord and vomiting like a dog, immediately sobered up and spilled everything.

He spilled the beans on everything asked.

As they were searching for someone, Wu Haipeng curiously asked Gu Beihuai why he knew such an effective trick, to which he replied with two words: "Secret!"

Wu Haipeng...

If Tang Jianbing were here, he would certainly have shouted:

Are you doing this on purpose?

One after another, all secrets.

Fortunately, Tang Jianbing wasn’t there. Wu Haipeng, scratching his head in frustration, could get no answers and had to give up.

The Tomb Guardian stood by Old Lu’s tombstone, pointing fearfully at another tombstone nearby, "Turn the tombstone, and there’s an entrance below!"

Sure enough, upon verification, when they really found an entrance, Wu Haipeng and Tang Jianjun cursed in unison, suspecting that whoever came up with this idea had a few screws loose.

Otherwise, they couldn’t have thought of doing such things here.

"Could this be what they mean by, ’the most dangerous place is the safest’?"

Wu Haipeng reasoned, but Tang Jianjun rebutted in annoyance, "What kind of dangerous place is this? Nobody would think to come here. Thankfully, they still had a shred of conscience and didn’t dig up Old Lu’s tomb!"

The Tomb Guardian, standing beside them, burped with alcohol, "What do you mean they haven’t dug it up? They’ve hollowed it out completely!"

Everybody: ...
