Chapter 728: Chapter 728 Engagement (6)

So it turns out that Gu Yelin’s devotion and long-standing affection is inherited from his father.

Having figured out who Xiao Xia was, Kong Shi’s mind suddenly remembered the news she heard a few years ago. She asked in a lowered voice, frowning, "I heard that Yelin’s mother died suddenly from a strange illness? Aren’t the Gu Family an Ancient Martial Arts Family? How come they couldn’t cure it?"

Kong Shi was right; generally speaking, members of Ancient Martial Arts Families have some basic foundation, and most disciples from these families, in order to age together with their partners, also pay attention when choosing a mate to whether the other party has the talent for the Cultivation of Ancient Martial Arts, or if the other party is also an Ancient Martial Artist.

And Ji Xia was such an idle Ancient Martial Artist.

Ji Xia’s father, a well-known painter associated with Xuanjin, had some understanding of ancient martial arts. So from Ji Xia’s childhood, her father sent her to learn and practice ancient martial arts. They didn’t seek to stand out, but only to strengthen the body and maintain good health.

Thus, Ji Xia had a foundation in ancient martial arts. After she married Gu Weijun, she diligently practiced even more, making rapid progress.

Normally, those who practice ancient martial arts seldom fall ill. Of course, this excludes extremely dreadful and complicated diseases like the one Duan Yuntian had.

Yu Xiaoyan and Chen Fang both understood Kong Shi’s confusion. They shook their heads helplessly and said, "What you mentioned is something we all had doubts about. Back then, Xiao Xia just had an ordinary cold, and nobody took it seriously, but who knew she would pass away just like that. To be honest, we still feel Xiao Xia’s death was not normal. But at that time, Grandpa Gu and Weijun used all their power to investigate this matter and couldn’t find any clues. In the end, they had no choice but to let it go. Xiao Shi, don’t tell Lao San and Xiao Qing about this matter; Grandpa Gu doesn’t want it spread."

Kong Shi nodded and made a zipping motion across her lips with her hand.

However, Yu Xiaoyan, Chen Fang, and Kong Shi thought that they were far enough away from An Yiqing and spoke in low voices, so An Yiqing wouldn’t hear. But what they didn’t realize was that Ye Chenghong had trained An Yiqing in sensory perception from a young age. As a doctor, whether it was the sense of smell, hearing, or touch, she needed to be more sensitive than normal people. So, even at such a distance, An Yiqing was still able to hear the conversation between Kong Shi and Yu Xiaoyan and Chen Fang clearly.

Her eyes narrowed slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across them.

A mysterious death, huh? Very well, she would take on this matter.

Just then, the phone on the dressing table suddenly vibrated. An Yiqing lifted her head, gathered her thoughts, and picked up the phone, her eyebrows knitting together tightly.

There was nothing terrifying on the phone, just four big characters—Beware of attack!

The sender’s number was a strange one, and An Yiqing was certain she had never seen it before in her memory.

After contemplating for a moment, An Yiqing tapped the number and hit redial.

After a series of busy tones, a cold female voice prompted—The number you’ve dialed is not in service!

Frowning intensely, An Yiqing felt a growing sense of unease in her heart. Who was reminding her to be careful? Beware of an attack? When? The engagement ceremony?

And more importantly, who was the person? Why did they intentionally cancel the phone number? What was his or her intention?

Her mind quickly ran through many thoughts, and An Yiqing hastily sorted out several ways to handle the situation.

She interrupted the makeup artist and turned her head to signal Gu Tingting, then whispered a few words to her.

Gu Tingting laughed with a "hehe," made an "ok" gesture, and then bounced out of the room.

A moment later, the door to the resting room was gently knocked, and soon after, Gu Yelin’s tall and straight figure appeared at the doorway.

"Yo, Lao San! Can’t stand not seeing her for just a short while, huh?" Chen Fang teased as soon as she saw Gu Yelin who suddenly appeared.

"Tsk tsk, Xiao Shi, you see? Your girl Xiao Qing has got our Lao San completely under control. You can rest easy now, right? He’s a live-in husband-slave," Yu Xiaoyan said with a covered mouth, giggling.

Listening to Chen Fang and Yu Xiaoyan’s teasing, Kong Shi smiled and shook her head, asking gently, "Yelin, are you looking for Niuniu for something?"

Gu Yelin nodded but did not speak.

Kong Shi and the others were all astute and saw Gu Yelin’s expression, knowing he had something to discuss with An Yiqing. They simply stopped disturbing them, dragging Old Lady An, along with Gu Tingting and Ruan Xue, out of the room.

In the resting room, An Yiqing dismissed the makeup artist and the stylist, and now only she and Gu Yelin were left.

"Ah Lin, somebody just sent me a message," she handed her phone to Gu Yelin, her expression somewhat grave.

Gu Yelin looked down at the phone, scrolled through the text message, then took out his own phone and a few seconds later sent out a text.

"Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to look into it. I’ve already made sufficient preparations around the hotel; no major problems should arise. But just to be safe, I’ve called for someone," Gu Yelin said softly after kissing An Yiqing’s forehead. His voice was low, "Don’t worry, I’ve got everything under control."

With that kiss from this man, An Yiqing’s heart gradually calmed down. She gazed intently at Gu Yelin and said softly, "Let’s face whatever comes together. The guests attending today’s engagement are too distinguished; neither Grandpa Gu nor my grandfather can afford to take this risk. Ah Lin, we have to depend on ourselves this time. I don’t know what the purpose of the person sending this message is, but it’s still best to be careful."

Gu Yelin looked at An Yiqing and nodded earnestly.

After a brief discussion, Gu Yelin and An Yiqing made the most decisive and perfect decision.

They secretly mobilized "Red Thorn" and another of Gu Yelin’s forces. They did not use a single soldier from the Gu Family to avoid scaring off the culprit.

Watching Gu Yelin’s departing figure, An Yiqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, she picked up the phone and dialed.

"Ah Feng! Change of plans. Bring all the gear; we need backup!"
