Chapter 265: Chapter 266 It Comes at a Cost

For a moment, she withdrew her gaze.

"Hurry up!"

Work couldn’t be delayed, only by hurrying could she return quickly.

...

...

In the dining room.

Gan Yuan tilted her head, watching through the floor-to-ceiling window as the car grew distant, not until it turned a corner into the other side of the forest did she slowly draw back her gaze, quickly finished her breakfast, and immediately looked over to her son.

"Where’s your computer?"

"Upstairs."

The little fellow lifted his face from the breakfast plate, "What’s wrong?"

"I need it!"

Gan Yuan stood up, hurried upstairs, fetched her son’s tablet, and immediately went back to her own house, locked the door, and deftly keyed in a string of addresses on the keyboard.

She searched everywhere but didn’t find anything of value.

Ever since Huangfu Jue’s father took power, relying on his iron-fisted style and management capabilities, the country’s economy and other aspects all gradually got back on track.

In these twenty years, every aspect of strength had been rising steadily, and Huangfu Jue had always been outstanding, with very high support among the citizens.

So... who would want to harm Huangfu Jue?

Gan Yuan set down the computer in her hands, her eyes touching upon the invitation on the table—she couldn’t help but have a thought.

The banquet hosted by Duke Locke, those attending were bound to be A Country’s upper echelons—such a gathering was a great place to fish for gossip, or perhaps she could find some leads on the assassination attempt from here.

She might not excel at cooking, but when it came to gathering information, Gan Yuan was absolutely confident.

Picking up the invitation from the table, she lifted the corners of her lips into a cold smile.

"Those who attempt to harm me will have to pay a price!"

...

...

At nightfall.

The cooks began preparing dinner, and Gan Tang was playing chess with Sherry in the living room. Seeing Gan Yuan dressed in a black evening gown, the little fellow looked up in confusion.

"Mommy, are you going out?"

"Miss!" Sherry also stood up, "You are...?"

"Duke Locke has invited me to a banquet, it would be impolite not to go. I’ll just take a look and come back."

Gan Tang put down the chess piece, "Shall I go with you?"

Gan Yuan bent down to support the little fellow’s shoulder, "You stay here and be good, remember to listen to Teacher Sherry, okay?"

"But, I don’t feel at ease about you," the little guy frowned like an adult, "I think that Nancy definitely won’t welcome you."

"Don’t worry, I’ll handle it. You just take care of yourself."

"All right!" The little guy nodded, "Then come back early, if there’s any problem, call me and I’ll come rescue you immediately."

"Okay!"

Gan Yuan replied with a smile, then gave a couple more instructions to Sherry before ordering the bodyguards to prepare the car.

The bodyguards certainly didn’t dare disobey her instructions, plus, Huangfu Jue hadn’t anticipated her leaving and hadn’t placed any kind of house arrest orders or the like.

Sitting in the backseat, Gan Yuan tightened the shawl around her shoulders, gently pinched the small purse in her hand, and reached to adjust the hem of her dress.

The car drove out of the estate towards the direction of the city center, passing through several bustling streets, until it arrived outside a mansion surrounded by a collection of luxury cars.

Through the fence wall, one could clearly see the figures and fashions mingling on the mansion’s lawn.

"This is Duke Locke’s mansion," the bodyguard respectfully offered to accompany as he opened the car door for her, "Shall I accompany you inside?"

Gan Yuan elegantly took hold of his arm to exit the car, looking towards the gate not far away, "No need, you guys wait here."

...

...

Good morning.

Little Princesses, have you eaten
