Chapter 464: Chapter 464 The Hired Thug

Lu Xingzhe, listening to Qiao Qingshu’s words, raised an eyebrow slightly and his lips curved into a somewhat ostentatious smile, "Tsk, fine, let’s see who they fall into the hands of first."

Upon hearing this, Qiao Qingshu turned her head, casting a brief glance at Lu Xingzhe with indifference.

Seeing Qiao Qingshu’s expression, Lu Xingzhe understood what she meant.

Wasn’t she blatantly telling him that the person would definitely fall into her hands first?

He clicked his tongue lightly, shook his hand at her, and said, "I’m off."

After speaking, he quickly walked towards the car that had come to pick him up, clutching the straps of his backpack.

Lu Xingzhe had left, but Qiao Qingshu didn’t immediately depart; instead, she glanced in the direction Gu Zhiqi had left.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi enter a black car, Qiao Qingshu finally stepped forward to leave.

No sooner had Gu Zhiqi and the others left the school gate than Su Yunling spotted them.

From the moment Gu Zhiqi appeared, Su Yunling’s eyes had been fixed on her.

Not until Gu Zhiqi got into the car did Su Yunling show any sign of looking away. Only after Gu Zhiqi was seated did Su Yunling briefly shift her gaze to the driver, "To Shadow Pavilion."

Once the car started moving, Su Yunling returned her gaze to Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Do you know Hu Shiyu?"

Gu Zhiqi: ?

Hit with the somewhat familiar name, it took Gu Zhiqi a moment to process it.

She was somewhat surprised to hear the name Hu Shiyu coming from Su Yunling’s lips.

After a few seconds of silence, under Su Yunling’s watchful eyes, she slightly nodded, "A classmate of mine."

Upon hearing this, Su Yunling’s eyes lowered, a dark shade crossing the depths of her gaze as she gently rubbed the ring on her finger with her fingertip.

After pondering for a few seconds, she looked up at Gu Zhiqi again, "Any conflicts with her?"

Gu Zhiqi’s expression didn’t change as she replied in a lazy and casual tone, "I’ve beaten her up."

Su Yunling’s eyes narrowed slightly.

Even though Gu Zhiqi said she had beaten up Hu Shiyu, Su Yunling was well aware that the child wasn’t one to provoke trouble on her own initiative.

It seems Hu Shiyu must have been the one to provoke Gu Zhiqi first.

"The person who bribed the driver is called Hu Shiyu."

Gu Zhiqi turned her eyes to Su Yunling, "Are you certain it was her?"

Because she had been beaten up, she hired someone to kill her?

"The driver confessed it personally, and we’ve already dispatched people to arrest Hu Shiyu. It shouldn’t be long before we get results."

Thinking the assailant was some formidable character because they dared to strike at a child, they had postponed the investigation until after the birthday celebration.

Nevertheless, as soon as the driver and his accomplice learned that the Ever Winning Army was involved, they were so scared they confessed everything immediately.

The driver said it was a girl who looked to be around eighteen or nineteen years old.

He really hadn’t expected that the person behind the bribery would be the child’s classmate.

Gu Zhiqi nodded slightly, indicating she understood.

The car proceeded all the way to Shadow Pavilion. When Gu Zhiqi and Su Yunling arrived at the private room, Tang Yichen was already waiting inside.

Apart from Tang Yichen, three other people were seated in the room; they were Fu Xiyan, Yun Miao, and Fu Hong.

Seeing the four people in the room, Gu Zhiqi immediately stopped in her tracks before entering.

Sensing that Gu Zhiqi had halted, Su Yunling, still in the midst of opening the door, slightly turned to look at Gu Zhiqi, a hint of inquiry in her eyes, "Why aren’t you coming in?"

Gu Zhiqi scrutinized the four people sitting in the room, her expression slightly complex.

She turned her gaze, looking at Su Yunling with a deep and probing look, "Weren’t there supposed to be only three people?"

How did it become so many?

"Gu Xiaoxi! Third Brother!" Hearing the commotion at the door, Tang Yichen immediately raised his arm, waving at them.
