Chapter 567: Chapter 567: Distant Nephew, Long Time No See

After separating from Jiang Li and the others, Team L headed in the opposite direction.

Zhuola came to this island to search for its secrets, and naturally wouldn’t let Su Yinwan’s temperament spoil her plans, so she intentionally or otherwise led the team toward the center of the island.

As a result, over the past few days, they had always been at the forefront of all the teams’ routes, continuously adding to their points. By today, they had successfully climbed to second place.

At the same time, Zhuola had also keenly noticed that Shang Shaojing seemed to have his own agenda for coming to this island.

As the head of the Shang Group, he naturally wouldn’t make such a huge sacrifice for a mere five hundred million.

If it were to accompany a beautiful woman to her death, well, Shang Shaojing, being a businessman through and through, wouldn’t risk it all for just a girl.

That left only one possibility.

—He was also investigating the island.

And the fact that he had no objections to her changing their route these past few days supported her guess.

What made her feel even more that it was no simple matter was that ever since she knew that someone named Gu Yu had come to this program, his complexion had never lightened.

She mostly lived abroad and was unaware of these domestic secrets and scandals, and therefore knew very few of the people involved.

The fact that Shang Shaojing could be provoked to such a reaction by Jiang Li was one thing, and now this Gu Yu was another.

She had seen for herself what Jiang Li was capable of.

As for this Gu Yu... he was likely no easier to deal with.

Zhuola was annoyed, as it was tough enough to carry out a mission on this island, and now she had encountered so many troublesome people.

No wonder her master had warned her that this trip would be fraught with difficulty and urged her to be cautious.

As she was pondering their next move, the voice of the director announcing the game segment rang out from her watch.

At first, Shang Shaojing didn’t recognize it, but after hearing it so many times, he became sure.

This was He Pingzhang’s voice.

He Pingzhang was the old man’s personal assistant, and now, to Shang Shaojing’s surprise, he had turned up on this show as a director. It seemed that Jin Siyue’s affairs had been exposed.

What baffled him even more was that hadn’t Gu Yu already disappeared for over half a year?

He and Jin Si had sent out so many people in that half-year, and not a single one could find out any news about him, yet now the man had suddenly appeared on this program.

No, to be precise, on this island.

Could the secret of this island really be that important to the Gu Family?

Shang Shaojing’s eyes darkened, an expression that made Su Yinwan standing beside him feel particularly uneasy.

Their relationship had plummeted to rock bottom these past two days, with very few words exchanged, and they kept on the move. Now, with her feeling this way...

Biting her lip, Su Yinwan eventually took the initiative to show concern for Shang Shaojing.

"Brother Shaojing, you look very pale, are you feeling unwell?"

Shang Shaojing came back to his senses and shook his head, "No, I’m fine. I’m thinking about how to get through this game segment."

"It’s just a game segment, don’t be stressed. If we keep moving, we’re bound to run into other people."

"Mhm."

Sure enough, just a short while after Su Yinwan spoke, Zhuola, who was at the front, became alert.

"President Shang, there’s someone three hundred meters ahead of us. Shall we go and check it out?"

"Go, of course, we’re going! We only have ten more minutes until the binding time limit. If we can’t find anyone, we’ll all be eliminated," Ren Yue said.

Shang Shaojing also nodded, and the four of them quickly headed in the direction Zhuola had indicated.

The two were sitting under a tree resting, with a recently extinguished campfire beside them and greasy roast rabbit legs in their hands.

Without even getting a clear look at their faces, they noticed the eye-catching platinum blonde hair of one of them.

Among the deep greenery, it was like an abrupt drop of white snow.

Seemingly hearing a noise, the two people under the tree turned their heads back.

In an instant, a glimmer of astonishment flashed through Su Yinwan’s eyes.

There could actually be men this handsome in the world!

But... why did he look somewhat familiar?

Beside her, Zhuola was also stunned.

It wasn’t the bewitching beauty of the white-haired man that caught her attention but rather the man standing beside him, leaning against the tree.

Though he was wearing a red hat and his shirt and holiday-styled trousers were eclectic, she could almost tell at a glance that he was the same kind of person as her, with a very serious murderous aura.

This man was definitely not simple.

She subconsciously became on guard and silently retreated behind several people.

Under the tree, Zhao Lang slowly stood up and turned his head. The moment he saw Shang Shaojing, he slightly narrowed his long eyes.

"What a coincidence to meet you here."

Shang Shaojing was taken aback for a moment with a somewhat cold expression, "Do we know each other?"

However, the man before him did indeed look somewhat familiar.

Zhao Lang was slightly astonished, "You don’t recognize me? Technically, you should even call me ’Uncle’ by marriage."

[? ? ? ? How did these two come across each other?]

[But these two are about the same age, right? How can there be such a big difference in seniority?]

[No wonder everyone says Shang Shaojing has ties with the Gu Family. I thought it was just rumors, but it turns out they’re actually related.]

[Incredible, the Crown Prince’s face truly annihilates all other men, it’s amazing.]

[It’s the fourth day, hasn’t the Crown Prince met Jiang Yan yet?]

Shang Shaojing furrowed his brows, "Who on earth are you? Why are you falsely claiming kinship?"

Zhao Lang took a step forward with a puzzled look on his face.

"Cousin by marriage, have you lost your memory? Your mother Shen Ruobing’s sister, Shen Ruoxue, is my cousin by marriage. So how can I not be considered your uncle?"

Everyone listening was utterly confused, but Shang Shaojing’s pupils trembled slightly.

Zhao Lang began to smile, his thin lips moving as he enunciated every word, "I’m Gu Yu, your uncle Gu Yu."

All four were somewhat shocked.

Su Yinwan had heard, at least to some extent, about the name of the only son of the Gu Family since they were, after all, the leading family of Capital and their myths pervaded everywhere, though their secrets were not openly discussed.

Even when she occasionally asked Shang Shaojing out of curiosity, he would only offer few words.

But unexpectedly, the most mysterious heir of the Gu Family appeared here just like that.

And he was born with such good looks.

But something hit her, and Su Yinwan’s expression stiffened.

That wasn’t right. At this time in the novel, Gu Yu should have long been dead, and it was only due to recent significant changes within the Gu Family that Shang Shaojing got the opportunity to swallow a large portion of their assets, thereby expanding his business even further.

How could this heir now be perfectly fine and appear here?!

Su Yinwan tried to find on the Crown Prince’s face any signs of serious illness, but there was nothing—all she saw was a pale complexion, yet full of vitality and an unfairly good demeanor.

What shocked Zhuola was that the somewhat frail-looking man before her eyes was actually Gu Yu.

As a Feng Shui Master with some knowledge in physiognomy, this man’s features were top-notch to an absurd extent.

Given this, the identity of the man standing expressionlessly beside him was even clearer.

Like her, he was probably someone acting on another’s behalf.

It looked like she needed to be careful now.
