Transmigration: The Cannon Fodder Suddenly Made a Comeback!
Chapter 656: If he’s the grandson of the richest man, then I am the richest man!

Chapter 656: Chapter 656: If he’s the grandson of the richest man, then I am the richest man!

But if she knew he was still unchanged, or even worse than before,

she would have made sure he got a good beating at least once or twice!

"Let’s not talk about him, it’s pointless," Shang Shuyue said, finishing her drink in one gulp, "By the way, have you noticed?"

Bai Lu: "Noticed what?"

"Gu Yu and Pei Ye are missing."

Hearing the name "Gu Yu," Bai Lu instinctively shuddered all over.

"Wha-what..."

Shang Shuyue blinked in confusion, "Gu Yu and Pei Ye, the two who were with us, didn’t you forget? They were supposed to come back with us, right? Why don’t I see them?"

Bai Lu didn’t know whether or not to reveal Gu Yu’s true identity to Shang Shuyue, nor did she know if the rumored Prince of Jing City liked having his identity known by everyone.

But since he had concealed his identity for so many years and hadn’t revealed it even after landing on the island, he probably didn’t like it, right?

Yu Li would say so too because their families had been friends for generations.

What about herself?

Anyway, the truth couldn’t come out from her own lips!

So Bai Lu tactically took a sip of water, "Don’t know, don’t know."

Shang Shuyue didn’t suspect anything, "Then I’ll go ask Jiang Li, she seems to be closer to Mr. Gu."

With that, she pulled Jiang Li over without a second word.

"Do you know where Gu Yu and Pei Ye have gone? Why can’t I see them? I wanted to properly thank them."

If not for those two protecting them well, they probably wouldn’t have been able to leave the island unscathed today.

Especially Pei Ye.

However, Jiang Li simply said indifferently, "It’s okay, you don’t need to thank them. It’s what they should do."

Shang Shuyue: "Huh?"

Bai Lu spit out a mouthful of water in shock.

The richest of men saving you is what should be done?! That would shorten someone’s life!

Jiang Li woke up and read the fortune.

Even she noticed something was off.

Their activities that night were only near the beach, where there wouldn’t be any wolves.

Moreover, the deserted island was full of wild animals; it was improbable to have wolves that hungry.

So there must have been a problem.

And sure enough, the divination showed that Zhao Lang was in trouble, those wolves must have been after him.

After obtaining this divination, she found the person she was looking for, and as she thought, Zhao Lang had guessed it too.

Without him, they wouldn’t have had this accident.

With both sides balanced out, there was no need to thank anyone.

But she ultimately couldn’t explain this reason to Shang Shuyue and the others, so Jiang Li simply said, "They had other matters and left earlier, not with us."

"I see, that’s kind of a pity."

"What a pity," Jiang Yan, who arrived later, heard this part of the conversation and furrowed his brows fiercely as he fumbled with the power button on his newly acquired smartphone, scoffing disdainfully, "I’m actually glad to be rid of those two, one with weirdly dyed hair and the other dressed strangely. They’re weird themselves—definitely up to no good!"

Bai Lu, standing beside him, turned pale at his criticism of Gu Yu but couldn’t bring herself to say anything. All she could do was cough vigorously, hoping to interrupt him, hoping the employees of Gu Group on this ship wouldn’t hear.

However, Bai Lu’s attempts to intervene were unnecessary, as Jiang Yan’s words abruptly ceased when he saw the entry that was topped on the trending searches.

"Gu Yu... the billionaire’s own grandson..." He laughed sarcastically, raising his voice even higher, "Look at this, the netizens are getting more and more absurd. Just because that kid is handsome, they make up such a persona for him, calling him the billionaire’s grandson. If he’s the billionaire’s grandson, then I’m the billionaire."

Bai Lu was too embarrassed to look and tucked herself behind Jiang Li’s back.

Shang Shuyue moved closer out of curiosity, "What’s trending? Let me take a look... It’s all described so vividly."

Finally, Jiang Li spoke in an indifferent tone, "Is it possible that this is true?"

Shang Shuyue: ?

Jiang Yan: ?

...

...

With a "bang," Jin Siyue slammed an ornament on the table into pieces, his face shadowed with sudden fury.

"If you can’t handle this trivial matter, what use are you to me?!"

In the private room, four or five people immediately kneeled down.

"President Jin, it’s not that we didn’t try. It’s just that... Gu Yu and the person with him are too strong, and so is that little girl. Who would’ve thought she could be so skilled..."

Jin Siyue, eyes bloodshot with anger, stepped forward and grabbed the man by the collar. "What good does it do to tell me this now?! Couldn’t you have arranged for more? If wolves are not enough, use people. If they can’t bite to death, use poison. Haven’t you been taught? "

The man was shaking with fear, "We tried, but after the incident on the island, He Pingzhang, that old fox, sealed the cruise ship so tightly that our people couldn’t even get a message in, and nobody could get out."

"Can’t solve it, huh? Then take his place in death," Jin Siyue said, tossing the man aside and straightening his disheveled clothes.

The man’s eyes widened in horror as he continually kowtowed, begging for mercy, "Mr. Jin, have mercy! I have elderly parents and young children. Please, spare me, Mr. Jin!"

Finally, unable to watch anymore, the personal assistant Tang Yao gestured for the man to shut up and then stepped over to Jin Siyue’s side to offer him a cigarette.

As the smoke rose in curls, Jin Siyue’s mood seemed to ease somewhat, although the veins on his forehead still stood out.

Tang Yao said gravely, "Young Master, have you forgotten the instructions your father and mother gave you? It’s been turbulent lately; they asked you to keep a low profile. Why deal with him so harshly?"

Jin Siyue didn’t say a word, his silence acknowledging Tang Yao’s method.

Only then did Tang Yao take the opportunity to continue, "That impostor Crown Prince has always been a mystery, coming and going without a trace. It must mean he’s got skills. We now have a measure of his abilities. It’ll be easier to handle him in the future. And failure is normal. If it had been too easy, the old man would not have chosen him."

Hearing his assistant’s words, Jin Siyue’s face eased up a bit.

"Did you deal with it cleanly?"

"Don’t worry, Young Master. When that man saw things going south, he considered his family and took the initiative to commit suicide by jumping into the sea. Even if there are suspicions, there’s no proof of death, and they won’t be able to trace it back to us."

Jin Siyue let out a cold laugh and glanced at the group kneeling on the ground, "Learn from Assistant Tang, not everyone is fit to sit in this position. All of you, taking money but failing to get things done, get out of my sight. I better not see any of you in Jing City for a while!"

"Yes."

The people quickly scattered, scurrying away like birds and beasts.

"What about the fake Crown Prince?"

Tang Yao replied slowly, "According to our people planted in the Gu Mansion, he returned to the Capital early this morning."

Jin Siyue’s brow twitched, "I really underestimated him. To think he can move in and out undetected under my watch, this Zhao Lang..."

He truly deserved to die!

Tang Yao sighed, "Now that it’s come to this, my advice is for you to lay low for a while, Young Master. I’ve already arranged a flight to England. It’s best you leave today."
