the next day.

Someone knocked on the door early in the morning.

Looking at Ah Shu standing at the door, Gu Qingning's quiet eyes narrowed slightly, and his cold voice was somewhat impatient, "Where is she?"

She didn't sleep all night, she'd be in a good mood to see the hell.

"Master is waiting for you downstairs." Ah Shu said blankly, as if he wasn't the one who was injured yesterday, as if he was fine.

Gu Qingning raised her feet and walked out, A Shu followed closely behind, always watching her every move, for fear of being run away by her.

The downstairs living room is bright and quiet.

Zhan Xi sat on the sofa, her face as black as coal, when she heard footsteps, she looked up towards the stairs.

A sinister look swept over, with murderous intent.

Gu Qingning didn't understand why, so she calmly met her unfriendly gaze, "What are you staring at me for, and I didn't offend you."

Zhan Xi snorted coldly, and squeezed out a hoarse voice from between his teeth, "Fu Juncheng and Yu Wenfan teamed up to destroy ten of my strongholds, do you still think you didn't offend me?"

But in one day, those two guys moved so fast, ten strongholds were destroyed, and so many of her manpower were lost, it was simply audacious.

Ten strongholds?

Gu Qingning raised her eyebrows, and the corners of her ruddy lips evoked a playful smile.

It's something her family, A Cheng, would do.

"You're very proud, aren't you?" Seeing that she was still laughing, Zhan Xi's face became even more ugly.

Gu Qingning walked over to her and sat down, ignored her angry eyes, and said casually, "Who told you to catch me here, you will pay for it, and it will be evened."

Zhan Xi patted the table angrily, and said, "It was you who refused to tell the whereabouts of the map fragments first, so I can't blame me for arresting you."

"Ah."

A sneer slipped from her lips, Gu Qingning looked at her with a half-smile, his eyes were cold, "Even if I tell where the map fragments are, can you let me go?"

Touching her insightful eyes, Zhan Xi frowned, as if she had caught her mind.

That's right, even if she told where the map fragments were, she still wouldn't let her go, she wanted to use her to ask Fu Juncheng to help her find the treasure.

Her hesitation was fully seen by Gu Qingning, she raised the corner of her mouth, "Since you won't let me go, then I can't tell you the whereabouts of the map fragments."

"you……"

The veins on Zhan Xi's forehead bulged, and she was surrounded by long-lost frustration.

She took a deep breath and asked, "How on earth do you want to tell the whereabouts of the map fragments?"

What I was waiting for was this sentence, Gu Qingning asked straight to the point, "It's still the same question, what do you want the treasure for?"

Zhan Xi hesitated for a long time before she said, "Come with me."

After the words fell, she took a step and walked towards the stairs.

Gu Qingning got up and followed without hesitation.

Seeing this, A Shu also went upstairs, his task was to protect the master.

five minutes later.

The three came to the door of a room on the fourth floor, Zhan Xi entered the fingerprint lock, and the door opened.

Gu Qingning walked behind her, and the faint fragrance of flowers wafted to the tip of her nose.

I saw a bouquet of white roses in the living room. They were so delicate and beautiful, and the petals were still stained with water. It looked like they had just been put on.

She looked away calmly, and glanced at the half-hidden door not far away from her corner of the eye.

"If you dare to act rashly, don't blame me for being rude to you."

The woman's warning words fell into her ears, Gu Qingning looked at her, and replied nonchalantly, "Got it."

Zhan Xi looked away, stretched out his hand and pushed open the door with very light movements.

Gu Qingning looked at her light hands and feet, her eyes dimmed, and she followed her slowly.

The bedroom was large, and the bright sunlight was slightly weakened by the window glass, turning into mottled halos and scattered on the ground.

Getting closer and closer to the bed, Gu Qingning looked at the old man lying on the bed with surprise in his eyes.

Perhaps it was the reason why he had been in a coma for many years. The old man's complexion was sickly pale, his face was haggard, and his breathing was weak, as if he would die in the next second.

Before she could ask, Zhan Xi spoke first, "He's the reason I'm looking for the treasure."

Gu Qingning was startled.

Zhan Xi looked down at the person on the bed, his fierce eyes instantly turned gentle, "As long as he finds the treasure, he can wake up."

Gu Qingning became more and more confused the more he listened, he glanced at her, then at the old man on the bed, "What do you mean?"

Speaking of this, Zhan Xi had nothing to hide, so he simply told her, "There is a ten thousand year ganoderma in the treasure, as long as he uses that ganoderma as a medicine, he will wake up soon."

Gu Qingning was stunned, but still had a question, "How do you know that there are ten thousand years of Ganoderma lucidum in the treasure?"

"One of the few people who saw the treasure back then was my grandfather." Zhan Xi said.

"He told me that as long as we collect the map fragments, we can find the treasure."

Gu Qingning took a step forward, looking at the unconscious old man on the bed with cold eyes.

She stretched out her hand, but the person opposite hurriedly stopped her, "What are you doing?"

Zhan Xi looked at her warily, fearing that she would do something wrong.

Ignoring her hostility, Gu Qingning said calmly, "Take his pulse."

"No need." Zhan Xi was still worried.

Gu Qingning didn't force her, she withdrew her hand and asked casually, "Why did he become like this?"

Zhan Xi remained silent, a flash of self-mockery flashed in his eyes, and more grief.

He would blame her for everything. If she had believed in him and hadn't suspected him of betraying her, he wouldn't have become like this.

It was she who harmed him, and the relationship between them was ruined by her own hands.

She didn't say anything, and Gu Qingning didn't ask any further questions, and looked around lazily.

"What are you looking at?" Zhan Xi stood up, and regained that ferocious expression on his face.

"Don't think of any tricks, otherwise..."

Gu Qingning took her words, "Otherwise you will kill me."

She will recite these two sentences back and forth.

Zhan Xi snorted nasally, "It's good that you know."

"I'm hungry, do you have breakfast?" Knowing the truth, Gu Qingning was not in the mood to stay here any longer, turned around and walked out.

"stop."

Zhan Xi's voice came from behind.

Gu Qingning glanced at A Shu who was guarding the door, paused, then looked back at Zhan Xi, "What else is there?"

"I've told you everything you want to know, but where are the remaining map fragments?" Zhan Xi said in a deep voice.

Gu Qingning was not afraid of her stern face at all, and her tone was soft, "I don't remember, maybe I can remember something after breakfast."

Zhan Xi had nothing to do with her, and said through gritted teeth, "Little girl, you'd better stop grinding my patience, otherwise I won't let Fu Juncheng go."

As she spoke, she looked sideways at Ashu and ordered, "Have someone prepare breakfast for her."

Ah Shu nodded respectfully, "Yes."

Gu Qingning pulled her lips, put one hand in her pocket, and walked out briskly.

...

the other side.

Ten Zhanxi strongholds were destroyed overnight, and Fu Juncheng and Yu Wenfan were out all night.

It wasn't until dawn that the two returned to the hotel.

After Yu Wenfan washed up, he had a hasty breakfast and went to find Fu Juncheng.
