Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 931 The Grave Robbers' Chronicles 19

"Ah."

Gu Wusi returned to his room on the yacht and called home.

Then I took a shower and went straight to bed.

After Gu Wusi returned, she was kept at home by her family until Huo Xiuxiu came to find her.

Yesterday, Gu Wusi received a call from her inviting her out, and she thought it would be a good excuse to go out.

Huo Xiuxiu entered the Gu family home and was led to the hall.

"Madam Gu, I apologize for disturbing you. I've come to ask Wusi to go for a walk. We made an appointment yesterday."

"You're a child of the Huo family, aren't you?" Old Madam Gu said kindly.

“It’s me, Madam. My name is Huo Xiuxiu. You can call me Xiuxiu or Little Huo.”

"Alright, alright, Wusi is in her own courtyard. I'll send someone to call her. Please sit down and have a cup of tea."

She seemed quite obedient, so Old Madam Gu didn't object to her interacting with others.

"Thank you, Madam. I'll sit and wait for a while."

Gu Wusi arrived quickly, walking with a brisk pace even in high heels: "Grandma, can I go out now?"

"Since Xiao Huo came to your house to ask you to go out and play, you can go with him. Just don't come back too late."

"Okay, let's go." Gu Wusi looked at Huo Xiuxiu.

Huo Xiuxiu stood up and said to Madam Gu with a smile, "Then, Madam, we'll be leaving now."

"Okay, you guys have fun."

After leaving the Gu family's house, Gu Wusi got into Huo Xiuxiu's car.

Where are we going?

"Let's go somewhere for tea first. Little Flower Brother is here too."

"He must have something to ask me." Gu Wusi knew the reason as soon as he heard it.

"what??"

Huo Xiuxiu was puzzled at first, and then she explained.

"He found out I asked you out, and he said he happened to be free. When did you two become closer than me?"

"Hmph, how are we familiar? He's the one who has something to ask me."

"What's wrong? Is there anything I don't know about you? Aren't we familiar with each other?"

"Didn't he tell you?" Gu Wusi looked at her suspiciously.

Huo Xiuxiu looked puzzled: "He didn't say anything. Why did Brother Xiaohua keep it from me?"

Seeing that she really didn't know, Gu Wusi looked away.

"You'll find out soon enough. Anyway, he was just using you as an excuse to ask me out and meet me, so he didn't intend to avoid you."

"I really don't know anything about this. You have to believe me. I just wanted to ask you out to have some fun." Huo Xiuxiu was afraid that she would misunderstand.

Xiao Hua didn't even give her a heads-up beforehand. What if Wu Si misunderstands?

"know."

After the underwater tomb incident, quite a few people investigated him.

Xie Yuchen didn't know where he got the information from.

She is someone who seems to have nothing to do with the affairs of the Nine Gates.

Being suddenly drawn into these things makes one want to get to the bottom of it.

Therefore, when she heard that Xie Yuchen was also there, she knew why he had come to see her.

Otherwise, why would someone so busy with work participate in a date between girls like them?

When they arrived, they saw Xie Yuchen already sitting in the private room.

This is a quiet tea shop with an elegantly decorated tea room.

"You've arrived! The tea is freshly brewed, would you like to try some?"

The two took their seats, with Huo Xiuxiu sitting on the inside.

Therefore, Gu Wusi could only sit on the outside, opposite Xie Yuchen.

She picked up her teacup, took a sip, and then said directly, "Boss Xie, you need to see me about something. Let's get straight to the point."

"Just call me by my name. I'm sorry, I didn't think this through and didn't let you know in advance."

Xie Yuchen noticed her attitude and spoke gently.

Upon hearing this, Huo Xiuxiu asked, "Brother Xiaohua, you didn't tell me beforehand, what is it?"

"I wanted to ask Miss Gu about the underwater tomb."

"What's wrong with the underwater tomb?" Gu Wusi feigned ignorance.

Xie Yuchen smiled and said, "Wu Xie is my childhood friend. I heard him mention you, and I was a little surprised that Miss Gu actually went to the underwater tomb."

"He asked you to help me find out my identity, right?"

He didn't deny it, but instead said, "After Wu Xie found out I knew you, he asked if you had gotten out safely."

"Thank you so much for him, he still remembers me."

"The Gu family is very prominent. Given Miss Gu's status, she shouldn't be involved in underground matters. Why would she get involved in this mess?"

Gu Wusi glanced at him but didn't say anything.

Xie Yuchen then spoke up, appearing very understanding: "Of course, if you don't want to answer, you don't have to. I was just asking casually."

He was curious why she, a perfectly well-off young lady, would get involved in those underground affairs.

But she was also very sensible, knowing that it was her right whether or not Gu Wusi answered.

However, the affairs of the Nine Gates are very complicated, and they cannot afford to let their guard down in the face of any unexpected events or people.

Gu Wusi had nothing he couldn't say.

"It was an accident. I was diving and I was accidentally pulled into the tomb."

No matter who asks, she always gives the same answer, regardless of whether others believe her or not.

Xie Yuchen looked at her expressionless face.

He couldn't see her purpose, nor could he guess what benefit she would gain from doing this.

And even though I know she's not telling the truth, or that there's a mix of truth and lies, I just can't get her to talk.

Gu Wusi's background and personality are easy to find out; basically, anyone in this circle can easily find out.

In their first few meetings, he also thought she was just an outgoing but uncomplicated, straightforward person.

But after a few words of conversation, it seems that things are not as simple as they appear.

Even Gu Wusi, a young lady who everyone thought only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, still held her own against him.

"Do you know that you're putting yourself in danger by doing this?" Xie Yuchen asked with a double meaning, carrying a subtle warning.

This danger refers not only to the danger inside the tomb, but also to the danger of being targeted by various forces.

Gu Wusi knew this, and understood the meaning behind his words.

But she didn't care at all; she was bound to be targeted sooner or later anyway.

Next, she will go to the Heavenly Palace on the Cloud Top, enter the Bronze Gate, and learn about the immortality of her body.

With all these things going on, it's obvious that he'll be closely watched by the Nine Gates, Qiu Dekao's side, and even the Wang family.

"Maybe, but I don't care, and I don't regret it," Gu Wusi said, half-jokingly.

It's true that she didn't care and had no regrets. What she did were all trivial matters, so there was no question of regret.

Upon hearing this, Xie Yuchen looked at her with surprise. Did this mean she was admitting that he knew something?

However, she didn't say for sure, as she couldn't be completely certain at the moment.

Regardless of what he was thinking, Gu Wusi finished the tea in his cup in one gulp.

He put down his teacup and stood up: "I hope you won't tell my family about this, otherwise I'll be nagged about it for a long time."
