Regarding the matter of Qin Shuirou, Gu Le was indeed very careful and ruthless. Without saying a word, he killed all the servants and maids who had served or seen Qin Shuirou in order to prevent Zhou Fan and the others from finding any clues.
However, it was a pity that there was still a flaw. Gu Le's plan was so detailed, but in the end, there was still a flaw. And this flaw was the alchemist who had once treated Qin ShuiRou.
It was also because of Gu Le's mistake that Zhou Fan and the others were able to find this clue.
Hearing that the old man said that he had seen Qin Shuirou in the Gu Family, Zhou Fan's brows were tightly knitted. At the same time, the old man said truthfully.
"When I went to treat her, this woman was seriously injured. However, according to Young Master Gu Le, this woman should be his future wife. The injuries on her body were caused by Demonic Beasts."
Facing Zhou Fan, the old man didn't hold back at all. Like spilling beans, he quickly sold Gu Le out.
When Zhou Fan heard that Gu Le actually claimed that Qin ShuiRou was his future wife, a cold smile flashed across his eyes as he thought to himself.
"You really don't know what's good for you. If that woman is really Qin Shuirou, how dare you, a mere Gu Family, covet her. Gu Le, Gu Le, you really don't know what kind of person Qin Shuirou's husband is. Looking at the entire Northern Star Realm, there are only a few people who can compare with Qin Shuirou's husband. You want to take advantage of the situation and snatch her away? You are simply courting death."
From the portrait of Qin Shuirou, Zhou Fan naturally knew that this was an indescribably beautiful woman. Perhaps Gu Le was blinded by lust and wanted to seize Qin Shuirou.
However, since he hadn't seen her yet, Zhou Fan wasn't sure if the woman the old man was talking about was Qin Shuirou. However, since there was a clue, Zhou Fan had to go in person.
Thinking that a few days ago, the head of the Gu Family swore to him that he had never seen the woman in the portrait, Zhou Fan sneered in his heart.
He was simply too audacious to even dare to lie to him.
A cold light flashed in his eyes, but on the surface, Zhou Fan still smiled and said to the old man in front of him, "Elder, thank you. Go back and wait. If the situation is confirmed, you will naturally be rewarded."
Without saying anything to the old man, and without revealing Qin Shuirou's identity, Zhou Fan sent the old man away. Then, he gathered the dozens of Baimo Shengzong disciples in Gu City.
In the front yard, dozens of Baimo Shengzong disciples gathered. Zhou Fan stood at the front. His face was somewhat gloomy and agitated, but he quickly hid these emotions. Looking at the crowd in front of him, Zhou Fan coldly shouted.
"Surround the Gu Family's mansion. No one is allowed to enter or leave. If anyone dares to disobey, no matter who it is, kill without mercy."
He directly ordered the soldiers to surround the Gu Family because he was afraid that the Gu Family would escape with Qin Shuirou. Hearing Zhou Fan's order, the dozens of Baimo Shengzong disciples present replied in unison, "Yes." Then, they strode out of the courtyard and went straight to the Gu Family's mansion.
Zhou Fan immediately took action. On the other hand, the Gu Family did not have a good time these days, especially the head of the Gu Family. It could be said that he did not have any appetite.
He had no choice but to be worried. The head of the Gu Family was naturally aware of Zhou Fan's actions in Gu City. He knew that they were wantonly searching for Qin Shuirou. Therefore, how could the head of the Gu Family not be nervous?
The head of the Gu Family had long had the urge to escape. However, he also knew that he could not make any unusual movements at this time. Otherwise, he would be guilty of a crime. At that time, he would attract Zhou Fan's suspicion. Therefore, although the head of the Gu Family was on tenterhooks these days, on the surface, he still looked calm and at ease. The Gu Family was still the same as usual. There was no difference.
He thought that it would be fine as long as he waited for Zhou Fan and the others to leave. However, on this day, the head of the Gu Family was cultivating as usual. At this moment, a Gu Family guard rushed into the room and said to the head of the Gu Family with a horrified expression.
"Head of the Gu Family, it's not good. The people of Baimo Shengzong have surrounded the mansion. Therefore, the entrance and exit have been blocked by the people of Baimo Shengzong."
Hearing the guard's words, the head of the Gu Family, who was cultivating with his eyes closed, suddenly opened his eyes. Then, he felt that the world was spinning.
It's over. This was the head of the Gu Family's first thought. Zhou Fan brought people to surround the Gu Family's mansion aggressively. Could it be that they found some clues? If that was the case, then the Gu Family was really finished.
The head of the Gu Family felt like he was about to faint. However, for the sake of the family, the head of the Gu Family forced himself to hold on. At the same time, he still had a last glimmer of hope in his heart. He only hoped that he was overthinking and that Zhou Fan and the others did not find anything.
Thinking of this, the head of the Gu Family forced himself to calm down. He stood up and said to the guard, "Is Zhou Fan here?"
"Yes, he is in the front hall." Hearing this, the guard replied.
Zhou Fan was also here. Hearing this, the head of the Gu Family's face turned even uglier. However, he did not say anything. Instead, he stood up and walked towards the front hall.
He still wanted to make a final struggle. However, when the head of the Gu Family arrived at the front hall, Zhou Fan's first sentence made him completely despair.
Without the slightest bit of politeness, Zhou Fan took the initiative to speak before the head of the Gu clan could even speak. "Head of the Gu clan, I heard that your son suddenly has an unmarried wife. May I know if this is true?"
A boom exploded in his mind. Hearing Zhou Fan's words, the head of the Gu Family was stunned. He was directly stunned on the spot. It's over. This time, it's really over. Zhou Fan actually found a clue ….
Looking at the head of the Gu Family's appearance, Zhou Fan knew that he was right. For a moment, he paid more attention to this clue. Without thinking too much, he looked at the few Baimo Shengzong disciples in front of him and said, "Search the entire mansion.
"Search. Search the entire Gu Clan's mansion from the inside to the outside."
Without further ado, Zhou Fan directly ordered the search. Hearing this, the few Baimo Shengzong disciples immediately responded and hurriedly left the front hall. Each of them held a portrait of Qin Shuirou in their hands and went straight to the backyard.
Facing Zhou Fan's order to search without any hesitation, the head of the Gu Family returned to his senses and said with an extremely ugly expression. "Sir, you are …."
"There's no need to say anymore. No matter what, your Gu Clan is still a large clan. In this small piece of land in Gu City, your days can be considered to be free and unfettered. Clan Head Gu, to tell you the truth, if you really hide the woman in the portrait, no matter what the reason is, it will be a disaster for your Gu Clan." Zhou Fan did not care about what the Gu Clan Head wanted to say and directly opened his mouth to interrupt.
