As soon as they arrived at Three-Way Black Market, Gu took Gu Beiyue directly to Golden Wing Palace.
Gu Beiyue was very surprised. "Since when did Golden Wing Palace fall into your hands?"
Gu Qishao was too lazy to explain, but carelessly went to sit on the gold-inlaid throne in Golden Wing Hall's main hall. He crossed his legs and lazily ordered, "Someone come, call the head manager over!"
Gu Beiyue glanced at him and chose a seat beside him. He smiled helplessly and didn't pursue the matter.
When the head manager of Golden Wing Palace arrived, he immediately knelt. "This subordinate greets Master! Welcome back to the palace, Master. "
"This is the head of Medical City, Doctor Gu, Gu Beiyue. He's my brother! "Gu introduced him.
The head manager didn't dare to be negligent and immediately bowed deeply, much less the title of head of Medical City.
Gu Beiyue didn't put on any airs. He was modest and polite, like a flawless piece of white jade, gentle and warm. The head manager had seen many important people, but he was immediately impressed by Gu Beiyue.
"What's the situation at Myriad Merchant Hall?" Gu asked.
The first thing he did after returning was to check on the results. He was the one who had stirred up the storm in Myriad Merchant Hall's gambling house and auction house. More accurately, he had stirred up all the gambling houses in Three-Way Black Market.
Although Gu Beiyue was a bit confused, he sat quietly to the side and listened.
"Master, Myriad Merchant Hall's gambling houses are all closed."
Gu was quite satisfied with the head manager's words. He lazily tilted his head and looked at Gu Beiyue. "Money is the Di Clan's lifeline. If we want to take care of them, we have to cut off their source of income!"
Gu Beiyue nodded thoughtfully, agreeing with this point of view.
"What about the auction house? Is it closed as well? "Gu asked carelessly. He had full confidence in this storm.
The head shopkeeper silently wiped away his cold sweat and truthfully reported, "Master, Myriad Merchant Hall's auction house hasn't opened for several days. It's about to close, but …"
"But what?" Gu became alert. Could it be that there were more variables? Reputation was the most important thing in an auction! Unless Myriad Merchant Hall found the traitor and could prove that they had been framed, this black mark could not be washed away!
If Myriad Merchant Hall found the traitor, wouldn't Golden Wing Hall be exposed?
"But I don't know where Myriad Merchant Hall got the ability to cooperate with Kangan Private Bank and play some kind of debt game. In short, they've borrowed Kangan Private Bank's reputation, and their business is even more prosperous than before. They've stolen a lot of our business!" The head shopkeeper answered honestly.
Before Gu could understand what was going on, the quiet Gu Beiyue suddenly exclaimed, "Kangan Bank?"
"Exactly! No matter how big the problem is, as long as Kangan Private Bank is willing to step in, it won't be a problem! "The head shopkeeper could not help but sigh.
"Ruining this old man's business?" Of course Gu knew of Kangan Private Bank's wealth, but he didn't think much of it. As long as he was unhappy, he'd accompany them to the end, no matter the price.
He narrowed his eyes, his expression dangerous. But Gu Beiyue's whispered words made his face pale.
Gu Beiyue murmured, "Seventh Young Master, Kangan Private Bank's master is … Long Fei Ye."
Gu gave a start before he exclaimed, "What did you say?"
"There's something fishy about this. There must be some inside story." Gu Beiyue grew serious. Long Fei Ye had always known that Myriad Merchant Hall was part of Cloud Realm Trade Consortium. It was already good enough that he didn't make a move against them, so why would he use Kangan Private Bank's reputation to help them?
While Gu's heart was still in turmoil, Gu Beiyue had long calmed down and looked at the head shopkeeper. "You're certain that Kangan Private Bank is cooperating with Myriad Merchant Hall? Have you found out who's pulling the strings? "
Myriad Merchant Hall and Kangan Private Bank had never cooperated before, so there had to be someone pulling the strings.
"That's not clear. This subordinate will investigate immediately."
The head shopkeeper was about to leave when Gu Beiyue called him back. "Hold on, is Myriad Merchant Hall managed by the Council of Elders, or is Ning Cheng personally in charge?"
"A few days ago, there was an explosion at Blacktower. Everyone says that Ning Cheng brought along the red-robed men. There are many rumors, but this subordinate hasn't been able to find out the truth. Myriad Merchant Hall has always been managed by the Council of Elders. You can even see a few of them at the auction house these days, "the head shopkeeper replied honestly.
The head shopkeeper had no idea what was going on at Blacktower, but Gu and Gu Beiyue had a rough idea. When they passed by Blacktower, they saw that it had already been reduced to ruins.
Gu Beiyue turned to Gu and said, "Let's find out more about Blacktower first before we discuss the rest?"
Gu recovered his wits and silently sighed with emotion. Gu Beiyue really hid himself too deeply. He was a doctor, but he knew the business world and Three-Way Black Market like the back of his hand!
Gu wasn't so patient. His face was gloomy as he said, "Find out what? I'll go find Ning Cheng right now! "
Gu Beiyue stopped him and said, "I keep feeling that there's more to Kangan Private Bank's cooperation with Myriad Merchant Hall than meets the eye."
After some hesitation, he said to Gu, "I'll take you somewhere. Do you dare?"
"Where?" Gu didn't understand.
Gu Beiyue smiled faintly. "You'll know when we get there."
"Then let's go!" Besides a certain cave in Cloud Realm Continent, there was nowhere Gu didn't dare to go.
Gu Beiyue brought Gu to none other than East Origin Hall.
When Gu followed Gu Beiyue out of the secret passageway and into the back courtyard of East Origin Hall, Gu couldn't help but exclaim, "Well done, Gu Beiyue. So you're the mastermind behind East Origin Hall!"
Gu Beiyue smiled and replied modestly, "Seventh Young Master misunderstands. This one is only a poor doctor. This is … "
Gu Beiyue couldn't help but laugh.
Gu looked doubtful. "What do you mean?"
"Seventh Young Master, this is – this is the East Qin crown prince's territory," Gu Beiyue said.
In a flash, Gu's entire body seemed to stiffen. Only his eyes could move, and he rolled them around like a marionette.
Wasn't it enough to be attacked twice in a day? Both attacks came from the same person!
"Long Fei Ye …" Gu gritted his teeth.
A complicated look flickered past Gu Beiyue's eyes. He didn't know whether to joke or not, but said seriously, "Seventh Young Master, I can't guarantee anything else. But I, Gu Beiyue, can guarantee with my life that Long Fei Ye isn't using the princess. "
Was Gu Beiyue trying to coax peace?
Perhaps Gu Qishao and Long Feiye were born to be incompatible, because he only laughed coldly and didn't reply.
"There must be an inside story behind Kangan Private Bank and Myriad Merchant Hall's cooperation. If you ask here, it'll definitely be truer than what you found at Myriad Merchant Hall!" Gu Beiyue explained. "Long Fei Ye wouldn't lie to me. Moreover, I have to let Long Fei Ye know as soon as possible that Bai Yanqing has no more bargaining chips in his hands."
Gu's face was still gloomy, but he still followed Gu Beiyue towards the East Origin Hall's Council of Elders.
On the way, he didn't spare a glance at East Origin Hall and discovered that it was even more luxurious than Myriad Merchant Hall. Although he didn't want to admit it, he had to. Long Fei Ye was Cloud Realm Continent's richest man.
Soon enough, they ran into a guard. Gu Beiyue immediately told him to send word that he wanted to see the head elder.
Who knew that not long after the attendant left, a familiar figure would run towards them.
Tang Li!
Gu narrowed his eyes. "You brat, you won quite a bit of money at Thousand Gold Pavilion!"
Tang Li looked Gu Beiyue up and down, at a loss for words. In the end, he blurted out, "Doctor Gu, my big bro misses you every day!"
Gu Beiyue gave a start, but Gu only laughed out loud. "Heheh, Gu Beiyue, Long Fei Ye treats you with deep affection!"
Tang Li realized he'd said the wrong thing in his excitement. He was about to explain when Gu Beiyue smiled. "Tang Clan Head, I wonder where the East Qin crown prince is right now? Did he receive the secret letter I sent him? And also, why is Kangan Private Bank cooperating with Myriad Merchant Hall? "
Gu Beiyue's questions were all critical. Tang Li immediately told him everything that had happened recently.
Gu Beiyue listened attentively from beginning to end, while Gu Qishao's face was a myriad of colors that kept changing.
When he heard about the "hostages", pain flashed through his eyes. When he heard that Ning Cheng had been kidnapped, he fell into deep thought. And when he heard that Han Yunxi had used less than ten days to resolve the crisis in Myriad Merchant Hall's gambling house and auction house and take control of Myriad Merchant Hall's Council of Elders, he smiled bitterly. There was nothing he could do …
Everything was explained clearly. Han Yunxi had already made her choice and was fighting side by side with Long Fei Ye. What else did he have to fight for?
Actually, he hadn't lost to Long Fei Ye, but to Han Yunxi.
As long as he was willing, with his immortal body, he could single-handedly fight against all forces and obtain everything.
As long as she was willing, he could give her anything.
Unfortunately, she wasn't willing.
Han Yunxi could overlook such a deep national enmity. Even if they were to meet on the battlefield, Han Yunxi would still choose Long Fei Ye. Just how much did his Poison lass like Long Feiye?
His original hot-bloodedness seemed to have been extinguished by cold water. Gu shrugged and smiled. He didn't seem to be dispirited. He was still frivolous and did things his own way.
Under Tang Li and Gu Beiyue's gaze, he smiled and said nonchalantly, "As long as Poison Girl likes it."
He turned to leave after he finished speaking, but Gu Beiyue quickly stopped him. "Where are you going?"
"To help Poison Girl find medicine. Fractures hurt a lot," Gu said calmly. Just a moment ago, he had been so full of himself, wanting to conquer the world for her. Now, he couldn't care less about anything other than the small matter of her wound hurting.
Gu Beiyue suddenly realized that his previous worries were somewhat laughable. Looking at Gu's back, he suddenly felt that his heart was no longer as lonely as before.
Xiao Qi, do you know that I love her too?
The Seventh Young Master had already walked far away when Tang Li suddenly remembered something and shouted anxiously, "Gu, Mu Ling'er has been kidnapped! She and Ning Jing have been kidnapped in Myriad Merchant Hall! "
He had been too excited just now and had been talking about his brother and sister-in-law. He had actually forgotten about this.
Gu stopped abruptly. He finally remembered that he had left Mu Ling'er behind in Myriad Merchant Hall. He turned around and asked, "Who did it?"
Tang Li named the suspect. He had come to East Origin Hall today to dispatch men to help track down Deacon Jin and Uncle Cheng's whereabouts.
Gu Beiyue made a prompt decision. "Seventh Young Master, stay behind and help Tang Li. I'll go to Hundred Poisons Sect. The princess' leg has been recovering for so long. She'll be fine after a few rounds of acupuncture. Leave it to me. "
