Chapter 1088 - Final Site of the Year of Survey and Anniversary Sacrifice
"Stop!" Gong Ou pinched her nose and called back her soul that had flown away, "I am standing in front of you alive and well, your intuition is only half accurate!"Shi Xiaonian stared at him blankly for a long while before finally reacting. She raised her hand and grabbed his slender fingers, as her voice became softer, "Are you saying that you really wanted to kill George?"
"Let's get in the car and talk." Gong Ou held her back.
"Tell me everything first." Shi Xiaonian asked with a trembling voice, "Have you thought about the consequences of coming here to assassinate you? The main building is full of Lancaster men inside and out.
What would she do if something happened to him?
Seeing that she was so nervous, Gong Ou's expression slowly darkened, becoming serious. He reached out to tug at her black hair, and said solemnly: "I admit, I was too rash."
"What's the use of you admitting it now, just in case …" Shi Xiaonian could not continue, she tilted her head to the side and was a little angry.
Seeing that, Gong Ou pulled her into his embrace and patted her back, "Alright, you know that everything that happened to me when I met you was messed up, didn't you wake me up at the critical moment?"
What's the use of being awake? You shouldn't be impulsive.
Shi Xiaonian angrily hit him twice, "I said we will face it together, I said that no one will be left behind, Gong Ou, you always go back on your words, how do I believe you?"Gong Ou allowed her to hit him, and his magnetic voice became spoiled, "I'm sick, I can't control myself. "I'm not angry, I'm not angry anymore."
"…"
Shi Xiaonian was speechless.
From the start, this man had already become capable of making fun of her. What could she possibly be angry about if he said that? He really would use her weakness to bully her.
Shi Xiaonian raised her eyebrows at her proudly as she let her take care of herself and led her to the carriage.
Once he got in the car, Gong Ou very attentively held her in front of him, and let her lean against him. He held her head with both his hands and massaged her temples with his index finger, "Are you comfortable?"
Was this considered fawning on her?
Shi Xiaonian helplessly thought, and leaned on him and asked, "Then why did you suddenly wake up?""I was stopped on the way by Neigel and the others. They are the clansmen who were fighting with George." "They used this Ghastly Shadow incident to negotiate with me and promised me benefits so that I could stand on their side during the family meeting."
So it was a family meeting just now.
"Aren't you supposed to help them with your personality?" Shi Xiaonian asked with suspicion. Gong Ou hated George to the bones, and adding this Ghastly Shadow incident, Gong Ou even had thoughts of killing George, didn't he?
"Don't worry, just listen to the story." Gong Ou pinched her nose, his black eyes looked at her lovingly and continued to tell her, "I agreed to it right away. Once I entered the main building, George showed me the report of his investigation."
"Investigation report?"
Shi Xiaonian was stunned.
"George had arranged many places for secret surveillance, so it was clear that the Ghastly Shadow incident was arranged by Ni Ge and the others. Guan Delin was also killed by them because they wanted to break up our cooperative relationship with each other." Gong Ou said, "The evidence is very clear, there is nothing suspicious at all."Hearing that, Shi Xiaonian immediately sat up from Gong Ou's embrace, and looked at him in shock: "Are you saying, that I have become a tool for the Lancaster family to use in internal strife?"
"That's right." Gong Ou said in a low voice, his eyes flashed with a trace of viciousness, "They dare to lay their hands on you, of course they have to pay the price."
As a result, he gave those people a ruthless blow in the family meeting, in order to vent his anger on Shi Xiaonian.
"This has nothing to do with George?"After walking in a wide circle, Shi Xiaonian finally understood the truth. She only felt that this was incomparably preposterous and thought that it was all George's fault, so she never thought of the second possibility.
She had actually become a tool for the internal conflict between the other families. How could they ever have imagined that?
"You could say that." Gong Ou nodded.As Shi Xiaonian thought about what happened here, she had a nagging feeling that something was amiss. However, a huge boulder was pressing down on him as she slowly landed, "They didn't mean to harm me or Gong Jia, you can rest easy now."
Gong Ou's gaze froze for a few seconds. Then he looked at her and pursed his lips, "Okay."
The Gong Jia's bodyguard stood there. Just as Shi Xiaonian was about to open the car door and get out, she heard Gong Ou say from behind her, "Go back first, I still have something to do."
Shi Xiaonian immediately turned his head back, "What else do you have to say for yourself? I have already been persuaded back by me."
"It's not enough just for those people in Neigel to get their hands on the property. I'll go arrange something else." Gong Ou stared at her and said.
With his morning experience, how could Shi Xiaonian be at ease with him alone. He decisively pulled his hand back from the door, "I'll go with you.""What's there to follow?"
"Because you have a record. Although you said you were going to bid farewell, you were actually going to assassinate him." Shi Xiaonian stared at his handsome face and said.
"…"
"Furthermore, Spiritshadow and Flying Knives did not really hurt me, and not getting any real estate is already a fatal revenge for them. Now they are worrying, why are they still taking revenge on president Gong?" Shi Xiaonian said as if she saw through him, "It must be something else, right?"
"…"
Gong Ou stared at her, after a long while, he lowered his head and fiercely kissed her face, then gritted his teeth and said angrily, "I really don't know if it's a good or bad thing that you understand me this well!"
He had guessed correctly.
Shi Xiaonian touched her own face that had been kissed, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm going somewhere." Gong Ou said in a deep voice, and glanced at her, "I'll bring you with me."What do you mean by "carry"? If she didn't expose him, he would have to go alone.
The carriage once again drove forward slowly in front of the ancient villa, and after driving for a distance, Gong Ou dragged Shi Xiaonian out of the carriage.The bodyguard led the way through some small paths and through the trees. He was extremely careful and cautious along the way, checking for hidden surveillance.
Shi Xiaonian saw that all of them had serious expressions, and did not even make a sound, and could not help but become nervous as well.
"Second Young Master, we're here."
A bodyguard whispered.Shi Xiaonian followed their line of sight and looked ahead. In the distance, she saw a building that took up a lot of space, the floors were not high, and its appearance looked like a huge arched bridge. It was kind of like an opera house.
There were many bodyguards in black uniforms walking around the building. They wore black helmets and held long spears in their hands.
"What is this place?" Shi Xiaonian could not help but ask in a low voice. She had restrained her curiosity all along the way.
Gong Ou stood by her side, one of his hands holding onto her shoulder, and said coldly: "The theater in Lancaster family, has been designated as the venue for the annual tribute. Mo Nuo's grave is not far away in the forest."
"I didn't expect the final location to be so far away from where I was staying." Shi Xiaonian said in surprise, the distance was too far, let alone walking, the car had been driving for a long time just now.
Gong Ou wrapped his arms around her shoulders and coldly asked the bodyguard, "Have you checked everything?"
"I've checked. There is a relatively weak spot where the guards can enter the theater, so it won't attract too much attention. There's no one inside the theater, and it's said that George didn't want anyone to enter the spirit hall that was prepared beforehand." The bodyguard whispered.
After saying that, the bodyguards began to pace closer to the theater.
Shi Xiaonian was puzzled, she asked Gong Ou: "You actually had people scout this place, when did they scout it out?"
"I have the entire manor under investigation." Gong Ou said."…"
Formidable.
No wonder he had dared to bring their entire family to Lancaster Hall, and had done so many small things.
Shi Xiaonian followed them and asked in a low voice, "But why did we come to the theater?"
Although the crisis was over now, according to the procedures, they should be cleaning up and leaving by now.
"Do you still remember the words Guan Delin and Li Qingyan did not finish?"
"Anniversary sacrifice." Shi Xiaonian blurted out, as she understood something, "Are you saying that what Guan Delin wanted to say at that time was the final venue for the annual tribute? The theater? ""I'm just here to take a look. It's just a mourning hall. There aren't many people here, but they're all elites." Gong Ou said coldly.
While they were talking, the bodyguard had led them to a place where the guards were relatively weak, knocking one of the guards to the ground without a sound.
One of the bodyguards quickly put on the man's equipment and helmet. The rest of the bodyguards quickly pulled the rest of the men into hiding.Shi Xiaonian could not help but think proudly that no matter how talented they were, they were still not brought here by Gong Ou.
Someone was on guard, so Gong Ou brought Shi Xiaonian in through the small side door, and the moment they entered, they would be at the backstage of the theater. Now was clearly not the time for acting, black and white drapes were placed on the table and on the floor, filled with a heavy sense of sadness.
Shi Xiaonian stepped across the cloth and said, "Actually, when I was looking at the schedule, I also felt that it was strange. In fact, there were already enough memorial service a few days ago, so why did they have to arrange a memorial service on the last day, isn't that a bit too repetitive?"The final day of the ceremony was to present the flowers in the cemetery, followed by a memorial service, which would be the end of the day.
Hearing that, Gong Ou stopped in his tracks, and stared at her with his unfathomable black eyes.
"What's wrong?"Shi Xiaonian asked.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" She never told him.
He hadn't even taken a proper look at the process sheet.
"Is that important?" Shi Xiaonian asked, "I also asked Secretary Guan, she arranged this watch for me, because George wanted to help his daughter for a few more days, but the activities for the anniversary didn't differ, and can only be repeated, so I didn't take it to heart."
It wasn't intentional, was it?Gong Ou stared at her, then suddenly smiled and pulled her inside, "Let's go, looks like we came here today was the right choice!"
There was a hint of excitement in his voice.What was he excited about? What did he want to see?
Aren't they coming home now?Shi Xiaonian blinked her eyes for some reason and followed Gong Ou through a piece of black and white cloth.
