Gao Wu: She who transforms into a broken body becomes stronger by adding points Chapter 154

Beneath the same moonlight.

Imperial Capital, Weiming Clubhouse, top-floor luxury suite.

Gu Jinzhi moved a chair and sat upright in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, quietly gazing at the city night scene outside.

Zeng Yi followed suit, also dragging a chair over, but he sat on it backwards.

He rested his arms on the back of the chair, his chin propped on his hands, looking out along Gu Jinzhi’s line of sight.

He stared for a long time, but couldn’t see anything special.

He really couldn’t understand how Gu Jinzhi could have the patience to maintain one posture for half an hour.

Finally, Zeng Yi couldn’t hold back any longer.

“I say, Da Zhi, you called me out, I thought you had a change of heart before your wedding and wanted to have a bachelor party.”

“But you just brought me here to look at the night view? If you want to see the night view, go to the top floor of my Jianguo Building, it’s a 360-degree view, isn’t it better than here?”

He leaned forward, a mischievous smile on his face.

“Be honest, do you miss your sister-in-law?”

“Then you climbed in through the window, climbed onto your sister-in-law’s bed, and then, hehe…”

Gu Jinzhi, listening to him getting more and more outrageous, finally deigned to withdraw his gaze from the window and glanced at him coldly.

“Zeng Yi, I have a piece of advice I want to give you.”

Zeng Yi scratched his head, his face full of curiosity: “What advice?”

Gu Jinzhi’s voice was flat, without any emotion: “The day you meet, if your sister-in-law’s hand touches the buckle on her belt, remember to run immediately.”

Zeng Yi: ???

Belt buckle?

He tilted his head and pondered for a long time, a flash of lightning in his mind, and he suddenly remembered the Jiang family’s unique weapon – the Cicada Wing Soft Sword!

A chill ran straight from his tailbone to the back of his head, Zeng Yi shivered all over, chuckled awkwardly, and looked around like a thief.

“Da Zhi, I was just joking, don’t tell your sister-in-law…”

Gu Jinzhi ignored him, his gaze drifting back to the window.

The suite fell silent again.

After about another half an hour, until Zeng Yi began to scratch his ears and cheeks, wriggling all over, Gu Jinzhi’s voice finally sounded faintly.

“Zeng Yi, your third uncle, is he in the Security Department?”

Zeng Yi was stunned for a moment, not realizing how the topic had jumped here, but he still nodded honestly: “Yes, Deputy Minister of the Security Department, what’s wrong?”

Gu Jinzhi’s fingers tapped lightly on the armrest of the chair, his eyes narrowed slightly, the night scene settling in his pupils.

After a few breaths, he said, “I want to ask your third uncle for a favor, check the biometric records of ‘Jiang Xue’, and see if anyone has tampered with them recently.”

Hearing this, Zeng Yi was completely dumbfounded, his mouth open, and it took him a long time to catch his breath.

The playful expression on his face instantly faded away, replaced by an incredulous look of astonishment.

“You suspect my sister-in-law… is not my sister-in-law?”

“No, you suspect my sister-in-law is someone else pretending to be her?!”

Gu Jinzhi pursed his lips, the lines of his profile appearing even colder in the glow of the city’s neon lights.

“Just check it if I tell you to, why so much nonsense.”

Zeng Yi gasped, all thoughts of playing around gone.

He dragged his chair next to Gu Jinzhi, put a hand on his shoulder, and lowered his voice to ask, “Did Aunt Liang do it?”

Gu Jinzhi’s eyelashes trembled, but there was no emotion on his face.

“It’s just a guess, it needs to be verified,” he said.

“Still guessing?” Zeng Yi’s eyes widened like copper bells, “Da Zhi, don’t I know you? Would you ask me to check without being at least 70- 80% sure?”

The more he thought about it, the more frightened he became, but then a doubt popped up in his mind.

“That’s not right… Where would Aunt Liang find someone who has reached the Great Perfection of Blood Nourishment to replace Jiang Xue? This doesn’t make sense at all!”

Gu Jinzhi’s thin lips were pressed into a line: “That’s why I said, it’s just a guess.”

“Hurry up and do it.”

“Okay, okay, I’ll call now, and have my third uncle check it overnight!”

Zeng Yi immediately took out his phone and quickly found his third uncle’s number.

However, just as his thumb was about to press the green dial button, a large hand with distinct joints suddenly reached over and pressed down on his hand.

Zeng Yi blinked, met Gu Jinzhi’s deep and complex eyes, and was completely speechless.

You’re the one who told me to call, and you’re the one who won’t let me call, what are you trying to do?

Gu Jinzhi lowered his eyes, his gaze lingering on the bright phone screen for a long time, so long that Zeng Yi felt his hand was sore, before he slowly opened his mouth.

“Forget it, don’t check.”

“Today, what I said, once you leave this door, just pretend you didn’t hear it.”

Zeng Yi was about to go crazy: “No, Da Zhi, how can this be forgotten just like that?”

Gu Jinzhi released his hand, didn’t explain further, just turned his head to the window, like a silent statue.

Zeng Yi looked at him like this, feeling anxious and speechless.

It wasn’t good to just sit there, he remembered what the butler had reported during the day, and decided to change the subject, hoping to ease the atmosphere.

“By the way, Da Zhi… Brother,” he cleared his throat, “Around the 20th of last month, you went to my martial arts gym to get beaten up… oh no, to train.”

“After it was over, there was a little girl delivering medicine who wanted to seduce you, remember?”

Gu Jinzhi made a single sound from his throat.

“Yeah.”

Zeng Yi became interested and continued, “Later, I had people check it out, that girl is from the Zhang family, and there’s more than just her.”

“In total, we caught eight or nine people inside and outside Kuangsha and Weiming, all arranged by the Zhang family, and their mission… hehe, was to find ways to climb into your bed.”

Gu Jinzhi’s reaction was still calm, as if he was listening to something that had nothing to do with him.

“Just handle it as you see fit.”

Zeng Yi shrugged, feeling a little stifled.

However, when he thought about the Zhang family’s current situation, he couldn’t help but chuckle.

“Have you heard about Zhang Yansheng’s matter?” He was laughing so hard that he had difficulty speaking.

Gu Jinzhi raised his eyebrows and turned his head to look at Zeng Yi.

Seeing that he was interested, Zeng Yi quickly said, “You don’t know how miserable he is now, hahaha~ hahahaha~”

“The grandmasters from the Martial Arts Alliance and the Investigation Bureau in the Imperial Capital are said to have scheduled their visits in shifts to ‘consult’ him.”

“Especially Ding Pojun from the Rift Investigation Bureau, who was suspended for a year… he runs to the Zhang family’s mansion every other day, and he hits hard, especially targeting the face.”

“Last time, the Martial Arts Alliance held a grandmaster martial arts conference, and that old Zhang Yansheng attended with a stiff upper lip, but half of his face was caved in… hahaha, it killed me!”

Gu Jinzhi’s mouth twitched: “……”

He admitted that he almost lost it.

Zeng Yi has the potential of a Martial Immortal when it comes to creating atmosphere…

When Zeng Yi finally finished laughing, Gu Jinzhi patted him on the shoulder, his expression suddenly becoming extremely serious.

“Zeng Yi, I’m asking you for a favor.”

Zeng Yi blinked and became serious as well, “Tell me, between us, there’s no need for the word ‘favor’.”

Gu Jinzhi took a deep breath, then exhaled, and said, “Lend me a grandmaster to protect me until the day I join the army.”

“Hiss—” Zeng Yi gasped, asking blankly, “Is someone trying to harm you?”

Gu Jinzhi nodded, his words shocking, “My great aunt is likely already in the Imperial Capital.”

“She is recognized as the number one person below the grandmaster level… I suspect she will attack me…”

“Your great aunt, attacking you?” Zeng Yi felt like his brain was about to burn out.
