Seeing that the flames of war between the two men were about to spread, Zhou Haoqin walked over with large strides and whispered something into Gu Tingshen's ears.

"Nian Xi, I'm going out for a while. Wait for me here."

Gu Tingshen lovingly rubbed Huo Niannian's head, as if he wanted to erase the smell of him.

Huo Niannian could not help but burst out laughing and nod her head.

After Gu Tingshen left, Mu Li stared at Huo Niannian's face that had an uncontrollable smile and joy on it. "You like him very much?"

"Hmm?" Is there a problem?

"It's fine, I'll go over to take a breather." Mu Li pointed to the balcony, and nodded.

She also felt that the room was stuffy, but she couldn't leave without permission.

Huo Zhiyuan had already prepared the things that he needed for the banquet early in the morning. Unexpectedly, his subordinate had come in the afternoon to report, saying that they had found some movement around the villa.

Thinking about what Gu Tingshen had said, Huo Zhiyuan started to panic a little.

"Dong, dong, dong!"

There was a knock on the door, Huo Zhiyuan said, "Come in." As he said that, he put down the information in his hands. As expected, Gu Tingshen's tall figure walked over.

"Uncle Huo, you were looking for me?"

Gu Tingshen had a natural grace about him, to the point that even Huo Zhiyuan didn't dare to face him head on. Huo Zhiyuan invited Gu Tingshen to sit down, then poured him a cup of tea, "Tingshen, what you said last time..."

"Uncle Huo, I believe you should understand that I will do what I told you to do."

Gu Tingshen stopped Huo Zhiyuan's actions.

In reality, he could have resolved the situation peacefully, but Huo Zhiyuan was not speaking the truth. Heh, it was all caused by Huo Zhiyuan.

"What do you want!" When Huo Zhiyuan heard how tough Gu Tingshen's attitude was, he panicked and could not help but raise his voice, "Gu Tingshen, what benefits do you have by doing this?" Huo Zhiyuan was patient.

An old and weather-beaten face, unexpectedly looked somewhat sinister under the light of the lamp, and somewhat imploring.

He was afraid that he and Cheng Wan had some sort of relationship. If the matter of "a leech for a crown prince" exploded, then …

"You don't have to care what benefits it will bring me. But we need to get to the bottom of this. " Gu Tingshen slowly touched his fingers.

The reason why he chose today, was so that Huo Zhiyuan had no path of retreat.

Gu Tingshen's eyes seemed to be ignited with a small flame, causing him to feel fear for the first time.

After a while, he thumped his own thigh, "I say, can I do it? As long as you don't tell anyone about what happened today. Leave some face for our Huo Family. "

Huo Zhiyuan had already received the news, the doctor was already under Gu Tingshen's control. Gu Tingshen wanted to clarify this at today's banquet. Huo Zhiyuan naturally did not dare to take this risk. At that time, the entire Huo family would be humiliated.

"Gu Tingshen, may I ask, why are you so stubborn?"

Just as Gu Tingshen was about to leave, Huo Zhiyuan suddenly asked.

Gu Tingshen's tall body stopped, the darkness shrouded his face, and his expression could not be clearly seen. Only, his voice was cold, as if it came from hell, "I want the truth."

Huo Niannian was the Huo Family's child.

She had been out on her own for so many years, she should have come back.

Gu Tingshen had already sent Huo Niannian's and Cheng Wan's hair to be appraised. Tonight, the results would be out.

Gu Tingshen walked out of the room with large strides. When he saw the door of the study close in front of him, he felt as if his entire body had been beaten up.
