Initially, Gu Qingchen did not want to pry into her master’s secrets. She realized that her master looked at her strangely, so she used mind reading on him.
However, Gu Qingchen was surprised by what she read from her master.
Suddenly, Gu Qingchen felt a little strange. What were the things that her master did not finish thinking about?
Who did he think she was?
Before this, she had never thought that Doctor Hua was a mysterious man. She only felt that his medical skills were superb. At the same time, he liked to prank, and she had never something was wrong with her master.
But today, she clearly felt that her master was hiding something.
Her master’s expression just now and the doubts in his heart had a hint of wariness toward her.
Could it be that Master had some enemies? Did he think that she was a spy?
This did not seem to make sense. Even if there were enemies, Master would not be so afraid.
It was too strange. It was too weird.
“Master, are you alright?” Gu Qingchen wanted to continue reading other information from Doctor Hua’s mind, but unfortunately, Doctor Hua stopped his thinking.
This aroused Gu Qingchen’s curiosity. It was as if her heart had been scratched by a cat.
Doctor Hua shook his head. His tone was no longer the same as before. “I’m fine.”
Gu Qingchen stared at Doctor Hua. After a long while, she could only say, “It’s good that you’re fine. A few workers from the Hundred Herb Hall were injured, so I let them go back to rest. Master also needs to rest.”
Doctor Hua nodded with a complicated expression. After he sat down, he asked Gu Qingchen tentatively, “Girl, what’s up with these foreigners? Do you know them?”
Gu Qingchen knew what he meant. It seemed that her master’s concern came from these mercenaries.
“I haven’t tell you yet. These people are the mercenaries who chased after Rong Yu and me. They were caught by Rong Yu’s men, and they are now my guards. When I came here today, I found that you were taken away by someone from the Deng family, and I didn’t call the police. I thought these mercenaries might be useful, so I asked them to save you. It seems that they are quite useful.”
Gu Qingchen said it frankly because she was telling the truth. Since Master was afraid of these foreign mercenaries, she might as well make it clear so that he would not have any doubts.
Sure enough, Doctor Hua was stunned when he heard it, and then he seemed to let out a sigh of relief.
Gu Yi understood what Gu Qingchen said. He was also a person with character, so he immediately said, “We are professional mercenaries, and we are just saving a person. We are totally overqualified for this job!”
Obviously, Gu Yi was dissatisfied with Gu Qingchen’s words and tried his best to prove his strength.
Gu Qingchen laughed and looked at Gu Yi, “Oh, it seems you have learned Chinese quite well these few days. You even know how to use some big words. Since you are so good, go and learn some ancient poems. Since you are so strong, this small matter should not be a problem.”
Gu Yi was instantly dumbfounded. Of course, he knew what ancient Chinese poetry was, and he had heard that many Chinese people could not understand it, let alone a foreigner like him.
However, he had just boasted, and now he could not lose the battle, so he had to bite the bullet and agree.
Only god knew that Gu Yi and the others’ hearts were bleeding. They secretly scolded Gu Qingchen for being too vicious.
They were not afraid of being beaten, scolded, or tortured. Still, these foreign mercenaries were asked to learn the most difficult Chinese language and even ancient poetry. It was like insufferable torture to them.
They all thought Chinese was really too difficult to learn. Those ancient poetries written by the dead poets were the worst part.
Compared to Gu Yi and the others who were bleeding in their hearts, Doctor Hua was much more relieved. It was not difficult for him to see that the relationship between Gu Qingchen and these mercenaries was a little strange.
It seemed that these mercenaries were not very impressed by Gu Qingchen. They were more in line with Gu Qingchen’s story and did not seem to be sent by that organization.
It seemed that he was really too sensitive.
It made sense. Although Gu Qingchen was very crafty, she had a pure heart, unlike the people of that organization.
Organization?
Gu Qingchen’s eyes never left her master, so she naturally read these things.
But, what exactly was the organization Master thinking about? It actually made Master so fearful.
“You and that kid from the Rong family were even chased by mercenaries? Humph, that kid from the Rong family must have caused this!”
At this time, Doctor Hua’s tone changed again, returning to his usual tone. It seemed that he believed Gu Qingchen’s words.
Gu Qingchen coughed and said, “Master, I caused the incident last time. It was a business dispute.”
Doctor Hua was a little surprised, “You little girl, what did you do? How could you have hired mercenaries to kill you? Did you send people to kidnap me today?”
Gu Qingchen’s mouth twitched a few times, “Master, please don’t add any more accusations to me. It was the Deng family who did it. Who asked you to retire? This was your own fault, and it has nothing to do with me. I was implicated by you this time. Hundred Herb Hall suffered heavy losses because of you, and my foundation was destroyed. Tell me… who should I look for to settle this score?”
“Of course, it’s the Deng family!” Doctor Hua said almost immediately. “I am also a victim. Moreover, I have given you everything. You can’t ask me to compensate for the losses, right?”
Doctor Hua knew his disciple really well. He must not be tricked by Gu Qingchen.
Gu Qingchen smiled. “Master, I’m a businessman.”
Doctor Hua quickly covered his head and said, “Aiya, my head hurts a little. I’m going to rest for a while.”
Every time Gu Qingchen said that, he would be shaved off a layer of oil, so it was better to leave.
Looking at her master’s scoundrel look, Gu Qingchen could not help but laugh.
Gu Yi and the others secretly muttered to themselves. It seemed that they really could not provoke Gu Qingchen. Didn’t they see that Gu Qingchen’s master was afraid of her!
“Gu Yi, leave two people to monitor the Deng family from today onwards. Remember, don’t alert the enemy. Just keep a lookout from afar and don’t get too close. “The Deng family is no small matter. Although your skills are not bad, you still have to be careful and don’t expose yourselves.”
“If it’s just long-distance surveillance, we definitely won’t expose ourselves. I’ll leave this matter to Gu Qi and Gu Ba. They are the two best at surveillance here.”
Gu Qingchen nodded. She still believed Gu Yi’s words.
When they intercepted her and Rong Yu, she did not notice them before they launched an attack.
Since Deng Qingya and the others dared to lay their hands on her, she would fight back. Now, she needed to wait for the news from Ding Hao. After she met Deng Gao, she could punish Deng Qingya and the others.
When she was about to go back that night, Gu Qingchen suddenly remembered that Rong Yu only had one bed. She bought a bed and transported it directly to Dynasty Hotel to avoid embarrassment.
Now that there was an extra bed, they did not have to sleep together.
