Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 38 A Vengeful and Petty Person

"He... he also hid Madam Lan's belongings?!" Huo Tingchen could hardly contain his anger.

She suddenly stood up and was about to leave: "I'm going to settle the score with him!"

"Stop." Gu Chen calmed down and casually placed the broken cup on the table.

Wu Zhao also said, "Wait a minute, what else did Uncle Ni say on the phone?"

“Sigh.” Uncle Ni sighed, “They want to move into the old house over there, and they also want the things that the gentleman brought back from the island.”

Wu Zhao snorted coldly: "Tsk tsk, what an idiot."

She looked at the indignant Huo Tingchen and said, "After the jade pendant was cut, there were quite a few scraps left. If they want them, just give them to them."

"Don't worry, I've already taken what they really wanted."

That pure spiritual energy had become the core of the talisman array within the jade tablet, inseparable from it.

Moreover, the jade tablet already contained Gu Chen's aura, so even if others wanted to take it away, they couldn't do anything about that spiritual energy.

"No rush." ​​Gu Chen tapped the table. "Let's eat first."

A fire seemed to be burning in his heart, but the jade pendant on his chest emitted a faint, cool aura.

This helped calm him down from his volatile temper.

Across from Gu Chen, Wu Zhao was happily sipping his soup when he subconsciously touched his chest.

After dinner, Huo Tingchen gave Wu Zhao a new cell phone, saying, "I tried to contact you before but couldn't. When I asked, I found out that the Shen family wouldn't even give you this little bit of money."

"It already contains my phone number, my uncle's phone number, and our home phone number. I can call them directly if I need anything when I go out in the future."

Wu Zhao took the phone: "Thank you."

She fiddled with her phone for a bit, then casually asked, "By the way, how are Wu Xingyun and Wu Shiyu doing?"

“Wu Shiyu and the others have already returned to the capital. She needs to go back as soon as possible to see the military and police,” Huo Tingchen replied, then added:

"Wu Xingyun did contact me before he left, saying that the man you brought back from the island was seriously injured and showed signs of infection."

"So he took his people back to the capital for emergency treatment and asked you to contact him when you go to the capital."

"Oh, by the way, I've also entered his contact information into your phone."

Why are you leaving in such a hurry?

Wu Zhao twirled the ring on her finger.

"I saw that person's face and it looked like he was trying to survive a near-death experience. Although it was dangerous, he was able to pull through."

Gu Chen then said, "You can go see him after we return to the capital."

"Uncle, are you preparing to return to the house to see..."

Before Huo Tingchen could finish speaking, he saw Gu Chen shake his head.

“It’s just a bluff,” Gu Chen said. “If he really still has his mother’s belongings, why didn’t he bring them out sooner?”

Wu Zhao was texting Wu Xingyun on his phone when he heard Gu Chen's words and looked up: "He might really have it. Now that he's saying it... it must be because someone gave him some pointers."

Gu Chen slowly clenched his fist. "Heh...is that so?"

"How come this person is getting more and more confused as he gets older? Does he really think that an illegitimate child can inherit the Gu family?"

Huo Tingchen couldn't understand it.

Gu Yang acted as if his brain had been eaten, holding Yue Jinsheng and his mother in his hands as if afraid they would suffer a loss.

On the contrary, Gu Chen, who was born in wedlock, was isolated and ostracized from a young age.

"Maybe their goal from the beginning wasn't to acquire the Gu family, but rather... to replace Gu Chen."

It's not just the Gu family's wealth that's being targeted, but also Gu Chen's destiny and fortune!

Wu Zhao was now curious about Yue Jinsheng's mother, and she asked, "What does Yue Jinsheng's mother look like? Do you have a photo?"

Gu Chen shook his head: "I don't have her here. She wouldn't dare to appear in front of me."

“I have it here,” Huo Tingchen said. “Back then, when they insisted on getting married, the old master asked me to investigate what kind of background this woman had.”

"But I couldn't find anything wrong with it."

Huo Tingchen looked somewhat troubled. He took out a photo from his phone and showed it to Wu Zhao.

The photo shows a man and a woman.

The woman who could bewitch the former heir of the Gu family was, in Wu Zhao's eyes, quite ordinary-looking.

She just seemed very gentle and innocent, and her expression was extremely innocent.

The man beside her was tall, handsome, and had a particularly cheerful smile.

Gu Chen looks about 70-80% like him.

It was his father, Gu Yang.

“It’s been obscured…” Wu Zhao turned the ring on his hand.

She couldn't discern the fates of these two people.

Huo Tingchen asked, "How is it?"

Shaking his head, Wu Zhao said, "Something is blocking my view, so I can only make out the general outline. They... must be in love."

It has not been altered by any external force.

Gu Chen's breathing became slightly disordered upon hearing her words.

He just hid it very well.

Huo Tingchen was far less rational. He laughed angrily, "They're in love? What does Madam Lan count for?! And what does my uncle count for?!"

“My dad said he married Madam Lan willingly back then, without the slightest hesitation or doubt. What do the Gu and Huo families amount to if he does that?”

Wu Zhao thought for a moment, "Do you have a photo of your mother?"

Perhaps we can glean something from his mother's appearance.

“I’m sorry, no.” Gu Chen lowered his eyelids. “Before my mother passed away, she instructed that all her belongings be destroyed and nothing be left behind.”

She was utterly disillusioned with the world and died without the slightest hesitation.

Not giving anyone a chance to reminisce, leaving not a trace of myself.

What a strong and fierce woman!

It was just too cruel for Gu Chen...

Even remembering his mother has become a luxury for him, perhaps because he is too young and his appearance may be blurry.

“Then it seems we have no choice but to meet them in person.” Wu Zhao thought for a moment and then said, “Don’t rush to give them those scraps.”

Huo Tingchen glanced at Gu Chen, and seeing that he didn't respond, he said, "What if he really has something belonging to Madam Lan...?"

“If he really wants it, then he will definitely come.” Wu Zhao narrowed his eyes as he thought of something.

She chuckled, "The talisman on Yue Jinsheng's back requires a lot of spiritual energy to maintain, otherwise it might affect his life."

"It must be that the jade tablet I gave Gu Chen suppressed the talisman on Yue Jinsheng's body, preventing him from obtaining the fortune of the Emperor Star, so it started to steal Yue Jinsheng's life force."

"The destiny of a Heavenly Emperor Star is not so easily taken away."

Huo Tingchen said with some satisfaction, "Serves you right!"

“Just wait. They should be here soon, even before you return to the capital.” Wu Zhao touched the gem on her ring. “But Yue Jinsheng won’t come. He’s probably in the same pain as you right now, unable to walk.”

She walked over to Gu Chen and patted his leg, which was almost numb.

"This feeling of being unable to walk, and being in so much pain that I can't sleep..."

"I will make him pay a hundredfold, a thousandfold!"

She solemnly promised Gu Chen, unaware that the muscles under her hand twitched slightly.
