Gu Jingze let Gu Jingyan accompany Lu Beichen at the hospital . He and Lin Che prepared to attend the banquet the Williams threw .
Lin Che tidied up and took a car with Gu Jingze to the Williams' house entrance .
The Williams' house was of a unique old-fashioned European architecture .
It looked like any other castle from afar, but when closer, though rusty and old, every line was entailed with the beauty of a European style . It looked extravagant and detailed .
Lin Che stopped at the door and looked before following Gu Jingze in .
Many people came, and after they saw Gu Jingze and Lin Che together, they distanced themselves away .
"I heard those Arabic men have gone missing . "
"Indeed, they're missing . Because someone made a move . "
"They were rid of so quickly? This person's power is really…"
Everyone speculated and could not help but to stay further from them .
Lin Che noticed how those people seemed to avoid them, and she could not help but feel weird about it .
However, some people stayed away, and some came over, especially to say hi .
"Mr . Gu, I've heard…" A man with a big belly walked over happily . "I've been uncomfortable with those Arabic men from the start . They only know how to use violence and guns . Moreover, they would dare to do anything, even if it's foul . "
Gu Jingze smiled lightly . Most of the time, he would not talk .
Until someone from the William family finally came .
The little master that they saw the other day caught Lin Che's eyes .
She noticed that behind him were all of the other members of the William family . They were more memorable than he was .
He was extremely showy, but his family members looked like very influential people .
Lin Che nudged Gu Jingze's hand to signal him to go and take a look .
Gu Jingze also noticed them . He smiled at Lin Che and nodded his head .
Be calm .
Lin Che received his message and became unsettled .
As expected, because they had gotten rid of those Arabic men, they had sparked off many topics in conversations . As such, someone from the William family immediately came over to greet him .
"Hello, Mr . Gu . I've long admired you . I'm the head of the William household, Johnson . "
"Hello, Mr . William . "
Gu Jingze smiled and stood up to shake hands .
The entire William family behind was sizing Gu Jingze and Lin Che up, as though trying to determine how much threat they were under . Who were these people who seemed so powerful?
However, the eldest son of the William family, Clifford, was seen staring at Gu Jingze nervously .
After Johnson left and continued greeting others, Clifford slowly came over . He looked at Gu Jingze and said, "Hey, your gun skills aren't bad . When are you free? Can we have a friendly competition?"
Gun skills?
He was referring to the day that Gu Jingze had shot the Arabic men in the head .
He knew that day's matter like the back of his hand .
This remark was both a threat and a provocation .
His meaning was exact . He was not afraid of Gu Jingze .
Gu Jingze curled his lips faintly .
"Okay . "
"Great, come with me . "
The two of them left in front of all the people .
The entire house of people felt insecure and jealous .
Why could Gu Jingze enter? Why could Gu Jingze have a private talk so quickly?
Was it only because Gu Jingze had gotten rid of those Arabic men first?
They worried that Gu Jingze would get first-hand news because of that . And so, they felt uneasy . Looking inside, they want to know what was going on .
Meanwhile inside .
Gu Jingze followed Clifford into the training room .
A gun was immediately thrown into Gu Jingze's hands .
Clifford said, "I hate those Arabic men, too . So, I'm delighted that you got rid of them . "
Gu Jingze raised his brows, unsure if that was the case .
At this moment, a smart person would know to keep silent if there was nothing .
Clifford said, "Come, let's shoot a round . "
Gu Jingze faced down and did not even need to aim . He took a shot right away .
Right in the center, bullseye .
Clifford smiled even more and looked at Gu Jingze . "Fantastic . "
Gu Jingze said, "You have a motive for getting me here alone . Why not just say it?"
Clifford was surprised . "What are you saying?"
Gu Jingze looked at him . "If you just wanted to see how my skills are, you already saw it for yourself . The rumors are not fake . If you'd like to say anything, you can say it . It'll be better if we do not waste each other's time . "
Gu Jingze stood there and made him feel it was hard to imagine . This was obviously his territory, and yet this man made him feel extremely insecure .
Clifford said, "You want the ginseng, right?"
Gu Jingze nodded .
Clifford said, "There are too many who want the ginseng . You can't get it . "
"So that means that the ginseng is going to someone, is that it?" Gu Jingze asked .
What he meant was there were too many people who wanted the ginseng . Gu Jingze would not get it, but someone will eventually .
Which also meant that their family would give the ginseng to someone . But had this person been selected?
Clifford was afraid of this man's mind .
He had only said one sentence, and he was able to guess more than one point?
Clifford said, "I don't understand what you're saying . What I mean is, the ginseng is our family's symbol . We'll never give it up . "
"But your family has gotten into some trouble that you don't have a solution to . So, you're planning to use ginseng to settle it? Did you ask me to come thinking that I can help you get out of this issue? If that's the case, you can tell me . If I can, I'll help . Of course, my requirements are simple . I want that ginseng . If you feel that someone else is better than me, then you'd want to let me know first . So you'll know if I do have the ability to get the ginseng, right?"
Clifford's face changed .
His guess was right and it made him speechless .
Clifford contemplated for long before he broke his state of embarrassment .
"Alright . My sister is going to become a consort soon, but she's missing . "
"What?"
"She's missing, and her wedding is next week . But now we can't find her, and we can't announce it . If not, the marriage might not happen . We don't wish for the marriage to be canceled . "
Gu Jingze understood in a moment .
The William family was a traditional family . Their younger sister had been chosen as consort . However, being wilful, she left the William family and gone missing . They, of course, would like to have the consort seat . In this way, the future queen would be from their own William family . The next ruler would be considered as part of the William family .
This was better than relying on the ginseng for their reputation .
So they wanted to use the ginseng to exchange for the hope of finding the future consort .
Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes and pondered for a moment . He smiled faintly . "Leave this matter to me . "
"What? You can do it?" The other party expressed doubt .
Gu Jingze said, "The dark agents of the Gu family are better than any special agents of any country . They're more capable . If they can't find her, you can give the ginseng to someone else . What are you worried about?"
Lin Che watched the entire process from the side . She could not help but sigh .
Her husband was so capable for a reason .
