Chapter 156 We must believe in science
Gu Yanqing spoke a lot to Gu Yichuan's tablet as if he was just chatting about family matters.
It was not until the second half of the night that Gu Yanqing left the ancestral hall and returned to his residence alone.
The new room was renovated almost exactly like his old room.
Sitting at the long table that was both familiar and unfamiliar, Gu Yanqing casually took out the "Geography of Kyoto" from his arms. Calculating the time, Yan Huan should have received the letter he wrote home, and Jiang Jiang should have received it as well.
Thinking of this, Gu Yanqing opened the book in his hand. After paying the daily fee, today's freshly baked diary immediately appeared in front of Gu Yanqing -
[The third year of Jianping, May 17th, sunny weather.]
Today, there was a spectacular performance at the entrance of Mantanghong. It was especially impressive, especially by Master Zhao Tianshi. Even without props, he performed so brilliantly that he deserves an Oscar. If we ever see each other again, I'll definitely learn some acting from him.
Oscar? Golden statue?
Gu Yanqing silently memorized these two unfamiliar words. When reading Jiang Jiang's diary, he always came across some inexplicable things.
However, Gu Yanqing was very interested in these unfamiliar words.
He continued reading the diary and soon saw his own name -
Today, that heartless Yan Chong finally found the heart to send a letter back, but it only contained a few words, devoid of any sincerity. He's truly a straight man. Not only does he lack the sweetness to talk, but he also doesn't bother to write a few extra words to show his concern. I can't imagine being in a relationship with him—wouldn't it be boring? While his looks and figure are plus points, I think I should really reconsider. After all, I didn't have a choice before, and now... I want it all.
Gu Yanqing: ...
Wait, this last sentence is quite informative.
"No choice", could it be referring to him?
If we want “all”, who else can we get?
Could it be that Dong Ping'an?
When he thought of Dong Ping'an, a trace of annoyance flashed across Gu Yanqing's handsome and flawless face. When he was in the capital, he had already sent people to secretly investigate Dong Ping'an's identity.
Dong Pingchuan hid him so well that even the people in Dong Ping's family didn't know that Dong Pingchuan had an illegitimate child hidden outside.
Gu Yanqing's people also spent a lot of effort, squatting at Zheng Lao's place, and gradually found out some information about Dong Ping'an -
Dong Ping'an has been living in Baicaotang. He has been weak since childhood and seldom goes out. Dong Pingchuan will visit him every once in a while. The relationship between father and son should be very good, but Dong Pingchuan does not seem to want anyone to know about Dong Ping'an's existence.
This may be related to his mother's identity.
Gu Yanqing once secretly went to see Mr. Zheng and asked about Dong Ping'an's condition.
At first, Mr. Zheng refused to tell anyone, but later... Gu Yanqing gave him too much.
Mr. Zheng took the silver and sold Dong Ping'an without hesitation.
"If I'm not mistaken, he's half Southern Xinjiang ancient clan bloodline. The poison in his body is an extremely rare and deadly one from Southern Xinjiang. This poison must have been passed down to him by his mother. He was poisoned at birth and won't live long. How pitiful!"
That was what Mr. Zheng did at that time. While sighing, he quickly put away the stack of banknotes that Gu Yanqing handed to him. His movements were extremely quick and skillful.
He has half southern Xinjiang bloodline, has been poisoned, and will not live long.
Logically speaking, Dong Ping'an poses no threat to Gu Yanqing, but after reading Jiang Jiang's diary today, Gu Yanqing inexplicably became deeply wary of Dong Ping'an.

On the morning of May 18th, Jiang Jiang got up before dawn to practice martial arts as usual. Xiao Tao also got up early in the morning, but she was busy in the kitchen preparing breakfast for today.
As for Jiang Chaosheng, he has been very busy with official duties recently and has to go to bed late at night every day, so he has not gotten up for morning exercises in the past two days.
"dong dong dong"
Jiang Jiang had just finished punching when he heard an anxious knock on the door.
Who could it be this early in the morning?
Jiang Jiang wiped the sweat from his forehead and quickly walked to the gate of the yard.
"Who are you looking for?"
She didn't open the door immediately, but asked through the door.
"Mr. Jiang, it's me." Zhang Fugui's anxious voice came from outside the door.
"Old Zhang?" Jiang Jiang immediately opened the gate. As soon as she opened the gate, she saw Zhang Fugui's anxious face. "Boss Jiang, something happened."
As Zhang Fugui spoke, he handed a piece of paper to Jiang Jiang.
Jiang Jiang took it and looked at it, and was also stunned. It was a warrant from the Shenbu Division. The criminal to be arrested was named Zhao Guanglei.
"This, Zhao Guanglei, isn't that the Zhao Tianshi?"
There is a portrait on the arrest warrant. You know what, the profiler from the Divine Constable Department drew it quite well, at least capturing 70% of the spirit of Master Zhao Tianshi.
"Yes, it's Master Zhao."
Zhang Fugui entered the courtyard, pulled Jiang Jiang to a corner, and whispered, "It is said that the Divine Constables went out overnight, but in the end they only caught two of Zhao Tianshi's disciples. As for Zhao Tianshi...it seems he ran away."
"Divine Catcher?"
Jiang Jiang knew that the Shenbu Division was an agency that specialized in arresting all kinds of serious criminals, especially those difficult cases that even the Ministry of Justice and the Dali Temple could not handle, or those criminals in the underworld, all of which were under the responsibility of the Shenbu Division.
That Zhao Tianshi was a charlatan, so there was nothing wrong with the Divine Constables arresting him, but arresting him at this time was obviously...
"It was the Meng family who took action."
Jiang Jiang spoke with certainty.
Meng Haowen is a fool, but Meng Haowu is not, and that old scoundrel Meng Xiang is even less so.
"I also suspect it's the work of the Meng family." Zhang Fugui looked at Jiang Jiang cautiously, then asked, "Boss Jiang, now that the Meng family has taken action, if the people from the Divine Investigation Bureau start investigating the haunting..."
Facing the Divine Constables and the Meng family, it would be a lie to say that he was not afraid. That was why Zhang Fugui ran to find Jiang Jiang in a panic early in the morning.
"What the hell? What's going on? Where's the ghost? Are you still asleep? It's broad daylight, we have to believe in science."
Jiang Jiang looked at Zhang Fugui calmly at this moment, and spoke earnestly, "Old Zhang, I'm not saying anything mean to you, but you're really too timid. You believe the rumors spread by people outside? How can there be ghosts in this world? They're all just lies. Look, the Divine Constable is so wise and powerful, and he saw right away that Master Zhao is a charlatan."
What's haunted?
Those things were all done by Master Zhao Tianshi, what does it have to do with her Jiang Jiang!
"Ah, yes, yes."
Zhang Fugui, who was standing by, suddenly realized at this moment that he was confused by the situation.
The haunting of Mantanghong is just a rumor among the people. It is that charlatan Zhao Tianshi who swears that there is a fox demon there!
What does it have to do with him!
"Boss Jiang is right. I was almost cheated by that charlatan. There are no monsters or demons in this world. We must believe in science. By the way, what is science?"
What subject is this?
Zhang Fugui felt that he had some knowledge. He knew about psychology and law.
What is this science? This is the first time he has heard of it.
