At that moment, it was noon.
Firecracker sounds echoed from the distance.
Only two days remained until New Year's Eve.
The streets and alleys were bustling with activity.
The Gu Family had already learned that Qin Yize had been rescued.
They also knew they would arrive at the Imperial Capital in the afternoon.
But to their surprise, before they could celebrate, Sect Leader Dongfang unexpectedly arrived at the gate of Gu Garden.
Soon after, Xiao Wen sensed it.
Immediately, she stopped Sect Leader Dongfang at the gate.
And she instructed the members of the Gu Family not to come out, nor to call the police or seek help by phone, as she had a way to deal with him.
She couldn't defeat him, but she wouldn't lose too miserably either.
Besides, she had a crucial trump card.
At this time, Sect Leader Dongfang cast a malevolent gaze at Xiao Wen and after sizing her up for a long while, asked in a gloomy voice, "Are you a new helper hired by the Gu Family?"
