“Let me watch for a while more! I want to see that beautiful lady…”
“Go to sleep!” Gu Jinglian pulled a long face.
Baby Chu finally knew his place. He didn’t dare to make a sound and allowed Butler Fu to carry him to bed.
Gu Jinglian sat quietly in the study, flipping through the scrolls.
Even now, the Gu family practiced manual keeping of accounts in the form of account books and call them financial statements. They had kept this age-old tradition, whether it was for the casinos or any other special transactions, they were all recorded in this manner.
Gu Jinglian had learned how to keep accounts since he was a child. Hence, he wrote beautifully with a brush.
He sat quietly to look through the scrolls till two in the morning.
…
The night sky was dark, but the air was still and the clouds were thinning.
After Chu He disguised herself, she entered the back door of the Gu Family through the secret underground passage.
The Gu family residence had a passageway with hidden mechanisms.
This was the fastest way for insiders to enter the property.
Of course, the setup was very tight in terms of security.
People who were not part of the Gu family did not know about these hidden mechanisms.
Most people would enter through the main door, but again, the security was tight. Nowhere else was the security tighter than at the main door. No matter how well disguised one was, they could tell at a glance whether you were an outsider or a member of the main family.
Naturally, Chu He would not choose to enter by the main entrance.
However, there were many secret mechanisms and pass code protected locks.
She remembered the code to the combination lock.
However, those pass codes were used by the Gu family a few years ago. She did not know if they had changed them in the past few years.
Based on her understanding of Gu Jinglian, the pass code to the lock was likely to be changed regularly. Those pass codes that she remembered were probably already invalid.
However, even if she didn’t remember, it didn’t matter.
After all, she was from the intelligence department and had excellent investigative skills. Although the Gu family’s pass code protected lock was complicated, she could easily crack it as long as she had enough time!
Chu He went to the lock and studied it.
The pass code had indeed been changed.
She pondered for a moment. This combination lock was not too complicated and the code could be easily cracked.
However, at the second aligning plug, the pass code of the locking mechanism seemed rather difficult to crack.
In order to crack the code, Chu He spent more than half an hour. By the time she managed to unlock it, she was drenched in perspiration.
If a wrong pass code should be entered, an alert would be sent to the logistics department of the Gu family.
And if this should happen, when this door opened, she would be greeted by in excess of a hundred crack troops from the Gu family.
Chu He sneaked into the Gu family’s main house through the secret passage.
Upon exiting the secret passage, she found herself in the Gu family’s backyard.
The backyard was several courtyards away from Gu Jinglian’s courtyard.
Chu He looked up and saw a landscaped rock garden with flowing water and pavilions. These were the best cover.
Obviously, after a few years of work, many things in the back garden had been repaired. She remembered that before this, the back garden was full of crabapple flowers. But now, the crabapple flowers were no longer there.
Green bamboo, pine trees, pear blossoms, roses.
But there was no trace of crabapple flowers in the garden.
The crabapple flowers used to be her favorite flowers in the garden. Every time Spring came round, they would be as pink as peach blossoms, and the crabapple flowers would bloom proudly. They were extremely beautiful and a delight to look at.
She generally had little preference for flowers, but she did especially like crabapple flowers.
Chu He snapped back to the present and quickly orientated herself. She then walked towards Gu Jinglian’s courtyard.
