Chapter 779: Good News and Bad News
Editor: Henyee Translations

Good news, bad news.

Qin Wenzheng lowered his eyes and thought for a while before saying, “Tell me the bad news first.” This way, he would be pleasantly surprised to hear the good news.

Gu Yundong nodded. “Alright, I’ll tell you the good news first.”

‘Are you freaking kidding me?’

Qin Wenzheng couldn’t help but want to curse. Were you asking for fun?

Not wanting to speak, he snorted and slumped in his chair with a look that said, “Hurry up and say it.”

Gu Yundong said, “Dai Wenhuo followed us into the deep mountains last time. When we came out, we saw a robber. You should know about that, right?”

“I know.” Qin Wenzheng glanced at them from the corner of his eye. Indeed, the two of them knew very well in their hearts. It was just that they didn’t reveal it.

Gu Yundong nodded. “Then, the good news is that we have another clue about the robber.”

Qin Wenzheng was stunned and suddenly sat up straight. “What clue?”

“That robber was actually instructed by someone to rob the Tao family of the four jars of wine. The person who instructed him was the second young master of the Tao family, Tao Xing.”

Qin Wenzheng was stunned. “You’re saying that the second young master of the Tao family got someone to snatch the wine that his family wanted to transport?”

Gu Yundong nodded and explained the complicated relationship.

Qin Wenzheng understood that Tao Xing wanted to deal with Tao Feng, so he colluded with the robbers to do this.

The robber knew Tao Xing.

Tao Xing, the Tao family…

Qin Wenzheng stroked his chin thoughtfully.

It seemed that he should start investigating the Tao family.

As Qin Wenzheng thought about this, he stood up from his chair and looked like he was about to go out to find someone to do something.

He had just taken a step when Gu Yundong pulled him back and he sat back in his chair.

He looked up in surprise. “What are you doing?”

“What do you think?” Gu Yundong gritted her teeth. “Since I’ve said the good news, of course I have to say the bad news.”

Oh, right. I almost forgot about that.

Qin Wenzheng expressed that he did not want to hear it at all. Could he reject it?

But looking at Gu Yundong’s round eyes, he could only give up and say resignedly, “Alright, go ahead.”

“It’s still about the Tao family. We need your help.”

Gu Yundong and Shao Qingyuan looked at each other and moved aside.

This was Shao Qingyuan’s background. It was better for him to say it himself.

Meeting Qin Wenzheng’s suspicious gaze, Shao Qingyuan told him how he had been adopted by Old Master Li and how he had learned the truth. Then, he told him the results of his own investigation.

Qin Wenzheng was dumbfounded. He was considered a knowledgeable person. He had never heard of one’s biological father and grandmother degrading one like this.

Killing was quick and painless, but these two people wanted a servant to torture their descendant until his body and mind were damaged. Living was more miserable than death.

Just because of what a fortune-teller said?

Qin Wenzheng was furious when he heard this. Although Shao Qingyuan had described his experiences since he was young casually, he knew that it would not be easy.

He frowned tightly and thought for a moment before saying, “I understand. I’ll consider this matter carefully.”

Gu Yundong asked him, “Since Tao Xing is colluding with that robber, can we arrest him now before they find out Brother Shao’s identity?”

Qin Wenzheng couldn’t help but glare at her. “What lousy idea did you come up with? If we arrest Tao Xing now, we’ll alert the enemy. We can only investigate how deeply Tao Xing and the robber are related first. Is it just hiring someone with money, or… are they very close? However…”
