Chapter 256 I Believe You Won’t Lie to Me!
The biggest intersection between the Zhao family and the Gao family right now is the capture of this precious aquatic beast.
After solving the problem of the ownership of this aquatic beast, I got enough reward.
Zhao Junwei is prepared to completely cut off from the Gao family even if he gives up maritime trade!
Even if Ludu is rebuilt after this turmoil, the maritime trade business will definitely be greatly affected.
Ludu and the Hai Clan will definitely be at odds because of the Hai Clan's attack on the city, which will greatly increase the cost of maritime trade.
Those who work in maritime trade must know how dangerous it is to make a life at sea.
You may be viciously attacked by sea beasts at any time.
In this case, labor costs will increase at least five to ten times.
Rather than continuing to focus on maritime trade, the Zhao family might as well invest resources in the cultivation of raw materials, which is an almost risk-free function.
Just when Zhao Junwei was about to take into account the friendship for so many years and remind Gao Hongying again.
I saw Gao Hongying slamming the table with his fist twice, and Gao Hongying's personal butler immediately entered the room.
First, he glanced in the direction of Zhao Junwei, and then asked softly.
"Sir, what are your orders?"
Gao Hongying looked at the lines on his left palm and asked casually.
"What did Wen Yuan do after he came back?"
As Gao Hongying's personal butler, he has been with Gao Hongying for decades.
The old man knew Gao Hongying's personality and thoughts very well.
When Gao Wenyuan was needed before, Gao Hongying treated Gao Wenyuan like his own daughter.
But now Gao Wenyuan has failed to accomplish anything, and his value has been greatly reduced.
Once Gao Wenyuan really has no value, Gao Hongying will definitely squeeze out the last value of Gao Wenyuan as soon as possible and then dispose of him.
It is not a glorious thing for the Gao family to let a woman who is not a direct bloodline become the noble daughter of the Gao family.
It can easily become a topic of conversation for other forces during their free time after dinner.
The reason why Gao Wenyuan became the noble daughter of the Gao family was never because of Gao Wenyuan's excellence and irreplaceability.
It's because it's easier for Gao Wenyuan to achieve Gao Hongying's goal if she stays in the position of noble daughter.
Just now, Gao Hengyun came to Gao Hongying and said that he hoped to transfer Gao Wenyuan, who was from a collateral family background, to be his house-filling maid.
These words were very inappropriate to say when Gao Wenyuan had become the noble daughter of the Gao family.
However, Gao Hongying only scolded Gao Hengyun a few words and did not impose any substantive punishment on Gao Hengyun.
This is because Gao Hengyun is Gao Hongying's biological son.
The essential reason why the Gao family has not chosen a noble girl for so many years is because Gao Hongying values his bloodline.
Gao Hongying has brothers, and the daughters of several of his brothers are doing well.
But Gao Hongying was not prepared to give his brother's daughter a chance.
Otherwise, how could the position of the noble daughter of the Gao family be vacant until now? It would be Gao Wenyuan's turn! ?
The old man can be sure that once Gao Wenyuan really fails to seduce Jianmu, no other big clan will propose marriage to Gao Wenyuan.
Gao Hengyun's house-filling maid, Gao Wenyuan, is confirmed!
"Sir, Miss Wenyuan has not come out of her room since she came back."
"I guess I'm upset that I couldn't share my worries for you!"
"Master, do you need me to call Miss Wenyuan over?"
Hearing the old man's name to Gao Wenyuan, Gao Hongying snorted.
From this soft hum, Zhao Junwei felt firsthand Gao Hongying's attitude towards Gao Wenyuan.
"Go call her over!"
"Before you call her over, remember to let her dress up carefully. Just tell her that I will give her one last chance tonight."
"If she still can't do it, let her go directly to Hengyun tomorrow morning."
Hearing this, the old man understood the underlying meaning of Gao Hongying's words. Gao Hongying was giving Gao Wenyuan a last-ditch ultimatum.
The old man failed to follow Gao Hongying to this high-profile trade fair, but he understood a truth.
The reason is if Jianmu is really interested in Gao Wenyuan because of his appearance.
Then at the trade fair, Gao Hongying and Gao Wenyuan did it intentionally.
Gao Wenyuan should have stayed with Jianmu!
Why follow Gao Hongying and Gao Hengyun back again?
How could it be possible to casually succeed again when it failed the first time?
As Gao Hongying's personal butler, the old man is also the general manager of the entire Gao family.
Gao Hongying trusted his personal butler far more than his own brothers, which made the old man a figure below one person and above ten thousand people in the Gao family.
What Gao Hongying knew about Gao Wenyuan was from the old man helping him investigate.
It can be said that the old man knows Gao Wenyuan's character better than Gao Hongying.
Gao Wenyuan has always been complacent about becoming a noble lady, but he doesn't know that all the benefits come with a price.
If the value cannot be realized, it must be repaid in other ways.
Gao Wenyuan thought he could take a good rest after returning to Gao's house.
Because this turmoil will be postponed, the Ten Thousand Fishing Festival will be postponed, giving me more opportunities to prepare.
As a result, before he could warm up the chair in his room, Gao Hengyun rushed in without even saying hello.
After humiliating herself one after another, she actually went to Gao Hongying and wanted to become his maid to fill his house!
Gao Hengyun's behavior completely stimulated Gao Wenyuan.
Gao Wenyuan's head was in a mess, waiting for the results that the Gao family would give him.
Gao Wenyuan felt that even if he did not do good things, Gao Hongying would punish him.
She wouldn't let herself become Gao Hengyun's house-filling maid.
Within an hour, Gao Wenyuan was waiting for the sentence of his life.
Gao Hongying actually agreed to Gao Hengyun's request.
He even allowed himself to seduce Jianmu when Ludu was in crisis.
Even if Jianmu is really a playboy, he thinks about everything with his lower body.
He will not be succeeded by himself at this time.
Almost in an instant, Gao Wenyuan's last sense of belonging to the Gao family completely disappeared.
Gao Wenyuan thought that he had worked hard enough, but in the end he got this result.
Since the Gao family is unwilling to give him a way out, he can only find another way out!
During the time when she became the noble daughter of the Gao family, Gao Wenyuan did not do anything.
At least Gao Wenyuan learned some secrets that he had no ability or opportunity to learn before.
Once these secrets are revealed, they will have a great impact on the Gao family.
But before he could even think about revenge against the Gao family, Gao Wenyuan suddenly felt a chill on his spine.
He had mastered so many secrets that he shouldn't have, how could the Gao family let him leave alive?
So going to Jianmu later was his last chance to find a way out.
Now the only person who has the ability to give him a way out is Jianmu, the man he is about to seduce.
Since he couldn't seduce Jianmu, would Jianmu be willing to exchange the Gao family's secrets for Jianmu's protection?
Gao Wenyuan originally thought that his dressing hands would be shaking, but he didn't expect that at this time, he would be extraordinarily calm.
Because if you want to save yourself, you really have no choice but to take this path.
Therefore, Gao Wenyuan could only go down this road.
Gao Wenyuan knew that Gao Hongying was crazy, but he was very cautious when encountering problems.
Even though Gao Wenyuan had made a choice and calmed down in his heart, he still acted frightened.
Stepping out of the gate of the Gao family's old house, Gao Wenyuan looked up at the sky.
I saw a huge bird in the sky emitting the brilliance of the sun, evaporating two huge water columns rising from the sea in the distance.
Two water columns emerged from the sea and meandered for tens of thousands of miles. They were many times larger than the body of this bird!
But before the two water pillars could hit Ludu and wreak havoc, they were burned into nothingness by the sun.
This is a natural disaster, but we can see the rising sun hanging high under the bright sky.
Gao Wenyuan suddenly felt that if he could survive, the road ahead would be bright.
Lu Xiaoyin has never left the room since she started helping Fang Mu collect and organize data.
The duties of the doorman and temporary housekeeper were given to Yin Nanzhen.
It's not that Yin Nanzhen is of great use, but because Yin Nanzhen is really not good at data compilation.
Even if I try my best to perform, it always feels like I am not helping.
Yin Nanzhen was surprised that at this time, there would be forces coming to visit Fang Mu.
According to normal circumstances, shouldn't the major forces put all their thoughts and energy on the competition for rewards at this time?
Originally Yin Nanzhen didn't want to report it, but he saw that the person who came to visit was the noble daughter of the Gao family in Ludu.
Yin Nanzhen still made a special announcement.
Yin Nanzhen didn't know the situation in Ludu as well as She Wan did, so naturally he didn't know about Gao Wenyuan's situation.
He was afraid that if Fang Mu had a personal relationship with Gao Wenyuan, he would be annoyed by his neglect.
In half his life, Yin Nanzhen saw such a beautiful woman as Gao Wenyuan for the first time.
Fang Mu was thinking that it would be nice if someone from the Gao family and Zhao family took the initiative to contact him.
As a result, the pillow was delivered right after I dozed off.
Even though Gao Wenyuan has just been named the noble daughter of the Gao family, she can still be regarded as the core figure of the Gao family.
Most clues can be found from Gao Wenyuan.
Even if there is no harvest from Gao Wenyuan, Fang Mu can still use Gao Wenyuan to find an opportunity to meet and talk with Gao Hongying, the head of the Gao family.
Gao Wenyuan was waiting at the door of Fangmu Villa, very anxious.
He was afraid that when the person who had just informed him came out, he would shake his head at him and let him leave.
Fortunately, Yin Nanzhen said it directly after coming out.
"Miss Gao, our young master would like to see you, please go in directly!"
Gao Wenyuan looked at the two guards behind him. These two guards were not so much sent by Gao Hongying to protect him.
It would be better to say that he is here to monitor himself.
I came here not to seduce Fang Mu, but to exchange the Gao family's secrets for Fang Mu's blessing.
It is bound to harm the interests of the Gao family.
It is really inconvenient for these two guards to follow me.
Gao Wenyuan had no ability or excuse to get rid of the two guards on the way here.
But it was different when we arrived at Fangmu.
"You two stay outside, I'll go see Mr. Jianmu alone!"
After speaking, Gao Wenyuan did not wait for the two guards to reply, and walked directly towards the main door of the main house under the guidance of Yin Nanzhen.
The two guards thought for a moment and did not choose to follow.
Gao Wenyuan had already spoken, and it would be a bit awkward for him and others to follow him.
This will make people feel that Gao Wenyuan is not like a serious noble daughter of the Gao family, and even the guards don't listen to what she says!
The other two guards knew that Gao Wenyuan's purpose in going in was to seduce Jianmu.
Since it's seduction, who knows what methods will be used?
If the two of them go in, they will most likely get in the way.
Yin Nanzhen sent Gao Wenyuan to the stairs on the first floor of the main house and did not continue walking upstairs.
"Ms. Gao and the young master are upstairs, go up by yourself!"
"I still have to guard the door."
Under Yin Nanzhen's gaze, Gao Wenyuan gently smoothed the strand of hair that was scattered on her forehead.
She stepped onto the spiral staircase with a light and elegant posture.
When she reached the second floor, she found that only Fang Mu was there, looking down at the thick stack of documents in his hand.
The cup of tea next to him was still full, but it was no longer steaming.
This meant that the tea had been in Fang Mu's hand for a long time.
If it was to seduce Fang Mu, Gao Wenyuan would definitely walk to Fang Mu's side and pour the cold tea in the cup into the tea washing pot next to him.
Then add a cup of hot tea for Fang Mu!
But now Gao Wenyuan has changed her mind.
If she seeks Jianmu's protection in the form of loyalty, it is really inappropriate to do such an ambiguous behavior!
Gao Wenyuan can feel that Fang Mu is a simple and direct person.
So Gao Wenyuan took a deep breath and knelt on the ground with both knees, hitting her forehead heavily on the ground.
"Mr. Jianmu, please save me!"
Fang Mu was paying attention to the trading items at the trade fair and did not notice Gao Wenyuan.
But it does not mean that Fang Mu could not guess the logic of Gao Wenyuan's behavior after knowing it afterwards.
What's more, She Wan specially reminded Fang Mu.
The cup of cold tea next to Fang Mu was specially prepared for Gao Wenyuan.
As a result, Gao Wenyuan did not act according to the pre-set script, but knelt on the ground and asked for help.
In this case, the communication between Fang Mu and Gao Wenyuan is simple!
Fang Mu directly threw the fishing and hunting information in his hand in front of Gao Wenyuan and said in a deep voice.
"I never thought that you, a noble lady of the Gao family, would need to ask an outsider like me for help!"
"It seems that you are not comfortable in the position of a noble lady of the Gao family!"
"Now I will give you a chance, but you have to answer a few questions of mine."
"I believe you will not lie to me!"
Fang Mu's words were a response to Gao Wenyuan's request for help.
Hearing Fang Mu's willingness to give her a chance, Gao Wenyuan was refreshed.
She knew that her life was saved anyway.
As for the questions Fang Mu wanted to ask, Gao Wenyuan felt that there was no question she could not answer.
The premise was that she knew the answer to the question.
If she didn't know, Gao Wenyuan would not dare to speak nonsense in front of Jianmu.
Fang Mu's words "I believe you will not lie to me" were very gentle, but in Gao Wenyuan's ears, it was indeed Fang Mu's threat and warning.
Gao Wenyuan said while taking the fishing and hunting information thrown by Fang Mu.
"Mr. Jianmu, I will tell you everything I know! There will be no concealment!"
"I know many secrets of the Gao family. If you are willing to listen, you can let me tell you at any time!"
Gao Wenyuan first expressed his loyalty to Fang Mu, and then threw out his own value.
Fang Mu could not help but secretly probe Gao Wenyuan's cleverness.
"Your collision with Master Lu Zhong at the trade fair was not accidental, right?!"
Fang Mu's first question made Gao Wenyuan's body tremble. Fang Mu's words were equivalent to putting his and the Gao family's little thoughts on the surface.
Gao Wenyuan subconsciously wanted to cover up, but soon put himself in the right position.
I am now a defector, and Fang Mu is willing to give me a chance.
If I cover up even the first question, it is equivalent to letting this opportunity go.
Fang Mu must have noticed something, otherwise he would never ask like this.
"Mr. Jianmu, I was named the noble lady of the Gao family because the head of the Gao family, Gao Hongying, wanted me to seduce you."
"If Master Lu Zhong hadn't suddenly appeared, I would have bumped into you!"
"This is an encounter I planned."
Fang Mu's mouth twitched twice when he heard this.
What kind of image do I have in the mind of Gao Hongying, the head of the Gao family.
I am just a high school student and I have been used in this way.
Gao Wenyuan is indeed good-looking. In Fang Mu's previous life, she could have become a top star just by her appearance.
But in Fang Mu's eyes, Gao Wenyuan's attractiveness is not as good as the happiness of successfully strengthening a new beast.
This first question made Fang Mu sure that Gao Wenyuan was honest enough.
"You should be very curious, why did I throw you the fishing and hunting records of the major forces in Ludu in the past twenty days!?"
"I am very curious about what your Gao family and Zhao family are fishing for!"
Gao Wenyuan was stunned when he heard this. Jianmu actually knew about this!
When Gao Hongying just summoned him, Zhao Junwei, the head of the Zhao family, was also in the room.
The two of them must have discussed the ownership of the beast.
Fang Mu had only come to Ludu in the past few days, but Gao Hongying had planned to seduce Fang Mu with her beauty.
She did not appear after Fang Mu came to Ludu.
It was just that Fang Mu's arrival in Ludu gave her a suitable opportunity!
Ever since Gao Hongying knew Fang Mu and decided to cultivate him.
Gao Wenyuan had begun to have access to the high-level resources of the Gao family, surpassing the other young female generations of the Gao family.
At that time, there was no abnormality in the fishing and hunting of the Gao and Zhao families. It can be said that Gao Wenyuan watched this incident from beginning to end.
"This ocean lord has several trusted subordinates who usually help this ocean lord manage the sea area."
"One of the subordinates has been cooperating with the Gao family for decades. I don't know the details of the cooperation."
"But after Gao Hongying met the sea beast this month, he began to personally manage the fishing and hunting of the Gao family's ships."
"The Gao family's ships have been hunting at a location 350 nautical miles east of the sea."
"This location has gone beyond the scope of the near sea and is extremely dangerous!"
"As far as I know, there are gullies and ravines at that location, and there are a lot of corals on the seabed. There are no big fish."
"Small fish will hide in the corals during fishing and hunting. Basically, There was no fish to be caught."
"The fish on the books were added later by the Gao and Zhao families to attract attention!"
"For nearly twenty days, the Gao family's ships had no harvest, which caused dissatisfaction among some people in the Council of Elders."
"Finally, it seemed that they heard that something was caught, and the Gao and Zhao families' ships resumed normal fishing and hunting activities!"
"It was only after about a day of normal fishing and hunting that the sea tribe invaded Ludu!"
Gao Wenyuan didn't feel anything when he said it, but after he finished speaking, Gao Wenyuan's heart was suddenly shocked.
It seemed that he suddenly understood something.
Could it be that the sea tribe's invasion of Ludu was related to what the Gao and Zhao families caught!?
