Chapter 8: Already Kicked out of the Gu Family

```

"Then check it against the records from Third Brother's side."

The interrogation records of the kidnappers were in the charge of Third Brother.

Whether Gu Zhiqi had lied or not could simply be verified against those records.

"Alright," Yun Yan replied upon hearing this, he nodded, clutching the records and took out his phone as he left.

Lu Haichuan understood Fourth Master's intentions upon hearing his words.

They would soon know if the young girl was lying or not.

However, he still harbored doubts in his heart.

A young girl defeating more than a dozen strong men was impossible, absolutely impossible.

Lu Haichuan didn't believe it, and Ling Mufeng was even more skeptical.

He had already begun to fantasize about the moment Gu Zhiqi's lies would be uncovered, regretting, crying and weeping bitterly.

"Is there anything else?" This time, it was Gu Zhiqi who asked the man known as Fourth Master.

It was clear that Fourth Master was the one in charge.

Fourth Master raised an eyebrow at Gu Zhiqi's question and looked back at her, "You're called Gu Zhiqi?"

Gu Zhiqi: Isn't that obvious?

If you didn't know my name was Gu Zhiqi, how did you find me?

Catching the implied meaning in Gu Zhiqi's eyes, Fourth Master coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment, then casually continued to ask, "From the Sea City Gu Family?"

The scandal of the true and false heiresses of the Sea City Gu Family had been a hot topic recently.

He was also a spectator to the spectacle, having heard some of it.

At this, Gu Zhiqi yawned lazily, without responding to Fourth Master.

"Gu, Fourth Master is speaking to you," Lu Haichuan, seeing this, almost desperately wanted to answer for Gu Zhiqi.

But since he didn't know, he could only prompt Gu Zhiqi to respond.

"Sorry, but I don't answer personal questions," Gu Zhiqi replied lazily, then raised a hand behind her head, looking languid, with a nonchalant and self-indulgent smile.

Fourth Master saw this and raised an eyebrow.

Her demeanor reminded him of someone he knew.

"Young Master Tang has heard of her too?" Ling Mufeng asked the moment Tang Yichen inquired, immediately seizing the opportunity.

Tang Yichen raised an eyebrow and gazed at Ling Mufeng.

He could tell that this guy was at odds with the young girl, obviously acquainted with her.

"She has already been kicked out of the Gu Family," Ling Mufeng didn't hide his dislike and hostility towards Gu Zhiqi at all, "just three days ago. At that time, she was making threats of suicide to manipulate the Gu Family."

Gu Zhiqi: "..."

Why does she seem more and more like a spinning top?

Just begging for a smack, huh?

Tang Yichen coughed slightly upon hearing this, then glanced at Gu Zhiqi without changing his expression, eating the melon right in front of the person involved... this...

Felt a tad delicate.

Seeing Gu Zhiqi's continuingly laid-back demeanor, Tang Yichen expressed doubts about the rumor.

"Some people, gentle and tender on the surface, but with a heart of a snake and scorpion underneath. Today they rip up the true heiress' clothes, tomorrow they drug her. It was only due to the true heiress being clever enough to avoid it all," Ling Mufeng saw that Tang Yichen wasn't disgusted by his words, so he let loose, starting to criticize and mock indirectly and directly.

Lu Haichuan: "..."

Did I invite a psychologist?

Can you really heal the girl's psychological scars?

Are you really not here to increase the size of the girl's psychological scars?!

"Cough, Dr. Ling, you... tone it down a bit," Lu Haichuan coughed and spoke with a tone of persuasion.

"Some people have no shame, yet fear being talked about?"

"You don't know, when the true heiress plays the piano, she plays too, playing the very same piece. In the end, isn't it her who ends up losing face in front of the public?" Ling Mufeng continued sarcastically, resolute to tell Tang Yichen about how Gu Zhiqi had framed Gu Xiyue and then had to face the consequences.

Gu Zhiqi had been chased out of the Gu Family, at her most destitute, naturally she might think of clinging to someone of high status.

With Tang Yichen's exalted identity, if Gu Zhiqi really managed to latch onto him, wouldn't that be letting her off cheap?
