Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 616 - 617: Gu Anxi’s Secret Plot to Kill Min Xin
Upon hearing Min Xin’s outburst, Wang Yuan fell silent.
Min Xin momentarily calmed down, then he suddenly started speaking, "HA HA! All along, we’ve fallen into Gu Anxi’s trap. She was so ’kind’ taking in Zhou Yu, even helped her divorce me. She was right there that night at the hotel, spying like a gecko! Why didn’t she stop anything then? She must have wanted me to have a child, to use it as leverage against me!"
Wang Yuan was taken aback. "That can’t be! That... it’s unbelievable. Didn’t you just say she’s merely a regular genius who wouldn’t know anything about setting such cunning traps?"
Min Xin exploded, "We need to constantly re-evaluate our understanding of her!"
Wang Yuan murmured his understanding, then after a while asked quietly, "But no matter how skilled she is, she surely can’t defeat Hong Fu, right?"
"Of course not," Min Xin replied quietly. "Hong Fu is a top talent I’ve trained for over ten years. She excels in everything."
Wang Yuan spoke softly, "If she’s that talented, why are you still thinking of winning over Dr. Gu?"
Min Xin scoffed, "Isn’t Zhou Yu in her hands?"
That cunning brat! She managed to win Zhou Yu over so quietly. Now Zhou Yu is in her hands, probably feeling incredibly grateful too!!!
What an idiot! That foolish woman!
However, he couldn’t just ignore her, couldn’t abandon her.
It took Min Xin a moment to realize he’d nearly fallen for Gu Anxi’s scheme. He’d been on the verge of quitting the circles of power and influence just to dedicate himself to his wife and child.
That cunning brat!
On the other side, Gu Anxi had returned to Bo Xichen’s office. Uncle Bo looked at her sour face. "What happened?"
Gu Anxi walked over and wordlessly hugged him from behind. "Uncle, do you have any regrets?"
"Regret what?" Bo Xichen asked with a smile, gently turning her to face him. "Is something troubling you?"
She hummed affirmatively, then clung to his waist. "Uncle, I know Old Wang favored you. Now that he has chosen Zhou Yunchen instead, do you have any regrets?"
Bo Xichen patted her head. "Is that why you’re upset?"
She playfully nuzzled her head against him. "Not really."
He held her in his arms and said softly, "For the Bo Family, the most troublesome person is Second Uncle."
His voice lowered even more. "Your father... well, after all..."
Gu Anxi could empathize, so she remained silent, just leaning quietly against him. After a moment, she whispered, "Min Xin placed someone in Bo Qing’s residence. It probably won’t be peaceful during Old Wang’s banquet."
If her guess was correct, that person would create some trouble and then frame her for it.
Bo Xichen smiled. "Just stick with me."
Gu Anxi glanced at him. "Staying with you is very safe, indeed. But I’d rather deflate that person’s arrogance a bit."
That person had already been misusing her ’Unlimited’ identity, making several big moves out there and attributing them all to her...
And on the day before Old Wang’s banquet, a rather interesting piece was up for auction at a large auction house in France!
Upon hearing this, Bo Xichen pondered for a moment. "I have a map of that auction house. Also, I designed its security system."
Gu Anxi slapped her thigh. "You designed it? No wonder I slipped up once."
Uncle Bo lowered his gaze. "Gu Anxi."
"Alright, fine," she said, her voice small and sweet. "From now on, I won’t interfere with the jobs you take on, Uncle."
He tugged her ear. "Just that?"
She said pleadingly, "People are falsely accusing me left and right! I have to retaliate!"
If this continued, the reputation of ’Unlimited’ would be ruined.
She had principles, damn it!
Alright, since someone was out there impersonating her, then she would take action. One ’Unlimited’ here, another ’Unlimited’ there—wouldn’t that be more amusing?
Bo Xichen was quite speechless, but he didn’t oppose her. He took a watch from the drawer and slipped it onto her wrist. "In that case, your husband will wait for you at home."
Gu Anxi’s cheeks instantly turned red. "What do you mean, ’your husband’? We haven’t even gotten our marriage certificate yet."
Her mood seemed to lighten. "I heard Zhou Yunchen and Shen Congwen got their marriage certificate. HEE HEE, I really want to see the sour expression on Gu Mingzhu’s face. She still thinks Shen Congwen is a man."
Uncle Bo was rather speechless.
He pinched her cheek. "Shall we go get our marriage license too?"
Gu Anxi squealed softly, "No! Once we get the license, you won’t pamper me anymore."
"When have I ever not pampered you?" He laughed. "Ungrateful."
Gu Anxi’s face was burning. Feeling that she couldn’t keep messing around with him like this, she stretched lazily. "Alright, alright, I’m going out to scout the area. If I’m lucky, I might even run into that new favorite of the Dark."
Bo Xichen pulled her closer, his voice soft. "Be careful. Remember to activate Fengxi at critical moments."
She HMMED in acknowledgment and walked out, brimming with energy.
In a hospital room on the other side, Wang Yuan whispered, "Dr. Gu has gone to that auction house. It seems she has her eye on that treasure."
Min Xin said in a cold voice, "Inform Hong Fu to take action."
Three days later, Min Xin received a phone call, his expression somewhat grim.
Hong Fu had failed.
That French treasure had fallen into Gu Anxi’s hands.
The most crucial issue was that Hong Fu had also lost track of Gu Anxi. Now, no one knew where the item was, so it would be very difficult to find any leverage against Gu Anxi.
Hong Fu whispered, "Mr. Min, one thing I can confirm is that Gu Anxi was injured; she was shot in the arm."
Min Xin narrowed his eyes. Shot?
He turned his head and instructed Wang Yuan, "Find out for me if Bo Xichen is currently in surgery."
Wang Yuan immediately went to check.
He returned two minutes later and murmured, "Professor Bo is indeed performing emergency surgery."
Min Xin squinted. "That explains it."
He gave an order: "Notify Chen Ming to start a citywide search immediately; they must find Unlimited! Oh, and have him personally bring people to Yunxi Hospital."
He ground his fine, white teeth. "So easily obtained."
Wang Yuan said in a low voice, "It is indeed an emergency surgical operation, and the area outside the operating room is guarded. It’s highly probable that Dr. Gu is injured."
"Not probable, it’s a certainty," Min Xin whispered. "Her competitive spirit was her undoing."
Saying that, he stood up, ignoring his own pain, and headed straight for the operating room doors to stand guard, determined not to let even a bird fly out.
Wang Yuan immediately went to carry out the order. By the time Chen Ming and his men arrived, dozens of people were blocking the operating room entrance.
The moment Min Xin saw Old Lin’s men across from him, he became even more certain that Gu Anxi was inside. He looked at Chen Ming. "What are you waiting for? Aren’t you going in to search?"
Chen Ming had also heard rumors that Gu Anxi was inside.
He had always harbored doubts. Gu Anxi’s skill with dual pistols was too exceptional, and her agility too remarkable. He had an inkling of Mr. Min’s suspicions... but as they were good friends, he had always feigned ignorance. Now, however, he was in a bind.
When Chen Ming didn’t move, Min Xin said coldly, "It seems I’ll have to search personally."
Just as he was about to go inside, a commotion erupted near the elevators. "What matter is so important that it requires you, Brother Min, to handle it personally?"
As the voice faded, King Jingyao arrived, accompanied only by Wang Jingchuan.
They both looked quite anxious. To Min Xin, it was reminiscent of that day in Si Garden when King Jingyao had also rushed over to intervene. But this time, he vowed, he would not let Gu Anxi escape.
Min Xin smiled faintly. "Perhaps you’re unaware, Your Majesty, but the person inside is a wanted criminal who stole a French exhibit this afternoon. They were injured and are currently undergoing surgery."
King Jingyao frowned. "Capable of such a feat?"
Min Xin stated in a stern tone, "Absolutely certain."
Just as he finished speaking, Old Lady Wang arrived, flanked by two maids.
Old Lady Wang pointed at Min Xin’s nose and scolded, "Jingyao’s father is constipated and came for a minor procedure, and you dare to label him a master thief? He’s an old man; how could he be darting around everywhere? Besides, the Wang Family isn’t so desperate for money that we’d resort to thievery! Min Xin, for you to say such a thing, you truly show no respect for me! Fine! You claim my husband is a master thief? Then go in and see if he is! Check if he has that treasure you mentioned on him!" 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎
Min Xin was somewhat stunned. He looked at Wang Yuan. "Didn’t you say it was a surgical operation?"
Wang Yuan scratched his nose. He *had* said that, but he hadn’t specified a gunshot wound!
