Chapter 1157: Chapter 993: Saw Nothing at All

But how could Gu Chengyu know martial arts? Before Gu Chengyu went to the Prefecture School, they lived under the same roof, and he could be sure that Gu Chengyu had never practiced martial arts.

Could it be that he learned it while in the Prefecture? A bit of jealousy inevitably arose in the second son’s heart. If he had gone to the Prefecture to study back then, he wouldn’t have failed to even pass the Scholar’s exam now.

But then he remembered the two black-clothed men who had just been killed, and his heart sank. Gu Chengyu seemed extremely mysterious; what exactly was he up to?

"Oh? You say you didn’t see anything? But I think you saw everything." Gu Chengyu tightened his grip on the sword, cutting a bloody line on the second son’s neck.

Feeling the pain on his neck, the second son, who had been distracted just now, started trembling with fear.

Seeing how Gu Chengyu killed without hesitation just moments ago, would he end up being killed by Gu Chengyu?

In this courtyard, apart from two or three servants coming to clean during the day, he was the only person here at night.

If Gu Chengyu decided to kill now, wouldn’t it be the perfect crime, with no one knowing? Afterward, if his body was thrown into a mass grave, who would still remember him, Gu Wanjiang?

The second son thought about how, without any close relatives around, Gu Chengyu could easily come up with a reason to cover it up, and no one would investigate further.

Even his fiancée’s family would not offend Gu Chengyu for his sake.

Understanding this, the second son’s fear grew.

"Little Uncle, for the sake of me being your nephew, let me off this time. I promise I won’t speak of this matter to anyone."

The second son looked at Gu Chengyu, whose face was expressionless, his eyes exuding coldness, and swallowed nervously.

No matter how much he used to dislike him, Gu Chengyu had never shown such coldness. It felt like Gu Chengyu was looking at a dead person.

"No, no! I really didn’t see anything, I swear. I just wanted to take a walk at night, I didn’t see anything or anyone."

Realizing that his earlier words might have angered Gu Chengyu, the second son hurriedly changed his tune.

Seeing Gu Chengyu’s actions, Ming Mo followed him into the room.

At that moment, he was carrying a black-clothed man on his shoulder. As soon as he entered the room, he threw the man face down onto the floor.

"Sir! Would you like me to take care of him?" Ming Mo had noticed earlier that the second son lived in this courtyard, which was Ming Mo’s suggestion.

Even during the day, when servants came to clean the house, they were just servants. The maids in the mansion dared not come here, fearing the second son would cause trouble and ruin innocent girls.

Upon hearing Ming Mo’s words, Gu Chengyu began to think seriously.

He actually also leaned towards getting rid of the second son. The second son had witnessed their fight, and if someone with ill intentions used him, causing trouble, it would create more problems for Gu Chengyu.

What’s more, keeping the second son was a liability, not knowing what schemes he secretly plotted against him!

Killing him would be the easiest solution.

Perhaps sensing the change in Gu Chengyu’s demeanor or due to Ming Mo’s words earlier, the second son suddenly felt terrified to the core.

This time, he was truly scared out of his wits; he hadn’t anticipated that Gu Chengyu actually intended to kill him.

"Little Uncle! I beg you, for Uncle’s sake, spare my life. I won’t dare oppose you again, I’ll do as you say. I won’t study anymore, I’ll serve you by your side, bringing tea and water. Little Uncle, spare me! Little Uncle..."

The second son burst into tears and snot.

In no time, a pungent smell pervaded the room. Gu Chengyu then noticed a damp patch on the second son’s trousers.

He could see in the dark, realizing the second son had wet himself out of fear.

However, there was no light in the room at that moment, so Ming Mo didn’t realize. He suddenly noticed a certain smell permeating the air, "What is that smell?"

Gu Chengyu rolled his eyes helplessly, he hadn’t even killed anyone yet, and the second son was already wetting his pants?

This second son really knew how to adapt; previously held a grudge, wishing him dead, and now, he wanted to serve him?

Was he being pragmatic? Or just cowardly and spineless?

"Sir? We should deal with him; keeping him is a definite hazard."

Ming Mo couldn’t wait any longer. Although there had been no serious conflicts between Sir and Gu Wanjiang, Gu Wanjiang always enjoyed making things difficult for him.

Sir had tolerated him for a long time, and now, with no one around, wasn’t it a heaven-sent opportunity?

Gu Chengyu finally made up his mind, ready to act, when he suddenly noticed something moving on the bed.

His eyebrows raised; he had sensed earlier that someone was on the bed, but they hadn’t moved, only their heavy breathing was audible.

He moved the sword away from the second son’s neck, walked forward, and flicked the bedding on the bed with his sword, discovering a girl lying there, stark naked.

The girl was trembling with fear, not expecting Gu Chengyu to suddenly uncover the bedding, and she screamed in shock.

Gu Chengyu was taken aback, not expecting the girl to be the second son’s fiancée, Gao Yingying. Her clothes had been taken off and left under the blanket, which is why Gu Chengyu had only seen the second son’s clothes scattered on the floor.

In an instant, he flicked the bedding back to cover the girl again.

Gao Yingying, in the middle of the night, in a man’s room, stark naked, didn’t take a genius to figure out what had happened.

If Gu Chengyu hadn’t been away from the Gu Mansion, how could she be on the second son’s bed?

At that moment, she was overwhelmed with shame, unable to hold back her sobbing. Then she remembered it was nighttime; although moonlight streamed into the room, it was far too weak to see anything clearly.

Earlier, exhausted, she had fallen into a deep sleep. She hadn’t heard anything initially but woke up when the second son peeked out the window at the commotion outside.

Knowing the situation was dire, she trembled with fear, too flustered to dress properly.

Later, when Gu Chengyu kicked open the door, she simply remained under the covers, unwilling to come out.

She resolved that no matter what happened, she wouldn’t crawl out from under the covers.

Knowing the second son was being threatened and realizing his would-be killer was his Little Uncle, she dared not make a sound.

"Quiet!" Gu Chengyu barked.

Ming Mo was stunned. Though he hadn’t seen clearly, he heard the scream of a woman from within the room. How could there possibly be a woman inside?

His eyesight was good, and he too recognized Gao Yingying. He quickly turned his head away, clicking his tongue repeatedly in disapproval.

These two were still an engaged couple! How could they be so impatient? Didn’t Gao Yingying’s parents bother to rein her in?
