As Qi Hui and He Yan were led from the gate to the Rose Courtyard, they also saw the scenery of the Gu family. It can be said that there was a scene every ten steps, with pavilions, towers, winding corridors and bridges, lush greenery, and flowers and trees, like a beautiful picture scroll.

As he walked, He Yan took a breath as if he saw something shocking, and whispered to Qi Hui: "Do you know what the pillars in the small pavilion we passed by just now are made of?"

Qi Hui looked at the middle-aged man leading the way in front of him, and seeing that he did not show any other expression on his face because of He Yan's words, he turned his head to look at He Yan and warned: "Shut up, don't say anything more."

But He Yan was already shocked and didn't pay attention to Qi Hui's words. He said with a shocked look on his face: "That's nanmu! Golden nanmu, do you know how much a piece of golden nanmu costs in the market?"

"Hundreds of millions!"

However, this treasure, which is worth billions in the eyes of others, was actually used by the Gu family to make the pillars of the pavilion. It is such a waste of resources!

As expected, a noble family is a noble family. They are different from ordinary wealthy people. Even the pillars in the pavilion in the courtyard are made of golden nanmu. Their wealth is probably just the tip of the iceberg.

Qi Hui took a deep breath, glared at He Yan, and said in a low voice: "I told you to shut up, didn't you hear me?"

After receiving Qi Hui's warning, He Yan did not speak this time, but every time he passed a building he would take a deep breath and then exhale a long breath.

On the way, Qi Hui glared at He Yan at first, but later he ignored him. He followed the leader without looking away and went to Gu Jinhe's yard.

After walking for about half an hour, they finally arrived at the Rose Courtyard where Gu Jinhe lived. This was because they walked fast. If they were slower, they might not be able to reach the door in an hour.

When they arrived at the Rose Courtyard, Qi Hui and He Yan saw the lotus flowers blooming in the pond at a glance, and they could smell a cool and subtle fragrance in the air.

He Yan had been amazed many times along the way. He thought he would never be amazed again, but now, seeing the pond full of lotus flowers, he was so shocked that his breath stopped.

You can enjoy the scenery of lotus flowers blooming all over the yard right at home. This is truly a noble family with extraordinary heritage.

When I arrived at the door, I saw a young man standing under the arch. He had the temperament of a weak scholar, but his brows were calm and his eyes were restrained. It was obvious at first glance that he was not a simple person.

The middle-aged man who brought them here bowed slightly to the young man and said, "Young housekeeper, this is the person the young lady wants to see."

Qi Hui and He Yan looked at each other. They had also heard of this young butler. In the past, Gu Jinhe had done it for him. At the Yang family's banquet, he kicked the eldest lady of the Yang family unconscious, not to mention that he had also scalped Yang Qiao.

Because of this incident, Gu Jinhe was attacked online by the Yang family. Although this information disappeared from the Internet later, everyone who saw it still remembers it.

Xu Cheng nodded slightly to Qi Hui and He Yan, "Major Qi, Lieutenant He, please follow me. The young lady is waiting for you in the reception room."

The middle-aged man who brought them here never stepped through the archway. He stopped three meters in front of the door. Seeing that the person had been handed over to Xu Cheng, he bowed and retreated.

Qi Hui noticed his action and his expression paused slightly, then he slowly restrained his expression. He pulled He Yan, who was still marveling at the lotus pond, and gave him another warning look.

This time it was much more serious than before. He Yan was stunned for a moment and then his expression became serious. He was not a fool. He did not notice the situation before, but after Qi Hui's warning, he noticed it.

He Yan once again sighed in his heart that aristocratic families are aristocratic families and their rules are different from those of others.

They had met many servants along the way. When they saw them coming, they kept their brows lowered. When they passed by, they stopped what they were doing, lowered their heads and bowed slightly. After they passed by, they did not look up, but continued with the unfinished work in their hands.

And what are they doing?

Pruning branches, watering flowers, picking up fallen leaves...

There were also a few people who were cleaning with special tools. It was obvious that the building was quite old. From their behavior, they were not servants of the Gu family, but experts who specialized in restoring cultural relics.

In short, just from what he saw and heard along the way, He Yan had already seen the tip of the iceberg of the aristocratic families.

I also understood one thing more clearly.

If it weren't for that mission, he would probably never have met a young lady from a noble family like Gu Jinhe in his entire life.

When the two were brought to the reception room by Xu Cheng and saw Gu Jinhe wearing a moon-white cheongsam, they fell silent.

Gu Jinhe's long hair was tied behind her head with only a wooden hairpin. She wore a green jade bracelet on her wrist, and no other jewelry.

Just standing in the hall, she was eye-catching. The moon-white cheongsam set off Gu Jinhe's fair skin and stunning face, which was breathtakingly beautiful.

When Gu Jinhe went up the mountain to carry out the mission with them, her long hair was braided into a pigtail that fell in front of her chest, and she was wearing a camouflage uniform, but these did not detract from Gu Jinhe's appearance in the slightest.

But at that time, everyone knew that their lives were still hanging by a thread, so even though they knew Gu Jinhe was beautiful, they didn't pay much attention to her.

But at this time, the matter had been almost resolved, and Gu Jinhe had taken off his camouflage uniform. Qi Hui and He Yan were stunned for a long time before they came back to their senses when Xu Cheng coughed lightly.

Qi Hui lowered his eyelids, pursed his lips and whispered: "Miss Gu, you should know why I came to your house."

Gu Jinhe curled his lips slightly and raised his hand to signal: "Major Qi, Lieutenant He, please sit down."

After Qi Hui and He Yan sat down, Shuhua came in with brewed tea and made tea for the three of them.

Qi Hui and He Yan held military posts and had some connection with Han Sheng's work. Shuhua bowed slightly to them before leaving.

Looking at the mist rising from the teacup and smelling the light tea fragrance in the air, Qi Hui and He Yan fell silent again.

Xu Cheng stood behind Gu Jinhe, looked at Qi Hui and He Yan who seemed a little uncomfortable, and then lowered his eyes for a moment.

Gu Jinhe picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, then looked at the two and said, "I know why you two came to see me, but I'm sorry I can't do anything about this matter."

Qi Hui frowned when he heard this: "Those things were taken away by Miss Gu's people, so they should be in Miss Gu's hands. How could she be powerless?"

Gu Jinhe said helplessly, "Who told you that the things were taken away by my people?"

He Yan couldn't help but ask, "Isn't that helicopter driven by Miss Gu's people?"

Gu Jinhe said softly: "The helicopter is not mine, and the person is not mine either."

He Yan asked nervously, "Whose is that?"
