Rebirth: Mr. Fu will not cancel the engagement this time

Chapter 660 Xie Heng's murder is related to the Yang family

When I went out, the sun was shining brightly outside. The newly grown leaves on the trees were emerald green, emitting a faint halo in the sunlight.

Gu Jinhe stood at the door to relieve the pain in his knee, then slowly walked back to the Rose Courtyard.

On the way, I happened to meet Gu Jinkuan who had just returned from outside. He probably attended some business event and was dressed quite formally.

After seeing Gu Jinkuan, Gu Jinhe stopped and waited there.

"Big brother."

Gu Jinkuan glanced at Gu Jinhe's knees, expressionless, and asked gently, "Where have you been?"

Gu Jinhe told the truth: "I just came out of the ancestral hall and paid respects to my grandfather and parents."

Gu Jinkuan nodded slightly and didn't ask why they were going to the ancestral hall today.

The two found a pavilion nearby and sat down. Gu Jinkuan looked at Gu Jinhe and said, "I wanted to look for you anyway. I have asked someone to investigate what you told me last time, and found some clues last night."

Years ago, Gu Jinhe and Gu Jinkuan said that there was a force behind the scenes targeting the Gu family.

Even though Gu Jinhe could not provide any actual evidence, Gu Jinkuan still agreed to send someone to investigate whether there was any hidden culprit behind this.

Gu Jinhe frowned and looked at Gu Jinkuan: "What clues?"

Gu Jinkuan: "There is no result on Shuya's matter yet, I found some clues about Xiaoheng."

Back then, Xiaoheng was pushed into a pond and almost drowned. After being rescued by Shumo, he never found the person who pushed him into the pond.

The Xie family would not let this matter go easily and would investigate it thoroughly. However, for some unknown reason, the Xie family had not found any clues after a year of investigation.

It was as if this person had disappeared out of thin air.

But how could a living person disappear for no reason?

Two possibilities cannot be ruled out. One is that the Xie family has an accomplice who is supporting this person.

Another possibility is that the person is already dead.

He was killed to silence him.

Gu Jinhe didn't want either of these two possibilities.

If the Xie family has this person as their accomplice, it means that the Xie family has spies from outside, which is definitely not a good thing.

And if this person has been silenced, then the clue has been cut off.

And now that Gu Jinkuan said that he had found clues, it could only mean that this person is not dead yet.

Then there is only one possibility.

There is a traitor in the Xie family.

Sure enough, Gu Jinkuan said in a deep voice: "My people found out that the Xie family's housekeeper met with someone a few days ago."

"This person has a close relationship with the Yang family."

Gu Jinhe frowned when he heard this: "Brother, do you mean that this matter is related to the Yang family?"

Gu Jinkuan's face was calm: "I just found out that the Xie family's housekeeper had contact with the Yang family, but there is no direct evidence to prove that Xiaoheng's accident is related to the Yang family."

But Gu Jinhe didn't believe that this was just a coincidence.

Gu Jinhe frowned and asked, "Brother, have you investigated the account transactions of this housekeeper? Is there any large amount of money coming in?"

Gu Jinkuan: "I checked, his annual income is normal, not too much, not too little, all given by the Xie family, and he has no extra income."

"The Xie family gives him a lot every year, enough for him to support his family."

If that's the case, then why would they cooperate with the Yang family?

It is more difficult to convict someone when there is neither money involved nor evidence.

Gu Jinhe: "I believe that Big Brother knows the situation well. It is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."

If the Yang family really intervened in this matter, the situation would become complicated.

Xie Hengzhi is the only son of the Xie family in this generation. He is the only heir of the Xie family. If he dies unexpectedly, it will definitely be a huge blow to the Xie family.

Wasn't it the same in the previous life? After Xie Hengzhi's death, the Xie family almost faded out of the list of aristocratic families. If it weren't for the old lady in charge, they wouldn't even be able to keep the family business.

Later, after the old lady passed away, it was still Gu Chenxiang who was behind the scenes and retaliated severely against those who had attacked the Xie family. This reduced the number of people eyeing the fat piece of meat of the Xie family.

At that time, the Gu family was also attacked from all sides. It was really not easy to take care of the Xie family during such difficult times.

Why did the Yang family take action against the Xie family?

The Xie family and the Gu family are only related by marriage, and they rarely cooperate with each other on a daily basis.

If it weren't for the old lady, people would probably forget that the Xie family and the Gu family are related by marriage.

A thought flashed through Gu Jinhe's mind, could it be because of her?

She is from the Murong family, and behind her stand the Gu family and the Xie family.

If you want to deal with her, you must first deal with the people behind her.

The Xie family is one of the aristocratic families and is not easy to deal with. However, if Xie Hengzhi dies, it will be equivalent to the Xie family losing its heir, which will be a disaster for the Xie family.

My uncle and aunt could not bear the blow and died one after another. My cousin and his wife also became increasingly listless. They even had no energy to manage the Xie family's business, and they slowly faded out of the ranks of the aristocratic families.

Although a lean camel is bigger than a horse, because of Xie Hengzhi's death, my cousin and his wife no longer have the energy to take care of the Xie family's business.

The Gu family not only has to deal with enemies all around, but also has to look after the Xie family, which makes them feel quite restricted.

Under such circumstances, how could he have the energy to protect Gu Jinhe?

And this was indeed the case in her previous life. Gu Jinhe's backers decreased one by one, and the people around her who cared about her also died one by one.

Suddenly, Gu Jinhe's expression froze, and she thought of a possibility.

If the Yang family really wants to deal with the Gu family and does not want the Gu family to become stronger, then in a few days, the Yang family will definitely try every means to stop the marriage with the Qin family.

Gu Jinhe said to Gu Jinkuan with a serious expression: "Brother, don't let Third Brother go out these few days."

Gu Jinkuan: "Do you suspect that the Yang family will stop this?"

A hint of coldness flashed across Gu Jinhe's brows: "Whether it's true or not, won't we know in a few days?"

At this time, Gu Jinhe began to doubt whether Gu Jinhong's disability of both legs in an accident in his previous life was really an accident.

If this was not an accident, it could only mean that the Yang family had already planned this.

Maybe he knew that Qin Yi liked Gu Jinhong and was worried that the Gu and Qin families would marry one day, so he took the initiative to kill Gu Jinhong. However, Gu Jinhong did not survive, but lost his legs.

From then on, Gu Jinhong's attitude towards Qin Yi changed, and after returning to the Gu family, he refused to see Qin Yi again.

This also achieved the Yang family's goal. The Gu family and the Qin family will no longer marry.

At that time, the Gu family was about to marry the Qin family. Would the Yang family really watch the Gu family's in-laws grow in power and see Gu Jinhe have more backers?

Will not.

Judging from the extent of the Yang family's hatred for Gu Jinhe, it would not be considered revenge unless they framed all the capable people around her.

Whenever he thought of this possibility, Gu Jinhe felt uncomfortable and even had a dull pain in his heart.
