Are you stupid? I am the villain behind the scenes

basement.

Hua Chaochao appeared quietly in the corner without attracting anyone's attention.

The light in the basement was so dim that it was almost negligible.

Moreover, the basement is not small, as big as a classroom. Moreover, Hua Chaochao deliberately concealed her aura, so Gu Tu and Pu Yin did not notice that there was an extra person around them.

Hua Chaochao calmly folded her arms across her chest, leaning against the wall, quietly listening to Gu Tu torturing Pu Yin.

So naturally, she knew that half of the reason why Gu Tu arrested Pu Yin was because of her.

She was not surprised at all, but rather felt it was natural.

It would be strange if the people behind Gu Tu didn't want to win over such a powerful and mysterious person who suddenly appeared.

Unfortunately, Hua Chaochao did not intend to let them find her too early, so she decided to watch the show from the side and wait for others to come and rescue Pu Yin.

Hua Chaochao is very sure that Gu Tu will not kill Pu Yin, because Pu Yin is currently the key person to find her and the only clue, and Gu Tu will not let Pu Yin die easily.

There was nothing much to watch here, so Hua Chaochao left the basement.

He came quietly and left quietly. Hua Chaochao stayed in the basement for less than five minutes.

Hua Chaochao was standing in the forest at this moment, with Gu Tu hiding behind him.

This place is not easy to find. Without guidance, you will not be able to find it in a short time.

Hua Chaochao turned to the entrance to the mountain and casually threw Gu Tu's hat, which she had just picked up from the basement, on the side of the road.

That was all she reminded me of.

……

After receiving the order, Naitu's men focused on exploring sparsely populated areas, and one of them came to the forest where Gutu was.

The whole place is green, so the black hat on the roadside looks particularly eye-catching.

The subordinate picked up the hat and thought it looked familiar, so he took out the surveillance video for comparison and confirmed that it was exactly the same hat that Gu Tu wore in the video, so it might be his.

After getting this important clue, his men did not dare to delay and immediately told Naito the news.

Naito received the news and went to the forest with Huaxi.

the other side.

Yi Mu got off the plane, asked about the situation, and quickly rushed to the forest.

Naito was met by Yimu and joined the main force.

When he saw Hua Xi, Yi Mu did not show any surprise.

But Hua Xi took the initiative to say to Yi Mu: "It's Gu Tu."

Yi Mu replied: "I guessed it."

He also guessed that the reason why Gu Tu captured Pu Yin was most likely related to the jade pendant.

At this time, Naitu's subordinate who picked up Gu Tu's hat came over and handed the hat to the two men.

Hua Xi frowned slightly, feeling that something was wrong, but couldn't tell exactly what went wrong.

Yi Mu's expression wasn't much better.

Hua Xi asked: "Did you just put the hat on the road?"

The subordinate quickly replied: "Yes, it looks like it was dropped accidentally."

A strange and increasingly strong feeling came over him. Gu Tu was not a careless person. He would never be so careless as to drop his hat on the side of the road.

Could it be that... this hat was deliberately thrown here by someone in order to remind them that Gu Tu is in this forest?

If so, who would it be?

Who has the ability to take Gu Tu's hat away from him without making any noise and then throw it here?

Maybe there is one person who can do it. Yi Mu remembered that Pu Yin once mentioned to him, the mysterious man with unfathomable strength.

So, could it be him?

If it was him, he had saved Pu Yin once before, so why didn't he save him this time, but instead threw a hat as a reminder?

Yi Mu's frown deepened.

At this time, another of Naitu's men came over and reported: "The drone captured a three-story house deep in the forest. It has been abandoned for a long time and there is no sign of anyone living there."

Naito nodded and speculated: "Gutu should be hiding in there."

"Shall we go now?" he asked Hua Xi and Yi Mu.

Yi Mu did not agree, "I will go by myself."

Then he asked, “Do you have a map?”

This mountain is not small. Without an accurate direction, walking around will only waste time.

The subordinate replied: "Yes! I will draw it for you right away!"

Hua Xi said: "I'll go too."

She couldn't let Yi Mu take risks alone.

Yi Mu glanced at Hua Xi and said nothing.

Naito also wanted to meet the legendary Gu Tu, so he volunteered, "I want to go too."

However, they both refused in unison: "No."

When facing the ancient butcher, they could only save one person at most, and they didn't have the energy to protect another person.

Perhaps Naito thought of this and quickly compromised: "Okay, I won't go. If I go, I'll just hold you back."

Yi Mu got the map and got in the car with Hua Xi, driving to the place marked on the map.

ten minutes later.

Hua Chaochao stood on the top floor, overlooking everything below.

She saw two people getting out of the car.

Faster than expected.

It seems her reminder was effective.

Hua Xi and Yi Mu entered the house. Just as Nai Tu's men had said, there was indeed no sign of anyone living here, and the house was full of dust.

The two of them looked around carefully but did not see Gu Tu.

Hua Xi frowned and thought for a moment before saying, "Maybe there is a basement."

Although she had never studied architectural design, she found it was not difficult to build a basement underneath by observing the structure of the house.

Yi Mu did not express his opinion, but just stood there quietly, staring at the wall in front of him, as if thinking about something.

Seeing this, Hua Xi also turned her gaze towards the wall.

She vaguely saw some marks that looked like hand prints.

So she quickly stepped forward, stretched out her hand to cover it, felt it, and said with certainty: "There's nothing behind it, it should be the entrance."

After saying that, Hua Xi pushed open the hidden door with force.

However, the moment the door opened, a fierce palm wind suddenly attacked her.

Fortunately, Hua Xi reacted quickly and dodged the attack.

The person who attacked Hua Xi was Gu Tu.

In fact, he had heard footsteps coming from above in the basement as early as now, so he hid behind the door in advance, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack.

After missing the first attack, Gu Tu was about to attack again, but he was stunned when he saw Hua Xi's eyes.

Hua Xi didn't have time to think about why Gu Tu showed a surprised expression to her. It was the best opportunity to take him down while he was distracted.

Gu Tu came to his senses and quickly dodged.

Before he could ask Hua Xi, another attack came towards him. He turned around and shouted angrily: "You are——"

This time, Gu Tu was completely stunned. He stared at the person in front of him with wide eyes and disbelief. He couldn't help but say a name: "Lan Yi..."

"No, you are Lanyi's child. Lanyi actually had a child with that man..."

Gu Tu seemed unable to accept this fact. His brain seemed to be about to explode. He screamed and squatted down, holding his head with both hands, muttering: "I didn't mean to... Lan Yi... I didn't mean to kill you..."

When Yi Mu heard Gu Tu read out his mother's name, he felt extremely disgusted.
