Reborn as the Savior of a Short-lived Father and Son

Furong brought Gu Qinghe into the side room, and as soon as she entered the room, she reached out to untie Gu Qinghe's clothes. Gu Qinghe did not refuse, but just said "I'm sorry" softly, raised her hand and waved, and Furong fell down limply.

After helping Furong lie down on the bed beside him, Gu Qinghe let out a breath, stood at the door and listened to the noise outside for a while, then waited for a long time, loosened his belt, and walked out with a satisfied look.

She walked around the second floor in a swaggering manner, and no one came to stop her.

Gu Qinghe was not familiar with Huo Shibei's voice, so he just pricked up his ears to listen for Shao Wei's voice in the rooms. After all, this man had just gone to find Huo Shibei.

After walking around, she found nothing except the sticky sounds between men and women in the rooms. On the contrary, her appearance of listening with her ears perked up was too eye-catching, and passers-by looked at her with suspicion, as if she were a pervert.

Gu Qinghe raised his hand and touched his nose. Furong just said that Huo Shibei was in the room on the second floor. Could it be that there was another room on the second floor?

She was frowning when she heard the sound of wind past her ears, her arm suddenly tightened, and she was dragged into the room in the corner of the second floor.

Gu Qinghe was startled and thought it was a pervert, but before she could curse, the person who pulled her spoke first, "What are you doing here?"

It’s Shao Wei.

He looked at Gu Qinghe's flawless face, without much surprise in his eyes, only a slight frown on his brows.

Gu Qinghe thought he was lying to her, and after a moment's hesitation, she chose to play dumb, "Ah, General Shao knows me?"

Shao Wei was speechless for a moment, "Next time when you disguise yourself, remember to cover up the smell of herbs on your body."

Herbal flavor?

Gu Qinghe lowered her head and sniffed. There was indeed a faint smell of medicine, but this smell was not unique to her. Doctors who worked in medical clinics and pharmacies, and patients who were chronically ill and took medicine would definitely have the smell of herbs on them.

She was very confused, but Shao Wei did not intend to explain it to her. He looked away from her eyes that were slightly bright with doubt and continued to ask her, "You haven't answered me yet, what are you doing here?"

Gu Qinghe was very frank, "Look for Huo Shibei."

The two looked at each other in silence for a moment. Gu Qinghe chuckled at Shao Wei's rare frustrated expression, "I thought that since General Shao recognized me, he should have guessed my identity a long time ago."

He had guessed it, but Shao Wei didn't expect that she would be so bold as to tell him her identity directly.

After all, seeing through things without exposing them is a virtue.

He thought Gu Qinghe was unaware of the danger, but considering the talent she had shown since arriving in the capital, and the way she was dressed today to look for Huo Shibei, it was obvious that she was a woman who was a bit reckless, but also had some brains and courage.

But this does not mean that Shao Wei will think that her current behavior is right.

Shao Wei was merciless, "I won't expose your identity, but I advise you to give up what you want to do as soon as possible."

In his eyes, unnecessary sacrifices meant nothing.

"General Shao is not the only one who has said this." Gu Qinghe's eyes were clear, just like the day when they first met Wen Xinhu. She lifted her veil and her smiling eyes fell on his face. The familiarity in her eyes seemed as if they had known each other before.

Shao Wei was a little dazed.

Whenever facing Shao Wei, Gu Qinghe would always unconsciously reveal her trust in him, even though she knew that in Shao Wei's eyes, she was just a stranger who had done Luo Feng a favor.

But in her eyes, no matter in the past life or this life, Shao Wei is the person in this world who is worthy of her trust, just like Uncle Fu.

She was not worried at all that Shao Wei would use this knowledge to blackmail her into doing something, or even take advantage of her misfortune by telling her identity to those who had ulterior motives.

Just like in her previous life, she regarded Shao Wei as her only lifeline in the Prince of Wei's Mansion.

But her trust was totally incomprehensible to Shao Wei.

He took a step back and leaned against the door, keeping some distance between himself and Gu Qinghe. His eyes fell on her lightly, without any emotion visible.

"You want to see Huo Shibei, aren't you afraid that he will kill you?"

The reason why the entire Chen family was executed was because Chen Qingshan defected to the enemy and committed treason in the army, which led to General Huoqiu and his soldiers being ambushed by the enemy and the entire army being wiped out at Bazipo.

Chen Qingshan was nowhere to be found, which further confirmed his guilt of betraying Ruichao.

Huo Shibei is the son of Huo Qiu.

During his lifetime, Huo Qiu favored Chen Qingshan and praised him endlessly, promoting him from an unknown soldier. However, this man ended up causing Huo Qiu to lose his life. Who can guarantee that Huo Qiu would not vent his anger on her if he knew her identity?

"No, if he wanted to kill me, I wouldn't be standing here right now."

Gu Qinghe's eyes were blazing. "My brother has been under General Huo's command since he was a nobody. Every letter he wrote to me was filled with gratitude to General Huo. Although our Chen family is not a noble family, the children we raised would never betray their loyalty and surrender to the enemy and betray their country!"

"General Huo fought for Rui Dynasty for many years. He was loved by the people and respected by the soldiers. His death should never be covered up like this. Huo Shibei is looking for the truth, and so am I. Of course I have to come to see him."

Considering that she had shown so many talents in the capital during this period, Huo Shibei did not take her life. There were only two possibilities. One was that Huo Shibei was just a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink and have fun, just as he showed himself to be, and he did not recognize her identity.

Secondly, this person knew in his heart that the failure of the battle and the death of General Huo were far from as simple as they seemed, and he was unwilling to vent his anger on Gu Qinghe.

Considering what this man did during the period before Gu Qinghe's death in his previous life, it is obvious that he is the latter.

Working with smart people often makes things more efficient, so of course Gu Qinghe had to come to him.

After all, they both have the same goal.

There was a hint of admiration in Shao Wei's eyes.

"follow me."

He walked to the inner room and turned the screen. Suddenly, a dark path wide enough for two people appeared behind the bed.

Shao Wei walked in, and as soon as he took a step, the door of the alley showed signs of closing.

Gu Qinghe hurriedly followed. It was pitch black in there and her eyesight was not as good as that of a martial artist. She couldn't tell the direction. Worried that Shao Wei would walk too fast and leave her behind, Gu Qinghe quickly reached out and grabbed the corner of his sleeve.

She couldn't see Shao Wei's expression clearly, but when Shao Wei turned sideways and lowered his head, he could see her somewhat nervous eyes.

Shao Wei slowed down his pace unconsciously.

As soon as she came out of the path, Gu Qinghe smelled an extremely strong scent of powder.

"Wow, whose young master is this?"

Following the sound, I saw a handsome young man in luxurious clothes lying on the chaise longue next to the screen.

It is true that he is handsome. He has a pair of extremely beautiful peach blossom eyes that can show deep affection to even a dog, and a pair of thick eyebrows, which make his originally feminine face look more tough.

And the laziness in him is even more attractive.

This is Huo Shibei.
