Rebirth of an Idle Noblewoman

271-275

Chapter 271: How Dare She Compare Herself To You!

Jiang Shuxuan had not been seen for three days since he returned to the Ancient Martial Arts World. During this period, Gu Xiqiao began her mind-numbingly boring research on the Chu family.

She had searched every nook and cranny for information that related to their family and there wasn’t anything that seemed particularly out of place. However, for some unknown reason, something still felt off to her.

The ‘big brother’ who Xiahou Qingyun mentioned was a clear indicator that Chu Ziheng must have at some point, appeared in the desert.

However, as the heir of his family, why would he be there?

Gu Xiqiao then remembered Old Jiu and Shi Yi. Immediately, she dialed for him on her phone.

Old Jiu had just completed his training session when Gu Xiqiao’s phone call came. “Miss Gu?”

“Old Jiu, I have something to ask you. Back when we were in the desert, you guys said that you were trying to rescue someone. Who is that someone?” Gu Xiqiao held the phone up with one hand while the other was hammering away on the keyboard. As expected, the picture on the computer screen was incredibly blurry. One could only make out piles of yellow sand and nothing else.

Old Jiu stole a glance at Ying Xu, who was standing not far away from him. Ying Xu then nodded subtly at him. “Miss Gu, we did receive an order from our superior on that day to help rescue the heir of the Chu family. Their private jet had apparently gone off the radar while flying over the desert.”

Gu Xiqiao thanked Old Jiu right after she received the information she was seeking. Without delay, she called someone else right after hanging up. Her call was answered only a handful of seconds after it started ringing. “Yi Tong, has your big boss dispatched men to the desert?”

“Miss Gu, big boss has already sent three elite squads over. There aren’t any signs of trouble as of yet.” Yi Tong paused for a moment before continuing. “Though, he did not send anyone over to your hometown…”

“I’m not worried about that.” Another idea popped into Gu Xiqiao’s mind. She pulled out a piece of paper from her drawer before scribbling something down on it.

On the paper was drawn nine points. Gu Xiqiao’s eyes widened as she looked down at these points. “Yi Tong, did Brother Tang venture in the South-Western direction?”

“How do you know?” Yi Tong was shocked. Isn’t this Young Master Tang’s secret operation?”

So this was what happened huh? Gu Xiqiao took in a deep breath. “Yi Tong, listen to me. I’m going to send you an email. I want you to look at it closely. If the number of correct points is higher than five, I want you to contact me immediately.”

Yi Tong hung up and as Gu Xiqiao had told him, there was already an unopened file waiting for him in his inbox. At this point, he did not care why or how Gu Xiqiao knew about his personal email address. He opened up the file in which a roughly sketched map was found. There were nine points on it, all of which coordinates were provided. Of these points, three were already marked in red.

These points were the North-Western desert, Baixing Village of N City as well as the town in the South-West where Tang Qingqiu visited.

Yi Tong moved onto the remaining six locations. One of them was located Eastwards of China. Five was found on the border of Japan and four more was found in America. Yi Tong’s heart sank when he realized what these points were. Gu Xiqiao was making a prediction and if it comes true, then…
