Crazy! Are You Really A Beast Tamer?

Chapter 487: Chapter 256: I Believe You Won’t Lie to Me! _3
“Miss Gao, the young master is upstairs. You may go up yourself!”

“I still have to keep watch at the door.”

Under Yin Nanzhen’s gaze, Gao Wenyuan gently sweeps a loose strand of hair from her forehead.

Gracefully she ascends the spiral staircase.

Upon reaching the second floor, she finds only Fang Mu, engrossed in reading a stack of thick documents.

The cup of tea beside him is still full, but it’s already stopped steaming.

This indicates that the tea has been sitting by Fang Mu for a considerable time.

If her plan were to lure Fang Mu, Gao Wenyuan would, at this moment, elegantly walk over to him, pour the cold tea from his cup into the tea rinsing vessel.

Then she would refill his cup with hot tea!

But now, Gao Wenyuan has changed her mind.

If she seeks Fang Mu’s protection through pledging loyalty, such ambiguous behavior can seem inappropriate!

Gao Wenyuan could sense that Fang Mu is a straight-forward person.

Therefore, she takes a deep breath and directly kneels down onto the floor, her forehead heavily knocking against the ground.

“Mr. Jianmu, please save me!”

Fang Mu, engrossed in the valuable items being traded during the exchange meeting, did not notice Gao Wenyuan.

However, this does not mean that once he knew about it afterwards, he could not guess Gao Wenyuan’s logical actions.

Moreover, She Wan had specifically reminded Fang Mu.

The cold tea by Fang Mu’s hand had been specifically prepared for Gao Wenyuan.

Surprisingly, Gao Wenyuan did not behave as per the planned script, but directly knelt down before him, begging him for help.

Since it’s come to this, the communication between Fang Mu and Gao Wenyuan would get simpler!

Fang Mu directly throws the fishing and hunting documents in his hand in front of Gao Wenyuan, saying solemnly,

“Never thought that you, a noble lady of the prominent Gao Family, would need to beg for help from an outsider like me!”

“It seems that you aren’t quite comfortable in your position as a noble girl in the Gao Family!”

“Now, I offer you a chance. But you must answer a few questions of mine.”

“I trust that you will not lie to me!”

Fang Mu’s words were indeed a response to Gao Wenyuan’s plea for help.

Hearing that Fang Mu was willing to give her a chance, Gao Wenyuan’s spirits soar.

She knows that no matter what, her life is now safe.

As for the questions Fang Mu wishes to ask, Gao Wenyuan feels that there are no questions she can’t answer.

Provided she knows the answer.

If she doesn’t know the answer, she wouldn’t dare to guess in front of Jianmu.

Fang Mu’s statement “I trust you won’t lie to me” was said lightly, but it sounds like a warning to Gao Wenyuan.

Gao Wenyuan took the fishing and hunting documents that Fang Mu had tossed over and said,

“Mr. Jianmu, as long as I know the answer, I will tell you everything! There will be no concealment whatsoever!”

“I also know many secrets of the Gao Family. If you’re willing to listen, you can ask me anytime!”

First, Gao Wenyuan expressed her allegiance to Fang Mu, then promptly brought up her own value.

Fang Mu involuntarily admired Gao Wenyuan’s intelligence.

“Your collision with Master Lu Zhong at the trading meet was not an accident, was it?!”

Fang Mu’s first question makes Gao Wenyuan tremble. This question directly exposes her and the Gao Family’s plotting.

Gao Wenyuan instinctively tries to cover it up, but quickly adjusts her stance.

Now, she is a surrenderer, willing to answer Fang Mu’s questions.

If she were to evade even the first question, it would be akin to rejecting the opportunity she’s been given.

Fang Mu must have noticed something, or he wouldn’t have asked the question.

“Mr. Jianmu, the reason I was selected as the noble girl of the Gao Family is because Gao Hongying, the leader of the Gao Family, wanted me to seduce you.”

“If Master Lu Zhong hadn’t suddenly appeared, I would have been the one to bump into you!”

“It was a chance encounter that I had planned out.”

Hearing these words, Fang Mu can’t help but twitch his mouth.

In the mind of Gao Hongying, what kind of image does he, Fang Mu, have?

He’s merely a high school student, but such schemes have already been used against him.

Gao Wenyuan indeed looks quite pleasant. In Fang Mu’s previous life, she could have become a top star just by her looks alone.

However, in Fang Mu’s eyes, Gao Wenyuan’s attractiveness holds less appeal than the joy of successfully enhancing a new guardian beast.

This first question allows Fang Mu to ascertain that Gao Wenyuan is honest enough.

“You must be wondering why I would throw the hunting records of the major powers in Lu City from the past twenty days in front of you, right?!”

“I’m curious about what exactly the Gao Family and the Zhao Family are fishing for!”

Upon hearing this, Gao Wenyuan is taken aback. How did Jianmu find out about this situation?!

Just when Gao Hongying summoned her earlier, Zhao Junwei, the leader of the Zhao Family, was also in the room.

The two were definitely discussing the ownership of the Guardian Beast.

Fang Mu had only arrived in Lu City recently. However, Gao Hongying’s plan to use her beauty to bait Fang Mu into a trap had been set in motion.

It wasn’t conceived after Fang Mu arrived in Lu City.

Fang Mu’s arrival in Lu City had simply presented a suitable opportunity!

Ever since Gao Hongying found out about Fang Mu and decided to groom her, Gao Wenyuan had started to gain access to the Gao Family’s high-level resources, superior to other young women in the family.

At the time, the hunting activities of the Gao and Zhao families hadn’t shown any anomalies.

This was a situation where Gao Wenyuan had viewed the events from start to finish.

Although she wasn’t aware of the detailed specifics, she could certainly outline the general situation.

“Mr. Jianmu, you must know that there is a Sea Lord in the waters near Lu City.”

“This Sea Lord has several trusted subordinates who help him manage the waters.”

“One of these subordinates has been in cooperation with the Gao Family for decades, I’m not quite clear on the specifics of the cooperation.”

“But after Gao Hongying met with this Sea Beast this month, he started personally managing the Gao Family’s fishing operations.”

“He consistently had the Gao Family’s ships fish at a location 350 nautical miles east from the coast.”

“This location is well beyond the range of inshore. It’s extremely dangerous!”

“From what I know, that location is crisscrossed with trenches, and the seabed is covered in a lot of corals with little to no big fish.”

“Small fish hide within the corals during the fishing process, resulting in almost no catch.”

“The fish reported in the documents were the Gao Family and Zhao Family’s move to distract public attention, filled in afterward!”

“For nearly twenty days, the Gao Family’s ships didn’t have any gains, causing dissatisfaction among some of the Elders.”

“Ultimately it seemed like they found something, then the Gao Family and Zhao Family’s shipping vessels resumed their normal fishing activities!”

“But just as they resumed fishing for about a day, the Sea Clan’s invasion of Lu City began!”

Gao Wenyuan didn’t realize anything while she was talking, but after she finished, she was taken aback.

It seemed like she had suddenly understood something.

Could it be possible that the Sea Clan’s invasion of Lu City had something to do with what the Gao Family and Zhao Family fished up?!
