Chapter 1305 Exaggerated Acting Skills
Upon hearing Gu Xing say that he was pretending, Lu Su immediately became unhappy.
Who's pretending?
It was clearly Gu Xing who came here to provoke him for no reason.
How did it become his fault?
Besides, this cup of tea of his is no ordinary tea.
Normally, he wouldn't even bother to take it out to drink!
Who knew that before this fine tea could even be tasted, it had already been largely ruined by Gu Xing.
Although, he did have a desire to show off when he brewed this cup of tea.
But he was really heartbroken that so much was spilled!
"Can't you get this straight? Who's pretending to be ignorant?!"
"Didn't you come to my office for no reason and disturb my enjoyment of tea?"
Lu Su practically forced the words out of his throat.
After saying these words, he even shifted his attention to the Heavenly Dao Alliance enforcers next to him.
The moment he saw these law enforcement officers, he felt as if he had seen a savior, and immediately rushed over, sobbing and pleading for mercy.
"My dear family! You've finally arrived! This man has utterly humiliated me! I've been bullied like this for no reason, you must stand up for me!"
To make himself believable, he sobbed and wept, completely disregarding his appearance, as if he had suffered a great injustice, tears streaming down his face.
Now, not only Gu Xing, who was standing to the side, had a strange look in his eyes.
Even the law enforcement officers standing nearby felt somewhat embarrassed.
"Ahem, Lu Su, the guild leader of the Third Guild, we are here because we need your and your members' assistance in an investigation. We hope you can cooperate."
Lu Su simply refused to listen, ignoring Lu Su's rambling.
While crying, Lu Su explained to the law enforcement officers in a clear and logical manner: "Brothers, this is all because Gu Xing deliberately framed us!"
"My association members and I are all law-abiding citizens. This is all a frame-up he deliberately set up because of a previous conflict with the Third Guild!"
Even the reasons given for their defense were perfectly reasonable.
After all, just a few hours earlier, Lu Su and Gu Xing had indeed had a debate, and before they could truly determine a winner, the topic was abruptly ended.
At this point, Lu Su suspected that Gu Xing couldn't win the argument, so he deliberately found an excuse to slander the Third Guild, which was quite reasonable, wasn't it?
Upon hearing this, the law enforcement officer subconsciously glanced at Gu Xing beside him.
Gu Xing hadn't mentioned these things before.
The other party only said that they were suddenly attacked by the Third Guild, and that a man who appeared to be their former guild leader was with them.
Seeing the enforcer hesitate, Lu Su immediately seized the opportunity, feigning ignorance and asking Gu Xing in return:
"Furthermore, Gu Xing, tell me what you mean by saying that my employees colluded with your former chairman, Lou Yishen, to attack you? Wasn't Chairman Lou killed in an accident?"
Gu Xing choked, realizing there was no substantial evidence to prove that the man was Lou Yishen.
Even if she managed to retrieve her memories, it would only prove that she saw a man who looked a lot like Lou Yishen when she was in a daze from being beaten.
As for whether the other party had said anything to verify his identity, Gu Xing couldn't really be sure whether it was just his imagination or something that actually happened.
Therefore, the only thing Gu Xing could do was to give a vague answer: "In short, it was your men who attacked me for no reason!"
"Where did he go? Did he know I was coming to settle scores with him, so he's hiding?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Su glanced at the still-swollen wounds on Gu Xing's face and raised an eyebrow meaningfully.
He murmured, "So... President Gu, you mean you don't know who attacked you, so you're assuming my employee injured you, is that right?"
"I'm sure it's him! As long as I get him to come out and confront me, the truth will come out!" Gu Xing gritted his teeth.
Fearing that Lu Su would continue to make excuses to brush him off, Gu Xing continued to ask, "You're making all sorts of excuses to prevent him from coming over to confront me. Could it be that you're feeling guilty?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Su sighed.
He spread his hands, glanced helplessly at the law enforcement officer beside him, and said:
"Brothers in law enforcement, it's not that I don't want to call my brother Kong here, it's just that he hasn't returned yet!"
Gu Xing didn't believe Lu Su's words at all and retorted with sarcasm:
"He's not back yet? What a coincidence, I came to confront him, and he's already off on a mission? Could it be that you, Chairman Lu, are covering for him?"
In his view, this was blatant perfunctory treatment and cover-up, which also proved that Sun Wukong and his companions were guilty and dared not return.
The law enforcement officer spoke directly: "Since the person involved has not returned, then we can only ask Chairman Lu to cooperate with us."
Lu Su shrugged: "Sure, but you probably don't mind me drinking tea while you conduct your investigation, right? After all, this tea is quite expensive, and it would be a waste not to finish it."
The law enforcement officers looked at each other, thinking that this was a trivial matter and there was nothing wrong with it.
After all, they're just trying to get a feel for the situation.
While Lu Su calmly answered the questions posed by the law enforcers, Sun Wukong finally found the secret compartment.
……
In the office of Gu Xing at the Snowfall Guild.
After searching for a long time, Lou Yishen finally found the hidden compartment and slowly exhaled a breath of stale air.
Even if he racked his brains, he would never have imagined that Gu Xing would actually place the hidden compartment in the ceiling.
Who could easily find such a tricky location!
Lou Yishen was on the verge of a breakdown.
Fortunately, after a careful search, Sun Wukong managed to find the thing.
"I'm really impressed, this position is quite unique!" Sun Wukong found it extremely funny.
He looked at the hidden compartment, which had become inconspicuous due to the array, and thought that he might be able to learn from it next time he hid something.
"But the mechanism of this hidden compartment is quite unique; I've never seen anything like it before..." Lou Yishen muttered.
With his sharp eyes, he immediately realized that this hidden compartment required a specific key to open.
He voiced his guess, a hint of worry on his face: "If a specific key is required, Gu Xing probably won't easily part with it..."
Doesn't that mean their trip was in vain?
Upon hearing this, Sun Wukong stuck out his index finger and shook it, looking completely disdainful.
Sun Wukong arrogantly declared, "Who said we came for nothing? It's just a key! It's just unlocking a lock, anyone can do that!"
Lou Yishen's eyes widened immediately. He hadn't realized that Sun Wukong actually knew this trick.
