Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 13 The Little White Rabbit in the Trap

When Wu Zhao and Gu Chen entered the banquet hall, the ball had not yet started.

The spacious and bright hall was filled with soothing music and the aroma of wine, and groups of elegantly dressed people were exchanging pleasantries.

Waitresses dressed in revealing bunny girl outfits were carrying trays of champagne and weaving through the crowd.

Occasionally, there would be lewd laughter from male customers who were taking advantage of the situation.

As Gu Chen was pushed by Qing Yao, he immediately attracted a lot of attention, followed by Wu Zhao standing next to him.

She was absolutely dazzling.

Her red dress was like fire, and her skin was as white as snow.

Count Black Night naturally spotted Wu Zhao amidst the crowd, and a glint of greed flashed in his eyes.

"Mr. Gu has arrived. The ball later is the highlight of the evening." He strolled over to Gu Chen and said with a smile. "Mr. Gu, you're late. I thought I wouldn't see you tonight, after all..."

He hesitated for a moment, then laughed and changed the subject: "The best dancer of the night will receive special treatment! They will have priority in purchasing at the auction three days from now!"

"I just don't know if Mr. Gu would be willing to let such a beautiful female companion go dancing with someone else."

The Earl of the Night smiled meaningfully.

"It's alright," Gu Chen said calmly, without changing his expression. "No matter who buys what I want, it will eventually come back to me."

His tone was calm and his voice indifferent, completely ignoring the Earl of the Night's provocation.

Although he was in a wheelchair, the aura he exuded caused the standing Earl of the Night to freeze for a moment.

Wu Zhao glanced at him and suddenly asked, "Have you found the lost item?"

She asked the question cryptically, but the Earl of the Night knew exactly what she was asking.

How did that bitch know he lost his personal belongings, or that they were stolen by one of his disgusting underlings?

The person who was smiling just moments before suddenly turned pale: "I don't know where this young lady got her information, but I hope this matter will just pass and never be brought up again!"

Shrugging, Wu Zhao said, "Then you'd better not keep showing up in front of me, otherwise seeing you will remind me. After all, this kind of peculiar fetish is quite rare. Don't you think so?"

Then she looked down at Gu Chen and said, "I'm a little hungry, shall we go get something to eat?"

"Excuse me."

Gu Chen raised his hand, and Qing Yao behind him immediately pushed him to follow Wu Zhao.

The Count of Night, left standing there, narrowed his eyes. A bodyguard walked up behind him and whispered in his ear, "Count, the gentleman has arrived."

"Mr. Yue has arrived?" Earl of the Night's face lit up with joy.

Then he snorted coldly: "I want to see how Gu Chen will react when he faces his illegitimate brother."

"Also, stick to the plan, and tell that guy to be smart and not mess things up!"

……

After picking through the food at the long dining table, Wu Zhao returned to Gu Chen's side.

"What do you think of these people?" Gu Chen asked, holding a glass of champagne and looking at Wu Zhao, who was eating.

Shaking his head, Wu Zhao said, "They're all destined for great wealth and high status. It seems this island is quite adept at selecting distinguished guests. They're all the kind of people whose ancestral wealth is so abundant that they could never spend it all in several lifetimes."

“Some of these people are clean, and some are not…” Wu Zhao nodded remotely. “Don’t get too close to them. Even if these people are fine now, they will have big problems in a year or two.”

Both of them were carrying murder charges; they could run away from the first day of the month, but they couldn't escape the fifteenth.

Wu Zhao stared at the phantom above one of the people's heads and exhaled.

Gu Chen glanced at the people she had selected and nodded, "I understand."

Qingyao was secretly surprised behind the two of them. The people Wu Zhao had chosen were all from wealthy families in various places and big shots with huge networks in the capital.

Can you just stop cooperating like that?

Who would have thought that the head of his family was actually... henpecked?

As Qingyao was thinking, his communicator suddenly vibrated. He opened it and his expression immediately tensed up.

"Master, the old mansion says that person has come to the island. I'm afraid he's also after that raw stone, what do you think?"

Gu Chen pondered for a moment, then snorted coldly: "It doesn't matter. I want to see how much funding Gu Yang has prepared for him to compete for this position."

"Go and find out who he met after landing on the island."

Qingyao accepted the order and left.

The ball wasn't going to start for a while, and Wu Zhao started to lose interest after eating a little something.

Gu Chen noticed her boredom and said, "If you don't find it interesting, we can go back first."

"It is a bit boring..." Wu Zhao said casually, his eyes sweeping around the hall before suddenly stopping in a corner.

A bunny girl carrying a plate wobbled over.

Perhaps due to unfamiliarity with the task, his steps looked as if he might stumble at any moment.

Her expression seemed to be trying to laugh, but it looked extremely unnatural, and she was very inconspicuous among the many bunny girls.

"What's wrong?" Gu Chen asked when he saw her expression suddenly become serious.

Wu Zhao said in a low voice, "...I saw a naive little rabbit that had fallen into a trap."

As they were talking, the swaying figure suddenly collapsed near them, and amidst the champagne spilled on the ground, she looked in panic at Gu Chen, who was sitting in a wheelchair.

Her trembling lips and slightly restrained expression made her youthful face look exceptionally fragile and vulnerable.

"Yes, I'm so sorry, sir!" She scrambled to her feet, apologizing repeatedly. "I didn't mean to, I'm so sorry, sir!"

This minor disturbance didn't attract much attention, and Wu Zhao stared at Gu Chen with amusement.

Well, besides that aura of imperial power, that face is indeed exceptionally alluring!

Seemingly sensing Wu Zhao's teasing, a hint of helplessness appeared on Gu Chen's cold face.

The bunny girl, who had stood up, saw Gu Chen's soiled trouser leg and stammered, "Let me take you to clean the stain. There's a VIP lounge upstairs..."

As she spoke, she gritted her teeth and walked over to push Gu Chen's wheelchair.

The hand wearing the black ring gently grasped her outstretched arm.

Wu Zhao leaned close to her ear and whispered, "This is not a place for you. If you go any further... it will be uninvited territory."

He tapped her forehead and chuckled, "...Little Lele, don't do anything silly."

Lin Lele, whose name was called, trembled. She suppressed the urge to break free and said, "I... I don't know what you mean."

"How...how do you know my name...I just wanted to help this customer fix his soiled pants..."

Her voice was already trembling with sobs, as if she was trying hard to hold back some emotions.

Why did this beautiful woman, who hadn't said anything, become unable to control her feelings of grievance and fear after hearing her voice?

After letting go of her, Wu Zhao patted her back and said, "Alright, alright, good girl, it's time to go back to sleep."

"No, I..." Lin Lele hesitated.

Unexpectedly, Wu Zhao simply raised a finger and said, "Shh, silly child."

Just then, Qingyao returned and saw the mess on the ground and a bewildered Lin Lele.

He asked, "Master, what is this...?"

“She fell down, you should take her to get checked out,” Wu Zhao said. “You take her there yourself, and then take her to her place to rest.”

Qingyao was taken aback, but after seeing Gu Chenwei nod almost imperceptibly, he replied, "Yes, I'll go right away."

After the two left, Wu Zhao's expression turned cold.

Seeing this, Gu Chen asked, "Do you know her?"

Wu Zhao shook his head.

She didn't know Lin Lele, but she saw the golden light of merit surrounding Lin Lele.

The dazzling and intense light gently enveloped Lin Lele, making her look like a warm and cozy sun.

Wu Zhao had only ever seen such dazzling and bright light on one type of person.

Generals who defend the borders and fight on the battlefield!

The light emanating from Lin Lele was even brighter than that of the generals she had ever met.

Someone bestowed all their glory upon her to protect her safety.

Wu Zhao's gaze fell on the door of the banquet hall, where a faint, ethereal figure stood.

The man, exuding a sharp and menacing aura, paced anxiously at the doorway because he couldn't get in.

Only after Qingyao led Lin Lele away from the banquet hall did the illusory figure rush anxiously to Lin Lele's side.

He kept calling out, "Lele, are you alright—"

"You're going to drive your dad crazy!"

"You silly child, don't do anything foolish!"
