Transmigrating as the Younger Sister of a Bigshot with Multiple Identities

Chapter 1036: Another Gu Yang

Editor: Henyee Translations

Although Shen Qin didn’t believe that Gu Yang was Wuyang, she quickly realized that Gu Yang might use hypnosis to interrogate her. This made her flee urgently.

After all, being a hypnotist was a crucial, though not sole, criterion for being Wuyang. If Gu Yang weren’t a hypnotist, then Gu Jin and the others wouldn’t be so convinced of her identity.

Shen Qin knew her hasty exit would raise suspicion among the sharp minds in the room, but she deemed it better than facing direct questioning.

In the private room, Gu Jin and the others quickly surmised the reason for Shen Qin’s abrupt departure.

Cao Cuo’s expression darkened. “It seems Shen Ran’s disappearance is closely tied to Shen Qin.”

Gu Jin’s eyes were icy, her voice cold as autumn frost. “Feng Jue and I haven’t found any evidence of Shen Qin contacting Shen Ran, but she clearly knows where Shen Ran is. There are only two possibilities: Either Shen Ran is dead, or Shen Qin knows where Shen Ran is being held, and it all points to her involvement.”

Feng Jue used a napkin to wipe the bottle of perfume he’d taken from Shen Qin, then pocketed it with a sneer. “At least she made a swift exit.”

Gu Yang remained composed and said, “She won’t get far.”

Just as Shen Qin realized that Gu Yang must be a hypnotist, she also knew that Gu Yang was aware of this.

Consequently, Gu Yang didn’t plan to use hypnosis to interrogate her about Shen Ran’s whereabouts from the start, as it would only alert Shen Qin. Instead, she deliberately let Shen Qin escape to make her believe that she hadn’t been hypnotized yet.

Gu Yang didn’t know Shen Qin well, but she must have some skills to be respected by the Luo family. It was uncertain whether Shen Qin would return to the Luo family to find someone to undo any potential hypnosis or if she would try to distance herself.

The night was cold, with autumn rain falling on the parasol trees.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Luo Peilan asked with concern, noticing Shen Qin’s shaken state.

Shen Qin shook her head, unwilling to elaborate.

“Is Gu Yang really your old friend?” Luo Peilan inquired.

“Is she worthy?” Shen Qin’s tone was icy.

She had encountered three old friends, yet they had all been deceived by an imposter.

Luo Peilan was taken aback. She had hoped that if Shen Qin knew Gu Yang, she could introduce her, especially given that Gu Yang’s perfume had fetched an astronomical price of 200 million. It was clearly superior to Shen Qin’s. Gaining insights from Gu Yang could be beneficial.

Luo Peilan was also aware of Fu Mingxiu’s good relationship with Gu Yang and worried that Luo Fu might use Fu Mingxiu’s connections to find Gu Yang, learn about perfume, and surpass her.

From the look of things, it seemed that Shen Qin and Gu Yang didn’t have a good relationship. It appeared that asking for guidance might not be an option. Fortunately, she had heard that Luo Fu had offended Gu Yang multiple times, so Gu Yang probably wouldn’t care about her.

“Master, let me take you home,” Luo Peilan said, waving her car key and holding an umbrella over Shen Qin as she led her to her beloved car.

The city’s neon lights shone brightly at night. As they moved through the bustling streets, Shen Qin suddenly caught sight of a familiar figure out of the corner of her eye.

She was momentarily stunned.

“Yangyang!”

She tried to chase after the figure, but the crowd was thick and noisy, and the person had already disappeared into the sea of people.

Shen Qin stood there, rooted to the spot, until the cold autumn rain began to fall on her. Only then did she come back to her senses.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Luo Peilan asked, catching up with her and holding the umbrella. She glanced around, puzzled, as she hadn’t seen Gu Yang.

Luo Peilan’s face showed a hint of excitement as she made a sudden guess. “Is it that old friend of yours, who is better at making incense than Xiao Yang and also called Gu Yang?”

Shen Qin, staring at the endless autumn rain and reflecting the city’s vibrant night, finally nodded slowly.
