CHAPTER 608: CHAPTER 358: GU WENYU’S RELICS, THE VISITING RAINBOW WINGS (DOUBLE-LENGTH CHAPTER)

She murmured, "Wait a minute... Could it be the little couple my big brother knows in Rainbow Wings?"

"Little... couple?" Gu Zhuo Case asked, confused.

"Yeah, yeah, a short little white-haired one, named ’You Ruirui’. My big brother mentioned it to me a couple of days ago, saying that girl seems to like him." Su Zimai said angrily, "My big brother, really, even when infiltrating enemy lines, still manages to rack up some weird romantic debt! I don’t know what he’s thinking."

"White hair, huh..."

Gu Zhuo Case frowned as if he suddenly recalled some unpleasant memories, back when he encountered a Rainbow Wing Member half a month ago at Li Jing Starlight Amusement Park.

His mind once again pictured a figure in a black tight suit, with snow-white medium-length hair, looking somewhere between a young girl and a girl.

Back then, Gu Zhuo Case’s superpower hadn’t awakened a second time yet, so he was beaten half to death. If Gu Wenyu, the Third Prince, and that shark hadn’t come to his rescue, he’d probably have died at the hands of that white-haired girl.

Su Zimai was just about to send a message to Gu Qiye when she suddenly shook her head, "No, I have to sneak a peek first. Dad, you’re too heavy, stay where you are!" She said, then lowered her steps and lightly jogged to the stairway.

Leaning against the handrail on the second floor, she cautiously peeked down and saw a white-haired youth in a T-shirt.

Su Zimai was immediately stunned; the sight before her eyes was entirely different from what she imagined.

"Wait... white hair, short, could it be that You Ruirui? But... why is it a boy? Could my big brother’s white-haired one actually be this little boy?" She gaped, covering her mouth with eyes wide open, "A boy... no way, does my big brother actually like this kind?"

Gu Zhuo Case could no longer hold it in and also leaned over for a look. When he saw Cezar’s back, he suddenly remembered that Su Zimai didn’t know Cezar yet.

He then couldn’t help but chuckle, "Xiaomai, this is a friend of ours; he’s not part of Rainbow Wings."

Su Zimai blinked and then raised her head, glaring at Gu Zhuo Case.

"Really not?" she asked, word by word.

"Right, it’s just that he happens to have white hair too." Gu Zhuo Case nodded, "This kid is the Third Prince of the Whale Terrarium, named ’Cezar’. He’s helped us a lot on the island."

He paused, "He was introduced to us by your second brother, and thanks to Wenyu’s connections, we were able to win this battle."

Su Zimai gazed at her dad’s expression for a long time, knowing full well that this person isn’t good at lying, yet still holding some doubt internally.

She said, "You should’ve said so earlier; my image of big brother almost turned into something unspeakable." After thinking for a moment, she asked again, "So what were they talking about?"

"Don’t know... Anyway, time is limited, let’s start packing." Gu Zhuo Case shook his head.

"True, otherwise, Rainbow Wings’ dogs might really chase over here and bite us."

With that, Su Zimai withdrew her doubtful gaze from Cezar and turned around to go into Gu Wenyu’s room.

...

...

Meanwhile, in the living room downstairs.

"Little Cezar, who is this ’Ji Minghuan’ you mentioned earlier?" Gu Qiye raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at Cezar from the sofa.

Cezar opened his mouth, about to speak, but someone beat him to it.

"Who else could it be?" The little shark poked its head out of the pocket, "Of course, it’s Sharky’s good friend."

"Aren’t you a marine creature? Do marine creatures have friends too?" Gu Qiye asked curiously, "I’ve been curious from the start, how did you even meet my brother?"

"Don’t worry about Sharky’s business." The little shark pouted, "You’re Black Cocoon’s brother, not Sharky’s brother."

"Alright, so what about your friend called ’Ji Minghuan’?"

"He’s locked up in the Salvation Society’s base, and those bad guys are using him as a lab rat..." The little shark raised its fin to wipe its eyes, sobbing, "Sharky can’t eat or sleep just thinking about my friend still suffering, Sharky used to eat five tons of sushi a day, and now only one ton."

"Okay, don’t cry, Yaguba." Cezar said softly, poking the shark’s round head.

"Sharky is not crying." The little shark retorted, pouting while pulling its head back into the pocket.

Gu Qiye lowered his head, pondering, "Why did the Salvation Society target him?"

"I heard from Yaguba that Ji Minghuan is of great use to the Salvation Society, that’s why he was captured." Cezar raised and lowered his eyes again, "We’re about to rescue him, but it’s a very dangerous task, so I thought it would be great if Mr. Lan Hu could help us."

Gu Qiye remained silent.

After a long while, he still didn’t speak, only resting the back of his head on the sofa, looking blankly up at the dim ceiling.

The faint sound of cicadas echoed in his ears, and if the curtains in the living room were opened, there would certainly be sunlight streaming in, he thought to himself, feeling a slight trance.

"Mr. Lan Hu, it’s okay if you don’t want to help." Cezar added, "I just wanted to ask you, I also hope that your family can continue to live safely."

"I’m sorry, I no longer have the energy to deal with those things." Gu Qiye said, "I really wish I could help you, but... I cannot risk my own life and my family’s for someone I don’t even know. After all, if I go to help, my dad and sister would definitely come along, and even our grandfather too."
