MY BEAUTIFUL BRIDE, VOLUME 9 - Season 16 Episode 22

Gu Jingze naturally agreed.

He chuckled right away and asked them to get ready.

At night, under Charlotte’s lead, they secretly snuck into the Williams’ main residence.

This residence was very old. If it were on sale, it would fetch a high price of tens of billions.

It was an old castle. So from afar, it looked incredibly vast.

In the day, some areas were open to tourists for visits.

But most of the area at the back was where the William family lived.

Charlotte said, “When I was young, I’ve been inside once. But I don’t know if you guys can.”

Gu Jingze replied, “Don’t worry. There’s no place that we can’t get through if you tell us where.”

Charlotte expressed her doubt.

She pointed to a room inside. “It’s in here.”

It was unexpected that it was placed in an eye-catching storeroom.

They thought it would be hidden in a more secluded place, so they did not look at the storeroom.

Great, the Williams were not completely brainless after all.

“There’s a system inside that needs your fingerprint as recognition. I’m worried…”

“Fingerprint recognition, eh? Relax, we’ll crack it.”

“…”

They jumped in straight away.

Charlotte watched a few of them immediately smashed the alarm system by the window. After they had gone in, it was like nobody entered.

Charlotte did not think that they could get the fingerprint recognition to grant access.

Unexpectedly, a few of the guys knocked around and told Gu Jingze, “Sir, it’s here.”

“Okay, do it.”

A guy holding onto a tool started tinkering while another guy was at the side using a computer to analyze something.

They moved very fast, and the numbers on the computer screen were whizzing past nonstop.

Not long after.

The numbers on the screen turned from red to green. A fingerprint immediately appeared on the computer’s screen.

“It’s out.”

“Good, make it.”

Then, a guy immediately made a chip.

That guy pressed it onto his hand and placed it onto the surface to give it a try…

‘Ding dong.’ The fingerprint recognition lock opened.

The whole process did not take more than five minutes.

Charlotte watched and was left completely speechless.

“This…”

“It’s a little slow. This means that the lock your family is using is quite good,” Gu Jingze commented.

It was quite good? They unlocked it in under five minutes…

Charlotte wondered if her family had made a false lock.

Just then, the few of them had already walked in.

“Sir… The ginseng…”

Gu Jingze looked over.

The ginseng was indeed there.

He immediately kept it and asked Charlotte. “Is this a fake?”

Charlotte said, “It’s real. I recognize it. It looks the same as the one I saw.”

“Very well. Let’s go.”

However, just as they made their way out…

The police alarm outside started to go off.

Gu Jingze narrowed his eyes.

“Sir, we’ve been discovered. What do we do?”

“Let’s split. It’s alright.”

“It’s…”

When they exited the door, they found a group of people already waiting with guns.

The one who was leading them was Charlotte’s eldest brother.

Clifford.

Clifford was still in his pajamas.

He did not want to say anything when he saw Gu Jingze. Then, he noticed Charlotte.

“Charlotte, you… you’re here. Where did you run off to? We’ve been looking for you for so long, do you know that? Come over here!”

Charlotte’s body shrunk. “I don’t want to.”

“You…”

At this moment, Gu Jingze said, “Charlotte, don’t be willful.”

Just then, Clifford immediately noticed Gu Jingze, and his eyes fiercened.

“Gu Jingze, you came to my house to steal the ginseng.”

Gu Jingze smiled and said, “Get this clear. This ginseng is what I should get. I didn’t steal; I came to get it.”

“Isn’t what you’re doing right now stealing?”

“You said if I helped you to find Charlotte, you’d give this to me. Now that I’ve found her, shouldn’t you give me the ginseng?”

“…” Clifford glared at Charlotte and then said to Gu Jingze, “But this doesn’t mean that you can bring people to barge into my home in the middle of the night.”

Gu Jingze said, “But ask yourself, if I don’t come here, will you keep to your words?”

“Of course I will.”

“Ha, then you would have contacted me within the few days after knowing I’ve returned. You are aware that I’ve already found Charlotte, and so you’re not anxious anymore. You’re only waiting for me to hand her over, am I right?”

“You…”

“So, it’s better I come and get it myself.”

Clifford looked malicious.

Charlotte said immediately, “Brother, since you’ve already promised Gu Jingze, why won’t you give it to him?”

Clifford looked at his sister in shock.

“What exactly are you doing? Why are you on their side…”

“I only hope you can keep to your words.”

Clifford immediately realized. “You mean it wasn’t him who threatened you to come? It was you who brought him here?”

Charlotte looked natural. “Why? Can’t I do so?”

“You…”

Clifford was furious beyond words.

How did they coax such a willful sister? They caught him and made her return, and yet she stood on their side.

Charlotte said, “Brother, as long as you keep to your words, then I’ll consider the marriage to the Royal Family. If not, I’m determined not to be whatever princess.”

“You…”

“Now tell me. Are you letting him go?”

Clifford glared at Gu Jingze with all his might.

However, it was useless.

In the end, after some thought, he could only wave his hands.

“Fine, leave.”

Gu Jingze smiled and said to Charlotte, “Thanks.”

Charlotte took in a deep breath and sighed. “Go save a life. Life is important.”

“Alright. Thank you for treating us with such sincerity. If you have any problems in the future, you can look for me. I’ll help you.”

Charlotte nodded her head vigorously.

Clifford looked at the two of them in astonishment.

Did Charlotte gain Gu Jingze’s acknowledgment, and did Gu Jingze say he would help her?

What exactly happened in these few days? Why did their relationship seem to be on such good terms?

To get Gu Jingze’s recognition like this was not easy.

Clifford looked at Gu Jingze leaving with his men. His heart ached very much.

The ginseng…

Gu Jingze took it away just like that…

Meanwhile, in the hospital.

Lu Beichen had mostly physically recovered but not quite emotionally.

Why was there still no news of the ginseng? He was still in an anxious state.

Gu Jingyan said, “Relax, with my second brother’s help, they’ll get it.”

Lu Beichen said, “Ha, you have that much faith in Gu Jingze, eh?”

“Of course. He’s more capable than you in any case.”

“You…”

Lu Beichen glared at the two of them. One was his sister, and the other was his wife…
