Ch. 201..210
Chapter 201: Worried About Her Ye Qingwan came out of 187 and Gu Feng, who was waiting by the roadside, immediately opened the car door and got out.
He asked with concern from a few steps away,” Miss Wanwan, what’s wrong?”
“I have something to do. I won’t eat first.”
Ye Qingwan got into the car and told Gu Feng the address.
As the car drove on, she sent another message to Gu Shimo.
[Brother, I have something to do. I might be back late tonight.]
A minute after the message was sent, Gu Shimo called.
Ye Qingwan picked up the call and called out,” Brother.”
Gu Shimo’s voice came from the phone.” Wanwan, what’s the matter? Do you have to work overtime?”
“No.”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and looked out of the window.
“Brother Leng Xiao found Ding Chen’s wife and children…” I’ll go to the countryside with him.”
“Let Gu Feng go with you.”
Gu Shimo did not ask Zuo Zhi to go with him. Instead, he asked Gu Feng to go with him.
Gu Feng was loyal to Ye Qingwan, so she could rest assured.
Hearing his words, Ye Qingwan felt complicated.
She knew what Gu Shimo meant by this and called out softly,”Brother.””
After a pause, she said,” Gu Feng, come with me. You don’t have to worry. If anything happens, I’ll call you.””
Gu Feng’s skills were very good.
He could handle most situations.
In addition, Leng Xiao was there, so nothing should happen.
Even so, after hanging up the phone, Gu Shimo still called Fu Yushen.
The small village that Ye Qingwan mentioned was in a remote area of South City.
He was still worried.
The phone rang twice and Fu Yushen’s voice could be heard.”
“Yushen, do you know Bai Yang Village in Gao County?”
“I know. Why? Are you interested in that place? As far as I know, the roads there are not completely open yet.”
“Wanwan went over there to look for Ding Chen’s family. Although she brought Gu Feng with her, I’m still worried.”
When Gu Shimo said this, Fu Yushen, who was on the other end of the phone, understood.
She said,” I’ll call Gao County and arrange for someone to investigate. I’ll wait for her at Baiyang Village.””
“She doesn’t need to know. As long as she’s safe, it’s fine.”
Gu Shimo then told Fu Yushen the detailed house number.
“Alright, I have to go to the city for a meeting later. I’ll hang up first. I’ll tell you about the land tonight.”
Fu Yushen had just left the office when he picked up the call.
After she finished the call, she got into the car and instructed the driver to start the car.
He made a call to Gao County and got someone to check the address Gu Shimo had given him. Then, he arranged for someone to go to that village.
—-
Ye Qingwan did not know what Gu Shimo had done after the phone call with her.
They caught up with Leng Xiao at the highway intersection.
Leng Xiao drove his own car and didn’t bring anyone else.
Seeing Gu Feng send Ye Qingwan over, he casually asked,” Wanwan, have you had lunch?”
Ye Qingwan shook her head.” Not yet. How about you?””
“I ate some bread while waiting for you.”
Leng Xiao opened the car door and took out a bag of food from the back seat.
He placed it in Ye Qingwan’s car.” The food in the service area isn’t good either. Just make do with it. Eat the things in this bag to fill your hunger.””
“Alright.”
Ye Qingwan gladly accepted it and didn’t pretend to be polite.
Leng Xiao made a hand gesture and returned to the car.
As soon as the car got on the highway, Ye Qingwan received a video and a message from Yu Xin.
The video belonged to Little Bao Bao.
It was very cute to turn a blind eye and want to sleep and play.
[Wanwan, if you’re back early, come over and sit for a while. The baby is different every day and you haven’t seen him for many days.]
After reading the message, Ye Qingwan pondered for a few seconds.
She took a photo of Leng Xiao’s car.
[We just got on the highway. If we go back early, I’ll definitely go.]
This way, Yu Xin could rest assured.
Chapter 202: I Can Definitely Substitute Them Ye Qingwan’s message was sent over, and Yu Xin was no longer suspicious.
Seeing that Ye Qingwan wasn’t in the same car as Leng Xiao, she smiled happily and kissed the baby on the cheek.” Son, Daddy still loves us.””
“..”
The baby wanted to sleep.
Her kiss made his eyes open again.
Yu Xin giggled and kissed him on the other cheek.
She said proudly,” You are the cutest. Mommy is telling you, you are much cuter than your Brother Zixi. Daddy won’t only care about Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi anymore. He’ll care more and more about us. We’ll definitely be able to replace them in Daddy’s heart.”

South City’s Zhao Family.
Mu Yuan did not follow Zhao Qinlan back to the Gu Mansion. Instead, Zhao Wenjue asked him to stay.
Although he was very unwilling, he could not disobey Zhao Wenjue now.
In the study room.
Zhao Wenjue went straight to the point.” Ah Yuan, help me do one more thing, and I’ll convince Ziyang to agree to your marriage with Qinlan. From now on, you’ll no longer be my Zhao family’s bodyguard, but my Zhao Wenjue’s brother-in-law.”
“What is it?”
Mu Yuan cursed in his heart, but he asked in a neither servile nor overbearing manner.
Zhao Wenjue saw his subtle expression and sneered.” Gu Shimo wanted to kill my family’s Tong because of Ye Qingwan. I don’t want him to pay double the price. It’s just the same.””
“But we don’t have anything on Gu Shimo.”
“Who said that we have to have something on him to retaliate? I just got the news that Ye Qingwan left the city and headed in the direction of Gao County. I got someone to drive after her. Hurry over now. I want her to never come back.”
Zhao Wenjue’s men accidentally saw Ye Qingwan at the highway intersection.
He had sent someone to follow Ye Qingwan a few days ago, but after Gu Feng found out, he didn’t dare to follow her anymore.
Now that he knew that Ye Qingwan had left the city and was no longer under Gu Shimo’s protection, Zhao Wenjue felt that this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
He naturally couldn’t miss it.
Mu Yuan agreed to Zhao Wenjue’s conditions.” Alright, I’ll rush to Gao County now.””
After leaving the Zhao Family, Mu Yuan dialed Zhao Qinlan’s number.
Although he had agreed to Zhao Wenjue’s request, this was a chance to claim credit in front of Zhao Qinlan.
When her phone rang, Zhao Qinlan was watching Gu Ziyang’s first film.
She was afraid that Gu Ziyang would get angry, so she didn’t answer the call.
After reading it, she praised Gu Ziyang again and said,” Ziyang, you can take over the film company first. Gu Shimo bought it from the Bai family. It’s also suitable for you to develop.”
Gu Ziyang could not accept the fact that Gu Shimo was not his biological brother.
When he heard Zhao Qinlan mention Gu Shimo’s name, his expression froze.
She said perfunctorily,” Let’s talk about it later.”
Zhao Qinlan smiled gently and replied with an “okay”.
It was not easy for her to make Gu Ziyang soften his heart and accept her temporarily out of sympathy. Zhao Qinlan did not dare to be too anxious. She secretly made up her mind that she must slowly influence Gu Ziyang.
She wanted him to treat her like before.
However, she needed to hate Gu Shimo.
“I have something to do and have to go out. If you want to see it, you can see it yourself.”
Gu Ziyang suddenly stood up and left the sofa, walking towards the door.
Zhao Qinlan called him to come back for dinner.
Gu Ziyang said without looking back,” You don’t have to wait for me for dinner tonight.”
After Gu Ziyang left, Zhao Qinlan immediately dialed Mu Yuan’s number.
The phone rang twice, and Mu Yuan’s voice could be heard.” Qinlan, where are you? Why didn’t you pick up the phone just now?””
“I was at home. Cai Ziyang was beside me just now. I was afraid that he would be angry, so I didn’t pick up. He’s out now. You can come to my house to look for me.”
Towards the end, Zhao Qinlan’s voice was filled with ambiguity.
Chapter 203: How Do You Want to Deal With Her? “Come out now and I’ll pick you up. I’m going out of the city later…”
Mu Yuan briefly explained how Zhao Wenjue had arranged for him to deal with Ye Qingwan.
Zhao Qinlan’s eyes were filled with a cold smile.” This is indeed a good opportunity. Ye Qingwan and Ye Zixi are protected by Gu Shimo too well. It’s rare for her to leave the city and be alone.”
“Hmm, how do you want to deal with her?”
Mu Yuan asked fawningly.
Zhao Qinlan said without hesitation,”Five years ago, Bai Shanshan found five men but couldn’t kill her. Instead, she escaped. This time, find five more men for her. Don’t let her escape again. I want a video of the entire process.”
“No problem, I’ll remember it.”
Ten minutes later.
Zhao Qinlan walked out of the villa and saw Mu Yuan’s car parked at the entrance.
He got out of the car, opened the backseat door, stuffed her into the car, and then covered her.
It had only been half a day.
The two of them were entangled in hunger and thirst, and their panting quickly filled the entire carriage.
Although there were bodyguards at the entrance of the villa, Zhao Qinlan and Mu Yuan did not seem to care.
After it ended, Mu Yuan said to Zhao Qinlan,” Go in and sleep. I’m going to set off.””
“Then when will you come and look for me again?”
Zhao Qinlan asked as she got dressed.
Mu Yuan said,” I can’t do it tonight. It should be tomorrow.””
“I’ll celebrate with you after this matter is completed.”
“There’s no need to celebrate. As long as I have you, it’s enough.”
Mu Yuan coaxed Zhao Qinlan into the villa before driving off.
He thought about what Zhao Qinlan had said about finding a few men for Ye Qingwan and killing them.
A disdainful smile appeared on his face.
It would be a pity if such a young and beautiful woman was killed by some hooligans.
After Ye Qingwan was kidnapped, he would do it himself.
He wanted to see what the woman in Gu Shimo’s heart was like.
After he had tasted it, he would use her to extort money from Gu Shimo. After he got the money, he would leave.
He didn’t want to hang out with that old woman, Zhao Qinlan.
—-
Gu Corporation.
In the conference room on the top floor.
When Gu Shimo and the client walked out of the meeting room, Zuo Zhi happened to come out of the elevator.
Seeing his hurried expression, Gu Shimo narrowed his eyes.
After the client left, Zuo Zhi followed behind Gu Shimo. As soon as he entered the office, he said,” Master, Mu Yuan has left the city.”
To which direction?
Gu Shimo walked behind the desk.
” He brought people with him in the direction of Gao County.””
“Call Gu Feng. Also, send someone over immediately.”
“Master, did Gu Feng go to Gao County?”
Gu Shimo picked up Ye Qingwan’s call in the afternoon and only called Fu Yushen to ask him to make arrangements.
He hadn’t told Zuo Zhi yet.
“Leng Xiao found out that Ding Chen’s wife and children are in the countryside of Gao County. Wanwan followed them.”
“Master, Mu Yuan returned to the Zhao Family in the morning. Was this arranged by Zhao Wenjue or Zhao Qinlan?”
“Zhao Wenjue.”
Gu Shimo’s dark eyes were filled with coldness.” In a while, I’ll give a copy of the shameful things about the Zhao family to the media and a copy to the police.”
Previously, when he was collecting evidence of Zhao Zhongtong’s crimes, the Left Deacon had also investigated everything about Zhao Wenjue.
“Yes, Master. I’ll arrange it immediately.”
After saying that, the Left Executive immediately went out to make a call.
Ten minutes later.
Gu Shimo received a call from Zuo Zhi, saying that everything had been arranged. —
At this moment, in the Zhao family.
Zhao Wenjue was drinking tea in the villa, waiting for Mu Yuan to bring him good news.
However, before he could wait for the good news from Mu Yuan’s side, the bad news came first.
His personal assistant called to say that Zhao Corporation was trending.
“Chairman, I don’t know what he revealed either. Right now, you’re on the trending searches of several apps. They know everything in great detail.”
“What does he know?”
Zhao Wenjue asked in a daze.
Perhaps the other party found it too difficult to explain over the phone, so he said,” Chairman, you should go and take a look yourself.”
Chapter 204: The Sky-high Trending Price He hung up the phone.
Zhao Wenjue logged into the APP to take a look.
As expected, his name was at the top of the trending searches.
Title:
#Zhao Wenjue, the chairman of the Zhao Corporation, is doing dirty things that no one knows about…#
Bribe, kill, rob, abuse!
Zhao Wenjue skimmed through the thread ten lines at a glance. He felt the blood in his body flowing backward, and he wanted to faint several times.
He shouted angrily,” Men!”
Because it was indoors, no servant heard it.
His wife went out to play mahjong after lunch.
Zhao Wenjue dialed his assistant’s number in a panic and shouted anxiously,” Remove the trending searches immediately and make a statement that the post online is a rumor. Find out who posted it and bring it back to me.””
“Chairman, I’ve already made a call, but someone offered a sky-high price to stop the trending searches… I told you that those things are the truth.”
“F * ck the truth. Find out which bastard spread the rumor and kill him.”
Zhao Wenjue cursed angrily.
“Chairman, what if we can’t remove the trending searches now? If the client…”
“Don’t answer the client’s call first. Ask them how much the sky-high price is. No matter how much it is, double the price.”
“Chairman, we don’t have that much money. The other party has offered tens of millions for each app.”
“Tens of millions?”
When Zhao Wenjue heard this, he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
At the same time, he understood.
The person who messed with him must be Gu Shimo.
Only that bastard, Gu Shimo, would have so much money and want to kill him.
Gu Shimo could have done it sooner or later, but he had to do it at this time.
He thought of something and immediately hung up.
She dialed Mu Yuan’s number.
The phone rang a few times before it was picked up. Before Mu Yuan could speak, Zhao Wenjue asked in exasperation,” Mu Yuan, where are you? Did you see that little b * tch Ye Qingwan? Bring her back immediately.””
“We’ll be there in 20 minutes. Old Master, did something happen?”
Mu Yuan asked.
Zhao Wenjue cursed and said,” That bastard, Gu Shimo. He actually offered a sky-high price to put me on the trending searches. I want to use his woman to make him kneel before me.”
“Oh, okay.”
As Mu Yuan agreed, he exited the chat interface and logged into an app. He saw Zhao Wenjue’s crimes listed at the top of the list.
After his shock, his first reaction was that he couldn’t do it today.
After ending the call, Mu Yuan immediately ordered his men to stop the car.
Even though two of them had already arrived at Bai Yang Village.
However, the few people that Mu Yuan brought with him had yet to reach their destination.
—-
White Poplar Village.
Leng Xiao, Ye Qingwan, and Gu Feng had just arrived.
Although Leng Xiao had given Ye Qingwan a bag of food to fill her stomach before they got on the highway, he still stopped the car to let her eat when they reached the service area.
The three of them casually ate a little and wasted about 20 minutes.
Baiyang Village did not have access to every village, and after a few days of continuous rain, the roads in the village were only covered with a layer of cinders.
The car could not enter.
Leng Xiao and Gu Feng parked the car under a big tree at the village entrance.
After they got out of the car, he glanced at the road ahead and turned to Ye Qingwan.” Wanwan, the roads in this village aren’t good. Be careful later and follow my footprints. Don’t step on the mud.””
Ye Qingwan nodded.” Let’s go.””
Leng Xiao walked in front while Gu Feng followed behind.
Ye Qingwan walked in the middle, following Leng Xiao’s footsteps.
Because of their clothes and temperament, one could tell at a glance that they were from a big city. All the way from the village entrance to Ding Chen’s house, the villagers ‘gazes were fixed on them.
Before they reached Ding Chen’s house…
A ferocious dog sound came from his house. Ye Qingwan looked up and saw a big yellow dog standing on the edge of the house, looking at them fiercely.
Chapter 205 Playing Dead Miss Wanwan, this way.”
Gu Feng immediately took two steps forward and let Ye Qingwan walk beside him.
This was to prevent the big yellow dog from jumping down from the bungalow.
When they arrived at Ding Chen’s house, Leng Xiao knocked on the door a few times. A response came from inside,”Wait a minute.””
Then, footsteps came from the courtyard.
The door is open, a woman of about sixty is holding a small milk baby standing inside the door.
She sized them up suspiciously, her eyes flashing with caution.” Who are you looking for?”
“Are you Madam Ding?”
The woman’s expression changed when Leng Xiao said that. She said,” You’ve got the wrong person.””
He raised his hand and was about to close the door.
Gu Feng was wary of her tricks.
He reached in to stop her from closing the door.
The woman screamed,” Who are you? Are you trying to rob me in broad daylight?”
“We’re here to look for Ding Chen.”
“He died a long time ago.”
Upon hearing Ding Chen’s name, the woman’s eyes became filled with fear, and her voice became louder and louder.
Leng Xiao sneered coldly.”You know best whether Ding Chen is dead or not.”
As soon as he finished speaking, he lowered his voice and warned,”We’re here to ask Ding Chen a few questions and then we’ll leave. You’d better cooperate. Otherwise, you can forget about staying here in peace.””
When Ye Qingwan heard Leng Xiao mention Ding Chen, she looked at him in surprise.
“Brother Leng Xiao, Ding Chen is still alive?”
She had heard that Ding Chen had died a long time ago.
Leng Xiao turned to look at Ye Qingwan, and the coldness in his eyes disappeared.” Yes, he pretended to be dead to the public, but in fact, he was still alive.””
“Who are you people?”
The panic in the woman’s eyes deepened, and her eyes darted back and forth between the three of them.
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and said coldly,” I’m Ye Bocheng’s daughter.”
“You…”
The woman suddenly retreated.
She stepped on a child’s toy marble and leaned back unsteadily.
Seeing that she and the child in her arms were about to fall to the ground, Leng Xiao reached out to pull her back.
The woman steadied herself and saw that they were not easy to deal with.
She could only lower her head and say in a low voice,” Come in.”
The three of them entered the courtyard, and the woman carrying the child brought them into the living room.
“Wait a moment, I’ll go in and see him.”
“There’s a strong smell of disinfectant in this room.”
Gu Feng looked around the room and looked at the closed bedroom door.
The woman had just entered the house.
Leng Xiao frowned as he looked at the toys scattered all over the room.
Other than the smell of disinfectant, the biggest smell was the smell of children’s urine.
In the trash can a few steps away, there were a few diapers. The smell came from there.
Ye Qingwan’s phone rang. It was Leng Xiaoduan.
She walked out of the living room and stood under the eaves to answer the call.” Hello.””
“Sister Qingwan, there’s a big client who wants to work with us…”
On the other end of the phone, Leng Xiaoduan’s clear and pleasant voice came through.” This big client is from the capital. He said he wants to sign a long-term partnership with us.”
The living room door opened and Gu Feng came out.
Ye Qingwan glanced at him.
In the living room, the woman called for them to enter the room.
She said to Leng Xiaoduan,” Xiaoduan, I have something to do outside now. Send me the other party’s information later.””
“Okay, Sister Qingwan, I’ll go back tomorrow.”
“Yes, pay attention to safety”
After hanging up, Ye Qingwan and Gu Feng went into the living room.
Leng Xiao and the old lady walked in front of them.
As soon as he stepped into the room, a pungent smell assaulted his nose.
Ye Qingwan’s expression changed slightly and she frowned. She instinctively covered her nose with her hand.
The old woman said awkwardly,” Although he’s still alive, he’s been bedridden for many years and refuses to go out to see the light. The smell in the house is not good. Bear with it.””
Gu Feng saw Ye Qingwan holding back the smell in the room and walked to the window. With a whoosh, the tightly shut curtains were pulled open, and light shone in the originally dark room.
Chapter 206: It’s None of My Business “Don’t open the curtains.”
A furious roar came from the bed.
Gu Feng turned around and glanced at Ding Chen coldly. He then opened the window and let the fragrance of the Magnolia tree in the courtyard outside waft in.
“What right do you have to do this? Quickly close the window and draw the curtains.”
Ding Chen turned around and shouted at his wife again.
The next second, the little boy in the old woman’s arms cried out in fear.
Cowardice flashed across the old woman’s eyes. She did not dare to disobey Ding Chen or offend Gu Feng and the others.
He knew that they were not to be trifled with.
She only took two steps back and softly shouted at the little boy in her arms.
“Get out. Crying every day is so annoying.”
Ding Chen was bedridden all year round and had a bad temper.
He cursed, grabbed the teacup on the bedside table, and threw it at the child in the old woman’s arms.
The cup missed the child and was caught by Leng Xiao, who was standing beside him. The water in the cup poured onto the child’s clothes.
Leng Xiao went forward and grabbed Ding Chen’s hand. He was in so much pain that he cried out and scolded,”Let go of me. Where did you get this bastard cake from?””
“Don’t pretend to be crazy. Don’t you know where I came from?”
Leng Xiao shook off his hand and stared at Ding Chen fiercely.” What did you do fifteen years ago? If you don’t want to suffer, tell me quickly.”
I don’t understand you
The panic in Ding Chen’s eyes appeared.
He didn’t dare to look at Leng Xiao, Ye Qingwan, or Gu Feng.
She kept shaking her head.” Get lost. I told you I didn’t want to bring a random man home, but you didn’t listen.”
As he scolded, he scolded his wife.
“Pa!”
Leng Xiao slapped Ding Chen’s face.
His wife screamed,” Don’t hit him! Don’t hit him!””
Leng Xiao shot a cold glare at her. The woman swallowed her saliva and did not dare to make another sound.
“My patience is limited.”
Leng Xiao did not look like an honest person, nor was he a gentleman. He was full of sharpness.
He rolled up his sleeves and sneered, looking more like a hooligan.
It made people subconsciously feel afraid.
Ding Chen was no exception.
His pupils shrank.
Half of his face was swollen.
There was still a fishy sweetness in his mouth.
Leng Xiao did not show any mercy. He stepped on the edge of the bed and bent down. His slender hand grabbed Ding Chen’s collar and pulled his head off the bed.
“Fifteen years ago, how did you kill Uncle Ye?”
“..”
Ding Chen did not want to say.
Leng Xiao was indeed very patient.
After asking for the second time and waiting for a few seconds.
Another loud slap rang in the room.
Ding Chen was slapped on both sides of his face.
He was a man in his fifties, but he was slapped by someone who was similar to his son.
This was simply the greatest humiliation in his life.
“If you don’t tell me, I’ll let you try this.”
As Leng Xiao spoke, he took out a small bottle from his pocket.
Ding Chen’s expression changed drastically when he saw this.”
“Do you know what this is?”
“What?”
“If this is sprayed on your body, your entire body will itch. You won’t be able to stop even if you scratch your skin. Ding Chen, you’ve lived an ignoble life until now. If you don’t want to die, tell me everything you know.”
Ye Qingwan took another step forward.
She stood beside Leng Xiao and said coldly,” We know that you were involved in my father’s death back then. To think that my father has always treated you as a friend, but you inhumanely killed him for his research results. Ding Chen, since we found you today, we know everything you’ve done.”
“I, I didn’t harm Bocheng, I didn’t.”
As Ding Chen spoke, he suddenly broke down and cried loudly.” Bocheng and I are good friends. I admire his talent. How could I harm him?” They wronged me. This has nothing to do with me.”
Chapter 207: What Are You Trying to Do? “Who are they?”
Ye Qingwan asked.
That terrifying scene appeared in Ding Chen’s mind and he shook his head crazily.” I don’t know. I don’t know anything. Don’t ask me. I’ve already hidden here from South City. Why are you forcing me?””
“You are hiding because you have done something wrong.”
Leng Xiao’s gaze was cold and sharp.” Ding Chen, you probably don’t want your family to bear the blame for the sins you’ve committed, right?”
“What do you want to do? This is a lawful society.”
Ding Chen looked at his wife in panic.
The woman had yet to coax the baby in her arms. The baby kept crying, but no one noticed his cries.
Meeting Ding Chen’s gaze, the woman carried the child and walked out.
Gu Feng and Leng Xiao looked at each other.
She followed him out.
Leng Xiao said disdainfully,” You still know that it’s a lawful society? Then why didn’t you think that it’s a lawful society when you harmed people fifteen years ago? Didn’t you think that evil would be punished? Since I can find this place, you should know that I can make your family wish they were dead.”
“You, who are you?”
Ding Chen looked at Leng Xiao in confusion.
He knew that Ye Qingwan was Ye Bocheng’s daughter.
However, he did not remember Leng Xiao.
“Leng Xiao.”
Ding Chen’s face turned ashen as he spat out these two words.
He remembered.
Ye Bocheng’s right-hand man, the Leng couple, had died in a car accident with him.
That car accident was too tragic.
When he saw Ye Bocheng’s body, he believed that he was really dead.
“I’m sorry. I was muddle-headed back then, but the person who wanted to kill them wasn’t me.”
Ding Chen wept bitterly and repented.
Ye Qingwan’s expression changed a few times. She pursed her lips tightly as she looked at Ding Chen’s half-true repentance.
She thought of the deaths of her father and Leng Xiao’s parents, and then she thought of her mother’s death.
At that time, the eight-year-old her had promised her mother that she would return to the Gu family with Gu Shimo. During those ten years, Zhao Qinlan had forced her to repeat the oath over and over again.
She had dreamed a few times that Gu Shimo had died tragically in a car accident, just like her father.
That fear accompanied her and she could not shake it off.
She thought that she was depressed.
Leng Xiao and Leng Xiaoduan were in a worse state than her.
Leng Xiao had dropped out of school after his parents died and worked hard to support Leng Xiaoduan’s education.
The siblings depended on each other.
Leng Xiao had suffered more than she had.
However, he didn’t think it was difficult. He had to find out the truth and find the murderer who killed their parents.
Ye Qingwan admired his perseverance.
Four lives had been lost, but Ding Chen wanted to make himself feel at ease by saying that he was muddle-headed.
She suppressed the urge to kill this harmful thing and interrupted his crying. She asked coldly,” Then tell me, who harmed my father?””
“Yes, yes.” I can’t say.”
“If you can’t tell us, then we can only bring you back to South City and tell you at the police station.”
Ye Qingwan turned to Leng Xiao.” Brother Leng Xiao, he killed our parents. We can’t just let him be punished.” Since he won’t say that he’s the mastermind, then let his wife, son, and grandson pay the debt. Remember to make them pay double.”
Ye Qingwan deliberately slowed down the last few words.
Although she was scaring Ding Chen, she was putting on a show.
You have to act like you’re doing it.
Leng Xiao nodded.” Don’t worry. I’ll make sure that the Ding Family will suffer a fate worse than death for generations to come.””
“What do you want to do?”
Ding Chen asked shakily.
Leng Xiao raised his eyebrows, looking as if he was going to pay with his life.” You’ve killed four people. Let me calculate how many people your Ding family has. I’ll also pay with my own life. Your Ding family should have enough people, right? After all, you have two sons and three grandchildren.”
“I, I’ll talk, I’ll talk.”
Ding Chen met Leng Xiao’s murderous gaze and shouted in fear.
Chapter 208: Did You Know? In the living room outside.
Gu Feng watched coldly as the old woman coaxed her grandson.
He glanced into the room from time to time.
Hearing that Ding Chen was willing to tell him, he narrowed his eyes.
He knew that Ye Qingwan had started recording the moment she entered the room.
He turned on the recording on his phone and prepared to record Ding Chen’s instructions.
At this moment, in South City.
Gu Shimo got off work early and went to pick up Ye Zixi from school.
As soon as she parked her car at school, her phone rang.
When he saw the name on the caller ID, a cold glint flashed across his eyes and his long fingers pressed the answer button.
An indifferent ” Hello ” escaped from his thin lips.
“Gu Shimo, how could you play such tricks behind my back? How could you harm the Joneses?”
Zhao Qinlan’s sharp and angry voice came from the phone.
Gu Shimo’s handsome eyebrows were cold. He looked out of the car window and inadvertently saw the man in the car beside him.
It was Ji Tianheng.
Ji Tianheng’s car window was half-opened, and there was half a cigarette between his slender fingers.
When he looked over, the other party also saw him.
She raised her eyebrows at him and raised her hand.
It was a greeting.
Their relationship wasn’t very good to begin with, so they just greeted each other.
He said coldly,” Zhao Wenjue brought this upon himself.”
“Gu Shimo, did you know about this long ago? That’s why you showed no mercy to the Joneses?”
Zhao Qinlan was not sure if Gu Shimo knew about his background.
After all, if Professor Gu wanted to tell Gu Shimo, he should have told Gu Shimo more than 20 years ago, not now.
Gu Xiaoquan’s death was an accident.
It was also impossible for him to know that he was about to die and tell Gu Shimo the secret.
Gu Shimo’s only source of information was Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan had seen the photo in her safe and tested her. She might have guessed that it was Gu Shimo.
“Know what?”
Gu Shimo’s voice was flat.
Zhao Qinlan’s words were about to reach her mouth when she suddenly changed her words.
“I don’t care what you know. You’ve already harmed Zhongtong. You can’t harm your uncle anymore. Shi Mo, I admit that you have stopped my card, but your uncle has no grudge against you. How can you be so inhumane?”
Gu Shimo suddenly laughed. His laughter was bone-chilling.
“Human nature?”
“Yes, you’re too inhumane. You’re no different from an animal.”Zhao Qinlan gritted her teeth and cursed.
“Are you talking about yourself? You didn’t even let go of a photo of a dead person and pricked yourself with needles. Is this your humanity?”
“You, what do you mean? What nonsense did that little slut Ye Qingwan say to you?”
Zhao Qinlan was sure that Ye Qingwan, that b * tch, had a foul mouth.
Gu Shimo said coldly,” In terms of being cheap, I’m afraid that no woman in this world is as cheap as you. You’re so cheap that you didn’t even attend your husband’s funeral to have an affair with your bodyguard.”
“Gu Shimo, how dare you scold me like this?”
Zhao Qinlan was going crazy.
Before she went crazy, she wanted to tear Gu Shimo into pieces.
He really regretted not knowing his background earlier.
If he had known when he was young, he would not have lived until now.
“I’m just talking about the facts. I don’t have the intention to scold you. If you want to be scolded, I can fulfill your wish.”
“What do you want to do?”
“What are you doing?”
Gu Shimo laughed.
He said unhurriedly,” Just like Zhao Wenjue today, if I let you climb up the trending searches, the netizens ‘eyes will be sharp. You should know in your heart whether they will scold you or praise you.”
“What evidence do you have?”
“You might not know this, but I was the one who gave Ziyang the address to find you in A City. What evidence do you want? Is it a video of you and Mu Yuan having an affair, or a photo of you hugging each other…”
“Gu Shimo, you, you bastard, you actually…You can’t do this. If you do this, Ziyang will hate you too.”
Chapter 209: He’s Not as Handsome as You “You know about Ziyang?”
Gu Shimo said disdainfully,” If Ziyang wants to hate you, he will hate you. He will only be ashamed of having a shameless mother like you.”
“Gu Shimo, what exactly do you want? When did you find out about your background? Did that bastard Gu Xiaoquan tell you?”
He listened as she scolded Gu Xiaoquan.
A cold glint flashed across Gu Shimo’s eyes.
“You don’t have the right to scold him. You should also watch your mouth. If I hear you scold the person I care about again, I guarantee that the video of you and Mu Yuan will be trending. You will become a slut that everyone despises.”
There was a commotion outside.
The school gate opened, and the parents who were picking up their children went in one after another.
In front of the school building in the distance, innocent children lined up and walked out.
Gu Shimo hung up on Zhao Qinlan.
As soon as he got out of the car, someone beside him called out to him enthusiastically,” President Gu, are you here to pick up the child too?”
The person who called him was the person who had tried to get close to him on the first day of school.
Gu Shimo hummed indifferently. Perhaps it was because his aura was too strong and too cold that the other party did not dare to say anything else.
In the car next to him, Ji Tianheng was still sitting steadily.
He didn’t seem to have any intention to come down.
The cigarette in his hand had already burned out.
He didn’t know if he didn’t know or if he wanted to pinch something between his fingers, but he still held the cigarette butt.
His eyes were deep and dark as he looked into the school.
What Lu Mingyu said to him in the morning echoed in his ears again and again.” Tianheng, Wanwan might have asked Jiang Luan and found out that she divorced when her child was one year old. If you still can’t let it go, go and see if you can accept that she has a child.”
When he made mistakes time and time again at work, he was so annoyed that he wanted to smoke, but he could not solve the problem.
He drove here.
That woman was as beautiful and gentle as she was back then.
She smiled so warmly and beautifully at the children, but what left the deepest impression on him was the scene when they broke up.
Bo Yi pursed his lips tightly. The cigarette butt between his fingers suddenly broke and fell to the ground outside the car.
He sat in the car and watched as she handed the children to their parents one by one.
In the end, only the little girl in front of her was left.
Her hair was tied into two small braids. Even from a distance, one could tell that she was very cute.
Gu Shimo held Ye Zixi’s hand as they walked out of the school and saw that Ji Tianheng had not left yet.
His eyes moved slightly. He walked to the front of the car and took the initiative to greet him.” Isn’t Lawyer Ji here to pick up the child?”
“President Gu’s son is already so big?”
“He is my uncle.”
Ye Zixi answered.
His voice was tender and serious.
He looked up at Ji Tianheng’s handsome face and shook his head in his heart. Such a handsome uncle, how could he be like that little fool, Jiang Mianmian, and say that his uncle was his father?
It seemed that his uncle really looked too similar to him.
Ji Tianheng smiled when he heard Ye Zixi’s words.
“So he’s your uncle. I thought he was your father, but he’s not as handsome as you. Little friend, what’s your name?”
Ji Tianheng’s words made Ye Zixi feel comfortable.
A proud smile immediately appeared on his handsome little face. He said narcissistically,” Although your brain is as bad as Jiang Mianmian’s, I’ll tell you since you have good taste. My name is Ye Zixi.”
“Hello, Zixi. Who did you say my brain is as bad as?”
Ji Tianheng was clearly a cold person, but he was chatting happily with Ye Zixi.
Gu Shimo noticed his abnormal behavior and did not say anything.
Ye Zixi raised her eyebrows and pretended to be mature in her childish voice.” It’s my deskmate, Jiang Mianmian. She’s a cute but silly little girl.”
“Is that so? Why is she so silly?”
Ji Tianheng might not have realized how abnormal his amiable appearance was.
Chapter 210: Don’t Ask Such Impolite Questions “Is Lawyer Ji planning to end his single life?”
Gu Shimo couldn’t take it anymore and interjected. In other words, he was a bachelor. What was he interested in children?
It was too abnormal.
Ji Tianheng laughed and looked at the school field. He said calmly,” I won’t take up President Gu’s time anymore. If you’re free, let’s have a meal together. Miss Ye and Zixi are both very cute.””
“Uncle, do you know my mother?”
Ye Zixi’s eyes suddenly lit up.
The joy in her tone was so obvious that Gu Shimo’s heart skipped a beat.
She instinctively opened the car door and stuffed him into it.
Ye Zixi struggled instinctively and shouted,” Uncle, don’t push me. I still have to talk to Uncle Ji. Uncle Ji, do you have a girlfriend? Do you have a family?””
“Zixi, don’t ask such rude questions.”
Gu Shimo put on a stern face and lectured her sternly.
Ye Zixi was still turning her head towards Ji Tianheng.
Ji Tianheng rarely interacted with children, so he didn’t understand Ye Zixi’s intention.
He was about to answer.
Ye Zixi was safely stuffed into the car.
Gu Shimo closed the car door.
He glanced at Ji Tianheng and opened the door to the driver’s seat.
When they reached home, Gu Shimo carried Ye Zixi to the living room and placed her on the sofa.
He said seriously,” Zixi, let’s talk.”
Ye Zixi looked at Gu Shimo timidly.” When will my mother get off work? Aren’t you going to pick her up?””
“Don’t try to change the topic.”
Gu Shimo stood in front of Ye Zixi. His powerful aura made him immediately shut up.
“Didn’t you say before that you wanted me to pursue your mother and be your father?”
Ye Zixi blinked.
His mind spun a few times.
Half of the fear on her face disappeared and she smiled.” Uncle, can you sit down and talk? If you stand so high, my neck will break. When Mom comes back and sees my neck broken, she will be sad.”
The corners of Gu Shimo’s mouth twitched.
In the end, he sat down.
In order to make it easier to talk to him, he sat next to Ye Zixi.
“Can you answer my question now?”
“Sure, but was Uncle jealous when he asked me that?”
Ye Zixi asked.
The little one had a high IQ.
Gu Shimo smiled faintly.” I’m not jealous. I just feel that you’re being dishonest. Do you know that a person’s integrity is the most important?”
“How am I not trustworthy?” Ye Zixi was not convinced.” I’m asking you to pursue my mother and be my father, but Uncle, your abilities are limited. What can I do?” My mother hasn’t married you yet, but she has the right to compare goods with others.”
“Shop around? Where did you learn those words?”
Gu Shimo’s face instantly darkened and he frowned.
Ye Zixi looked proud.” I learned it from books or television. The teacher said that you have to learn more to become outstanding. Uncle, although the uncle from this afternoon wasn’t as handsome as you, he was pretty good in other aspects.”
“You know he’s not as handsome as me?”
“Ah, because I’m much worse than him, so I think he shouldn’t be as handsome as you.”
“..”
“Uncle, the person I like the most is still you. You don’t have to worry about this.”
“Is that so?”
Gu Shimo snorted coldly in disbelief.
Seeing that he was angry, Ye Zixi smiled and explained,” Actually, I asked other men to pursue my mother so that my mother would see how good you are in comparison. That way, you can marry her sooner.””
It seemed to make sense.
Gu Shimo was also a proud man. Naturally, he would not feel that he was inferior to others.
“It’s only a matter of time before I marry your mother. Don’t ask anyone else to pursue your mother in the future. Anyway, I’m going to be your father sooner or later. You can call me that in advance. This way, I can help you participate in the parent-child activities in your school in the future.”
