Chapter 44 I finally found you, baby.

He leaned against the wall, arms crossed, head slightly raised, eyes closed, and gave a soft "hmm" when he heard Ji Wanwan ask him a question.

Sure enough, given his cold nature, why would he help her for no reason?

"So, are you with him now, or with Katya?"

Dmitri opened his eyes and remained silent for a moment: "I will go back to her."

Besides, he has already promised Katya to wait for him, and he will not go back on his word.

Ji Wanwan asked again, "So, do you really like her?"

If Dmitri was simply someone Katya had picked up, then she wouldn't suspect him.

But since he deliberately approached Katya and infiltrated their family, everything about him could be a disguise.

Dmitri looked at her curious expression and said coldly, "You'd better mind your own business."

"I told you before, whatever you do, don't get caught." Who knew it would turn out like this.

In the end, he still had to leave Katya to come here and protect her...

Ji Wanwan lowered her eyes and pursed her lower lip.

She didn't want to either, but who knew that Kolov would be like a persistent leech!

Ji Wanwan felt like she was going to have heart failure; her heart was like it was on a rollercoaster.

At this moment, Gu Qingci walked down from upstairs, holding her passport in her hand.

He handed the passport to Ji Wanwan: "This is a forged identity. Use this to go back to China first."

“If we stay here any longer, this place might collapse…” Gu Qingci looked at the house every day, noticing that it was missing corners and edges.

The interior was in an even worse state.

In just a few days, Kolov's influence continued to infiltrate the United States, and he was on the verge of establishing a new Mafia.

The forces left behind by Lin Zhuang are about to collapse.

Ji Wanwan took the ID card and glanced at it.

Name: Lillian Carr, American.

Ji Wanwan thanked Gu Qingci, but also felt very sorry for him.

Gu Qingci wanted to reach out and pat her head, but remembering her previous evasiveness, he decided against it.

"At that time, you might have to go through some trouble and disguise yourself as a bodyguard to come with us."

Otherwise, if Ji Wanwan went out directly, she would definitely be discovered.

Ji Wanwan sat cross-legged on the sofa and nodded obediently.

Gu Qingci gestured for Dmitry to step down, then sat down next to Ji Wanwan.

Ji Wanwan glanced at him out of the corner of her eye and quietly moved a little to the side.

Before Gu Qingci confessed his feelings to Ji Wanwan, the two became buddies.

After Gu Qingci confessed his feelings, Ji Wanwan always felt inexplicably awkward.

Although Gu Qingci was somewhat disappointed, she didn't say anything: "How is your recovery going?"

Gu Qingci had been trying her best to deal with Kolov, hoping to give her time to recover.

Otherwise, given Kolov's antics, they'll find out about her sooner or later.

"It's recovered exceptionally well!" Ji Wanwan no longer wants to have children.

The thought of that feeling still terrifies her...

Gu Qingci's lips curled up slightly, her narrow eyes filled with a smile: "That's good."

Ji Wanwan mustered up her courage and patted his shoulder: "Thank you so much, I really don't know what I would do without you."

I may never be able to return to China in my lifetime...

Gu Qingci was stunned for a moment, looking at the little hand on her shoulder, a glint of light flashing in her eyes.

He placed his hand on hers, his thin lips slightly parted: "Wanwan, let me protect you for the rest of my life."

Ji Wanwan felt the warmth from the back of her hand, immediately pulled it back, and forced a smile.

"I'm not good enough for you, you're so outstanding..."

Ji Wanwan knew she couldn't hurt Gu Qingci any further, so she could only politely refuse.

Besides, after what happened with Kolov, Ji Wanwan had no intention of dating at all!

"It's okay, I'll wait for you, until the day you accept me." Gu Qingci raised his hand and brushed away the stray hairs from her forehead.

Ji Wanwan instinctively stepped back; she wasn't used to Gu Qingci's touch.

Gu Qingci's hand remained suspended in mid-air, and finally he had no choice but to withdraw it.

His words made Ji Wanwan feel even more guilty. Wasn't this clearly ruining someone's promising future?

She quickly declined, jokingly saying, "If you find someone suitable, then go for it."

"As the saying goes, there are plenty of beautiful things to be had, so there's no need to hang yourself on this one tree."

"I only want you." His tone was resolute yet obsessive.

Ji Wanwan remained silent, swallowing hard. The tone sounded somewhat familiar…

Gu Qingci realized that her words were a bit harsh, so she lowered her voice.

"You should get some rest. I'll take you out tomorrow."

Ji Wanwan hummed in agreement, not daring to say anything more.

Her intuition told her that Gu Qingci and Kolov were the same kind of people.

*

Early the next morning.

Ji Wanwan woke up very early; it's fair to say she couldn't fall back asleep at all.

She picked up the ID card next to her and examined it carefully, trying to make it look more like the woman's identity.

Ji Wanwan permed her hair into big, wavy curls and then applied a layer of yellowish foundation to her face.

She even added freckles to her face, and the location of her mole was exactly the same.

She looked at herself in the mirror repeatedly.

Hmm, that's about right, it looks pretty much the same!

Dmitri brought her a black suit and a men's wig.

It looks a lot like the last one.

Ji Wanwan changed into a suit; she looked more like an insurance salesperson than a bodyguard…

She put on the wig, and also gave her a few pieces of beard and four shoulder pads.

Ji Wanwan used all of them, and finally put on specially made sky-high leather shoes.

Looking in the mirror again, he said, "That's more like it. I'm starting to look like a bodyguard."

After Gu Qingci came down, he saw her and paused for a few seconds, a little surprised. Then he raised an eyebrow and said, "Not bad, quite similar."

"Just stay in the middle and try not to look up."

Ji Wanwan nodded; she would rather die than look Kolov in the eye again.

She was so frightened last time that I showed it to Kolov.

Ji Wanwan stood at the top of the stairs, and that feeling of panic surged up again.

She paused for a moment, pressed her hand to her chest, and told herself not to be nervous and not to give herself away.

Gu Qingci glanced at her and gently patted her shoulder: "It's okay, I'm here."

Ji Wanwan gritted her teeth: "I can do it."

After Ji Wanwan went out, she mingled directly into the group of bodyguards and followed behind Gu Qingci.

Gu Qingci took all the bodyguards away, which attracted Kolov's attention.

Kolov stood on the second floor, his hands on the railing, looking towards the door, with no intention of stopping him.

His gaze swept over each of the bodyguards behind Gu Qingci; he had a premonition that Ji Wanwan would be there.

But I couldn't hear her silhouette; it didn't look like her...

It was thanks to the shoulder pads Ji Wanwan was wearing that Kolov could have recognized her from behind.

Ji Wanwan hadn't seen the sun for several days, and the sunlight shining on her eyes made her blink frequently and squeeze out some tears.

Ji Wanwan didn't see Kolov the whole time, and gradually breathed a sigh of relief, standing aside with her bodyguard.

Before leaving, Gu Qingci glanced at Kolov, a mocking smile playing on her lips.

Ji Wanwan was about to get into the car behind, but the ground was full of potholes, and Ji Wanwan was wearing high heels, which made her walk unsteadily.

Ji Wanwan tried her best to relax and walked very slowly, but this small detail still caught Kolov's attention.

His gaze was fixed on Ji Wanwan, as if confirming something.

He then gulped down a mouthful of wine and smashed the bottle down.

"I've finally found you, baby."
