Chapter 68 Keep talking, don't stop.

According to rumors, he should be decisive and dignified, which doesn't quite match the gentle and reserved personality in front of me.

The differences can be quite significant!

Unsure, she asked again, "Gu Hai, the person in charge of the Gu family?"

"What, do you want me to show you my ID card?" Gu Hai approached Ji Wanwan, looking at that somewhat familiar face.

Ji Wanwan quickly waved her hand, a smile tugging at the corner of her lips: "No need, no need."

There's no need for that. She was just a little skeptical, after all, it was quite different from what she remembered.

Ji Wanwan never expected that she would walk for so long and end up in the front yard of the Gu family's house.

"Uncle, I'm lost. How do I get back to the backyard?"

Ji Wanwan felt a sense of familiarity with him and didn't treat him at all as the decisive and efficient Gu Hai from the rumors, so she directly called him Uncle.

At least in her presence, she appeared quite gentle.

Ji Wanwan had nothing to be afraid of.

"Hmm, I don't know either."

...

The backyard was built by Gu Qingci without his permission, and Gu Hai had never been there. He didn't even know exactly where to enter.

He wouldn't care what Gu Qingci wanted to do.

Ji Wanwan exclaimed in surprise. The entire Gu family belonged to him, and he had no idea!

So where is she going now?

Just as Ji Wanwan was worrying, Gu Hai spoke up: "You look a lot like your mother, but your personalities are different."

“She’s more composed, while you…” He glanced at Ji Wanwan from head to toe, “are more lively.”

A seemingly random remark made Ji Wanwan frown.

Her mother?

Ji Wanwan looked puzzled: "You've met my mother?"

She has never met her parents since birth, and this is the first time she has heard her mother mentioned by someone else.

Gu Hai gave a faint "hmm".

"Then..." Ji Wanwan wanted to ask something more, but a figure flashed by in the distance and quickly came to her side.

She separated the two of them, looking at Gu Hai with wary eyes.

Dmitry had never been to the Gu family before, having lived in Russia since childhood, so he naturally didn't know that the person in front of him was Gu Hai.

Ji Wanwan's mouth gaped open, her view blocked by Dmitri's body, her face filled with speechlessness.

I just tried to contact him, but he's not here.

Now that I finally wanted to ask him something, he's suddenly appeared again without me noticing.

"No, how come you're so good at timing things?" Ji Wanwan pushed him away.

Dmitri remained expressionless and silent.

He reached out and grabbed Ji Wanwan's wrist, trying to pull her away. Before Ji Wanwan could react, the force in his hand lessened, and the cane fell to the ground.

He forcibly dragged her away, forgetting that Ji Wanwan's ankle was still injured.

Ji Wanwan skipped along behind him, turning back to wave at Gu Hai: "I'll find you again next time!"

Gu Hai watched Ji Wanwan skip and hop along, muttering to himself, "Perhaps you should call me father..."

Gu Hai met Ji Wanwan's mother, Ji Meiyan, at a brothel, where Ji Wanwan was born unexpectedly.

At that time, Gu Hai was a playboy who flitted among countless women without ever getting attached to them.

Ji Meiyan had approached him when she was pregnant with Ji Wanwan, but he only tried to get rid of her with money...

He's completely in the state of being a scumbag.

Later, Gu Hai behaved himself and stopped playing around, so his family arranged for him to marry Qian Xi, who was a good match for him.

He never inquired about anything concerning Ji Wanwan during that time.

Even now, he can still recognize Ji Wanwan as his daughter at a glance, after all, she looks so much like Ji Meiyan...

They were almost identical.

Gu Hai shook his head, pulling himself out of his thoughts.

He felt there was no need to tell her, and it was fine as it was, otherwise Ji Wanwan would hate him to death!

It's all because of youth. Gu Hai often laments that he made too many mistakes when he was young, and he is now trying his best to make up for them.

He just didn't expect that his son would fall for his daughter who was with him outside the marriage.

That would put him in a difficult position...

Gu Hai turned and walked onto the arched bridge, picked up the fish food and continued feeding the fish, thinking about how to break up the two of them.

...

He has no other hobbies now, except feeding the fish.

The goldfish under the arched bridge were all plump and adorable after he fed them.

Meanwhile, Ji Wanwan looked at Dmitry's back and really wanted to kick him!

"Could you take care of the injured?" Ji Wanwan raised her right leg on tiptoe, but it still touched the ground from time to time, causing a sharp pain.

It made her gasp.

Is this settling a personal score?

Do you remember the last time I didn't help Katya up?

That was entirely for his own good!

"It hurts! Let go right now!"

This person is a complete two-faced individual; he acts one way in front of Katya and another way in front of everyone else…

Dmitri led her to a gazebo and released her hand.

Ji Wanwan sat down on the stone bench, panting heavily.

"Who told you to run around like that?"

Gu Qingci instructed him to try to keep Ji Wanwan from leaving the backyard.

Just as Dmitry returned from dealing with his business, he found that Ji Wanwan had disappeared, causing him to search for her for a long time.

When I looked, I saw that she was still chatting with someone else. It would be strange if I wasn't angry...

Ji Wanwan immediately lost her confidence: "I'm lost."

Dmitri glanced at her speechlessly.

Ji Wanwan quickly took out her phone from her pocket and handed it to him: "Three days, he gave us three days."

If Gu Qingci cannot be saved in three days, Ji Wanwan will have to go back.

We can't just stand by and watch Gu Qingci die.

Dmitry picked up his phone and swiped rapidly, his brow furrowing even more.

When I saw that long video again, a hint of sympathy flashed in my eyes. I was glad that I hadn't been treated like that in the dungeon.

Otherwise, he would feel disgusted by his own dirtiness.

He handed the phone back to Ji Wanwan: "I understand."

Ji Wanwan looked at him blankly: "So?"

"Say something if you can save them!"

That way, she can be mentally prepared...

"I don't know either." He was just a servant, and Qianxi wouldn't tell him how she was going to save him.

He had no idea whether he could be rescued.

At least his main task now is to protect Ji Wanwan.

Ji Wanwan sighed, again, she didn't know...

"If it doesn't work, take me back with you." Ji Wanwan lowered her head; after all, her life was more important.

Being alive is more important than anything else.

Saying she's dead is just her being stubborn.

Dmitri didn't respond to her, but instead stretched out her arm for her to grab.

Ji Wanwan understood immediately, and struggled to her feet, clutching his clothes.

This time, she won't get lost if she follows Dmitri.

In the corridor, Ji Wanwan asked Dmitri about Gu Hai, but he knew nothing about it.

Ji Wanwan thought he didn't want to tell her.

In fact, he really didn't know. He had only heard of this person, but didn't even know what he looked like.

Finally, Ji Wanwan shut up, and Dmitri brought her back to the house in the backyard.

The servant brought in the food.

Ji Wanwan had no appetite, so she ate a few bites and went upstairs.

After entering the room, she immediately sprawled out on the bed, still thinking about Gu Hai's words.

Do you know her mother?

How could Gu Hai know her mother?

Ji Wanwan's hometown is in Z City, which is thousands of kilometers away from S City. How could they know each other?

Just as she picked up her phone to ask Si Shu, the phone vibrated, and Ji Wanwan glanced at it.

The screen clearly displayed a call from Kolov!

Startled, Ji Wanwan loosened her grip, and the phone slammed onto her nose with a "thud," sending a tingling, numbing sensation through her instantly.

Ji Wanwan wore a mask of pain.

"It hurts so much! He's crazy, he escaped but still wants to keep harassing her!"

Just as she picked up her phone to hang up, her brain went blank and then exploded.

The phone is in a call!

Her nose, instead of her fingers, connected the phone.

At that moment, a hoarse voice, tinged with suppressed emotion, came from the phone.

"Keep talking, don't stop..."

Then came a muffled groan accompanied by the faint sound of flowing water.
