Chapter 75: It was done by a madman...

What do you think?

Gu Qing had his reasons for letting Ji Wanwan stay in the backyard; perhaps the frontyard wasn't safe.

Ji Wanwan compromised: "Okay."

Later that evening, after finishing her dinner, Ji Wanwan strolled around the backyard with her cane. The maid was with her, but Ji Wanwan said she wanted to walk alone.

Actually, she wanted to see where the road led to the front yard, and then try her luck at the arched bridge to see if she could find Gu Hai.

Dmitry had already left before the meal, though Ji Wanwan didn't know where he went.

She wandered around and around until she reached the spot where Qianxi had stood. She clearly remembered the crabapple tree, its branches adorned with brightly blooming crabapple blossoms.

As the evening breeze blew, crabapple petals drifted down onto the blue bricks, their fragrance filling Ji Wanwan's nostrils.

It is indeed beautiful, but not as beautiful as the kapok tree in front of her house. Crabapple blossoms are only ornamental, while kapok flowers can dispel dampness and relieve heat.

Ji Wanwan glanced at the wall and prepared to leave, but as she lowered her eyes, she noticed a hole in the wall behind her.

She leaned closer to look, and unsurprisingly, it was a dog hole.

And coincidentally, she was able to get there!

"No way!" Ji Wanwan could already picture the embarrassing scene of herself crawling through the dog hole.

She lingered at the entrance of the cave, looking around, but there was no one there!

It's a battle between the left and right hemispheres now.

Drill?

Not drilling?

Then he shook his head: "Forget it, I'm not going to crawl through." It's too embarrassing.

After all, people have pride, and trees have bark!

But how do we get out?

Ji Wanwan leaned against the wall, looking down at the dog hole.

"Why did I have to encounter a dog hole? Couldn't it be a human hole?"

Ji Wanwan sighed; she was still unlucky.

Just as she was about to leave, a reddish-brown dog suddenly darted out.

"Oh my god, you scared me!"

Ji Wanwan flinched, her heart nearly skipped a beat, her face paled, and her features contorted in pain.

Her biggest fear is dogs!

When Ji Wanwan was a child, a dog chased her for an entire street and wouldn't let her go.

Ji Wanwan looked at the dog in front of her, its thin body pressed against the wall, its hands tucked into its chest, gripping its cane tightly.

This dog is small in size and has a face that looks like a fox; it's quite cute.

But Ji Wanwan was still terrified.

The dog kept barking at Ji Wanwan, its tail practically leaving a blur, but Ji Wanwan had no idea what it meant.

Her voice trembled slightly: "You, you mustn't come any closer!"

"Believe it or not, I'll hit you!" She gripped her cane and shook it haphazardly, which made the dog bark even louder.

Ji Wanwan gestured towards the dog hole, saying, "Good dog, please go now!"

"You're not welcome here, please leave..."

Ji Wanwan felt so inferior. The dog looked quite cute, but she still felt resistant. The trauma of being chased by a dog when she was a child came back to her.

Even when Ji Wanwan told the dog to leave, it seemed to understand human nature and wouldn't go; it just wanted to stay in front of her.

Seeing that it wouldn't leave, Ji Wanwan pointed at herself and asked, "Then should I leave?"

It still didn't react, so Ji Wanwan prepared to walk around the crabapple tree and leave.

Who knew it would follow her around, blocking her path, and bark even louder at Ji Wanwan.

"Ancestors, let me go!"

Suddenly, the dog barked to the left, as if gesturing for Ji Wanwan to go that way.

Seeing that it was some distance away from her, Ji Wanwan's fear gradually subsided. She pointed to the left and asked, "That way?"

The dog nodded intelligently.

Ji Wanwan raised an eyebrow. This dog is really intelligent!

She followed the dog to the far left, where there was a door that was closed from the outside but could be opened from the inside.

Ji Wanwan was utterly shocked; this dog could even guess what she was going to do.

That's a bit too amazing.

Ji Wanwan looked at the dog in front of her, but kept her distance from it.

The dog was visibly disappointed. It wanted to get close to Ji Wanwan, but who knew she didn't like it and was terrified of it.

Ji Wanwan quickly opened the door and went to the front yard.

She vaguely remembered this place; she could see the arched bridge where Gu Hai was by passing through these corridors.

"Let's try our luck."

I hope he's still feeding his fish.

But the dog kept following her...

Moreover, they consciously kept their distance from her, making them particularly noticeable, and Ji Wanwan instantly felt a strong sense of security.

I don't seem to be that scared anymore.

Ji Wanwan walked through the corridor and arrived at the pavilion where she had stayed before. It was as if her dead memories had returned.

I walked forward with my cane until I finally saw the arched bridge.

From Ji Wanwan's perspective, there are two figures behind her: one is Gu Hai, and the other is Gu Yunting.

Gu Hai was still feeding the fish, while Gu Yunting enthusiastically started talking on the microphone, snatched the fish food from his hand, and threw it down.

The goldfish, which had been in groups, suddenly scattered.

"I don't care about the Gu family anymore, let whoever wants to do it do it!" Gu Yunting shouted.

Gu Hai's expression remained unchanged, and his tone was calm: "Have you forgotten our agreement?"

"I haven't forgotten. Anyway, it'll be soon. Give me three days."

"You can go to work by yourself then."

Although the Gu Group belongs to him, the Gu family will not hand it over to anyone else; it can only be managed by members of the Gu family.

Despite his public persona as a CEO, Gu Yunting is actually just an employee.

The only advantage is that I have more money than others.

Gu Hai, however, disagreed, as the rise and fall of the Gu Group had always been in his hands.

Otherwise, given Gu Yunting's five years of hard work and dedication, it's impossible that there was no progress at all; it was all his deliberate meddling.

The main problem is that Gu Hai doesn't want to get involved...

"Then good luck."

Ji Wanwan watched as the two people's lips opened and closed. Although it was quiet around them, they were a bit far away, so she still couldn't hear them clearly.

Just as she was about to step forward, the dog behind her suddenly swooped and rushed past Ji Wanwan.

Ji Wanwan's eyes widened, and she reached out to call out to it, but as soon as she looked up, four eyes were staring at her.

Seriously? Why did she have to do this now and then? Did she just want the two of them to know she was hiding here eavesdropping?

Ji Wanwan scratched her nose, gave the two of them an awkward smile, and walked over with her crutches.

"Uncle, it's been a long time." She forced a smile, raised her hand to greet him, and then quickly lowered it again.

Gu Yunting's eyes lit up when he saw Ji Wanwan; it was as if the heavens were on his side.

Didn't we find it easily?

He quickly went downstairs, acting like they were old friends: "You hurt your leg?"

Ji Wanwan looked down and saw that it had been almost a month and a half and it was still not better. It was all because of that madman Kolov!

"It was done by a madman."

"Who! I'll avenge you." Gu Yunting needed to build a good relationship with Ji Wanwan so he could persuade her to return to Kolov's side.

Ji Wanwan didn't even recognize the person in front of her; wasn't that a bit too extroverted?

"No need," Ji Wanwan said awkwardly, feeling that she had become even more introverted.

And even if she said it was Kolov who did it, there's probably nothing he could do.

Gu Hai looked at Gu Yunting with a look of disgust.

"Do you even know them? How dare you strike up a conversation with them?"
