Leaving the manor, Rong Yu was filled with self-reproach: "Qianmo, Gou Si is a ruthless person. If you lose the bet, he definitely won't let you off easily. Besides, I... I heard that he has all sorts of tricks when it comes to women. A while ago, a female celebrity was with him for a period of time, but she was tortured by Gou Si to the point that she had to have her uterus removed."

“Let’s go to the police. I’ve thought about it again and again, and the only way out is to call the police. As for the money I owe, don’t worry, I will definitely find a way to make it up in the next two days. This matter has nothing to do with you. Besides, what you just agreed to with Gou Si was just a verbal agreement, which doesn’t count at all.”

Rong Yu's mind was in complete turmoil, and deep self-blame made it difficult for him to even breathe.

"If I hadn't been so stupid to be deceived by my uncle, I wouldn't have gotten involved with these people, and you wouldn't have gotten into this mess because of me. Qianmo, I'm sorry, I'm really sorry."

Bai Qianmo sighed softly, "Let's just consider it fate. The capital is so big, and we just happened to run into each other. Since it has already happened, crying won't help."

Rong Yu covered his face and secretly wiped away the tears welling up in his eyes. His voice was dry as he asked, "Then what should we do? If Gou Si really buys those stocks as you said, and then loses money, he definitely won't let you off the hook."

Bai Qianmo chuckled: "You're just hoping I'll get lucky and maybe I really will guess right!"

Rong Yu stared blankly: "You... what time is it, how can you still make jokes like this? I'm so worried."

He increasingly felt that Qianmo was completely different from other girls, and the things she did were always so unbelievable.

Last time, I went to the coffee shop to intercept Guo Qiheng and signed that betting agreement. Now, the betting agreement is like a time bomb on my head. Before I could even defused it, an even bigger betting scheme has arisen here.

He really couldn't understand this girl anymore.

After persuading Rong Yu to go back, Bai Qianmo immediately called Fang Shu and asked him to investigate Gou Si.

This person doesn't seem like a simple local bully. Judging from the tight security around that manor, he's no ordinary person.

"Qianmo, Fifth Master advises you to go back as soon as possible. He will send someone else to handle the mission here."

Bai Qianmo's eyes turned slightly cold: "This is my own decision, and he has no right to interfere."

"Is it for Gu Jueye?" Fang Shu sighed inwardly.

Who would have thought that, after all the twists and turns, the two of them would end up together again?

Although Fifth Master didn't say anything on the surface, you can imagine how he felt inside.

Bai Qianmo gripped her phone tightly, remaining silent for a long while before saying, "I don't need to explain to you."

She knew these words would reach that person's ears, but there were some things she really needed to know.

Located in northern F country, this medieval-style castle is vast in area. At first glance, the lush green lawns complement the white walls of the castle, while towering dense forests form a natural barrier. The ever-flowing moat and the thick walls all highlight the castle's magnificence and the noble status of its owner.

After passing through the moat and entering the castle, it takes several minutes by car to reach the interior. Upon entering the gate, the corridor is decorated with portraits framed in solid wood. Judging from their clothing and appearance, they do not appear to be Westerners.

Walking through the corridor and spiraling up the red-lacquered wooden staircase, a telephone suddenly rang out from a previously quiet room.

"Hello!" a female voice rang out. After saying something on the other end, she replied in fluent Chinese, "Okay, I'll give it to him right away!"

The woman walked to an open-air balcony in the bedroom, where a graceful figure stood with her back to the door, seemingly resting with her eyes closed.

The man's skin was very pale, as if he hadn't been exposed to the sun for a long time, giving him a delicate, sickly pallor.

His eyebrows and eyes were like a painting, his long, dark eyelashes were slightly drooping, and his features were three-dimensional and soft, giving him a refined and clean temperament. When he was asleep, he was like a world-famous painting, calm and peaceful.

"Fifth Master, Fang Shu's phone number." The woman respectfully handed over the landline.

The man slowly opened his eyes, his eyelids, which had been slightly closed, and took the phone.

"How about it?"

After a moment of silence, the voice on the other end said, "She refuses to come back."

The man's handsome eyebrows lifted slightly, and his face, which was as gentle as water, exuded an aura of extreme coldness.

The maid standing to the side nervously lowered her head.

"she……"

The man remained silent for a long time, about to ask something, but then suddenly fell silent again. His hands, which were resting on his lap, slowly clenched, then slowly relaxed after a moment.

In the end, all that could be said was a silent sigh: "Protect her."

Fang Shu remained silent for a long time. The man asked in a deep voice, "What is it?"

"She...is back with that person!"

The arm holding the phone trembled slightly. After a long silence, the man's calm voice came through: "Understood."

Fang Shu wanted to say something, but felt that it would be wrong to say anything now; matters of the heart are not for outsiders to interfere with.

After hanging up the phone

The maid picked up a wool blanket from a chair and quietly draped it over the man's legs: "It's getting windy, let me push you inside."

"No need, I'll stay a little longer, you can go now."

The maid glanced at the man, then respectfully lowered her eyes: "Yes!"

On the day of the ribbon-cutting ceremony for "Green Fruit", almost all the main actors were present.

Because the filming location was a high school in Shanghai, the opening ceremony was also held at the school.

As the female lead of the drama, Su Le'er's outfit that day was particularly eye-catching, and the production team also placed her and Gu Hongxun in the center position when taking photos.
