"A receipt is fine with me, but give me the money, and let her have some more fun with me."

"Hua, don't, don't listen to his nonsense. I paid him back the money a long time ago." Juliana suddenly grabbed her clothes.

"Oh ho, it's still conscious? That thing doesn't seem to work as well as the legends say!"

Zhou Chunhua's eyes widened: "You... you drugged her?"

"I'm off, so what?" the tattooed man said with a disdainful look.

"What? You're just waiting to go to jail!"

"Heh heh heh! You think I'm easily scared? Get out of my way!"

The heavily tattooed arm pressed down on her shoulder, elbowing her, lifting her shoulder, turning her around, arching his back, tripping her, thrusting his waist...

A set of movements was executed smoothly and effortlessly.

As the pressure on his back increased, a man's terrified scream rang out from behind him.

With a thud, the tattooed man let out a howl and collapsed onto the sofa in an inverted "I" shape.

As the young punks rushed forward, the door to the private room was pushed open from the outside.

Upon seeing Uncle Hat at the door, the little blond boys immediately wilted.

"Are you alright?" Gu Yao rushed in, his usually impeccably tailored suit looking somewhat disheveled.

The coat was gone, the tie was gone, but the sleeves were still rolled up.

Zhou Chunhua handed over the hidden camera from her collar and displayed several charges against the tattooed man and the blond-haired gang.

"You actually still remember to bring this?" Gu Yao asked in surprise.

"It's not that I remembered to bring it, it's that I haven't had time to pick it yet. You forgot? You said you were careful to keep evidence when you met my ex-husband. I didn't expect it to come in handy here." It wasn't a waste of money, it really wasn't a waste of money.

Just like last time, Hao and Gu Yao ended up in jail together again.

Nana was taken to the hospital, while the tattooed man and the blond-haired guys received a silver bracelet.

After giving their statements and with high-definition video evidence, they were released quickly.

It was the same night, the same doorway.

The two looked into each other's eyes and smiled.

This time, however, she didn't wait for Gu Yao to speak; she opened the passenger door and got in herself.

"That fall was beautiful." Gu Yao took a bag of Oreos from somewhere and tossed it into her hand.

"Thanks."

Zhou Chunhua tore open the packaging bag, put one piece in her mouth, and put the other piece in Gu Yao's mouth.

The car drove directly to the hospital.

In the ward, Juliana had already woken up, with an IV drip still in her hand.

As soon as Zhou Chunhua entered the room, Zhu Lina said with a dazed look in her eyes.

"Sister Hua, you saved me again."

So, Zhu Lina received an IV drip all night, Zhou Chunhua stayed with Zhu Lina all night, and Gu Yao stayed with Zhou Chunhua all night.

They left the hospital together around 7 a.m.

Gu Yao drove the car, Zhou Chunhua sat in the passenger seat as usual, while Zhu Lina slept soundly the whole way.

When they went upstairs, Gu Yao helped them back.

She put Nana to bed, changed her clothes, covered her with a blanket, and came out to see Gu Yao busy in the kitchen.

Is she alright?

"Hmm. Maybe the alcohol hasn't completely worn off yet. It'll be fine once you wake up."

"I cooked porridge for you, made a cucumber salad, and there are also boiled eggs in the pot. Remember to eat them when you wake up." Gu Yao tidied up the table, washed his hands, and began to straighten his collar and cuffs.

It looks like they got up early, made breakfast, and were rushing off to work.

"Are you going to work?" Zhou Chunhua asked.

Gu Yao scratched his hair.

"At this hour, I can't sleep even if I go home. I might as well go straight to work."

Zhou Chunhua glanced at the time.

"Let's have breakfast together." With that, she opened the kitchen cabinet, took out a bowl, and went over.

Gu Yao looked down at her, and she handed him the bowl. He simply said, "Okay."

Then Gu Yaosheng made porridge, and she took some cucumber salad and boiled eggs, and they all sat down at the table.

Gu Yao handed her a spoon, and she handed him the peeled egg in return.

"It seems your best friend's methods for borrowing money are a bit unconventional. How about I handle it?"

Zhou Chunhua put down her spoon and asked with difficulty, "Isn't this troublesome?"

She also saw this problem from what happened last night.

Moreover, some of those who lent money to Nana inevitably harbored ill intentions towards her.

If you go by yourself, even if you return the money, you're bound to encounter situations where the price is increased on the spot.

"If you can't live with yourself, treat me to dinner later."

Zhou Chunhua looked over, but Gu Yao had his head down, so her expression was not visible.

But while the words sounded like a joke, the tone was very formal.

Just as I was wondering how to respond, he said, "Including the meal you owed me last time, you owe me two meals now."

Upon hearing this, Zhou Chunhua burst into laughter.

"Is it okay to eat at home? You know I'm very frugal and don't like to spend money."

"Okay," Gu Yao replied readily.

When Gu Yao left, Zhou Chunhua escorted him directly to the elevator and thanked him earnestly.

After all, given the situation last night, she wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed without Gu Yao.

Gu Yao merely raised the corners of his mouth slightly and elegantly pushed up his gold-rimmed glasses.

As the elevator doors closed and she turned to go back, she accidentally kicked the trash can next to the elevator doors.

After straightening the trash can, I looked up and saw that the elevator was stuck downstairs and not moving, and the progress display screen was also black.

Zhou Chunhua suddenly became confused.

"Could the elevator be broken?"

She pressed the elevator button, and the upward indicator light lit up, while the display screen showed an upward arrow.

At the same time, the elevator next to us was also moving upwards.

I didn't notice which floor that elevator came from just now.
