Shangguan Wu looked at him: "Yes, I was terrified at the time. The black bear was bleeding so much blood that it attracted all the carnivores nearby. They ate the meat voraciously and quickly devoured half of the black bear..."

The mercenary, seeing the beautiful woman staring at him intently, listened even more intently.

The beautiful woman was stunningly pretty and had a lovely voice. The mercenary became increasingly captivated as he listened, his eyes gradually becoming unfocused.

Suddenly, Shangguan Wu changed the subject: "Tell me, if you were surrounded by that pack of wolves and wild boars, could you survive?"

The mercenary thought for a moment, then shook his head: "No."

Shangguan Wu then asked, "So how many bites do you think your meat would be enough for a pack of wolves to eat?"

The mercenary imagined the scene and trembled with fear.

"No, don't eat me..."

The mercenary stumbled backward and fell to the ground with a thud, face down.

Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly; it really hurt.

She snapped her fingers: "What's your name?"

The mercenary replied, "Michael."

Shangguan Wu then asked him, "What is your purpose in coming into the mountains?"

Michael shook his head at first, then hesitated and said, "It seems to be about finding a woman named Shangguan Wu and killing her. I overheard the boss talking."

Upon hearing this, Gu Yunzhen's dark eyes turned icy cold, and a powerful and intimidating aura emanated from her, looming over Michael's head.

Michael felt as if an invisible mountain was pressing down on him, making it hard for him to breathe, and his veins bulged.

Within seconds, cold sweat poured down Michael's forehead.

As soon as Shangguan Wu touched Gu Yunzhen's hand, Gu Yunzhen firmly grasped it in her palm.

She smiled, pulled him closer with both hands, and as his body leaned towards her, she pressed herself against him and whispered earnestly, "Honey, I'm fine now, and I'll live a fine life from now on. We'll live to be a hundred together!"

Gu Yunzhen stared at her intently, then suddenly reached out and pulled her onto his lap, holding her tightly in his arms.

He almost lost her!

Gu Yunzhen lowered his head and buried his face in her neck.

Shangguan Wu sensed his emotions and reached out to pat his head to comfort him: "Honey, be good. I'll ask you two more questions, then we'll go back to the big tent."

After saying that, she looked at Michael and asked, "Who hired you to kill Shangguan Wu?"

Michael shook his head: "I don't know, I didn't hear it. Our team's captain takes on the jobs, and we just need to follow him."

Shangguan Wu asked one last question: "Among those four people, is your captain?"

Michael nodded: "Yes! Our captain hasn't said a word."

Shangguan Wu narrowed her eyes, which seemed a bit illogical.

If that hypnotist were the team leader, he should have hypnotized these people to make them obey orders and keep the secret.

“Your captain…”

Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, Gu Yunzhen picked her up and stood up, saying, "Both questions have been asked."

After saying that, he picked her up and strode out of the tent.

Shangguan Wu blinked.

Gu Yunzhen carried her all the way into the large tent and laid her down on the inflatable bed.

"eleven!"

He walked to the entrance of the large tent and called out.

Gu Shiyi hurriedly ran out of a tent.

"Fourth Young Master, what are your orders?"

"Arrange a helicopter to return to the garden immediately!" Gu Yunzhen ordered sternly.

Gu Shiyi stiffened and respectfully replied, "Yes, Fourth Young Master, please wait a moment, I will make the arrangements right away."

When Shangguan Wu heard him mention returning to the garden, she sat up and called out to him, "Husband!"

Gu Yunzhen immediately went into the tent and strode towards her: "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"

Shangguan Wu collapsed onto the inflatable bed.

"The matter here isn't resolved yet, why are you in such a hurry to leave?" She felt something was off; with his intelligence, he shouldn't have missed it.

Gu Yunzhen reached out, but Shangguan Wu rolled from the edge of the inflatable bed to the innermost part, avoiding his touch.

Gu Yunzhen's eyes darkened.

"Their target is you. If someone hates you to the core and there are funds being transferred, we can find out by going back and investigating. There's no need to waste time."

After analyzing the situation, he beckoned to her with his finger: "Come here."

Now that he put it that way, it seems pretty simple.

Shangguan Wu blinked twice, her long eyelashes trembling slightly: "But his captain has a problem. Don't you want to know about that hypnosis organization?"

She slept for so long, he must have seen the notebook.

Doesn't he have any curiosity or ideas at all?

Shangguan Wu did not move.

Gu Yunzhen's deep and gentle gaze remained fixed on her.

Gradually, Shangguan Wu couldn't hold on any longer and obediently rolled towards him.

In an instant, Gu Yunzhen braced his hands on either side of her head, one foot still on the ground, the other bent with his knee against the inflatable bed, easily trapping her beneath him.

Shangguan Wu's beautiful eyes widened.

Really?

Would he do something reckless at this time?

She looked at him nervously yet with a hint of excitement.

As his handsome face gradually magnified and filled her entire field of vision, she suddenly closed her eyes.

A few seconds passed.

His warm breath tickled her heart, but the passionate kiss she had imagined didn't come. She pouted slightly, but his lips didn't touch hers.

Gu Yunzhen chuckled in a deep voice, his gloomy mood brightening after seeing her adorable request for a kiss.

Shangguan Wu suddenly opened his eyes.

"What are you laughing at..."

Before she could utter the word "me," he swallowed it.

His kiss was hot and fierce, as if he wanted to devour her whole.
