Wu Xiaoxiao was terrified, her face turning deathly pale.

With a dark expression, Gu Chenge unplugged the hidden camera. When he turned to look at Wu Xiaoxiao, the frost on his face disappeared, and he gently comforted her, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."

Wu Xiaoxiao looked up at him and nodded slightly.

They're from the Wu family!

She didn't know when the surveillance camera was installed. Although it was only in the living room, the thought of someone secretly watching her gave her goosebumps and chills.

If Gu Chenge hadn't been standing in front of her, she would have already fled.

Seeing that she was frightened, Gu Chenge was even more worried about her. "Xiaoxiao, go pack your luggage and come stay at my place for now."

Wu Xiaoxiao was stunned. Live with him? Cohabitate?

“Honey, I’m worried about you living here alone.” Fearing she would refuse, Gu Chenge added earnestly, “My house is very safe, strangers can’t get in. Don’t worry, I can continue to stay in the hotel.”

Wu Xiaoxiao suddenly asked, "Didn't you say you didn't have a place to stay on Yezhou Island?"

A hint of guilt flashed in Gu Chenge's eyes: "I didn't stay there, does that count?"

Wu Xiaoxiao: "..."

Worried that she would be angry, Gu Chenge quickly explained, "Xiaoxiao, my maternal grandparents' family lives here. My workplace is relatively close to here. I usually come to visit them when I have a day or two off. But my maternal grandparents' family is quite large, and I want to have some private space, so I bought a house. However, after it was renovated, I haven't lived there for a single day."

It's all that guy Ji Mo Xun's fault. I asked him to keep an eye on things, but he leaked the secret to the outside world.

His maternal grandfather, like a playful old man, refused to let him live alone and even assigned a servant to clean regularly. If he found out that his grandfather had moved in, his grandfather would throw him a grand matchmaking event...

His grandfather was a man of his word, so Gu Chenge dared not go and live there.

So over the years, he has either lived at home in Jimo or stayed in hotels.

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't quite understand: "Why are your family members so worried that you won't be able to find a partner?"

"Maybe it's because I'm surrounded by men?"

Gu Chenge shrugged, indicating that it wasn't important. He took out his phone to make a call and said to her at the same time, "You go inside and pack your luggage first. I'll make a call and have someone get rid of the little bugs downstairs."

Wu Xiaoxiao didn't realize it at first, but after hearing the contents of his phone call, she realized that someone was also watching downstairs in the apartment building.

Her expression suddenly changed, and she hurried into the bedroom.

This was Wu Xiaoxiao's temporary accommodation. She didn't have much stuff to begin with, and after about ten minutes, she came out with her suitcase.

"If we go out like this, won't we be followed?" Anyone with eyes could see that she was going to move.

Hearing this, Gu Chenge patted her head and said, "Don't worry, we'll go out after it's clean downstairs."

Wu Xiaoxiao responded with an "oh," feeling a little uncomfortable with his touch. She walked to the water dispenser, turned back, and asked, "Do you want some water?"

Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow: "Knowing that someone has been in here, aren't you afraid that something was added to the water?"

Wu Xiaoxiao's face paled, and she subconsciously took two steps back.

It's as if the water dispenser is some kind of monster.

Gu Chenge couldn't help but smile when she found her so amusing.

Hearing the laughter, Wu Xiaoxiao turned to look at him incredulously, as if questioning how he could laugh.

Seeing this, Gu Chenge's smile deepened, and he reached for a cup to fill with water.

Wu Xiaoxiao reached out to stop him.

"It's alright, the water hasn't been touched," Gu Chenge said with a smile.

How did you know?

“Anything a person drinks can be detected. Wu Lihong wouldn’t be stupid enough to leave you evidence so you can sue him.”

After hearing his explanation, Wu Xiaoxiao frowned deeply: "You deliberately scared me before?"

Gu Chenge raised an eyebrow and said seriously, "No, I just hope that when you live alone, you won't overlook any details and will maintain the necessary awareness of vigilance."

Wu Xiaoxiao's eyes flickered. He suggested that she move in with him, but he really didn't want to live with her?

Suddenly, she deliberately said, "Then don't drink it, what if they spit on it?"

Gu Chenge's lips twitched twice.

He said that, and he wasn't thirsty at all anymore.

???

After driving for half an hour, Ding Muyun grew impatient and asked, "How much longer until we arrive?"

"We'll be there soon..."

Before Wu Lizhen could finish speaking, her phone suddenly rang.

She answered the phone immediately upon seeing the caller ID.

A panicked male voice came from the phone: "Miss, please don't come over now! Something's happened! Please don't come!"

Wu Lizhen's expression changed: "What happened?"

Ding Muyun's expression changed instantly, her eyes fixed on Wu Lizhen.

The man on the phone was breathing heavily, as if he was running while making the call, "We, phew, we've been found out... damn it!"

The call has ended.

Wu Lizhen slammed on the brakes.

Caught off guard, Ding Muyun leaned forward and almost hit her head. She said irritably, "What are you doing?"

Wu Lizhen kept her eyes fixed ahead.

Ding Muyun followed her gaze and saw a man being pinned to the ground by two other men.

"Those are your people?"

"Um."

Upon hearing this, Ding Muyun excitedly asked, "Is Gu Chenge nearby?"

"It's in the residential area just ahead," Wu Lizhen pointed out the direction.

Ding Muyun immediately opened the car door, got out, and walked towards the residential area.

She desperately wants to find Gu Chenge and tell him how she feels. She has been searching for him for a long time since they parted ways in the mountains.

"Wait for me." Wu Lizhen followed closely behind her.

Ding Muyun walked all the way to the entrance of the residential area.

"Open the door," she commanded the security guard.

The security guard at the gate almost laughed in anger. Suddenly, Wu Lizhen ran over, took out a wad of cash from her bag, and stuffed it through the window.

"Please open the door, we're here to catch someone in the act."

"..."

The security guard at the entrance sized them up and asked, "Miss, what's your boyfriend's name? What does he look like?"

Ding Muyun smiled when she heard the word 'boyfriend'.

She recalled Gu Chenge's appearance and said, "His name is Gu Chenge. He's very handsome, even more handsome than the movie star Mu Liangzhou. He's about 185 cm tall..."

Before she could finish speaking, the security guard at the door sneered, "We don't have anyone like that here!"

Then the window slammed shut.

Ding Muyun was completely stunned.

Wu Lizhen didn't understand what was going on either.

The next second, the window opened, and the money Wu Lizhen had stuffed in was thrown out.

Wu Lizhen never expected that a community security guard would be so ungrateful.

"you--"

Wu Lizhen glared at the security guard, then suddenly noticed a poster of Mu Liangzhou on the wall behind him.

In an instant, Wu Lizhen seemed to understand why the security guard had suddenly become angry.

After regaining her senses, Ding Muyun assumed the security guard thought the money was too little, so she called out, "Open the door, I'll give you ten thousand!"

Just then, a few people walked by from behind.

Upon hearing this, one of the older women asked with a smile, "Young lady, do you want to enter this residential area?"

Ding Muyun turned around, squinted at the older woman, and asked, "Can you take me in?"
