Just as Lin Su's fist was about to land on Gu Qingyan, the bodyguard rushed onto the rooftop and suddenly stopped Lin Su. Lin Su collapsed to her knees and let out a miserable scream.

As Gu Qingyan prepared to take Xiao Wanqing off the rooftop, Lin Su gritted her teeth and roared angrily from behind, "Xiao Wanqing, I will definitely kill you!"

Si Mingyu gave him a deep look, sighed helplessly, and walked towards the door of the rooftop.

Gu Qingyan handed Xiao Wanqing over to Huang Lin, who had just arrived, and said coldly, "Send Wanqing to the police station to turn herself in, and then contact Attorney Zhang."

Xiao Wanqing suddenly woke up and gripped Gu Qingyan's arm tightly. "Qingyan, I can't turn myself in. I killed someone, and I'll be sentenced."

“You should have thought about the consequences when you did it. It’s all my fault. I’ve been too lenient with you in the past.” Gu Qingyan suppressed his reluctance and forcefully pulled Xiao Wanqing’s hand away. “You can get a reduced sentence if you turn yourself in. I will also hire the best lawyer to try to reduce your sentence as much as possible, but you have to pay the price for your actions.”

After saying that, Gu Qingyan ordered the bodyguard next to him, "Take Miss Xiao to the police station. If she cries and refuses to go, we'll have to take her there even if we have to tie her up."

The bodyguard immediately took Xiao Wanqing away. Xiao Wanqing cried and refused to go, so the bodyguard simply picked her up and carried her away.

Looking at Gu Qingyan's pained expression, Si Mingyu calmly said, "This is something Miss Xiao has to face. You can't protect her forever."

Gu Qingyan didn't speak, his heart felt like it was being torn apart. He leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and said in a low voice, "I promised her brother that I would always protect her."

"Her brother died because he saved me. If it weren't for me, he would have protected her too. Tonight, sending her to the police station is the same as sending her to jail; her brother will hate me."

“Her brother should indeed hate you. It’s all because of your endless indulgence of her that she has become so unrepentant even after committing murder.” Si Mingyu stabbed him in the heart without any politeness.

Gu Qingyan frowned in pain, but could not refute it.

He suddenly turned and walked towards the stairs, each step feeling extremely heavy.

As soon as I got into the car, my phone rang.

"Hello, Dad," Gu Qingyan answered the phone, her voice weak.

"Qingyan, come back now." Gu Suian said, and then hung up the phone.

Half an hour later, when the car stopped in front of the villa, the inside was brightly lit.

"Young Master." The butler hurried over, opened the car door for him, and then said in a low voice, "Chairman Gu is very upset and is waiting for you in the living room."

Gu Qingyan nodded, his steps feeling as heavy as if they weighed a ton.

As soon as Gu Qingyan stepped into the living room, a document hit him squarely in the face with a "smack" and fell to the floor.

He looked down and saw that the divorce agreement he had torn to pieces had been pieced together again.

"No wonder Zhi Qiu doesn't want you! Look at yourself, what kind of behavior is this!" Gu Suian stood up angrily and pointed at Gu Qingyan, cursing.

Gu Qingyan stood there blankly, wearing a wrinkled suit and his shirt haphazardly open, staring at the glaring divorce papers, feeling utterly desolate.

"Since you don't care about Zhi Qiu anyway, you might as well just get a divorce. Why tear it up?" Mu Ziqi, sitting on the sofa, was furious as she looked at her son. "But the property division can't be done according to the rules. Zhi Qiu is asking for too little. She's been married to you for over three years and is pregnant with your child. It's too unfair to only get so little in the divorce settlement. If I were you, I'd give her more. Anyway, it's worth it for my grandson. I guess Zhi Qiu doesn't want to see you again. The child can take Zhi Qiu's surname, so she won't have to see the character 'Gu' every day!"

"Mom! Stop talking! I won't get a divorce! We've already found out that Zhi Qiu is in Rongcheng, it's only a matter of time before we find her." Gu Qingyan frowned. "You and Dad shouldn't interfere in our affairs."

"Hmph, I don't care about you, just look at the mess you've made! Before Xiao Wanqing returned to the country, our Gu family was harmonious and happy. Before your father and I went on our trip, Zhi Qiu was still my daughter-in-law. Now look what's happened, you've driven her away. I wish you would just get out of here and bring Zhi Qiu back! The thought of Zhi Qiu suffering alone out there makes my heart ache like it's being cut by a knife!" Mu Ziqi clutched her chest and took a deep breath.

"Look how angry you've made your mother! Since you know Zhi Qiu is in Rongcheng, go and find her there!" Gu Suian couldn't bear to see Mu Ziqi upset, so he quickly helped her calm down.

"Dad, there are still many things in Nancheng that I need to take care of." Gu Qingyan sighed.

“Even if Nancheng is busy, he still has plenty of time to deal with Xiao Wanqing’s affairs. What, you don’t have time when you go to Rongcheng?” Gu Suian glared at Gu Qingyan and shouted angrily.

Gu Qingyan lowered his head and pursed his lips. "Dad, Wanqing had some trouble tonight. I need to stay in Nancheng to keep an eye on her."

"Wanqing, Wanqing, Wanqing! Gu Qingyan! Who exactly is your wife?! Leave Xiao Wanqing's matter to Huang Lin. If you don't bring Zhi Qiu back, you don't need to come back." Gu Suian made the final decision, not giving him a chance to argue, and helped Mu Ziqi upstairs.

"How much suffering must Zhi Qiu endure out there? I can't sleep every night when I think about it!" Mu Ziqi said, wiping away tears as she walked.

Gu Qingyan sighed and walked towards the door.

The next day, at Chengdu Airport.

“Mr. Gu, what a coincidence! It’s fate that we met on the flight. Would you do me the honor of having dinner together? We can also discuss the cooperation plan for that piece of land in the western suburbs.” A man in a suit followed Gu Qingyan closely after getting off the plane, speaking with a fawning expression.
