At this moment, the emotions that had been accumulating for many days suddenly reached a peak.

I warned myself countless times to stay calm, but I couldn't suppress the raging fire in my heart that was about to erupt.

Whoever touches it will be burned to ashes.

The paranoid desire emerges again——

Qin Hezhou clenched his fists and secretly made up his mind that he would just wait until the birthday party.

From then on, no one could separate them, not even Pei Zhiyu himself.

He exuded a sinister aura.

If anyone pushed the door open now, they would probably freeze to death on the spot.

However, Pei Zhiyu, who had already washed up and was preparing to go to bed in the hospital, was unaware of all this.

She tossed and turned in bed, unable to fall asleep. Whenever she closed her eyes, she would think of someone.

Like a nightmare.

But to be more precise, it should be the inner demon transformed from obsession.

As if possessed by some mysterious force, she groped for her cell phone in the dark, and this time she sent the message without hesitation.

Qin Hezhou hadn't slept at all.

When he saw the message pop-up, he was numbly operating the coffee machine at home, which was not working well.

Whenever he felt irritated, he liked to drink coffee non-stop, and at one point he almost had a heart attack due to drinking so much.

He had just finished processing the powder extractor and hadn't plugged it in when Pei Zhiyu's name suddenly popped up on his phone.

"Bang—"

The machine was knocked to the ground and made a loud noise, just like the sound of Qin Hezhou's heartbeat after seeing the news.

Pei Zhiyu sent:

I want to see you.

These four words lingered in his heart, just as he was overwhelmed by the surprise and was thinking about how to respond.

The message was withdrawn...

"What do you mean?" He wondered, his hands faster than his mouth, and he subconsciously typed out a question mark.

Qin Hezhou: [? 】

Pei Zhiyu: [Remember to be ready to pick me up.]

Pei Zhiyu: [Also, could you tell your bodyguard to stop following me?]

“…”That’s it?

The story took a completely different turn than Qin Hezhou expected.

Pei Zhiyu was not angry about the question mark, and she also kept silent about the words that the other party had just withdrawn.

Qin Hezhou stubbornly asked: [What are you withdrawing? ]

The message fell into oblivion and there was no response.

As time passed, the water stains on the ground were almost dry. He finally chose to compromise and answered honestly:

【I will pick you up on time. 】

"The bodyguards can't be withdrawn yet. I know what happened to Fu Yan today. He usually only shows up in special circumstances like this, and it won't affect your life normally."

Pei Zhiyu: [Why did you send someone to follow me? ]

Qin Hezhou did not respond immediately.

In the pitch-black lounge, Pei Zhiyu suddenly thought of something and sat up abruptly from the bed.

She didn't turn on the light, but in the dim light from the phone screen, one could vaguely see a hint of surprise flash in her eyes.

A guess came to my mind.

The next second, Qin Hezhou's message came, which just confirmed Pei Zhiyu's guess.

[Qin Yu, he's still ruthless. He can't do it to me, so he wants to do it to you.]

"I'll feel more at ease if I let the bodyguard follow you. He'll leave naturally after I've dealt with Qin Yu."

Pei Zhiyu: [Is Qin Yu also involved in Cheng Xiuqi's kidnapping?]

She had almost made up her mind, but still wanted to hear Qin Hezhou's direct answer.

It seems that he wants to use this to see whether the other party's repentance is firm enough.

Fortunately, Qin Hezhou honestly told Pei Zhiyu everything he knew.

This added a lot to his score.

+1000 points!

Pei Zhiyu thought about it again and again, and finally agreed. After all, she had experienced the lessons learned from the past. She had been cheated by Qin Yu more than once or twice.

I met the bodyguard today. He is very powerful and loyal enough. At least everyone can feel more at ease with him around.

From what Qin Hezhou said just now, it was clear from everything he said that he had a plan in place.

Pei Zhiyu was still a little angry about his concealment, but he could not deny what he had done for her.

After Qin Hezhou cleaned up the coffee machine, he had no appetite for coffee after what happened and felt sleepy for no apparent reason.

He washed up and prepared to go to bed.

Pei Zhiyu's instructions flashed through his mind, so he got up and added a few alarms just in case.

But I accidentally caught a glimpse of a message.

It was sent while he was taking a shower. Pei Zhiyu only said two words: "Thank you."

Qin Hezhou held his phone and read these two simple words over and over again.

It's like you can see flowers.

Then he hummed casually and fell asleep with his phone in his arms.

The next day.

Qin Hezhou has been busy eliminating the secret agents Qin Zhenghao has planted in the group recently, and he has hardly stopped all day.

As usual, he was busy until late at night before he was ready to go home.

When he stood up, the assistant who had been waiting outside for a long time dared to knock on the door and ask, "Boss Qin, someone from the Lin Group is here and wants to see you."

"Lin?" Qin Hezhou's eyes narrowed.

Isn't that the company left behind by Pei Zhiyu's grandfather Lin Yuanliang... and now controlled by her inhumane father Pei Guangyuan?

He actually came to me on his own initiative?

He threw his coat casually on the sofa, without looking back, and nodded: "Let him in."

The man walked in tremblingly, and when he saw Qin Hezhou, he looked as if he had seen a man-eating beast.

No one spoke, and the scene was extremely silent for a moment.

Qin Hezhou said coldly: "Why don't you introduce yourself?"

"Ah, sorry, sorry." He was so frightened that he repeatedly bowed 90 degrees and whispered, "Hello, Mr. Qin, I'm Yu Yan, assistant to Pei Guangyuan, the current CEO of Lin Group."

"Well, then what?" Qin Hezhou rubbed his eyebrows and said impatiently.

Assistant Yu hurriedly pulled the invitation out of his pocket and handed it over respectfully. "Mr. Pei's birthday is in a few days, and he really wants to invite you to the birthday party. If you don't mind..."

"Heh." Qin Hezhou's sneer really scared the other party.

He fell silent instantly, waiting for Qin Hezhou's next words, not daring to move.

I was afraid that I would accidentally offend this big guy, and I was afraid that I would come in upright and leave sideways today.

"Invite me to the birthday party?"

Qin Hezhou looked at the eye-catching red invitation. His tone dropped, becoming even more frightening.

"I've never even heard of this person, yet you invite me to your birthday party. What's your boss thinking?"
