Chapter 23 Chapter 23 Your nightmare is over

"no!"

As soon as Nguyen Chao finished speaking, Gu Xingyan denied it very quickly.

He uttered these two words almost hastily.

His eyes were shining, and there was a faint redness at the base of his ears, which was gradually spreading upwards.

He emphasized his tone and repeated it again, as if he was telling Nguyen Chao, or as if he was warning himself.

"I didn’t."

Ruan Chao had just asked casually, but seeing his big reaction, his doubts inevitably deepened.

He deliberately moved closer to Gu Xingyan, staring at him with his light eyes without blinking, trying to find a hint of flaw in his expression.

At first, Gu Xingyan was able to remain calm and look Ruan Chao in the eye. However, when he saw his own figure clearly reflected in the boy's pupils, he didn't know what he thought of. His breathing paused for a moment and he turned his head away in panic.

In the eyes of the Nguyen Dynasty, it looked like a guilty conscience after doing something bad.

He sneered.

He just knew it.

Gu Xingyan, who has something to hide, will definitely be defeated under his righteous gaze.

Nguyen Dynasty reasonable guess.

Gu Xingyan hated him and disliked him, but he couldn't do anything to him, so he could only attack his clothes.

Maybe his clothes had been cut into pieces by Gu Xingyan, or even burned.

Nguyen retreated to his original position and pretended to believe him.

"Since you say no, I'll just believe you for now."

"I'm free now anyway, so I'll go home with you to get it back."

After saying this, he deliberately observed Gu Xingyan's reaction.

Seeing the boy's slightly hesitant look, he blinked his eyelashes and asked casually, "My clothes should be intact, right?"

Gu Xingyan: "...I washed it and put it away."

Ruan Chao narrowed his eyes and said, "You are quite considerate then." I hope it is true as you said.

He took out his cell phone and called the driver, asking him to go back first and not to wait for him.

Gu Xingyan opened his lips, unable to find a suitable reason to refuse.

I could only leave Ruan Chao alone and go home with him.

The two of them didn't talk much along the way.

Nguyen Chao also deliberately kept a distance of two or three meters from him. Even if Gu Xingyan deliberately slowed down his pace and wanted to wait for him, Nguyen Chao would pretend not to see it and slow down his pace as well.

Just don't walk side by side with him, just draw a clear line between you and him!

Ruan Chao felt that his plot was almost over, and he just had to wait for Gu Xingyan to regain his identity and then take revenge on him.

So during this period of time, there is no need to contact him again.

It's just annoying for no reason.

The alley was very quiet, and the only sound was the footsteps of two people, one in front and one behind.

Ruan Chao stepped on the mottled white line on the ground with his front foot, and then stepped on another one with his back foot, childishly playing a game where he would "die" if he didn't step on the white line.

Strictly speaking, this is not an alley, but more like an abandoned road.

Occasionally there are vehicles passing through.

Hearing the shrill sound of a whistle behind him, Ruan moved to the side to make room for it to pass.

But the horn continued to sound, as if it wanted to use up all the horns in its life... Ruan Chao's ears hurt from the noise, so he turned around to look back.

It was a white car that had just turned from another road and was about a hundred or eighty meters away from them.

Nguyen Chao moved a little closer to the road, stopped and waited for the car to pass by.

The white car was getting closer.

Eighty meters, fifty meters, thirty meters...

It showed no sign of slowing down and rushed straight towards the two people.

Ruan Chao's pupils suddenly contracted.

I heard the system in the sea of ​​consciousness shouting anxiously.

【Get out of the way!!!】

Someone grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.

The white car ran over the place where Ruan Chao had just been, then turned around and drove towards the two of them again.

It was obvious that the car was not out of control, nor did it have a brake problem. Instead, it had targeted the two of them and was determined not to stop until it hit them.

Gu Xingyan also realized that something was wrong.

Grab Nguyen Chao and run forward.

The road seemed to stretch endlessly, with long blue-gray walls on both sides covered with slippery green moss.

There was no place to hide in such a short time.

Nguyen Chao turned around and saw a car rushing towards them.

"Is he crazy? Why is he chasing us?"

No one could answer his doubts.

Gu Xingyan grabbed his wrist and pulled him to narrowly avoid the collision again.

This time the white car hit a wall on one side, and the front of the car fell into a hole the size of a basketball, and the engine was constantly emitting black smoke.

However, even so, he still did not give up the intention of bumping into people.

The driver turned the steering wheel and rushed towards the two again.

…

Through the car window, Gu Xingyan saw the driver's face.

Ordinary, strange, no impression at all.

Blood flowed down from the wound on his forehead, soon blurring his entire face.

Those blood-red eyes stared at him, filled with hatred and despair, as if they wanted to drag him to hell.

A certain thought suddenly came to Gu Xingyan's mind, and he let go of Ruan Chao's hand that was tightly holding on.

He said in a deep voice: "Run separately."

Nguyen Chao had no time to think and instinctively felt that this was the best way he could think of at the moment.

At least we can successfully save one person.

The system sounded again.

【Chao Chao, listen to him and run back.】

[This car is for Gu Xingyan. Staying with him will only hinder you.]

Ruan Chao: […What about Gu Xingyan? ]

System: [He has the protagonist's aura, he will not die. ]

The system is very sure.

In a panic, the Nguyen Dynasty could only listen to the system.

What's more, if he stayed with Gu Xingyan, Gu Xingyan would have to take care of him.

Not only can he not do anything, but it can also easily hold him back.

Ruan Chao had just run a dozen meters when he heard a loud noise behind him.

He didn't even dare to look back for a moment.

Afraid of seeing Gu Xingyan’s bloody appearance.

His body froze in place, and his fingers trembled unconsciously.

The whole world seemed to start spinning and turned into swirling, mottled fragments.

It was the traces of vehicles dragging on the road, the bright bloodstains winding on the road, the overly glaring sunlight at noon, and the zebra crossing that he had climbed for a long time to reach...

He seemed to be thinking of many things in an instant, but also seemed to be thinking of nothing, his mind was blank.

After a long time, he took a deep breath.

"Nguyen Dynasty."

Someone called his name.

"How are you? Are you hurt?"

The other party walked quickly to him, looked him up and down nervously, and was relieved when he saw that he was fine without any injuries on his body.

However, the next second his heart was lifted again.

Because of the Nguyen Dynasty, something seems wrong.

His face was as pale as paper, without a trace of blood. Fine beads of cold sweat oozed from the corners of his forehead, sticking the hair on the side of his face.

There was still a trace of panic and fear in his pupils, staring at him blankly.

"Nguyen Dynasty...?"

Gu Xingyan was afraid of scaring him, so he lowered his voice intentionally.

Then she raised her hand and waved it gently in front of his eyes.

Nguyen Chao's vision gradually came into focus and he grabbed his fingers.

Then he bent down and vomited as if he couldn't control himself.

The scene just now reminded him of the car accident he had encountered before.

The shadow left by death was much stronger than he had imagined.

He couldn't control his stress reaction.

…

The white car stepped on the accelerator and wanted to hit Gu Xingyan, but he didn't expect that he was dodged at the last moment. The driver was unable to turn around and crashed directly into the wall.

This collision was obviously much more severe than the last one.

The entire upper body of the car was dented.

I don't know whether the people inside are dead or alive.

Gu Xingyan called the police.

The police arrived at the scene quickly and set up a cordon.

The two were asked to take statements.

It was not until midnight that Nguyen Chao returned home.

He lay in bed, and as soon as he closed his eyes, he would have nightmares.

They were all scenes of that car chasing and crashing into Gu Xingyan.

The only person who could do such a thing is the fake young master of the Xiang family, Xiang Zhijian.

Is it because he is afraid that Gu Xingyan's existence will be discovered by the Xiang family sooner or later, which will affect his position, so he has to take action in advance to get rid of him once and for all?

Gu Xingyan was lucky enough to escape this time, but what about next time? And the next time?

Maybe just as the system said, Gu Xingyan has the aura of the protagonist and will not die.

But he always gets hurt.

Ruan Chao sat up from the bed.

[System, how long will it take for the Xiang family to find out that Gu Xingyan is their child? ]

The system flipped through the unlocked plot and answered in a serious tone: [In about a week, the news that Xiang Zhijian hired a murderer will be discovered by the Xiang family. The Xiang family will follow the clues and find Gu Xingyan, who looks very similar to Xiang's wife, and then go for a paternity test.]

[No, it's been too long.]

Thinking that Xiang Zhijian, that madman, might very likely try to kill Gu Xingyan again, Ruan Chao couldn't wait even a day.

【Let's help Gu Xingyan. 】

System: […How can I help? ]

Nguyen Chao wanted to skip all the previous steps and go directly to the last step.

[Go and make a paternity certificate and send it to the Xiang family.]

【Remember to send it to each of them, except Xiang Zhijian.】

Prevent him from doing something desperate.

The system hesitated: [Chao Chao, is this really feasible? ]

[The only difficulty is getting the contact information of the Xiang family.]

But this is precisely the simplest thing for the system.

There is no artificial intelligence in the world that can match the hacking skills of the system.

[When sending the paternity certificate, don’t forget to include a photo of Gu Xingyan.] To increase credibility and prevent the Xiang family from thinking that someone was playing a prank.

The system still hesitated: "But there is a rule in the employee code that... we are not allowed to influence the development of the plot."

Ruan Chao: [How can this be considered an influence? At most, it has given a push to the development of the plot. Besides, isn’t our job as a tool to push the plot forward?]

The roundabout words successfully confused the system.

It quickly photoshopped a paternity certificate, attached a photo of Gu Xingyan, and sent it to the Xiang family.

The Xiang family members had different reactions, but without exception they were all full of doubts and questions.

Some people even cursed him and sent him a lot of dirty words, telling the rumormongers to die.

Ruan Chao did not reply to any of the messages and directly cancelled the account created by the system.

He flipped through his phone and saw that Gu Xingyan had sent him many messages.

They were all words of concern.

Ask him if he is okay, care about whether his mood is better now, tell him not to be afraid, and if he feels uncomfortable, do not force it, and tell his family immediately.

[The police said that the driver had not been drinking and had no sudden illness, and it was very likely that he was simply seeking revenge against society.]

[This is an extremely low probability event, and you will never encounter it again. ]

…

[I'm sorry, I shouldn't have let you go home with me.]

Gu Xingyan felt that it was because of him that the Nguyen Dynasty was in danger.

Some self-blame.

This was followed by three consecutive unanswered voice calls.

There are also a few voice messages.

【Are you asleep? 】

As expected, there was no response.

Gu Xingyan continued to post messages on his own.

【Good night, then.】

【Have a sweet dream. 】

【See you tomorrow.】

…

Nguyen lowered his head.

The long eyelashes left a semi-fan-shaped shadow under the eyelids, covering up the complex emotions in the eyes.

After a pause, he typed a reply, "Good night."

Gu Xingyan, your nightmare is over.

No more working until 3am every day just to pay off your debts.

No more having to eat those hard-as-stone dry biscuits to fill your stomach.

No more, you have to listen to my orders and be bullied by me.

You will have a great future.
