Gan Tang's tense nerves relaxed, and she sat down to look at her wound.
What is he trying to do?
"It hurts, it hurts..." Cao Yunbo made a fake groan and continued, "Mo Huaixing, in order to make me leave you, blocked the apartment door and threatened and beat me."
Since he's already taken action, things must be really bad. Gan Tang suddenly realized, "Yun Bo, you should leave. Leave tonight."
Cao Yunbo looked up in surprise, then angrily retorted, "So it was you who sent him! Did you think that if he gave me a million, I would abandon you to your fate and let you marry the Poison Demon for a mere million?"
As he spoke, he angrily threw the bank card on the ground.
"No, no! I wanted you to leave first, and then I would come to find you."
Gan Tang slowly revealed her plan.
"Chu Jiahe has a tidal power generation test site in M country. It won't be difficult for him to take me there under the pretext of a project. You go first, and we'll meet up in M country, then live in anonymity for the rest of our lives."
Cao Yunbo warned, "Tangtang, don't be impulsive. Lu Zhengqian's influence is all over the world. He might not be as safe abroad as he is at home."
What he said was exactly what Gan Tang was worried about.
"But the world is so big, I don't believe there's no place he can't find." The thought of marrying a poisoner made Gan Tang feel like she was dying.
“But I can’t let you take that risk!” Cao Yunbo held Gan Tang’s hand tenderly. “There must be other, safer ways. Hmm, since Lu Zhengqian is involved in drug trafficking, he must have evidence. As long as we find the evidence…”
"Are you going to hand him over to the police?" Gan Tang interrupted him hastily. Gan Tang had considered finding evidence to bring Lu Zhengqian to justice, but she didn't know which to choose between that vague sense of justice and her father who was so good to her.
Even more importantly, the risk is too great.
“The police need time to investigate, and in that time, Lu Zhengqian could kill you and me.”
"No!" Cao Yunbo reassured the flustered Gan Tang. "I mean, we'll use it for self-defense. As long as we have evidence against Lu Zhengqian, he won't dare to touch us."
"It's impossible to find him." Gan Tang shook her head. How could Lu Zhengqian's life and fortune be found so easily?
"Why not? Think about it carefully." Cao Yunbo tried to guide Gan Tang, pointing out what He Zhong had confirmed: "Such an important thing would definitely not be kept in the company, but rather by the side of the person he considers safest and most important. You are his closest person, if you don't know, who else would?"
I know?
Jian Suhuai!?
She still remembered that when they first arrived at Yuanhuai Manor, Lu Zhengqian led her to the East Building, which was connected to the main building by a ladder. Inside was Jian Suhuai's coffin, a real crystal coffin, containing not ashes but her complete corpse.
A nanmu wood box with gold thread lay in front of the coffin, never opened. Could it contain Lu Zhengqian's most precious possession?
Cao Yunbo grasped Gan Tang's shoulders and said, "Tang Tang, this is our only hope."
Yes, he can't escape it unless he has something to control him.
Even if she dared to gamble, she wouldn't dare gamble on this man who was willing to risk his life to protect her. Gan Tang looked at Cao Yunbo and slowly nodded: "I'll give it a try!"
Even if it's discovered, it won't implicate Cao Yunbo.
After making her decision, Gan Tang urged Cao Yunbo again: "You should leave first. I'm afraid Lu Zhengqian will find out about you."
"I'm not leaving!"
"Get out!"
"..."
After arguing for a long time, Cao Yunbo finally said, "Okay, I'll leave first. I'll come back once I'm sure it's safe. I'm worried about you leaving with those things. You'll only be safe if you and your belongings are kept separate."
"good!"
By tomorrow, she would know whether Lu Zhengqian had really discovered Cao Yunbo. There was still time. Gan Tang nodded in agreement.
Without hesitation, Gan Tang went to the refrigerator to get him some bread, and because it was too cold, she heated up a bag of milk as well.
"Have something to eat first, and I'll help you pack your luggage."
"Pack your luggage?" Cao Yunbo almost choked. She would definitely take toiletries when she packed her luggage, but Lü Jiao was still in the bathroom.
"Tangtang!" Seeing that Gantang had taken out her clothes and was about to go to the bathroom, Cao Yunbo hurriedly called out to her, "You'd better leave quickly, it's not safe to stay outside for so long."
"It's alright to stay a little longer. How are you going to pack your things looking like this?" Gan Tang said as she walked towards the bathroom.
"Tangtang!" Cao Yunbo's heart jumped into his throat, and he tried his best to suppress it as he said, "Go buy me some medicine, my leg hurts."
"good!"
Gan Tang originally planned to go out with him to buy medicine while taking a taxi, but after hearing him mention this, she felt it would be better to bandage him up again before letting him leave.
Gan Tang stepped out under the streetlights, the wind blowing into her nostrils, making her nose feel sore.
"Mo Huaixing, you bastard. You can hit me a couple of times if you want, but how could you use a knife? It hurts so much walking like this!"
There was a 24-hour pharmacy in the apartment building, and Gan Tang used all of her few hundred yuan to buy medicine and bandages. On her way back, she turned and went to the property management office.
Although it was 2 a.m., the property management of the upscale apartment building had staff on duty at night.
Gan Tang knocked on the door and went in: "Hello, I'd like to ask how much the rent is for this apartment, and how much I can get back if I terminate the lease?"
Ever since she learned that Lu Zhengqian's money came from drug trafficking, she hasn't spent a single penny except in special circumstances. Although this behavior seems pretentious, she feels that every penny saved is a penny earned.
Now that they're leaving, she can't take any more of Lu Zhengqian's money. So she thought she'd return as much as she could.
The guard, a young man, politely asked, "Madam, which apartment did you rent?"
"Oh, I was just asking." Most of the apartments were dark, with only a few lights on. Gan Tang pointed to Cao Yunbo's apartment and asked, "How much is that?"
"That's a 50-square-meter apartment, and it costs 15,000 yuan a month to rent, with a deposit of one month's rent and three months' rent paid upfront. It's not worth it for you to ask for a refund; they'll deduct 50% of the deposit and rent."
"So many?"
When she rented the apartment that day, she was so focused on whether there were any familiar faces in the building that she didn't hear the rent details clearly. The property management staff thought she was complaining about the high rent and quickly said, "It was all stated in the contract when you signed it."
"I see!"
Yunbo's monthly salary is only eight thousand, how could he have so much money? But time was of the essence, and Gantang didn't think too much about it. She returned to the apartment, helped Cao Yunbo pack his luggage, and helped him to hail a taxi. Afterward, she secretly rushed back to Yuanhuai Villa.
Before Gantang returned to Yuanhuai Manor, Ali received a message from Lü Jiao.
The message was brief and clear: the two wanted to steal evidence of the Lu Group's drug trafficking activities and hand it over to the police before heading to Country M.
Ali broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly made a phone call to verify the details. Although he walked very quietly, Lu Zhengqian, who was not yet asleep, opened his eyes.
