Gu Qingqing was hungry, so Fu Jue instructed the kitchen to prepare dinner. The two of them had a candlelight dinner together, which was quite romantic.
As evening approached, the setting sun painted the sky a fiery red, a sight so beautiful it was impossible to look away.
"Master Fu, let's go for a walk!" She wanted to stroll in the garden, enjoying the beautiful sunset and the flowers in full bloom.
Just as Fu Jue was about to speak, Assistant Yin hurriedly ran in.
"Mr. Fu, the investigation into the restaurant explosion has been completed. It was Chen Yuli's parents who did it. They have admitted it, and the evidence is conclusive. The perpetrators have been apprehended and are on their way."
"Hmm." The sound was very soft, with a sense of nonchalance.
Upon hearing the investigation results, Fu Jue wasn't particularly excited, even though he would be able to take revenge soon.
On the contrary, she was very happy and excited, staring wide-eyed at Assistant Yin, ready to ask him about the bad guys.
"Qingqing, let's go for a walk in the garden." Fu Jue pulled her excitedly and walked towards the gate.
He was annoyed that Assistant Yin had to come and disturb his walk in the garden with her at this particular time.
"Huh? Oh..." Gu Qingqing didn't expect him to go for a walk. Shouldn't he be waiting for someone inside?
Not daring to disobey him, she had no choice but to agree.
Gu Qingqing placed her small hand in Fu Jue's palm, and they walked out of the living room hand in hand.
"That was close! Mr. Fu almost lost his temper." Assistant Yin wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, which was invisible to others, and sighed.
He arrived at the worst possible time, interrupting Master Fu and Gu Qingqing's stroll in the garden. But if not now, when would be a suitable time for him to come?
Master Fu is really asking too much of people. Assistant Yin said that today was a very difficult day, and he just wanted to go home and hug his mother.
Gu Qingqing followed Fu Jue slowly to the garden full of fragrant flowers. Everywhere there were blooming flowers, so beautiful that it was intoxicating and unforgettable.
"Master Fu..." she couldn't help but speak, as they hadn't said a word the whole way. She really couldn't hold back any longer; she figured those two bad guys would arrive at the Fu residence soon.
"Hmm?" Fu Jue's thin lips parted slightly as he stopped and turned to look at her. "What is it?"
"If Chen Yuli's parents really did the explosion, how would you deal with them?" Gu Qingqing's gaze fell on Fu Jue's Adam's apple, and she dared not look him in the eye.
Her fingers were intertwined, looking very conflicted. He understood her worries; she probably didn't want to see him do anything illegal.
"Don't worry, Qingqing, I won't do anything reckless. It's not worth it for someone like that. I'm a model citizen, I never do bad things." Fu Jue held her hands, telling her not to twist her fingers anymore, or she would look ugly.
Who would believe you're a model citizen!
Gu Qingqing pouted, not daring to reveal her true feelings. "Mr. Fu, you should go and find Assistant Yin to resolve this matter! I'm worried that the longer it drags on, the bigger this will become, and if the news gets out, it will affect your company's reputation."
Why is he holding her hand again? That's so strange.
"It's alright, Qingqing. You can leave that matter to Assistant Yin. I don't need to come out. I have more important things to do now, and nothing else is worth my time." Fu Jue sensed her struggle before he finally let go of her hand.
Gu Qingqing pouted and looked up at Fu Jue. "Then are you still staying with me? Go do your work."
"I'm doing something right now, taking a walk with you is the most important thing." He was really impressed by her obliviousness; his words were already so straightforward, yet she still hadn't grasped the real meaning.
"Huh? Mr. Fu, you..." She hadn't expected him to be serious; she had thought he was joking.
Taking a walk with her has become the most important thing for him. He's so sweet-talking; he's even learned how to coax people.
"But, Master Fu, I want to see those two people. Let's go back, okay?"
"Okay, I'll listen to you." After considering it carefully, Fu Jue finally agreed to her request. Originally, he didn't want her to come into contact with those two bad guys, since he was going to teach them a lesson, and the scene would definitely be bloody.
But the thought that his overprotective nature would turn her into a delicate flower in a greenhouse, making it impossible to solve problems later on, was a concern.
"Thank you, Mr. Fu." He was the one who found the bad guys, and she needed to ask his permission before she could meet them.
The two returned to the living room of the Fu residence and saw that Assistant Yin was still there, but he was on the phone discussing something.
"Yin, arrange for Qingqing and me to meet those two people," Fu Jue instructed directly.
Assistant Yin nodded and immediately hung up the phone. "Okay, the person has been brought to the interrogation room. I'll make the arrangements right away."
Gu Qingqing remained silent throughout, following Fu Jue and Assistant Yin to a room—a room without windows.
Inside the room, there were sobbing sounds from a man and a woman. They weren't very loud, and it was impossible to make out what they were saying. It was probably because their mouths were stuffed with cloth strips, so all that could be heard was their crying.
Assistant Yin turned on the room lights, and the room was immediately brightly lit.
Gu Qingqing saw two people tied to a chair, a man and a woman, who looked to be around fifty years old. They were probably Chen Yuli's parents!
Upon seeing the three of them, the middle-aged couple became very agitated, stammering something about saving them.
Gu Qingqing and Fu Jue sat in the chairs in the interrogation room, looking somewhat like police officers interrogating a criminal suspect.
"Don't speak loudly. My master Fu hates rude people. If you keep arguing, I'll let you taste the power of my fists again." Assistant Yin warned verbally, his expression fierce. Only after seeing the middle-aged couple nod in agreement did he remove the gags from their mouths and throw them on the ground.
"We know we were wrong. Please, have mercy on us!"
"Yes! We really know we were wrong, and we won't bully Miss Gu anymore." This time they've really messed up; they're barely alive, if not dead.
"Bully me? Is it just simple bullying? Did you hire a few thugs to rape me and ruin me? Or did you plan to blow up the restaurant to kill me?" Gu Qingqing sneered. If she didn't have martial arts skills, she would probably be dead at the hands of those three thugs long ago.
The restaurant explosion was even more terrifying. If it weren't for my keen sense of smell, which allowed me to detect the gas early on, and the help of Fu Jue, I would have escaped this ordeal.
But if it were the original owner, she probably would have been eliminated in the first round.
"No, no! Miss Gu, we absolutely did not mean that. It's a misunderstanding. We were just letting those thugs scare you. We had no intention of hurting you."
"We're innocent! Miss Gu, how could we possibly wrong you? We really didn't!"
The middle-aged couple argued back and forth, unaware that they were about to die.
"It's so noisy." Fu Jue was very annoyed and kicked over a chair next to him with a "bang".
Firstly, the middle-aged couple argued a lot, crying and making a scene.
Secondly, he felt saddened when he heard her words. He should have rushed out to protect her sooner. Fortunately, she had martial arts training; otherwise, the consequences would have been unimaginable.
Following Fu Jue's signal, Assistant Yin kicked the middle-aged man with great force, causing him to scream in pain. Not satisfied with one kick, he kicked him a second time.
"I told you to shut up, but you kept yelling! I'll kick you to death!"
