Su Wan released Gu Chu, ignoring everyone else, and whispered in Gu Chu's ear, "Chu Chu, that man is also a chosen one. I'm giving him to you. Find a way to catch him!"
As Su Wan spoke, her gaze fell on Rong Shi, gesturing for Gu Chu to look over.
Gu Chu turned around and froze when she saw Rong Shi.
Please allow me some time!
Battalion Commander of the Special Operations Battalion in City C!
She was also the one who finally solved the Twelve Sacrificial Rites case in her previous life, the man who personally avenged her by capturing Li Shengping!
Seeing Gu Chu staring blankly at Rong Shi, Su Wan asked in confusion, "Chu Chu?"
Gu Chu snapped out of her daze, feeling a little excited. She whispered to Su Wan, "Wanwan, I know him."
Su Wan instantly understood. No wonder Gu Chu had lost her composure just now. She had been wondering why Gu Chu would be so distracted by a man. Even if the man was good-looking, it shouldn't have made Gu Chu so absent-minded. It turned out that he was an old acquaintance.
Su Wan asked, "Who is he? Is he someone very powerful?"
Gu Chu didn't immediately tell Su Wan, "Let's talk about this when we get back. He's the one who saved you today?"
Su Wan nodded: "Yes, thanks to his appearance, otherwise I might have been..."
Su Wan didn't need to say anything more; Gu Chu already understood what kind of person Qi Mingxuan was, having learned it from Jiang Jinyu long ago.
Gu Chu walked towards Rong Shi: "Mr. Shi, thank you for saving Wanwan."
Gu Chu deliberately addressed Rong Shi in this way for two main reasons.
First, she cannot reveal Rong Shi's identity. Given the current situation, no one else knows Rong Shi's true identity. If Rong Shi appeared with his true identity, the other people's reactions would not be like this. At the very least, he should have been welcomed into an office for tea.
Secondly, she wanted to leave an impression on Rong Shi and remind him that she knew him.
Sure enough, a dangerous glint flashed in Rong Shi's eyes when he heard Gu Chu address him.
The woman in front of him seemed to know his true identity, unlike Su Wan, who was just spouting nonsense. The woman in front of him addressed him accurately as "Mr. Shi," using his name as his surname. If he didn't know him, how would he know his name?
With a hint of suspicion, Rong Shi said, "You're welcome. Madam, do you know me?"
Gu Chu didn't hide anything and nodded in agreement: "Yes, Mr. Shi must have come here on important business, so I won't disturb you any longer."
Just as Gu Chu returned to Su Wan's side, Jiang Jinyu suddenly rushed in from outside.
"Gu Chu! Are you alright? I heard Su Wan was kidnapped?" Jiang Jinyu stopped in front of Gu Chu.
Gu Chu looked at him coldly: "Why was she kidnapped?"
Jiang Jinyu felt guilty. If she hadn't forcibly taken Gu Chu away, Su Wan wouldn't have been kidnapped by Qi Mingxuan's men.
Because of Su Wan's testimony, Qi Mingxuan was taken away for investigation, and Su Wan, as the victim, also went to give a statement.
Time flies, and October is here in the blink of an eye.
Online, the incident involving Su Wan and Gu Qingling has gradually faded from public view. Now, the news trending on social media is a story titled "Perverted Murderer from an Island Nation Sentenced to Death."
Yamada Jiro's crimes were widely publicized in the news, and the hatred of the people towards the island nation became even more deeply rooted after they learned about this.
Citizens in City A who saw the report were agitated and angrily cursed the Japanese for being inhuman. For a time, Japanese people in City A dared not reveal their identities, especially those who spoke Chinese with a Japanese accent; they dared not speak when they went out.
The people at the island nation's embassy in City A hunched over, afraid of being caught in the crossfire.
Suzuki Motoyo gradually realized what was happening after Yamada Jiro was arrested. He sent a message to Gu Chu to question her, only to find that he was not Gu Chu's friend. He was so angry that he cursed "Baka!"
In the afternoon, at Lijing Apartment—
Gu Chu's phone rang.
Gu Chu raised an eyebrow slightly upon seeing the caller ID.
The call was from Rong Shi. Ever since Gu Chu left Rong Shi with those meaningful words, Rong Shi had arranged to meet with her privately afterwards.
That day, the two met at a coffee shop, and Rong Shi got straight to the point.
"Ms. Gu, how did you know about me?"
Gu Chu calmly sized up Rong Shi: "Mr. Rong, you didn't just ask to see me today just to hear this, did you?"
Seeing that Gu Chu had seen through his thoughts, Rong Shi admitted, "Indeed, I came to you with two questions: First, how did you come to know me, Ms. Gu? Second, what are your thoughts on spirit possession techniques, Miss Gu?"
Gu Chu looked at Rong Shi for a while before speaking: "Mr. Rong, I'm sorry, I can't answer your first question. As for the spirit possession technique, I only have one thing to say: The world is vast and full of wonders. While we believe in science, we should also respect metaphysics."
Rong Shi then asked, "What is the relationship between Ms. Gu and Ms. Su?"
Gu Chu truthfully replied, "We are twin sisters."
Rong Shi wasn't surprised. Instead, he said, "The person whose spirit was possessed is Ms. Su?"
Since leaving Qile Center yesterday, Rong Shi had people investigate the identities of the people, so he now knows the identities of Su Wan and Gu Chu.
"Yes, you've checked everything." Gu Chu took a sip of coffee.
“Ms. Gu, I’m still more interested in how you know my identity. I haven’t told anyone else about my identity, and the people around me are very loyal to me. If I’m not mistaken, how did you find out, Ms. Gu? Do you have a secret as well?”
Looking at the man in front of her, Gu Chu thought of how he single-handedly solved the Twelve Sacrifices case in her previous life, and also uncovered evidence of Huang Jianhan's corruption and bribery, ultimately bringing Huang Jianhan down. Gu Chu couldn't help but admire him.
In particular, he was the one who caught a high-ranking official who betrayed Chinese secrets. During this time, he also survived several assassination attempts by foreign spies. In the end, he was framed by someone close to him, but his status as a privileged son protected him. Eventually, the truth was revealed, and he was promoted again, holding a high position at a young age.
Gu Chu felt it would be a shame to miss out on a man with such a powerful family background and outstanding abilities.
Gu Chu stared at him blankly: "If you want to know the secret about me, let's make a deal!"
Rong Shi became interested: "What kind of deal?"
Gu Chu stared into his eyes and uttered two words softly: "Marry me."
"Hmph! Ms. Gu, aren't you afraid of being so blatant?" Rong Shi couldn't help but sneer.
Gu Chu didn't take it to heart and could understand Rong Shi's reaction. It was the same reaction she had when Jiang Jinyu asked her to marry him at the KTV.
Gu Chu truthfully replied, "I'm afraid, but I'm even more afraid of not being able to protect the people I care about."
"Since Ms. Gu knows me, she must also know that with my family background, you probably wouldn't be able to get into my house."
I don't care whether I get into your house or not. I only care about the protection the law gives me. Of course, if you can't even decide your own marriage, then just pretend I didn't say anything. Goodbye!
After Gu Chu finished speaking, she got up and left decisively.
——
Gu Chu answered the phone: "Mr. Rong, what's up?"
"I'll be downstairs in your apartment complex. Bring your household registration booklet."
Gu Chu was very happy to learn that Rong Shi had agreed to her previous request.
See you in ten minutes!
