In the back seat of the car, Gu Jinzhi was playing with a dark blue velvet jewelry box.
As his fingertips stroked the delicate surface of the box, a hint of warmth couldn't be suppressed at the corners of his mouth.
Although a whole day had passed, Gu Jinzhi was still in a trance and felt the soft and cool touch in his arms and the lotus fragrance lingering at his nose, which were still so clear.
He couldn't help but raise his left hand to cover his mouth and nose, but the familiar smell in his palm was no longer there.
But the memory is vivid, as if it just happened.
Coming to his senses, he quickly put his hand down, feeling a little ashamed, a little guilty, and a little impatient.
Looking at the bustling street scene outside the car, Gu Jinzhi was a little impatient and wanted to return to the small building immediately.
Suddenly, an indescribable chill spread along the spine to the back of the head.
His back tensed instantly, and alarm bells rang in his heart.
There is murderous intent!
And... unscrupulous!
He did not make any unnecessary movements, but simply put the gift box in his hand back into the central storage compartment at his side.
Then, seemingly casually, he quickly observed his surroundings with the help of the reflections from the car windows and rearview mirror.
The streets were bustling with cars and pedestrians, and everything seemed normal.
But that creepy feeling is like a maggot in the tarsal bone, which cannot be shaken off.
Gu Jinzhi took a deep breath and calmed himself down.
My brain started working rapidly.
The Zeng family's Grandmaster who was protecting him left at noon today due to the incident at Yanshan...
As soon as the Grandmaster left, someone immediately wanted to attack him.
Who could it be?
Mother?
As soon as this thought arose, it was rejected by Gu Jinzhi.
Now, my mother's every word and action is under the watchful eyes of my grandfather and father.
Zeng Yi also found out that his mother's supporter, his aunt Liang Chunhua, had left Beijing not long ago.
Without the support of intelligence and military force, it would be impossible for my mother to ambush me at such a precise location.
Who could it be then?
The Zhang family? Impossible... Grandpa said that "that" being wouldn't allow the Zhang family to assassinate him.
The Zhang family doesn't have the courage to challenge the strongest person in the world.
Wait, could it be?
Yesterday, Yun Xi invited her to meet...
She wanted to...
No, now is not the time to think about this!
Solve the current problem first.
Gu Jinzhi took a deep breath to calm himself down, then calmly took out his cell phone, intending to contact Zeng Yi.
However, when he turned on the screen, he found that the signal bar in the upper right corner of the phone was empty.
Next to it, there is a red "X".
His eyes narrowed slightly, then he leaned forward and said to the driver in front of him, "Brother Fang, can you lend me your phone?"
"Okay, Master."
The driver, Brother Fang, didn't ask any questions and immediately handed over his phone.
Gu Jinzhi took it and glanced at the screen. There was no signal in the upper right corner either.
He let out a light breath and returned the phone as if nothing had happened.
"No thanks for now."
"You're welcome, young master." Brother Fang didn't ask any further questions and took the phone and put it away naturally.
Gu Jinzhi looked out the window again, and this time, he observed more carefully.
Soon, he noticed several pedestrians on the street holding up their mobile phones with confused expressions on their faces, as if wondering why there was suddenly no signal.
Large-scale signal shielding...
His heart sank.
At this moment, the car was slowly passing a large shopping mall, and he suddenly spoke.
"Brother Fang, stop the car."
"I just remembered that I have something to buy for the young lady. You go back first. I'll take a look around here."
The driver did as he was told and pulled the car steadily to the side of the road.
After the car stopped, Gu Jinzhi reached out and patted the driver's shoulder very naturally before pushing the door.
"When you get back, remember to call my dad."
His voice was steady, and there was nothing unusual in it.
"Just saying, I suddenly wanted to ask him how he 'pursued' my mother back then."
He emphasized the word "pursuit".
Brother Fang's back stiffened imperceptibly for a moment, then he nodded and said in a steady voice, "Okay, Master."
Seeing that he understood what he meant, Gu Jinzhi took out the knife bag from under the seat, carried it in his hand like a piece of luggage, and pushed the door open and got out of the car.
After watching the car drive away, he breathed a sigh of relief, crossed the road and walked towards the shopping mall across the street.
There are many pedestrians on the street, and in the martial arts era, there are also many who carry weapons with them.
But Gu Jinzhi felt as if he was walking alone under the spotlight.
From the moment I got off the car, the feeling of being watched and scrutinized became more and more obvious, like a thorn in my back.
He forced himself not to look around and not to reveal his vigilance, just like an ordinary young man.
He planned to sneak into the mall, use the crowds and terrain to escape, and then find an opportunity to call for help on the landline.
He was not impulsive and wanted to solve it on his own.
Anyone who dares to block signals in the imperial capital and is not afraid of exposing his murderous intentions... must be absolutely sure of getting rid of him.
Now, I just don't know, is this person's goal his life, or...
Thinking of a certain possibility, Gu Jinzhi's eyes became deeper, chaotic thoughts emerged one after another, and his anxious mood was difficult to suppress.
He would never allow such a result to happen!
Then, just as he was about to step into the mall door.
A deep and mellow male voice sounded directly in his mind without any warning.
"Do you want to die quietly alone, or do you want to drag hundreds of innocent people here to be buried with you?"
