There was a car parked not far from the bar. Xu Xiaoxiao recognized the car as Gu Yiming's from a distance, so she walked to the car window.
"Hello, can you do me a favor?" After Xu Xiaoxiao finished speaking, the car window was slowly rolled down, and the driver stuck his head out.
The driver looked Xu Xiaoxiao up and down, seemingly not recognizing her, and then wondered what she wanted from him. "What's wrong, miss? Are you in some kind of trouble? This isn't a passenger vehicle. I'm sorry, I can't take you."
Now, based on the driver's reply, Xu Xiaoxiao was completely certain that this was Gu Yiming's car, so she began to prepare her next plan.
"Driver, could you please help me reach my bag?" Xu Xiaoxiao asked, looking troubled. The driver was puzzled as well, wondering why she insisted on his help.
The driver hesitated for a moment, then, seeing that Gu Yiming hadn't come out yet, got out of the car. Looking around, Xu Xiaoxiao's eyes filled with hope and gratitude.
"Excuse me, it's stuck on a tree branch. I was trying to buy something, but it got stuck there. The more I try to get rid of it, the more it gets stuck, so I have no choice but to ask you for help. I haven't been able to find anyone else around here." Xu Xiaoxiao used a lame excuse to deceive the driver. Although the driver was somewhat skeptical, he saw that Xu Xiaoxiao seemed honest, and since it was a girl, he still came out to help.
The driver followed behind Xu Xiaoxiao, who kept thanking him. The driver felt he should say something to make her understand, "Miss, I can help you, but I can't waste too much time. I'm also waiting for my husband."
Upon hearing this, Xu Xiaoxiao quickly nodded in front of her. She didn't dare to take the driver too far. She had already found a spot, roughly to the left front of the car, where there was a big tree.
"Driver, I'm sorry to bother you. This is the big tree. It must have accidentally caught on me. I can't pull it down right now, and I don't have the strength to break the branch." After hearing Xu Xiao's explanation, the driver looked up and saw that a bag was indeed hanging on the tree. He reached out to try to reach it, but it was quite high, and he had to stand on tiptoe.
The driver looked around, but he had no choice. He had promised Xu Xiaoxiao, so he could only bite the bullet and go up to help her. Meanwhile, Xu Xiaoxiao was already waiting for him with a wooden stick.
"Driver, I'm really sorry to trouble you. There are some very important things in this bag, so I have to buy it. I would be very grateful if you could come down." Xu Xiaoxiao kept talking to distract the driver, who then neatly put the bag away and went back to wait for Gu Yiming.
Then, the driver felt a sharp pain in his head, and slowly turned his head to see Xu Xiaoxiao. He was terrified, holding a stick in her hand, "You..."
Before the driver could finish speaking, Xu Xiaoxiao struck him again, causing him to collapse unconscious. When Gu Yiming and Xu Mo came out, Xu Xiaoxiao had already changed her clothes and was sitting in the car, waiting at the door for some time. Because she was wearing a hat, Gu Yiming didn't even notice her.
"Alright, let's go." Gu Yiming didn't say much. Actually, Gu Yiming was already a little drunk, and after getting into the car, he couldn't even see what the driver looked like.
At this moment, Gu Yiming wasn't too drunk yet, and he wanted to see what the driver looked like. Why couldn't he see clearly because he was wearing a hat? Normally, drivers could see his face very clearly.
"It's so dark, don't you turn on the lights?" Gu Yiming asked the driver out of sheer curiosity, since most drivers didn't wear hats.
The driver remained silent, completely ignoring Gu Yiming, because he shouldn't have paid attention to him. This person was none other than Xu Xiaoxiao. The original driver had been knocked unconscious by Xu Xiaoxiao, thrown into the toilet, and had changed into pre-prepared clothes, waiting for Gu Yiming for quite some time.
Seeing Gu Yiming's repeated inquiries, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't very well not answer. So Gu Yiming deliberately lowered his voice, "It's nothing, sir. I have a bit of a cold, and I have a scar on my face, so I don't want to frighten you for the time being."
"Oh, so that's how it is. So where was the driver in this car? It wasn't you driving, was it? Your build doesn't match his." Although Gu Yiming was slightly drunk, he could still recognize people, and he clearly sensed that this driver was not the original driver.
Xu Xiaoxiao had anticipated that Gu Yiming would ask this question, so she recited the prepared explanation, "It's like this, Mr. Gu suddenly had an emergency at home, so he asked me to go and check on your car for the time being, but I really couldn't go to see him, and he insisted that I do this."
The carriage was silent; no one spoke. Xu Xiaoxiao dared not speak, quietly waiting for Gu Yiming's next sentence, then considering how to respond. But for a long time, Gu Yiming remained silent. Through the rearview mirror, Xu Xiaoxiao saw that Gu Yiming had fallen asleep.
Seeing this, Xu Xiaoxiao couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Luckily he's asleep, otherwise I would be doomed." Xu Xiaoxiao secretly rejoiced, as this was all something she had planned for a long time, and it was only now that it could be implemented.
Xu Xiaoxiao rang the doorbell, and someone quickly opened the door. It was the housekeeper. The housekeeper didn't pay much attention because it was dark, since Gu Yiming had already said in advance that he would be back a little late today.
"Sir, would you like me to help you inside?" Xu Xiaoxiao deliberately lowered her voice again, but the butler didn't notice.
"You can help the gentleman inside. Just go to his room nearby." The butler looked at the driver and figured that since the driver had brought him here, he might as well let the driver take Gu Yiming upstairs.
Xu Xiaoxiao didn't hesitate and led the already asleep Gu Yiming directly to his room. Just as she was about to close the door, a voice stopped her.
"If you need anything, just call out. If you don't need anything, you can leave now." It turned out to be the butler who had come later. The butler seemed to be going to sleep too, since Gu Yiming had already been brought back by Xu Xiaoxiao.
Xu Xiaoxiao had already come this far, so she certainly wouldn't dare let the housekeeper find out. She quickly agreed with the housekeeper, "Don't worry, don't worry, I'll help Gu Yiming to bed right away, and then I'll leave. You don't need to worry about me."
Although the housekeeper was a little worried, he glanced at Xu Xiaoxiao twice and left without saying anything.
