Zhong Gaoyi was silent.
There was a sneer from the other end of the phone:
"Why, you've been there so often that you've developed feelings for it?"
Zhong Gaoyi gritted his teeth and said, "I have it, please give me a chance."
Gu Mingchi's coldness was about to emerge from the communicator:
"Su Tao is really good at this! I'm really curious. You never dared to talk to me like this before. What kind of magic potion did she give you to make you so determined to leave?"
Zhong Gaoyi's palms were sweating: "It's my own decision, it has nothing to do with anyone else."
"Fool me?"
Zhong Gaoyi said with a stiff upper lip:
"Boss Gu, I'm just an ordinary person, and ordinary people will only covet the stability of Taoyang."
Gu Mingchi sneered: "Coveting Taoyang? I'm afraid what you covet is not the stability of Taoyang, but the people of Taoyang!"
The last half of the sentence was almost squeezed out through gritted teeth.
Zhong Gaoyi was stunned: "Did you misunderstand something?"
He really liked Zhuang Wan.
But what does it have to do with him?
It was as if he had stolen his wife.
Gu Mingchi gritted his teeth and said, "You don't dare to admit it? You've been there so many times and seen so much, won't you fall in love with me over time?"
Zhong Gaoyi tasted the sourness in these words and suddenly understood!
I didn't care about anything else and quickly showed my cards:
"Yes, every time I went to Taoyang, Boss Su was always busy, so he usually asked Manager Zhuang to entertain me. She was gentle and considerate, and took good care of me. After a while..."
Gu Mingchi: ".Zhuang Wan?"
"Yes, she is a single mother with a son and a daughter. Her daughter is only a few years younger than Boss Su, so I treat her as my junior."
He almost said openly that Boss Su was so much younger than him, and he would be crazy to fall for Boss Su!
Gu Mingchi's tone improved a little, but not much better:
"Even so, I don't agree. The brothers I brought from the old station haven't found a place to stay yet. They'll have to go out and fight for territory soon. There will inevitably be casualties. You must be here."
"Also, I estimate that there will be a large-scale zombie wave this month. Even the walls of the West District may not be able to withstand it, let alone our East District. We must be prepared for it to be breached."
Zhong Gaoyi felt bitter:
"Boss Gu, I've never forgotten the kindness you showed me when you saved my life so many years ago. I've done my best over the years and have treated almost 90% of the thousands of brothers in the East District."
"If I may be so offended, I've snatched your life from the hands of the King of Hell eight times, if not ten times. Not to mention the distant past, just a few days ago you were bitten by that beast, and the entire right shoulder was gone. If it weren't for me, a wound that big would have left you crippled, if not dead."
Gu Mingchi's voice was full of coldness:
"Don't play the emotional card with me. I allow you to go to Taoyang as long as I'm fine. There's no limit to the number of days per month. If you want to leave me and join Taoyang, forget it. You must come back before the 25th of this month."
"Don't think I can't do anything to you if you hide in Taoyang. Can you stay here forever? Can Zhuang Wan and her two children stay here forever?"
Zhong Gaoyi was shocked and was about to speak when the other party hung up.
He gripped the communicator tightly, feeling for the first time how disgusting and unwilling it was to be unable to control one's own behavior.
No sleep all night.
The next morning, Su Tao heard the doorbell early in the morning. When she opened the door, she saw Zhong Gaoyi with dark circles under his eyes.
"What's wrong, Doctor Zhong?"
Zhong Gaoyi took out a small box from his pocket and handed it to her:
"Boss Su, please keep this crystal core."
"Why?" Su Tao was surprised.
"I've decided to stay in Taoyang, but Gu Mingchi won't let me go and has threatened me that if I don't return before the 25th of this month, Wanwan and the two children might be in danger. Although I'm a person with special abilities, I can only heal illnesses and save lives, not protect them."
"Boss Su, Wanwan and the children are very important to me. I hope you can find a way to protect them. This crystal core is just a small token of my appreciation. If Boss Su is not afraid of Gu Mingchi's revenge and is willing to take me in, I will do my best to contribute to Taoyang."
Su Tao was startled when he heard this, then smiled and pushed the crystal core back:
"I didn't think it was a big deal. Zhuang Wan and the others are my people. If I don't protect them, who else can I protect? As for you, if you are willing to stay, it will be a great thing for Taoyang. Don't worry, stay in Taoyang. I will tell Zhuang Wan and the others not to go out in the near future. As long as they are in Taoyang, no one can hurt them."
"If Gu Mingchi wants revenge, let him wait outside."
These words put Zhong Gaoyi at ease, and the dark clouds in his heart immediately dissipated.
He firmly put the crystal core into Su Tao's hand again:
"Boss Su must have known the function of the crystal core. Apart from this, I don't have anything else to offer. If you don't accept it, I will feel bad."
Su Tao had no choice but to accept it.
After Zhong Gaoyi left with a sense of relief, Su Tao walked to the window and looked downstairs. After a while, she saw Zhuang Wan running over hurriedly and asking Zhong Gaoyi a few questions.
Zhong Gaoyi said something with a smile.
Zhuang Wan was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed out loud with red eyes.
Su Tao smiled and shook her head. She turned around and took a sip of water. When she looked downstairs, Chenxi had also arrived.
Zhong Gaoyi picked up Chenxi and spun around happily. After putting her down, he paused and then gently hugged Zhuang Wan.
The early morning light shines on the family of three, lengthening their shadows, like an endless stream of little happiness.
Su Tao was happy for them, scratching Bai Zhima's chin and said:
"What a happy family, but you don't understand even if I tell you. Your brother is missing, and all you care about is eating. Even Xue Dao knows that a black cub is missing. What a stupid little cat."
Bai Zhima twisted her body and rubbed against her in a coquettish voice.
Su Tao sighed and missed the lively, active and smart Hei Zhima.
Zi Jin received it the day before yesterday. It is not afraid of people at all. On the night of its arrival, it inspected the pioneer army's camp like a proud little general. It seemed very satisfied. It ate cat food and climbed onto the roof of the car to sleep.
Su Tao was relieved to hear this, but also felt a little worried.
When I went downstairs and was about to go to the office, I met Mr. Mei walking with his hands on the wall in the corridor.
Su Tao subconsciously wanted to help him, but he waved his hand to refuse, and smiled at her like an old naughty boy:
"How is it? I can actually walk on my own without holding onto the wall."
As he said this, he demonstrated it to Su Tao twice.
Su Tao was so frightened that she wanted to help him, but Liu Panpan stopped her with a smile:
"Don't worry, Boss Su, look."
Mr. Mei proudly took several steps. Although his steps were smaller and slower than those of a normal person, he looked very steady.
Not only is it no problem to walk on flat ground, but it is also no problem to go up and down stairs with just the help of the handrails.
Seeing Su Tao's dumbfounded look, Mr. Mei laughed and said:
"It's not bad. This level won't be a problem for me to go to Panliu Mountain with you, right?"
