The phone rang for a long time before it was answered.
Luo Wei subconsciously whispered, "Junior Sister, is that you?"
A calm voice came from the phone: "Did you need something, senior?"
Luo Wei paused for a moment before saying seriously, "It's like this, my older brother just contacted me. He asked me to find your cousin Qin Yiheng and tell him that Sophie has come to Huaguo, probably to see your cousin. You should tell him right away."
Shangguan Wu frowned: "Sophie has come to Huaguo?"
Upon hearing this name, Gu Yunzhen, standing to the side, flashed a cold glint in her deep eyes, inspiring fear in those who looked upon her.
Luo Wei confirmed, "Yes. My older brother told me this himself."
Shangguan Wu's gaze suddenly froze. Luo Wei's older brother had been missing for ten years. Why would he suddenly contact Luo Wei?
Did he say anything else?
"No, I guess your cousin will contact my older brother after he finds out. I'll send you my older brother's number, and you can forward it to your cousin."
Okay, thank you.
Shangguan Wu thanked him.
"Junior Sister, there's no need for us to be so polite..."
"Cough cough."
Gu Yunzhen suddenly coughed twice and called out, "Wife, I want some water."
Shangguan Wu turned her head and glared at him, then said into her phone, "Senior, I have something to do, so I'll have to go now. Thank you for telling me this, goodbye."
After hearing Luo Wei say goodbye, Shangguan Wu hung up the phone.
She looked at Gu Yunzhen with a mixture of amusement and exasperation: "Satisfied now?"
Gu Yunzhen scoffed: "You and him haven't been in contact for ages, what 'between us' is there to talk about!"
“You!” He pointed his index finger at Shangguan Wu, then at himself, “and me, that is between us.”
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly, looking defeated.
"I think you dipped the shrimp in too much vinegar at lunchtime."
After venting her frustrations, Shangguan Wu quickly got up, walked to the window, found Qin Yiheng's phone number, and dialed it.
After she relayed the message, Qin Yiheng only said one sentence: "Hehe, I haven't even had a chance to go find her yet, but she's already delivered herself to my door."
"Big cousin..."
Before Shangguan Wu could finish speaking, Qin Yiheng interrupted him: "You take good care of Yunzhen, and don't worry about anything else. Be a good boy."
After the call ended, Shangguan Wu frowned and looked at Gu Yunzhen: "Honey, my cousin's attitude seems a bit off. Could something be wrong?"
Gu Yunzhen naturally understood, but not wanting her to worry, he reassured her in a deep voice, "He's with my older brother. You disturbed them. How could his attitude be normal?"
"ah?"
Shangguan Wu was stunned. Is that so?
Gu Yunzhen clicked his tongue and beckoned to her with his index finger: "Wife, come here."
Shangguan Wu's lips twitched slightly: "You sound like you're barking at a dog."
Gu Yunzhen: "..."
This was the first time he had ever seen her dress like a dog.
At this moment, Shangguan Wu realized what she had said and wished she could find a hole to crawl into.
Gu Yunzhen stared at her with deep eyes, a wicked smile curving his thin lips: "It's alright, wife. Pregnancy makes you stupid for three years. It's only been a short time. Your husband can handle it."
Shangguan Wu was speechless.
The next second, her eyes darted around, and she uttered a popular internet meme: "If you don't know how to use cloud computing, don't use it!"
Gu Yunzhen didn't understand: "What do you mean by 'cloud' or 'not cloud'?"
Shangguan Wu gave a coquettish snort: "Not a single word of it is something I want to hear!"
Gu Yunzhen understood this time.
He coughed lightly twice, looking at her with a scrutinizing gaze: "Honey, did you put on makeup today? You look even more beautiful than yesterday."
Shangguan Wu couldn't help but burst out laughing, instantly breaking his composure.
"That's enough, hahaha..."
After laughing, she wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and asked seriously, "So I'm just going to ignore this?"
Gu Yunzhen raised an eyebrow: "Of course I don't care. Didn't Heng-ge ask you to take care of me? You should be the one taking care of me more."
Shangguan Wu wanted to roll her eyes again, so she quickly walked towards the door.
"I'm going to pick up the baby."
Qin Yichen often came to visit Gu Yunzhen, but they would only exchange a few words before he would take Xiao Tianyou out to play.
As for Sophie's matter, her older cousin and Gu Yunzhen both told her not to get involved, so Shangguan Wu simply left it alone.
Since they've said that, they must have the ability to resolve it.
Besides, her husband is like he's on a winning streak right now.
Even if something goes wrong, he can handle it.
Shangguan Wu had to take Rongrong's pulse every day, and also take care of Gu Yunzhen and Xiao Tianyou, so he didn't want to make things difficult for himself by getting involved in such troublesome matters.
She never expected to receive another call from Luo Wei three days later.
???
Three days later, at 2 a.m.
In a villa in the suburbs.
“Sophie, you were lucky last time that Qin Yiheng spared your life. If I were him, I would have thrown you off the cliff instead of the car.”
Ross looked at Sophie with a grim expression: "But this time, you can forget about going back alive. I've already found a scapegoat for you, don't worry!"
Sophie didn't know what Ross was up to, but the fact that he dared to do this meant that he had betrayed her.
When it comes to traitors, the R organization has always preferred to kill the innocent rather than let the guilty go free.
At this moment, Ross had the upper hand, and Sophie felt uneasy, but she remained calm on the surface.
She knew that if she wanted to survive, she had to leave Hua Kingdom as soon as possible.
She can no longer sit idly by and wait to die!
Sophie had a sudden flash of inspiration and thought of someone. Although she couldn't guarantee that the person would come to her rescue, what if they did?
As long as he agrees to save her, the past will be wiped clean, and she will no longer bother him!
Seeing that she remained silent for a long time, Ross cursed her inwardly as an idiot and sneered, "Sophie, are you thinking of having your man come to save you? Hahaha... They're not coming!"
Sophie frowned and snorted, "You're wrong. I just remembered something."
Ross didn't believe him: "Oh, what is it?"
“You should know what happened to those who tried to escape!” Sophie looked at him coldly.
Ross's heart skipped a beat; of course he knew.
Every time someone who had escaped was caught, the leader would call everyone out and watch the person be tortured to death.
In an instant, Ross felt a chill run down his spine.
But he had already done it, and going back would only mean certain death; he had no way out.
However, Ross denied it, saying, "I don't know what you're talking about!"
Sophie saw his reaction and sneered, "You don't know? You think you can escape by pretending to be stupid? Let me tell you, you'll only die a more miserable death!"
Ross was secretly annoyed. This woman was already in his hands, and she still dared to threaten him like this?!
"Sophie, do you think you can make it back alive?"
"Why not? No matter who's behind you, you can't possibly beat my godfather!"
Sophie's eyes were full of admiration when she mentioned her "godfather".
The next second, she looked at Ross with pity: "I'm giving you a friendly reminder now, don't try to play any tricks, or you really will die."
