Tao Bao's eyes dropped slightly, his slender white fingers gently twirling the rim of the cup as he asked, "There's always a price to pay for getting favors from Si Minghan. If it really comes to that, begging him, Tao Shiming will definitely have a chance to go to hell. But... will the hatred in your heart disappear? Someone who was once so kind to you died for you, so you have to give her a gift personally. This is the thought of a family member. What could be easier to untie the knot than to personally kill your enemy? So, if you had someone like that by your side, would you ask for his help? If so, you wouldn't be alone forever."
And the pain she had endured from Tao Shiming since childhood must have a happy ending.
"So you sent me a text message to test me and ask for cooperation. Indeed, you caught me with something, and I had no choice but to agree to your proposal."
"You're wrong. It's your choice whether to agree or not. There's no coercion." Tao Bao looked at him. "You can leave at any time. We'll just pretend we've never met. I won't know anything about you and me. At worst, I can do it alone. It's a little difficult, but I'll feel better no matter what I do..."
Gu Che looked back at her, his eyes sharp as a sword, just like the sword that threatened her life in front of him, with a chilling light.
He understood that if this was Tao Bao's plan, as long as he agreed, he would be plunging step by step into the abyss. And the truth of that year would be buried forever!
Tao Bao waited patiently for his choice. He took a sip of water, looked toward the balcony, and pointed at the open window. "That's where Aunt Qiu jumped from, committing suicide... If you agree to cooperate, please leave Tao Shiming's life to me."
Gu Che asked, "Does the company belong to me?"
"You take what belongs to you, and donate the rest... to children in mountainous areas!" said Tao Bao.
Gu Che didn't expect that Tao Bao was so scheming, but she also had a kind side, which made him look at her intently.
"It's settled then." Gu Che spoke when Tao Bao looked at him.
"Also, how did you and Tao Chumo respond?"
“Just ignore it.”
Tao Bao nodded in understanding, then looked around at him.
Gu Che sat steadily.
Tao Bao asked, "Where do you hide your porn photos?"
Gu Che untied the watch strap, revealing the nude photos hidden inside.
Tao Bao smiled, "You're at the head office, and I'm in Kyoto. If we work together, things will be much easier. Happy working together! By the way, Mr. Gu, don't call my number anymore. I'll buy you a new phone so we can keep in touch."
"No contact." Gu Che said.
Tao Bao understood what he meant. If they contacted each other, they would be easily exposed, so he might as well just pretend to be strangers. Gu Che was very thoughtful.
Gu Che stood up and left.
Tao Bao also stood up to see him off. Gu Che in front stopped and looked at her. Tao Bao raised her eyebrows in confusion.
"I look back."
Tao Bao nodded, "Okay." Then he remembered something and asked cautiously, "How do you get into the community?"
"It's not the main entrance, so it's away from the cameras. Don't worry, no one saw us." Gu Che opened the door and walked out.
Tao Bao stood at the door, watching Gu abandon the elevator and head towards the emergency passage.
This man was very thoughtful in what he did, so, did he really do nothing by staying with Tao Shiming?
Tao Bao closed the door and sat down in front of the coffee table, sitting on the foam board.
The fact that Gu Che has a sharp blade hidden in his watch strap means that he is always harboring murderous intent and is a ruthless character!
Tao Bao didn't care what shameful things he had done in the past, as long as their goals were the same now.
Just when Tao Bao was lost in thought, his cell phone rang.
She glanced at the incoming call. It was Tao Shiming. She answered it and heard Tao Shiming's voice, "Xiaobao, are you off work again today?"
"I stay in the apartment at night."
"Why are you going back again? Isn't it good to live with Dad? If you need anything, tell Dad!"
"No, I just wanted to come back and take a look."
"I see! The conditions in the apartment are definitely not as good as at home. Dad wants to give you the best!"
"No, I'm hanging up." Tao Bao was too lazy to listen.
"One more thing. Didn't you say you wanted to give Si Minghan some good wine? I got a bottle of good wine. When can you help me pass it on to Si Minghan?"
"Let's talk about it when I get back!"
"Hmm."
Tao Bao hung up the phone and threw it aside.
Just as I ended the call, there was another knock on the door.
Could it be that Gu Che has come back again?
He went to open the door, and when his hand landed on the doorknob, he hesitated and asked, "Who is it?"
"Open the door." The low and intimidating voice came from Si Minghan!
Tao Bao was shocked. Why was Si Minghan here? Could it be that he discovered Gu Che coming to her place? That shouldn't be the case! Gu Che said he avoided the surveillance cameras and didn't even enter through the main door. How could he know...
Tao Bao turned around and saw two cups on the coffee table, which made her feel nervous.
"What are you doing here?" As soon as he asked, he immediately took the cup and stuffed it into the cabinet next to him.
There was nothing unusual except the cup.
The person outside did not answer her.
After Tao Bao put away the cups, he quickly ran to the door, took a deep breath, and opened the door.
A tall, dark-clad figure suddenly appeared before him, his eyes piercing and cold, making him dare not look directly at them.
Si Ming Hanqian came in, glanced into the room, and asked in a low voice, "Why did you take so long to open the door?"
"How long? I was just frightened by you... By the way, why are you here?" Tao Bao remembered that the man was angry and didn't let her see the six little ones.
Si Minghan walked towards the sofa. Suddenly, his sharp eyes knitted his dark brows and turned to look at Tao Bao. His black eyes were sharp, "Alone?"
"Yeah! Who else could it be?" Tao Bao asked back, his eyes clear and innocent.
"Why does it smell like perfume?"
"..." Tao Bao looked at him in surprise, feeling nervous. "Perfume?"
He walked over and sniffed a few times at the spot where Si Minghan was standing. "Why don't I smell anything? It must be your illusion...ah!"
Before she could finish her words, Si Minghan grabbed the back of her neck and pressed it forcefully against her chest. A cold aura enveloped her, and a sinister voice was right beside her ear. "Once you find out, I won't be as easy to talk to as I am now."
Tao Bao's heart was beating fast. She never thought that Si Minghan would notice the faint scent of cologne on Gu Che, but she would never admit it!
Even though Si Minghan didn't let her see the child and was furious with her, it didn't mean that he would allow other men to be around her!
She never dared to underestimate this man's possessiveness!
Tao Bao simply bet that Gu Che was meticulous and his whereabouts would not be discovered!
She pretended to be angry and struggled to push Si Minghan away, "Go check it out! It's inexplicable, go check it out now, don't wait for anyone to get away! How can you be like this? What kind of perfume smell is that? You can only think of it! Maybe it's the smell of my hand washing soap!"
