Shen Jingyan and Gu Zhiyun stayed at the Xu family home until a little after four o'clock before going home.
I have a little one at home who needs taking care of him.
Not long after they left the Xu family's house, a bicycle sped past them.
Gu Zhiyun quickly pulled Shen Jingyan into his arms.
As the bicycle sped past, the rider threw a crumpled piece of paper at their feet.
Chen Jingyan frowned.
That person just now was coming for them!
It's a pity I couldn't see his face clearly!

Gu Zhiyun picked up the note, a dark cloud hanging over his face.
He handed the note to Shen Jingyan.
The note read: Xu Yatong is at Jucai Hotel on Jianhua Road in the eastern suburbs of the city. Do not call the police, or you will be sent to collect her body.
After reading the note, Chen Jingyan's eyelids twitched a few times.
“This is Zhou Zhengqing’s handwriting,” Gu Zhiyun said in a low voice.
He had gone to the countryside with Zhou Zhengqing and had seen Zhou Zhengqing's calligraphy.
"What is this beast trying to do?"
Shen Jingyan said through gritted teeth, "Doesn't he know he's courting death?"
Gu Zhiyun pondered for a moment and said, "He probably wants to negotiate with us, so he took Xu Yatong hostage as a bargaining chip."
When Grandpa Qin was alive, Zhou Zhengqing was afraid of his maternal grandfather and his behavior was somewhat restrained. Now that Grandpa Qin has passed away, he is truly fearless.
They're capable of kidnapping and extortion!
"Brother Yun, there's no time to lose, we need to call the police immediately!" Shen Jingyan said without hesitation.
"Okay, let's go then. Don't tell Grandpa and Mom and Dad yet, so they don't get worried."
Shen Jingyan felt that although Zhou Zhengqing had malicious intentions, he was not so bad as to actually kill someone.
She gripped the note tightly and read it again.
The note was brief and didn't make any demands, which Shen Jingyan found a bit strange.
Just as the two arrived at the police station entrance, another bicycle sped by, leaving behind a note in the same manner.
Gu Zhiyun quickly picked it up.
The note read: I knew you would call the police. Everything was under my control. I'm very angry now.
Shen Jingyan looked up, her heart pounding wildly.
“Brother Yun, this was all planned by Zhou Zhengqing a long time ago. I think we’re already being monitored.”
If they went to the police station to report the crime, some of their underlings would definitely tip Zhou Zhengqing off.
At that point, Zhou Zhengqing will definitely take Xu Yatong to another place, and the police will be left empty-handed.
Gu Zhiyun frowned and turned the note over.
Upon seeing the words on the other side, he was instantly enraged.
It reads in bold on the paper: Jingya, I miss you so much.
Zhou Zhengqing, how dare he covet his wife!
The veins on his forehead bulged, as if he wanted to tear the paper ball to shreds.
But then I thought about it again and decided to preserve the evidence, so I didn't take any action.
No matter how angry you are, you must remain rational at this moment.
Shen Jingyan felt so disgusted she almost vomited.
She understood Zhou Zhengqing's purpose: he wanted to use Xu Yatong's life to threaten her and force her to submit!
"Once Grandpa Qin left, he really became unscrupulous!"
This kind of person must be sent to prison!
As Chen Jingyan calmed down, her mind raced.
Gu Zhiyun had his own ideas, but he respected his wife's opinion. While Shen Jingyan was thinking, he simply held her hand and said nothing.
The wife's method must be the best method.
"Brother Yun, Zhou Zhengqing's henchmen are definitely still watching us. Let's not go to the police station for now."
He calmly said, "Let's do it this way..."
Gu Zhiyun leaned down slightly and whispered his plan in his ear.
Upon hearing this, Gu Zhiyun immediately shook his head: "No, it's too dangerous!"
He smiled calmly and said, "Brother Yun, I can turn axe into a weapon with my bare hands. Eight strong men wouldn't be a match for me. What are you worried about?"
Now that Gu Zhiyun knows she has a magical space, Shen Jingyan no longer needs to secretly exchange items.
Gu Zhiyun had witnessed Shen Jingyan's strength firsthand and knew that she would never let herself suffer a loss.
But how could he not worry about letting his wife go to such a dangerous place alone!
"Jingya, you can't go alone. Let's go home first and discuss it. We're sure we'll find a better solution."
Gu Zhiyun pulled her back.
"Brother Yun, please let me go. If I go, I can calm Zhou Zhengqing down first, so that the rest of the plan can proceed smoothly."
Gu Zhiyun said firmly, "No, I won't let you go alone."
Unable to persuade Gu Zhiyun, Shen Jingyan had no choice but to go home with him.
Even as they reached the entrance of the residential area, Shen Jingyan could still sense that several pairs of eyes were watching them intently from behind.
Upon returning home, Gu Zhiyun immediately dialed the police.
Over the phone, Gu Zhiyun presented the case details clearly and logically.
The police officer on the other end of the phone was taking a statement seriously.
"Comrade Gu, in order to cooperate with the investigation of the case, we need you and your wife to come to the police station. We need to see the note in your hand before we can deploy a rescue plan."
