Chapter 36: The Treatment of Scumbag Fathers
Xie Minyin nearly went crazy when she saw Kang Mingfeng knocking and entering: "How dare you come here to find me!"
“I received word that higher-ups in the public security system are going to inspect various locations. Nian'en's matter can't wait any longer!” This time, Kang Mingfeng's tone was very firm. “Minyin, even a day as husband and wife is worth a hundred days of kindness. I don't want to disturb your current husband, but I want my daughter to be safe and sound!”
Xie Minyin almost ground her teeth to powder: "What can I do?"
“I’ve already thought of a solution for you. You can use your position as the director of the subdistrict office to go to the police station to find out about Nian’en’s situation, and then intervene. Tell the police that you are Shi Yuan’s stepmother and that you can coordinate this matter!”
Shi Yuan's identity was also revealed to him by the police officer who called him.
The other party also said that the institute attaches great importance to this inspection by higher-level leaders, and will open up channels for handling such cases, try to coordinate as much as possible, reduce the number of social cases, and give a relatively good report.
"This is the best opportunity!" Kang Mingfeng was anxious, but he still patiently persuaded her in a low voice, "Minyin, we are already middle-aged. Nian'en is my only child, and she will be yours."
"I'll definitely keep a close eye on her after she gets out." He didn't mention the earlier talk about leaving Beicheng.
“I know Wu Guanhai isn’t good to you, and your brother has also disappeared. Minyin, Nian’en is like you, beautiful and bright, intelligent and perceptive, a very good prospect.”
"She just has a minor flaw in her personality. She has learned her lesson from this experience and this will never happen again."
"Minyin, in the future, when you need support, Nian'en, as your daughter, will have an unshirkable duty to help you!"
Kang Mingfeng rested his hands on the desk, his tone serious and cautious: "I received information that Wu Guanhai has been actively seeking reconciliation with Shi Yuan, hoping to use her influence to get out of the current predicament."
“Minyin, no matter what, they are still connected by blood ties, while you have old grudges with Shiyuan and her mother. Think about it, who will become the sacrifice in this reconciliation?”
It must be said that Kang Mingfeng found the right way to persuade Xie Minyin this time, and she clearly began to waver.
Kang Mingfeng pressed on: "We're all related by blood, Nian'en is the same as you!"
He then added another strong dose of medicine: "A few days ago, I contacted a brother from my former gang. Coincidentally, he was in Qingzhen."
"Minyin, if you help me rescue my daughter, I'll help you find my older brother, okay?"
Xie Minyin couldn't refuse, but she still hesitated: "Can I really get her out if I step in?" What if she gets herself into trouble and still doesn't get her out?
The Wu family is in a state of high alert right now, and she can't afford to give them any leverage at this time.
"Don't worry, I've already checked, it'll definitely work," Kang Mingfeng said immediately. "Your identity is just right."
His tone softened a bit: "Speaking of which, you even helped the police station solve their problem; they should be thanking you."
After much hesitation, Xie Minyin finally went to the police station with Kang Mingfeng.
"Ring ring ring!"
"Hello, Dongcheng District Police Station, please speak!" Kong Fan answered the phone.
Kong Fan was the policeman who delivered the message earlier.
"I am Gu Linyuan." Upon hearing this, Kong Fan immediately straightened his back and said seriously, "Please speak."
A gentle, warm voice came from the other end of the phone: "Shi Yuan already knows about the inspection by higher authorities. As for Kang Nian'en, she is willing to settle and is on her way to deliver the letter of understanding."
"After that, she will drop the charges against Kang Nian'en."
“If anyone comes to Baokang Nian'en, you can release him.”
"Yes, I've noted it down. I will handle this matter personally, so please rest assured."
"Thanks for your hard work."
After hanging up the phone, Kong Fan's heart was still pounding. This much time was enough for him to figure out Shi Yuan's identity. She really was the big shot who subdued the Ghost King as soon as she arrived in Beicheng!
It's not that no one is trying to help Kang Nian'en, but he's been using his family connections to suppress her. Without the big boss's approval, she can't get out.
He'd be a fool not to seize this opportunity to curry favor with the bigwigs.
He did the right thing!
Gu Linyuan! The head of the Seventh Division personally called him!
He can brag about this to his family for the rest of his life!
He doesn't need to know the boss's purpose; he just needs to carry out the boss's orders properly!
Almost the instant he hung up the phone, he walked out of his office and stood guard in the lobby, waiting for the people who came to Baokang Nian'en, and even more so, to receive that big shot Shi Yuan as soon as possible!
Xie Minyin and Kang Mingfeng arrived earlier than Shi Yuan, which was inevitable, as they lived closer to each other.
What if Kang Mingfeng fails to persuade Xie Minyin?
it's out of the question.
The person who called Kang Mingfeng made it clear that Kang Mingfeng would stop at nothing to get Xie Minyin to the police station.
Kong Fan personally received them, in a very formal and serious manner. He even inquired about the details of Xie Minyin's mediation of the conflict and carefully took notes for both of them to sign.
"Alright, you can take the person away first, but they cannot leave Beicheng. If Comrade Xie cannot mediate, we will intervene at any time."
"Thank you for your trouble, officers." Xie Minyin nodded repeatedly and shook hands with Kong Fan to say goodbye.
At that moment, Wu Guanhai's car happened to stop at the entrance of the Dongcheng District Police Station.
Shi Yuan didn't get off the bus immediately, but suddenly asked, "Did you really make the sweet soup yourself?"
Wu Guanhai immediately sensed that Shi Yuan still had expectations of him as her father, and he nodded hurriedly: "I got up early this morning to cook it myself."
"Your cooking skills are pretty good. I could smell the aroma just now."
Just as Wu Guanhai put on a smile, Shi Yuan continued, "You must have brewed quite a bit for your wife over the years, right?"
"Then you two are quite a loving couple," Shi Yuan said with a nonchalant smile. "If you had a child, it would probably be even more perfect, wouldn't it?"
Wu Guanhai wanted to say that Xie Minyin was no match for Shi Ling in any way. If she hadn't lied to him about being pregnant back then, he would never have divorced Shi Ling. They were childhood sweethearts, and it wasn't so easy to break off their bond.
Before he could finish speaking, Shi Yuan exclaimed, "Huh? This woman's parents really have some influence. My letter of leniency hasn't even been delivered yet, and her parents have already gotten her out of trouble."
"What?" Wu Guanhai subconsciously looked towards the entrance of the police station and saw a bright-looking young girl holding his wife Xie Minyin's arm, her face full of affection and dependence, while the tall and refined man beside them was looking at them with pity.
What a harmonious family of three!
If that woman wasn't his wife!
"This woman is really good at this; she's inherited all the good qualities from her parents," Shi Yuan remarked. "Oh well, she's so much younger than me, I won't hold it against her."
Strangely, it wasn't until she met Kang Nian'en in person that Shi Yuan realized there was an age difference between them.
It was only then that she realized, "That's right, Kang Nian'en is at least nine years younger than me. Even if I take the Soul Jade to the Wu family to recognize my kinship, how could the Wu family not recognize me?"
They are nine years apart, not nine months apart!
Shi Yuan glanced at Wu Guanhai with a half-smile, wondering what had happened in the story that made Wu Guanhai wear this green hat so tightly.
Outside the story, at this moment, the anger and murderous intent in Wu Guanhai's eyes were almost bursting out!
Shi Yuan added fuel to the fire, exclaiming, "Seventeen or eighteen is truly the best age!"
Seventeen or eighteen, this was very important to Wu Guanhai, so important that he would realize that he not only couldn't solve the external troubles, but he had also been completely unaware of the internal problems.
Those who are green will always be greened by others!
Shi Yuan really wanted to know what kind of expression Wu Guanhai would have when he found out he had been cuckolded for over ten years.
That would be amazing.
When the family of three walked to the car, Shi Yuan opened the passenger door: "Oh, I haven't even delivered the letter of understanding yet, and you've already come out?"
"It seems that the North City is indeed full of hidden talents."
Shi Yuan was the person Kang Nian'en hated most in her seventeen years of life, without exception. Now, still young and impetuous, upon hearing Shi Yuan's sentiments, she raised her head, tightened her grip on Xie Minyin's arm, and said with a proud expression, "Country bumpkin, scared now!"
"Mom and Dad, she's the one who bullied me! You have to avenge me!"
Upon hearing this, Xie Minyin felt a chill run down her spine. She wanted to pull her hand away and say that she was not Kang Nian'en's mother, but it was too late. The driver's side door opened, and Wu Guanhai got out of the car with a green face.
He gave Xie Minyin a deep look, then smiled and said to Shi Yuan, "Would you like me to come in with you?"
"No need." Wu Guanhai had completed his task for the day and could leave. Shi Yuan said with a smile, "I'll be busy until very late, you can go back now." After saying that, she walked into the police station without looking back.
She seemed unaware of the complex relationship between the four people behind her, and it was as if she wasn't the one who brought Wu Guanhai to this family of three.
According to the original plan, Wu Guanhai was determined to cultivate some father-daughter relationship with Shi Yuan today, but now, it is clear that plans cannot keep up with changes.
He knew, of course, that the best course of action in this situation was to continue with his plan for the day, ignoring the eyesore of the "family of three." However, he wasn't stupid; he had a feeling that Shi Yuan knew everything.
He smiled bitterly, laughing at himself for being caught up in the situation but failing to see through it.
Gu Linyuan values Shi Yuan so much. He is a member of the Gu family and the director of the First Division. He has seen all kinds of good things. Although he put a lot of thought into his birthday gift, does Gu Linyuan really like it?
He actually wanted to deceive himself, to tell himself that the original intention of this carefully planned "chance encounter" was that Shi Yuan couldn't bear to see his old father being deceived.
But Wu Guanhai has never realized more clearly than now that Shi Yuan hates him, truly hates him, and this hatred is tinged with the mockery and contempt of a superior.
He is no longer the same Wu Guanhai who could control the fate of his mother and daughter more than ten years ago!
He was even quite certain that if he continued to pester her, Shi Yuan would not hesitate to expose his shameful affair on the spot.
"Xie Minyin, get in the car." Wu Guanhai's tone was sharply divided between a menacing calm and a menacing calm.
He couldn't do anything about Shi Yuan, but he still had the ability to do something for Xie Minyin and the Xie family.
Wu Guanhai's voice was neither too loud nor too soft, just loud enough for Shi Yuan to hear. A pleasant smile appeared on her lips as she stepped into the office lobby.
Xie Minyin felt a chill run down her spine. She could roughly predict what would happen after getting into the car with Wu Guanhai. Subconsciously, she looked at Kang Mingfeng and then at Kang Nian'en. She didn't know what she was expecting.
All she knew was that when she saw the father and daughter both avoiding her gaze, she wasn't surprised at all.
He really is a bad seed!
She got into the car expressionlessly. Wu Guanhai gave Kang Mingfeng and his daughter a deep look, memorized them, sneered, and closed the driver's side door.
"Dad, what should we do?"
Kang Mingfeng originally wanted to tell them to leave Beicheng immediately, but they were still at the police station entrance, and the police had just said that they were not allowed to leave Beicheng for the time being.
Kang Mingfeng's hair stood on end; he felt as if he were in a fog he could not fathom.
His instincts, honed from years of risking his life, told him: Danger!
He watched the car drive away, then turned to look at Shi Yuan, who had already entered the office hall. His fingers unconsciously twitched, a habit he used to have when he wanted to kill someone.
This subconscious habit had allowed him to preemptively avoid many life-or-death crises.
So, is this also a life-or-death crisis?
So what is his crisis?
Is it Wu Guanhai, who has already left, or Shi Yuan, who has entered the office hall?
Xie Minyin, who also sensed a major crisis, sat stiffly against the car seat. She opened her mouth as if to explain that people can look alike and that she and Kang Nian'en were not related.
She could even produce proof that Kang Nian'en was an abandoned baby. She wanted to say that the Wu family was a family of metaphysical scholars. Was it possible that Kang Nian'en looked like her because she was her age and could be considered her savior?
But she couldn't utter a single word.
She knew that Wu Guanhai wouldn't believe it; he was stubborn and only believed what he wanted to believe.
Moreover, if we really want to investigate what happened back then, we will definitely be able to find out the truth.
At this moment, Xie Minyin's longing for Xie Minzhi reached its peak. Her brother was smarter than her. If he were here, he would definitely know what to do.
"Are you thinking that if your older brother were here, he might be able to help you come up with some ideas?" Wu Guanhai's gloomy voice reached her ears, and Xie Minyin felt a jolt!
"Guanhai, I..."
"What are you trying to say?" Wu Guanhai parked the car at the gate of the yard, his hands on the steering wheel, and turned to look at Xie Minyin. "Are you trying to say that the girl wasn't your child?"
He gave a cryptic chuckle: "I have eyes, I can see for myself."
We should thank this "family of three" for being in the same frame, otherwise he wouldn't have imagined that the hat on his head was dripping with green!
This is truly the ultimate in the series!
He became a father-in-law, and his wife had a seventeen-year-old daughter!
What a coincidence, they've been married for almost seventeen years!
"So, you really were pregnant back then." But it wasn't his. Wu Guanhai chuckled briefly. "Let me think, right after we got married, I received a long business trip assignment."
That task was specifically assigned to him by his superiors.
"So, you were keeping someone else's pregnancy in my house during that time."
He sighed deeply: "Xie Minyin, Xie Minyin, how come I didn't know you were so bold!"
"Get out of the car, let's have a good chat." The tone was casual, as if it really was just a casual conversation.
"Guanhai, I can explain this matter." Xie Minyin held the door handle without getting out of the car. Wu Guanhai was a man who cared about his reputation. Talking in public would at least guarantee that he wouldn't resort to violence.
"Come home, and I'll listen to your explanation." His voice was gentle and restrained, but his eyes were full of pressure.
"Let's talk in the car," Xie Minyin struggled.
"You want everyone to know I've been cheated on?"
Xie Minyin forced a smile, stiffened as she got out of the car, her toes pointing outwards. She was somewhat relieved that she was wearing flat shoes today, but Wu Guanhai's words froze her in place.
"If you don't want to know where your brother is, then go ahead and run."
Xie Minyin followed Wu Guanhai into the familiar house. The door closed, shutting out the last rays of the setting sun.
Shi Yuan handed the letter of understanding to Kong Fan, exchanged a few polite words with him, and walked out of the police station with a smile. Gu Linyuan's car was already waiting outside.
"Shi Yuan, get in the car quickly! Let's do something naughty while the night is dark and the wind is high!" Huan Ni said excitedly.
Shi Yuan glanced at the still-sunset sun, smiled helplessly, and got into the car as instructed.
Gu Linyuan's arrival to pick her up was unexpected. She asked, "Why did you come here?" Was he really going to do something bad?
"Didn't I just say? Go do something bad!" Huan Ni gave her a look that said, "You don't understand human language."
"What bad thing are you doing?" Shi Yuan asked curiously.
"We're the Revenge Alliance, what kind of bad things do you think we should do?" Huan Ni rolled her eyes. "Of course, we're going to put sacks on people and beat them up to vent our anger!"
The words came out of nowhere, and Shi Yuan didn't understand. She looked at Gu Linyuan, who had a smile on his lips, and asked with a smile while fastening her seatbelt.
"Let's grab something to eat first, then we can talk," Gu Linyuan said. Huan Ni immediately chimed in, "How about Old Mo's Restaurant? Steak and red wine?"
"Yes, the steak over there is really good." This was said to Shi Yuan.
Shi Yuan: ...Is this all going after Old Mo's restaurant?
“Then let’s go,” Shi Yuan said with a smile. “It’s my treat. Thank you for helping me collect so much information.”
“Okay, then I’ll treat you next time.” Gu Linyuan’s smile widened.
Huan Ni glanced at Gu Linyuan, who was grinning like a cat that had stolen cream, and Shi Yuan, who was staring blankly out the car window at the receding scenery, and shook her head in a mocking manner.
The falling blossoms yearn for the flowing water, yet the water remains oblivious.
As the moon gradually climbed into the sky, Wu Guanhai put away his blood-dripping belt and pulled the gag out of Xie Minyin's mouth: "Now, can you tell me the truth?"
"Tell me first, how exactly is my brother?" Xie Minyin said, her lips trembling.
As soon as she entered the door, before Xie Minyin could even speak, she was tied up by Wu Guanhai and then subjected to hours of torture. She thought she was going to be beaten to death!
At that moment, she was absolutely certain that something had happened to her brother, otherwise Wu Guanhai would never have dared to treat her like this!
"You're really devoted to your brother, aren't you?" Wu Guanhai threw down his belt, walked behind his desk, poured himself a glass of wine, and downed it in one gulp. "Unfortunately, in your brother's eyes, you're just an easy-to-use fool."
"You're talking nonsense!" Xie Minyin collapsed to the ground, powerless. "My brother is the best to me."
“You’re someone your brother picked up from who-knows-where.” Wu Guanhai’s smile was laced with deep malice. “From the time you were old enough to understand, he’s instilled in you the idea that he’s the only person you can trust and rely on, hasn’t he?”
"Nonsense!" Xie Minyin closed her eyes.
"You think he's nice to you, but actually he wants to control you and make you work for him."
"If he truly cared for you, how could he let you become a mistress in someone else's marriage and have your life stained with that mark?"
"Because only in this way can you continue to rely on and depend on him!"
"Over the years, you've been sneaking peeks at a lot of documents from my study, haven't you?"
"I was really stupid. I thought you were willing to follow me even without a formal relationship, and that you were always sincere towards me." Wu Guanhai laughed self-deprecatingly. "I never even suspected you."
It was indeed a precaution, but the precautions weren't that strict.
He stepped forward and stood in front of Xie Minyin: "Do you know? It was your good older brother who instructed someone to report me!"
"impossible!"
Why did he do that?
"Yes, I don't understand either, just like I don't understand why he would appear in Qingzhen."
He was a very suspicious person, so he had someone send Xie Minzhi a false message about the whereabouts of the treasure, leading him to an abandoned warehouse.
"You and your siblings are both quite tough."
"By the way, that's how I slapped him that day."
"Of course, I hit you much harder than when you whipped me, I even broke the belt, but he still wouldn't open his mouth."
"Luckily, I had a dagger with me."
"Stop talking! Please, stop talking!"
"Haven't you always wanted to know where your older brother is?"
"Now that I've told you, why are you still unhappy?"
"Xie Minyin, you siblings are really something, each of you treating me like a fool and a sucker."
"You're even more capable, you even managed to have a child!"
"My brother?"
"Don't worry, he's still my brother-in-law, I found him an auspicious burial site." Wu Guanhai whispered in Xie Minyin's ear, "I buried him myself!"
"Big brother!" Xie Minyin was on the verge of tears, the beating she had just endured had left her with no tears left to cry. "Gu Guanhai, how dare you!"
Didn't you hear what I just said?
"I said, he instructed someone to file a formal complaint against me!"
"Your eldest brother deserves a lot of credit for how the Wu family and I have achieved what we have today!"
"You're also a member of the Wu family. Did he consider your feelings when he did all this?"
"Xie Minyin, you are just a tool he used to seduce me with sex. It's ridiculous that I actually fell for it and divorced my husband for you, causing me to become estranged from my only child."
Xie Minyin said something in a low voice.
"What did you say?"
"I said, you deserve it!" Xie Minyin said fiercely to Wu Guanhai, "Back when Shi Yuan was an idiot, you didn't hesitate at all to let Shi Ling take her away."
"Your regret now about not having a father-daughter relationship with her isn't because you've had a change of heart and want to make amends, but because her status and position could have benefited you and the Wu family, yet you haven't gotten any of it!"
"Wu Guanhai, admit it, you're a despicable man!"
"So what?" Wu Guanhai took another sip of wine. "Even if I'm down on my luck, I'm still capable of dealing with you and your useless brother."
"Your brother is stubborn. He only confessed some trivial things before he died. Why don't you tell me who's behind your brother?"
"I have no idea!"
"Then think it over carefully." Wu Guanhai held his wine glass, looked out at the night, and sighed deeply. "I'm about to lose everything. Before that, I have to bring down the people who harmed me."
"Xie Minyin, think it over carefully. I'll wait for you until dawn."
"If you still don't tell me by dawn, I'll bring your nephews and nieces to keep you company."
"You're insane!"
"How old are they? They don't know anything!"
"Then tell me everything you know."
"Are you thinking that your brother didn't say anything just to protect them?"
He looked at Xie Minyin's knowing expression, then sneered, "Have you ever considered that besides the person behind you making a move, I might also make a move?"
He hadn't touched the Xie family before not because he didn't want to, but because saving the Wu family and saving himself was more important.
Now, not only is Shi Yuan's path blocked, but she might also use the power of the Seventh Bureau to suppress him and the Wu family. Neither the Wu family nor he has a future!
"Make a decision quickly, I'm waiting for you!" He drank another glass of wine.
The wine glasses clinked lightly, and Shi Yuan and Gu Linyuan took a sip of red wine to savor it. Shi Yuan's eyes flashed with amazement, and she sincerely exclaimed that there were so many delicious things to eat and drink in this world!
She leaned slightly closer to Gu Linyuan and asked in a low voice, "Now can we talk about putting the sacks on it?"
Gu Linyuan followed Shi Yuan's example and leaned closer: "Go and put the sack over Gu Zhao's head."
Shi Yuan raised an eyebrow: "Seriously?"
Gu Linyuan nodded solemnly: "I was narrow-minded before, always thinking about finding evidence to bring those two people to justice."
"But so many years have passed, and the chances of finding evidence are getting slimmer and slimmer, and the anger I feel in my heart is getting heavier and heavier."
"I think Huanni is right. Let's not worry about right or wrong for now. Let's just enjoy ourselves and get revenge. Only when we're happy will we have the motivation to keep living!"
"Shi Yuan, I'm afraid I might lose control and kill someone. Please hold me back if that happens."
Shi Yuan nodded solemnly: "Okay!" With Gu Linyuan's strength, he really needs to find someone as powerful as her to keep him in check, otherwise, he might easily beat someone to death!
A dark cloud had somehow appeared in front of the moon.
In the pitch-black night, under the dim yellow streetlights, Gu Zhao smiled knowingly as he looked at the gift bag in the passenger seat. Inside was a cosmetics set that his wife had specifically requested, which he had asked someone to bring back from abroad.
He knew that doing such a thing was very risky, but it was all worth it to make his wife smile.
In that moment of distraction, a car suddenly appeared in his field of vision, so close that he slammed on the brakes and barely avoided a collision.
But due to the sudden braking, the gift bag on the passenger side fell onto the car, spilling its contents.
Gu Zhao frowned, his eyes filled with suppressed anger. His gift, his sentiments, had been ruined just like that!
He really wanted to get out of the car and argue with the person, to yell at them or even beat them up to vent his anger, but he quickly regained his composure.
The streetlights where he parked were broken, and there was a small alley next to it filled with miscellaneous items. If someone was hiding behind the alley, they wouldn't be visible from the outside.
The driver of the car in front hasn't gotten out yet, nor does he seem to intend to leave.
Most importantly, there was a red paper pasted on the license plate of the car in front, which read "Good News Today," completely obscuring the license plate number.
But for some reason, he felt that the car in front of him was very familiar.
In this situation, there was no way he could get out of the car. The next second, he started reversing, ready to follow his brain's instructions and leave immediately!
But it was too late.
"Knock knock knock!"
There was a knock on the car window. He turned his head and saw that the person knocking on the window was wearing an exaggerated top hat and had a strangely distorted body. He was gesturing for him to get out of the car.
He'd never get off the bus!
Gu Zhao pressed the accelerator hard, but the car didn't budge, even though he could clearly hear the engine and wheels running!
"Knock knock knock!"
Gu Zhao rubbed his temples, feeling like he was going crazy, actually hearing a hint of pleasure and mischief in the sound of knocking on the car window.
Although he hadn't accomplished much in his life, he considered himself knowledgeable and experienced, and believed his life had been far more eventful than that of his peers in Beicheng who had climbed the social ladder by relying on their families' connections.
A smile played on his lips; he hadn't experienced this adrenaline rush in decades.
The last time I had this experience was when I met Feng Qing.
A surprising glint appeared in the eyes of this refined, low-key, and composed middle-aged man who appeared elegant to outsiders, as he slammed on the gas pedal.
Gu Zhao had witnessed Feng Qing at her most powerful, and he always felt that the Seventh Division was all talk and no action, as well as Shi Yuan, who made a name for himself as soon as he arrived in Beicheng and quelled the Ghost King's crisis.
He had personally fabricated rumors, so he knew better than anyone that the essence of rumors was exaggeration.
He asked Feng Qing, and Feng Qing told him that there are no powerful demons in this era.
The so-called Ghost King Rebellion was probably just Gu Linyuan creating momentum for the Seventh Division.
Indeed, in this day and age, there are countless people who want to abolish the Seventh Division, but everyone has their reservations, after all, the Seventh Division does have its merits.
However, Gu Zhao never bought it. No one knew better than him what level the so-called alien demons were. In fact, back then, he personally witnessed his youngest son being transformed into an alien demon by Feng Qing through blood transfusion.
What else can his youngest son do besides smashing the decorations in his impotent rage?
So when faced with this strange situation, Gu Zhao not only remained calm but also felt a sense of excitement, as if he had been living a peaceful life for too long and was finally encountering something exciting.
However, the car did not carry him through the obstacle or out of the strange corner as he had hoped. The car engine roared and the tires spun rapidly, but it did not move an inch.
Nonsense, Shi Meili is supporting the car with her vines underneath. If she makes the car move even a little, she'll consider it a loss, okay?
"Knock, knock, knock!" The knocking on the car window grew louder.
A bead of cold sweat rolled down Gu Zhao's forehead. Things didn't seem to be quite the same as he had imagined!
But he remembered that Feng Qing, apart from knowing some minor magic tricks, was even more delicate than the average woman. She definitely didn't have the ability to stop a car!
Huan Ni, completely hidden by the top hat, glanced at Shi Meili: Why isn't he coming down? Didn't Gu Linyuan say that he was least afraid of encountering strange things and would get to the bottom of things?
Shi Meili declared: Watch me!
The sound of "creak! creak!" reached his ears, and the sweat on Gu Zhao's forehead thickened even more.
To his horrified surprise, his beloved imported car, touted as bulletproof, had a hole drilled into its undercarriage, and a small, bright red flower seemed to be waving at him.
Gu Zhao's grip on the doorknob began to tremble. Who would be so kind as to drill a hole in someone else's car?
Feng Qing couldn't do it!
This isn't right! This is different from what he knew and what Feng Qing told him!
The little flower slowly approached Gu Zhao. It was in full bloom, with its stamens opening and closing. If it weren't so small, Gu Zhao would have no doubt that the flower could swallow him whole!
This can't be real!
Feng Qingming clearly stated that she was already the most powerful being among the strange demons, and that if he were to be touched by her aura, all the strange demons in the world would be afraid of him.
She also said that he was tall and mighty, and that even if he encountered a powerful demon, he could knock it down with one punch.
But Feng Qing never told him that the strange demon could drill a hole in his car!
Even if he's incredibly arrogant, he wouldn't think his penis is harder than a car!
"Help!" Gu Zhao pressed himself against the car door, trying to get as far away from Xiao Hua as possible.
But Little Flower clearly didn't think so. It swayed its body and slowly approached Gu Zhao, getting closer and closer.
It's kind of like a car kiss.
Just as Gu Zhao thought Xiao Hua was about to do something to him, "click" Xiao Hua opened the car door.
Gu Zhao: ...
Gu Zhao breathed a sigh of relief; it was good that it wasn't a sexual assault.
But clearly, he let his guard down too soon.
Fortunately, he hadn't forgotten why he had been sitting in the car, flooring the accelerator.
"Creak~" The door of the imported car was gently pushed open by Xiaohua.
Gu Zhao's pupils contracted, and he slowly turned his head to meet a pair of dark, emotionless, beady eyes.
What an extraordinary demon this is!
Bean-like eyes, a tiny head, a twisted body, and it even blooms!
He rolled his eyes, using all his self-control to keep telling himself that Feng Qing sensed his danger and would come to his rescue immediately, which prevented him from fainting.
Shi Meili stretched out her slender tendrils and slowly wrapped around Gu Zhao's neck, climbing up to his face.
Gu Zhao stared at the vines in utter horror, his mind blank. Only when he felt the icy coldness on his face did his brain remember to give the command "escape!"
Gu Zhao pushed aside the strange demon blocking the car door, shouting loudly to bolster his courage, and ran with all his might toward the light.
"Done!" Huan Ni and Shi Meili gave each other a high five inside their coats. Their task was to get Gu Zhao out of the car.
They didn't break any of the rules of the Seventh Division; they just wanted to say hello to Gu Zhao and didn't hurt him at all.
As for the hole drilled in the car?
The seventh point only says you can't attack people, it never says you can't attack cars!
Success is not enough to simply retire; their assistance will be indispensable in the following matters.
When is a person at their most desperate?
Others may not know, but he can tell you with certainty that the most desperate moment in his life was when he reached out and touched the light, thinking that taking just one more step would allow him to escape the bizarre darkness.
But what awaited him was a sudden blackout, a heavy kick to the back, and the world plunging back into complete darkness.
After that, he felt a sharp pain in the back of his head and lost consciousness.
Shi Yuan threw away the wooden stick and shrugged: "I thought he was some kind of formidable figure, but I didn't expect him to be neither easily intimidated nor easily beaten."
Beautiful vines snaked down from the ground, wrapped around Gu Zhao's ankles, and dragged him backward. All that remained where Gu Zhao had been lying was a tattered burlap sack.
Shi Yuan and Gu Linyuan certainly wouldn't just put a sack over Gu Zhao and beat him up to vent their anger.
Once revenge begins, you have to strike at the heart of the problem; otherwise, it won't be satisfying.
Wu Guanhai cares most about his future and the Wu family. As for Gu Zhao? In Gu Linyuan's words, this person is extremely selfish and has his own set of logic in dealing with people and things. He cannot be defeated by external forces.
To get rid of him, you have to shatter his perceptions and destroy his will.
Today's sack-tying is just a side dish; the real main course is the one Meili used to scare him.
Gu Linyuan said that Gu Zhao was one of the few people in the Beicheng circle who felt that the Seventh Division was undeserving of its name.
Over the years, Master Gu has focused on cultivating his second son, Gu Zhao, while keeping him in a low-level government office. It's not as the outside world says, that he ruined his future for a woman.
Ultimately, it was because Old Master Gu knew Gu Zhao's character well and feared that his high position would make him even more arrogant and give rise to inappropriate thoughts, leading him to fantasize about abolishing the Seventh Division and expelling Gu Linyuan.
Many times, even Grandpa Gu had no idea what his eldest son was thinking.
Just like the Ghost King's rebellion last time, when everyone was relieved that Shi Yuan had quelled the situation, only he shamelessly said that Shi Yuan only knew some underhanded tricks.
Fortunately, his words were kept within the Gu family and did not get out.
The seventh branch already has Gu Linyuan, who is eyeing the Gu family covetously. If there is another hostile Shi Yuan, Old Master Gu thinks he will have a heart attack!
Fortunately, he had put a lot of effort into cultivating Gu Linfeng over the years. As long as Gu Linfeng was around, Gu Linyuan wouldn't do anything to the Gu family, and his position as the head of the Seventh Division was also a constraint.
Unfortunately, Shi Yuan was the variable.
Both fathers are scumbags, so why can Gu Zhao live a carefree life?
When Gu Zhao woke up, she was sitting perfectly fine in her car. The cosmetics that should have been scattered on the passenger seat were neatly placed in a gift bag.
It was as if everything last night was just an illusion, but his eyes were fixed on the steering wheel, on which was wrapped a bright red, flamboyant little flower!
