"Gu Qingyan, do you believe me?"
Xu Zhaozhao clenched her hands back, both hands tightly interlocked, neither willing to give way.
She looked up and met Gu Qingyan's eyes.
"If he dies, I will disappear."
Her voice was so soft, it seemed unreal.
Although Gu Qingyan didn't hear the whole conversation, he didn't hide the beginning from him.
He's so smart, how could he not have guessed it?
How could I not know that 'Xu Zhaozhao' is different from before?
The bug that possessed her body had bipolar disorder, his personality changed every day, and amnesia was a common occurrence.
Her arrival seemed less abrupt, and the crowd accepted it well.
Just because it doesn't seem out of place doesn't mean it's not true.
As expected, Xu Zhaozhao only said two sentences before Gu Qingyan fell silent.
The two remained silent for about three minutes.
“Dad is very angry. He said he wants to interrogate the person himself. I can’t just let him go like this…”
Gu Qingyan still had a cold face and turned his head away, but he had already made a great concession.
"If Dad agrees, I agree too."
His own energy is limited, and company matters are urgent.
Gu Qingyan didn't try to be brave; he immediately notified Xu Mingxu, as they needed to rely on Xu Mingxu's help to build a "safe house."
He hasn't gone far these past few days, staying just around the villa, his mind highly focused, and the slightest sound can wake him up.
Xu Mingxu, a doting father to his daughter, had been holding back his anger for the past few days, just waiting for him to bring the girl to him.
Xu Zhaozhao nodded and took out her phone. "Then I'll call my dad."
It was still a WeChat call.
The father and daughter hadn't exchanged a single message on WeChat, so Xu Zhaozhao made a phone call directly.
The call was answered almost instantly, but no one spoke.
"dad."
Xu Zhaozhao called out in that direction, and only after hearing a soft "hmm" did she realize that the call had been answered.
Only then did he cautiously ask, "Dad, can you let Yin Qi go?"
"You know him?"
"Hmm...he won't do that again..."
She could at least have a reason to argue with Gu Qingyan, but what reason could she possibly have to argue with Xu Mingxu?
"Can."
Xu Zhaozhao was still thinking of a reason when Xu Mingxu's sudden agreement disrupted her plans.
"Ah...ah?" Xu Zhaozhao blurted out two interjections in disbelief.
"I said yes, release them."
Xu Mingxu repeated it very patiently.
Gu Qingyan thought he was already easily swayed, but his father-in-law was still his father-in-law, even more easily swayed than him.
Xu Zhaozhao couldn't help but smile and said into the microphone, "Thank you, Dad. You are the best dad in the universe!"
The words of praise had barely left his lips when, for some reason, the person on the other end of the line had the phone abruptly hung up.
He indulged his daughter's demands only because he was confident that even if Yin Qi came back again, he could still protect his daughter.
Xu Zhaozhao put down her phone, nudged Gu Qingyan, and gestured for him to remove Yin Qi's shackles.
Since Xu Mingxu had already agreed, Gu Qingyan didn't insist any further and took out the key.
After untying Yin Qi's hands, she threw him the key and told him to untie his feet himself.
Yin Qi didn't dwell on these minor details and deftly unlocked the shackles on his feet.
The shackles left faint marks on his hands and feet—completely from Gu Qingyan's kick.
He planned to kill his wife and children, but Gu Qingyan kicked him back...
It's fine to just wipe the slate clean like this.
Do you need your wound treated?
Xu Zhaozhao noticed that he was staring at the injury and spoke up.
The doctor had just arrived, and Xu Zhaozhao was already fine.
Whether it was when she fired a bullet at Song Jin last time or when she was almost hit this time, Xu Zhaozhao was not as afraid as she had imagined.
Perhaps this is easy to explain.
She may have been exposed to it when she was very young; it was something she was familiar with—but she forgot it.
"I'm waiting for my driver to pick me up."
Yin Qi deliberately pulled up the sleeves of his hoodie to reveal his scars.
"Without a bit of self-inflicted suffering, I might not even be able to get into Tian Tian's house."
He was still angry with him because he suspected Gu Yulin of ruining the cake last time.
Xu Zhaozhao: ...
As expected of "The CEO's Life Is Given to His Little Wife".
Not long after, Yin Qi's driver picked him up.
After watching him leave, Xu Zhaozhao was led inside by Gu Qingyan.
Upon entering the living room, I found Gu Yulin looking serious, holding Chunshan and staring at the bullet in the iron basin.
The area was surrounded by doctors.
Who would have thought that the urgent summons they received was to remove bullets from a wall?!
A group of professors, scalpels in hand, painstakingly dug into the wall before finally managing to remove the bullet.
Good paper.
Doctors also need to pursue further studies in civil engineering.
Gu Qingyan approached and gestured with his eyes for the doctors to leave with the bullets—he didn't intend for Gu Yulin to be exposed to these things so early.
He stopped focusing on the strange object, put the kitten down, and came to Xu Zhaozhao's side. "Mom, are you feeling better?"
"Mom's okay now."
Xu Zhaozhao rubbed his head, squatted down, and said to Yu Yu with a smile, "It was just a nightmare."
These are the words Gu Yulin said to her.
Gu Yulin smiled and nodded emphatically.
It's not that I'm not worried about my mother anymore, it's just that having Gu Qingyan around makes me feel at ease.
...
The signal and internet in the villa were restored when Yin Qi was caught—otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to make a phone call.
Xu Zhaozhao's phone kept receiving messages, looking rather pitiful on the rather empty carpet.
"Um……"
She was pinned against the door by Gu Qingyan, her hands raised high, her wrists gripped, her vision filled with darkness, surrounded by his presence.
The more Xu Zhaozhao pushed him, the more fiercely he kissed her.
They finally separated, but that wasn't his limit; it was Xu Zhaozhao's limit.
His face was flushed, his eyes were brimming with tears, his lips were slightly pursed, and his hair was disheveled... every detail was enough to drive him mad.
He used all his self-control to close his eyes, pulled Xu Zhaozhao into his arms, and pressed his lips to her ear.
"I miss you so much, my wife..."
For a whole week, I felt like I couldn't go home; it was awful.
His large hand restlessly caressed her back, his lips lightly pecking at her neck, but before he could go any further, Xu Zhaozhao pressed him down.
He pressed his forehead against Xu Zhaozhao's like a pitiful little thing, so close that the lust in his eyes was undisguised.
"Wife..."
Xu Zhaozhao's legs went weak from his flirting, but she still managed to stand up.
There are two things in the world that cannot be hidden: love and exhaustion.
His body was already overloaded.
She sighed softly to herself, placed her hand on the back of his head, and patted it gently, her voice low.
"Little pig, it's time for you to go to sleep."
