Chapter 868 Kong Chi Extra (11)
He unconsciously gripped his phone tighter.
Just then, a beeping sound came from the kitchen on the other end of the broadcast, and then Kong Chi heard the broadcaster say, "My porridge is ready, wait for me."
After saying that, there was no further sound.
Kong Chi suddenly had an impulse to call Gu Zhixu.
However, before any action could be taken, the camera on the screen suddenly spun around.
Immediately afterwards, the host's voice came through the screen: "Mimi, you're being naughty again!!!"
It turns out that the streamer's pet cat bumped into the camera while doing parkour.
And just like that, the anchor's body immediately entered the frame.
The moment Kong Chi saw the person in the camera's view, his pupils constricted sharply—
The girl on the screen—and she was definitely a girl, because she looked very young—was clearly a young girl.
She had her hair tied in a bun, her face was bare of makeup, and her skin was fair and delicate, though perhaps due to illness, it still had a slight pinkish tinge.
She was wearing a very casual light blue nightgown and looked a little tired. At that moment, she was holding a long-haired chinchilla cat and giving it a good "lecture," completely unaware that the camera had captured her entire body in the frame.
Kong Chi looked at the face in front of him, whose attire was completely different from his usual appearance, yet he could still recognize it at a glance. The veins on the back of his hand, which was gripping his phone, bulged involuntarily.
Gu Zhixu.
It really is her!!!
Although the repeated coincidences had given him a premonition, nothing was as impactful as witnessing this moment with his own eyes.
Just then, his phone rang.
It was the driver calling. Kong Chi put it on speakerphone and heard the driver's surprised voice: "Mr. Chi, I've found out who that streamer is!"
Kong Chi stared intently at the screen and said in a deep voice, "No need to say anything, I understand."
After hanging up the phone, he watched as Gu Zhixu finally realized he was in the shot, let out a small exclamation, and then quickly adjusted the camera.
Then, amidst a barrage of comments like "Sister, marry me!", "Sister is so beautiful!", and "Sister Ban is so young!", she jokingly said, "Everyone, please excuse my rudeness. Please don't take pictures or record the screen. If my boss finds out I'm live-streaming, I'm doomed."
The comments were very friendly, with most saying they wouldn't take screenshots, except for Kong Chi.
He has ten thousand comments he wants to post right now.
For example: Do you really have that many complaints about your boss? Do you really feel that your boss often exploits you? Why don't you speak up when you're uncomfortable? Have you really demystified your job and your boss?
However, despite having many questions swirling in his mind, Kong Chi ultimately didn't utter a single word.
He simply hung up his phone, dejected.
Everything that happened today was enough for him to realize that Gu Zhixu could be considered a mind reader.
From the smallest details like what he likes to eat and his usual clothing size, to the biggest things like his way of thinking and his work habits, everything is crystal clear, from top to bottom and inside to out, and everything is arranged perfectly for him.
But what about him?
He seemed to know absolutely nothing about this assistant who had been by his side for three years.
He got the other person's shoe size wrong.
He never saw through the awkwardness and exhaustion behind the other person's constant smile.
He naturally assumed that this was due to her good work and that her excellent teamwork was a testament to her abilities, forgetting how much effort she had put in behind the scenes.
He thought about it carefully and even forgot about the time in the live stream when she complained that he made her take a taxi to the airport in the heavy rain and that he had severely criticized her for being late.
At that moment, he suddenly realized that he might actually be a terrible boss.
...
Kong Chi spent the whole day in a daze, not even wanting to work overtime, and surprisingly went home at seven o'clock in the evening.
He received a call from the driver that evening.
"Mr. Chi! Miss Gu is in trouble!"
Kong Chi was stunned for a moment, thinking he had misheard.
Gu Zhixu, wasn't she doing a good live stream this morning? How could something have happened? What happened?
The driver then sent him a link, which was a replay of her live stream from today.
It turns out that during her live stream tonight, someone suddenly knocked on the door, and then the sound of an argument could be heard in the live stream.
Judging from the sounds, it seems that Gu Zhixu was arguing with someone.
Then someone rushed in and smashed a lot of things. In the midst of the chaos, the live stream was cut off.
Many people online are worried about her, but no one knows what happened to her.
Only the driver, knowing the streamer's identity, spent the entire day in Gu Zhixu's live stream out of curiosity and witnessed the scene that night. He then quickly sent the information to Kong Chi.
Kong Chi stared at the video for a moment, then without further delay, grabbed his car keys and rushed out of the room.
...
Gu Zhixu was in a very disheveled state when he came out of the police station.
She was still wearing her pajamas, with a few glaring red smears on them—not blood, but red paint.
Her neatly tied bun was a mess, and her face was covered in streaks of ash.
But this was still considered good. If netizens hadn't called the police in time, and the officers had stormed into her home and taken away the loan sharks, she probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed today.
This wasn't the first time Gu Zhixu had felt so desperate. She knew that once today was over, tomorrow she would put on her business suit, apply her mask-like makeup, and she would still be the same Gu Zhixu made of steel.
But what about today?
Today isn't over yet.
Her home was smashed to pieces, her stomach felt like it was being squeezed and kneaded by a hand, she felt like she had a fever, but also like she didn't.
In short, I'm exhausted, very exhausted.
Just when she thought these exhausting moments were finally over, they would suddenly strike again, trying to completely crush her.
She admitted that she was a little overwhelmed at that moment.
She wanted a hand to support her.
Over the years, work, family, and all sorts of pressures seemed to come crashing down at this moment, threatening to engulf her.
She let out a long breath, and a sudden wave of nausea washed over her.
She staggered to the side, leaned against a tree, and vomited violently.
But she only drank a little bit of millet porridge today, and soon there was nothing left to vomit.
Her body went limp and fell downwards.
Either fall down.
So what if you fall on the roadside?
Anyway, there's a police station not far away, so even if she faints, someone will take care of her.
It might just make tomorrow's front page headline—a young woman collapses in front of a police station, suspected of having a terminal illness?
She looks like a middle-aged woman, but no one would call her a young girl.
She chuckled to herself, closed her eyes, and prepared to wait for the cold ground to catch her.
However, no.
It wasn't the cold ground that caught her.
It is a pair of strong arms.
At one point, Gu Zhixu felt that he might already be dead.
Isn't it said that people hallucinate before they die?
She just wanted someone to help her out, and now this has happened. What else could it be but a hallucination?
In her daze, she thought that dying might actually be a good thing. It had been so many years since anyone had given her such a sense of security and reliability.
Even if she really died, she was quite at peace in the moment before she died.
