Chapter 86 Let him see blood
Among these male protagonists, Qi Yu is undoubtedly the most unreliable one.
But when he said "I will protect you," Gu Miao's restless emotions were miraculously soothed and she gradually calmed down.
Obviously you shouldn't trust him.
I don’t know why, but my brain seemed to have lost the ability to think, and I didn’t even issue a question.
Her brain subconsciously believed that he would keep his word.
In my memory, he was not such a person.
Your destiny should be in your own hands, rather than relying on others.
When you leave your destiny to others, the results are often unsatisfactory.
Gu Miao knew this very well.
That's why she was even more confused as to why she didn't refute.
"What are you thinking about?"
"Thinking of you..."
Qi Yu paused slightly and turned to meet her eyes. Gu Miao blinked and added the second half of the sentence:
"What's going on?"
"..."
Qi Yu had already seen through her, "Do you have any other choice now besides trusting me?"
"Yes."
"For example?"
"Humans, no matter when and where they are, have the right to choose an upward or downward life.
Up, one two three hanging. Down, three-two-one jump. ”
She joked with him seriously.
Qi Yu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.
His chest trembled with laughter, and the hand holding her involuntarily relaxed.
"Isn't it much funnier than your previous joke?"
He nodded frequently and wiped the tears from laughter from the corners of his eyes.
After a long time, he finally smiled enough, and his eyes looking at her were like stars in the sky, flickering with light.
"Gu Miao, I changed my mind."
What is he going to do?
Qi Yu didn't speak anymore, and there was a faint smile on his lips.
The light from the side of the verandah came in and reflected on the man's face. Gu Miao followed him step by step, her eyes following the smile on his face.
She vaguely noticed that his smile was different from usual.
There is no laxity or joking, but instead it seems that he has made some kind of determination, or figured out some problem that has been bothering him for many years, free and easy but firm.
In a daze, she had the illusion that before this, he had always regarded life as a game. It didn't matter whether he won or lost, as long as he had fun.
But now, he seemed to be serious all of a sudden.
He wants to be a chess player.
——
Late at night, halfway up the harbor city.
Inside the manor, the lights are brightly lit.
Gu Xu accompanied the old gentleman to dinner and then returned to the company.
In the study, the old gentleman is listening to the butler's report.
"What do you mean the person you sent has disappeared?"
The old gentleman closed the book in his hand and raised his eyes to look across.
The butler lowered his head, not daring to look at her.
"The phone is turned off and the person...has lost contact. The last location of the mobile phone and vehicle are in the suburbs of Beijing."
"Our people searched and found only the car and mobile phone, but no one was found nearby."
"Axu took action?"
"It shouldn't be the eldest young master."
"The other party acted very quickly and erased all traces immediately. We also encountered some obstacles during the investigation. This shows that the other party plays a very important role in Beijing."
The old gentleman was not angry, but said with emotion: "This girl is more lovable than I thought."
The butler didn't respond. He knew that this was not a compliment.
"Since you can't please her, then find someone else."
"Send her photo to He Yun. It's time to reunite mother and daughter." On the way back to the company, Gu Xu received a call from Beijing.
Gu Xu was exhausted physically and mentally, but when he saw the number jumping, he still pressed the answer button as soon as possible.
This number is usually not called unless...
"Sir, something happened to Miss Gu."
The man's hand on his knee tightened silently, but his tone was as calm as ever: "How is she?"
The subordinate did not expect that he would ask this first. He paused for a second and replied: "It should be fine."
"Should?" A vague laugh overflowed the receiver, and the subordinate's heart tightened and he quickly explained.
"Miss Gu was not injured when we saw her, she was just unconscious. But later...according to the investigation, Miss Gu was taken away by Qi Yue's people and is now in the Qi family's ancestral home. The specific situation is unknown."
"However, Mr. Qi Yu has been at his ancestral home in recent days and has never gone out."
"Qi Yue?"
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"Yes, do you think you need to make a call and ask about that place, and then we will..." Go over.
After all, it is the ancestral home of the Qi family, so it would not be good for them to come to the house in the middle of the night.
Say hello in advance so as not to ruin the relationship.
"Go there immediately. If you can't get in, call the police and break in. It's up to you to do whatever you want. The process is not important, I only care about the result."
"Before twelve o'clock tonight, pick him up for me regardless of the consequences."
In the code, the man whispered instructions.
"Wait."
"Once you find that she is injured, don't hesitate to operate on Qi Yue and let him see the blood."
His tone was relaxed, as if he was lamenting the good weather tonight.
"As for Qi Yu..." he paused for a moment, "don't let it go, teach him a lesson."
"Understood!"
Gu Xu didn't know what Qi Yue's purpose was in finding Gu Miao, but in his opinion, this matter was probably related to Qi Yu.
The front hall of the Qi family.
A door away, Gu Miao sat down.
Qi Yu was guarding outside. Looking out, she could still see the figure leaning against the door, feeling full of security.
On the opposite side, Qi Yue got straight to the point.
"Twenty million, plus I will send you to study abroad. The condition is that you can never return to China in your life."
What a joke, don't tell me she has a system mission and can't leave. Even if she can leave, Qi Yue will definitely not let her go after she goes abroad.
The security outside is not as safe as in the country. The Qi family wants to kill someone quietly and there is no difference between crushing an ant.
"Sorry, I can't accept that."
Qi Yue pointed to the door, "Or do you think he can protect you?"
"Yes, not entirely." Gu Miao smiled: "I still have a brother."
Now just Qi Yu can't contain him.
"Gu Xu?"
Qi Yue shook his head, "Have you forgotten your identity? You are just an unimportant adopted daughter of the Gu family."
"You are a parasite in the Gu family. In Gu Xu's eyes, you are no different from a stray dog on the street."
"Who cares about the life or death of a stray dog?"
The smile in her eyes froze for a moment.
As expected of a superior, he could find her weaknesses at a glance.
It doesn't matter. Gu Miao shook her head, "If you insist on thinking this way, let's make a bet."
"You tell my brother I'm here, and we can see what he will do next."
Qi Yue looked at her and suddenly fell silent.
On the chessboard, black and white chess pieces play silently.
Until the housekeeper's voice came from outside, breaking the silence: "Second Master! There is someone outside claiming to be Mr. Gu Xu, coming to take Miss Gu home!"
Gu Miao's eyelashes trembled fiercely. The next second, she relaxed her body and approached the seat. Her eyes were innocent and she helplessly spread her hands: "It seems that there is no need to bet."
"You have no chance of winning this game."
