By the time they reached the top-floor apartment,
Dongfang Yu turned on the lights.
The White Cat had been lying on the sofa,
but the sight of its owner coming in scared it so much it rolled off the sofa.
It looked incredulously at the person before it.
Was this bruised and purple figure really its owner?
How could that beautiful face have been beaten to such a state?
Dongfang Yu glanced at the stunned Xiao Bai and went to the bathroom.
He stared at his reflection in the mirror.
He couldn’t help but hiss in pain.
If it weren’t for his strong teeth, he reckoned they would have been smashed to bits.
How ruthless, every strike aimed to kill!
Thus, his sense of accomplishment from earlier dissipated like smoke.
He glared at his reflection in the mirror, venomously,
gritting his teeth, "Qin Yize, I will make you pay."
And just at that moment,
he suddenly felt a blockage in one of his meridians.
He was immediately alarmed.
Forgotten the most important thing.
All these years, without the communication of companions,
he had overlooked the suppression of the universal laws.
Although he had not committed murder with his own hands,
he had caused several people to die one after another because of him.
Then came his state of mind, no longer calm.
In the past, he did things without the need for the scheming he requires now.
Whatever he wanted to do, he would just do it.
Except for murder and arson.
And his thoughts were simple.
Now, however, he needed to plan, to ponder.
This had dirtied his mind with many impurities,
clogging up a meridian.
If this continued, he wouldn’t last ten years; he might just dissipate into ashes.
With that thought, Dongfang Yu slowly closed his eyes.
When he opened them again, they were much steadier than before.
He turned and left the bathroom.
Still, the vendetta from tonight must be avenged.
and Qin Yize and his brothers met at the designated spot, tearing off the masks from their faces.
They exchanged smiles,
but didn’t indulge in further idle talk,
for this was no place for chitchat.
So, they got into a black stretch car,
and it slowly vanished into the deep dark night.
And of all the things that happened in the night, Gu Qiaoqiao knew nothing.
after getting ready, Gu Qiaoqiao prepared to head to Yubao Square.
There had been a lot going on these past few days,
and everyone at home had been busy with their own things.
Gu Qiaoqiao had planned to send Gu Zishu to the military camp for training during the winter break,
and Qin Yize had even called to ask Gu Qingfeng about it.
Even though by this time, the two had already divorced,
to be on the safe side, Gu Qingfeng had declined.
After the darkness of night, there will always be light.
The children were young; he was not in a hurry.
So, Gu Zishu, feeling bored at home, pestered Gu Qiaoqiao to take him to Yubao Square.
Gu Qiaoqiao had been taking him out these past few days,
also with the intention of broadening his horizons.
After the new year, he was a year older,
he couldn’t always act like a child, jumping around like a monkey.
But privately, Gu Qiaoqiao still hoped that in this life, her brother could enjoy his youth to the fullest.
If he liked to jump, let him jump.
If he liked to shout, let him shout!
Thus, this family, including the Great Grandfather, had strict expectations for this sole male descendant.
The one who doted on Gu Zishu the most turned out to be Gu Qiaoqiao.
That’s why Gu Zishu’s relationship with Gu Qiaoqiao grew even better.
He followed her wherever she went,
claiming to be her bodyguard,
after all, he really did learn quite a few things from Luh Fei in the army.
Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t stop him.
