Gu Tong happily followed her Earl back home, leaving her father to deal with a room full of people.
This time she was taken away by a class, which must have disappointed many people. Although her father was happy, he would have to settle the aftermath.
For instance, Xue Zhengping would be a bit troublesome to handle.
However, Gu Tong had always prioritized love above her father, so she simply ignored it and no longer wanted to think about it.
After all, with her father’s skills, he would surely be able to handle it properly, so she didn’t need to worry too much.
Getting into the car back to the hospital, the atmosphere fell into silence for a moment.
Li Yan rested his chin on one hand but seemed lost in thought.
Gu Tong keenly noticed his change, her little head close by, with a hint of probing, she said, "Honey, what’s wrong?"
She couldn’t quite grasp Li Yan’s thoughts and didn’t know if he was angry.
After all, she had kept something from him, and it was ultimately her fault, right?
Li Yan’s originally deep eyes focused even more intensely, with a sense of investigation, he said deliberately, "I’m thinking, who is trying to harm you!"
This question left Gu Tong stunned as well, and she instinctively asked, "Did you discover something?"
"The real weapons and altered mechanisms at the field training camp, I don’t believe it was all accidental! So, you need to seriously think about who might want to harm you."
Through today’s events, Li Yan realized one thing, that his little woman was not a naive flower sheltered in a greenhouse, but a beast hiding sharp claws.
She clearly understood all the problems but just never mentioned them.
"This... I really don’t know..."
Gu Tong wanted to mention Qiu Xue’s name, but without evidence, she couldn’t do it.
Qiu Xue had the backing of the Qiu Family, and making a rash move would benefit neither of them.
After thinking for a long time, Li Yan finally spoke these words.
Gu Tong’s heart tightened but she hadn’t expected this result, she instinctively asked, "Who..."
The three words were blurted out, yet no one felt surprised.
It made sense; during field training, he always clashed with Gu Tong, constantly picking on her.
"But I never offended him. Why would he target me... and with real weapons, that could easily be life-threatening..."
Wanting her out of the New Student Camp was understandable, but wanting her dead was an entirely different matter, turning into two completely different kinds of issues.
This was what Li Yan was most worried about; someone targeting his woman’s life was like a ticking bomb, ready to explode at any moment, but for what reason? Li Yan couldn’t rest easy anymore.
That’s why Li Yan went to great lengths to keep Gu Tong by his side, wanting to protect her.
"I will continue to investigate this matter, you need not worry."
Li Yan’s voice was deep, more like a reminder, "From now on, stay by my side, don’t go anywhere, I’ll keep you safe, understand?"
These words struck Gu Tong’s heart, giving her the greatest comfort, and sounded like the most charming love words to her ears.
She felt moved and warm inside, saying, "Okay, I will stay by your side and won’t go anywhere."
She willingly allowed him to protect her, and reciprocally, she would protect him well too. In this life, she would never allow the tragedy of the past life to repeat.
She wanted to be with Li Yan, living peacefully for a lifetime.
