Just as Gu Chenan's thoughts were drifting, his phone rang.
As expected, the caller was Su Qianmo.
"Hello, Qianmo," Gu Chenan answered the phone.
As soon as the words "Qianmo" came out, Bai Yutian immediately pricked up her ears like a vigilant little white rabbit to listen to their conversation.
"Chenan, why did you suddenly leave? Did something happen?" Su Qianmo on the other end of the phone was very puzzled.
Gu Chenan hesitated, then squeezed out a smile.
"Something came up suddenly."
After saying that, he asked in a slightly inquiring tone: "Is your bodyguard with you?"
"She's not here now, she went..."
Before Su Qianmo could finish, Gu Chenan breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's good, that's good."
But he didn't expect Su Qianmo to continue: "She went to deliver your car."
"Huh?"
Gu Chenan was shocked before he could react: "Deliver the car? Deliver what car?"
"The car I gave you, I figured it wouldn't hurt to leave it in the parking lot, right?" Su Qianmo said.
Gu Chenan hurriedly asked, "When did she leave?"
"As soon as you left, I had her deliver it to you, she should be arriving any minute now. What's wrong, Chenan?"
Su Qianmo was a little confused why Gu Chenan cared so much about this.
Gu Chenan took a deep breath, shook his head and said, "Nothing, nothing, I got it."
"Then Chenan...can we meet again tomorrow?" Su Qianmo asked somewhat shyly.
"Let's see, I don't know either."
The situation now was that he couldn't meet Su Qianmo again until he dealt with Hoshino Kannon.
Even if Hoshino Kannon didn't follow Su Qianmo, she would definitely know that Su Qianmo was going to meet Gu Chenan.
If that happened, she would definitely tell Lin Yu about it.
Of course, with Gu Chenan's current skills, he was not at all afraid of Lin Yu, but he was afraid that Lin Yu would suddenly get some protagonist-exclusive cheat!
Although Lin Yu didn't have any cheats in the original storyline, this was no longer the original storyline.
Su Qianmo could send him a car, Liu Mingrui could dress him in a black silk bunny girl outfit, and Bai Yutian could show him her plump chest, so what else was impossible?
Gu Chenan didn't want to restart the loop again, so he was very vigilant about this.
"Young Master Gu."
At this moment, Bing came to Gu Chenan's door and said, "A lady has arrived outside the manor, saying she is here on Miss Su's orders to deliver the car to you."
She’s here!
Gu Chenan mentally prepared himself.
Anyway, he now had the ability to protect himself, he wasn't as afraid of Hoshino Kannon as before.
"Tell her to park in the parking space," Gu Chenan said.
"That's what I told her, but she insists on handing it over to Young Master Gu personally."
Gu Chenan heaved a big sigh.
It looked like the crazy woman had to see him, since that was the case he would have to go out and face her himself.
Otherwise, if that crazy woman got angry, who knows if she would sneak into his room while he was sleeping and strangle him!
Thinking of this, Gu Chenan stood up and glanced at Bai Yutian, who was squatting on the floor wiping the floor with a rag.
"That's good enough," he said as he walked out of the room.
......
......
Outside the manor.
A night breeze blew, stirring Hoshino Kannon's leather skirt.
Her breathtaking yet cold gaze was fixed on the Gu family manor, a strange smile on her charming little face.
A few days ago, Lin Yu had threatened her by kidnapping Liu Mingrui, telling her to kill Gu Chenan, otherwise he would tell Liu Zhenshan about it.
She could even become Su Qianmo's bodyguard because Lin Yu threatened her.
But she didn't do it because of Lin Yu's threats. The reason she did it was very unexpected.
Because it was fun.
The idea of a man wanting to kill his love rival out of jealousy amused her.
It also made her curious about the woman Lin Yu liked.
So she was quite willing to become a part of this rivalry game.
As for Lin Yu, she admired him, almost worshipped him.
Back then, when she kidnapped Liu Mingrui, although she didn't act personally, the people who carried it out were her elite subordinates.
Even so, Lin Yu still stood up for a woman he didn't even know.
This made Hoshino Kannon, as a fellow woman, somewhat admire him deep down.
She had even fantasized countless times about being kidnapped herself, and having someone like Lin Yu risk his life to come save her.
So this was also why she later got in touch with Lin Yu.
In short, she was very curious about the woman Lin Yu was interested in, and she found his request to kill Gu Chenan very amusing, which was why she listened to him.
Just as Gu Chenan said, she was a madwoman.
A madwoman who acted solely on a whim, with no regard for consequences.
As for Gu Chenan, Hoshino Kannon didn't have any other thoughts about him. She wouldn't kill him as soon as he came out, that wouldn't give her the thrill of the hunt and assassination.
Instead, she wanted to wait until Gu Chenan had his guard completely down around her, then reveal her true colors, and ultimately have Gu Chenan die in shock and bewilderment, his mind full of questions.
This was what she did most often, and what she enjoyed most... toying with prey.
......
Soon, Gu Chenan walked out of the main hall and arrived at the manor gates.
Gu Chenan now had innate qi, so if he fought Hoshino Kannon head-on he would be evenly matched.
But he was afraid the crazy woman would not fight fair and launch a sneak attack to cheat Gu Chenan, this twenty-something young man.
So Gu Chenan was still somewhat wary.
Looking at Hoshino Kannon's flawless, breathtaking beauty, and her smoldering, seductive figure, Gu Chenan swallowed his saliva and walked over.
"Hello, thank you for your trouble," he said as soon as he approached Hoshino Kannon.
"It's no trouble, it's my duty," Hoshino Kannon clasped her hands together and bowed slightly to Gu Chenan.
【Damn, this crazy woman looks harmless on the surface, but who knows what she's plotting to kill me.】
【How the hell did Lin Yu get her to become Qianmo's bodyguard?】
【Well, Hoshino Kannon is one of Lin Yu's harem in the plot, so it's not strange he could make her do things.】
Gu Chenan's inner voice sounded, and Hoshino Kannon froze for a moment.
She blinked and looked at Gu Chenan: "What did Young Master Gu just say?"
Gu Chenan frowned: "I didn't say anything?"
【Damn, are you not just crazy, are you schizophrenic?】
【Auditory hallucinations are one of the symptoms of schizophrenia, should I make an appointment at Donghai No. 2 Anding Hospital for you?】
Gu Chenan's inner voice sounded again, and Hoshino Kannon was stunned for a few seconds.
When she reacted, a hint of a smile appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Interesting, so these are Gu Chenan's inner thoughts?
The prey's inner voice is so amusing.
It looks like this prey is worth me playing with for a while longer!

e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.
