Shen Wan'er's Call

Although Gu Yan had said she could crawl back the rest of the way,

She still collapsed at the entrance of the Night Organization due to her severe injuries.

In the last moment before losing consciousness, the only thing on her mind was

———— This guy.... why did he drop me off so far away.......

On the way back.

Gu Yan tossed the jade pendant into her system space, which was the safest and most secure method.

This system space was a feature she had discovered not long ago, with infinite capacity to store anything.

It was quite a useful function.

Watching the scenery flash by outside the car window, Gu Yan's gaze became extremely calm.

Half of the Dragon King Jade was now in her possession, but the other half would have to wait.

Because barring any unexpected events, Xiao Lin would be bailed out tomorrow morning and taken to the Bai family. She certainly couldn't rashly go there at this time.

However.....

Gu Yan thought of an interesting thing.

In the original story, the Bai family actually didn't know Xiao Lin.

They only recognized the Dragon King Jade. As for why they would go rescue Xiao Lin,

It was naturally due to the machinations of the old palace master of the Dragon King Palace, who had sent a letter to the Bai family long ago.

The letter stated that he had his eye on a young man named Xiao Lin, who would come to Jianghai before long.

It was precisely because of this letter that the head of the Bai family believed Xiao Lin to be the future palace master of the Dragon King Palace.

Especially when they saw the half of the Dragon King Jade on Xiao Lin's body, it further confirmed this idea.

That's why they sought to befriend him.

However now, the Dragon King Jade on Xiao Lin's body had already been taken by her, and she wondered how the subsequent plot would unfold.

Heh, just thinking about it made her look forward to it.

A slight smile curved Gu Yan's lips. At this moment,

Buzz buzz~

Gu Yan's phone started vibrating. She picked it up and saw it was an unknown number.

She was about to hang up, but then thought of something.

So she answered.

The next second.

A complex female voice, sounding as if resigned to fate, came through.

"Gu Yan... it's Shen Wan'er."

At the Shen family home.

Shen Wan'er sat on the edge of the bed, her eyes weary. The impact of her company's security guards killing several people was far too severe.

It caused unnecessary panic and confusion among employees who had just started to have confidence in her.

There was no choice. Now she just wanted to quickly resolve the company's bankruptcy problem.

On Gu Yan's end, he inwardly thought that it was finally here.

He couldn't help but smile and asked, "What business does Miss Shen have with me?"

As if deliberately, Gu Yan asked, "Why didn't you use your previous number to call me?"

On Shen Wan'er's side, hearing Gu Yan's somewhat sarcastic words, she clenched her fists.

Her eyes became very pitiful, and her voice was low: "Gu Yan, do you have to be like this....."

In the past, whether in tone or expression, Shen Wan'er had always been superior when facing Gu Yan.

But now her tone seemed incredibly weak.

"Alright, alright, let's talk about serious matters."

"You... come to my house to find me tomorrow."

Gu Yan thought for a moment and said, "Resolve the matter before noon, and bring your sincerity."

Hearing these words, Shen Wan'er bit her lip, her eyes showing a hint of shame and anger.

But in the end, as if resigned to her fate, she put down her hand weakly and sighed, "I understand."

Click, the phone hung up.

Shen Wan'er sat by the bed for a long time, staring blankly out the window.

Finally, she stood up and walked towards the wardrobe.

She began rummaging through her clothes.

She casually picked up an expensive piece of lingerie, looking at the clothes she only dared to wear at home. Shen Wan'er finally couldn't help but start sobbing.

She clutched the clothes tightly, thinking of Gu Yan's cold demeanor, and choked out in a grieved tone: "Why... why do you treat me like this...."

You weren't like this before.

On Gu Yan's side, after hanging up the phone, he said to Old Gao, "Tomorrow, ask auntie to help me buy some groceries."

"Also, Old Gao, please drop Ling'er off."

It's been a while since I cooked for Qingqiu. Tomorrow I'll wrap up Shen Wan'er's matter early.

Then before noon, I'll go to the Leng family to cook lunch for our Qingqiu.

Delicious~~

Old Gao focused on driving, hearing these words he seemed to want to say something but held back.

He had heard Shen Wan'er's voice on the phone, it seemed she was coming to the Gu family home to find young master tomorrow.

Old Gao thought, could it be that young master had split into his [Shen Wan'er's lapdog personality] again?

But he shook his head, never mind, he was just young master's bodyguard, why bother thinking so much.

So he said, "Understood, young master."

After a pause, Old Gao mentioned, "Should I have auntie deliver the groceries directly to the house?"

"The house?"

Gu Yan was stunned, he chuckled and said, "There's no one at home to eat, I'm going to cook for Qingqiu at noon, just have the groceries sent there."

This time it was Old Gao's turn to be stunned. He opened his mouth, then said, "Understood, young master."

Hiss.... Young master is really unpredictable.

.......

........

Night Organization Tea Restaurant.

In an underground space 5000 meters below.

In a pure white hospital room.

"How useless, to be injured so severely by a young martial artist."

"If master had sent me at that time, that Dragon King Palace young master would have probably been manipulated into suicide by now!"

Bai Lian crossed her arms, mockingly looking at Mei Xue who was lying on the hospital bed with bandaged wounds.

Mei Xue remained silent. She had multiple injuries all over her body, and her internal organs had also been severely damaged by the constant impact of that golden true qi.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have died many times over by now.

"What's wrong, did I hit a sore spot? Is that why you're not talking?"

Bai Lian showed a provocative expression.

However, Mei Xue still didn't speak.

Seeing this, Bai Lian put away her smile and pouted, "Hmph, if you don't want to talk then don't. If it wasn't for me sensing your aura and saving you, you would have died!"

Hearing these words, Mei Xue finally showed some reaction.

She turned her head, expressionlessly looking at Bai Lian, and said, "Thank you."

"!"

Bai Lian clearly hadn't expected this woman to say thank you, and immediately became a bit uncomfortable, "You know how to say thank you?"

"Well, that's good, this young lady is not what......"

"However, if master had sent you at that time, you probably wouldn't have been able to crawl back at all."

?

Bai Lian slowly raised a question mark, her face becoming extremely unpleasant, "Hehe, I really do hate you, woman."

At this moment.

The middle-aged Shop Manager wearing sunglasses walked over and lightly coughed, "Alright, stop arguing."

"We didn't expect the Dragon King Palace young master to have strength at the master level."

"This matter has already been reported to the master."

"As for Mei Xue......"

The Shop Manager paused, then said, "Master said to go to her place tomorrow, she will help you recover from your injuries."

Hearing this, Mei Xue's expression froze, then she nodded, her tone somewhat moved and self-reproachful: "Okay."

Bai Lian, on the other hand, seemed a bit unconvinced, muttering, "The mission was completed in a mess, yet she still gets favored by master, I really don't understand."

She shrugged her shoulders and left shaking her head.

At the Leng family home.

Leng Qingqiu's face was cold. She really hadn't expected that Dragon King Palace young master to be a master-level expert.

It was understandable that Mei Xue would lose. It seemed the target needed to be changed slightly.

However.... why did it involve Gu Yan?

According to the investigation by her subordinates, that Xiao Lin actually knew Wang Yulan?

And it was because Gu Yan called the police that he was arrested and put in prison?

Leng Qingqiu frowned slightly. Xiao Lin had master-level strength and was arrested because Gu Yan called the police.

It was inevitable that he might develop some desire for revenge.

Although the butler following Gu Yan had decent strength, but...... he might not always be with Gu Yan.

If Gu Yan were to be ambushed and attacked by that Xiao Lin.... it would be too terrible.

No, no.

She couldn't let something like this happen.

Of course, it wasn't because of any concern for Gu Yan's safety or anything like that, it was just because Gu Yan was, after all, a servant who attended to her.

Naturally, she couldn't let anything happen to him, after all, he did cook quite deliciously.

Come to think of it......

Leng Qingqiu rested her face on her book, feeling a bit distracted. Gu Yan hadn't said if he was coming tomorrow....

He really was a troublesome guy.
