Any lord could have noticed something was wrong, he prided himself on his deep affection and love for her, yet he noticed nothing.

Despite knowing that she's alive now, she'll just bring a mouth to ask and not check anything.

He, Gu Jinchi, didn't have heavenly skills, but now he couldn't find out anything.

What made her truly hurt was not that Gu Jinchi hadn't found her in the first place, but that she hadn't even personally fumbled for the truth at a time like this.

Gu Jinchi's blood-filled eyes steeply showed a hint of sadness, "Gu Zhanyan moved in the Gu family, I was able to find very few clues, and I can only roughly know that this matter can't be unrelated to Gu Zhanyan."

"Qinglan, I really tried my best, will you tell me?"

His reddened eyes were filled with chagrin and self-reproach, and his whole mood had sunk to the bottom.

What she saw and heard made her heart a little sour, but she avoided Gu Jinchi's outstretched hand and pulled open the car door.

"No, we're all fine the way we are."

Now that the stuff had been taken out, she was relieved.

She got back into her car as her vision was clouded with tears and drove quickly back to the hospital as if in a hurry to get away.

Fu Lao almost didn't turn his back in anger when he learned that the entire villa had been burned.

He was alive and well when he got smashed, but the blow was a bit too much for him to take.

With a bitter face, he was almost in tears of old age, "That place is all my life's work, how can it be destroyed just like that!"

"Is there a lot of paperwork there?" Su Qinglan frowned guiltily.

If it wasn't for helping them, Fu Lao wouldn't have to go through this flying accident right now.

Maybe the things that mattered in this half of my life have been buried in the fire.

Just as she was thinking about how to make it up to Fu Lao, he sighed and shook his head, "I still know how to use a computer, those things can be retrieved, but the instruments are expensive!"

... turned out to be the reason.

She let out a steep sigh of relief, her face showing helplessness, "Regarding those things, we'll pay you back, as well as the medical bills for the one time as well as the new house, Gu Jinchi will pay for it."

"Really?" Hearing her say that, the sadness on Fu Lao's face dissipated.

His eyes rolled, and then he closed them in relief, "If you say so, then I won't refuse your kindness."

This time, she suddenly had the feeling that she had been set up.

But the money was coming from Gu Jinchi after all, so there was no need for her to feel any physical pain.

"Then let's get down to business, about the matter of why you were attacked." She didn't understand how Gu Zhuyan was able to keep his eyes and ears open like this.

Upon hearing this, Fu Lao's face showed difficulty, "If you ask me about this matter, I don't have the slightest clue, there's simply no one at my place since recently."

This was exactly the same as what Gu Jinchi had said.

But if it was true that he had realized this matter before, why didn't Gu Zhanyan do it at the first opportunity, but waited until now?

She was puzzled and a cloud of sadness hung over her.

Seeing her sadness, Fu Lao reached out his hand, found his cell phone, and handed it to her, "There's nothing I can offer you."

"But there should still be some security footage here, and turning it over to the police should be of some use."

Su Qinglan froze, she didn't even know that Fu Lao had surveillance there, "Where was the surveillance installed?"

"That's all valuable stuff after all, I installed pinhole cameras, so ordinary people can't find them." There were still a few moments of pride on Fu Lao's face.

Seeing him so alive and well, her heart rather relaxed.

Maybe that would be a key to getting evidence that would point to Gu.

She was slightly agitated, and immediately contacted Qishen, while getting a number of people together to go through the surveillance records of this year.

There were basically not many people coming to the abandoned villa area, and nearly ninety-eight percent of the video files were of one scene, which would have been like a still image if there hadn't been a time change.

She hadn't had any convincing leads even when she'd flipped through the sky using her portrait capture to see that the sky was turning fish-belly white.

It is not possible to categorize all those who stopped and stopped as scheming, but after excluding this condition, there were hardly two recurring faces.

Even the man who entered to commit the crime had his face covered, with only his lanky figure and physical features.

Her head was all fuzzy and she fell asleep without realizing it.

When she woke up again, there were already subtle conversations in the hospital room, and when she raised her head, she saw Gu Jinchi's face gradually becoming clearer in her blurred vision.

He was talking to Fu Lao about something, and when he saw her waking up, he directly reached out his hand and yanked the still bewildered her out with one hand.

The corridor was extraordinarily quiet, and Gu Jinchi pulled her until the emergency exit before letting go.

"What are you doing?" She shook him off with all her might, rubbing her clenched, raw hand, her brow furrowed.

Gu Jinchi's face was gloomy and his gaze was somber, "Tell me what happened during this period of time."

"You don't have to ask questions like that anymore, it's pointless." She grimaced, the nameless fire running a little brighter.

The next moment, he suddenly pressed her against the wall to one side and locked eyes with her up in a forced position, "It's important, and I'm too late to investigate now."

"How am I supposed to protect you when you won't tell me everything?"

Her eyes were cold as she was forced to meet his gaze, "I don't need your protection right now."

"Because of Lord Ren?" His emotions steeped up, "Qinglan, the manpower I planted with Gu Zhuyan is gone, his actions are no longer under my control."

The dark eyes were so worried that they stung her eyes, but they also made her feel a little ridiculous.

She let out a long breath and pushed him away once again, "Gu Jinchi, think carefully, you claimed to protect me, and how many times have you protected me and Xiao Ze?"

Some sourness in the heart tumbled, think of those once happened all kinds of things, even if the man in front of her still have expectations, but she did not dare to believe in.

Gu Jinchi's reddened eyes were a bit hurt, and he was about to open his mouth when Su Qinglan directly interrupted him.

"Gu Jinchi, I hope you stop when you're right, at least I hope you calm down and think about how much more I've endured since we've been together?"

"It's not just me, even you can't take care of Ze, so for all those promises coming out of your mouth, it's better to stop in moderation."

She hadn't been with Gu Jinchi for a long time, but she had practically savored the ups and downs of a lifetime.

A life like this was something she wouldn't want to try again even if she had ten more balls.

After two sporadic interrogations, Gu Jinchi had fallen silent.

His grip on her hand loosened as well, his entire being showing a weariness he had never seen before.

"Qinglan, Gu Zhanyan is doggedly desperate, I can't accept losing you once more."

The last experience had been enough to embolden him, and he would never forget the pain that tore through his heart and lungs for the rest of his life.

He didn't mind that she was indifferent to him, and all the negligence needed to be made up.

But she must live.

Last night's blazing fire seemed like a wake-up call for him, and his strongest impulse was only one: to protect her.

The slightly cool morning breeze blew over, causing her heart to flutter once, followed by a feeling of some coolness, and she couldn't help but touch her arm.

"Don't say such things, even if you think I will die, I won't die." There had been more things in life and death, her now had already looked down on these.

"You just take care of Ze, nothing else needs to be on your mind."

Almost subconsciously, Gu Jinchi blurted out, "How can I just take care of ..."

"Isn't that what you said to me once?" She smiled to herself.

They hadn't had any intimate droning before, other than to take care of Ze.

Looking at Gu Jinchi, who was once again speechless, she had no pleasure, just an extraordinarily sour heart.

"You just have to remember that the threat can't be lifted for a day until Gu Zhuyan is resolved. People like him are capable of even laying hands on children."

That wasn't a threat; the last experience had emboldened her.

If it wasn't for the fact that Xiao Ze was by Gu Jin Chi's side and he couldn't get his hands on him with his elite bodyguards, I'm afraid that he would really do whatever it takes to use Xiao Ze to lure away the two of them.

I don't know if it was the cold or because of her anger, but her thin form shivered slightly.

Gu Jinchi was silent as he took his jacket off and draped it over her body, saying in an extremely complex tone, "I'm sorry."

Her demeanor remained cold as she pushed off her jacket and snorted softly, "Not everything can be solved with those three words."

Those three words wouldn't heal the damage she'd suffered.

Seeing her about to leave, Gu Jinchi hurriedly clutched her hand again, "Xiao Ze misses you."

The mention of Zee made her heart soften.

Seeing a pause in her pace, he added, "You hate me rightfully, but can you come back for a few days?"

"It's Ze's birthday in a few days, and all he wants now is to be able to have a family reunion for once."

Such a tiny and pungent wish made Su Qinglan a little taut.

But when she thought of Shirui, who stayed in the Gu family and acted freely, she couldn't help but dispel that little hint in her heart, "If you're really thinking about Xiao Ze, then you guys can come to my place together."

"Good." He compromised quickly, clearly not just trying to use this incident to demand her back.

"Whatever you want." He let go of her hand, still draping the suit over it, his voice soft, "Ze would be so happy if he knew."

Right now, only Xiao Ze was the only soft spot in her body, and apparently Gu Jinchi had a very good grasp of this point.

Remembering that Zee was on this inpatient building, she tightened her jacket around her and turned toward the elevator.

Just not seeing her for a day made her feel a little empty inside.

In the hospital room, Zee was fuming alone in the hospital bed, she peered inside through the glass window, looking at his well-behaved and adorable side of his sad face, her heart was really a little bit not feeling good.

After pushing the door in, the downtrodden Xiao Ze suddenly changed his appearance and happily pounced over, "Mommy! You finally came to see me!"

"I've been told by all the bad guys that you're the one who didn't want me!"
