Aspire For Love Wistfully: Volume 4

By Nan JiXiGua

Because he knew that she had killed the woman he loved the most.

Therefore

He insulted her, mocked her, tortured her.

The one sentence Gu Zhao said the most was …

"Jiang Yao, if you're still alive, I'll make you wish you were dead! If you die, I'll make you die with grievances!"

AGAIN(2)

CHAPTER 301 - IT'S ALL MY FAULT SORRY

Tan Feng indifferently looked at the bonfire and said to his people: Let's go down first.

The rain came so hard that it didn't take long to extinguish the remaining flames. The fire, not to be extinguished, was smoldering high in the air. It seemed like he was sending out a signal.

Although the fire was not extinguished, the rain in the sky showed no signs of stopping. When they arrived, the weather forecast had said that there would be heavy rain tonight.

A few muffled thunders sounded in the sky, and in a few seconds it became louder. The lightning combined with the raindrops made people start to get nervous. Several of the policemen who were supposed to be there had been evacuated.

Jiang Yao had been carried down the mountain by her father. Fortunately, they had made a path up the mountain. Otherwise, it would have been difficult to climb down. Yang Zi, who had been anxiously waiting below, wanted to go up several times to see what had happened and why it had taken so long. He tried calling Gu Zhao a few times, but no response came.

It was probably because of the rainy weather that the item that he gave to Gu Zhao did not have its greatest use and was ruined midway. Otherwise, Gu Zhao and the others would have needed to look for Xu Xiao and her friends for such a long time.

The only reason why he could meet Jiang Yao was because she was a blind cat that had run into a dead mouse. Yang Zi was also very vexed, he didn't know what was the reason for this, and would only know after he obtained the item and looked at it carefully.

However, it was good to hear it a few times. He could hear some noises, but it was not very clear. Not long ago, he heard Gu Zhao's shout, calling out Xu Xiao's name.

He tried to call Gu Zhao, but it was as if Gu Zhao didn't hear him, and the signal finally disappeared.

It was raining heavily now, and Yangzi was sitting alone in the car with a driver standing by the side of the road. He felt as if his heart had been scratched by a cat, and it felt extremely uncomfortable.

If I had known, I would have given it to you and the others.

He kicked the door hard, making a muffled sound. The driver standing on the side of the road was shocked. He looked inside the car and also saw something.

The sky was dark and the lights were on, shining on the raindrops. It was very obvious as the silver strings fell down one by one.

Dong, dong, dong ~

While Yangzi was feeling extremely vexed, the sound of the car window knocking could be heard. He looked up and saw the driver. He pointed at the car in front of them. Yangzi immediately turned his head to look in front of him, and the group of people came down.

Because it was far away, he could not see who it was. It wasn't enough to tell, but it should be someone on Jiang Guanzheng's side.

Soon, the car was moving away from them, and Yangzi watched them go. He thought to himself, Why hasn't Gu Zhao come down yet? Jiang Guanzheng has already come down.

He put down the laptop and got out of the car with an umbrella.

As soon as he came out, he saw Tan Feng carrying a person as he hurried over. He hurried forward to help them with umbrellas.

Why did you come down so late?

Yang Zi opened the car door and saw that Tan Feng had Gu Zhao inside. After he got on, he naturally sat in the front seat. Feeling that the driver was getting in the way, he pushed him away and said, You should go in the back.

He did not say anything and quickly stepped aside, opening up a path.

Yangzi sat in the driver's seat and looked back. Tan Feng was wiping Gu Zhao's hair with a towel on the car and taking off his clothes.

He took the coat from the car and covered his body.

Yang Zi knew that he had no time to bother with him now, so he obediently shut up, stepped on the accelerator and drove on.

When the car turned off the muddy road and onto the wide road, it stopped swaying.

Why is it just you? Weren't you all going to save Xu Xiao?

After a long while, Yangzi could not help but ask a few words in his heart. Actually, he had wanted to ask for a long time, but he hadn't found the opportunity to do so.

Now that he saw that Tan Feng had finished his work, he finally spoke.

Dead.

Tan Feng lightly said.

Yang Zi thought he misheard, so he repeated what Tan Feng had just said.

Dead? Who is it?"

Xu Xiao.

Yangzi stepped on the brake and stopped on the side of the road. Because of inertia, they all leaned forward and almost hit the door.

What did you say? Xu Xiao is dead.

In contrast to Yang Zi's excitement, Tan Feng seemed exceptionally calm. He nodded and responded to him.

Didn't you see the flames on the mountain? If that's the case, then the house will be burnt and Xu Xiao will be inside. She won't be able to come out.

Yang Zi still couldn't digest these things. After a minute, he asked again, Did Jiang Yao die as well?

This was because previously, Yang Zi had already found out what Jiang Guanzheng was doing over the past two days. It was as though some kidnapper had kidnapped Jiang Yao along with Xu Xiao. For the past two days, he had been raising money, secretly calling the police and asking hackers to find out where Jiang Yao had been kidnapped.

Therefore, he wasn't kidnapped by Jiang Guanzheng just like Gu Zhao had imagined.

No, they escaped. I don't know why, but Jiang Yao escaped and ran into us on the way.

Yang Zi no longer said anything. Thinking of the person on Jiang Guang's back, he assumed that it was Jiang Yao.

How could that Ah Zhao …

I knocked him out.

Where are we going now? We're going back to the hospital.

Let's go to the hospital.

Tan Feng grabbed his arm and couldn't help but frown. When he had just pushed Gu Zhao away, his hand had been scratched by the falling beam. Gu Zhao's arm was the same, but it wasn't as heavy as his arm.

Yangzi sped up and headed for the city.

….

Father Jiang was the first to arrive at the hospital. He carried Jiang Yao into the hospital and had already arranged for a doctor to attend to them. She was pushed into the ward, and Papa Jiang was stopped.

He heaved a sigh of relief, because Jiang Yao was fine.

After a night of waking up from a nightmare, Jiang Yao suddenly opened her eyes and sat up straight. The noise alarmed Papa Jiang, who was sleeping on the side. He opened his eyes and looked at Jiang Yao.

What's wrong? Are you not feeling well?

Jiang Yao rubbed her head, cold sweat trickling down her forehead. The hospital gown he wore was also soaked through with sweat, sticking tightly to his back.

Where's Xu Xiao? Where's Xu Xiao?

She excitedly pulled on his hand.

Yaoyao, don't be agitated, don't be agitated.

Thinking of that scene, Jiang Yao weakly sat on the bed and covered her eyes as she started to cry. He whispered to Father Jiang with a choked of sobs, What about Dad? I was the one who killed Xu Xiao. It was me. It was all my fault. If it wasn't for me, she wouldn't have died. It's all my fault. It's all my fault.

She reached out and slapped herself twice. Father Jiang quickly took her hand.

CHAPTER 302 - ARE YOU HAPPY THAT SHE'S DEAD

Come on, Yao Yao, it's not your fault, it's not.

Father Jiang grabbed Jiang Yao's shoulder and pinned her to his chest. Jiang Yao couldn't break free even if she wanted to. In the end, she could only lower her hand and bury her head into his chest.

He cried loudly.

Father Jiang patted her back and comforted her as he had when she was a child.

Weeping had tired her of mumbling indistinctly as she was also calling out Xu Xiao's name. Papa Jiang touched Jiang Yao's face, feeling sorry for her, before placing her on the bed in his arms.

After covering her head with a blanket, Father Jiang discovered that Jiang Yao's head was very hot. He had discovered this when he sent her to the hospital last night, but the fever had yet to subside.

This caused Father Jiang to worry, so he tucked Jiang Yao in and walked out.

He went to the doctor and asked him about Jiang Yao's condition. What he said was that this was an infection and not just a bad cold. He would need to be hospitalized for a few more days, and this fever could be pushed away whenever he wanted to.

It mainly depended on Jiang Yao's resistance. Otherwise, everything she said would be useless. As doctors, they could only use medicine to suppress the germs in their bodies.

He frowned, thanked her and left. Outside, he called Mother Jiang, who had been worrying at home for a long time. On the way home, Father Jiang wanted to call Mother Jiang when he came back last night.

But it was too late, and the sky was still raining heavily, so he didn't call his mother because he was afraid of some danger. That was why he had sent a message to Aunt Jiang so early in the morning.

She was afraid of disturbing him by making a phone call, so he got a reply right after sending the message. Mother Jiang replied almost instantaneously. She didn't send a message to Father Jiang, but called him directly.

Afraid that Jiang Yao would wake up, he probably only said a few words before falling silent. Mother Jiang wanted to come right away, so Father Jiang told her to make light food at home.

He said that when Jiang Yao woke up, she would eat it when she was hungry. Aunt Jiang thought about it and agreed.

Where have you been, Su-Ya?

Mother Jiang looked at the surroundings and asked the driver. He replied, We'll be at the hospital in 10 minutes. There's a bit of a traffic jam here. Right, Yao Yao, have you woken up yet?

He woke up. He cried for a while and fell asleep again.

She roughly knew the cause and effect of the matter. After pondering for a moment, she said, We are also very helpless regarding that child Xu Xiao. Make it up to her family. After all, it's all because of Yao Yao."

Father Jiang leaned over the railing and opened the window. A ray of sunlight slanted down. The torrential rain last night made the morning air especially fresh and fresh.

He took a few deep breaths and looked at the petals that had fallen to the ground.

Don't get angry, it's good that Yao Yao is fine now. When I come, you can go home and sleep for a while. You haven't slept for the past two days, how can this go on?

Looking through the glass next to him, Father Jiang saw what he looked like. He laughed at himself and said, That's right, we are all old now. In the blink of an eye, Yao Yao is already this big.

At this moment, he felt many emotions in his heart. He really regretted not being able to accompany the mother and daughter pair at that time.

Alright, let's go to sleep for a while. I'll be there soon.

Alright.

Father Jiang hung up the phone. He did not go to sleep as he had said, but felt in his pants pocket and took out a square object.

It was a pack of cigarettes. He took a cigarette out of the pack and lit it with a lighter. He put it into his mouth and inhaled deeply. He choked until he coughed, and then he threw away the half-smoked cigarette.

Actually, Father Jiang used to smoke, and the reason why he was addicted to smoking was because of his mental illness. For the sake of Jiang Yao and the others, he had given up on smoking.

He still remembered what his mother had told him. She said, Think about it, Jiang Yao. You're sick. Originally, Yao Yao was already not at ease with you. Could it be that she wanted to leave with her dissatisfaction towards you? "

These words woke Mr. Jiang up like he was waking up from a dream. He thought about it and felt that it was true. For the sake of his body, he had given up.

If you smoke now, it doesn't taste like that anymore.

He picked up the cigarette butt and threw it into the trash can. Then, he turned around and entered the ward. However, the moment he opened the door, he found that Jiang Yao had disappeared. Jiang Yao, who had been lying on the bed, was nowhere to be found.

The blanket was lifted, and the temperature of the area was still warm when he touched it. It seemed that he had just left not too long ago. He turned and ran outside, calling the nurse on duty.

The nurse said she didn't see anyone pass him, probably because she was too busy to see him. Father Jiang was forced to go to the security room and watch the surveillance video.

The video showed Jiang Yao wearing an overcoat and a mask as she left. She purposely hid her face. If it wasn't for his understanding of Jiang Yao, he would have completely ignored her.

However, when she checked on the monitoring system outside the hospital, she found that Jiang Yao hadn't left the hospital. Jiang Yao probably hadn't left the hospital yet, so where had she gone to?

Father Jiang really didn't think of it until the security guard who showed him the footage said something.

Did she go to look for someone? She asked a lot of nurses along the way.

After the security guard's reminder, he took a careful look. It seemed to be exactly as he had said, Jiang Yao stopped at many places before leaving.

This time, Mr Jiang immediately thought of someone.

Gu Zhao.

He was in this hospital, too, but in different wards.

Jiang Yao must have gone to find Gu Zhao. Thinking of this, the security room that Jiang Yao wanted to leave. When he reached the place that Jiang Yao had stopped at. After asking the nurse, she told him where Gu Zhao's ward was.

Having obtained the address, Father Jiang immediately left. The nurse looked at him blankly. What was going on? She hadn't finished asking, so why did she leave?

She felt baffled. This was already the third person to ask her the same question, the same person asking the same question. She was guessing who this Gu Zhao was, to have so many people looking for him. Could it be that they wanted to pay him back?

However, this was not something she should care about, so she calmed her heart and began to do her own things.

Before Jiang Yao and the others left, Qin Lang rushed back from abroad and directly went to the hospital. Since he didn't know where Gu Zhao was, he asked.

When Father Jiang arrived at Gu Zhao's door, he heard a loud shout from inside, Scram, scram! Don't speak so hypocritically. I will not forgive you. Xu Xiao is the same. Isn't this the outcome you want to see the most? With Xu Xiao dead, you should be happy, right? "

This is all my fault, all my fault. If not for me …

Yeah, because of you, you're a murderer, you know that, murderer.

CHAPTER 303 - ISN'T THAT WHAT YOU WANT

In the room, Gu Zhao pointed at Jiang Yao on the floor with a face full of excitement. He wanted nothing more than to throw the pillow on Jiang Yao's body. He held it in his hands and clenched it so tightly that the pillow was already deformed.

Do you know what Xu Xiao said to me the night she left? She said that she wanted to break up with me and she said that you had returned. She wanted to make up with you, so she chose to give me to you. Because of this, we had a fight, she left, she went to find you. Hehe! She did it for you, and you ran away when you were in trouble, leaving her alone in that place.

He paused for a second before continuing, Jiang Yao, do you dream of Xu Xiao when you sleep at night? She's saying it's painful, really painful. Please forgive her for stealing me from you. Sometimes I think it's funny that I was once yours and you had nothing to do with me.

Why are you doing this to her?

Gu Zhao suddenly raised his voice, the latter part of his sentence seemed to be shouted out.

Jiang Yao stood rooted to the spot, completely unmoved. She simply lowered her head and wept.

This was Gu Zhao's voice, mixed with his crying voice. Hearing it, Father Jiang immediately knew it was his daughter, Jiang Yao. What Gu Zhao said made Father Jiang feel very uncomfortable. Jiang Yao was his daughter, and he had never wanted to scold her even once. In the end, he heard him tell her to scram the moment he arrived.

She also said that she was a murderer, and that wasn't something anyone could bear.

Enough, Gu Zhao. Why are you slandering my daughter like that? Is Xu Xiao dying what she wants to see?

Therefore, father Jiang couldn't help but open the door and walk in. The first thing he saw was his daughter kneeling on the ground with tears streaming down her face. There were two people in the room, but he did not recognize them.

However, one of them was Qin Lang. Previously, they had cooperated with each other, so they were more familiar with each other. It was just that they weren't very familiar with each other.

Father Jiang retracted his gaze and bent down to pick Jiang Yao up. However, Jiang Yao refused to do so and insisted on kneeling on the ground.

As soon as he exerted force, Jiang Yao's body felt like it was a very light object, and she was immediately lifted up. She leaned powerlessly against Father Jiang, her eyes already swollen from crying.

Seeing this, Father Jiang's heart ached. When had her daughter ever been like this before? He held the treasure in his hands in reverence.

What? Did Director Jiang want to do something again? Did you think that I would make your daughter pay with her life or … make you pay with her life?

In the end, he spoke in a low and charming voice that made people shudder in fear. Naturally, Mister Jiang, who had been through a lot of fighting, wouldn't be scared. When he was outside, he heard something. He grabbed Jiang Yao's shoulder and said with a dark expression.

I did indeed tell Xu Xiao that I had left you. This is an indisputable fact, I admit it. But I didn't threaten her when you said you were. I, Jiang Guang, am doing well. I can only apologize for Xu Xiao's matter. I can only compensate …"

Speaking of compensation, Gu Zhao smiled, and his smile disappeared without a trace. What he got in return was a look of disdain. She looked at Father Jiang and said, What's the use of you making compensation? Can your compensation make Xu Xiao come back? Why don't we change it to a different way and have your daughter accompany him in death? What do you think?

Father Jiang's pupils constricted and his face instantly filled with anger. He said in a low voice, This is unreasonable. Madman, Yao Yao, let's go.

What Gu Zhao said was a huge joke to Mr Jiang. Since when did anyone make such a request? Xu Xiao's family members had yet to say anything, yet this unrelated person had already started.

No. Dad, I can pay with my life. I can …

Jiang Yao wanted to break free from her father's grasp, but her strength was not as great as his. She was simply unable to do so.

Let's go.

Jiang Yao was forcefully dragged out of the ward. Along the way, no matter how much she struggled, it was useless. When they reached the ward, Father Jiang threw the illogical Jiang Yao onto the bed and told her in a serious tone.

Yaoyao, Daddy knows you're guilty, but it wasn't you who caused it, not you, do you understand? Gu Zhao said you'd pay with your life. What's the use? Xu Xiao won't come back, silly child.

Jiang Yao shook her head as she cried. She did not look into his eyes as she muttered, B-but if it wasn't for me, Xu Xiao wouldn't have ended up like this. Dad, this is all my fault.

He felt that things were not that simple. Just as he was about to ask about what had happened, the door was opened. Aunt Jiang came in with food in her hands.

What's wrong? Why are you crying like this? Is there something wrong with you?

As soon as Mother Jiang came in, she saw Jiang Yao crying her eyes out. She put down what she was holding and pushed Father Jiang, who was standing in front of her, away. He sat down beside Jiang Yao and used a tissue to wipe her tears away.

Father Jiang was about to say something, but before he could say anything, his phone rang. He glanced at Jiang Yao and her daughter before walking out.

Hey, what happened?

Boss, the corpses of Xu Xiao and company are missing. There's nothing related to the scene at all. A few of them even have burnt logs on them.

The one who spoke was Su Ming, he had just received news from the police.

What? The body is gone! "

Father Jiang let out a shout and quickly looked around the ward. When he found nothing out of the ordinary, he took his phone and walked to the other side of the corridor.

Say that again.

Su Ming knew that he still found it hard to believe. To be honest, he also found the news hard to believe.

The corpses of Xu Xiao and the other two men are gone. The scene was cleaned up very cleanly. I guess that after we left, there were still people at the scene. They probably came to clean up after we had left.

Father Jiang fell into deep thought and did not speak for a long while. Su Ming, who was still waiting for a message on the other end of the phone, did the same thing. He asked, Boss, boss.

You keep an eye on him and send people to investigate. I don't think this kidnapping will be that simple. I want everyone involved to go in without a single person remaining.

Father Jiang narrowed his eyes, looking exceptionally cold.

Yes.

I know you've been wanting to leave the Jiang Group. I promise to let you go, but I want you to investigate this behind the scenes.

Su Ming did not know how to react to this long-awaited offer. He had said more than once that he wanted to leave, but Father Jiang had refused. He did not expect him to agree this time.

Alright.

Father Jiang then hung up the phone. To be honest, he had his reasons for doing so. He was afraid that if his target was too large, he would be obstructed.

After hanging up, Father Jiang walked into Jiang Yao's ward. She sat on the bed without saying a word or showing any expression. The only thing that could be seen from the undried tears on her eyelashes was that she had just been crying.

At the same time, Gu Zhao, who was on the other side, also received the same news as Su Ming.

CHAPTER 304 - PROMISE XU XIAO TO TAKE CARE OF HIM

Gu Zhao remained silent and didn't respond. Yang Zi, who was standing at the side, was stunned. Looking at him, it was as if he had been possessed by a fool. He was wondering if he had suffered a blow, or what it was like.

He couldn't be like this forever. Was it really worth it for a woman? From his point of view, Xu Xiao's situation was a little better. It was worth Gu Zhao treating her like that.

Ah Zhao, you should talk. Don't just sit there. The others are waiting for your reply.

Gu Zhao's mind was blank; he couldn't think at all. What was going on? Why was their bodies all gone? Was there some sort of secret?

All of these questions were like a sudden sledgehammer, catching Gu Zhao completely off guard.

Let them check, even if it's Ashes, I still want to see it.

Gu Zhao's slow words chilled Yang Zi, making him feel as if the temperature had suddenly dropped.

I will try my best, but to tell you the truth, Ah Zhao, the chances of finding it are very small. This was clearly premeditated, and there couldn't be just one or two kidnappers. Last night, you didn't finish walking, so where did you hide?

I know, you can leave. I want some peace and quiet.

Gu Zhao interrupted him and told him to leave first. Yangzi glanced at it, shook his head and sighed before walking out, closing the door behind him.

Gu Zhao was the only one in the empty room. It was so quiet that one could hear the sound of water falling, which was very crisp. Gu Zhao looked out of the window and remained motionless, as if he was motionless.

Xiaoxiao, are you alright? Where are you?

Gu Zhao really regretted arguing with her at that time. If they hadn't argued, he would have just told her. Otherwise, such a thing wouldn't have happened.

He covered his eyes with his hands and sniffed.

When he thought about how Jiang Guang and Jiang Yao had come to apologize in front of him, he felt that it was truly hilarious. He increasingly felt that something was amiss. The targets were all Xu Xiao.

You can't go in, you can't go in. This is …

Aiya, are you annoying? I've already told you, the person living here is my daughter's boyfriend, and my daughter is not here anymore. At least it was before, let me tell you, don't stop me, otherwise I won't be polite with you.

The voices outside the door became louder and louder. Soon after, a person pushed open the door and walked in. A nurse followed behind her, looking at Gu Zhao on the bed with a troubled expression.

Gu Zhao shifted his gaze to the door and heard the nurse say, Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, but I really can't stop him. He has to …

It's fine, you can go down first.

See, I told you everything. We know each other, we know each other.

Xu Xiao's father had an unhappy expression. The nurse, who looked arrogant, immediately blushed as she turned to leave. When he saw that nurse leaving in a rage, he turned around and looked at Gu Zhao with a laughing expression.

Gu Zhao couldn't help furrowing his brows and coldly asked, What are you doing here?

If not for the fact that he was Xu Xiao's father, he would have been thrown out a long time ago. Looking at his expression, Xu Xiao had just had an accident. How could he still be so happy and in such a good mood?

Gu Zhao, I …

Gu Zhao looked over and Xu Xiao's father immediately changed his form of address: No, no, no, Director Gu, Director Gu. Hehehe, don't blame me for forgetting all about it.

What are you doing here? If you have something to say, then hurry up and say it.

He was extremely vexed, especially when he saw the look on Xu Xiao's father's face. He felt an inexplicable rage in his heart. There was no place for him to vent it. She could only endure it. After all, she was Xu Xiao's father.

I came to see you. I heard that you were injured, hehe. Oh right, I have another matter to discuss with you. It's about my daughter, so let's leave this matter at that. Anyways, the Jiang Clan has already given me compensation. Forget it, I …"

What did you say, forget it?

Gu Zhao could not help but interrupt him. With regards to Gu Zhao who had suddenly spoken, Xu Xiao's father was still a little confused. What was going on? Why did he suddenly become so angry? Who had provoked him?

No, Gu Zhao, no, Director Gu. Why are you suddenly so angry?

Let me ask you, is Xu Xiao really your daughter? For a little bit of benefit, she went through all this trouble. Are you worthy of Xu Xiao calling you father after so many years?

This was the first time Gu Zhao had said so much to Xu Xiao's father.

Instead, he said to him, Since that person is dead, it's fine if we can get some money. Furthermore, with the corpse gone, how can we find the murderer? In the vast sea of people, it's not like we can see what he looks like. How can we find him?

Father Xu Xiao spoke without any feelings, as if Xu Xiao was an unimportant person. So what if he died, it had nothing to do with him.

Gu Zhao was quite angry in his heart, but what could he do about it? This was Xu Xiao's father. Even if it was a bastard, it was still her father. Thinking of how Xu Xiao had done so many things for him, in the end, she had only received one sentence.

On the contrary, he was very happy. No one knew how much money Jiang Shi had given him to make her laugh like that.

Just how much benefit did Jiang Guanzheng give you that you can still smile?

Father Xu Xiao looked indifferent as he said, Then what can I do? Don't tell me that the meat in my mouth is going to let it fly? Aiya, I say, Director Gu, let's just forget about this matter. If there's one less Xu Xiao, you can go find another woman. It's not the same, why hang yourself on a tree, is it?

That's right, the young miss of the Jiang Clan Group is not bad. Look …

Scram, immediately. Otherwise, don't blame me for being impolite.

Director Gu could not tolerate a person like him, so he was making things difficult for Xu Xiao.

Xu Xiao's father was shocked. He never expected Gu Li to suddenly lose his temper. What was the point of it? Did he say something wrong? Since Xu Xiao was already dead, why did he do this?

However, looking at his appearance, it was better to just forget about it. Enduring a period of calm, it would not be a good thing to provoke him. More importantly, it would be difficult to get his help in the future.

Alright, alright. I'll go, I'll go. Don't be angry, Director Gu. If you get sick from anger, you won't be fine. I'll come back in two days …

F * ck off.

A glass suddenly fell beside his feet with a 'bang'. Daddy Xu Xiao subconsciously jumped back a step and patted his chest at the entrance. He said softly, Thankfully I moved fast, or my head would have bloomed.

Before he could react, another cup fell at his feet. He didn't even dare to look at Gu Zhao as he quickly ran away.

CHAPTER 305 - PROMISE XU XIAO TO TAKE CARE OF HIM

You don't need to care about Xu Xiao's name, Director Gu.

"Ah!

Father Xu Xiao let out a blood-curdling scream before finally falling onto the road. It was because he had accidentally fallen on the ground when he was running out. Due to a small rope, he did not hear it when he was running.

In the end, his leg had thought of something and he ran straight into the line. He turned around and kicked right into the heart of the enemy, causing him to fall flat on his face.

He was lying on the ground. Yang Zi, who just came back from buying a cup of coffee, saw this scene and almost laughed out loud.

Xu Xiao's father held his waist as he slowly stood up. Just as he wanted to curse at the nurse, he heard Yang Zi's unrestrained laughter before he opened his mouth.

He quickly lowered his head and hurriedly ran away from her.

A small heart.

Bam!

Xu Xiao's father hit his head on the door as he looked back at Yang Zi and hurriedly left. Leaving behind a Yang Zi who almost fell to the ground laughing, the entire corridor was filled with his laughter.

It sounded like a lunatic going crazy.

The nurse beside him also had an awkward expression. It was unknown if it was because of Yang Zi's helplessness or because of what happened earlier that made her speechless. She didn't know what to do if she stayed. She couldn't leave for a while, nor could she stay.

Yang Zi was done laughing, so he got up from the ground, wiped the tears from his face, and said to the nurse, Go back to your work. Go back to your work.

The nurse nodded dumbly.

Oh.

After pushing her cart away, Yangzi sniffed and adjusted himself to go in. Smiling, he opened the door and said to Gu Zhao, Ah Zhao, you didn't know that I just saw a fool fall right into the rope. On the way out, he even bumped into the door and almost faked his loss. Haha …"

Are you done laughing?

Yang Zi's laughter slowly died down until there was no expression on his face.

Enough.

He put away his expression and sat beside Gu Zhao.

How is it?

Yang Zi knew that the matter he was referring to was the matter regarding Xu Xiao's corpse. He shook his head. There's really nothing wrong with that. Many of the things at the scene were gone. In addition to last night's rain, even clues were washed away.

He expressed helplessness. It wasn't that he wasn't diligently searching, but that he really couldn't find it. If he could, how could he not move?

Ah Zhao, how about we just let this matter go. I heard Tan Feng say that the dead body is … Xu Xiao. She's already …"

Shut up. Xiaoxiao isn't dead. She isn't dead.

Gu Zhao coldly interrupted him. Since Yang Zi stopped talking, he shut his mouth. At this time, Gu Zhao was truly terrifying, just like a cold-faced King of Hell, frightening people to death.

What happened to you? Why are you acting like this? Who pissed you off?

Yang Zi slowly approached the chair and immediately stood up before sitting on it …

Tch, tch, tch, Xu Xiao isn't dead. She isn't dead.

Yang Zi was afraid that if he went against him later on, he would be the one to suffer.

"By the way, the doctor said you could leave the hospital. Do you want to go home or come to my place?

On the way here, he went to the doctor, who told him that Gu Zhao could be discharged from the hospital. He basically didn't have any serious problems, except that he didn't have to touch water on his arm.

Gu Zhao didn't say anything, and Yang Zi didn't know what to say for a while. He kept feeling that something wasn't right. He might as well not say anything and wait for him to speak first.

However, after waiting for a long time, Gu Zhao didn't say anything and just stood there, frozen in place.

"I'll go get you the discharge procedures. Hand over the money first and you can think about it slowly. It's up to you anyway. I will do my best to tell you about Xu Xiao's matter, but what I can tell you is that there must be other people among those abductors.

With that, he glanced at Gu Zhao and realized that he still hadn't responded. In the end, he could only sigh and leave.

After Yang Zi left, Gu Zhao closed his eyes. Right now, all he could think about was Xu Xiao, what had happened to Xu Xiao there, and a kind of hatred, hatred for Jiang Yao, and hate for everyone in the Jiang family.

It was all their fault. If not for them, Xu Xiao would not have died.

This belief had taken root in Gu Zhao's heart and seemed to have already been confirmed.

Just when Gu Zhao was thinking hard, a small figure appeared at the door. She quietly opened the door and didn't walk in directly. Instead, she looked around before finally opening the door.

Hearing the noise, Gu Zhao looked towards the door. It was Jiang Yao, who wore the same hospital gown as him. She turned around and looked at him with a haggard face. Gu Zhao's face immediately turned gloomy.

What are you doing here? Haven't you been humiliated enough?

His tone was not too good, but Jiang Yao understood it as well. After all, he had just lost Xu Xiao.

I know that you don't want to see me right now, but Gu Zhao, I'm telling you, I really didn't want to harm Xu Xiao, really. I swear to God, if I lie to you, I, Jiang Yao, will die a horrible death."

Such a venomous oath didn't make Gu Zhao feel anything even though he heard it. It was like he had punched him, but it didn't hurt at all. He didn't say anything and just looked at her gloomily.

Jiang Yao thought Gu Zhao didn't believe her and continued, I'm really sorry about Xu Xiao. It's also because of me … however, I'll compensate you, as well as the entire Xu Family.

She had a sincere expression on her face, but Gu Zhao didn't give her a single reaction. Jiang Yao was suddenly speechless. No one cared about her, even if Gu Zhao scolded her or hit her. Don't look at her without saying anything, it made her feel very uncomfortable.

It was worse than scolding her.

Are you done talking? Is it my turn? What they want is money. Your Jiang family has plenty of money, but have you ever thought of Xu Xiao, or of me? If you say you want compensation, how do you think you should make it up to her? "

Jiang Yao furrowed her brows. She didn't quite understand what he was trying to say, so she said, I'll use me to compensate you.

She thought of what Xu Xiao had said to her at the very last moment. If it was before, she definitely would not say such words. However, it was different now. She had said it seriously.

Hur Hur Hur Hur!

Gu Zhao smiled, a strange smile on his face.

Who do you think you are, Jiang Yao? What qualifications do you have to say these words? Now that Xu Xiao is dead because of you, oh! No, she was probably killed by your Jiang family. Just think about the painful look on her face. Do you think I will take you in?

He had changed his face. It was dark and gloomy, and he looked extremely terrifying.

CHAPTER 306 - MARRY GU ZHAO

Oh, I forgot. You liked me from the start. Do you think that I'll be able to fancy you just because you think that Xu Xiao is no longer around?

The mocking tone in Gu Zhao's voice made Jiang Yao very uncomfortable, but she didn't care what it was like. Gu Zhao was right, she just liked him.

Previously, she had said that she should never have any connection with Gu Zhao in her entire life. However, when she saw Gu Zhao later on, her sealed heart started to lose control.

She knew that she wouldn't be able to escape Gu Zhao's spell for the rest of her life.

Whatever you say. I promise Xu Xiao that I will take good care of you.

Jiang Yao was very stubborn. Initially, Gu Zhao thought that if he said a few words to her, she wouldn't be able to bear it and would leave. It seemed that he had underestimated Jiang Yao's thick skin.

What qualifications do you have to mention Xu Xiao? Who do you think you are? Isn't that what you're thinking? Don't use Xu Xiao to talk to me, you're not worthy. "

Jiang Yao frowned. Even though she wasn't half a meter away from him, her heart was separated by thousands of miles. When did they become like this? I remember that it wasn't like this before.

Gu Zhao, I'll say it again. I feel very guilty for dying because of Xu Xiao, but I didn't do it on purpose. I won't be able to see this result. I believe she can see my discomfort, so no matter what you say, I won't care.

Jiang Yao approached him and told him in an unusually well-established tone.

Alright, I'd like to see how bad it is for you. Why don't you mind?

I …

Did I disturb you?

Yang Zi, who was holding the prescription and medicine, stood at the door. He stood there awkwardly, smiling helplessly. He wanted to leave, but he had already seen it. If not, then come in. After all, they were talking and were being interrupted by him.

Yang Zi awkwardly smiled as he could only retreat and not enter.

Why don't you guys chat first, and then I won't disturb you?

Is it done?

Gu Zhao's words were clearly directed towards Yang Zi. His gaze swept past Jiang Yao and landed directly on Yang Zi, who was at the entrance.

Cough, cough.

He coughed lightly and said to Gu Zhao on the bed, It's done. Tan Feng is waiting for you at the entrance of the hospital.

You want to leave the hospital?

After Jiang Yao asked this question, Gu Zhao didn't pay attention to her and directly stood up. Yang Zi took a glance at it before retreating. Jiang Yao, who was standing blankly inside, stood there motionlessly like she was standing still.

At this time, Gu Zhao had already pulled out the needle and stood up. Jiang Yao watched him slowly walk towards her. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a little nervous. Seeing that he was about to arrive in front of her, she wanted to take a step or two back.

What's wrong? Are you still not leaving? Are you still waiting for me to change?

Gu Zhao's voice was like a slowly falling feather, very soft and a little itchy. Suddenly enlightened, Jiang Yao's face turned red as she turned around and ran.

Yang Zi, who was standing at the door, was almost knocked down by Jiang Yao, who had rushed out of the room. Luckily, he was careful and kept his hand on the wall, otherwise, he would have been thrown to the ground.

If he was the same as that person, being smashed like a dog eating shit, then he wouldn't be still alive. With so many people around, it would be terrifying just by looking at it.

He steadied his body and stared at the person who was running away. What happened? Did I miss something? he asked curiously.

Yang Zi touched his head, and before long, they left. Gu Zhao, who had just changed clothes, came out.

Alright, let's go. I'll take the things, your arm! "

He glanced at Gu Zhao's arm and didn't have anything else to say.

No need. Let's go.

Gu Zhao passed by him and walked to the side, followed by Yang Zi, who came out of the hospital with him. They found the car parked in front of the door and he got in.

Upstairs, Jiang Yao saw him get on the car and leave. She did not dare to walk out. He must have been afraid that Gu Zhao would see her, so he hid himself beside the curtain.

What she didn't know was that Gu Zhao had noticed her the moment he had gotten on the car.

….

Ah Zhao, should we go back or where do you want to go?

Tan Feng, who was driving in the front seat, looked back at Gu Zhao and asked. He looked back up and down the road and started the car.

Did he fall asleep? Hello, Ah Zhao.

Gu Zhao didn't reply to his question. Instead, he looked back through the mirror and saw that his eyes were closed. It was hard to tell if he was asleep or not.

To the bar. I want to drink.

It's better if you don't. The doctor said that you can't smoke and stay up late. Otherwise, the wound will slowly heal.

After Yang Zi had warned Gu Zhao, he was met with a glance from Gu Zhao. He immediately shut his mouth and didn't say anything.

You've just been discharged, so it's better if you don't go to the bar.

Tan Feng also spoke up for Yang Zi, but what he did not say was also the truth.

I'm just asking if you're going.

Tan Feng and Yang Zi looked at each other and said almost at the same time, Go, go, go.

Gu Zhao didn't say anything and kept his eyes closed. This person was indeed despicable. As soon as he said it, he immediately said it. However, he couldn't mess with the current Gu Zhao, otherwise … Unwell.

They ran into the bar in the middle of the afternoon. When the waiter saw Tan Feng and the others, he immediately became excited because they were old customers and always had a high price to pay.

So once he saw them, it was like seeing the yuan fly towards him.

He woke up from his drowsiness and quickly walked up and asked, Brother Yang, why are you here so early today?

The waiter smiled. Yang Zi rolled his eyes and asked back, What's wrong? Can't you come earlier?

The waiter choked to the point that he had no words to say. For a moment, the atmosphere became awkward.

Alright, hurry up and bring us to the private room. Bring me the best wine.

In the end, it was still Tan Feng who came up to speak, breaking the awkward silence this time.

Alright, alright, I'll take you guys there.

When they were brought to the private room, the waiter stepped back and patted his head.

What's wrong with Brother Yang today? I feel like he's very angry.

In the past, he was always laughing, but today was different. He seemed to be upset.

He shook his head and pushed his cart down to the wine cellar.

This couldn't be blamed on Yang Zi. After all, he had suffered at Gu Zhao's place, and he was in a very good mood. Yangzi sat down on the sofa and put a pack of cigarettes on the table.

He casually picked up one of the boxes and lit it. Taking a deep breath, that felt great. At the same time, Gu Zhao picked up the wine on the table and started to drink.

CHAPTER 307 - HOLD BACK

Don't drink so fast. Slow down. Slow down.

Because Gu Zhao drank it too fiercely, the wine directly choked his throat and he coughed a lot until his neck turned red. Yang Zi couldn't bear to see him like that.

But what could he do? He thought of Xu Xiao's death, otherwise Gu Zhao's outburst would seem unkind instead. They sighed and said nothing.

Don't keep drinking, eat something to fill your stomach.

Tan Feng brought the snacks in front of him to Gu Zhao. Gu Zhao glanced at them indifferently, then pushed the plates away. The wine on the table was drank bottle by bottle. Seeing the stack of wine that he had just ordered, Gu Zhao entered the room just like that.

Yang Zi and the others began to worry that if they continued drinking like this, there would be trouble.

Stop drinking, A-Zhao, A-Zhao.

Go away.

Yang Zi went to get her bottle, but before she could even touch him, she was pushed away. Yang Zi staggered two steps before stabilizing his body. He wanted to climb up, but was stopped by Tan Feng.

He shook his head at Yangzi, indicating that he should not be impulsive. Yang Zi returned to his seat with a worried look. On the other hand, Gu Zhao was still drinking. The room was filled with the smell of alcohol.

Earlier, it was all beer. In the end, he drank a little and ordered some white wine and whiskey. There were bottles of strong liquor on all these tables. Looking at the dazzling array of bottles on the floor, Tan Feng felt helpless.

This won't do. If we keep on drinking, there will really be trouble. We can't let him keep drinking.

To be honest, this was the second time the two of them watched Gu Zhao drink so much, and he hadn't stopped drinking. Bottles after bottles of wine, just by looking at them, was extremely terrifying.

Nine tenths of the bottles in the room were in his stomach.

Stop drinking. Ah Zhao, I know you are feeling terrible, but you can't torture yourself like this. Even Xu Xiao doesn't want to see you like this in the sky.

Tan Feng was totally heartless when he said this. Previously, when Gu Zhao wasn't with him, the brothers had a good relationship with each other. Ever since Xu Xiao came, Gu Zhao almost never came out to meet up with them.

Once, when he went to find Gu Zhao, he heard Xu Xiao say that they had said bad things about him, that they were hypocritical just to hug his thighs.

He knew why Xu Xiao would do such a thing. It was just that not long ago, something had happened in Yangzi's family. Gu Zhao asked for help, but she was unhappy when he gave her five million.

Previously, she had disliked Xu Xiao and felt that she was odd. She knew that she was a scheming woman. He had told Gu Zhao about Xu Xiao more than once, but he didn't listen.

On the contrary, he had quarreled with them over her. Qin Lang was fine, after all, they didn't interact much. However, he and Yang Zi were different. In the end, Yang Zi was so angry that he didn't contact him for a long time.

This was also the most recent opportunity for them to make up.

Now that something like this had happened, they couldn't help but feel uncomfortable thinking about it.

No matter how bad Xu Xiao was, at least Gu Zhao loved her. It was useless for the bystanders to see clearly. The bystanders would be able to see clearly.

Tan Feng walked in front of Gu Zhao, stretched out his hand to grab Gu Zhao's bottle of wine, but Gu Zhao dodged it. Looking at Tan Feng's attitude, it was as if he wouldn't rest until he got one.

But that was also the case.

Go away.

Gu Zhao frowned but didn't say anything. With a face full of unhappiness, he pushed away the Tan Feng in front of him. Tan Feng didn't expect him to come out like this. Unprepared in any way, he fell in the sand, and this happened.

This scene was completely unexpected, causing Yang Zi to jump in fright. Because things weren't over yet, after Tan Feng was pushed away, Gu Zhe had taken up residence in his previous life and grabbed him by the collar.

Don't worry about it so much. If you want to leave, just leave. I don't need you to care about it.

Tan Feng was stupefied.

Don't be like this, Ah Zhao. We only care about you, nothing else.

Yang Zi saw that the situation wasn't good and quickly pulled the two of them away. At this time, Tan Feng also pretended to turn around from his previous stupefaction. He forcefully shook off Gu Zhao's hand and stood in front of him.

What do you mean, Gu Zhao?

Tan Feng was angry too, he was in a bad mood.

Yang Ziche was stuck between them to prevent the two of them from fighting. He thought that their auras were like an atomic bomb that was about to explode, and he didn't want either of them to give up.

The battle was about to start. They were just missing a fuse and would soon start again.

Don't be like that. We are all good brothers. It's good to be kind and amiable.

Get out of the way, I don't like him for a long time.

The one who spoke was Tan Feng. He pushed away the Yang, and took a step forward. Arriving in front of Gu Zhao, he looked directly into his eyes. Without the slightest bit of fear, he threw caution to the wind and threw caution to the wind.

Do you know what you look like, defeated rooster? Ever since you were with Xu Xiao, you have changed. In the past, Gu Zhao wouldn't be like this, he could handle big things calmly no matter how big they were. But now, what are you doing? If you don't believe that Xu Xiao is dead, go find her."

Tan Feng said loudly, pointing at the door.

Who do you think you are? Why are you saying that Xu Xiao is dead?

Gu Zhao went up and punched Tan Feng. Tan Feng was stunned, so he reacted and gave him a round of response. Even the corner of his mouth had turned green, and a trace of blood still hung from it.

You should know that Xu Xiao is dead. What she can bring you is just trouble. Think about how much trouble she caused with you.

What does that have to do with you? She's my woman.

Gu Zhao punched Tan Feng again and again, and Tan Feng did the same. The two of them wanted to give in to each other, getting more and more ruthless each time.

Yang Zi, who was at the side, was completely dumbfounded. What was going on? Weren't they just drinking and trying to persuade people to drink? Why were they suddenly fighting like this?

Yang Zi rushed forward to stop them, but he was unable to do so. The two of them were locked in a scuffle, and the bottle on the floor made a dong dong sound. Even the people in the room could hear the sound.

Bro, tell me if we should go in and take a look. Don't let anything happen.

The head waiter looked at the door and said, Don't meddle in other people's business. Let's go, let's go, let's go.

He walked in front. The waiter took a look, sighed, and quickly followed.

Yang Zi steeled his heart, went up and grabbed Tan Feng by the waist, and dragged him back. In the process, his face and abdomen were attacked in varying degrees.

Even though it was painful, he endured it.

Stop fighting, what do you all have to say that you can't speak properly? If you insist on fighting, is there a need?

Tan Feng breathed heavily, touching the corner of his own mouth, making sizzling sounds, cursing in a low voice: Damn, this is too heavy.

Pfft.

He spat a mouthful of blood on the ground.

CHAPTER 308 - CALCULATED

Let me tell you, I'm just saying this. Gu Zhao, that Xu Xiao is not a good person. She's a bitch, a whore. I don't want to say anything more. Now that she's dead, she's dead.

Tan Feng picked up the jacket that was placed on the sofa, gave him a meaningful look, then slammed the door and walked out.

What he said was true. One time, unintentionally, Tan Feng had seen Xu Xiao outside the door. She was in the bar, flirting with a person.

That action really made one's imagination run wild. In the end, the man even kissed Xu Xiao on the mouth. Xu Xiao did not say anything. Instead, she hid into his embrace with a smile on her face.

When she accidentally saw him, she immediately let go of that man.

However, Tan Feng really didn't expect that the obedient girl standing in front of Gu Zhao would have such a disgusting appearance. At that time, he didn't say anything and just turned around and left.

Perhaps Xu Xiao had also realized that something bad was going on, so she hurriedly pushed away the person who had come after Tan Feng. He was very depressed. He had already lost the mood to drink and felt that it wasn't worth it for Gu Zhao.

Looking at her seductive appearance, it was most likely more than once.

He did not leave the bar, but leaned against the door and took out a cigarette and smoked. He was considering whether he should tell Gu Zhao about this matter. He wanted to say that he did not have any evidence at the moment. He would not believe how much Gu Zhao treated Xu Xiao.

Thus, he was very depressed, but at the same time, he was also very conflicted. Just as he was deep in thought, Xu Xiao, who had been chasing the other party out, stopped at the entrance. Looking around, he seemed to be looking for someone.

Are you looking for me?

Tan Feng's voice was truly frightening, especially in the darkness of the night. It was even more so. He came out of the darkness, his face hidden by his hat.

Xu Xiao was stunned for a moment before saying to him, Tan Feng, don't misunderstand. I have nothing to do with that person. Don't …"

Before she could finish, Tan Feng interrupted her: Nothing? Hehe! It's nothing, just how did I kiss him? Do you think I'm blind or something? So you are such a person, Xu Xiao.

Hrmph ~

Tan Feng let out a sarcastic snort and continued, I was thinking how you managed to look so pure and cute in front of Ah Zhao. Your acting skills aren't bad.

Tan Feng, you really misunderstood, I just drank too much, really.

Tan Feng stretched out his index finger and waved it in front of Xu Xiao.

No, no, no!

At this moment, Xu Xiao was close to tears.
