Wei Yang grabbed Gu Yuzhi’s arm. With his training from a special unit, he easily pulled Gu Yuzhi to the back door.
The courthouse’s back door, normally closed for years, was open at this mont. Outside, a low-key dark gray SUV was parked.
"Professor Gu, don’t you rember? We t in Qingcheng when you were acting as Ms. Xi’s lawyer."
"You are... one of Bao Gucheng’s n?"
"Get in the car, they’re all waiting for you inside."
"But why would Bao Gucheng be here..."
Although it was Bao Gucheng who answered the call last night, offering an eight-word hint that inspired him to rush back overnight to investigate and perform so smoothly in court, winning the case. But there was no reason for Bao Gucheng to co pick him up and shield him from the reporters, was there? Since when did the big bad wolf beco so kind and generous, eager to help?
"You, just a coincidence."
The car door opened, and Bao Gucheng in the driver’s seat gave him a casual glance, his tone cold enough.
Then he heard excited voices from the back seat:
"Uncle!"
"Professor Gu."
"Brother, get in the car quickly!"
Gu Qiusha, Xi Rubao, and Wu Qianman were all there, along with Xi Zuzi in the passenger seat, who turned her head and gave him a casual nod.
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
Alright, so he was indeed picked up "by the way".
During the ride, Xi Rubao was quite excited. Since Bao Gucheng wasn’t at the scene, she happily narrated the courtroom battle, describing it vividly for Bao Gucheng.
"Hahaha, seeing that Shangguan Wanwan getting frustrated made so happy. Mom, I wonder if I’m being a bit unkind, isn’t she one of our Gu family relatives?"
"No, business is business, personal matters are personal." Gu Qiusha was open-minded, yet couldn’t resist teasing Gu Yuzhi, "I just wonder if brother feels a bit sorry for Shangguan Wanwan?"
"Uncle, uncle, what are you thinking about?"
Xi Rubao noticed Gu Yuzhi staring at his phone, lost in thought, and reminded him.
Gu Yuzhi quickly put away his phone.
As soon as he got in the car, his phone received an anonymous threatening ssage again: "Gu Yuzhi, you’ve got guts to backstab and return to the capital? Seems like you don’t care about your sister’s scandal being exposed! Just you wait, I’ll certainly choose a ti to give you a big gift."
His heartbeat accelerated instantly to the extre.
He returned impulsively after receiving Bao Gucheng’s eight-word hint last night, actually worrying about the possibility of revenge today from the other side.
But fully imrsed in the case defense, he completely forgot about it. Now that things are settled, this hidden worry stood out even more.
What to do? The lawsuit was won, but his Sha Sha was in greater danger, with the risk of having her reputation ruined at any mont!
Who on earth was that despicable threatener?
He was burdened with worries and responded absentmindedly to Xi Rubao’s cheerful questioning, "Just a bit tired, nothing much."
From the front row, Bao Gucheng comnted aptly, "You’re getting older, your stamina isn’t great."
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
Initially intending to endure, but this concerned male dignity, he couldn’t help retorting, "Bao Gucheng, you’re not young either, how dare you say that to ?"
Bao Gucheng calmly glanced at Xi Zuzi, "Miss Zuzi, tell him how my stamina is?"
Without much thought, Xi Zuzi lazily nodded, "Hmm, Xiao Cheng has a lot of strength."
Last night, holding her and feeding her midnight snacks, his hands didn’t even tremble for a long ti.
"Satisfied?"
"Quite satisfied indeed."
Having received a positive response, Bao Gucheng’s eyes swept over Gu Yuzhi through the rearview mirror, "Did you hear that?"
Gu Yuzhi: "..."
Had he known earlier, he wouldn’t have responded just now, ended up being mocked anyway!
Fortunately, Xi Rubao intervened tily, "Mr. Bo, uncle is still vigorous despite age, he was truly amazing today. Besides the courtroom battle with Shangguan Wanwan, who would’ve thought of such swift actions outside the court that solved so many major issues!"
Actions outside the court?
Gu Yuzhi was dumbfounded, how did he not know himself?
