Xia Yangyang saw the pain in Gao Huizhi’s face, so heart-wrenching, such agony.
Gao Huizhi was gripping Xia Yangyang’s shoulders. "You’re not to ddle in these matters anymore, do you understand? If not for your sake, think about Xia Ye, understand? Promise !"
Gao Huizhi had said this sort of thing before.
But this was the first ti he had said it with such finality.
Xia Yangyang felt as though her shoulders were about to be crushed by his grip.
Xia Yangyang nodded sowhat dazedly, "I understand, godfather, I understand."
Gao Huizhi closed his eyes.
It was as though he was covering up all the pain and helplessness.
When he opened his eyes again, Gao Huizhi had regained his composure.
Gao Huizhi straightened up, turned around, and even his voice beca calm. "Yangyang, godfather really has your best interests at heart. I don’t want you to be in the slightest bit of danger. I’ve always thought of myself as strong, but I can’t even protect the people around , ti and ti again."
From Gao Huizhi’s words, Xia Yangyang sensed endless helplessness.
The noodles were ready.
They still tasted as delicious as ever.
Little Xingxing also loved them imnsely.
Xia Ye had woken up.
He was very happy to see Gao Huizhi.
After dinner, Xia Yangyang received a call from Gu Qichen.
Gu Qichen knew she was in Beijing.
So, upon returning from his business trip in Japan, he went directly to Beijing.
Xia Yangyang went to the airport to pick him up.
Liu Jie was following beside Gu Qichen.
Xia Yangyang had instructed Liu Jie to make sure to bring bodyguards on business trips.
In fact, Xia Yangyang had been more worried than Xi Zijun that soone might wish Gu Qichen harm.
That’s why whenever Gu Qichen went out, Xia Yangyang wanted him to have bodyguards.
Liu Jie was forrly from the special forces. Due to entanglent in a previous drug trafficking case, he resigned from the criminal police force and was arranged by Gu Qichen to beco the head of security at Shengyuan.
Now, whenever Gu Qichen went on business trips, to put Xia Yangyang at ease, he brought Liu Jie with him.
Liu Jie was also very familiar with Xia Yangyang.
So, that evening, the three of them had hotpot together.
Gu Qichen stayed temporarily at the Kyoto Hotel that night.
After taking a shower, Gu Qichen ca out and saw Xia Yangyang standing by the window, lost in thought.
He walked over, hugged Xia Yangyang from behind, and kissed her ear. "What are you thinking about?"
Xia Yangyang didn’t move or respond, only saying, "I’m thinking about a lot of things. So things, I just can’t figure out."
Gu Qichen, however, perked up. He took so wine from the cabinet, poured two glasses of red wine, walked over, and handed one to Xia Yangyang. "If there’s anything you can’t figure out, you can tell . Maybe I can help you solve it."
Xia Yangyang originally wanted to tell Gu Qichen about her doubts.
But Xia Yangyang could guess Gu Qichen’s reaction.
It would surely be the sa as her godfather’s.
They both didn’t want her to continue investigating and getting involved in these cases.
Xia Yangyang decided not to say it, only saying, "Xi Zijun ca to see a few days ago."
Gu Qichen had no particular expression, just a nonchalant "oh" before asking, "Did she want anything from you?"
"She only said that Xi Jiaxin was frad."
Gu Qichen said, "Regardless of whether he was frad or not, she shouldn’t have co to you. This matter has nothing to do with you. Don’t get involved anymore."
Xia Yangyang had only tentatively probed.
And indeed, Gu Qichen reacted that way.
If she had truly said everything, surely Gu Qichen would stop her.
Xia Yangyang was resolved to investigate to the end.
It was not that she wanted to show off.
But she might be the only person who knew many of the insider details and clues.
A sense of responsibility and a journalist’s sense of justice tornted her psychologically.
Knowing that the investigation was not complete, aware that there was a significant scandal within, she simply could not convince herself to remain indifferent.
And most importantly, it involved people important to her.
If the real target behind the scenes was Gao Huizhi, and Xiao Zhan and Phoenix’s wedding was the second plan to target Gao Huizhi,
But Gao Huizhi didn’t die.
What about the third step?
Xia Yangyang didn’t dare to imagine.
Moreover, Xia Yangyang already had suspects in mind.
This only fueled her determination to proceed step by step.
Xia Yangyang didn’t bring up the matter again. "Ah Chen, are you going back tomorrow?"
