Chapter 258 Even having someone behind you won't work
Yan Xuzhe's lips trembled slightly.
Then a smile appeared on his face, a smile that was three parts fake, two parts weak, and the rest was full of suppressed hatred.
"I just wanted to say goodbye to her, is that not allowed?"
"Why do you keep emphasizing that it's over? I know she's dead, but I also know she's right here beside you!"
His expression gradually began to distort, and his tone became somewhat frantic.
"She is the woman I love most in my life. Losing her would be worse than death! How could you just walk away like that? How could you so easily convict me..."
Xiao Xuan, who had secretly followed, looked at Yan Xuzhe's ferocious expression with some fear.
His eyes widened, and he looked somewhat frightened.
Shrinking back, he tried to get closer to Yan Xuzhe, who was struggling to control his emotions.
"Dad, what's wrong... Don't do this, I'm so scared..."
His voice trembled with tears as he reached out to hug Yan Xuzhe.
"Get out of my way! Who's your father? You're just a—"
He stopped mid-sentence, suddenly remembering something, and shut his mouth, his face looking extremely pale.
Wu Zhao's gaze swept across Yan Xuzhe's face, a knowing glint in his eyes.
There's definitely someone backing them up...
However, it seems that Yan Xuzhe himself is also very clear about this, and is covering for the people behind him.
She glanced at Xiao Xuan, whose face was deathly pale, and shook her head.
It's pitiful for the little kid.
Wu Zhao took out a jade pendant the size of a thumb from his ring and pulled Xiao Xuan in front of him.
"Don't be afraid."
The jade pendant was placed close to Xiao Xuan's body, his eyes still filled with tears.
He gently patted his back, and Xiao Xuan felt a wave of drowsiness wash over him and quickly closed his eyes.
Wu Zhao waved to Yan Xuzhe from behind.
Qingyao, who had been waiting nearby, quickly came over.
"Take Xiao Xuan away. The child seems a little scared. Let him rest for a while."
Qingyao responded, picked up Xiaoxuan, and left.
Yan Xuzhe quickly adjusted his emotions and straightened his somewhat disheveled clothes.
He then gave a stiff smile.
“Miss Wu, although you refused my request, I will still entrust Xiao Xuan to you.”
He gritted his teeth and said, "But I won't give up until you agree to let me see Qingqing."
After emphasizing it again, still unwilling to give up, Yan Xuzhe left the Gu family villa somewhat resentfully.
Wu Zhao crossed her arms and watched his figure disappear through the gate.
"Nar."
The ring on his hand felt slightly warm, and a figure appeared beside Wu Zhao.
"What are your orders, my master?"
As soon as Nar appeared, he rubbed against Wu Zhao's back, a smile on his beautiful, woman-like face.
"Follow him and see where he ends up."
The handsome young man floated in mid-air, pouting somewhat discontentedly.
"Sigh, I just came out to snuggle with you, Master, and now I have to go out."
"It doesn't want to leave its owner."
Nar stared at her longingly, a hint of mockery in the cat's eyes.
Wu Zhao's face darkened: "Go now."
"Alright alright."
Nar sighed, looking like he couldn't do anything about her, and then disappeared.
They originally planned to find some clues from Yan Xuzhe, but they didn't expect that the person behind him had anticipated this.
Yan Xuzhe had no other aura whatsoever; he was just an ordinary human being.
However, Wu Zhao still sensed a trace of Feng Boxue's aura from the gun in his arms.
It seems I'll need to take a trip to the compound soon.
Wu Zhao became somewhat troubled.
If she goes to a place like that, won't she attract the heavenly punishment?
Frowning, Wu Zhao thought with some uncertainty.
"Zhao Zhao."
Gu Chen's soft voice came from behind.
Wu Zhao turned around and looked up, only to meet his gaze as he looked down from the second-floor balcony.
Gu Chen was still holding a cup of coffee in his hand, a smile appearing in his deep eyes.
"There are baked cookies in the kitchen, your favorite flavor."
Little cookies!
Wu Zhao's expression brightened with joy.
Since things have come to this, let's eat something first!
She pressed her temples and happily decided to eat something first before thinking about anything else.
However, they should know by the time Nar returns.
She walked briskly into the house, just as Lan Yao came out carrying a fragrant plate of food.
The freshly baked cookies are piping hot and look incredibly tempting.
"Miss, come and eat."
Lan Yao had been sent out by Gu Chen to handle other matters and only returned last night.
The first thing she did when she got back was to make cookies for Wu Zhao.
Because Wu Zhao really liked the cookies she baked, Lan Yao's smile deepened at the thought.
I took a small, still-warm cookie and popped it into my mouth. The rich coconut milk flavor and the slight bitterness of dark chocolate were perfectly balanced.
"good to eat."
Wu Zhao smiled and gave Lan Yao a thumbs up, praising him generously.
Seeing her relaxed and content expression, Lan Yao felt very pleased.
"Other flavors are being baked in the kitchen, so you'll have to wait a while."
"Just don't eat too much, Miss, you'll have to eat dinner later."
Wu Zhao's hand, which was about to reach for the biscuit, froze in mid-air.
She touched her hair somewhat guiltily.
"Okay, then I'll eat first and then eat."
After saying that, she slowly walked upstairs with her hands behind her back.
As she passed by Gu Chen's study, she raised her hand and knocked on Gu Chen's door.
"Zhao Zhao?"
Gu Chen's voice was slightly distorted through the door, but he still stood up to open the door for her.
After knocking on the door, Wu Zhao left with a wicked smile, leaving Gu Chen inside the room somewhat amused and exasperated.
"The weather is pretty good today. I hope everything goes well for Nar."
……
Unknown location.
In the pitch-black space, several pairs of eyes could be vaguely seen silently gazing at each other.
"With so many people, how come not a single one of them knows what to do next?"
"You make it sound so easy. If you can handle this Wu Zhao, then go ahead and do it!"
"In other words, this person appeared very suddenly. And with her strength and abilities, who can handle her?"
"If I can't speak properly, then I won't speak properly in the future."
Someone started arguing in the darkness, and the once quiet space suddenly became noisy.
"stop fighting."
"Yan Xuzhe is still useful, so remember to keep him in line."
"Remember, you absolutely must not let Yan Xuzhe and Shen Qingqing meet."
"If he doesn't behave, just get rid of him."
A unique voice rang out, and the noisy environment fell silent in the next second.
“Wu Zhao is the person the leader specifically requested; none of you are a match for her.”
"Before the cult leader makes a move, tell everyone around you to be careful."
"If someone discovers my disguise, don't blame me..."
