Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 139 Debts Must Be Repaid

The ambulance quickly took Shen Jiaojiao and the others away.

Ye Linyan was also about to leave when he walked over to Mo Dahai and whispered a few words to him.

Mo Dahai looked somewhat troubled, but still nodded and replied, "Okay, Mr. Ye, I know what to do."

Then Ye Linyan walked to Gu Chen's side, his gaze lingering on Gu Chen's arms.

"...You won't always be this lucky." Ye Linyan's expression was complicated. "Gu Chen, you won't be so lucky next time."

Gu Chen simply raised his hand and pulled Wu Zhao into his arms even tighter.

Two pairs of remarkably similar eyes met.

A golden luster shimmered in his eyes. Gu Chen spoke softly, as if he didn't want to disturb the person in his arms.

"I've already won, haven't I?"

His voice rarely revealed such emotion: "From the very beginning, you lost."

"Have you forgotten how she reacted when she saw you?"

Ye Linyan clenched his fists, a flash of fury crossing his eyes.

If it weren't for you—

Wu Zhao, who was in Gu Chen's arms, suddenly moved, successfully making Ye Linyan swallow back what he was about to say.

The two fell silent at the same time, and heard the sleeping Wu Zhao murmur, "...My lord, my lord..."

"Ha!" Ye Linyan laughed out loud, "It seems that who will win in the end is still unknown!"

After saying that, he turned and left, walking very quickly.

Gu Chen lowered his eyelids and looked at Wu Zhao: "...Zhao Zhao, who...are you thinking about?"

……

Wu Zhao didn't go to the hospital in the end because she woke up abruptly when Gu Chen put her in the ambulance.

The two bloody holes in the tiger's mouth had healed at some point, without even leaving any pain.

The doctors and nurses who came to her aid didn't find anything wrong with her, but Wu Xingyun, who had just woken up and came to find her, looked pale.

His listless appearance almost made the doctor think he had some serious illness.

"Grandma, you scared me to death..." Wu Xingyun's lips were still a little pale, and she spoke weakly.

Wu Zhao knew that he was affected by the Yin energy in the Yellow Springs Yin Gate, and because of his special physical condition, the reaction would be even stronger.

The best course of action is to rest and recuperate quietly for a while.

He handed him a spirit-gathering talisman to help him recover. Wu Zhao looked at Lan Yao, who was waiting nearby, and said, "I'm fine now. Take him to get checked out."

Fortunately, the ambulance belonged to the Gu family, and Lan Yao gave them a few brief instructions before letting them take Wu Xingyun back to the hospital.

When Wu Xingyun left, she was quite reluctant to part: "Waaah, Grandma, you must take me with you when you leave—"

Then Lan Yao ruthlessly stuffed him into the ambulance.

After they left, Wu Zhao turned around somewhat slowly.

"Uh... let's go see what the director should do next."

Seeing that she kept her head down and refused to look at him, Gu Chen's eyes flashed with a smile.

He said, "Okay, I don't know if we'll continue recording."

His silence about the previous ambiguous kiss relieved Wu Zhao.

He quickly nodded and changed the subject: "But we've been recording for so long, it must have generated a lot of buzz for the director!"

As Wu Zhao spoke, he walked toward the house where Mo Dahai was.

Following slowly behind her, Gu Chen's gaze remained fixed on Wu Zhao.

That gaze was so focused and hard to ignore that halfway there he suddenly heard Wu Zhao's somewhat stiff voice say, "You, you shouldn't keep looking at me like that!"

With a barely perceptible hint of embarrassment in his voice, Wu Zhao rubbed his temples: "Hey, we're all adults! Don't take this little accident too seriously!"

"Zhaozhao... what does this mean?" Gu Chen's voice came from behind, "You... don't intend to take responsibility?"

What responsibility?!

They just kissed! They didn't do anything else inappropriate, right?

Besides, this isn't like three thousand years ago when touching hands would be considered indecent...

"What responsibility? Don't talk nonsense! I didn't do anything..."

As Wu Zhao grew increasingly aware that something was amiss, he looked up and saw Mo Dahai and a group of staff members standing dumbfounded at the door.

Wu Zhao: ...I wonder if it's feasible to kill them now to silence them?

A low, hoarse rumble of thunder echoed in the sky, as if in response to her.

No!

"Uh, we didn't hear anything!" Sensing her murderous aura, Mo Dahai swore to the heavens, "I just came out, and the weather has really changed drastically..."

Wu Zhao: Your topic change was really abrupt.

Seeing that Mo Dahai was at a loss for words, Gu Chen walked up to Wu Zhao and asked, "The recording for today shouldn't be over yet, right?"

Speaking of this, Mo Dahai chuckled: "It's not that it's not over yet. Mr. Ye gave me a few words of advice before he left."

"I'll talk to everyone when they get here. We're about to start filming. I need to let the audience know I'm safe!"

Mo Dahai is in a great mood right now because during the break in the broadcast, he browsed Xingbo and found that the show was extremely popular.

He was already quite satisfied with the fact that he had occupied several high positions on the trending topics list.

Seeing Mo Dahai's radiant face, Wu Zhao knew that he had achieved his wish.

She walked up to Mo Dahai and, taking advantage of a moment when everyone had left, lowered her voice and said, "Did you use the talisman I gave you?"

The karma on his body is gone, and it seems that the person who plotted against him has paid the price.

Mo Dahai's expression froze for a moment before he nodded.

He struggled for a long time after taking the talisman given to him by Wu Zhao, not only because the other party was his disciple whom he had painstakingly trained over many years, but also because he couldn't be so cold-blooded...

Only after returning home and seeing his wife and family, who were still weak even after recovering, did he make up his mind to take back everything he had given to that person.

So he burned the talisman paper as Wu Zhao had asked.

Just now, I saw that familiar name at the end of Xingbo's trending topics.

Former star director Yu Ran's career has collapsed; his alleged involvement in bribery and tax evasion has caused significant harm! He may face imprisonment!

Seeing that Mo Dahai was somewhat downcast, Wu Zhao patted him on the shoulder: "Alright, now that the karma has been settled, don't think about it anymore. As long as your family is safe and sound, you have a clear conscience."

"Thank you so much, boss." Mo Dahai was a little embarrassed. He knew very well that he had a personality flaw: he was indecisive and not ruthless enough.

With a forced smile, Mo Dahai said, "I'm fine. Just wait a moment, we'll be able to start recording again soon."

"It will be over soon, it won't take too long."

After he hurriedly left to prepare, Gu Chen approached Wu Zhao.

"You... helped him."

Wu Zhao nodded: "Yes, he came to me for help, I can't just stand by and watch him die."

"...So the wicked deserve their fate?" Gu Chen asked strangely, as if...

Then ask if that person is dead.

"How would I know? That depends on the judge's ruling." Wu Zhao shrugged, speaking nonchalantly. "China's laws should be quite comprehensive, right? He should receive the punishment he deserves."

Gu Chen's eyes lit up when he heard what she said.

Then he reached out and grasped Wu Zhao's hand, their fingers intertwining.

Sensing the other person's approach and presence, Wu Zhao raised her hand in surprise: "What... what are you doing?"

Has this chosen one of Heaven gone mad?!

Gu Chen lowered his head and whispered in her ear, "Zhao Zhao, I was just about to ask you this."

"Was that your first kiss?"

What……?

Wu Zhao paused for a moment, and the unexpected kiss on the island, which wasn't really a kiss, suddenly flashed through his mind.

Then she heard Gu Chen say, "I always feel that kiss was somewhat familiar."

The pressure on his hand suddenly increased, and his voice whispered in my ear: "You tampered with my memories on Pearl Island, didn't you?"

"So, the dignified...mysterious sorcerer is actually a heartless woman who seduces and abandons men?"

Wu Zhao felt as if struck by lightning, wishing he could disappear on the spot.

Ahhh, Dog Heavenly Dao's own son is indeed no good either!
