"How did you know?" Gu Haoyuan asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Of course I know. I have inside information. I heard you've practically squeezed all the profits out of them?"

Gu Haoyuan couldn't help but laugh: "You're quite resourceful."

"Of course!" Lin Huayin said smugly.

Seeing Gu Haoyuan's ambiguous smile, Lin Huayin pouted.

“Okay, I admit it, I’m coming clean. It was Ni Jiazhi who told me. He’s already taken over the family business, hasn’t he? He even said he was very grateful to you for helping to clean house, which saved him a lot of trouble.”

Gu Haoyuan snorted lightly: "He is quite good at talking and dealing with people. It would be a good thing for the Colombo family to have him in charge."

"But speaking of which, I really owe you a lot this time. If you hadn't arrived in time, I don't know what would have happened."

Recalling the fear of being kidnapped, Lin Huayin shuddered again in dread.

Gu Haoyuan put down the tablet and took her small hand in his large one.

"Don't be afraid, it won't happen again, I promise."

Lin Huayin felt a warmth in her heart and grasped his large hand in return.

"Well, I believe you."

[Ahhh, I don't know why, but Gu Haoyuan is getting more and more handsome the more I look at him. It feels so good to be protected like this. No, no, Lin Huayin, calm down! Don't forget your 10 billion yuan and your life as a rich woman! Men are just passersby, fleeting moments.]

Gu Haoyuan was speechless.

This little girl's outward appearance and inner self are always so contradictory. It's truly exasperating.

"By the way, how's Qi Linbai doing?"

Upon hearing this name, Gu Haoyuan's eyes turned cold.

"He was quite alert; he ran away beforehand, taking a fake passport and fleeing to Thailand." Although his tone was calm, Lin Huayin inexplicably sensed a murderous intent within it.

"However, he may be able to run away, but he can't hide. I will crush his company, his connections, and all his assets in China, bit by bit!"

[OMG, has Gu Haoyuan gone dark? He seems even more handsome now that he's dark, hehe~]

“However,” Lin Huayin suddenly probed cautiously, “Although Qi Linbai was involved in my kidnapping, I feel like you hate him quite a bit, and it seems like you’ve been targeting him all along. Do you two have some kind of grudge?”

[I have a feeling that Gu Haoyuan knows he's the enemy. Is this the bond between the protagonist and the cannon fodder?]

Gu Haoyuan remained silent for a long time.

“If I told you that I once had a dream,” he said slowly, “in which Qi Linbai caused the destruction of my Gu family and even killed me, would you believe me?”

Lin Huayin: !!!

"Holy crap! Gu Haoyuan actually had a precognitive dream! He actually foresaw the plot of the book! Could it be because the fate of the Gu family changed, and the luck of the male and female protagonists in the book was damaged, so even he, the cannon fodder, awakened?"

Gu Haoyuan heard her scream in her heart, but he remained outwardly calm while his heart was filled with turmoil.

—The male and female protagonists in the book? Cannon fodder awakening?

Fine, let's just let Hanon think that's how it is. It'll be an explanation for her.

He couldn't tell her right now that he could hear her thoughts, but he would definitely tell her the moment the restriction was lifted.

He continued, "And in that dream, he even killed you!"

"What? You killed me?" Lin Huayin suddenly looked up, her eyes wide.

“That’s right,” Gu Haoyuan stared at her, his eyes deep and unfathomable.

"Therefore, no matter the cost, I will never let him hurt you or the Gu family again!"

Lin Huayin was completely dumbfounded. She wanted to say something, but found her mind was blank.

Wait a minute, let me sort this out.

Gu Haoyuan dreamt about the original plot of the book? Did he realize I wasn't the original owner of this body, but a transmigrator? ...Probably not! Otherwise, he would have already captured me, locked me in a lab, and dissected me for research. So why is he telling me all this now? Is he testing me, or is he telling the truth?

Lin Huayin's mind was a complete mess, but she tried her best to remain calm. "Oh, I see. Well, your dream was pretty accurate! Haha."

She chuckled dryly twice. "Actually, I've had similar dreams too. I dreamt about Lin Huixuan and Qi Linbai, that scoundrel, who ruined my life. That's why I especially hate them."

Gu Haoyuan's eyes flickered slightly.

Hanon was testing him.

"Really?" He smiled slightly. "Perhaps we're having the same dream. Because we're telepathically connected."

"Uh...maybe."

How am I supposed to respond to that? Why did the atmosphere suddenly become so ambiguous?

Each lost in their own thoughts, they stared at each other silently for a few seconds, then suddenly laughed at the same time.

"Forget it, forget it, who cares about dreams or not? The important thing is that we now know Qi Linbai is going to be in trouble, and Lin Huixuan won't be able to cause trouble for long!" Lin Huayin waved her hand.

“That’s right,” Gu Haoyuan nodded. “After we return to China, what do you plan to do with Lin Huixuan? Do you need my help?”

"No, no, why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut!" Lin Huayin narrowed her eyes, revealing a sinister villainous smile. "Leave this matter to me! Hehehe..."
