The dean's smile gradually froze on his face after hearing Shen Yao's question.

He sighed. "Master Chu was a good friend of mine when I was young. He once saved my life. Later, I became a doctor, and I saved his life too. That's how we formed a life-or-death friendship. But over the years, we've all been busy and haven't kept in touch. If his son hadn't had that accident and been rushed to the hospital, I wouldn't have known he was in Shenzhen. Anyway, you saved his son, so you'll have a powerful backer in Shenzhen now."

After a pause, the dean glanced in the direction where the Lincoln had disappeared, seemed to realize something, and smiled helplessly.

"It's getting late, let me take you home."

Shen Yao could sense that the dean was unwilling to talk too much about his past with Master Chu, so she didn't ask any further.

Just as the dean was about to drive his car over, Huangfuhao appeared just in time.

"Dean, there's no need to trouble you. I'll take Yao Yao back."

The dean knew Huangfuhao because it was Huangfuhao who had recommended Shen Yao to him.

"Alright, then be careful on your journey," the dean instructed.

"You too, Dean." After saying goodbye to the Dean, Shen Yao, Huangfu Hao, and the Dean walked together towards the G-Wagon.

After getting in the car, Shen Yao told Huangfu Hao that she would take a nap, but she ended up sleeping all the way to their destination.

Seeing that she was asleep, Huangfuhao deliberately drove very slowly the whole way, afraid of waking her up.

Shen Yao only slowly woke up when the car stopped downstairs and she felt the car stop and the excessive silence.

"Where are you?"

As soon as she asked the question, she saw the familiar old banyan tree.

She rubbed her eyes. "So we're home."

Huangfu Hao smiled gently, "Yes, I just arrived, and you've already woken up."

Shen Yao gently rubbed her temples to calm herself down, thanked Huangfu Hao, and got out of the car.

As Huangfuhao watched her retreating figure walk towards the elevator, he asked, "Aren't you going to invite me up for a bit?"

Shen Yao waved her hand, "Young Master Huangfu, my house is a mess, maybe next time."

The real excuse was that she was just too tired and all she wanted to do was get into bed and sleep.

Huangfuhao knew she was tired, but he asked casually.

Huangfuhao didn't start his car and leave until he saw the lights on in her window.

Shen Yao's wish to get a good night's sleep was ruined by Gu Tianyou.

As she opened the door and prepared to go in, Gu Tianyou appeared out of nowhere and blocked the doorway. "Shen Yao, you never loved me, did you?"

Gu Tianyou's sudden appearance startled Shen Yao, who was wide awake.

Still shaken, she rushed into the house, grabbed a vase from the coffee table, and turned to smash it at the man behind her.

With a crisp, clattering sound.

Shen Yao thought the man behind her would move away.

But to her utter surprise, the man stood there foolishly behind her, looking at her with a strong smell of alcohol.

The vase landed squarely on Gu Tianyou's head.

Blood slowly trickled down his forehead.

After returning from his social engagements, Gu Tianyou drank a lot of alcohol.

He asked Chen Jie to take him to Shen Yao's place.

Chen Jie was an obedient assistant who carried out his boss's orders without question. In order not to interfere with his boss's work, Chen Jie would even wait in the car.

While he was in his car having a rendezvous with sleep, he received a call from Shen Yao.

"where is it?"

Chen Jie was still half asleep and instinctively replied, "Mr. Gu, I'm waiting for you downstairs."

Shen Yao narrowed her eyes slightly and immediately guessed that this was something the master and servant had planned together.

Seeing Gu Tianyou lying on the ground, she couldn't care less about anything at the moment, and hurriedly said in a commanding tone, "Get up here right now, your boss's head is split open."
