The flight back to Beijing was eerily quiet, with not a sound to be heard, and even the flight attendants' service was almost silent.

There was no other reason than that one passenger in business class with a sullen face was too terrifying!

She possessed an unparalleled beauty, yet her expressionless posture as she sat there seemed to exude an aura that made people afraid to utter a sound…

He Lanjue sat up straight, carefully, while Lan Yao sat next to him, looking somewhat nervous.

She said to He Lanjue in an annoyed tone, "You're a captain in the Shenzhen Garrison Command, is it alright for you to just wander around like this?"

“I’ve already reported it. I still have something to ask Master Wu.” Helan Jue lowered her voice. “Um… is what you said true?”

"How could that be!" Lan Yao's voice rose slightly, but he immediately whispered, "Would my patriarch ever take a liking to anyone other than Miss!"

That's true... Helan Jue glanced subtly in Wu Zhao's direction.

Thinking of Gu Chen's stunningly handsome face, she couldn't help but say, "Wow, their child must be incredibly gifted..."

Lan Yao couldn't help but roll his eyes: "Kid, kid, you married the wrong wife and you're still thinking about kids."

Having been directly confronted, Helan Jue wore a bitter expression and didn't dare to retort.

Lan Yao, however, couldn't help but smile like an aunt when she imagined what the future head of the family and the young lady's child would look like.

"Your child must be very cute!"

Wu Zhao, who was taking a short nap with his eyes closed, twitched his eyebrow.

On the top of the plane, a small, bright red figure was clinging desperately to the aircraft to avoid being blown away.

"Aaaaaah, I'm in so much trouble, Master, help me—"

The faint scream was swallowed by the sound of the wind.

……

Three hours later.

Teikyo International Airport.

A discreet car drove away from the airport's VIP passage.

The air pressure inside the car was still very low.

Qingyao, who was driving, couldn't help but keep looking in the rearview mirror.

"Miss Wu..."

Wu Zhao, who had kept her eyes closed since getting on the bus, interrupted him, "Don't speak."

They successfully shut Qingyao up.

They returned to the Gu family villa in silence.

After getting off the bus, Wu Zhao discovered that the two-story house next door, which had been burned down, had been rebuilt very quickly.

Ye Linyan seemed to know she would return, and was standing in the Ye family garden.

"Miss Wu, we meet again."

His face wore an impeccable smile. "I suppose you came back for Gu Chen? It's a pity, he's currently locked up in the Gu family's old mansion, and no one can see him."

"After all, the old man witnessed him molesting his future sister-in-law... and even sent him to the hospital. It seems he's gone mad, hasn't he?"

As he spoke, Ye Linyan observed Wu Zhao's expression.

Seeing that Wu Zhao remained expressionless, he felt a little secretly pleased.

The next second, Wu Zhao suddenly sprang up and punched Ye Linyan directly in the face.

Blue Obsidian/Azure Obsidian: !

He Lanjue: "Excellent boxing skills!"

"I've disliked your face for a long time, and you've been coming at me looking for a beating!"

Wu Zhao raised his fist and delivered a second heavy blow to that face.

She was already annoyed enough, and this guy had to keep nagging her with that smug look on his face!

"Gah! Well done!" Phoenix flew to the side and couldn't help but scream when he saw that familiar face getting beaten up.

"I'd better kill him! Let him seduce the master!" Phoenix couldn't help but cheer in his heart.

But as he looked, he realized something was off. This person with the same face... didn't seem to be that annoying guy?

Ye Linyan was initially stunned after being punched twice, until Wu Zhao grabbed his collar tightly, ready to continue hitting him.

"Zhao Zhao, calm down!" He couldn't help but speak up to stop her. "I told you long ago that Gu Chen is not a good person, why don't you believe me!"

He gripped Wu Zhao's fist. "I truly love you. Why don't you look at me?"

"I think you should die!" Wu Zhao laughed cruelly.

"Phoenix, burn his house down!"

Wu Zhao slapped Ye Linyan away and pointed to the small building that was half-built.

Phoenix called out crisply, "Yes, Master!"

The golden-red flames quickly reduced the half-built building to ashes.

He controlled it very well; not even a single leaf in the bamboo grove next to him was burned.

The bare ground was covered in dust.

"You're really annoying, stop coming near me." Wu Zhao stared at her swollen face. "Next time, it won't just be your house that gets burned down."

Without looking back, Wu Zhao walked into the villa, and casually took the wet wipes that Lan Yao took out.

Ye Linyan touched his swollen face and chuckled foolishly.

"But why...do I insist on getting closer?"

……

Inside the Gu family's villa, Uncle Ni was wiping the table with a worried expression when he heard the noise outside the door and looked up.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao, he exclaimed with delight, "Miss Zhao Zhao is back!"

"Uncle Ni, there's no time to say more. Take me to find Gu Chen."

Wu Zhao knew that the Twelve Guards could not bring her into the Gu family's old mansion peacefully; only Uncle Ni, who had worked there and served the old man, could.

Ni Bo nodded repeatedly: "Yes, Miss Zhao Zhao, I've been waiting for you to come back."

After the gentleman was detained at the old mansion, the Huo family and the Gu family were cut off from each other. His original intention to see the old man immediately was put to rest.

Uncle Ni was an old member of the Gu family, so he naturally knew that things weren't that simple.

Unable to contact the master, and temporarily out of control of the Gu and Huo families. The old man also claimed to have fallen ill from anger, and at this point, the Gu family had become a one-man show for Gu Yang and his group.

It's a dead end.

The only one who can break this deadlock is Miss Wu Zhao, whom the family head is eagerly awaiting.

Fortunately, the Twelve Guards were still able to function normally and were all crammed into the other courtyard.

After putting down what he was holding, Ni Bo immediately perked up.

"Qingyao, go get the car. Lanyao is at home. Ziyao, come with me to pick up Gu Chen."

The Twelve Guards, who had been somewhat anxious, suddenly perked up.

Pick up Gu Chen and take him home.

Beautiful sentence.

There were even hints of tears in Zi Yao and the others' eyes.

Madam Lan, did you see that?

The gentleman has a family now.

Ni Bo's eyes were red, and he let out a long sigh.

He quickened his pace and caught up with Wu Zhao's figure.

……

Qingyao drove very steadily, and along the way, Uncle Ni explained the general situation of the old house to Wu Zhao.

“I’m not sure about the old patriarch’s current situation either. All we got that day was that the old patriarch saw him and Yue Jinsheng’s fiancée in disheveled clothes…”

Uncle Ni also found it outrageous: "I watched Mr. Ni grow up, how could he do such a thing?"

"It must be Yue Jinsheng's doing!" Zi Yao gritted his teeth in the passenger seat.

The car quickly approached the old house.

Wu Zhao also noticed that the number of security personnel on both sides of the road was gradually increasing.

Until they approached a huge, ornately carved gate.

The car was stopped.

"Stop! This is a private residence. Do not enter without permission!"

Ni Bo rolled down the car window: "It's me. I want to see the old patriarch."

The guard was somewhat surprised: "It's actually Butler Ni. Open the door."

After passing through gardens and several villas, the car stopped in front of a huge fountain.

Qingyao said, "It's Mr. Gu Yang and Yue Jinsheng."

Great, she doesn't need to go look for it anymore.

Wu Zhao opened the car door and walked towards Gu Yang and the others.

Gu Yang, sitting in a wheelchair with a smug smile on his face, said to Yue Jinsheng, "This will be our home from now on. We'll dig up all these flower beds!"

"I'll do whatever you say," Madam Yue said shyly, a smile on her face.

Yue Jinsheng also said, "Let's plant some roses that Mom likes. These roses look really old-fashioned."

Wu Zhao's cold voice rang out from behind them: "A sparrow can't become a phoenix, and a pheasant can't fly to the top of a branch."

"Wildflowers and weeds are naturally... no match for precious roses!"

She clenched her fists, and amidst the rumbling thunder, a somewhat bloodthirsty smile appeared on her face.

You damned Heavenly Dao, if you dare to stab me, I'll tear seventy-two holes in the sky, believe it or not?

"..."

The rolling thunderclouds seemed to have wilted, and the raging storm clouds subsided.

Upon seeing Wu Zhao, Gu Yang and the other two were somewhat shocked.

"You, how did you get in here! Bodyguards, someone come and throw her out!"

Gu Yang felt a conditioned reflex of fear towards Wu Zhao.

Just as the bodyguards were about to surround them, Wu Zhao raised his hand: "Phoenix, burn them all..."

"Clothes".
