Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Wu Zhao was gently placed on the bed by Gu Chen.

She shifted uncomfortably, watching Gu Chen wrap himself in a thin blanket.

Then he casually tucked the sleeping Nar into the blanket.

Wu Zhao: ?

Gu Chen raised his hand and touched Wu Zhao's hair, then sighed softly.

"Zhaozhao, maybe you should take better care of your health sometimes, okay?"

Even in the past, she would do anything for the people around her.

Otherwise, why would he impulsively break the Heavenly Pillar... Gu Chen's eyes darkened as his gaze swept over the ring on Wu Zhao's hand.

He could sense the fragmented aura emanating from the ring.

Suppressing his helplessness, Gu Chen tucked Wu Zhao's blanket around his neck.

"You should rest well and stop doing anything reckless. Don't you know your own body condition?"

"Zhaozhao, haste makes waste. I don't know what you're so anxious about, but... in your current state, if you were to face your previous enemies, would you still be able to easily defeat them?"

"What are you afraid of, Zhaozhao?"

Wu Zhao remained silent for a while, then closed her eyes.

I never expected that Gu Chen would see through me.

The fragment of the Heavenly Pillar constantly reminded her of what she had done, and the thought of the broken Heavenly Pillar always gave her a vague sense of foreboding.

"Go to sleep, Zhao Zhao."

Gu Chen's palm, burning hot, gently brushed across her eyelids.

"you……"

Before he could speak, Wu Zhao fell into a deep sleep.

Once her breathing had gradually calmed down, Gu Chen reached out and grasped Wu Zhao's hand, which was adorned with a ring.

After a faint golden light flashed, a familiar fragment appeared before his eyes.

Perhaps sensing a familiar presence, the fragment, after appearing, circled around Gu Chen once in a very human-like manner before settling onto his palm.

"As expected..."

After confirming the fragments, Gu Chen's forehead twitched.

Ignoring the fragment's struggles, he then stuffed it back into Wu Zhao's ring.

"Behave yourself. If she finds out, you won't be able to go back to where you were before."

Gu Chen gave a calm warning, and the previously restless fragments in the ring immediately fell silent.

After glancing at the sleeping Wu Zhao and Nar beside her pillow, Gu Chen hesitated for a moment before reaching out and lifting Nar off her bed.

I casually placed it on the sofa next to the bed.

The group of Qingyao and his friends, who were chatting downstairs, all stood up when they saw Gu Chen come down from upstairs.

"Where is Red Obsidian?"

Gu Chen didn't see Hong Yao and asked.

Zi Yao scratched his head and chuckled.

"I took the child with me."

Xiao Xuan had no one else at home besides Wu Xingyun. He simply couldn't handle the child, so when Hong Yao returned, he had no choice but to ask her to take care of him.

Thinking of Xiao Xuan, Gu Chen paused for a moment.

"how is he?"

I've been paying close attention to Wu Zhao's health these past few days, and I have indeed neglected that child.

"I cried a few times the past two days. I look a little better today, but I'm still a bit listless. With Hongyao around, things should get better."

Hongyao is quite adept at taking care of children, after all, the later Luyao and the others all grew up following in Hongyao's footsteps.

Gu Chen naturally knew this, so he nodded.

"Then let's leave it to Hongyao. How's the investigation into Wu Xingyun going?"

Lan Yao glanced at the messages on his phone, looking somewhat puzzled.

"Qingyao and Heiyao have already contacted the police department, but it seems they haven't treated the disappearance of Young Master Gu and Mr. Wu as a missing persons case yet."

"The amusement park's surveillance cameras have also been deliberately sabotaged. If nothing unexpected happens... the person who took Mr. Wu away must have made preparations at the amusement park."

Zi Yao disagreed and interrupted Lan Yao with a frown.

"That's impossible. Mr. Wu and I took Young Master Xuan out to play that day on a completely spur-of-the-moment decision."

"The original plan was to buy some clothes for Young Master Xuan to wear to school. Going to the amusement park was entirely because Young Master Xuan saw the advertisement on the big screen."

He recalled what happened that day and couldn't help but think that going to the amusement park was a coincidence.

"Could it be that Young Master Xuan deliberately asked us to take him out to play, and then Mr. Wu got kidnapped by those people?"

Xiao Xuan's actions seemed unintentional, and he was just an ordinary child.

Lan Yao was also a little unsure at this point, and she looked at Gu Chen as if waiting for him to speak.

Gu Chen sat on the sofa, pointing to his leg with his finger.

"Regardless of how they disappeared for now, have the garrison found any clues?"

Lan Yao put down his phone and shook his head.

"Three days have passed, and there's still no news? That can't be right!"

Jin Yao raised an eyebrow in surprise.

It's impossible that the security command couldn't find any information in three days. Could it be...?

"It seems someone doesn't want us to find out about Mr. Wu. It must be someone from the military."

"Is it related to the kindergarten?"

Those people's plan to target the kindergarten failed, so they arrested Wu Xingyun as a warning to them.

"Call the military headquarters."

Gu Chen stood up, a sarcastic smile curving his cold face.

“I will go to the military headquarters in person. Doesn’t Feng Boxue want that piece of land? Then let’s sit down and have a good talk.”

"If Qingyao and Heiyao come back, have them go to the kindergarten and protect the people there, especially the principal."

Lan Yao and the other two bowed slightly and responded respectfully.

"Yes, master."

……

On the other side, in the kindergarten, the principal was happily watering her vegetable garden.

It's the weekend, and only she and a few security guards are in the park.

The garden was very quiet.

A faint explosion sounded outside the courtyard wall, and the headmaster, who was watering the plants, looked up with some surprise.

She became alert as she saw several unfamiliar men walking in from outside the damaged wall.

"Who are you people, and what do you want?!"

The man in black at the head of the group seemed to know the headmaster; he had a sinister smile on his face.

"My master would like to invite the head of the park to stay for a few days. Please."

The headmaster was horrified when he saw several people rushing towards him.

Before she could react, a figure flashed past her.

"Bang! Bang!" Two sounds rang out, and several men who had surrounded them fell to the ground.

A figure appeared out of thin air in front of the principal, wearing a black mask.

"roll."

The deep, hoarse voice carried a warning.

The man in black's eyes flickered, and his previously vivid expression suddenly became empty.

A series of crisp laughs suddenly rang out from his mouth, sounding particularly eerie.

"Long time no see, Po Jun."

Po Jun's expression turned cold, and killing intent surfaced in his eyes.

"It's you! It's been so long!"

A long sword suddenly appeared in Po Jun's hand, gleaming with a cold light.

"Traitor, Lian Zhen!"
