Chapter 11: The Gu Family’s Protection Order

Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Master Gu’s heart was in a mess. If the younger ones weren’t around, he couldn’t have cared less about how he would appear and just gag his wife that morning to avoid the embarrassment.

“It seems that I have handed my daughter-in-law a little too much work to the point where she even forgot the four basic bands of common courtesy. It’s my fault. I shall let Xuan’er handle the matters of the corporation then.”

Madam Gu turned around stiffly. She had not expected herself to be schemed against by someone younger than her.

“Father, you know Xuan’er well. He doesn’t like to handle these kinds of matters. How about-”

“You also know that Xuan’er doesn’t like this.”

Madam Gu quickly shut her mouth. It would be a mistake for her to speak any further. She decided to swallow her pride and tears today.

The old master of the Gu family continued to speak. “My humble abode is quite small and can’t usually fit this many people. Master Gu, you may leave and don’t come back too soon. I’m already old and need my peace and quiet.”

“Dad-”

The old master did not give Master Gu a chance to speak as he turned to leave.

Xie Ru sat, remaining innocent as if everything that had just happened had nothing to do with her.

Her calmness made Bai Yunhua do a few double takes at her. How did Xie Ru manage to find the opportunity just now to let the old master overhear what Madam Gu had said? Could it be that Xie Ru could actually see?

Impossible. He and Gu Liao had tested her back at the villa. It was impossible for her tricks to escape their eyes. Was it because she couldn’t see that her hearing was better?

This was the only possible explanation.

Xie Ru sat in the back seat of Bai Yunhua’s car. The man drove very steadily and Xie Ru took a few more glances. Although this person was usually uninteresting, he had very high attention to detail.

No wonder Gu Liao held him in such high esteem.

Suddenly, a car appeared from the intersection and headed straight for them.

The oncoming headlights shone on them as bright as day. Xie Ru did not have time to react before the impact of the collision came. Her seatbelt tightened on her and she immediately felt pain in her chest as she almost choked.

Before she lost consciousness, Xie Ru saw the person in the car that crashed into them smile sinisterly.

When she woke up again, she was already in the hospital and Aunt Chen was taking care of her. When Aunt Chen saw that Xie Ru had woken up, she became genuinely happy for her. According to the doctor’s examination, she only had a minor concussion in addition to a few skin abrasions.

“Fortunately, Young Madam is fine. That driver was so reckless to drink and drive.”

Xie Ru did not answer but changed the topic.

“Aunt Chen, how is Young Master Bai?”

“Don’t worry, Young Madam. Young Master Bai is fine. He’s just a little bruised. He had woken up a long time ago.”

Xie Ru nodded. When that person crashed into her, Bai Yunhua took most of the impact, which made Xie Ru ask with concern.

Suddenly, Xie Ru said, “Aunt Chen, I want to eat some fruit tang yuen. Can you help me buy some?”

Aunt Chen fell into deep thought as she hesitated to leave. But after Xie Ru’s repeated assurances that she would not run around, Aunt Chen finally left.

Xie Ru then slipped into the toilet and took out the mini communicator she had hidden on her body. She sent a text message to one of her usual contacts, Joseph.

“Hello, lovely lady. How have you been recently?”

“Mr. Joseph, I have a favor to ask you. Please help me look into someone.”

“Oh, it’s my honor to receive your request. Please, do tell, my dear.”

“Xie Zhen of the Xie family.”

“What happened, my dear? Did this Xie family offend you? Can’t you just get rid of him? This is not your style.”

“Mind your own business. Don’t ask irrelevant questions. If Q doesn’t reach out to me soon, I’ll go ahead and act alone.”

“Oh, please don’t, my dear. This person’s identity is special. You shouldn’t act alone. I’ll contact Q again.”

The same method, the same operation. ‘Xie Zhen, don’t you have any other methods to use?’

“The Gu Family Protection Order. Gu Liao, you’ve really gone mad. All for a woman.”

“Bai Yunhua, I’ve implicated her. The Gu family wanted to use the same method to destroy Xie Ru.”

“F*ck.”

Bai Yunhua cursed in her heart. As expected, it was impossible to guard against them. Each and every one of these people had dirty tricks up their sleeves. Xie Ru had already shown the respect necessary to the Gu family, but these people actually wanted Xie Ru’s life.

“Beep.”

“What?”

“Joseph.”
