Disorder in marriage

Yan Zhi got into Gu Yunmo's car and went home.

I don't know if it was because of the blood draw, but I fell asleep as soon as I touched the bed after washing up.

When Gu Yunmo came out of the shower, she hadn't even turned off the light. Lying on the two-meter-wide bed, she looked tiny.

Gu Yunmo sat next to her for a while, then couldn't resist taking a picture.

At that moment, Jiang Jin called him, "President Gu, the person has been found."

"Um."

Gu Yunmo gave a faint reply, got up, went to the dressing room, changed his clothes, and left late at night.

He drove to a villa in the suburbs, got out of the car, and tossed the keys to Jiang Jin.

As dusk fell, all the curtains in the villa were drawn, and dust danced in the beams of light.

Gu Yunmo arrived at the basement, where a man with his hands, feet, and eyes bound was kneeling on the ground, trembling.

"Who...who are you! What do you want!"

No one answered him. Gu Yunmo gave him a look, and Jiang Jin cooperated with a man in a white coat to start drawing his blood.

Upon encountering him, Zhang Baichuan excitedly crawled on his knees, shouting, "Help! Help! What do you want?! You want money, don't you?! I have money! I have money!"

Jiang Jin kicked him over and then ordered two bodyguards to come forward and hold him down.

The man in the white coat held a syringe, and the moment he pierced it, Zhang Baichuan's heart-wrenching screams startled the birds around the villa.

Gu Yunmo leaned against the edge of the table, watching expressionlessly as deep red blood was drawn from his body.

When the volume was close to 2000cc, the man in the white coat stopped and said with difficulty, "If we keep smoking like this, someone will die."

But Gu Yunmo didn't react at all, and Jiang Jin didn't say anything either.

Seeing this, he had no choice but to draw 2000cc. Zhang Baichuan no longer had the strength to struggle, and his lips were clearly turning blue.

Half of the black cloth covering his eyes came loose, and his pupils began to dilate, making it impossible for him to see who was drawing his blood.

"I really can't keep smoking like this! I'll die!"

Gu Yunmo then stepped forward and nudged Zhang Baichuan with the tip of his shoe.

"You know Lu Zhenzhen, right?"

Zhang Baichuan said weakly, "I know him."

Gu Yunmo ignored him, picked up a disinfectant towel, and turned to leave.

As he left the villa, he threw the towel he had used to wipe his hands into the trash can.

Jiang Jin followed behind him. "President Gu, I've already investigated Zhou Zheng, as you asked me to. It seems he and your wife are just friends."

"Okay. You've had a long day. Go home and get some sleep now that you're back."

"Yes."

Jiang Jin opened the car door, Gu Yunmo got in, and they drove home.

He was only gone for two hours, and Yan Zhi changed her sleeping position several times.

When he lay back down in bed, she instinctively turned over and put her arm around him.

Gu Yunmo didn't pull her away, but instead embraced her and gently patted her until she fell asleep.

The next day, Yan Zhi didn't go to work. She was listless because she had donated too much blood.

In the morning, Xia Linglong called her, "Xiao Zhi, did you hear? This morning, Zhang Baichuan was rushed to the hospital due to excessive blood loss. He almost went into shock!"

Yan Zhi was stunned. She looked at Gu Yunmo, who was busy in the kitchen.

Suddenly, I felt a chill run down my spine.

"It was Gu Yunmo who did it, wasn't it?" Xia Linglong exclaimed. "His execution is too strong! I feel that if murder weren't illegal, he would have killed Zhang Baichuan."

Yan Zhi didn't expect Gu Yunmo to be so decisive. In the past, he had always been hesitant and indecisive when it came to Yan Fei's matter.

"Also, the Zhang family sent word that Lu Zhenzhen's money can be returned to her, and she can also raise the child."

Yan Zhi's first reaction was that the Zhang family was up to something, but Xia Linglong said no.

"Brother Zheng just called me; the Zhang family has already sent over the settlement agreement."

Yan Zhi never expected that the case, which she had prepared so much for and which was expected to last two months, would be resolved in just one night.

Sometimes violence is indeed more effective than reasoning.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Yunmo called her to come over for dinner.

He didn't go to work early in the morning; he spent the whole morning in the kitchen making a lot of foods that nourish blood and qi.

Yan Zhi sat down awkwardly. "Aren't you going to work today?"

Gu Yunmo's expression remained calm as he picked up a small bowl and served her soup.

"Jiang Jin is back; he can handle things at the company."

"Jiang Jin is back?"

Yan Zhi feigned absentmindedness, "When did you get back?"

"Yesterday afternoon."

"oh."

Yan Zhi took two sips and then asked, "Zhang Baichuan last night—"

Gu Yunmo interrupted her, "Try this."

It seemed he wasn't going to bring it up again, so Yan Zhi didn't ask any further. She picked up her chopsticks and said thank you in a lukewarm tone.

-

"Linglong, where's Xiaozhi?"

Ling Xiao looked around and realized that Yan Zhi had indeed not come to work.

Xia Linglong stopped in her tracks. "Oh, she's not feeling well today and is resting at home."

Ling Xiao immediately asked, "What happened to her?"

Xia Linglong told him about Yan Zhi donating blood, but Gu Yunmo didn't dare to mention that Zhang Baichuan had hit him, fearing that the Zhang family would find something to use against Gu Yunmo in the future.

Although she disliked Gu Yunmo, she had to admit that he did a very satisfying thing about Lu Zhenzhen.

"Senior, it's okay. If you're worried, let's go to her house to see her after work."

Ling Xiao asked, "She doesn't live with you anymore?"

Xia Linglong sighed, "Senior, Xiao Zhi and Gu Yunmo have already talked things out about the child. Gu Yunmo will definitely be unhappy if I continue to live with him."

Ling Xiao stood still, her long eyelashes blocking the fleeting cold light.

"Senior?"

Ling Xiao snapped out of his daze. "Hmm? What's wrong?"

Xia Linglong said apologetically, "Senior, I used to think that Gu Yunmo treated Xiaozhi badly, so I always assumed that Xiaozhi wouldn't be unhappy if she were with you."

Ling Xiao waited for her to continue, and Xia Linglong sighed.

"But ever since I learned about the child's death, I feel that Gu Yunmo still cares about Xiao Zhi quite a bit."

Xia Linglong hadn't expected that Gu Yunmo would put so much effort into making such a show, but she just didn't want Yan Zhi to be sad.

Ling Xiao asked, "Linglong, you haven't forgotten, have you? His relationship with Yan Fei has always been ambiguous. Even without the child, he has always favored Yan Fei."

"Senior, I'm sorry," Xia Linglong said. "Let's not get involved in Xiaozhi's family matters. I believe she's capable of handling these problems herself. I also wish you find your happiness soon."

Ling Xiao clenched his fists, his brows furrowed, and the words of rebuttal almost reached his lips.

He forced a smile. "Yes, I understand. As long as Xiaozhi is happy, that's all that matters. I'll support whatever decision she makes."

Xia Linglong nodded and playfully punched his chest. "That's more like it! We're best friends for life!"

"Hmm." Ling Xiao suppressed his anger.

"By the way, senior, shall we go see her together after get off work?"

Ling Xiao's expression remained unchanged. "I have a business dinner after get off work, so I won't be going. Please give my regards."
