The Rest of My Life

Gu Qi pulled the trigger, opened the magazine, and threw the bullet onto the ground. He looked at Zhou Xun and asked, "Third Young Master, are you satisfied?"

Zhou Xun replied calmly, "Yes."

Gucci stared at him coldly.

Zhou Xun said, "I hope Young Master Gu will keep his promise and send your sister away."

Guqi's face was terrifyingly dark as he said word by word, "Three days from now, no matter how bad of an injury A Qiong is, she'll be going to Bern."

The Gu family members were cursing him loudly. He was too heartless, completely disregarding his siblings' feelings. Gu Qi pretended not to hear him and ignored him.

Zhou Xun nodded his head indifferently and said, "That would be for the best."

He picked me up and carried me out.

Guqi didn't stop us either, but the other members of the Gu family stared at us like tigers. A few of the youngsters even wanted to rush up, but Guqi stopped them.

Zhou Xun smiled at him as he passed by Guji. "Sorry to trouble you today."

Guqi narrowed his eyes.

Zhou Xun didn't care about what he was thinking. He just carried me and left.

Halfway there, I couldn't help but turn around and look into the Gu family lobby.

Gucci dropped to one knee, bent down, and picked up the bullet. He held it tightly in his hand, then slowly raised his head and looked directly at the door.

This direction coincidentally faced Zhou Xun's back.

The look in his eyes was sinister and strange, like a venomous snake flicking its tongue. It was extremely terrifying.

I didn't dare to continue watching and quickly hugged Zhou Xun's neck, burying my face in his chest.

Even after getting into the car and driving out of the Gu household, I still didn't dare to breathe too loudly.

Compared to GuQiong's ferocious shouting, Guqi was clearly more terrifying.

I thought, Gucci said, shooting at Gudgeon without changing his expression, that it was already terrible, but his last look was even more frightening, like a door to hell, like a ghost reappearing on earth.

Zhou Xun seemed to have noticed that something was amiss. He lifted me onto his lap and asked gently, "Darling, what's wrong?"

I raised my face and stared at him.

He … They were essentially the same as Gu Qi. They were both so calm and so rational, almost to the point of perverted.

Would there be a day when he would act against me under the pressure of an outsider?

I knew I was imagining things, but the look in Gucci's eyes scared me out of my wits.

Zhou Xun was still looking at me tenderly, waiting for me to speak.

I said in a trembling voice, "GuQiong's elder brother …" "How terrifying …"

Zhou Xun caressed my face and said, "No, I'm here."

I suddenly threw myself into his arms and tightly hugged his waist. "Uncle Zhou, you …" You... Would it become like him? That was his little sister … "How could he do that …"

I mentioned Gucci that time, and Gudrun was especially angry. She probably knew what her brother was like.

Just now, I had been speaking incoherently, but Zhou Xun had already understood what I meant.

He was stunned for a moment before he cupped my face and solemnly said, "I won't."

When I replied with such determination, I was stunned.

He continued, "The situation is different. "I don't have someone like Gu Qiong by my side who doesn't know what is important and what isn't. If there is someone by my side, I will personally do it without anyone reminding me."

That was true. He was a merciful man, and the men around him were very careful. Last time, when Qin Xueman had made a mistake, he had let her take the punishment herself. And although she was hostile to me, she didn't really hurt me. This all meant that under his rule, there would be no one as willful and willful as GuQiong.

Zhou Xun said softly, "Furthermore, the Gu family can't compare to the Zhou family. Gu Qi was forced by me to a corner."

I immediately understood what he meant.

The Zhou family had more background than the Gu family. In fact, in all of China, there were no aristocratic families that could compare with the Zhou family.

A thought suddenly flashed through my mind. Back then when Uncle Zhou was killed, was someone jealous of the Zhou family's overbearing power? I heard that Uncle Zhou was the most successful of the Zhou family's younger generation, and he even had a good chance of reaching that position. Maybe someone wanted to bring down the Zhou family, so they decided to get rid of Uncle Zhou …

No matter what, even though the Zhou family had been hiding their abilities for the past ten years, but the Zhou family had been under military rule for two generations, and was still the most glorious family in the world.

Zhou Xun was merely stating the truth, so there was no trace of arrogance on his face. This was what a true descendant of a noble family should be like. Unlike Gu Qiong, she had been so insolent to the point of forgetting her appearance, and even needed her family to wipe her butt. In the end, she would never be able to return home.

I gradually relaxed.

In truth, Zhou Xun and Gu Qi were completely different people. Whether it was their family background or their way of doing things, they were worlds apart. Guqi was probably the same kind of person as GuQiong. They were both selfish and cold-blooded. Zhou Xun might have been cold and detached, but he was sharp and cold, and would only target his enemies, not his own people.

How did I confuse them?

Thinking of this, I couldn't help but bite the corner of my lips in annoyance. Guiltily kissing Zhou Xun's face, I said, "I understand …"

Zhou Xun smiled and kissed me. "You're not afraid now, are you?"

I unabashedly rubbed against his face. "I was overthinking it …"

Zhou Xun hugged me tightly and said warmly, "To make you afraid is my fault."

I shook my head. "I'm not afraid of you. I was just scared by Gu Qi." After a pause, I sat up in his embrace and said seriously, "I like you so much, even if I'm afraid of you, I'm too timid. It definitely isn't your fault …"

Zhou Xun was amused and pinched my face. "Scoundrel, your mouth is so sweet. Did you drink sugar water this morning?"

I laughed too, carelessly kissing his chin to express my affection.

Whether it's his affection or his scheming, I have to accept it.

Fear was one thing, but acceptance was another.

He would never become gentle and harmless. He was just that kind of person. He would turn the tide and leave everything to his plans. At the end of the day, wasn't I attracted to him? If it wasn't for his charisma, I wouldn't be in such a deep trouble. If he was a dull man, I think maybe I wouldn't be so helpless.

On the way back, I kept thinking about Gudgeon.

He didn't know if the Gu family would keep their promise and send her abroad.

For the next three days, I waited for news from the Gu family.

During this time, I contacted Shen Zixian once.

Originally, I should have returned to the task force, but the summer vacation was about to arrive and school was about to begin. I still had to report to the school, and then I had to devote myself to various clinical trials, so I didn't have the time to go back to the task force.

Shen Zixian was not angry, nor did he nag me. He only told me to find a time to go and take my leave.

He was so happy that I didn't understand. He had tried so hard to get me into the task force, but I didn't get to work for a few days … Is it because he has no patience to keep staring at me when I ask for too much time off?

Thinking of this possibility, I couldn't help but laugh.

Alright, since I was too lazy to deal with him, I made an appointment with him to make a trip to the special task force before school started.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye, and Zhou Xun took me out early in the morning.

This time, he didn't go to the Gu family, but directly to the airport.

By the time we reached the underground parking lot, the Gu family had already arrived.

Gu Qiong had been placed on a stretcher and had already woken up. Perhaps it was because she had suffered a blow, but she was also in a situation of being sent away. Her mood was not high, and her entire being was listless, no longer as haughty and arrogant as before.

When Zhou Xun and I appeared in front of her, she reacted, struggling to sit up.

Gu Qi said calmly, "If you keep making trouble, I won't care about you in the future."
