“Did something happen?”

The car fell silent for a moment before Dongfang Liuyun finally asked. Even though she did not want to ask anything, she saw his slightly furrowed brows and asked anyway. She drove the car into a parking space in the side lane.

“Zimo seems to be in a bit of trouble. I have to go over quickly, you...”

“I’m fine, quickly go, that’s more important. There’s a subway station up front, I’ll just take the subway. It’ll be pretty fast and I won’t get stuck in the traffic jam,” said Dongfang Liuyun as she unbuckled her seatbelt, opened the door, and got out of the car.

Qi Lei also quickly got out of the car and helped her get her backpack.

Dongfang Liuyun reached out to take it. Just as she was about to turn around, her slender figure had just passed by when Qi Lei suddenly reached out to grab her—

He did not know why, but when he saw how nonchalant she was, he suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. “Yang Sheng has already rushed over. Wait for him. The subway is too crowded, so it’s not convenient...”

Dongfang Liuyun also stopped in her tracks. She turned her head and looked up slightly at him. Naturally, she could see the apologetic and helpless look in his eyes. She could not help but chuckle, “Alright now, I’m not some ignorant woman. If you really feel bad, lend me that sunset dusk painting...”

“I’ll give it to you. I’ll give it to you when I get back!”

Without waiting for her to finish, Qi Lei had already finished her sentence.

Dongfang Liuyun raised her eyebrows. A faint ripple appeared on the corner of her indifferent mouth. She nodded happily, “Alright, go on then.”

As she spoke, she reached out and gave him a symbolic hug. Before he could react, she quickly retreated and strode towards the entrance of the subway station.

The faint fragrance faded. By the time he regained his senses, Dongfang Liuyun’s figure had already disappeared at the entrance of the subway.

...

A moment later, he quickly got on the car and rushed to Guangming Temple in the western suburbs.

Guangming Temple in the western suburbs was only a small temple. It was located halfway up the mountain in the western suburbs. Normally, the incense was not very strong, but it was very quiet here. Zhou Zimo would occasionally come here because the scenery was lovely.

Qi Lei rushed to the parking lot and stopped the car there. He followed the direction that Zhou Zimo had just told him and walked into the limestone path. Behind him were two bodyguards in black that Yang Sheng had arranged for him.

At this moment, there was no one around. It was very quiet. The cicadas’ chirping made the surroundings even quieter.

“President Qi, this path seems to lead to the back of the mountain,” one of the bodyguards in black reminded him.

The few of them had already walked a long way down the path. Qi Lei was still calling Zhou Zimo’s cell phone, the call went through, but no one picked up.

Qi Lei had no choice but to put away his cell phone. He frowned and quickened his pace.

‘Woof woof’

‘Woof woof, woof woof’

After walking for some distance, they suddenly heard a fierce dog barking in front of them. The few of them immediately became alert. Qi Lei also subconsciously stopped walking. Two bodyguards in black blocked Qi Lei behind him, and the few of them continued to walk slowly.

“Go away!”

“President Qi, it’s President Zhou!”

The bodyguards in black in front sharply recognized Zhou Zimo’s voice and said in surprise.

“Quickly go over and take a look!”

Qi Lei hurriedly quickened his pace. Soon, as the dog barking became clearer, the few of them soon arrived at an open space at a turn. Five large dogs were surrounding a tree and barking fiercely under it. That stance...

Qi Lei suddenly seemed to realize something. He looked up from the tree trunk and saw Zhou Zimo squatting on the branch. His hands were tightly hugging the branch beside him. His handsome face was filled with fear, his legs were trembling as he looked at the dogs barking at him. That look...

He quickly took a few steps back and gestured. He could not help but laugh, but he held it in. He raised his hand slightly and said softly, “Get Ah Yuan to get some meat. Hurry up. Don’t act rashly.”

“Okay, President Qi!”

The bodyguard in black quickly made a call.

Zhou Zimo, who was on the tree, cursed with a livid expression—

“Bloody hell, where were you?! Why did you take so long to get here? Hurry up and get rid of these mad dogs. Hurry up! Get lost—”

He coughed a few times and roared hoarsely.

The mad dogs surrounding the tree had naturally noticed Qi Lei and the others long ago. They gave them a few sidelong glances and ignored them. Their target was still Zhou Zimo on the tree!

How did this fellow offend these ferocious big guys?

Qi Lei could not help but be surprised.

...

‘Cough cough’

“Laugh if you want to. Don’t act like this, stupid!”

When they returned to the car, Zhou Zimo took the wet towel and wiped his face and hands. Looking at Qi Lei who could not help but laugh, he could not help but say coldly.

“I didn’t expect that I, Zhou Zimo, would one day be bullied by dogs!”

He gritted his teeth as he said this, yet his eyes were filled with helplessness.

Qi Lei laughed out loud as he looked at the aggrieved Zhou Zimo, “What’s going on? Why are you here so early in the morning? Mu Yuchen and the others have been looking for you for quite some time. You’re so elusive. Aunty Liang went to your office to arrest someone, but she didn’t see anyone.”

“It’s a long story. I don’t even dare to go home now.”

Zhou Zimo raised his hand to rub the space between his brows, “The old man at home has gone soft with his tricks when he can’t take it anymore. He’s used all sorts of tricks, especially when Chen is compared to those two bastards, Su Chen. Now, the two of us are in the same boat.”

Qi Lei’s handsome brows raised when he heard this—

“Did the old man give you a death order again because of the matter with his granddaughter-in-law?”

“What do you think? Recently, I’ve been hiding as much as I can. Before the blind date banquet, there were no less than 20 matches. I’m about to go crazy! Thinking of how quiet this temple has been for a few days, I didn’t expect to be targeted by a group of vicious dogs. When a person is unlucky, even drinking water can choke them to death.”

Zhou Zimo threw the towel in his hand to the side. His dark eyes could not help but turn cold.

“You should indeed find a woman,” Qi Lei laughed.

“Don’t do this. I’m telling you, be careful, or I’ll really break up with you!”

Zhou Zimo reached out and brushed his messy black hair. He glared at Qi Lei, “I’ll stay at your house for two days.”

“No, it’s not convenient.” Qi Lei rejected him without thinking.

“I can arrange a hotel for you.”

“Why not? Are you hiding a mistress in your house, or is there something shameful in your house?” Zhou Zimo frowned.

“You’re the only one who talks too much. If Aunty Liang or your grandfather finds out about this, they’ll skin me alive!”

Qi Lei replied calmly, “Besides, hiding like this isn’t a solution. You still have to solve it from the root.”
