Chapter 396: Chapter 396: Difficult Journey
On the other side, Song Chen and Gu Chu returned to the capital.
In the evening, Gu Chu packed her bag and prepared to go to school the next day.
The teaching style of the genius class was deeply liked by Gu Chu. Free and unrestrained, Gu Chu was the youngest student in the class. She was well-behaved, cute, and adorable. She was taken care of by everyone.
A six-year-old’s life was as simple as going to school, walking the dog, and playing on the computer after school.
However, Gu Chu realized that Cheng Qi hadn’t been showing up lately.
In the past, Cheng Qi would come to play with Gu Chu at least once a week. However, Cheng Qi hadn’t come to visit her for more than half a month since the snow mountain trip ended. He only asked Bobo to pass the candies and pastries to Gu Chu.
“My brother has been very busy recently. It seems like he has a job in America.” At school, Bobo had a helpless look on his face. “I haven’t seen him all day, let alone you.”
Gu Chu was puzzled. “A job in America?”
Bobo nodded. Of course, he could not say that his brother was investigating Cheng Qingyun who had fled to America.
Cheng Qingyun had been getting more and more arrogant recently. She thought that she had hooked up with the Ming Corporation and had a powerful fiancé, so she bribed an assassin to attack Cheng Qi in the snow mountain.
With Cheng Qi’s personality, he probably wouldn’t let Cheng Qingyun off.
Of course, he wouldn’t let Cheng Qingyun die so easily either. In ancient times, how could beheading someone with a single slash be enough of a punishment?
Cheng Qi would use an even crueler method — to attack someone’s heart first. He would set up a long and cruel trap, eroding Cheng Qingyun’s living environment inch by inch, squeezing her living space, and causing her to suffer heavy physical and mental injuries.
This kind of revenge could last for years or even decades...
Sigh, thinking of the arrogant Cheng Qingyun, Bobo secretly lit a candle for her.
Sometimes, living was more painful than death.
If God wanted to destroy her, he would first make her crazy.
“But I wanted to play with Brother Cheng Qi.” Gu Chu pouted.
She wanted to get close to Cheng Qi and carefully investigate this youth’s background. In the past, Gu Chu only treated him as a small character in the sadistic novel and didn’t pay too much attention to him. But ever since she accidentally discovered another side of Cheng Qi’s ruthless methods on the snowy mountain—
She was very interested!
She wanted to properly study Cheng Qi!
Unfortunately, Cheng Qi seemed to know what she was thinking. If it was possible for him to not show up, then he wouldn’t show up.
Gu Chu wanted Bobo to take her to Cheng Qi, but this brat found all sorts of excuses to refuse! It was infuriating!
Bobo comforted him, “Chuchu, my big brother is the big boss of the group, and he’s very busy every day. Chuchu, be good, don’t make a fuss. I’ll buy you a lollipop later.”
Gu Chu: “...”
Stop trying to coax a six-year-old child.
Gu Chu pouted, and crystal-clear tears appeared in her big eyes. If you don’t let me look for Cheng Qi, I’ll cry.
Bobo looked at Gu Chu’s watery eyes and was about to comfort her. An angry voice sounded, and Ma Ling’er, the class belle of the genius class, was burning with anger. “Cheng Menglu! You’re bullying Chuchu again! How old are you?! How do you have the nerve to do that?”
Bobo frowned. “This is the computer floor, why are you coming to our place every few days?”
Ma Ling’er placed her hands on her hips and scolded, “I’m worried that you otakus are bullying the kid. Look, I caught you. Chuchu is about to cry. What kind of ghost story did you tell Chuchu?”
“None of your business. This is our computer team’s business.” Bobo huffed.
Gu Chu rubbed her eyes and looked at Ma Ling’er with her watery eyes.
Ma Ling’er looked at her and felt her heart ache. “Cheng Menglu, just you wait!”
As she said this, Ma Ling’er ran away. Not long after, the homeroom teacher, Zhou, ran over in anger. Then —
Bobo was punished to scrub the toilet and copy the school rules ten times.
Bobo felt wronged, “Sir, I really didn’t bully Chuchu. Chuchu, you have to stand up for me.”
Gu Chu grabbed Ma Ling’er’s hand and did not let go.
Bobo was speechless. This little girl was pretending to cry. Did you adults not see her?
At night, Bobo returned home with the stench of the toilet.
When he saw his big brother who was working in the study, Bobo wanted to cry but had no tears. “Brother, why haven’t you gone to play with Chuchu recently? She’s venting her anger on me. This little girl, sometimes I even suspect that she’s not a six-year-old child.”
She was extremely difficult to deal with!
Cheng Qi covered his nose with a look of disdain. “Go take a bath. You stink.”
Bobo grumbled, “It’s all because of that child! Brother, you’re also a hacker. Do you know how important hands are to us hackers? I used these hands to clean the toilet for the whole afternoon today!! Brother, you have to bring justice.”
Cheng Qi gave him a look, and Bobo left the study feeling wronged.
Cheng Qi sighed faintly.
Gu Chu was not stupid. She had probably already discovered something.
Cheng Qi was a little flustered. He did not dare to show his face in front of Gu Chu. In front of Gu Chu, his every word and action would probably be magnified endlessly. He would be studied carefully. With the smell and thinking ability of Ace of Hearts, she would soon discover that Cheng Qi was the prosecutor Chen Si from her previous life.
In her previous life, Chen Si had initially been ordered to hunt down Ace of Hearts. He had used all kinds of methods, and he had severely injured Ace of Hearts several times.
Ace of Hearts hated Chen Si to the core.
Later, during the chase, Chen Si gradually began to see the maverick and arrogant Ace of Hearts in a new light, and he gradually developed a different kind of feeling for her.
By the time he realized that he had completely fallen in love with this cunning little fox, it was already too late.
The pursuit of his wife was extremely challenging.
Nobody could mend the hole between him and Ace of Hearts.
Who would fall in love with a man who would kill you at any time?
Ace of Hearts wouldn’t. She just wanted to castrate him with a knife.
“Sigh...”
Cheng Qi rubbed the space between his eyebrows helplessly. He knew that that day would soon come.
—
Gu Chu didn’t wait for Cheng Qi to show his face, so she couldn’t be bothered with him.
Regardless, he would have to come out for a walk sooner or later. No matter how well he disguised himself, there would come a day when he would reveal some clues and expose his whereabouts.
..
On this weekend night, Gu Chu, Zhao Yan, and Lin Xiaozhou sat in front of the television and watched the live broadcast nervously.
Tonight was the award ceremony of the Capital Film Festival. Gu Manxi had contributed superb acting skills in “The Return of Spring Breeze” and was nominated for “Best Actress.” Tonight, they would announce who would win all the major awards.
“It has to be Mommy.” Gu Chu clenched her fists.
Lin Xiaozhou hugged the pillow. “It has to be sister Manxi. The female lead of ‘The Return of Spring Breeze’ is the goddess of countless people!”
In the live broadcast, the film festival awards ceremony had already begun.
The first awards to be announced were the smaller ones, followed by the grander awards. The winner of Best Actor and Actress would be announced at the end.
Gu Chu watched television, and the Best Supporting Actor award was announced. It was Zhang Qi’s role as a bodyguard in “The Return of Spring Breeze.”
“Uncle Zhang Qi is also very good,” Gu Chu praised.
Zhang Qi was born as a martial arts actor. What was rare was that he also had outstanding acting skills. In the movie, he played a bodyguard who had turned over a new leaf. He did not hesitate to protect the female lead with his flesh and blood. In the end, he died tragically at sea. Such a tragic role was vividly portrayed by Zhang Qi.
