It was very scary when a gentle person was ruthless. Gu Teng decided to get rid of Mao Feng, so she told her family about this idea.

The people of the Gu family also supported her idea. Mao Feng always coveted Gu Teng in the dark. If she didn’t catch him, there would be endless trouble in the future.

Yunbao quickly said, “Then what about Sister Lily? Can you make her father never appear again?

Cheng Xi hugged Lily in her arms and said, “Country Y has already begun to investigate Devon. Sooner or later, he will go to prison and won’t come back.”

The second brother, Gu Yu, shook his head and said, “There’s no death penalty under Country Y’s laws. Devon can escape even if he’s in prison. He can still come to you when the time comes.”

Hearing Gu Yu say this, Cheng Xi completely broke down. Letting Devon go to prison was her last hope. She hugged Lily tightly and said in a daze, “Then what should I do? Do we have to live in his shadow forever?

Gu Peng quickly walked over to comfort her. Cheng Xi i s mind had completely collapsed. She hugged her daughter and did not dare to let go and listen to what Gu Peng said.

Old Madam Gu sighed and said, “Cheng Xi is too pitiful to meet such a beast.”

Gu Teng walked over and held Cheng Xi’s hand. “Let’s not cry here. Instead, we should send such people to hell.”

To a mother, the most important thing was the child. Mao Feng and Devon had stepped on their bottom line. In order to protect the child, the two of them would do anything.

Cheng Xi looked up at Gu Teng and said, “Then what should I do?”

“Leave it to us,” Gu Qing said. “We’ll catch these two.”

In order to capture Mao Feng and Devon, the capital’s martial law was not removed even after Yunbao returned. In fact, it was even stricter than before. Even the small hotels began to register their identity cards under the force of the police.

However, the police did not care about those who came to the capital to do odd jobs. They only wanted these hotels to send over identification so that they could investigate the person the Gu family was looking for.

The moment Mao Feng escaped back to the inn, he packed his things and left. Chen Yue knew at a glance that he had been defeated. That brat must have gone home by now.

At the thought of this, her first reaction was regret. She should have scratched her face while the little brat was asleep. Gu Teng would definitely be sad to death when she saw this. She was very regretful to have missed such an opportunity.

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, Mao Feng didn’t have time to comfort her. He took her away. It wasn’t that he valued Chen Yue, but he needed the money Chen Yue had hidden.

Devon saw this scene when he returned with a pile of things. Mao Feng was busy stuffing things into his backpack. It was obvious that he was about to escape.

The two children had already disappeared into the house. He asked, “Where’s Lily? What happened?”

Mao Feng did not have time to answer him. Instead, Chen Yue pounced on him and said, “You haven’t given me the potion. You have to follow us.”

Devon was grabbed by the collar and shook. He quickly pulled Chen Yue away and said, “What exactly happened?”

Mao Feng packed his luggage and carried his bag. “There’s no time to explain now. The police are checking the identities of the various hotels. We have to leave quickly.”

Devon still had the case that Country Y was investigating. He was more afraid than anyone else when he heard the word “police”. He carried his bag and quickly followed Mao Feng. The three of them quickly fled the small hotel.

When they were hiding under the bridge, Mao Feng told them what had happened. When Devon heard this, he was furious. He questioned, “So you couldn’t even stop the two children?”

Mao Feng knew that he was being unreasonable and did not retort, but Devon could not calm down. Lily was his last trump card. How could he let Cheng Xi return to his side if he lost her now?

He paced back and forth under the bridge. ‘You’re a famous wizard, but you can’t even defeat a child. Even if you can’t defeat Gu Yun and Lily, who just started learning magic, can’t you capture them?”

When Mao Feng heard this, he looked up and asked, “I want to ask you what’s going on with Lily. She’s not just a daughter of a wizard. She can actually store so much energy at such a young age. Did you do something?”

Devon immediately stopped talking and turned to look outside, not wanting to answer this question.. Chen Yue said impatiently, “When can you give me the potion?
