Gu Qingyao lowered her eyes and smiled.

"Sorry Officer Bai, although I am indeed in my so-called state of being single right now, I don't think I'm ready to accept a new relationship." Gu Qingyao said softly.

Bai Qiucheng's back straightened even more. "I only hope that you can give me a chance. I think we can start from being friends."

"Officer Bai," Gu Qingyao looked at Bai Qiucheng, his gaze firm and unquestionable: "I think there's still someone I like in the bottom of my heart. Even though we aren't together, I really do like him.

Bai Qiucheng did not speak anymore, but it was rare for him to laugh.

He rarely laughed, and the lines of his stern face softened.

"Sorry, I was rude." Bai Qiucheng hesitated for a moment, pushed the black coffee in his hand forward, and said: "Would you like another cup?"

Seeing Bai Qiucheng's nervousness, Gu Qingyao felt like laughing, and the corners of her lips did indeed curve slightly, "There's no need for that, Officer Bai. If there's nothing else, I will return first. The company has some things to take care of. "

"Alright, I'll send you off." When he got up, Bai Qiucheng went to settle the bill quickly but found that he had already done it first.

Gu Qingyao laughed: "Since Officer Bai came to my company, naturally, it's for me to act as a host."

Bai Qiucheng was in a difficult situation. He looked at Gu Qingyao for a while before saying, "Next time, I will return it."

"Officer Bai doesn't need to be so courteous." Gu Qingyao was a little surprised and smiled.

… ….

He stayed at the company until night, when Gu Qingyao took care of her own matters and went out.

When he arrived at the central plaza, Li Muyan's car was already waiting there. Looking at Gu Qingyao who was looking around and then rushing towards his car, Li Muyan couldn't help but smile: "Are you that nervous?"

"Right now, we should be in a state of separation, right?" Gu Qingyao whispered.

Li Muyan thought for a while, then laughed: "Indeed."

"Of course I'm nervous..." Gu Qingyao muttered: "I'm worried that it will affect you."

Li Muyan was startled for a moment. He reached out and gently stroked Gu Qingyao's hair and said: "Oh yeah, I saw Ling Xiaoman today."

Gu Qingyao looked over in surprise: "Where?"

"Have lunch with Gu Yanzhi." Li Muyan handed over the camera in his hand.

Gu Qingyao calmly flipped through the photo on the screen, and surprisingly discovered that she wasn't surprised at all.

She never thought that Ling Xiaoman and Gu Yanzhi would part ways. Ling Xiaoman had given birth to two children, and was even more so obedient to Gu Yanzhi. No matter what excessive demands they had, it was as if Ling Xiaoman could accept them all.

Gu Qingyao smiled indifferently, and said: "I just feel that it's very unexpected, that father would actually make such a big fuss out of it with her."

"What are you going to do?" Li Muyan asked.

"Disintegrate from the inside." Gu Qingyao chuckled: "I'm afraid that Ling Xiaoman's tolerance towards me has reached its limit. When the day comes when she really can't take it any longer, she will make her move."

Li Muyan grabbed Gu Qingyao's wrist, and frowned: "You're saying that you want to lure her to do something she shouldn't have done."

"Yes," Gu Qingyao agreed. "By then, Father would probably not be able to protect him either."

The most important person in Gu Yanzhi's heart was Mu Han, but compared to that, as long as he could protect Mu Han, Gu Qingyao believed that Gu Yanzhi did not mind giving up on him.

The problem lay in how this plan could be set up in order to successfully catch a turtle in a jar.

Gu Qingyao massaged her temples, feeling that this matter would require further consideration. She turned her head to look at Li Muyan, and laughed: "Who are you bringing me to see today?"

Noticing Gu Qingyao's delicate makeup, Li Muyan smiled in satisfaction. He reached out and stroked Gu Qingyao's temples and said: "Go to the countryside."

"Eh?" Gu Qingyao froze for a moment, then realized that the carriage was really heading towards the outer ring road.

As they headed towards the outskirts of the city, Gu Qingyao became more and more surprised. There were only a few cars left.

"Did someone just follow us?"

"No, but in order to avoid being followed, I had my men take a little detour." Li Muyan said calmly.

Gu Qingyao did not recognize the road in the first place, and now that she was knocked unconscious, how could she know where she was going?

Fortunately, it was Li Muyan who was by his side, so Gu Qingyao was not the least bit nervous.

Li Muyan thought for a while, but then said: "The place I'm going to bring you to, is a nursing home."

"A nursing home?" Gu Qingyao was a little surprised.

She remembered that Li Muyan no longer had any family members left, so who exactly was the person living in such a remote clinic?

After almost half an hour, just when Gu Qingyao felt that this place no longer belonged to Hai City, the infirmary arrived.

The nursing home looked very secretive, but it was also very quiet.

The person at the door checked Li Muyan's information seriously, then nodded his head, indicating that the car should be allowed to pass.

Gu Qingyao sized up the structure inside with mixed feelings. Suddenly, an idea started to rise from the bottom of her heart.

"Let me show you my father." Li Muyan paused for a moment before replying.

Gu Qingyao was startled.

She subconsciously straightened her back. "But Uncle isn't …"

"That's just an excuse." Li Muyan said as he slightly lowered his eyes, "At that time, father was heavily injured when he returned, and had severe symptoms of drug addiction. Most importantly, father was already suspected at that time, and was obviously unable to continue his mission as a spy. Although his father's body has collapsed as well, he was still able to survive. "

Gu Qingyao looked over in disbelief.

Li Muyan's eyes showed an indescribable look. He took a deep breath and pushed open the door.

Only then did Gu Qingyao see the person on the bed. The person on the bed was haggard and haggard, and only his eyes were still incomparably bright. When she saw Li Muyan bringing Gu Qingyao here, she was obviously more worried than surprised.

"Father, this is my girlfriend, Gu Qingyao."

Hearing Li Muyan's introduction to him, Gu Qingyao subconsciously took a step forward, "Greetings, Uncle."

The person lying on the bed was Li Xiao, a person written in the history of the martyrs in Seahold. He was a person that was viewed as a hero by countless people, but now, he laid in front of them with a powerless attitude.

"You are a child of the Gu family." Li Xiao's voice was a little hoarse. He looked at Li Muyan with a serious gaze: "Mu Yan, what are you thinking about?"
