Half an hour later, most of the street they were on had been destroyed, causing the populace to scatter in fear.

In the end, a burst of flame from Tang Yisheng scorched Mo Shang’s suit, and he turned to flee, clearly having been wounded in the recent confrontation.

He was not a match for Tang Yisheng at all.

Tang Yisheng didn’t dare to continue fighting; according to Quan Shaoqing’s orders, as soon as he had won against Mo Shang, he was to immediately retreat to the airplane and then rush back to the troops.

Aboard the plane, bright lights shone down from above as Quan Shaoqing pulled Gu Xiaoxi into the aircraft’s door.

Quan Shaoqing suddenly stretched out his hand, pinning Gu Xiaoxi against the wall. Staring into her eyes, it seemed he had something to say.

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes were wide and watery; she didn’t understand what he meant.

"Get off me! What do you think you’re doing!" she saw a stormy tumult in his eyes. It seemed like rage, but not quite rage...

His gaze was more complex than she had ever seen.

Quan Shaoqing wrapped his arm around her and pulled her into his embrace, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Tell me, how should I punish you for disobeying orders this time."

"You..." Gu Xiaoxi found herself at a loss for words, a breath caught in her chest.

"I haven’t caused you any trouble, why punish me? Besides, this operation wasn’t part of an assignment. You have no right to interfere," she said angrily, pushing him away.

Being this close made her feel very uncomfortable.

On Quan Shaoqing’s private plane, there were military facilities to match and four comfortable, spacious sofas.

Gu Xiaoxi’s cheeks were tinged with red as she strode to a sofa and sat down, then pulled out the materials she had copied from her carry-on bag.

Quan Shaoqing touched his forehead with a hand, his expression slightly embarrassed. As long as she didn’t bring up what had happened in the car earlier, maybe the punishment could be avoided!

Some words, though at the tip of his tongue, couldn’t be spoken.

This person always managed to stir up a sense of guilt within him, driving him to do things that made him lose his rationality.

Gu Xiaoxi opened her handheld computer, then connected it to Quan Shaoqing’s computer on the desk, and sent the data she had stolen to major organizations such as the drug enforcement team in Country Y.

Quan Shaoqing answered a call; it was his spy in Country Y, reporting on the current state of the Gu Family.

At the moment, the Gu Family was in chaos. Although there were no injuries, the property damage was immense.

The Gu Family patriarch had suffered a recurrence of his heart attack and had been admitted to the hospital.

Gu Ruicheng and Gu Yunshan were trying to track down the culprit, but without concrete evidence, they could not disclose the identity of the assailant to the media.

Gu Xiaoxi was meticulous and careful in her actions, leaving no room for them to find any leverage against her.

Even if the Gu Family knew it was her doing, what could they do?

Where was the evidence?

In this world, the public only believes what they see with their own eyes. Nobody had discovered any trace of her, and they couldn’t even find fragments of the bomb.

Gu Xiaoxi had calculated this, so she wasn’t afraid of revealing her intentions in front of Gu Yunshan.

She wanted them to suffer a loss in the dark, and then, under legitimate pretense, bring them to justice. Against such people, one cannot be head-on.

Quan Shaoqing hung up the phone, and Gu Xiaoxi sent out all the relevant documents.

At this time, Tang Yisheng and Lin Mi boarded the airplane.

Quan Shaoqing ordered the airplane to take off and then return to the flight path.

After the airplane took off, Tang Yisheng looked at Gu Xiaoxi with a serious expression and said, "You’re too bold. Do you realize how dangerous that was just now?"

He had followed her all the way here to protect her, yet she had ambushed him twice, knocking him out.

Gu Xiaoxi rolled her eyes.

If you’re going to stand in her way, you’d better be capable enough to do so.

"Aren’t I fine now?" she had her own principles for doing things and had naturally calculated everything ahead of time.

If Quan Shaoqing hadn’t come, she would have simply taken a taxi to the airport and caught a flight about to depart, no matter where it was flying to! Then she would transfer to another plane heading to City A.

Even if Mo Shang was incredibly capable, he couldn’t catch her; everything else was a passing cloud.

Now that Quan Shaoqing had arrived, not only did she not have to face Mo Shang directly, but she could also leave on his airplane, which saved her a lot of trouble.

Now that the information had been sent out, she believed it wouldn’t be more than ten minutes.

The countries and organizations that had been closely monitoring the Gu Family would almost all take action.

Country Y was destined to have a sleepless night tonight, with all kinds of explosive news sweeping through the major media like a tornado.

Gu Xiaoxi found the refrigerator, took out a bottle of red wine, poured a few glasses, and brought them to the sofa, "Let’s celebrate my triumphant return tonight."

A twitch appeared at the corner of Quan Shaoqing’s mouth; initially, he had been genuinely worried about her.

After this affair, he hadn’t expected Gu Xiaoxi, despite her young age, to be so meticulous.

"How on earth did you do it, going to the Gu Family, planting a bomb, and they didn’t even know about it? And in the end, they let you go?" Although Tang Yisheng was extremely angry, he had to admit, Gu Xiaoxi, a mere individual, indeed dealt a fatal blow to the Gu Family.

Just the act of ruining the Gu Family at the old man’s birthday banquet was provocation enough to slap the face of the Gu Family resoundingly. Moreover, he felt that Gu Xiaoxi had more moves up her sleeve.

Gu Xiaoxi looked at Quan Shaoqing and saw his cold face before she sheepishly said, "Originally, I didn’t think it would be so smooth, but the Gu Family people are too calculating."

Seeing that Quan Shaoqing remained silent, she continued to explain, "You know about the Duke of Shangbo, right? Apparently, they intended to marry into the Gu Family. They didn’t want to marry off the granddaughter of the Gu Family, so they planned to have me hand over the inheritance left by my mother and then take me in, introducing me to a good marriage opportunity.

That way, they could kill two birds with one stone, trying to swindle my inheritance and facilitate a marriage alliance for Gu Fen.

In the end, I successfully got into their house and precisely searched for their WiFi, hacked into all their computers, and stole lots of incriminating evidence! "

"The Duke of Shangbo? Divorced twice, currently aged thirty-six. It seems the Gu Family is really willing to sacrifice for the sake of the family. If the information is correct, Gu Fen is only eighteen years old. They were actually considering a marriage alliance to solidify the Gu Family’s position in Country Y," Lin Mi whispered, noticing that Quan Shaoqing’s expression was not very pleasant.

"Where are the incriminating evidence you stole?" Tang Yisheng did not doubt Gu Xiaoxi’s hacking abilities and was immediately full of admiration. This must be her backup plan, right?

The Gu Family was done for; if not dead, they would at least be skinned.

"I sent them to Country Y’s drug enforcement group as well as their counter-terrorism organizations and business certification bodies," Gu Xiaoxi picked up a glass of wine and took a sip, only then noticing the fake hair draped over her chest, and she took off the wig.

As the wig fell off to reveal her beautiful black, cropped hair, that innocent face suddenly took on an additional hint of sternness and valor.

Tang Yisheng’s gaze was filled with sheer amazement.

Quan Shaoqing’s expression was cool, but his cheeks bore a suspicious blush.

Lin Mi secretly glanced at Quan Shaoqing, puzzled by what he was feeling. His face was cool, but his cheeks were flushed, and his lips slightly swollen; it all seemed rather intimate, no matter how you looked at it.
