"No need, he’s so busy, and I’m very good. Let him not worry," Gu Xiaoxi said, her attitude gentle and her manner modest and polite.

Instead, her attitude left Tang Youling unsure of what to say.

Afterward, Gu Xiaoxi saw Tang Youling making a phone call.

She sat by the campfire, watching Dongfang Le and Bai Yu playing happily. Holding a skewer of meat and eating it, a smile also appeared on her lips.

She thought, herself a wild child who had come from a small city, was fortunate enough to play with a group of noble ladies, truly a great blessing.

When bored, she didn’t know who had passed her a cup of wine, and as she drank, she felt herself floating away.

In the dead of night, Gu Xiaoxi woke up with a splitting headache from the alcohol.

There was no water in the bedroom, so she had to go out to the kitchen refrigerator on the boat.

As she stepped out of her room, a breeze in the hallway made her shiver from the cold.

She got a shock and turned on the light in the hallway.

If she remembered correctly, Luo Yiyan had come with a female companion...

Obviously, because she turned on the light, she had interrupted the two’s intimate moment.

Luo Yiyan was obviously drunk, his sexy eyes tinged with intoxication, his gaze becoming increasingly blurred and seductive. When he saw clearly who he was kissing, his expression turned cold and, without mercy, he pushed the woman away and walked off disheveled.

Ren Yun was clearly sober. After being seen and pushed away by Luo Yiyan, she still had a face full of regret, pretending to hastily straighten her clothes.

Afterward, seeing Luo Yiyan leave, she looked at Gu Xiaoxi with hostility in her eyes.

"Did you deliberately turn on the light to embarrass us?" Ren Yun angrily walked up to Gu Xiaoxi.

Gu Xiaoxi lifted her lips, a look of disdain on her face, "You’re really disgusting! Luring men to your room, don’t block my way in the corridor."

Ren Yun’s face immediately turned black, and she grabbed Gu Xiaoxi’s shoulder, trying to push her down the corridor, "How can you speak like that, which eye saw me seducing him, he clearly forced himself on me."

Gu Xiaoxi’s eyes turned cold, she stared back at her, and with a firm grip, she shook off her wrist.

Her strength might not have been great, but it was enough to deal with Ren Yun.

"It seemed like you enjoyed being ’forced’! I’m warning you, don’t touch me with your dirty hands," Gu Xiaoxi turned and quickly walked toward the living room.

Ren Yun stood still, only seeing Gu Xiaoxi’s flowing curly hair and her light steps as she disappeared from view.

It was the first time she realized that Gu Xiaoxi could be intimidating when angry, her grip so strong, it hurt her badly. Just having been seen by her, would she say something to Bai Yu?

After all, Luo Yiyan and Bai Yu...

"Bitch, you’ll be abandoned by Bai Yaxuan one day, and then I’ll deal with you," Ren Yun thought darkly.

...

Gu Xiaoxi found a bottle of mineral water in the refrigerator, drank half of it in one go, and felt a bit better.

But as she was walking back, she suddenly heard a gunshot from upstairs. If she remembered correctly, that was Quan Shaoqing’s study.

Now in the dead of night, what had happened in the study?

Gu Xiaoxi carefully carried the half-bottle of water upstairs.

The door to the study wasn’t closed, and she tiptoed up, peering into the room from the doorway.

Just one glance was enough to scare her, and the half-bottle of water in her hand dropped to the floor.

The atmosphere in the room was tense, Bai Yu was pressed against a table by four bodyguards, her arm injured and blood flowing.

Young Master Quan sat in the office chair, his expression cold, his dark eyes radiating a bloodthirsty aura. Even from a distance, Gu Xiaoxi shivered all over.

Chen Zhi and Chen Lu stood to one side in terror.

And Fu Zhe, holding a weapon, stood face to face with Quan Shaoqing.

Her arrival seemed to have interrupted the explosive atmosphere of moments before, and everyone turned to look at the doorway.

Seeing Bai Yu’s pale face, Gu Xiaoxi strode forward, trying to push away the black-clothed bodyguards holding her, anxiously asking, "What happened?"

Bai Yu also struggled, and although Gu Xiaoxi pushed hard against the black-clothed men, she didn’t manage to push them away.

Everyone just looked at Young Master Quan’s expression.

Gu Xiaoxi quickly covered Bai Yu’s bleeding arm wound, if the blood kept flowing, she would die.

Then she looked at Quan Shaoqing, "What on earth happened, why did you do this?"

Quan Shaoqing’s face was cold as he glared at Bai Yu, his gaze that of an unforgiving deity. He waved his hand at the bodyguards.

The bodyguards let go of Bai Yu.

Bai Yu immediately collapsed onto the floor, weakened, her complexion even worse, ashen.

"Xiao Xi, this isn’t your business. You better leave," said Bai Yu, apparently not feeling the pain, her expression panicked as she pushed Gu Xiaoxi away.

If Gu Xiaoxi hadn’t seen anything, she might have left, but now that she had, how could she just walk away?

She took Bai Yu’s hand, turning to Quan Shaoqing again, "What did she do wrong for you to treat her this way?"

"Ask her yourself!" Quan Shaoqing’s tone was icy. He casually pulled a cigarette from a golden metal case, and with a powerfully controlled flick of his lighter, the dim flame cast an even more ruthless shadow on his face.

A bad feeling clenched in Gu Xiaoxi’s heart; she found it strange that Bai Yu had asked her to look for a signal and then ended up on Quan Shaoqing’s boat.

Now, she was almost certain that Bai Yu’s boarding Quan Shaoqing’s boat had a purpose!

"What did you do?" Gu Xiaoxi’s palms grew cold. She clearly remembered someone being killed here last time and then dragged away and thrown into the sea.

Now that Bai Yu had been caught, she must have done something that endangered Quan Shaoqing’s interests.
