Chapter 34: Chapter 33 The Feeling of Being Watched by a Wolf “` “Then who were you investigating for?” Gu Qiaoqiao asked disdainfully. “For…” That word “you” that Qin Yize was about to say got swallowed back down under Gu Qiaoqiao’s angry gaze. Qin Yize, who had never thought his actions would be disdained and questioned, felt a surge of shame and annoyance that was completely new to him. “Who you’re investigating for has nothing to do with me, I only want the results I desire. As for anything else, I have no interest whatsoever,” Gu Qiaoqiao said indifferently. Qin Yize’s eyes darkened. Unmoved, Gu Qiaoqiao continued to look at Qin Yize with mocking eyes, “Hurry up with your investigation then. In a few days, you’ll be leaving. Wouldn’t it be a waste if there isn’t enough time and all the big talk becomes empty words?” Qin Yize stared fixedly at Gu Qiaoqiao, this little woman who seemed to have put up countless spikes around herself; she really didn’t understand him at all. He walked toward Gu Qiaoqiao with even steps, each one powerful and seemingly carrying an overwhelming sense of pressure. He was like a wolf that had spotted its prey, a cold light flashing in his eyes as if calculating the best spot to bite. And such a Qin Yize made Gu Qiaoqiao want to turn around and run away. But she gritted her teeth and stood her ground. Qin Yize stopped just one step away from Gu Qiaoqiao. He looked intently at Gu Qiaoqiao, and for some reason, he had the urge to pluck out all the spines from this little woman’s body. Although he did not like the her from before, he also did not like her now, filled with hatred towards him. Why was that? If she wished to love, she could love; if she didn’t, she could just divorce. Was he, Qin Yize, some kind of object? His mouth slowly curved into a smile. At this moment, no one else existed in his eyes. He spoke to Gu Qiaoqiao word by word, “Gu Qiaoqiao, I will clear up the matter within two days. You like results, don’t you? So, just wait peacefully.” Searᴄh the NôᴠeFire.ηet website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality. Gu Qiaoqiao opened her mouth, wanting to retort, but suddenly she had another thought. She knew the ins and outs of this place all too well. What Qin Yize’s final investigation conclusion would be, whether true or false, no one could be clearer than her. She was looking forward to it. If Qin Yize really found out the truth, what would he do? “Fine, I’ll wait,” Gu Qiaoqiao said, word for word. Qin Yize did not overlook the flicker of interest in Gu Qiaoqiao’s eyes. He reaffirmed once again that Gu Qiaoqiao knew the inside story. He gave Gu Qiaoqiao a deep look, his lips pressing into a cold, straight line, then turned around and strode out of the room. Gu Qiaoqiao’s shoulders sagged after all. Even having lived two lives, she still felt very tense in the face of Qin Yize’s imposing aura. It had nothing to do with experience. Because Qin Yize’s presence was cultivated from a young age, it was intrinsic to him, and coupled with his habit of leading medical teams to the most dangerous of places, his personality carried both the compassion of a medic and the cold ruthlessness of human nature. Having lived together for three years in her past life, naturally, she knew him best. At this moment, a sense of apprehension and unease rose in Gu Qiaoqiao’s heart—she felt as if she were being targeted by Qin Yize. Like a wolf, merely waiting for the right moment to pounce and snap her throat. Gu Qiaoqiao shook her head vehemently; if it came to it, she would rather he remained as indifferent as he had been in the past. Clang, clang, clang… The sudden knocking scared Gu Qiaoqiao. Her face turned a bit pale. Besides Shen Manru, no one else would knock on her door. “` Because Qin Xuan would never come. Gu Qiaoqiao frowned, but instinctively called out, “Come in.” Shen Manru pushed the door open. Standing at the doorway, she looked at the graceful Gu Qiaoqiao inside the room, feeling a complex mix of emotions and a sense of unwillingness. But more than anything else, it was a feeling of helplessness. Her son, cold in nature, was taken by Old Grand Master Qin by his side when he was just five years old. Only after that did he return for school. However, during the summer and winter breaks, she rarely saw her son, who spent more time with Old Grand Master Qin. He had even spent a few years in the Special Preparation Team, and after coming out of it, he acquired good skills to protect himself, which she approved of, as her son was eventually to inherit the Qin family business. Despite the Qin family’s vast enterprises, almost all were controlled by the old master and his second son. Her own son excelled in his studies, attended the best university, and then went abroad for further education, a path she also favored. But unexpectedly, after completing his Ph.D., her son organized a medical team and always rushed to the most dangerous places. Later, he went to a research base to work on scientific research, which she really didn’t like. Old Grand Master Qin also was not in a hurry for him to take over and let him have his way. She was displeased. But she simply didn’t dare to confront the old master head-on. Her son showed her nothing more than the respect due to a mother and was not close to her. Before she could resolve the frustrations within her, her son went on to marry a village girl who had not even completed high school. Timid, weak, and someone who approached others in a cringing way, spending money recklessly to the point of contempt… This only added insult to injury for her bottled-up feelings. Not to mention the foolish accident on New Year’s Eve, which landed her in the hospital. Now, when she went out, people were still eagerly asking about the incident that day. So, she really disliked her. She even harbored hatred towards Gu Qiaoqiao. However, these past few days, the Gu Qiaoqiao she saw could not be ignored; patiently massaging Grandma Qin every day. Whether it was to curry favor or not, this persistence even made Qin Xuan feel ashamed when he saw his mother walking with a cane instead of relying on a wheelchair. As Grandma Qin’s son, he had not achieved this. He only thought that as long as Ah Ze was there, they wouldn’t need to bother. Just now, Grandma Qin had handed her Five Hundred Yuan, asking her to deliver it to Gu Qiaoqiao. She initially did not want to come, but after hearing what Grandma Qin said, though she didn’t want to admit it, she felt there was some truth to it. So she came, albeit reluctantly. In addition, these past few days, Gu Qiaoqiao had been well-behaved, a far cry from before, and she cooked delicious meals and kept the house tidy. Standing there, she even looked a bit like a daughter-in-law of the Qin family, which eased her resentment somewhat. But when she saw Gu Qiaoqiao, she still felt a blockage in her heart. Thus, her expression was rather indifferent. Gu Qiaoqiao didn’t mind at all. A smiling face would have been truly startling. Still managing the necessary politeness, Gu Qiaoqiao asked, “Is there something you need?” It was then that Shen Manru remembered her task. She seemed not to notice the money on the coffee table and instead handed Gu Qiaoqiao the envelope, saying faintly, “You’ll be working at the mall tomorrow, and you’ll need quite a few things for your trip to Border City. Buy everything you can in advance so you’re not at a loss when the time comes. I heard Ah Ze say that place is very remote.” Gu Qiaoqiao looked down at the envelope, her eyes flickering slightly, and handed the envelope back to Shen Manru, “You take it back. I don’t need it.” Shen Manru glanced at the money on the coffee table, her brows furrowed, “That money is Ah Ze’s salary, isn’t it?” “It should be,” Gu Qiaoqiao said noncommittally. Time was still too stretched out, and she did not remember every single detail clearly.
