"This guy followed us all the way," said Dong Zhe, holding a black camera in his hand, "and took quite a few photos."

  Gu Qingcheng smiled slightly and beckoned with her hand, "Bring it over and let me take a look."

  The journalist was trembling all over, he knew that being caught while tailing someone usually had serious consequences, and now his only hope was to find an opportunity to beg for mercy.

  Dong Zhe walked over and opened the camera for Gu Qingcheng to see.

  Gu Qingcheng looked at the photos one by one, and they were just a series of continuous shots of Bo Yu Xin. Although it was said that Bo Yu Xin had taken the initiative to climb onto his shoulders and tear open his shirt, the photo only showed the ambiguous posture of the two people.

  "Not bad."

  Gu Qingcheng weighed the camera in his hand, and a black shadow was cast on the wall.

  He suddenly raised his hand and slammed the camera against the wall with a loud crash, shattering it into pieces.

  The reporter was so scared that he forgot about his camera, covered in cold sweat, and knelt on the ground, "It wasn't me, it was Bao Yuxin who told me to come over and stake out! She bribed me to take pictures of you! Look, I still have her message on my phone, saying there's a scoop at Zijing Garden tonight!"

  "Nonsense!" Bo Yu Xin was also panicked. "What evidence do you have? General Gu, don't listen to this person's nonsense, I've never even seen him before!"

  Gu Qingcheng clapped his hands, "Dong Zhe."

  "In."

  "How much is the camera? Give him compensation."

  "Yes," Dong Zhe turned to this reporter, "come with me."

  The reporter stood up with a pounding heart, the photos could be forgotten, but the camera's money had to be retrieved. However, the man in front of him with a scar on his face looked terrifying no matter how he looked at him.

  Dong Zhe, as he was leaving, passed by a trash can in front of him and noticed the figure behind him. He intentionally slowed down his pace, turned around to look at Gu Qing Cheng, and realized that the boss had already figured it out. Then, he took a step back and left.

  After those two left, Bao Yuxin felt that the skirt on her body had been soaked with sweat, sticking to her skin and feeling very uncomfortable. However, she didn't dare move randomly. She had followed Gu Qingcheng for two months before and deeply understood the man's ruthless and cunning nature from the bone. No one could guess what he was thinking.

  Gu Qingcheng released his grip on Bao Yuxin's hand, and she stumbled backward two steps before steadying herself. She saw Gu Qingcheng calmly tucking in the hem of his shirt and casting her a glance.

  Bao Yu's heart skipped a beat as he said, "Director Gu, I... spare me this once! I absolutely won't dare again, considering our past relationship!"

  "Did we ever have feelings for each other before?"

  Gu Qingcheng's words were devoid of warmth, making the night wind feel three degrees cooler.

  Bao Yu's heart had already given up halfway, "No, no, let's just pretend I'm a stranger to you, General Gu!"

  She took a step forward to grab Gu Qingcheng's sleeve, and Gu Qingcheng coldly said: "Scram."

  Bao Yu Xin heard this and hastily turned around to run, running in a hurry, her high heels slipped and she fell to the ground, scraping her elbow.

  Never had she been so disheveled, Bao Yu's heart racing as she rushed out of the Zi Jing Garden and into a sedan chair not far away.

  The broker saw Bo Yu Xin's appearance and already knew the outcome.

  "Ruthless and heartless!"

  Bao Yu Xin said with a hateful tone, taking the tissues from the broker's hand to wipe the scraped elbow, hurting so much that she gasped for breath.

  "I told you not to set your mind on Gu Qingcheng, what happened today is just an adventure, what if Gu Qingcheng finds out about you, how will you deal with it?"

  "He won't find me," Bo Yu Xin tossed the blood-stained tissue to one side, muttering a curse under her breath. "He'll only find that stupid Yang Su Su."

  …………

  After Bao Yu Xin left, Zi Jing Garden returned to its tranquility.

  Gu Qingcheng turned around and leaned against the wall, his fingers flickering as he lit a cigarette. His gaze fell on a trash can to his right.

  Dark shadows loomed, nothing stirred, only the four seasons greenery behind rustled twice, then returned to calmness, as if a wild cat had passed by, yet seemed to be nothing at all.

  Gu Qingcheng was also very patient, finishing a cigarette and walking to the trash can, throwing the butt away, playing with the metal lighter between his fingers, kicking the trash can with his foot, the sole of his shoe making a dull thud as it came into contact with the can.

  "Aren't you ready yet?"

  The greenery rustled again and a figure emerged from behind it.
