Became a vicious male mother

Anyone would suspect something was wrong with his guilty look.

Moreover, Zhang Jinhao had even worn one of the clothes in the suitcase.

Isn't this blatantly treating him like a fool?

Gu Xinglan didn't say anything, but took out a first-aid kit from the suitcase. "You don't need to pack this in. The snow is heavy, and you can't go alone. Besides, you have three suitcases. I'll help you."

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Jinhao's face froze completely, both psychologically and physically.

Two people pushed three boxes onto the vehicle.

Inside the car, the heater was getting warmer and warmer, but Zhang Jinhao hesitated to start the car, muttering to himself.

Gu Xinglan tapped the back of the front seat twice. "Uncle Zhang, is there something you're hiding from me?"

He clearly wanted to escape with his suitcase, but he insisted that he was sending a package to his wife and son back home.

He is now taking the initiative to give the other party a way out.

But the person in the driver's seat said, "No, no, don't overthink it."

Zhang Jinhao chuckled sheepishly, "I just want to send these things out as soon as possible."

Isn't a contradiction between words and actions a clear sign of lying?

He didn't press further, and could only say helplessly, "How's your injury? Let me apply some medicine for you."

The other party remained stubborn and insisted that they were not injured.

The snow fell heavier and heavier, and the wind grew stronger and stronger. When we arrived at the parcel storage area, we handed the box to the staff.

"Are the things in this box yours?" Gu Xinglan didn't know what to say to the other party, so she asked directly.

"No, no, it's my son's!"

Behind someone's back, Zhang Jinhao signed the express delivery number with trembling hands, on the verge of tears, watching helplessly as the three boxes were pulled inside.

“Uncle Zhang, those who are meant to escape can’t escape. Not only you, but I can’t escape either. I also risk going to jail.”

Upon hearing the words "go to jail," Zhang Jinhao shuddered and immediately looked around guiltily.

“I’ve already talked to President Li about the money. He told us to go all out. If you just pack up and leave, I won’t be able to explain it to President Li.”

Having said that, Zhang Jinhao could no longer hold back, his face flushed, and he pulled someone to a corner.

"You make it sound so easy! Do you even know what we're doing?! If the acquisition fails, we'll both go to jail! Two crimes, at least fifteen years in prison!"

Seeing Gu Xinglan's thoughtful expression, Zhang Jinhao pressed his advantage, "If we explain things to the Geng family now, we still have a way out. But if public opinion can't be turned around later and we completely offend the Geng family, we'll both be dead!"

"I'm giving you some good advice. Do you know who the Geng family is on good terms with? In this high society, everyone supports each other. Do you know how close this company is to the Yu Group? Do you know what the Yu Group is doing outside? They're involved in human trafficking and forcing laborers to work in illegal mines! How many people have died!"

Originally feeling listless, Gu Xinglan instantly became serious upon hearing this and grabbed someone by the collar.

"what did you just say?!"

"I...I..." Zhang Jinhao covered his mouth, his eyes darting around. "I said, if we don't side with the Geng family, we might be sold abroad as laborers..."

"Truth or lie?"

Gu Xinglan wanted to record a conversation on her phone, but after searching her pockets for a long time, she couldn't find anything.

"I heard it from rumors." Zhang Jinhao was being pulled so hard he could hardly breathe.

His mind was completely muddled; he had indeed been talking nonsense just now, and all he wanted was for this person to be on his side.

After spending the past few days together, this person was the only one who could turn things around, unlike the other two, who were the ones who would really kill him.

"Don't talk nonsense next time." Gu Xinglan loosened the other person's collar.

"No matter how much you try to persuade me, I won't change my mind. This is a one-time exception. I'll pretend I didn't hear you this time. Once I'm on the boat, there's no reason for me to jump overboard."

After the conversation ended, Zhang Jinhao failed to escape or persuade anyone to defect with him. The two drove back to the villa.

Zhang Jinhao sheepishly pushed his suitcase back upstairs.

Gu Xinglan, meanwhile, was patting her pockets while looking for her phone.

His phone... is gone again.

This is his third phone, and his third SIM card.

He didn't reissue the first one because he had no idea what the original owner's phone number was and had never seen it. As for the second and third ones, other people helped him with them, and those people didn't seem to care about reissuing them.

Two knocks.

Gu Xinglan lay on the floor looking at the gap in the sofa, feeling a little impatient. She got up and went to open the door.

A child stood outside the door, wrapped up tightly, with no skin visible except for his eyes, which looked cold and indifferent.

A familiar luxury car was parked at the gate of the courtyard.

The tall man leaning against the luxury car, with his arms crossed and his face hidden under a scarf, was none other than Li Taihe.

Soon, the people and the car were gone, and the tire tracks were covered by the flying snow.

He quickly pulled the child inside and slammed the door shut against the wind.

It seems that Li Taihe brought this person over.

This morning, Li Hetai said he wouldn't be coming back here for the next few days.

Gu Xinglan took a tissue and helped the other person wipe their eyes.

The person's right hand, which was holding the paper, looked as if it had been soaked in red dye, while their left hand was only slightly red.

The child reached into his pocket, grabbed his right hand, and placed the phone in his palm.

He left his phone in Li Taihe's car...

"Thank you." Gu Xinglan got tired of squatting, so she sat down on the floor. She tried to pull her hand back in mid-air, but Li Hetai grabbed it.

"Why did you become my guardian?"

The child's voice sounded as if it carried the biting cold wind from outside, making people's bodies stiff with cold.

The warmth from the underfloor heating kept rising from her tailbone to her brain, slowly pulling Gu Xinglan's consciousness away.

He tried to pull his hand back, but the other person held it tightly.

His right hand, which was originally bright red, turned dark purple from being clenched so tightly.

"Of course, it's to keep your father in check," Gu Xinglan said after a long pause.

If you grab my hand, and I say I'm tying up your father, that's perfectly reasonable. Are you suggesting he say it's because he's playing a role?

The electronic sounds that had been dormant in my mind kept ringing and playing for an increasingly longer duration.

He could clearly see the color of those eyes gradually dimming.

With a "whoosh," my right hand was suddenly released, and the phone flew out due to inertia, shattering the screen into pieces.
