The guests passing by were all talking about it.
Shi Xiaonian was wearing a Gua Banquet dress, covering her mouth tightly with her hands, looking at Gwendelin's body on the ground in disbelief. The person who was fine before was now lying there like this.
On the ground next to Gwendolen's body is a long list of Mona's English names.
This name adds a strong sense of weirdness to the whole thing.
Shi Xiaonian looked at Gong Ou. She had been in the Lancaster family for so long, and it was the first time she saw such a look in Gong Ou's eyes, which was cold and dignified.
The night wind was extremely cold, and when it was so cold, Xiao Nian felt a chill in her heart, especially when the guests all looked at her in unison, their eyes seemed to be looking at a murderer, and at the same time they were like looking at a dead person.
"What are you looking at?"
Gong Ou suddenly raised his head and glared at them with a pair of black eyes.
Everyone calmed down their eyes, but someone approached Gong Ou and whispered kindly, "Mr. Gong, I think this is unusual. Mona's name is written on the ground. I'm afraid it's not a good thing. Why don't you let me Your wife should go back first."
"Do you really think I, Gong Ou, have a guilty conscience?"
Gong Ou glared over gloomily, stretched out his hand and grabbed the man's collar, clenching his teeth so tightly that the man changed his color in fear, "Mr. Gong, I mean well."
Shi Xiaonian wanted to pull Gong Ou, but he didn't.
Gong Ou turned around and scanned every face present with his eyes gloomily. When he saw two people with press credentials, he spoke coldly, "Listen to me, including the so-called ghosts. Lancaster Mona, it was I who didn’t want you in the first place, I looked down on you, and you had the guts to come after me!”
Now at the slightest sign of trouble, everyone immediately looks at Shi Xiaonian, which has already put her in the crosshairs.
After saying that, Gong Ou pushed away the person next to him, turned around, grabbed Shi Xiaonian's hand and left, leaving this land of right and wrong.
A group of people stood on the spot, surrounding a cold body, all staring at Gong Ou in stunned silence. The two reporters did not dare to take any photos, but quickly picked up their mobile phones and started recording the news to send back.
The road is winding and long, as if it has no end.
The black and white ribbons on the trees on both sides fluttered in the night wind, giving the entire anniversary festival an atmosphere that was not only sad, but also supernatural.
Shi Xiaonian crossed her arms and walked forward. All she could see was Gwendelin lying there, and her hands couldn't help but grasp her arms.
The next second, Gong Ou put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her into his arms.
Shi Xiaonian looked up at him, smiled a little, and said she was fine, "Secretary Guan found out something and died before he could tell us. Is the other party trying to scare us, saying that everything we do is in his eyes?" "
This other person refers to none other than George.
But she couldn't figure out how George dared to be so bold. Did the Gong family want to lose both sides at this time
"The old man is indeed demonstrating against us." Gong Ou's voice sounded in the night wind, looking particularly gloomy. "He noticed Gwendolin's movements."
"I wonder if brother is okay." Shi Xiaonian was a little worried.
Gong Ou glanced at her, and she could clearly see the annoyance locked in his eyes. Shi Xiaonian couldn't help but stop and comfort him, "Brother will adapt to the situation. He always pushes Secretary Guan to do everything." Before, I kept myself out of the matter, but I didn’t expect to be involved in the secretariat... "
Speaking of which, they were the ones who couldn't help Gwendolen.
"We have no time to sympathize with others." Gong Ou said.
They didn't even have enough time to investigate the origin of the rumor.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him silently.
Gong Ou and Gong Yu both thought about counterattacking in a trap, but they still didn't know what George wanted to do, so why did he do all these things that seemed to be aimed at her but could not hurt her
Is it just that she is unhappy and venting her anger for her daughter? But this is not like the pattern of a character like George.
Gong Ou stopped following Shi Xiaonian, looked down at her, and slowly opened his lips, "Shi Xiaonian, I want to tell you something, don't panic."
"What?"
Shi Xiaonian was at a loss.
"Li Qingyan was sent out by me to investigate the rumors, and it was she who contacted Gwendelin. Now that Gwendelin is dead, she..." Gong Ou did not finish the sentence completely.
Shi Xiaonian's face turned paler instantly and she stared at him blankly.
Soon, she turned around and ran forward desperately. While running, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Li Qingyan's number. No, it definitely wouldn't be.
She didn't want to see anyone die because of her, not ever again.
Li Qingyan's phone was turned off.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't walk for a while until Feng De called. When she and Gong Ou returned to the East District, they rushed into the room and saw Li Qingyan lying on the sofa with blood dripping from his body, dying and being held by Feng De. Doctor Dehe was treating her, his eyes looking forward with dull eyes.
"Qingyan!" Shi Xiaonian rushed towards her excitedly, "Don't be afraid, the doctors will definitely save you. Your husband is still waiting for you to go back. You hold on, you must hold on."
Gong Ou stood behind Shi Xiaonian and watched this scene, motionless, his black eyes deep in thought.
"Young Madam."
Seeing her, Li Qingyan tried his best to sit up, but couldn't. His blood-covered hand reached out to her with difficulty, took her hand, and said with difficulty, "I, as soon as Gwendelin and I met, , people wearing masks rushed out, they killed her in front of me, and they also wanted to kill me, so I ran away."
"Okay, okay, I know." Shi Xiaonian reached out to wipe the sweat from her head, "Stop talking and save some energy."
"No..." Li Qingyan closed his eyes with a pale face, holding her hand weakly, panting for a long time before saying, "Gwendelin kept talking about anniversary anniversary... anniversary... before she died, I think she must know something, but I don’t have a chance to say it anymore.”
Li Qingyan knew what Gong Ou and Shi Xiaonian needed most right now, and he tried his best to tell it.
"Okay, I understand. You can rest peacefully." Shi Xiaonian turned to look at Feng De and asked worriedly, "How is my adoptive father?"
"It seems that he was cut many times during the escape, but fortunately none of the wounds were fatal. Timely treatment can save a life." Feng De said while helping to stop the bleeding.
Hearing this, Shi Xiaonian, who was squatting beside the sofa, breathed a sigh of relief and almost collapsed on the ground.
It’s good if you can save your life, it’s good if you can save your life.
The doctors were busy treating him, and the blood on Li Qingyan's body was dripping from the sofa to the ground, which was shocking. Shi Xiaonian squatted there for a while, and suddenly realized that she hadn't heard Gong Ou's voice for a long time, and she couldn't help but turn around to look for it.
At the stairs, Gong Ou was sitting on the first step, with his slender legs spread out. His side face was illuminated by the light. His deep outlines outlined his handsomeness, but he had no expression at all.
Shi Xiaonian stood up from the ground and walked towards him. Standing in front of him, she saw Gong Ou lowering his head slightly. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow, making it impossible to see what was in his eyes. .
But this gesture reminded her of two words: frustration.
"Gong Ou..."
"Let's go back."
The two people spoke almost at the same time. Gong Ou raised his head and looked at her, his black eyes staring deeply at her.
This time, Shi Xiaonian saw fear written in the depths of his eyes. Gong Ou, who had always been fearless, became afraid and began to want to escape.
Shi Xiaonian's eyes were still red because of Li Qingyan. When she heard this, she tried to force out a comforting smile but couldn't. She could only nod her head obediently, "Okay, I will listen to you whatever you want to do."
"I don't have that much time to find out, let alone counterattack!" Gong Ou gritted his teeth and locked his eyes deeply on her face, "If George is really that crazy, why should I play with him!"
Then they started killing people, and they were playing so crazy under the eyes of the media. Who knows what George could do!
He couldn't afford to bet on her life.
Shi Xiaonian nodded, "Well, it's too late today. I'll find a way to inform my brother tomorrow, and then we'll go together."
"good!"
Gong Ou nodded vigorously, and after a moment, he nodded again. He didn't even realize that he was confused at the moment.
Shi Xiaonian looked at him. Gong Ou turned his head and looked at Li Qingyan who was in the emergency room. There was a mess over there. Shi Xiaonian's eyes dimmed. He was afraid that the person lying there would become her.
He is not a person who is afraid of trouble and admits defeat. He still chooses to surrender for her.
It didn't matter whether she went back or stayed here. She was also worried that more people would be trapped in this.
Shi Xiaonian sat down next to Gong Ou. Seeing that he was staring at Li Qingyan, she gently leaned over and rested her head on his shoulder, "Gong Ou, don't think too much, we will just do whatever we want when we get back." None of it will happen.”
Gong Ou sat there, letting her lean on him and remain motionless.
Shi Xiaonian couldn't guess what he was thinking.
…
That night, everyone in the East District had trouble sleeping.
Early in the morning, Shi Xiaonian and Luo Qi began to check their luggage. Gong Kui chatted with Li Qingyan after rescuing her, while Gong Yao poured a glass of milk for Gong Kui to drink, and stood on tiptoe to get a bottle to clean and prepare for taking care of her. My younger brother only gave up after being stopped by the nanny who was traveling with him.
"That's probably all."
Luo Qi said as he counted his luggage and tapped his shoulder tiredly.
Shi Xiaonian helped her sit down at the dining table nearby and said, "Tomorrow is the official anniversary ceremony. Today the Lancaster family will hold a small funeral for Gwendelin. I hope I can meet my brother there. I'll go Find him."
"Okay." Luo Qi nodded, "Be careful."
"It's safe in broad daylight. George won't attack me in public, don't worry." Shi Xiaonian said, and there was a steady and heavy sound of leather shoes stepping on the wooden board in his ears.
Step by step.
The sound was very uncomfortable to hear.
When Shi Xiaonian raised her eyes, she saw Gong Ou walking down the stairs, wearing a black coat. The solemn color made his whole face feel indescribable. (To be continued)
