Gū Yúshēng's fingers, sandwiched between his cigarette, trembled slightly without anyone noticing. He turned his head and gazed at the raindrops hitting the car window for a long time before lifting his hand to take a drag on his cigarette. After a while, a faint wisp of white smoke slowly escaped from his nostrils as he exhaled. Just as the smoke ring was about to dissipate, Gū Yúshēng picked up his phone and dialed Liáng Dòu Kěn's number, but it went straight to voicemail.

  Gu Yu Sheng's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and he casually tossed his phone aside, speaking in a light tone to the small Wang in front of him: "Go to Beijiao Jinyuan."

  What's the point of going to the suburbs on such a big rainy day? Little Wang was puzzled, but didn't dare ask, and just stared straight ahead at the driver who was focusing on driving.

  -

  Qin Zhi'ai had called ten cars in a row, and the fare had been increased several times, but due to the heavy rain, the order was cancelled by the other party.

  About three thousand meters away from the hot spring, there is a subway. Qin Zhi loves to watch the rain that shows no signs of stopping, and the sky is getting darker and darker. Her phone's battery is only one percent left, and if she stays here any longer, she might really get stuck here.

  After some thought, Qin Zhi Ai finally bought an umbrella from the front desk of the hot spring resort, put on sunglasses and a mask, and decided to take the subway back to the city.

  The wind was very strong, blowing the edges of the umbrella and occasionally flipping it up. The rain quickly soaked Qin Zhi'ai's clothes.

  The roads in the suburbs are not as flat as those in the city, and high heels are difficult to walk on. Qin Zhi Ai can only take off her shoes and walk barefoot.

  There was a road under construction on the way to the subway station, which was bumpy and had water accumulated everywhere. The stagnant water hid many sharp stones and pointed tile pieces, which scratched Qin Zhi'ai's feet painfully.

  By the time Qin Zhi'ai had made her way through this stretch of road under construction, her feet were covered in cuts and bruises. Every step she took sent a piercing pain through her heart.

  Qin Zhi Ai clenched her teeth and struggled to walk a little further, but eventually the pain became too much, and she leaned against a street lamp, stopping in her tracks.

  The rain was heavier and more urgent than when she had just left the club.

  The view in front of her was almost completely blocked by the rainwater. Qin Zhi Ai rested for a while before lowering her head to look at the ground beneath her feet.

  Several gashes were cut open, with blood oozing out.

  Due to the soaking rain, the pain grew more and more intense. Not to mention walking, just standing like this made her eyes sting with pain.

  Qin Zhi Ai took out her phone from her bag and tried to call a taxi again, only to find that it had run out of battery and automatically shut down.

  Actually, when she was hailing a taxi at that time, she could have called the old house.

  If Mr. Gu knew she was trapped in the suburbs by the heavy rain and couldn't return to the city, he would definitely take care of her.

  But she was afraid Mr. Gu would call Gu Yu Sheng and have him come pick her up.

  Gu Yu Sheng... He didn't like her disturbing him, so she made herself an outsider in his world, not doing anything that might disturb him.
