After a secret marriage, I became the biological mother of a rich and cute baby

Zhao Jinchen quickly put down the wine glass in his hand, stood up excitedly and asked Butler Xue, "Is Zhang Qiang here?"

Butler Xue shook his head, "It's not Zhang Qiang. Several unidentified people appeared outside the manor, sneaking around and no one knows what they are doing."

Gu Jinlan was puzzled. "Could it be that he is Zhang Qiang's accomplice, who wants to scout the area and then rob the house?"

Yun Luoxi was shocked: "Burning and robbery?"

Shi Ye explained: "Zhang Qiang owes a lot of gambling debts. The reason why he chose to come in the middle of the night is that he wanted to take something valuable from here, so Lan Lan made such a guess."

Yun Luoxi frowned, "How could there be such a bad person? Lan Lan took in his wife and daughter, but he actually wanted to repay his kindness with hatred?"

Gu Jinlan said, "He doesn't even care about the life and death of his wife and daughter, so how can he be a moral person? But this is just my guess. I'll go outside and catch someone to ask and then I'll know."

After saying that, Gu Jinlan stood up.

Shi Ye quickly grabbed her hand and said, "Why do you need to go in person for this kind of thing? The bodyguards we have at home are not idle."

He looked at Butler Xue and signaled with his eyes.

Butler Xue immediately understood what he meant and turned around to make arrangements.

Zhao Jinchen picked up the wine glass, tilted his head back and drank it all in one gulp. When he put down the empty glass, he kept tapping the wall of the glass with his index finger.

Gu Jinlan looked away from his hand and looked at him, "Brother Zhao, don't worry."

Zhao Jinchen was stunned. If Gu Jinlan hadn't reminded him, he would not have realized how anxious he was at the moment.

Gu Jinlan added, "Even if you don't meet Zhang Qiang tonight, his wife and daughter are here, so they will eventually meet. Even if you meet Zhang Qiang, he may not be able to provide you with useful clues. You are wasting your time like this and you won't solve the problem."

Zhao Jinchen nodded slightly, a smile on his lips, "Lanlan, thank you."

Shi Ye had comforted Zhang Qiang in the same way on the day he went to see him, but he didn't feel anything special at the time.

But when these words came from Gu Jinlan's gentle voice, I felt a lot more at ease.

Is this the personal charm of a psychological counselor?

People can feel relaxed and comfortable in her presence.

Seeing that Zhao Jinchen was in much better condition, Zhao Jingchuan suggested: "Brother, I think you have been under a lot of pressure these years. Why don't you ask Lan Lan for psychological counseling."

Zhao Jinchen's eyes lit up and he asked Shi Ye: "Is it okay?"

Gu Jinlan said, "Of course, this is my business, I will make the decision myself, Brother Zhao doesn't need to ask him."

"..." Shi Ye's eyes dimmed slightly.

He wanted to say yes, but she didn't even give him that chance and had been trying to distance herself from him all night.

Soon, Steward Xue came back and said, "Master, those people ran away and were not caught."

Shi Ye was feeling annoyed, and his face darkened instantly, "They are all trash! They can't even catch a few people!"

Butler Xue lowered his head and dared not speak.

Gu Jinlan shook his head speechlessly. It seemed that the bodyguards hired by Shi Ye were really starving.

If I had let her go just now, no matter what monster it was, no one would have been able to escape!

Yun Luoxi worriedly asked, "Now that we've alerted the enemy, will Zhang Qiang not come?"

Gu Jinlan said: "Just now I was just guessing that they might be Zhang Qiang's accomplices. But now it seems that they are not in the same group with Zhang Qiang."

Yun Luoxi asked: "Why?"

Gu Jinlan analyzed, "The bodyguards employed by the Shi family have at least received formal and strict training. Zhang Qiang's low-class circle is full of bullies who take advantage of their power, not experts. The fact that he was able to escape from the bodyguards shows that he is also a trained professional."

Even the two people who went to Zhang Qiang to collect debts that day were not martial artists, so beating them was like beating up weak chickens.

Yun Luoxi frowned, confused by what she heard.

Zhao Jinchen agreed: "Lanlan's analysis is correct. He should not be Zhang Qiang's accomplice."

Yun Luoxi was puzzled: "If they are not Zhang Qiang's men, then who are they?"

The others suddenly looked at Shi Ye at the same time.

Gu Jinlan's eyes showed a trace of worry, and she said to Shi Ye, "Be careful when you go out recently."

If those people didn't come because of Zhang Qiang, then they could only be coming for Shi Ye.

Shi Ye was given a chronic poison a few years ago. Someone wanted to kill him. Now that he is still alive, his hidden enemy will naturally not give up.

As to whether this time it is an internal enemy or an external enemy, it is hard to say.

Last time at the Shi family's old house, after Shi Ye revealed their relationship, many people in the Shi family questioned her as the future hostess.

Even after bringing up her identity as Lan Xing, the Shi family members were not convinced.

Those who are unwilling to recognize her naturally do not approve of Shi Ye being in charge of the Time Group.

Now Shi Ye is facing internal and external troubles.

The Time Group is such a huge business empire, and there must be people eyeing the throne covetously.

Shi Ye smiled disapprovingly and said, "Don't worry, if they are coming for me, they won't be able to cause any trouble."

Ever since he was poisoned that year, he has become extra cautious, and anyone who gets close to him has been strictly investigated.

Now the only person around him whose identity is unknown is Gu Jinlan.

Thinking of this, Shi Ye looked at Gu Jinlan with a hint of thoughtfulness in his eyes.

He was certain that his wife must have some shocking secret that no one else knew.

It was really against his style to keep a mysterious person around.

But he trusted her.

--

At the same time, several people who escaped from the manor came to a car on the side of the road.

The car was parked in the shadows and I couldn't see inside.

It was not until the car window was rolled down that I could vaguely see a woman in the driver's seat.

The leading man bowed to the woman in the car and said, "Ms. Zhao, I'm sorry that we didn't complete what you asked us to do. We don't want to see the balance. We will only take the deposit you paid during the day."

Zhao Shiyun turned to look at the man standing outside the car, his face gloomy, "What do you mean by unfinished?"

The man said, "We observed outside the Tenth Master's house for a long time, but didn't find anything deliberate or anyone. Instead, we were discovered by the bodyguards in the manor. Fortunately, we ran fast, otherwise..."

"Useless!" Zhao Shiyun interrupted the man in a deep voice, "Keep squatting!"

The man said in embarrassment: "Sorry, Miss Zhao, we can't do this..."

They just do the job for money and don't want to risk their lives.

If it weren't for the large amount of money given by the daughter of the Zhao family, they would not dare to provoke the Tenth Master.

I really couldn't resist the temptation of money, so I gave it a try. It turned out that I really couldn't handle this order, so saving my life was more important.

Zhao Shiyun said angrily: "How can you have the nerve to work in this industry if you can't even handle such a small matter?"

The man said: "After all, the other party is the Tenth Master..."

Zhao Shiyun sneered, "You are afraid of the Tenth Master, but you are not afraid of my Zhao family? You took my money, but you didn't do my job properly. You just quit. Do you think I, Zhao Shiyun, am a vegetarian? You are in this business, so you should have heard of my third brother's name, right? He can make you disappear from this world. Do you believe it?"
