Gu Huaijin strode into the room, followed by Chen Chuan. He handed his coat to the maid and asked casually:

"Where's Madame?"

Mother Wang stepped forward and reported:

"Sir, my lady has been staying in her room since lunch and has not come out."

"Stay here all the time?" Gu Huaijin frowned, looking a little worried.

"Yes! The bodyguards have been guarding the yard the entire time, and the Madam has never left." Aunt Wang responded.

"Come on down, I'll go see her." Gu Huaijin went upstairs.

After opening the door, he saw a looming figure behind the curtains. Gu Huaijin took a few steps forward and asked with a smile:

"Wife, are you unhappy today? Why don't you go out for a walk?"

Seeing that Jin Mingzhu didn't answer, thinking that she was unhappy being locked up at home, he explained:

"Lu Huaiyang is leaving today. I really don't want you to have any contact with him anymore. You can go to work tomorrow, okay?"

"Let's go downstairs to eat first. I'll ask Aunt Wang to make you your favorite sweet and sour pork ribs." Gu Huaijin smiled and touched her shoulder through the curtains.

The moment he made contact, he immediately felt something was wrong. He opened the curtain and saw a human figure rolled up in a quilt. His smile froze on his face, replaced by a chill.

Looking around, there was no sign of Jin Mingzhu.

He raised his hand and knocked the quilt to the ground, his face gloomy and gloomy: "Tell Feng Zhen to get in here!"

Feng Zhen rushed over and saw the situation. He understood most of what was going on and immediately knelt on the ground:

"Boss Gu, I didn't think highly of the Madam."

Gu Huaijin's eyes suddenly turned cold, and Feng Zhen suddenly found it difficult to breathe.

"Feng Zhen, how many years have you been with me?"

Feng Zhen raised his head and looked at Gu Huaijin, saying seriously:

"Mr. Gu, it's been ten years."

"Ten years, ten years of training by the Gu family, have all been wasted? You can't even keep an eye on a person!" Gu Huaijin raised his hand and threw the boiling water on the table to the ground, splashing all over Feng Zhen, but he didn't move at all.

"Boss Gu, it's my fault for not supervising the child properly. I am willing to accept the punishment."

Gu Huaijin was furious. He took out a pistol, loaded it and put it to Feng Zhen's head.

"I will kill you today."

"Boss Gu!" Chen Chuan exclaimed and stepped forward to stop him:

"Now that the Madam has escaped, there is no point in pursuing her further. It is better to let him make up for his crime and track down the Madam."

Upon hearing this, Gu Huaijin spun the pistol in his hand, placed it on the table, and said in a deep voice:

"Hurry up and find it!"

"Yes!" Feng Zhen hurriedly ran outside and summoned shadows to search for Jin Mingzhu's whereabouts.

"Locate her phone." Gu Huaijin reminded coldly. Last time, under the pretext of changing Jin Mingzhu's phone, Gu Huaijin placed a locator on her phone.

After the technician operated, he shook his head and said, "Mr. Gu, Madam's cell phone is off. There is no signal to locate her."

Gu Huaijin kicked the coffee table, pouring out all his anger. The coffee table fell to the ground with a loud noise.

Jin Mingzhu stood in the cold wind for half an hour. Her body and face were cold. She just stood there and looked.

"Girl, what's wrong with you?" Seeing her standing there, a kind-hearted middle-aged woman came forward and asked.

"Did you run into any trouble? Even if you did, you shouldn't torture yourself like this. Look how cold you are."

Jin Mingzhu collected her scattered thoughts and responded calmly:

"Thank you, auntie, I'm fine."

The aunt led her to sit on a chair and said, "Girl, don't torture yourself. People always look forward, and everything will pass. Ah, don't be sad."

"It will all be fine, just look forward."

Jin Mingzhu said with tears in her eyes:

"I have no future."

"What nonsense are you talking about? You are so outstanding. Everything will be fine, girl."

"Will it really get better?" Jin Mingzhu asked in disbelief.

Seeing how distraught she looked, her aunt hugged her and comforted her.

"It's going to be alright, girl, just keep moving forward."

"Thank you, Auntie." In the most desperate moments, warmth from strangers always brings strength to people.

Jin Mingzhu stood up, said goodbye to her, and walked out of the airport lobby.

Jin Mingzhu wiped the tears from her face, stretched out her hand to stop a car, and said coldly:

"Gu's Hospital."

She stood at the door of the ward, and saw Xu Yang sleeping soundly through the glass, so she stopped knocking on the door.

"Hey, why don't you go in?" The prison guard who came back from fetching water asked when he saw her standing at the door.

Jin Mingzhu shook her head and motioned for him to speak more quietly.

"He fell asleep."

"How is he doing lately?" Jin Mingzhu asked nervously.

The prison guard looked at Jin Mingzhu and said, "Don't be nervous, he's fine, he's recovering better, and he'll be able to go back soon."

"Xu Yang must be very happy to know you are here."

"Come in and sit down."

Under the arrangement of the prison guard, Jin Mingzhu sat beside Xu Yang's bed. Looking at Xu Yang on the bed, Jin Mingzhu's nervous mood relaxed. This world is so bad, but fortunately, there is Xu Yang who is as warm as the sun.

She saw Xu Yang frowning slightly, thinking that the wound was still painful, Jin Mingzhu touched his forehead, trying to relieve his pain.

"Xu Yang, you have to be well and take care of yourself." Jin Mingzhu said softly, leaning down and placing a kiss between his brows.

"Don't tell him I was here." Jin Mingzhu whispered and quickly left the ward.

Xu Yang, who should have been asleep, silently shed two lines of tears the moment she turned around.

The neon lights were still flickering in the cold night. The bar was packed with bustling crowds. Young men and women kept shouting loudly, venting their inner enthusiasm.

The beer in the glass was bubbling with sadness, as if it was the last song of life. Jin Mingzhu raised the glass and drank it all in one gulp.

"Waiter, two more glasses of tequila." Jin Mingzhu waved her hand, and soon two cocktails were brought up.

Jin Mingzhu brought the wine glass to her lips, and the stimulating strong liquor poured into her throat. She choked and coughed a few times.

"Beauty, are you alone?" A middle-aged man next to her became interested when he saw Jin Mingzhu was alone.

Jin Mingzhu looked up at him, only to see that he had a beer belly, yellow teeth, and a greasy face. She didn't want to pay attention to him, so she turned her head to the side and refused silently.

"Hey, you're quite aloof. But it's okay, I like it!" The wretched man pretended not to understand and sat down beside her.

"Get lost!" Jin Mingzhu said calmly.

"Beauty, what did you say? I didn't hear you clearly. Say it again." The wretched man took the initiative to move forward and stretched out his hand to hold Jin Mingzhu's waist.

Jin Mingzhu couldn't stand it any longer, stepped back, and said angrily:

"I said, get out!"

The man stretched out his hand and said with a smile: "This girl is really exciting, let me have some fun with her."

With a "pop", the wine bottle broke on the wretched man's head. Jin Mingzhu slowly threw away the broken bottle and asked:

"Do you hear me now? I said, get out!"

"You little bitch!" The man covered his bleeding head and rushed towards Jin Mingzhu.

Jin Mingzhu raised her foot and kicked him hard in the vulnerable part. The man curled up on the ground and wailed continuously.

When people around saw this, they gathered around and the bar security also arrived quickly.

"This gentleman is harassing me, please ask him to go away!" Jin Mingzhu said slowly.

The security guard quickly took the person out. Jin Mingzhu sat back in the booth, but she was in no mood. She just crossed her legs and listened quietly to the singer's somewhat desolate voice.
