"She might, but Su Heng... Do you think he's that stupid? "

While speaking, Gong Yan pushed open the door of the study room and walked in. His long fingers loosened the tie on his neck and he sat down on a chair behind the desk.

He leaned back in his chair and tapped on the armrest with his fingers. "Su Heng only has a daughter like her. If she were to give it to me, it wouldn't be the style of an old fox like him."

Townsend watched him narrow his long, narrow eyes and wait for his next words.

Not long later, he heard his orders, "She won't appear at the nearest airport right now, then she might leave the city first and find a chance to leave through other locations. Send some people to each city's exit to guard there and notify me if there's any news."

"Yes." "Yes, Young Master," Tang Sen replied. He hesitated for a moment before asking another question. "Young Master Gong, Su Heng …"

"Since her daughter is willing to let him stay in Cloud City, she should be prepared to have his weak spot pinched …"

The light in the man's eyes dimmed. He didn't seem to know what he was going to end up with.

"After the previous purchase by the madame, he has less than three percent of his shares in the Palace, but if the madame were to call a meeting of the temporary board of directors, he would still have the right to vote."

Gong Yan's lips curved up in a cold smile, "Then we might as well get him out earlier. He's already at the age where he should retire."

Townsend nodded and agreed.

"..."

When Pei Luoyi woke up, the room was very dark. There was only a single lamp at the end of the bed emitting a faint yellow light.

Under the dim light, a figure appeared on the sofa.

The thin notebook rested on the man's lap. Occasionally, there would be the sound of a keyboard being tapped.

She sat up on the bed. The light was too dim for her to see clearly. "Gong Yan?"

The man raised his head and glanced in her direction before closing the notebook and putting it aside. Then, he walked towards her.

"You're awake?"

Pei Luoyi rubbed her sore spot and softly asked, "Why are you not turning on the lights?"

Gong Yan sat down on the edge of the bed and naturally pulled her hand away to take her place. "A headache?"

She closed her eyes and allowed the man to massage her forehead with moderate strength.

Finally, he opened his eyes and asked in a daze, "What time is it?"

"Around seven. You slept for three hours."

No wonder her head hurt so much. She had slept for such a long time.

After pressing for a while, Gong Yan let go of her hand.

"I asked Aunt Zhou to prepare dinner half an hour ago. It's about time now. Do you want to go down for dinner or take a bath first?"

Pei Luoyi came back to her senses and paused before replying, "I'll take a bath first."

She hadn't eaten since three o'clock, and she wasn't hungry yet, but she hadn't been feeling well since she woke up at the hospital.

Gong Yan nodded, and said gently, "I'll go get a bath."

After saying that, he stood up and turned on the light in his room, then entered the bathroom.

Not long after, he came out and returned to the bed, "There's a wound on your knee. You can't use the shower. I have a servant clean the bathtub every day. Can you take a bath there and pay attention to the wound?"

Pei Luoyi dumbly nodded her head once again. Clearly, she was absent-minded.

He sat down on the edge of the bed and lifted her chin with a hand, forcing her to look up at him.

Her eyes were dim, and one could even see how depressed she was.

"What's wrong with you? "Where's the discomfort?" he whispered.

Something was wrong from the moment he woke up. The light had been too dim just now, so he did not notice that her face had turned even paler than when he had returned from the hospital.

Pei Luoyi met his gaze and raised her hand to brush away his hand before turning away. "I'm fine. It's just that I had a long and scary dream just now."

"Dream?"

"Yes," Pei Luoyi said as she hugged her crossed legs and rested her chin on them. She recalled, "Nightmare, dream of me being driven by a car …" Oh, so many people came to my funeral, and so did you. Susie, you seem to be married. You're sad, but she's smiling. "

The truth of the long nightmare, the malevolent smile that had been circling in her mind.

Even when she closed her eyes, she could still recall how terrifyingly happy the woman was. In the gravestones filled graveyard, the gloomy sky, the pitter-patter of rain, and the woman dressed in black, wearing a tall hat and a cold smile.

It was a situation that made one's hair stand on end.

Of course, Gong Yan didn't think so. He didn't believe in ghosts and gods. To him, these strange dreams were nothing more than dreams.

It's just a dream. It's a dream, which means it's not real, and it doesn't have anything to do with reality. It's normal for you to be frightened. Don't think about it, huh? "Go take a bath, I'll get a servant to find clothes for you.

He stood up.

Pei Luoyi reached out and grabbed his sleeve, "Gong Yan."

The man turned around to look at her upturned face and stopped. He asked softly, "What's wrong?"

Pei Luoyi's face flashed with hesitation, but in the end, she still asked, "Su Zhi Zhi …" Did you find her? "

The expression on Gong Yan's face changed slightly as he replied in a low voice, "No, she ran away."

Seeing that the woman was stuttering, he added, "What do you want to say?"

Pei Luoyi loosened her grip on the corner of his robe and returned him to her knees, muttering, "Hm …" Didn't you say last time that I should think about how to deal with her? I've thought about it. "

She let out a light breath before continuing, "Although she did try to hit me, I just want her to pay the price. This matter... Can you follow the normal procedure? "

Gong Yan looked at the woman's resentful eyes, "You want the police to intervene?"

Pei Luoyi lightly nodded her head and said, "Yes, if she runs into people and escapes like this, I just want to use this method to deal with her."

Although she did not know what kind of decision he would make if she handed Susie over to this man, since he had given her the right to make the decision, she still hoped that the matter could be resolved in a normal way.

The man calmly looked at her, his deep gaze void of emotion.

After a while, he replied, "Alright, I'll contact the police after the person is back."

Then he went out the door.

Pei Luoyi lifted the quilt and sat by the bed for a while. After taking a look around, she immediately knew who this room belonged to. She could not help but feel a warm feeling in her heart.

Although she had already slept on this bed once, she understood what it meant.

The corners of his mouth curled up.

Just as she was about to get out of bed and go to the bathroom, she suddenly remembered something that she had missed.
