Su Heyi had been studying the route beside the bus stop for a long time. She vaguely remembered where Gu Mo's company was, but getting there by bus required a transfer, which was quite complicated for her. She didn't bring much money with her, and was feeling troubled when a black Bentley slowly pulled up beside her.
The car window rolled down, and Gu Mo's stern face appeared in Su Heyi's sight.
Su Heyi's eyes widened in pleasant surprise: "It's you!"
"Are you looking for me?" Gu Mo observed her carefully.
Su Heyi nodded with pursed lips: "Yes."
"What do you want with me?" Gu Mo asked with interest. In the eyes of others, he was ruthless and bloodthirsty, decisive in his killings, and definitely not a kind person. Many who had dealings with him were afraid of him, especially those who knew about his past, wanted to stay far away from him.
From being an illegitimate child in the Gu family to now eliminating all competitors and fully controlling the family with unparalleled power, the process was bloody and cruel. These past events were once the talk of the town in the upper class of Long City. However, as Gu Mo's position in Long City became stable, no one talked about his past anymore. When his name was mentioned, most people felt a sense of reverence, and many were afraid of him. There were very few people who could be as normal as Su Heyi in front of Gu Mo.
"I'm sorry... the earrings... they're not with me anymore." Su Heyi struggled with her words, trying to express herself clearly so that Gu Mo would understand, "I think you can say... the earrings are yours."
"Do you want me to testify for you? To get the earrings back?"
Su Heyi's eyes lit up, and she nodded vigorously.
"Alright." After saying this, Gu Mo's lips curled into a smile.
His smile made the bodyguards around him shudder, feeling that their boss's smile was really eerie.
However, Su Heyi didn't feel this way at all. She subconsciously approached Gu Mo and whispered, "Thank you!"
Her expression was focused, and her clear eyes reflected Gu Mo's somewhat ruthless face. This kind of pure gaze made Gu Mo unconsciously look at her for a while longer.
Su Heyi was really rare, a person who was not afraid of him at all.
This little fool did have some merits. Gu Mo harbored some thoughts of teasing her and said, "Then you take me back to your home, and I will help you get it back."
"Okay!" Su Heyi agreed cheerfully.
Gu Mo suddenly noticed a small wound on Su Heyi's ear, which had stopped bleeding but was very noticeable on her smooth and delicate skin.
Gu Mo's face darkened, and he beckoned someone over: "Go buy some wound dressing supplies."
"You get in first, you have a wound here." Gu Mo's fingers gently brushed past Su Heyi's earlobe, and the faint touch made Su Heyi stiffen.
Unable to refuse, Su Heyi got into the car. Gu Mo stared at the small wound on her ear, seemingly displeased.
Su Heyi keenly felt the change in his mood and asked him, "Are you unhappy? Why?"
Gu Mo said, "Do you often do this?"
"What?"
"Get hurt and not even know it?" Gu Mo didn't know what the strange anger in his chest was about, but thinking of Su Heyi in this situation, he very much wanted to take Su Heyi under his wing, protect her, and not let her be harmed in any way.
Su Heyi had already figured it out. It should have been when Su Youyou pushed and shoved her just now, accidentally scratching her.
"It's not often..." This kind of private matter indeed only happened occasionally.
Gu Mo stared at her for a long time until his subordinates brought back various medicines, and Gu Mo put away the cold expression on his face.
He said, "I'll apply the medicine for you."
"Oh, okay, thank you." Su Heyi was like a well-behaved pet, and she would not refuse whatever Gu Mo did.
This perception made Gu Mo very satisfied. He was naturally suspicious and never trusted people very much, but someone like Su Heyi made him feel at ease for no reason.
After carefully applying the medicine to Su Heyi and pasting a band-aid, Gu Mo instructed her, "Remember to change it yourself."
"Okay!"
"Alright, I'll take you back and get you... justice."
Su Heyi didn't understand why it was about getting justice, but she thought as long as Gu Mo could get the earrings back, she would be happy.
Gu Mo was still sitting in a wheelchair, and Su Heyi thought for a moment and asked, "Can I help?"
In fact, the wheelchair was automatic, and Gu Mo could freely control the direction, but since Su Heyi took the initiative to offer, he nodded: "Okay."
Su Heyi carefully pushed Gu Mo forward, and her breath while speaking sprayed on the back of Gu Mo's head, lingering in the surrounding air.
The bodyguards around them quietly moved further away, afraid that if they disturbed the boss and Miss Su's interaction, they would be in big trouble.
When Su Youyou heard the doorbell, she guessed it was Su Heyi. Thinking that she had been left outside for a while, she went to open the door.
However, when she opened the door, she not only saw Su Heyi but also Gu Mo next to her.
Although the man was sitting in a wheelchair, he was still tall with broad shoulders, and it was easy to see how strong his body was under his clothes, showing no signs of frailty. His face was unforgettable handsome, and although his gaze was cold as if he wanted to eat people, this kind of masculine charm still stunned Su Youyou.
She unconsciously blushed: "Uh... Hello?"
Su Youyou completely ignored Su Heyi, staring at Gu Mo with shyness and timidity, her heart pounding and feeling very nervous.
For some reason, Su Heyi felt a bit blocked in her heart. She pushed Gu Mo into the door and said, "You move aside first."
Gu Mo looked as if he was smiling but didn't express any opinion.
"Su Heyi, do you know this gentleman?" Su Youyou was a bit dissatisfied. Such a handsome and perfect man, why could Su Heyi know him?
Su Heyi no longer smiled and said seriously, "The earrings you took from me are his, you give the earrings back to him."
"What earrings? When did I take earrings from you?!" Su Youyou could not admit it, and she threatened, "If you talk nonsense again, I won't let you come back!"
Su Heyi was unwilling to back down: "His earrings, as long as you take them out, he will know!"
Feeling Su Heyi's anxiety, Gu Mo gently held Su Heyi's hand, patted it, and comforted, "Don't worry, I will get it back for you. What belongs to you, no one can take away."
Su Youyou was inexplicably nervous: "Don't believe her, she's talking nonsense. I didn't take her earrings."
Gu Mo glanced at Su Youyou, and the sharpness in his eyes made her unconsciously step back in fear.
"This afternoon, you posted a selfie on your Weibo. The earrings you were wearing in that photo are the ones I want to get back. If you don't admit it, I can show you the photo." Gu Mo spoke calmly, but his tone was filled with a chilling aura.
