h an IV drip, definitely damages the image of Donghuang.Only here, with me, can you find temporary shelter. It's the most suitable place for now.”Shen Xiujian's words today, added together, must be mo...In the house, it was very quiet. The two people sat on the sofa, and Jian Tong contacted the housekeeper.

At this time, the housemaid hadn't arrived yet. She and that man were sitting on the sofa waiting, the man sat silently, but he kept staring at her with his eyes... He had been staring at her for over half an hour.

But, no.

No, it just won't work.

Do not be soft-hearted.

As long as you don't look at his pleading eyes, a wolf travels thousands of miles to eat meat, and that's what someone like Shen Xiujin is.

No matter what he looks like now, those decades of coldness and cruelty have already been etched into her mind.

Facing the same face, Jian Tong believed he couldn't lose his memory and forget the past.

She had made up her mind to send him away. She just waited for Bai Yu to bring people over, lead him away, and then she wouldn't be so troubled.

There won't be any indescribable feelings in my heart anymore.

Time ticked by, she raised her wrist for the third time to glance at her watch. Beside her, those intense eyes nearly scorched her.

She could only turn her head away, allowing the man beside her to continue staring at her relentlessly with his eyes.

Before Bai Yu could arrive, a series of frantic phone rings shattered the eerie atmosphere in the house.

Jian Tong hurriedly reached out to take the phone on the tea table and quickly pressed the answer button.

"Are you here"

There was a hurried patter of footsteps on the other end of the phone, she seemed to even hear the sound of the airport announcements, uncertain if she had misheard.

There, accompanied by hurried footsteps, came Bai Yu's brisk voice:

I can't go.

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, her face paling. "What do you mean by 'can't come'"

"As for now, I'll leave it to you."

"He's just babbling away and about to hang up. Jian Tong suddenly called out, "Wait a minute!" She exclaimed urgently, "Why is he temporarily handing me over Isn't there Shen Er"

Shen Er is busy.

And what about Shen San

"No time."

"Then, Shen Si..."

"Shen Si, Shen Wu, and everyone else around Xiu... none of them are free."

This time, Jian Tong laughed softly: "What do you mean everyone around him is busy!"

Are you preparing to throw him under the bus

On the phone, Bai Yuxing only hesitated for three seconds before suddenly laughing coldly and asking Jian Tong:

"You wouldn't think getting shot in Assisi, Italy, was an accident, would you"

"What...does that mean"

Shen Er was taking people with him, not only them but also Xi Chen and me. Xi Chen stayed at the Shen family, while I went with Shen Er and the others. We are now heading to Rome, Italy.

Think about it, Asu is surrounded by people protecting him, why would he still get shot

You've grown up with Ah Xiu, haven't you In all these years, have you ever seen him hurt like this

Jian Tong fell silent. Though she didn't want to admit it, she agreed with Bai Yu's words deep down. She glanced at the man beside her. He still wouldn't give up, holding her gaze with unwavering eyes, as if saying: I won't leave.

"There's been a slight breakthrough regarding the Italian situation. Shen Er and I need to head there immediately."

If Axiu Shenzhi were awake, then I and Shen Er and the others wouldn't be so worried.

It's because Ah Xiu is currently mentally like an eight-year-old that the rest of us are so worried. Now that we have some leads, we must find the group that originally severely injured Ah Xiu. Otherwise, with the enemy unknown, it will always be a threat.

Jian Tong looked at the man beside her, her eyes flickering incessantly. Finally, she gritted her teeth and said:

"When are you returning home."

The other party hesitated for a moment: “This matter depends on the specific circumstances. We also hope to find those people as soon as possible and get rid of them, so as to eliminate future troubles and return home early. As for Ah Xiu, he can hide it for a while, but not forever.”

Both Old Master Shen and Lu Mingchu are not to be trifled with.

I guarantee you, if Xiu doesn't show up at the Shen residence within a month, Mr. Shen will start investigating his whereabouts.

Speaking, his words carrying a hint of difficulty, Bai Yu walked his lips and said stiffly: "Xi Chen can't pull out of this mission, while Shen Er and I have to go to Italy. This trip is unavoidable."

Among all the people around Asu, you are the only one I can truly trust.

Jian Tong, I know this request of mine might be unacceptable to you.

But I still hope that you can take good care of Ashu during this time.

He hesitated for a moment before adding in a low, hushed voice:

He was just an eight-year-old child at this moment.

Though it wasn't explicitly stated, Jian Tong understood the meaning behind Bai Yu's words — for now, you should forget about everything that happened between you and Shen Xiu Jin. How could you possibly hold a grudge against an eight-year-old child

Jian Tong's heart skipped a beat, and she silently hung up the phone.

She turned her head to look at the person beside her...forgetting for a moment

Why not just knock him out

If she could truly forget, it wouldn't be a bad thing for her. At least, she wouldn't have nightmares anymore.

She suddenly stood up, picked up her backpack from beside her, and looked ready to leave.

As he reached the threshold, a voice called out from behind him:

"Big sister, where are you going Do you hate Ashu Ashu doesn't want to leave."

Jian Tong didn't turn around, saying indifferently:

"I went to the supermarket."

"What are you going to the supermarket for"

Those behind him relentlessly questioned, like eager pupils in a classroom, constantly posing questions to the teacher.

Jian Tong turned the doorknob and stepped inside. Her gaze, faint but piercing, swept across the entrance hall and landed on that person’s face, etched with anxiety. She spoke without emotion:

"The dishes fell, do we not need to buy new ones"

You only have one set of clothes, don't you need to buy a few sets of pajamas

No one comes to the house usually, do you have to walk barefoot all the time

A beard has grown, no need to shave

Toothbrush, you still want to grab mine

What are there in these houses

She finished speaking, turned and walked out the door, shutting it firmly behind her.

Inside the house, a person's vacant eyes stared at the closed door, their gaze filled with astonishment.

He ran quickly toward it, flung open the door, and chased after him.

At the elevator entrance, Jian Tong was just about to step in when he heard a chaotic sound of footsteps behind him, "How did you get out"

"I'm going!" the person declared loudly, their eyes clear and sparkling.

Upon touching those crystal clear and pure eyes, Jian Tong's heart felt as if it had been struck by something. She gritted her teeth and glared at him: "No."

"I'm going!"ly, dares to disrespect me over the phone!"The steward on the side could only persuade, "Master, you should also ease your mind. As you said, these younger generations are ignorant of heaven and earth...
