Qin Sijue turned his gaze, focusing on his face.

Meeting his deep, ink-like eyes, Luo Chen hesitated briefly before continuing, “Gu Shijie came back from socializing last night, apparently somewhat intoxicated, and almost assaulted Miss Gu…”

Having reached this point, Luo Chen didn’t go on.

Qin Sijue’s face turned grave, his black eyes unfathomable.

The next second, the man stood up and walked toward the direction of the carved grand doors.

.

Upstairs, already awake, Gu Qiangwei was planning to go downstairs and leave the place.

As she approached the doorway, two figures appeared in front of her.

“Miss is awake.”

Looking at the middle-aged man and the female servant who seemed to be a maid before her, Gu Qiangwei paused slightly.

“Here are your clothes,” the butler said, turning around and pointing to the neatly folded clothes in the maid’s hands, addressing Gu Qiangwei.

Gu Qiangwei glanced over, “These are?”

“Prepared by the Young Master for you.”

The Young Master?

Could it be that person named Sijue?

She looked down at her own body, still clad in a set of men’s pajamas. Although the pant legs were rolled up, they still appeared very large and loose.

The nightgown she had worn out the previous day had also been torn by that bastard Gu Shijie, and indeed she needed a new set of clothes to leave the place.

Accepting the clothes, Gu Qiangwei politely thanked the butler, “Thank you.”

The butler smiled, “You’re welcome. Should you need anything else, just call me.”

Gu Qiangwei nodded, then took the clothes and returned to her room.

After changing her clothes and heading downstairs, the vast living room was the epitome of luxury, but Gu Qiangwei wasn’t in the mood to appreciate it.

“You’ve come down,” the butler said as she made her way down the staircase.

“That, I’m going to leave now.”

“Yes, a car has been prepared for you outside,” the butler replied.

Gu Qiangwei was startled again.

A car prepared for her?

She and that Sijue person were complete strangers. More than that, she had accidentally dashed into his changing room in the mall that day, remembering him as furious, and now he was unexpectedly assisting her and treating her so well?

“No need, I’ll just hail a taxi,” she said.

With that, she paid no more attention to the butler, glanced toward the door instead, and walked straight toward it.

The butler’s voice followed her from behind.

“I’m afraid you won’t be able to hail a taxi.”

Gu Qiangwei’s steps faltered, and she turned to look at the butler, her brows lightly furrowed, “Can’t hail one?”

The butler smiled, “Yes, we’re quite far from the city center, this is a private residence, and generally, no taxis come here.”

Gu Qiangwei was momentarily stunned, and seconds later, she arrived at the main entrance, indeed discovering the private residence was perched halfway up a hill. A sweeping gaze granted a bird’s eye view of the sea and the entirety of Jingcheng.

Just how wealthy was this man?

She had to leave this place, then go to the police station to file a report, determined to bring that scoundrel Gu Shijie to justice!

Having just turned down the butler’s kindness, Gu Qiangwei now felt somewhat embarrassed.

“Cough, that, thank you for the trouble.”

The butler smiled and said, “Just following Young Master’s orders.”

After speaking, the butler accompanied Gu Qiangwei out of Jueyuan.

Having given the driver the address, half an hour later, a black Bentley stopped in front of the police station.

“Thank you.”

After thanking the driver, the black Bentley quickly vanished among the endless flow of traffic.

Gu Qiangwei turned around and entered the police station.

“I want to report a crime!”

The police officer was somewhat taken aback by the imposing Gu Qiangwei.

“Miss Gu, correct? You’re saying your half-brother tried to… molest you?”
