Chapter 859: The Ruthless Woman

Mo Han didn't let Lin Jin Ran stop. She went up the stairs very quickly and disappeared without a trace.Fu Mo Han picked up the spoon and took a sip of the soup. His sword eyebrows furrowed, and he s...Fu Mo'han took out a piece of paper and threw it into his arms, saying in a cold voice, "This is her temporary address."

He reached out and took it. Gu Chen opened the paper, his dark eyes skimming over it briefly. His fingers clenched the paper, creasing it. He looked up at Fu Mo Han, "I'm leaving."

Fu Mo'han hummed in response, acknowledging the words without further attention to Er Gu Shen. He turned his head and ordered his subordinates, "Take these people to the police."

Watching the kidnapper being escorted away, Fu Mochen's expression was overcast. Who could have silently taken Lin Jinran away

——

Having obtained the address, Gu Chen no longer lingered. What happened next had nothing to do with him. The reason he made a move was solely because of the condition Fu Mo Han proposed: to tell him Hou Shao's temporary residence in Nanjiang.

Since the last time Hou Shao escaped, Gu Chen had almost turned Nanjiang upside down these past few days. There was not a single trace of Hou Shao's whereabouts, as if he had evaporated into thin air.

He believes that Hou Shao has not left and is still in Nanyang, only hiding deeper.

When he learned that Fu Mochen knew her whereabouts, Gu Shen immediately dispatched people to protect them. He also rushed over without stopping, just to find out Hou Shao's address.

Driving to the address on the note, it took less than thirty minutes. This was probably Gu Chen's nth time facing arrest.

Compared to his previous actions, this time he wasn't in a hurry. Upon arriving at his destination, he sat alone in the carriage, took out a cigarette and lighter, bit on the cigarette end, lit it, and took a long drag.

My thoughts involuntarily drifted back to the last time I saw Hou Shao. I heard from others that they had a child, but Hou Shao casually dismissed it and didn't even want to mention it when we met.

Hmm.

A woman with no feelings.

Once Gu Chen thought he knew Hou Shao very well, familiar enough to grasp the entirety of this woman.

But after all sorts of events, Gu Chen hesitated. He realized that he perhaps didn't truly know the real Hou Shao, or maybe he had never known a Hou Shao who completely belonged to him.

The woman who had always been circling in his heart, her shadow gradually blurred, and a brand new outline of the woman he had been chasing emerged.

The same woman, but the side of her he didn't know.

A burning sensation on his fingertips brought Gu Shen back to reality. He snuffed out the cigarette he had only taken a few puffs of, opened the car door, and strode towards Hou Shao's residence with long legs.

Standing at the door, I raised my hand to ring the doorbell.

"Ding dong, ding dong." Two chimes of the doorbell rang out, and a crisp voice answered from inside, "Just a moment."

The doorknob rattled, and the tightly closed door creaked open. Gu Chen had prepared himself well for a swift takedown of the guard.

As the door creaked open, a teenage girl with long hair tied in a ponytail stepped out. Her bright eyes looked at Gu Shen curiously, "Hello Is there something you need"

Gu Chen knew that Hou Shao had used makeup and other means to disguise himself before. Height and aura were difficult to conceal, but this girl was noticeably shorter than Hou Shao, clearly not him.

"Is Hou Shao here" He still hadn't relaxed his guard, staring intently at the girl and the possible anomalies in the room.

The girl blinked her big eyes and smiled sweetly, "You mean Miss Hou"

Gu Chen's breath tightened, and he unconsciously took a step forward, staring intently at the girl before him, urging, "Where is she"does well, I'll take Zhou Ling'er with me to work later. After a few years of hard work, we can open our own store and not be wage earners anymore.The two of them had a dream since childhood of openin...
