Villain: He intercepted the heroine at the beginning, and the protagonists collapsed

185: All we can do is wait“Notify me immediately if there’s any news.”

Chen Tianming said, his voice much gentler, “You’ve worked hard.”

Gao Zhiman’s lips curved into a faint smile.

She lightly punched Chen Tianming’s chest.

“Let’s not be so formal with each other.”

Turning to look at Qu Huaixuan, Gao Zhiman sighed, “Don’t worry too much. You can stay here for now. I’ll inform you as soon as I have any news. Please trust our efficiency.”

Qu Huaixuan didn’t understand most of the other words, but she vaguely felt that she and her daughter were safe now.

She was incredibly grateful to Gao Zhiman, “Thank you so much.”

“It’s nothing, it’s what I should do. Besides, even if I wasn’t doing it for you, I should do it for him.”

Gao Zhiman said, sweeping her gaze over Chen Tianming with a chuckle.

Her eyes held an unspoken ambiguity.

Qu Huaixuan didn’t know how to respond.

But Chen Tianming immediately pushed Gao Zhiman, “Alright, you haven’t finished what I asked you to do. Come find me when you’re done.”

Hearing Chen Tianming’s words, Gao Zhiman could only reluctantly agree.

“Alright, alright, I understand. I’ll go back now.”

At the same time, she secretly made a resolution.

No matter who was plotting against Qu Wan’er, she would catch him and bring him to justice.

If this matter wasn’t resolved, she wouldn’t be able to come to Chen Tianming for a reward.

Just thinking about it made Gao Zhiman’s heart itch.

Now the importance of this matter had unknowingly risen a level; it wasn’t just about Qu Wan’er anymore!

After Gao Zhiman left, Chen Tianming couldn’t help but comfort Qu Huaixuan.

“Don’t worry. As soon as this person shows up, I guarantee he’ll be controlled as quickly as possible. He absolutely won’t be able to harm Wan’er again.”

With Chen Tianming there, the worry in Qu Huaixuan’s heart finally settled.

She leaned gently on Chen Tianming’s shoulder.

Her voice was soft, “With you here, I feel at ease.”

These words were incredibly alluring to a man.

Chen Tianming immediately responded.

He directly kissed Qu Huaixuan’s lips.

A blush of shyness immediately bloomed on the woman’s fair face.

Even though she was already a little unsteady under Chen Tianming’s forceful advances, and her breathing had become rapid, she still didn’t want to push him away.

It was as if her whole being was melting under Chen Tianming’s kiss.

This was a feeling Qu Huaixuan had never experienced before, one that only manifested in front of Chen Tianming.

Suddenly, a little girl’s voice came from downstairs.

“Who are you? Are you looking for my daddy?”

It was Qu Wan’er.

Qu Huaixuan was startled and quickly pushed Chen Tianming away, her eyes unconsciously falling towards the doorway.

“Why is someone else here? Is it Officer Gao again?”

Chen Tianming shook his head.

Gao Zhiman would never dare to come back and disrupt his mood.

At this time, it should be Wan Yue.

Sure enough, when the two came out of the room, they saw Wan Yue sitting by the sofa, watching cartoons with Qu Wan’er.

Upon seeing them, Wan Yue’s face immediately showed a knowing smile.

“I didn’t interrupt you, did I? You can continue to ignore me.”

Qu Huaixuan was a little embarrassed by Wan Yue’s words.

A shy expression also appeared on her face.

“You’re back?”

Chen Tianming, however, maintained a calm demeanor and walked directly over to Wan Yue.

“Yes, I went to class.”

Wan Yue said, stretching lazily.

“I’ve been in class all day, and I’m really a bit tired now.”

Only after saying that did she realize.

“Oh, by the way, are you two planning to stay here today too?”

Wan Yue asked curiously.

Chen Tianming had brought back many women.

Wan Yue didn’t want to inquire about Chen Tianming’s relationship with them, or rather, she already knew deep down.

Who could refuse a man like Chen Tianming?

“They won’t be leaving today.”

Chen Tianming immediately called Wan Yue aside and told her what had just happened.

He even explained Guan Yue’s identity as a cultivator in detail.

Wan Yue had some perception in this area.

Perhaps she could even be of some help.

“Before, I did hear about this clan. It’s said that they are skilled in a method of alchemy that uses the bodies of those with complete yin and yang and the five elements as cauldrons. The elixirs they refine can greatly enhance one’s internal energy, allowing even ordinary people to gain absolute internal energy without a master.”

“The current clan leader seems to be named Guan Yue. Previously, the clan also sought a person from another cultivation clan, but because they wouldn’t part with their young daughter, that clan was annihilated by them.”

The more Chen Tianming listened, the graver his expression became.

The methods of these people were too despicable.

To destroy what they couldn’t obtain was truly not the act of a gentleman.

“What happened then?”

“Of course, he didn’t find her, otherwise he wouldn’t still be searching to this day.”

Wan Yue said, her gaze falling on Qu Wan’er, who was sitting on the sofa, staring at the television.

“This child is probably the cauldron who escaped death back then. After fleeing from her home, she was found by Qu Huaixuan, and has been with her ever since. This time, Guan Yue is clearly coming for her, so we must be extra vigilant.”

Wan Yue didn’t have many memories, but thankfully they proved useful.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianming was both startled and pleased.

He was startled that this child had such a background.

And he was naturally pleased by Qu Wan’er’s abilities.

“If what you just said is true, then this child should have extremely strong talent?”

Wan Yue nodded.

“Although she is still young and cannot cultivate internal energy, her other aspects are certainly not bad. With a little guidance, self-preservation shouldn’t be a problem.”

A huge weight was lifted from Chen Tianming’s heart.

“I’ll leave this matter to you, but don’t rush to teach her anything else. If you have time these days, please help me protect them. Qu Wan’er absolutely cannot be harmed.”

That Guan Yue was injured by him today.

Even if the other party didn’t come to him, he still wanted to meet him.

With extremely strong internal energy, plus the identity of a child of destiny, Guan Yue couldn’t possibly escape his grasp!

Over the next few days, the Qu mother and daughter settled into Chen Tianming’s villa.

Wan Yue took a few days off from school under the pretext of working.

On one hand, she could wholeheartedly take care of Qu Huaixuan and Qu Wan’er.

On the other hand, she genuinely disliked school.

She could fully grasp the content of textbooks in a few glances, and staying there was a complete waste of time.

Fortunately, the school teachers didn’t try to stop her.

After all, Su Meng taking time off wasn’t a one or two-time occurrence.

As long as she earned enough credits and didn’t fail her final exams, the teachers would turn a blind eye, pretending not to see anything.

However, after several days, everything remained calm, and nothing happened.

Chen Tianming even started to get a little impatient.

“By my count, it’s been seven days since the incident.”
