Gu Jingze was flying like a god descending from heaven.

Lin Che was so excited that she almost wanted to run straight into his arms.

However, at that moment.

The man over there cocked his gun.

Lin Che was frightened and she quickly grabbed hold of Gu Jingze’s shoulder. “Gu Jingze, step aside…”

She pushed Gu Jingze to the ground, but a scream came from behind.

Lin Che was still dazed. When she lifted her head, she saw Mo Huiling holding onto her own shoulder as she sat in front of her. Fresh blood was pouring from her gray clothes.

Lin Che froze and quickly said, “Gu Jingze, this is bad. Mo Huiling has been shot.”

Behind them, the Gu family’s men already apprehended the group at top speed.

Meanwhile, Mo Huiling held her shoulder as she cried. Her face was pale and her voice was hoarse. “Am… Am I going to die? I’m going to die, right… Jingze, save me. Save me please…”

When that man opened fire, Lin Che immediately pushed Gu Jingze down. However, the bullet was already coming for them. Even if they were on the ground, the bullet would have still hit some part of the body. Luckily at this moment, Mo Huiling was already rushing forward. She blocked the shot and that was why Lin Che and Gu Jingze were completely unharmed.

Mo Huiling was quickly flown back to B City for treatment.

Gu Jingze stayed behind.

Lin Che was brought back to the hotel. When the crew heard that Lin Che was kidnapped, they were also very worried. However, they were also shut out from any news and did not know what was going on. Only now, they were allowed to see her.

The director looked at Lin Che and said, “I’m so glad that you’re okay. Your company is really good at sealing news. It’s a mess outside in the village. Word got out that a big star who came here was kidnapped and we were all scared out of our wits. Thank goodness you’re fine. But because your company was so good at sealing news, even reporters don’t know about this matter now.”

There was no way this was done by the company. It must have been done by Gu Jingze.

How could that little studio of hers and Yu Minmin’s be able to conceal this news?

The director said, “We have been so anxious the past few days. The crowd outside were really going wild. They have been waiting outside and seeing what’s going on. It makes me so mad that they are always making wild guesses. It really leaves me speechless.”

“It’s just a kidnapping incident… What wild guesses can they have?” Lin Che asked.

The director said, “Choosing to come here to film was already a huge thing for them here. You have no idea. No celebrity has ever stepped foot here in so many years. This time, it was a big celebrity like you. Plenty of people would have definitely been waiting to see you. Our crew also took extra measures but who would have thought that something like this would still happen in the end? We have to take responsibility for this incident.”

Lin Che thought that this was not the crew’s fault at all. It happened all because of Mo Huiling.

She couldn’t let the crew take the rap.

And because of her, the crew was worried for days.

“There’s no need to, Director. This is my own fault; I was too careless. It has nothing to do with the crew. Rest assured, Director. I’m all fine now and the kidnappers are merely normal people doing bad things. It’s no big deal.”

The director didn’t expect Lin Che to be so reasonable.

Usually, when something happened to an artist, they would make a lot of noise. This time, Lin Che even said that the crew did not have to take responsibility.

The director looked at her gratefully. “Lin Che… I don’t know what to say. Anyway, the crew will wait for you to come back and film. We will handle the people outside. When you get back, we’ll rent a separate house for you so that these people won’t know where you’re staying. If you see all these people surrounding you every day, you’ll also feel frustrated.”

“That’s too much trouble.”

“Not at all. It is our duty to do this, although they just want to see a big star. You’re too famous, after all. Heh heh.”

“Director!” Lin Che looked at him speechlessly.

After the crew checked in on her, Gu Jingze was also already done handling things. He rushed straight to her.

He switched hotels for Lin Che as there were too many people at this hotel. His men would not be able to move in and out.

Originally, he wanted to send Lin Che straight to B City. But seeing as Lin Che didn’t look too good, he decided to let her stay here.

Upon entering, he walked to Lin Che’s side.

“Have you eaten?”

Lin Che nodded and said, “I already ate. Oh right, how is it? Mo Huiling…”

Gu Jingze interrupted Lin Che’s question and said, “The kidnappers have been handed over to the police. The fellas who opened fire are also already apprehended.”

Lin Che said, “I believe that they only did it out of ignorance. They are not actually villainous. They took rather good care of us in the wild. Naturally, it’s not good that they’re also poaching, but those wives and kids in their homes are actually rather nice. It’s just that because they were born there, it’s nearly impossible for them to change their fate even if they wanted to. Sigh…”

“Don’t worry. I’ll get my men to bring them out. If possible, we’ll train them and see if they can go to work.”

Lin Che heard this and her eyes immediately widened. “Go to work?”

“They can come and learn some skills, but it will be impossible to enter the Gu household. We have very strict requirements and they won’t be able to pass. However, they probably can do some work outside.”

“Really? That’s great…” Lin Che said, “Gu Jingze, you’re the best!”

Gu Jingze said, “I got it.” He looked over at the dishes there and saw that Lin Che actually didn’t eat much. He knew that she was still shocked by her trauma. He picked up the dishes and said to the staff outside, “Is the service staff here?”

The service staff rushed over to them.

Gu Jingze said, “Help us heat these up.”

Lin Che immediately said speechlessly, “I… I already ate. You’re going to eat that yourself.”

“I’m going to watch you eat. You’re not allowed to leave if you don’t eat them all!”

“You… I’m not sick. Why are you forcing me?!”

Gu Jingze glared at her. The service staff later brought all the heated food back.

Gu Jingze stopped Lin Che from moving. He picked up the porridge. “Don’t move. I’ll feed you.”

Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. In the two days she had not seen him, he seemed skinnier now.

She felt her heart ache as she said to him, “Gu Jingze, you’re so nice. Tell me, did I do something so good in my past life to meet you now?”

“No.”

“Huh?”

“I must have done terrible things in my past life and that is why I met you.”

“Y-Y-You…”

“Otherwise, why wouldn’t I know what to do with you? It must be because I owe you. Alright, eat up!”

Didn’t know what to do with her?

Lin Che’s ears grew weak.

Gu Jingze only fed her mouthful by mouthful. He thought silently that he was not a good person. It was just that he couldn’t resist wanting to be good to her…

If it wasn’t because he owed her anything, what else could it be?

When they returned to B City together, Gu Jingze initially wanted to go back home. However, just as they got off the plane, he received a call from the Gu family.

They said that Mo Huiling caused a ruckus until it reached the Gu family. Now, the Mo family was making noise and demanding an answer from the Gu family.
