Although Uncle Yu did not finish his sentence, Gu Chenyi knew that with his mother’s body, she would not be able to withstand any turmoil. If she were to believe he had died, she would not be able to survive.

But…

“Why is Uncle Yu like this? Why… I just want to be with Xiao Huan. I just want to lead a normal life. I just…” Gu Chenyi hugged his head in pain.

Uncle Yu could not bear to see him like this. After a while, he said, “You can only tell your mother that you’re fine. You can video call her and let her see you with her own eyes to ensure that you’re fine. Don’t let her come over. Also, keep your mouth shut and don’t say anything related to what’s happening now.”

Gu Chenyi let go of his head first, then he said, “But if my mom learns I’m fine, my uncle will definitely suspect something. Once he suspects something, he’ll definitely investigate us. Then…”

“Your uncle already knows that you were the one who took Mu Huan away. His men have already traced us back to the ship we were on. Hence, you don’t have to be afraid of this,” Uncle Yu said.

“What?” Gu Chenyi was shocked. After a while, he said, “I… My uncle… didn’t think that Xiao Huan and I had been washed away by the mountain torrent?”

“No.”

Gu Chenyi: “…”

His uncle really couldn’t be more formidable.

In fact, Gu Chenyi knew deep down that things would not play out as well as he thought. This was because imagination was always beautiful, and reality was always cruel.

When he snapped back to his senses, he said worriedly, “Uncle has already found out that we were on a cruise ship. Will he follow the traces and find us?”

“As long as we don’t leave any traces, he won’t be able to find this place for a year and a half.”

Gu Chenyi heaved a sigh of relief.

“You know that your uncle is a very capable person, so you have to hurry up. Just find a way.” Although Uncle Yu had told Mu Huan something else, how could it be enough if she just pretended to give herself? Only by truly having her would GU Chenyi no longer have any regrets.

However, Gu Chenyi was hesitant. Uncle Yu could only help him if he became heartless. Otherwise, he would not be able to overcome the hurdle in his heart. When that time came, he might suffer even more and be unable to live.

“You don’t have to worry about your uncle. No matter how capable he is, I can protect you.” Although Bo Junyan was very capable, he was still young after all. The connections and strength Uncle Yu had accumulated in his lifetime were incomparable to that of Bo Junyan, who was only in his thirties.

Gu Chenyi knew what he meant and nodded.

“I’ll say the same thing again. We have to hurry up so that we don’t cause trouble,” Uncle Yu said again.

“Yes…”

“When your mother wakes up, I’ll arrange for a video call. Don’t worry too much.” Uncle Yu had arranged for someone to be by Gu Chenyi’s parents’ side.

“Thank you, Uncle Yu.” Gu Chenyi was touched by Uncle Yu again.

No one had ever understood and supported him like Uncle Yu did.

“Silly child.” Uncle Yu patted his shoulder and did not say anything else.

Gu Qianru woke up at night. Worried that her body would not be able to take it and she would faint again, the moment she woke up, the person Uncle Yu had arranged to be by Gu Qianru’s side asked her to video call Gu Chenyi.

Gu Chenyi was in a room surrounded by white walls. He would not expose his current location.

“Chenyi… Chenyi…” Gu Qianru initially thought that this stranger was lying to her. When she turned on the video and Gu Chenyi really appeared, she got up agitatedly and clutched her phone tightly.

“Mom, I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Gu Chenyi told her not to worry.
