    203. Lose

    Gu Pan had already reached the stairs when He Zhizhou, who had been catching up for a long time, grabbed his wrist.

    “What happened?” He Zhizhou’s palms were covered with sweat. His long hair, which was always meticulously taken care of, was casually scattered behind his head. A few strands even messily slipped in front of him. “Is there… can I help?”

    “Zhouzhou…” Of course Gu Pan knew how hurt it would be for He Zhizhou to leave first at this time. She felt guilty and sorry in her heart, but she had to do it.

    Because there is no time to delay any longer.

    “I’m sorry Zhouzhou… I, my mind is so confused right now. I understand what you mean today. Can you please let me calm down and think about it before I speak?”

    Under such circumstances, Gu Pan did not dare to make any hasty decisions.

    But to He Zhizhou’s ears, these words sounded like a temporary measure to leave.

    He took a deep breath to keep himself calm and be able to maintain his usual tone when talking to Gu Pan: “Pan Pan, can you tell me who called me just now?”

    Gu Pan fell silent because he couldn’t speak.

    No matter how he thought about it, Gu Pan really didn’t have the courage to tell the person involved about leaving He Zhizhou here alone and then looking for Xu Jingtang.

    “Zhouzhou…I, I really have something important…” Gu Pan felt the man’s hand holding her tighten more and more, “I promise you, I will contact you as soon as possible after I solve it, okay?”

    If she could figure out how to solve it…

    “I still have a lot to say to you, Panpan…” Unable to get an answer, the tear mole at the corner of He Zhizhou’s eyes seemed to have turned into unshed tears, and his tone was unprecedentedly low-key, “Just for today, is it okay not to leave?”

    Listening to He Zhizhou’s plaintive words, Gu Pan’s heart almost felt like a meat grinder.

    Who in the world can refuse such a request?

    Gu Pan even felt that as long as he opened his mouth, his throat would break away from the control of his brain and say the word ‘good’ to He Zhizhou.

    “Panpan…” He Zhizhou looked at Panpan who was hesitant, and hope surged in his heart again, “You haven’t seen my ring yet, right?”

    Who has seen He Zhizhou like this?

    It was as if he had sunk into the dust in front of Gu Pan, doing everything he could to get even the slightest response from the woman in front of him.

    From his tone to his eyes to his expression, it was impossible to recognize the man who had always had a plan in mind.

    Gu Pan even felt that even if someone held a knife across her neck at this time, she would not be able to reject He Zhizhou like this. But at this moment when heaven and man were fighting in her heart, her phone dinged – the message of Zhao Mengqi’s address came.

    Gu Pan glanced down and saw that Zhao Mengqi added at the end of the address, “You must come quickly. The aphrodisiac is very strong and will reach its peak effect in about half an hour!”‘

    “Zhouzhou…” Gu Pan didn’t know why. She was clearly hurting someone else, but she felt so uncomfortable that she felt like a dull knife was rubbing hard against her heart, which made her feel so painful that she could hardly breathe.

    The soft little hand in his hand was pulled out mercilessly when the man was stunned. Before He Zhizhou could barely react, he saw Gu Pan quickly descending the stairs like a little white rabbit jumping into the jungle.

    “I’m sorry!”

    The girl’s voice was still lingering in her ears, but her body seemed to be frozen in place, unable to move at all, while her eyes followed the snow-white figure that quickly left until it was blocked by other obstacles.

    He Zhizhou’s expression quickly turned cold.

    He stood there and took a deep breath for nearly thirty seconds before slowly walking to the dining table where he was just now.

    There was still lying on the floor beside the dining table the bouquet of roses that had just been flown in this morning. The bright red color had become a kind of irony at this moment.

    “It’s been a hard day, you guys should leave first.” He Zhizhou looked at the waiter and fiddler who were waiting for orders.

    The two of them immediately left the garden where the air pressure began to decrease rapidly as if they had been granted amnesty.

    Listening to the footsteps of the two people walking away, He Zhizhou pulled his tie down hard.

    He has always hated the feeling of being strangled by a tie.

    He Zhizhou took two more steps forward, preparing to pack up his things and leave. His shiny leather shoes kicked aside the obstructing bouquet without hesitation.

    The moment He Zhizhou bent down to get the car keys, he felt something hit him in his suit pocket.

    He’s mood instantly reached its peak.

    Taking out the flannel box from his pocket, He Zhizhou could no longer control the expression on his face. He’s eyes showed a violence that no one had ever seen before, and he threw the flannel box to the ground.

    The box landed accurately on the paved stone road and was thrown open with a miserable muffled sound. The ring inside was also ejected. After drawing a parabola in the air, it fell onto the lawn and disappeared without even making the slightest sound.

    Picking up the car keys, He Zhizhou went straight downstairs without any nostalgia for the venue that he had spent half a month carefully designing and decorating.

    The person in charge who was already waiting downstairs saw the real owner coming down and wanted to come up and ask about the situation. However, before he even got close, he was frightened back by the man who exuded a menacing aura.

    After He Zhizhou got into the car, he did not start the engine immediately, letting his whole body fall into deep and boundless darkness.

    Now when I think back to the previous confidence and leisure that I believed that the silly rabbit would never escape from the palm of his hand, it has become the most ridiculous irony.

    It was he who lost.

    This struggle started by he’s wishful thinking ended with his disastrous defeat.

    He Zhizhou took out a cigarette from the car and lit it. Looking at the sparks in the darkness, a sense of powerlessness swept through He’s body.

    Holding the cigarette between his slender fingers, the man’s narrow peach blossom eyes were like stagnant water.

    Along with a long breath, a large amount of smoke was also spit out from He Zhizhou’s mouth, filling He’s face with haze.

    After a long time, the phone he threw in the passenger seat suddenly rang. The lit screen automatically sensed the surrounding light and glowed dimly.

    He Zhizhou was not in the mood to answer the phone at all, and even hung up the phone. He felt discouraged. He wanted to just wait for the other party to hang up, but the other party persisted in calling one after another.

    Really upset by the noise, he picked up the phone with a ‘tsk’ sound and said impatiently without looking at who it was: “What’s the matter?”

    “It’s me, Boss He!” Zhang Mo felt a little aggrieved by He Zhizhou’s fierce look, “Didn’t you ask me to inquire about Lu Man…”

    “Say.”

    “The purchase of the aphrodisiac is true, but her plan seems to be different from what you said at the beginning…” Zhang Momao entered his nanny car and reported to He Zhizhou in a low voice what he had learned.

    After hanging up the phone, He Zhizhou squeezed the phone so hard that veins popped up on his arms.

    This bitch Lu Man dares to touch his people.
