Let’s Divorce As Agreed-Chapter 1100 - 1099: Revenge (1)
Chapter 1100: Chapter 1099: Revenge (1)
This time, Wang Dali was hit on the head by Xia Xiaoqiao, and the way he requested to handle it was not agreed upon by Xia Xiaoqiao, so he might secretly send someone to retaliate.
Gu Shaoting became more and more apprehensive the more he thought about it. He was still unsure if it was Wang Dali’s men, but the most important thing right now was to ensure Xia Xiaoqiao’s personal safety.
If anything unexpected happened to Xia Xiaoqiao, he definitely wouldn’t be able to live with his conscience.
Gu Shaoting reassured Xia Xiaoqiao, “Secretary Xia, don’t be afraid. You’re in a busy area, they wouldn’t dare to do anything even if they were following you. After all, we live in a society governed by law. Stay calm; if you’re already at home, then don’t go out. Just stay inside.”
Gu Shaoting furrowed his brows, thinking about the best course of action.
“Mr. Gu, will they retaliate against me? Kill me?” By now, Xia Xiaoqiao had been scared into paranoia, always thinking that others were out to frame her.
“No, they won’t do anything that could lead to a criminal sentence,” Gu Shaoting said reassuringly, although he actually didn’t know what these thugs might do. However, when comforting someone, it was definitely better to err on the side of optimism.
Clearly, his words had successfully comforted Xia Xiaoqiao because in her heart, Gu Shaoting was her hero, so whatever he said was right and he wouldn’t deceive her.
Xia Xiaoqiao steadied her emotions, then said, “Mr. Gu, I’m still very scared. Do you think they might still be outside the door? If so, I can’t go out, can I?”

It was only at this moment that Xia Xiaoqiao realized the extent of Wang Dali’s influence; she had underestimated it and had brought so much trouble upon herself.
If she had known it was going to be like this, she would have just given in to him from the start.
After thinking for a moment over the phone, Gu Shaoting then said, “I was just about to go out for dinner. I could drop by your place to see if there really is someone there.”
Gu Shaoting felt it was best to check on the situation in person. If they were indeed Wang Dali’s men, he could also communicate with them further to resolve the matter definitively.
He had now figured out Wang Dali’s intentions. Originally, his intentions towards Secretary Xia were inappropriate, but after being hit on the head and feeling aggrieved, he was not willing to let it go and now wanted to use this as leverage to negotiate.
From his demeanor that day, it seemed he was calculating this exact outcome.
“Really? That’s great, Mr. Gu.” Xia Xiaoqiao felt like she had taken a dose of reassurance. Thinking about Gu Shaoting coming over, she was sure the problem would be resolved.
Following Mr. Gu was indeed a wise decision.
“Mm, what’s your address? Send it to me, and I’ll head over now,” said Gu Shaoting as he reached for his car keys.
Lately, he had been driving himself since the driver had taken leave.
“Okay, I’ll send you the address now. If you don’t mind, Mr. Gu, I just made lunch. I went grocery shopping today and bought a lot of tasty ingredients, so you can have a simple meal,” Xia Xiaoqiao said somewhat shyly, feeling inexplicably nervous at the thought of being alone with Mr. Gu soon.
At this moment, she had forgotten her fear; she was only nervous, thinking about Gu Shaoting coming over and wondering if she should cook a couple more dishes.
“No need to be polite, I’ll just come over to take a look and then leave,” Gu Shaoting said before hanging up the phone.
He immediately called Shu Pan, but nobody answered. It was strange—wasn’t it past working hours?
He tried calling again, only to be disappointed once more.
Gu Shaoting thought for a moment, then decided to go check on her once he was done with his current tasks.
