Rebirth: She is Ready for a Counterattack!-Chapter 306 - 305: The Trap

In the next few days, Gu Xiaoqing lived almost according to Wei Ziyun’s schedule. At home, unless necessary, Gu Xiaoqing stayed in Wei Ziyun’s room, reading books and writing. Fortunately, the study in Wei Ziyun’s room had a rich collection of books, which greatly satisfied Gu Xiaoqing’s hobby.

The time previously allocated to the beauty salon was directly removed.

The consensus was that at the beauty salon, all makeup would be removed, stripping away disguises. Besides, the beauty salon is a place Wei Ziyun frequents, and the beautician is likely very aware of any changes to Wei Ziyun’s appearance.

To avoid exposure, Gu Xiaoqing canceled this plan but added a computer course, which she wanted to learn. She couldn’t just do nothing.

However, a week passed without any incidents, which left Gu Xiaoqing frustrated.

The swift resolution she desired wasn’t happening quickly.

It seemed that the other’s anticipated plan and their actions were clearly not in sync.

All that remains is to wait patiently.

Today, while Gu Xiaoqing was still in the room reading, she received a notification from Fang Shaohan.

Tonight, General Wei and Wei Hanjian would attend a government banquet, leaving only Wei Ziyun, the housekeeper, and of course, bodyguards at home.

This wasn’t explicitly stated, but Gu Xiaoqing instinctively felt it was an opportunity.

Of course, this opportunity was for those wanting to catch Wei Ziyun. For Gu Xiaoqing and the rest, it should be a turning point.

At five in the evening, after seeing off General Wei and Wei Hanjian, Gu Xiaoqing returned to her room.

Fang Shaohan had already arrived.

The bodyguards worked in twelve-hour shifts. Fang Shaohan rested during the day and came at this time.

Gu Xiaoqing changed into a new set of clothes, lightweight sportswear, and sneakers.

She would hardly believe it if she said she wasn’t nervous. Even if others didn’t say anything, she believed her heart rate was over 180.

This kind of situation made her adrenaline surge, leaving her in an excited yet uneasy state.

Fang Shaohan came directly to Gu Xiaoqing’s room, pushing the door open without knocking.

Gu Xiaoqing was sitting on the chair reading, her face seemingly calm.

However, only she knew her actual state, her eyes were fixated on the same page, without turning a single page.

"Don’t worry, we just think this is an opportunity. Draw the curtains and move a little in front of the window, just enough to show your silhouette." Fang Shaohan glanced at the bright sky outside.

Knowing that no one would be foolish enough to come at this time to catch someone.

Gu Xiaoqing nodded silently. It wasn’t that she didn’t want to speak, but she was too excited to speak.

She was afraid that opening her mouth would reveal her tension and anxiety.

This kind of tension was genuinely excruciating.

Gu Xiaoqing stood up, walked to the large balcony in the room, leaned against the glass railing, and gazed at the gradually setting sun and the crimson evening glow. The sky slowly grew dim and blurred, making Gu Xiaoqing’s features hard to discern in the twilight, leaving only a faint outline.

Fang Shaohan’s low voice carried a hint of reassurance from the other side of the window, "We’ve made arrangements. Two teams are ambushed around here. My colleague and I are here to protect you. Of course, you shouldn’t be afraid. These people have a **** background, but they aren’t strong enough to invade someone else’s home. Compared with the police, they are no match."

Fang Shaohan seemed to feel Gu Xiaoqing’s tension and fright.

Gu Xiaoqing watched as the night turned pitch-black, and the cold air became almost unbearably chilling, prompting her to return to the room and close the glass door.

Rubbing her stiffened arms, Gu Xiaoqing sat down, unnervingly silent.

Fang Shaohan observed Gu Xiaoqing, but it wasn’t the time to comfort her. The soft light cast gentle shadows on the window. Drawing the light-colored curtains, Gu Xiaoqing rose from behind the window, walked towards the bookshelf, pulled out another book without glancing at the title, and hugged it while returning to the sofa.

Curled up on the sofa, Gu Xiaoqing rubbed her fingers slightly, feeling the faint tremor, and bit down on her lower lip.

Even knowing she was surrounded by police, Gu Xiaoqing couldn’t stop her fear.

It’s psychological, not something words of comfort could resolve.

She’s not a police officer.

Facing such any crisis, she’d be anxious, nervous, and worried.

As the clock’s hands moved slowly, the atmosphere in the room seemed thick and stifling, unbearably oppressive. None spoke, making the air challenging to bear.

Gu Xiaoqing sat on the sofa, hugging her knees tightly, the book she had picked resting on her lap, open, but her gaze nowhere upon it.

Her ears focused intensely on the sounds in the hall below. She believed she could hear them.

Time seemed to halt, each minute turning into an ordeal.

It wasn’t until sounds from General Wei and Wei Hanjian’s orderlies downstairs emerged that Gu Xiaoqing snapped awake, turning to glance at the clock—it was already one in the morning.

Nothing happened that night.

Gu Xiaoqing’s heart suddenly dropped, looking back at Fang Shaohan.

Fang Shaohan rubbed his forehead apologetically, "The other side is very smart."

He regretted putting Gu Xiaoqing through such a tense night, but he was powerless to change things. Since being drawn into this, fear had become inevitable.

"If I were in their position, I wouldn’t do it either. At least, now it seems to be an obvious trap, and no smart person would fall for it." Feeling relieved, Gu Xiaoqing only longed to collapse on the sofa and sleep.

Fang Shaohan and the other person left; this was the right time for Gu Xiaoqing to be alone, as she was utterly exhausted.

They needed to communicate with General Wei; the surrounding teams could withdraw. Other than the monitoring team, everyone else pretty much wasted their night.

Gu Xiaoqing’s last memory was dropping onto the large bed into a deep sleep. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

Unaware when Fang Shaohan checked in twice.

Her dreams filled with thrilling pursuits and escapes.
