As they got closer and closer to the tree, Jiang Kun became alert, like a swift cheetah, ready to attack at any time.

He flashed behind a big tree, but saw nothing. There was only the chirping of cicadas in the summer night, as if the noise was just caused by a gust of wind.

He turned around and looked at Shi Ye, "Mr. Shi, no one is here."

Shi Ye walked over and scanned the ground.

Jiang Kun guessed: "Maybe it was some small animal that made the sound?"

The Shi family's yard is very big, so it's not surprising to see some wild cats and gophers occasionally.

Shi Ye didn't think much about it, "Remember to bring that woman to see me tomorrow. We have guests at home tonight. I'll go over first."

After saying that, Shi Ye walked towards the main house.

He took a slow, deep breath, smoothing out the wrinkles between his brows as he exhaled.

Teacher Gu was timid and he was afraid that his serious expression would scare her.

After Shi Ye returned to the main house, he did not see Gu Jinlan, and Shi Xingran had already fallen asleep.

He asked the maid, "Where is Teacher Gu?"

The maid said, "Master, Teacher Gu just went to the backyard garden to look for you."

Shi Ye was puzzled. He had just returned from the backyard garden and did not meet Teacher Gu.

At this time, Butler Xue walked in and just heard Shi Ye looking for Gu Jinlan, "Master, Teacher Gu has gone back. She seemed to be in a hurry for something. She left in a hurry before I could arrange for someone to take her back."

Shi Ye narrowed his eyes, thinking back to the noise he had just heard by the pond, and his face turned a little colder.

Could it be... that the person who was hiding behind the tree and eavesdropping just now was Teacher Gu?

At this time, Gu Jinlan was sitting in the car returning to Ye's house, still in shock.

Tonight made her realize that she was still too young. Shi Ye gave her a few smiles, and she naively thought that he was really an easy person to talk to.

He is in charge of a huge family business at a young age and has connections in both the black and white worlds. How could such a person be a simple person?

Thinking of his cold face just now, Gu Jinlan couldn't help but shudder.

She shook her head quickly, calmed herself down, and analyzed and judged.

She was clearly at Shi's house tonight, but Shi Ye still ordered his men to bring her over tomorrow.

Does this mean that the "culprit" found by his men was not her?

Correct!

It must not be her!

Otherwise, Shi Ye could have dealt with her tonight, why wait until tomorrow?

Gu Jinlan breathed a sigh of relief.

I don’t know which unlucky guy was mistaken for her substitute.

If that unlucky guy explains everything to Shi Ye after seeing him, Shi Ye probably won't make things difficult for him, right?

After relaxing, Gu Jinlan felt exhausted. She returned to Ye's house, took a shower, and went to bed early.

She dreamed all night.

The dream was about that crazy night in the hotel.

After she walked into the wrong room and made Shi Ye sleep with her, she was lying on the bed resting contentedly when suddenly something cold pressed against her forehead.

When she opened her eyes, she found a gun pressed against her head and a pair of hawk-like eyes staring at her.

"Woman, you messed with the wrong person."

As soon as he finished speaking, Shi Ye pulled the trigger.

There was a loud "bang!"

Gu Jinlan felt his head exploded, hot blood splattered everywhere, dyeing the hotel's white sheets blood red.

The pain is beyond description, like being in purgatory.

She screamed and opened her eyes suddenly.

The dream was so real that when she saw the sunlight shining in through the window, she thought she had arrived in heaven.

It took a long time for Gu Jinlan to come back to his senses.

She rubbed her aching head and found that it was getting late, so she quickly washed up and rushed to the Aolinton Kindergarten.

On the way, she received a call from Director Zhang, who asked her anxiously, "Teacher Gu, where are you? The young master of the Shi family didn't see you and didn't want to get out of the car. No matter how much I coaxed him, it was useless."

"On the way, probably five minutes."

After hanging up the phone, Gu Jinlan urged the taxi driver to drive faster.

She had only been back in China for a few days and had not had time to buy herself a car for traveling.

The Ye family does have an extra car, but if she uses it, Ye Hongyu and the others will talk about it.

When they arrived at the kindergarten gate, Gu Jinlan got out of the car and saw Principal Zhang and several teachers surrounding the Shi family’s car, including Xu Hui.

She walked forward and Principal Zhang immediately asked the other teachers to make way.

Xu Hui on the side rolled her eyes at her and then reluctantly moved aside.

There were only Butler Xue and Shi Xingran in the car. Shi Ye did not come today.

When he saw Gu Jinlan, a smile immediately appeared on Shi Xingran’s cold little face.

Butler Xue was like seeing a savior, "Teacher Gu, you are finally here!"

Gu Jinlan stretched out his hand to Shi Xingran, "Ranran, get out of the car."

Shi Xingran immediately put her little hand into Gu Jinlan's palm and followed her out of the car obediently.

After sending Shi Xingran to the classroom, Gu Jinlan did not leave immediately, but observed Shi Xingran through the window at the back door of the classroom.

Director Zhang came to her side and sighed, "The young master's personality is too withdrawn at this time. Without you, we can't handle it at all."

"Teacher Gu, please spend more time with him recently and make sure he gets used to life in kindergarten."

Gu Jinlan nodded: "Don't worry, Director. I was the one who convinced him to come to Aolington. I will definitely be responsible for him to the end."

Principal Zhang asked curiously, "How did you communicate with Shi Xingran? He actually liked you so much and relied on you. Why don't you give a class to other teachers one day and share your experience and insights."

Gu Jinlan smiled, and her eyes became gentle as she looked at Shi Xingran. "It's nothing, actually. Maybe he and I have a connection."

When she first met Shi Xingran a few days ago, she liked him very much.

Maybe the little guy just likes her?

Or maybe it was because that day at the Shi family, when Miss Shen bullied him, she stood up to protect him and made him feel safe, so he trusted and liked her so much.

As a specially hired mental health teacher, Gu Jinlan's workload is not heavy.

There is one class every morning and afternoon, during which the teachers observe the children’s inner activities and emotions, and provide psychological counseling when problems are discovered.

After the afternoon class, she did not leave Aolinton, but waited in the office for Shi Xingran to finish school.

At this time, the teachers were all teaching and she was the only one in the office.

While everyone was away, she turned on her laptop and prepared to hack into the financial system of Ye's company to check its operating conditions in the past few years.

Just as it started, Xu Hui walked in, went straight to her desk, and looked at her with a smug look on her face.

"Teacher Gu, I'm sorry, I have to get there first."

Gu Jinlan didn't understand what Xu Hui meant and looked at her as if she was a fool.

"Teacher Xu forgot to take medicine again today?"
