Urban Soldier Young Master

Chapter 916 - 915: Chu Shiyao's Guilt

After taking down two bodyguards, Chu Ge said nothing and walked straight towards Chu Shiyao. With a "bang," he slammed the door shut behind him.Once inside, Chu Shiyao was still a bit stunned. "You... why did you suddenly start fighting?"

Chu Ge glanced at Chu Shiyao with amusement and retorted, "Then how should I fight? Should I tell them first, 'I'm going to hit you now'?"

Chu Shiyao shook her head, "No, I didn't mean that."

"So you think I shouldn't have hit them?"

Chu Shiyao shook her head again, "Well... not that either. They said they wanted to search you, which is really infuriating."

"If it were just that, it wouldn't matter much. What's most infuriating is them lying through their teeth, claiming they're acting on orders. Your grandfather knows I'm your boyfriend, why would he let them search me? They're just picking a fight, so why should I indulge their bad habits?"

Chu Shiyao finally realized that Chu Ge was saying this deliberately. He wanted to use the eavesdropping device to let Chu Chengrui hear these words. She was about to call Chu Chengrui, but Chu Ge stopped her for the same reason.

If she had called Chu Chengrui, Chu Ge definitely wouldn't have been able to hit those two annoying people at the door. By doing this, he was indirectly helping her gain more freedom.

"Ha, my dear, what you said is absolutely right. Good job hitting them. They're just using a feather as a command arrow, using Chu... the old man's name to disgust you. Hmph, they seriously need a beating."

Chu Shiyao originally wanted to call Chu Chengrui by his name, but remembering her plan with Chu Ge to create an impression that she was somewhat influenced by Chu Ge and starting to accept Chu Chengrui, she cleverly referred to him as "the old man" instead of something colder.

In a few words, a girl in her twenties with a good figure and appearance walked out from inside. She clasped her hands together in front of her lower abdomen and slightly bowed to Chu Ge, "Hello, Mr. Chu."

Seeing this woman, Chu Ge felt speechless again. The arrangements Chu Chengrui made around Chu Shiyao were indeed meticulous...

Chu Ge looked at Chu Shiyao and asked knowingly, "Yaoyao, who is this?"

Chu Shiyao irritably rubbed her forehead, "Let her introduce herself."

The girl smiled sweetly and introduced herself, "Mr. Chu, my name is Xiaoru. I'm the lady's nanny, in charge of her daily life."

"Being a nanny is just a pretext, right? You're obviously another spy for Chu Chengrui, aren't you?"

Silently muttering to himself, Chu Ge still smiled and nodded on the surface, glancing at Chu Shiyao, "Your grandfather really takes good care of you. Your life as a young lady is quite comfortable, huh?"

Chu Shiyao gave Chu Ge a sidelong glance, as if to say, "Stop teasing me, I'm already annoyed to death, okay?"

"By the way, where's Wu Qing from yesterday?"

Chu Ge sat down on a chair by the small round table and took a drink from the fridge offered by Xiaoru, chatting casually while discreetly observing his surroundings to see if there were any hidden cameras in the room.

Chu Shiyao shrugged helplessly, "He's upstairs. It just so happened that a family upstairs was renting out a room, so that annoying guy moved in."

"Ha, when I came here, I was just thinking, if that guy lived in the same house with you, even if he slept on the balcony, I'd have to break his three legs!"

As they said this, somewhere upstairs, Wu Qing felt a chill down his spine, and his pants seemed to tighten, while Xiaoru's mouth twitched slightly, grateful she was a girl.

After a few more casual exchanges, confirming that there were no hidden cameras, Chu Ge smiled at Chu Shiyao, "Yaoyao, weren't you going out shopping? Shall we go now?"

"Sure, help me pick out some clothes. See which outfit you like for me to wear when we go out."

Chu Shiyao nodded and walked into the bedroom, opening the wardrobe. She gave Chu Ge a meaningful look and gestured to her ear, indicating he should help her check if there were any clothes without hidden listening devices.

The wardrobe was devoid of Chu Shiyao's old clothes, now filled mostly with items from various international brands. Chu Ge understood and casually checked a few pieces but found nothing amiss.

However, Chu Ge knew that just because he found no problems didn't mean there were none. Since Chu Chengrui wanted to monitor Chu Shiyao's every move, there were many places besides clothes where tricks could be played, like bags, shoes, and phones.

But he couldn't very well cut open Chu Shiyao's bags or shoes to see if there was any trickery inside, right?

Not to mention that doing so would definitely lead Chu Chengrui to discover their suspicions about him, just having that so-called nanny Xiao Ru by their side means they can't do it.

Feigning interest, Chu Ge picked out a white shirt, a knee-length, slim-fitting trench coat in a British khaki style, and a pair of vintage blue jeans, "Let's go with this outfit."

Chu Shiyao nodded and took out the trench coat.

Seeing Chu Shiyao getting ready to change clothes, Chu Ge made an excuse to go to the bathroom and left the room.

Watching Chu Ge leave the room, Chu Shiyao's heart warmed. She was originally going to change clothes in front of Chu Ge because since she and Chu Ge were in an intimate relationship, she couldn't show any shyness under Xiao Ru's watchful eyes, otherwise, they would be exposed.

Besides, Chu Ge was helping her out, so even changing clothes in front of him didn't weigh heavily on her mind. Nevertheless, Chu Ge found an excuse to go to the bathroom, which was a rare display of thoughtfulness.

After changing, Chu Shiyao slipped on a pair of black leather boots. Chu Ge came out of the bathroom and flattered her outfit complimentarily. The two then left the room.

At the entrance, besides the two bodyguards, there was also Wu Qing wearing a mask. Even though he covered his face, the swelling on one side of his face was still faintly visible.

This time, Wu Qing seemed to have learned his lesson; his first reaction upon seeing Chu Ge was to step back. Even when they took the elevator, he kept a two-step distance from Chu Ge.

Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao ignored him, went downstairs, and got into the Maserati. Chu Ge gestured to signal Chu Shiyao that speaking was still not convenient, so he took her to the mall.

The two wandered around like a close couple, casually shopping. Chu Shiyao changed all her clothes, from inside out, top to bottom, including her bag and shoes.

Upon leaving the mall, Chu Ge had already bought a pile of things for Chu Shiyao, who had changed out of her previous clothes, pants, bag, and shoes, along with some newly bought items, all handed to Wu Qing, who was following them.

Wu Qing appeared somewhat conflicted; he wouldn't have been able to suppress a laugh if it weren't for Chu Ge squeezing Chu Shiyao's hand slightly.

It seemed there was indeed some tampering with those previous items. Now, finally, those damned surveillance devices have been disposed of.

Chu Ge and Chu Shiyao returned to the car after leaving the mall. Chu Ge stretched lazily and turned to smile at Chu Shiyao, "Alright, now it's finally convenient to talk. Say whatever you want to say."

Upon hearing Chu Ge's words, Chu Shiyao first sighed in relief, leaned back against the car seat, then immediately straightened up, nervously saying, "Brother Chu, after you went home yesterday, sister-in-law she..."

Chu Ge's expression froze, and a trace of gloom appeared in his eyes, but he forced a smile and shook his head slightly, "It's okay, we're doing fine."

Chu Shiyao clearly didn't believe it, grabbing Chu Ge's arm more tightly, and asked with growing tension, "Brother Chu... don't lie to me, your sadness is almost written all over your face, what really happened between you two?"

Chu Ge was taken aback, had he acted so obviously? Even someone as innocent as Chu Shiyao could notice?

In fact, as the saying goes, concern obscures judgment. Qin Ruojing was such an important person to Chu Ge, and now such an unexpected situation had arisen. He was human, after all, he couldn't help but be affected.

Moreover, although Chu Ge knew in his heart that it wasn't Chu Shiyao's fault, how could there be no trace of care in his subconscious?

After a few seconds of pause, Chu Ge raised his hand to rub his forehead and sighed slightly, "The two of us have temporarily separated."

Feeling the loneliness in Chu Ge's eyes, Chu Shiyao's eyes widened, "What? No way! How could it be like this?"

"It's okay, it's only temporary." Chu Ge shrugged, trying to appear relaxed, "Alright, enough about me, let's talk about you. Any updates on your side since we parted yesterday afternoon?"

"How can it be nothing? It's all my fault, all my fault. If it weren't for my impulsive actions, it wouldn't be like this. Brother Chu, what's sister-in-law's phone number? I'll call her now, I'll explain to her. If she doesn't forgive you, I'll hate myself to death."

Chu Shiyao felt even more guilty, gripping Chu Ge's hand tightly, her expression full of remorse.

Seeing Chu Shiyao like this, Chu Ge finally felt some comfort. Now that they could finally communicate, the first thing she thought about wasn't herself but whether she had caused any trouble between him and Qin Ruojing. At least his efforts weren't in vain; it was a sort of consolation prize.

Chu Ge shook his head with a smile and said, "Yaoyao, you really don't need to blame yourself so much. I have already explained everything to her, and I trust she can make her own judgment. She said she wanted to temporarily separate from me, maybe there's another reason."

Chu Shiyao quickly asked, "Another reason? What reason?"

Chu Ge smirked bitterly, "I wish I knew as well."
