Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 247 May I Be There in Your Dreams

"Uh, okay."

"Then be careful on your way back."

Wu Zhao did not reject his touch, but moved her fingers somewhat awkwardly.

"Uncle, be careful on your way home!"

After Huo Weiwei helped Professor He onto the bus, she opened the window and shouted loudly.

Gu Chen's forehead twitched, but he ignored her.

"Master, the carriage has arrived."

Qingyao walked over.

After the road opened, he immediately contacted the local branch office, and someone came to pick up Gu Chen very quickly.

After watching the two buses disappear from sight, Gu Chen turned his head away with an indifferent expression.

"Okay, you go ahead. I'll be right there."

Qingyao was somewhat puzzled, but still left first.

Once Gu Chen was the only one left, he took two steps toward the small courtyard.

Those dark eyes gradually turned gold.

"Although a long time has passed, but..."

"I will never forget everything you have done."

"It's not too late to pay the price now."

Golden flames spread across the courtyard like streaks of light, then rapidly expanded in all directions.

Upon contact with this golden light, everything began to gradually vanish.

Until it completely disappeared, leaving only emptiness on the ground.

Gu Chen closed his eyes.

Then turned around.

……

"Ok?"

As if sensing something, Wu Zhao on the bus looked up at the back of the bus.

"What's wrong with our ancestor?"

Wu Xingyun asked.

He was shameless and insisted on being in the same car as Wu Zhao, but fortunately, no one else kicked him out.

So he followed Wu Zhao and ended up in the car.

"It's nothing, I just felt like I sensed the presence of some... familiar people."

It was Junwu's aura, though very faint and fleeting.

But Wu Zhao felt a sense of déjà vu, as if he had just met her not long ago.

Suddenly, some strange and chaotic images flashed before her eyes, so fast that she couldn't quite make them out.

"It's okay, maybe I'm just imagining things."

She shook her head as she spoke.

Wu Xingyun smiled and waved the cards in his hand.

"When it's the time for the ancestor to play his card, I guarantee I'll win this round."

Not long after he got on the bus, he pulled out a deck of cards from somewhere and said he was bored and wanted to find something to do.

Wu Zhao, who had never played before, was pulled in by Huo Weiwei just to participate, and Zhao Lan also joined in the fun.

Because Yu Ying still had to take care of Wu Xingzhou, she pushed He Wen over to play together.

As for Professor Wu and Professor He, they had already been preparing to watch the battle from the sidelines.

...Although Professor Wu was carsick and had to lie down, he said he could still listen with his ears.

Wu Zhao found it somewhat novel, so he sat down to participate.

If I hadn't suddenly sensed Junwu's presence halfway through the match, this game would have been over already.

"Okay, go ahead and pay."

Wu Zhao was somewhat helpless, but still cooperated and let Wu Xingyun play his card.

Huo Weiwei pouted and rolled her eyes at Wu Xingyun.

"What's so great about you? You can only bully newbies who don't know how to play."

Wu Xingyun didn't mind at all, and ruthlessly finished playing all the cards in his hand.

"Hehe, anyway, I won!"

The group of people were laughing and joking together, while Professor Wu, lying on the bed, closed his eyes but smiled without saying a word.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly on their return journey. The drivers took turns driving and they quickly returned to the capital by the evening of the following day.

Upon seeing the police vehicles and officers waiting at the highway exit, Wu Zhao's eyebrows twitched.

"Are you here to pick up the children?"

Huo Weiwei naturally saw the police cars as well. She looked around for a moment and then spotted her own car not far behind the police cars.

"My uncle is here too! They're so fast!"

Wu Zhao didn't want to interact with the people from the garrison, so she nudged Wu Xingyun.

"I'll leave after I park the car. If the police need to issue any statement, remember not to mention your name or mine."

After exchanging a few brief words with Wu Xingyun, Wu Zhao's figure vanished in the blink of an eye as soon as the car came to a stop.

Wu Xingyun only realized what was happening after Wu Zhao left.

"Don't mention our ancestors later, remember that."

He quickly reminded Huo Weiwei and mentioned it to the others as well.

Huo Weiwei noticed that Gu Jiaxi was among the people from the security detail.

"Why is it him again..."

This old-fashioned relative.

"So it's Gu Jiaxi, tsk."

Thinking back to the days when the Wu family was sealed off, it was this person who fawned over his sister, and Wu Xingyun felt uneasy.

"How could it be this guy..."

"I'm annoyed by seeing him."

He muttered something under his breath, which made Huo Weiwei, who was about to get off the car, light up.

Having found a kindred spirit, Huo Weiwei couldn't help but vent to him.

"You also think he..."

Before he could finish speaking, Gu Jiaxi walked over.

"Weiwei, and Mr. Wu, it's so good that you're all alright."

“Your family has been very worried while you were missing these past few days.”

The police officers behind him had already gone to the car behind to pick up Tao Yueran and her group.

Soon, a group of people, their eyes blurry with tears, looking haggard yet ecstatic, surged out from behind.

"They are the children's families..."

Seeing them crying and holding the child tightly, Huo Weiwei couldn't help but feel her eyes redden.

"Leave this place to us, you guys go home quickly. Your families have already been notified, so go back and let them know you're safe."

Gu Jiaxi observed Huo Weiwei and was relieved to see that she had no injuries.

Huo Weiwei pouted.

"My uncle is here to pick me up, I'm leaving now."

Wu Xingyun waved and left, not giving Gu Jiaxi a chance to speak again.

TV reporters arrived quickly, and the highway exit was gradually swallowed up by the crowd.

A black sedan drove away without attracting any attention.

In the car, Wu Zhao was drinking the juice that Gu Chen had prepared.

"I'm so tired, I need to get some rest when I get back."

An inexplicable fatigue made Wu Zhao close his eyes and feel sleepy.

Could it be that my strength has weakened because I've been away from Gu Chen for too long?

As Wu Zhao thought about it, she couldn't help but move closer to Gu Chen.

Noticing her movement, Gu Chen's lips curled into a slight smile.

"Then go back and rest first, don't worry about anything else."

Knowing what Wu Zhao was thinking, he patted Wu Zhao's hair reassuringly.

"The situation of the Yan family has been thoroughly investigated."

"If you really want to raise that child, you can do it now."

The Yan family doesn't value this child very much, so if someone intervenes, Yan Xuzhe probably won't refuse.

"Well…"

Wu Zhao gave a mumbled reply, then leaned her head against Gu Chen's shoulder, unable to support herself any longer.

The familiar taste and aura washed over him, making Wu Zhao feel somewhat listless.

It's true that it's hard to go from extravagance to frugality...

Wu Zhao couldn't help but feel disgusted with himself for basking in so much good fortune by following Gu Chen around.

Leaving for these past few days feels like going back to the beginning when I had nothing.

She fell asleep quickly.

Hearing her steady breathing, a hint of tenderness appeared in Gu Chen's eyes.

"Sweet dreams, Zhao Zhao."
