184: You're thinking wrong.
Ding Xiaoyu's hand gently stroked Guan Yue's chest.
A hint of heartache appeared in her eyes.
"You're injured now, you should go back first."
Ding Xiaoyu's voice was gentle, "I'll go with you."
Even though Guan Yue was stubborn, he knew his current situation; staying outside would most likely lead to death.
If he encountered that person again today, he definitely wouldn't be able to escape.
Even though he was extremely unwilling, he could only grit his teeth at this moment.
"Okay, let's go back."
A hint of joy finally appeared on Ding Xiaoyu's face.
At the same time, there was a trace of curiosity.
"You still haven't said who injured you like this."
Guan Yue shook his head.
"I saw that person for the first time too, but seeing him desperately protecting something, he's probably somewhat related to the lost cauldron."
Guan Yue didn't say anything more after that.
Instead, he immediately took Ding Xiaoyu and left.
All the remaining words were suppressed in his chest.
Ding Xiaoyu could only nod.
But in her heart, a strong curiosity arose towards Chen Tianming.
He was the first person who could injure Guan Yue.
But for now, ensuring Guan Yue's safety was the top priority.
After all, they still had a marriage contract.
Late at night, inside the Chen family's villa.
"Wow! Mom, can we really live here? The TV here is so big!"
Qu Wan'er, who had already woken up, found everything new and exciting.
Qu Huaixuan smiled, "Of course you can."
After receiving her mother's answer, the little one became even more excited.
She was jumping up and down in the villa, incredibly thrilled, as if she had completely forgotten about what happened earlier.
"Children are still easy to deal with."
Chen Tianming's voice was calm.
And Qu Huaixuan, at this moment, seemed to breathe a sigh of relief.
"Seeing her fine, I'm much more relieved. I thought what happened this afternoon would definitely bring her bad memories, but now it seems she doesn't care anymore."
"Don't worry."
Chen Tianming's hand gently rested on Qu Huaixuan's shoulder, "I'm here, I will never let you get hurt."
At this moment, he was so close that his exhaled breath brushed against Qu Huaixuan's ear.
A layer of rosy blush appeared beneath the woman's fair skin.
She instinctively wanted to pull away, but Chen Tianming grabbed her wrist.
"What are you afraid of?"
Qu Huaixuan stammered for a long time, not knowing how to respond.
"Mom, what's wrong with you? Why is your face red? Like a red apple."
Qu Wan'er noticed her mother's abnormality.
She immediately went to Qu Huaixuan, blinking her big eyes and asking.
Qu Huaixuan was also embarrassed to explain too much to her child.
She could only gently poke her forehead with her finger.
"Look at you, you little rascal, what's it to you?"
Qu Wan'er blinked her eyes, still not understanding.
Chen Tianming, standing beside them, burst into laughter.
And at this moment, the doorbell rang at the entrance.
"I'll get the door."
Qu Huaixuan quickly made an excuse and slipped away.
She hurried to the door.
Opening the door and seeing the person outside, Qu Huaixuan was truly startled.
Outside, Gao Zhiman was still wearing a police uniform.
But Qu Huaixuan was greatly frightened.
"Is something wrong?"
And when Gao Zhiman saw a strange woman opening the door for her, she was also a little surprised.
But she quickly saw Chen Tianming inside the house.
Her eyes immediately widened.
"Husband, I found what you wanted."
Hearing her call Chen Tianming so intimately, Qu Huaixuan immediately understood.
At this moment, there was no hint of jealousy in her heart.
Instead, she invited Gao Zhiman into the house.
"That fast?"
A smile also appeared on Chen Tianming's face.
"Of course, I spent a lot of time investigating for you."
Gao Zhiman said, then leaned against Chen Tianming.
"I rushed over as soon as I got off work."
Chen Tianming smiled and gently tapped Gao Zhiman's nose.
"I have a computer in my room, let's go take a look first."
Gao Zhiman immediately nodded and stepped upstairs.
Chen Tianming was about to go upstairs, but he caught sight of Qu Huaixuan standing still.
"You come up with us too."
Qu Huaixuan was a little surprised.
Then the blush on her face became even more obvious, as if she had guessed something?
"Is this appropriate..."
Chen Tianming's expression was serious, "What's inappropriate about it?"
Seeing her shy appearance, Chen Tianming seemed to realize something.
The mischievousness in his eyes became even more apparent at this moment.
"Wan'er just went through something like that, as her father, I have to seek justice for her. That's why I specifically asked Officer Gao to help check the surveillance. Don't you want to see it?"
Qu Huaixuan immediately realized that she had just misunderstood.
But Chen Tianming intentionally wanted to tease her.
"Looking at you just now, it seems you were thinking of something else. If you have such thoughts, that's fine too."
Seeing her shy and speechless look, Chen Tianming laughed out loud.
"Wan'er, you stay downstairs and watch TV. Daddy and Mommy have some things to deal with."
Qu Wan'er said okay, then turned her head back to the TV.
Her favorite cartoon was playing on it right now.
A few minutes later.
When Qu Huaixuan saw the unforgettable figure on the TV, her face was incredibly grim.
"It's him! He was the one who took Wan'er away at that time."
Qu Huaixuan was a little agitated.
Chen Tianming's expression was somewhat complex.
Why would a cultivator do such a thing to Qu Wan'er?
Could it be that he had gone mad?
Or was it related to the cauldron he lost.
Chen Tianming immediately asked Gao Zhiman to find out Guan Yue's whereabouts.
To his surprise, Gao Zhiman's face became exceptionally grave at this moment.
"This is exactly why I wanted to talk to you in person. After our investigation, we could only find the path Guan Yue took when he arrived, but we couldn't find where he escaped to after the incident. The city's surveillance simply didn't capture him."
"What did you say?"
Chen Tianming's brows furrowed.
Then a thought flashed through his mind.
Could it be that after Guan Yue was injured, he didn't return to the city, but went straight back to his clan?
This indeed seemed like something a cultivator would do.
He was severely injured now; if he continued to stay outside, he might clash with him again.
Quietly returning to recuperate and cultivate, and then finding an opportunity to return when his internal strength was strong, would be the best strategy.
But.
If this guy really escaped, then he wouldn't be able to find him.
Chen Tianming's face grew increasingly gloomy.
Even the words he spoke carried a hint of unwillingness.
"Yes, this person is under strict surveillance. As soon as his whereabouts are discovered in the city, send the information to me immediately."
Gao Zhiman immediately agreed.
"No problem, I will record this person's information. As long as the camera can capture it, his full face will definitely trigger an alert."
