My online dating circle has millions of followers, why would she put a collar on me?

Gu Qinghan already disliked and even loathed Jiang Yi.

Upon hearing that she was going to meet Jiang Yi's parents, Gu Qinghan got out of the car and parted ways with the two of them.

To ensure Su Xiaoyue's safety.

She then found a coffee shop across from the restaurant, where she drank coffee and observed the situation.

Halfway through her drink, she suddenly froze.

Just because of that figure entering the restaurant.

How come it looks so much like it?

Summer sleep?

Gu Qinghan's fingers unconsciously scratched the side of the cup, the nails making a faint, almost inaudible sound as they grazed the ceramic surface.

Her mind was racing, but the faster it raced, the more chaotic it felt.

Isn't Anmian in Shanghai?

When did she get back? How did she find this place?

A barrage of questions exploded in her mind, each one like a pebble thrown into the already murky lake of her heart. She leaned back in her chair, her gaze still fixed on the entrance of the restaurant across the street, the lines between her brows furrowing deeper and deeper.

Anmian's return must be for Jiang Yi.

This judgment is almost instinctive.

Gu Qinghan knew Xia Anmian all too well.

She's not the kind of person who easily turns back. Once she decides where to go, who to see, or what to do, it's always after careful consideration.

So, she came back to find Jiang Yi.

She must know something!

Gu Qinghan didn't want to think in that direction, but the thought was like a fishbone stuck in her throat, impossible to swallow or spit out.

She remembered what that idiot Zhao Jianmin had done, the confession, and the bruises on Jiang Yi's face that hadn't faded yet.

She didn't know how much Xia Anmian knew.

Perhaps she knows everything, or perhaps she only knows a part of it, but in any case, if Xia Anmian knew that Jiang Yi had been treated like that by Zhao Jianmin, given her personality, she would definitely not let it go.

wrong.

Gu Qinghan suddenly realized an even more troublesome problem.

What if Xia Anmian knew that Jiang Yi was arrested, tortured, and forced to sign a confession because Zhao Jianmin was trying to guess her intentions and curry favor with her?

Gu Qinghan's back suddenly tensed up, as if a section of her spine had been ripped out from the middle, and her whole body slumped down by half an inch.

She closed her eyes and exhaled heavily.

She must keep this a secret; she must never tell, even if it means death.

She wasn't afraid of Zhao Jianmin getting into trouble; she wouldn't even flinch if that idiot died a thousand times over.

What she feared was Xia Anmian's attitude after learning the truth.

If Xia Anmian knew that Zhao Jianmin had misinterpreted her words "Don't let her go" as "Don't let Jiang Yi go either," what would Xia Anmian think?

Do you think she's the one who ruined Jiang Yi?

Would you feel that she has wronged her?

More importantly, she couldn't get past Su Xiaoyue either.

She witnessed Su Xiaoyue cutting her wrists, receiving blood transfusions, and crying while clinging to Jiang Yi's arm. She knew better than anyone Su Xiaoyue's obsession with Jiang Yi.

If Su Xiaoyue knew that the reason Jiang Yi suffered so much was because of a single sentence from Gu Qinghan, then their ten-year friendship...

She dared not think any further.

Gu Qinghan buried her face in her palms and pressed her fingertips hard on her forehead a few times, making her temples throb.

She wanted to rush into the restaurant, pull Xia Anmian out, hold Su Xiaoyue down, kick over Jiang Yi's chair, and untangle this mess, smooth it out, and sort it out again.

But she knew that doing so would only make things worse. She could only wait.

Wait until Xia Anmian comes out, wait until she takes the initiative to find her, and then she will decide what to say and what to hide.

Gu Qinghan took her phone out of her pocket and placed it on the table with the screen facing up.

She stared at the dark screen, as if waiting for it to light up, or perhaps afraid that it would.

Time passed second by second. Gu Qinghan didn't know how long she had been waiting—maybe five minutes, maybe ten minutes, maybe even longer.

The sky outside the window had darkened a bit. In early spring in Kyoto, evenings come quickly, and streetlights are lighting up one after another, forming a long, warm orange line against the gray-blue sky.

The hotel's glass door finally moved.

Xia Anmian walked out from inside, her steps hurried, the hem of her trench coat billowing up and fluttering backward.

She had her head down, so her expression was not visible.

I just stood there, letting the cold wind blow.

Immediately afterwards, the telephone rang.

Gu Qinghan quickly grabbed the phone next to her.

Sure enough, the phone number in the phone was saved as Xia Anmian.

She took a deep breath and quickly answered the phone.

Feigning nonchalance, she asked first, "Anmian, you're back?"

Xia Anmian's voice sounded noticeably nasal, clearly indicating that she had just been crying.

"Qinghan, have you been with that Su Xiaoyue all this time?"

Gu Qinghan's heart skipped a beat.

She didn't answer immediately, but tentatively asked, "Did you just meet with Xiaoyue?"

"Hmm! Qinghan, I want to ask what happened while I was away from Kyoto?"

Xia Anmian seemed to be getting impatient, and the other end immediately stated the purpose of her call.

Gu Qinghan breathed a sigh of relief.

Only then did he tell Xia Anmian everything.

Of course, the fact that Zhao Jianmin misunderstood his intentions was omitted; it was simply said that it was Zhao Jianmin's doing alone.

"Anmian, I've said everything. Do you have any more questions?"

"have!"

There was a moment of silence on the other end, as if they had been thinking for a long time, before the voice finally came out.

"Qinghan, what is Su Xiaoyue's attitude towards him?"

"he?"

Gu Qinghan was initially puzzled, but then she understood.

This person is Jiang Yi.

Gu Qinghan remained silent for a moment, but finally told the truth.

Gu Qinghan started the story from Jiang Miaomiao's online romance.

"I heard that after Jiang Miaomiao used Jiang Yi's photos to start an online romance, Xiaoyue actually committed suicide by cutting her wrists that very night!"

"No need to say anything!"

Upon hearing this, Xia Anmian immediately stopped Gu Qinghan and then decisively hung up the phone.

Even several minutes after the call was disconnected, Gu Qinghan remained stunned.

Until the bell rang again.

Gu Qinghan quickly took it and discovered that it was Su Xiaoyue's.

After hesitating for a moment, she answered the phone.

"Qinghan, we're going home. Where are you?"

Hearing Su Xiaoyue's bright laughter from the other end, Gu Qinghan roughly understood.

This matter should have been resolved.

She gave a bitter smile.

"You guys go back first, I have something to take care of."

Su Xiaoyue said a few more words, but Gu Qinghan had no interest in listening until Su Xiaoyue hung up the phone.

Gu Qinghan immediately made a phone call.

"Hey, I want to go abroad. Get me a spot, the sooner the better!"

……

On the other side, Xia Anmian hung up the phone.

She didn't want to listen anymore.

She was afraid that if she listened any longer, she would pity the woman.

Although that woman looked pitiful, it was none of her business!

I must take them back.

Thinking of this, Xia Anmian opened her phone and swiped to System B.

A familiar voice came from inside.

"Hello, Master, this is Xiao Yi. What are your orders?"

The voice that sounded exactly like his made Xia Anmian tremble violently, further strengthening her resolve to win back Jiang Yi's heart.

"Connect to the transportation system!"

Please enter the key.

Xia Anmian paused for a moment, then said with certainty.

"0713 I love you!"

[Key correct! Xiao Yi has been connected to the transportation system. Would you like Xiao Yi to help its owner find its lover?]

"No, initiate the destruction process!"

As she spoke, Xia Anmian imported Su Xiaoyue's photo into the system.

Please enter the key.

"000"

[Key entered correctly, reading image]

[Searching for information about the person in the image]

[Analyzing the person's commuting logic]

Analysis progress 0%

Analysis progress 100%

[Insufficient sample size makes it impossible to accurately analyze the commuting patterns of individuals.]

[Conclusion]

[Perfect solution has been generated]

[99% probability of the target being injured]

[The target person has a 9% probability of dying]

Should we proceed?

Xia Anmian looked at the big red button.

This system was developed on a whim by someone after it was integrated into the transportation system.

It is possible to study a person's commuting patterns to control traffic lights at that moment, thus causing traffic accidents.

Someone was killed in a traffic accident.

I made this just for fun, and never thought I would actually use it one day.

But now, we have no choice but to use it.

Although this can only be used once, she can't care about that now!

Since I can't stop you from taking him away.

Then I'll find a way to kill you!

Just as I was about to press it.

The phone rang.

Looking at Sun Miaomiao's nickname in the caller ID, Xia Anmian wanted to hang up.

However, the phone answered itself.

"Boss, boss, please don't press it! Please don't press it!"

"Boss, didn't we agree that this program was just for research and fun? Why did you actually use it?"

Xia Anmian had no intention of explaining to Sun Miaomiao at the moment; she just wanted to hang up the phone.

However, as soon as the call ended, Sun Miaomiao called back immediately.

"Boss, boss, you really can't do this!"

"You'd go to jail, I'm saving you!"

Sun Miaomiao was very anxious, and even started shouting while panting heavily.

However, Xia Anmian remained unmoved.

"So what? Going to jail is fine, I don't care!"

At this moment, in an office building somewhere in Kyoto.

The girl, who was less than 1.6 meters tall, was practically running herself ragged as she clutched her phone and ran toward the server room.

Every second counts!

Make sure to cut off the power to the server room before the boss does something stupid!

Just as we were about to enter the server room, the boss's icy voice came through the phone.

"So what? I don't care if I go to jail!"

When Xia Anmian said those words, Sun Miaomiao felt like the sky had fallen.

But boss, I'll have to go to jail too!
