Her destiny stolen? The Divine Witch Ancestor has returned!

Chapter 78 The Turbulent Times Begin to Rise in the Capital

"You... the fire at the Ye family's place—"

Before Gu Chen could finish speaking, Wu Zhao raised her hand and covered his mouth.

She nestled into his arms and quickly said, "Don't say it! Don't say it! It has nothing to do with me!"

The heavenly lightning is about to strike! Can you, the favored son of Heaven, please stop reminding us who did this bad thing?

She still carried the chill of the night air as she touched his warm lips.

Gu Chen's body stiffened slightly, his hand still around Wu Zhao's waist.

Fortunately, the thunder only lasted a few times and then stopped.

But Wu Zhao heard his own heart pounding faster than thunder.

One beat after another, as if trying to perfectly match one's own heartbeat.

She looked up and met Gu Chen's dark eyes.

"You...are afraid of thunder too?" Wu Zhao let go of his hand and comforted him, "It's okay, it won't strike you."

Patting his chest, Wu Zhao felt a little smug.

As expected, Heavenly lightning won't strike Gu Chen!

She suddenly had a brilliant idea that allowed her to do bad things without getting struck by lightning.

With Gu Chen around, what did she have to fear from the Heavenly Tribulation?

"I went to see Ye Linyan because I sensed the curse of Shen Jiaojiao on his assistant. She and Yue Jinsheng are definitely still in contact."

Wu Zhao explained why he went out, "Also, Ye Linyan himself said that the security department is going to deal with the Huo family!"

Gu Chen patted her on the back. "I know that the Ye family has absolute power in the garrison, and even the Gu family is suppressed."

"The Ye family has always disliked the Huo family, and now that they finally have a handle on them, they naturally want to use it."

Wu Zhao's mind raced: "Could it be that Shen Jiaojiao had this intention when she killed the cameraman?"

Trying to frame Huo Weiwei?

"I don't know," Gu Chen shook his head. "It could be a spur-of-the-moment decision, or it could be something planned in advance."

"Ye Linyan is an unfathomable man; you'd better not get too close to him."

This person usually lives a secluded life in his small building, but he still knows everything about the capital city.

The current head of the Ye family occasionally stays here for a while; whether he comes to rest or to see Ye Linyan is still unknown.

"Don't worry, I won't see him alone anymore."

Originally, Wu Zhao just wanted to confirm whether Shen Jiaojiao and the Ye family had any cooperation, and Ye Linyan's face also made him a little uneasy.

However, after seeing him tonight, Wu Zhao confirmed that Ye Linyan was not Jun Wu.

He is the embodiment of the Heavenly Dao, and he cannot tolerate anything sinister or treacherous...

As Wu Zhao was thinking this, she was about to make a move when she realized something was wrong with her hands.

When she looked up, she realized she was still in the position of being nestled in Gu Chen's arms.

A hand was still pressed against his chest.

"Uh..." Wu Zhao chuckled dryly as he quickly withdrew his hand, "Well, I'm tired! I'm going to rest now!"

Gu Chen raised his hand to smooth his collar, watching her hurried figure run away.

"...Use it and then throw it away."

With a soft sigh, Gu Chen turned his gaze to the window.

Next door, flames soared into the sky, and voices filled the air, turning the sky itself red.

"Go and see them, and help them if needed."

He casually instructed, "Take a look at this Mr. Ye, see if he is truly frail and sickly."

Zi Yao and Qing Yao, who had been silent in the corner, said at the same time, "Yes, Patriarch."

Gu Chen's gaze was icy, with a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"Ye Linyan...?"

"That face is indeed quite interesting..."

Who peered into the past and used his original incarnation to create a face that looked exactly the same?

Did Zhao Zhao... find out?

With his eyes closed, Gu Chen's face suddenly turned somewhat pale in the darkness.

Even the stars in the sky outside dimmed, and the dark night sky seemed about to collapse.

"Not yet..."

"Zhao Zhao..."

A sigh disappeared into the night.

……

The sky is bright.

Wu Zhao walked downstairs with a long face.

Originally, I thought that with Gu Chen around, nothing would happen, but when the Divine Shaman got up, he found that the spiritual energy in his body had disappeared!

Damn that dog of a Heavenly Dao!

They've schemed against me again!

Gritting his teeth, Wu Zhao angrily sat down at the dining table, picked up a piece of toast, and took a big bite.

Seeing that she looked unwell, Gu Chen said, "I'm going to the garrison today. Zhao Zhao, would you like to come with me?"

"Of course!"

She's going to stay by Gu Chen's side all day!

Wu Zhao thought to himself.

We absolutely must extract as much auspicious energy as possible from Gu Chen today.

Huo Weiwei shrank her neck: "Then I'll stay at home."

After Gu Chen explained the pros and cons to her in the study last night, she became somewhat dejected.

Worried about becoming a target of the Huo family, Huo Weiwei became somewhat anxious.

“I’ll have Ziyao stay home with you,” Gu Chen said. “We’ll be back soon.”

Wu Zhao patted Huo Weiwei's head. "She'll be fine soon."

"Huo Tingchen will be returning to the capital today, don't worry."

After thinking for a moment, Wu Zhao said, "I'll find a way to get rid of the curse on Huo Tingchen when he comes back."

Now that we know about the existence of that little evil statue, the curse on him shouldn't linger any longer.

"Okay, I'll do whatever you say." Gu Chen nodded.

The two left together.

With nothing to do, Huo Weiwei dragged Ziyao to water the flowers in the yard.

A short while later, her phone rang.

Shen Jiaojiao's name was clearly flashing on the screen.

Her hand trembled, and her phone fell into the bucket of water at her feet.

Water from the bucket splashed onto her legs, and the icy touch gave Huo Weiwei a sense of foreboding.

"Miss, what's wrong?"

Zi Yao noticed that she was standing still and asked her a question.

Huo Weiwei's face was tense. "Ziyao, is it... possible to contact your uncle?"

"I... have a bad feeling."

……

Qingyao drove quietly on the road to the Imperial Capital Garrison.

The security post is located not far from the center of the Imperial Capital, but it's a distance from the villa.

Gu Chen sat in the car with his eyes closed, resting, while Wu Zhao looked at the heart of the country with some curiosity.

The bustling capital city, brimming with the aura of national destiny, caught Wu Zhao's eye.

"I never imagined that China's national destiny would be so immense..."

She murmured.

Gu Chen didn't hear what she said, and when he opened his eyes, he saw Wu Zhao's somewhat complicated expression.

"What's wrong Zhao Zhao?"

Wu Zhao shook his head: "It's nothing, I'm just... quite happy."

The human race is so prosperous under the protection of Heaven; perhaps this is the result of that guy's single-minded pursuit of mending the pillar of heaven...

The car turned off the bustling main road and onto the quiet side road where there were only a few pedestrians.

People in police uniforms were already standing guard on both sides of the road.

Qingyao said, "The garrison is just around the corner."

Wu Zhao suddenly felt uneasy.

"Wait--"

A car suddenly darted out from around the corner and crashed into them at high speed.

"Danger!"

Qingyao swerved urgently, but paused when he saw the terrified pedestrians on the sidewalk.

"Zhao Zhao!"

Urgent calls rang out, and Gu Chen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes as he was pinned down.

Between breaths, Wu Zhao's voice was low: "Don't move."

With a loud bang, the two cars collided.

In an instant, flames shot up into the sky!

Alarms and screams blared through the sky.

"Help! Someone come quick!"
