Gu Yangtao just felt extremely strange. Since she was now right under Gu Chenfei's nose, Gu Chenfei surely didn't need to send anyone to follow her anymore.
But then, where had those people gone? Gu Yangtao's curiosity was instantly piqued. Moreover, when she had just listened to that person's report, she had watched the surveillance footage of that section of the road.
Gu Yangtao noticed the person who had pushed Gu Sisi away. The surveillance camera had captured that person's face, and he was kind of handsome. Gu Yangtao thought to herself like a lovestruck girl. She had always been curious about who exactly Gu Chenfei had sent to follow her.
"So... how many people did you send to follow Sister Sisi?"
"Not many, six in total. They work in shifts of three." Gu Chenfei's answer was as concise as ever.
"Are you very curious?" Gu Chenfei suddenly stared at Gu Yangtao.
"No, no, how could I be? I want braised pork and Dongpo tofu for lunch..." Gu Yangtao tried to brush it off with a laugh and changed the topic by talking about lunch.
Gu Chenfei gave her a look and then walked away. But in Gu Yangtao's mind, she was thinking about when they were still in the Gu family. At that time, these six people should have been following her.
They had been by Gu Yangtao's side ever since Gu Chenfei became independent. On several occasions when Gu Yangtao was in danger, it was them who had stepped in to turn the situation around. At first, Gu Yangtao also thought she was just lucky.
But as the number of dangerous situations she encountered increased and became more frequent, Gu Yangtao began to suspect.
It might be good luck to be saved once, and a coincidence to be saved twice. But what about three, four, or five times? Gu Yangtao simply couldn't believe she was that lucky.
One day when she was taking a noon nap at home, she suddenly heard Gu Chenfei's voice. At that time, Gu Chenfei hadn't been home for a long time. Although Gu Yangtao didn't say anything, she still missed her very much in her heart.
So she quietly got up and peeked through the crack of the door. She saw Gu Sisi standing outside her bedroom door, and there was a person squatting in front of her. That person was saying something to Gu Chenfei.
Gu Yangtao listened intermittently and found that this person was reporting all of her daily activities.
On the morning of November 9th, she went out to meet a female friend. The two of them went shopping and had lunch together. They seemed very happy. On the way back, she encountered a driver with evil intentions.
On November 10th, because she was scared the previous night, she went to bed late and didn't sleep well. She got up very late in the morning and almost was late for school. Everything was normal at school, and there were no problems, but she seemed in a gloomy mood.
On November 11th, a boy confessed his love to her, but she rejected him, saying he wasn't her type. After school, she went to a KTV with some of her sisters. She lied to her parents that she was going to study. She drank alcohol at the KTV.
On November 12th...
On November 13th...
...
Gu Yangtao still remembered her feelings at that time, from surprise and anticipation to shock and fear. She really hadn't expected that her own sister, Gu Chenfei, would send people to follow her like this.
No wonder she had never come to see her. No wonder there had always been unknown people to help her whenever she was in danger.
Gu Yangtao felt a complex mix of emotions at that moment. Gu Chenfei sending people to follow her like this, reporting every single detail to her, was undoubtedly surveillance!
She had no privacy at all. That was Gu Yangtao's only thought at that time. The report from that person was so detailed that it even included her mood that day.
Gu Yangtao thought that as long as Gu Chenfei wanted, that person could report to her what she had eaten every day.
Since then, Gu Yangtao had known that Gu Chenfei had sent people to follow her. At that time, she really wanted to open the door and question Gu Chenfei why she had treated her like this. But Gu Yangtao knew that she had no reason to refute.
The existence of these people not only monitored Gu Yangtao's every move but also protected her safety. On several critical occasions, it was all thanks to them.
Gu Yangtao was a person who clearly distinguished between kindness and grudges. She was grateful to them.
Regardless of whether they were Gu Chenfei's subordinates or not, Gu Yangtao's gratitude towards them was the same.
If she were to jump out and show her dissatisfaction now, with Gu Chenfei's personality, it might bring bad things to those people. Gu Yangtao always had a bad premonition.
So Gu Yangtao chose to quietly watch through the crack of the door at that time. She watched as Gu Chenfei listened to the report from the person in front of her in a superior manner, and she always looked expressionless, as if she was listening to something unimportant.
Humph, this person always has the same expression. If she really didn't care, why would she go to so much trouble!
Gu Yangtao still remembered that this was the only thought in her mind when she was looking at Gu Chenfei at that time. She covered her mouth, but couldn't stop the tears from falling one by one.
Gu Yangtao really hated Gu Chenfei's behavior. She didn't like her life being completely exposed to others, even if that other person was Gu Chenfei, her own sister!
But for some reason, looking at Gu Chenfei, Gu Yangtao just couldn't stop her tears. By then, it had been a full two years since Gu Chenfei had left home to be independent.
In these two years, Gu Chenfei had never been home once or made a single phone call. Gu Yangtao was in a fight with Gu Chenfei, so she didn't ask. Strangely enough, her parents never mentioned Gu Chenfei either.
Although Gu Yangtao thought it was very strange, it was her stubbornness at that time that suppressed her curiosity and worry about Gu Chenfei's whereabouts.
Only she herself knew that sometimes when she couldn't sleep at midnight, she would quietly take out the photo of her and Gu Chenfei and look at it. She had looked at that photo many times.
At that time, Gu Yangtao wasn't sure how many people were following her. She also didn't know if this small detail would be noticed or if it would be reported to Gu Chenfei.
At that moment, when she was in a daze, Gu Yangtao didn't notice that the report from the person outside had stopped and that Gu Chenfei was getting closer...
"Ouch!" The door was pushed open, and Gu Yangtao fell to the ground. She was looking at Gu Chenfei in front of her in a daze. Gu Chenfei's expression was also one that Gu Yangtao had never seen before, as if the world was collapsing.
Probably because she had never seen Gu Chenfei with such an expression, Gu Yangtao didn't even notice the pain on her forehead for a moment and burst out laughing.
After she had laughed enough, she found that Gu Chenfei had returned to her cold face, looking at her with a cold aura all over her body.
At that time, Gu Yangtao hadn't learned the trick of hugging her arms and acting coquettishly. Seeing Gu Chenfei's expression getting more and more terrifying, Gu Yangtao stopped laughing based on the principle of cutting losses in time.
What happened next also really surprised Gu Yangtao. Gu Chenfei pulled her up. She didn't scold her for laughing, nor did she ask why she was hiding behind the door.
She didn't say a single word. She just took out the first - aid kit at home, found some medicine, and applied it to Gu Yangtao's wound. Her movements were so gentle that it didn't seem like the Gu Chenfei she remembered.
Now that she thought about it, finding people to follow and protect might be Gu Chenfei's way of being a sister.
