Chapter 743: I’ll Send You Abroad In Advance
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Gu Xiande narrowed his eyes threateningly and looked at him firmly. “That’s enough. You’re no longer the leader of this place now. Leave this office.”
Gu Jingze walked around his desk silently and only picked up his clothes. “Grandfather, if you continue being this way, you’re going to really be a lonely person.”
Gu Xiande grunted slightly, “When you’re the head of the Gu family, you’re already destined to be a lonely person. If you don’t realize this now and you’re still bent on protecting that woman, then you’re indeed not fit to be the head of the house. I need to remind you in advance. A great man has to be ruthless. In order to achieve your goals, you have to sacrifice everything. I want to sacrifice Lin Che now and if it’s not possible in the future, I might even have to sacrifice you. Jingze, I can make you lose your position easily now. How long do you think you can protect Lin Che? For the rest of your life?”
Gu Jingze paused in his steps. He stopped at the door but did not turn back. He continued to step out without a sound.

At home, Lin Che had plenty of things. Looking at yet another pile of stuff from Mu Wanqing, she felt helpless.
When Gu Jingze entered, Lin Che said, “I’d better leave the country quickly. Otherwise, I think Mom might buy the entire B City for me.”
Gu Jingze went to Lin Che’s side, gazed at her, and slowly took her hand.
Lin Che looked up. “What’s wrong?”
Gu Jingze only looked at her quietly. He was also glad that he couldn’t do anything to her. He knew that she was pregnant and could only endure it. Otherwise, if he could do anything to her now, he might only get too impulsive and accidentally hurt her.
After some time, he finally spoke, “Okay. If you want to, we’ll send you abroad earlier.”
“Yeah, I’m fine anyway. We can do it earlier.”
“Okay, I’ll make the arrangements tomorrow.”
Gu Jingze took her hand. “Come, let’s go rest. Come sleep with me for a while.”
Lin Che looked up at him as he led her into the bedroom.
They did not do anything and only hugged each other. It felt very warm as Gu Jingze spooned her until dusk. His gaze remained fixated on her. He gently kissed her on her eyelids and carefully pulled the blanket over her.
If he could, he really wanted her to be by his side just like this.
That was a thought he never had with Mo Huiling.
Thus, Grandfather was wrong. He did not fall in love with every woman he met. He only had a plain feeling towards Mo Huiling and never had the feelings he had towards Lin Che. He could not control his own emotions and only wanted to treat her well. He wanted to give her the world and even that did not feel like it was enough.
He also never thought that he would have such strong feelings toward someone. He never thought that this person would be Lin Che.
However, he could not deny that he indeed had very deep feelings for this woman. Furthermore, he could not let go.
Thus, he also needed to stand taller for her.
Just like what his grandfather said, a great man had to be ruthless.
In the darkness, his eyes shone faintly.
Then, he slowly drifted off to sleep…

The next day.
Gu Jingze arranged a flight for Lin Che.
Lin Che’s luggage was already packed in the morning.
Gu Jingze sent some people to the airport first. Then, he drove Lin Che over.
In the car, he looked at Lin Che and said plainly, “Remember not to roam about when you’re there. Protect yourself. I won’t be with you so you have to be extra vigilant.”
Lin Che looked at Gu Jingze. “Don’t worry, I will. For our child, I’ll be careful too.”
Actually, after that incident with Li Mingyu, she was already trying her best to be more careful because she understood that one incident could make her pay the price. Thus, she didn’t dare to be so casual again.
However, just at this moment.
A car was gradually getting closer from behind.
Gu Jingze’s sharp eyes turned to the rearview mirror.
He saw a black car or two. When they got closer, Gu Jingze gradually increased his speed.
Lin Che could feel the car going faster. They were so fast that they were surpa.s.sing the cars beside them.
She grabbed the handle at the top. The car was stable, but they were going very fast.
The cars at the sides watched in puzzlement. A dark blue car swerved in from the side. It went past a driver who wanted to swear loudly. However, he saw the logo on the car and mumbled sarcastically, “So what if you’re rich? You’re driving a million-yuan car like a plane.”
However, everyone behind thought that something was off as that car that just flew by like the wind was followed by a few black cars behind.
“Wow, what’s happening? Are they racing on the streets?”
Some people also noticed that something was wrong. This was like a scene from a movie that suddenly appeared in front of them. The car in front seemed to be running away while the cars behind seemed to be chasing after it.
Lin Che also realized that something was different. She looked at Gu Jingze whose face was as cold as ice. His lips were pursed tightly and his hands turned the steering wheel quickly. He was calm, but there was fierceness in his eyes.
“Gu Jingze, who are the people behind?”
Gu Jingze replied, “My grandfather’s people.”
“They…” Lin Che was shocked as she remembered what Gu Xiande said to her that day.
Gu Jingze glanced at Lin Che comfortingly. “We’re changing airports at the last minute. Don’t worry. Everything will be fine.”
Lin Che knew that, but she also understood that something must have happened. Gu Jingze was not telling her, perhaps because he didn’t want her to worry. Perhaps he didn’t want her to think too much. However, something definitely happened to Gu Jingze.
The car flew across the streets like the wind.
The traffic police in front naturally realized this early and wanted to stop them. However, they saw the blue logo on the back of the car and immediately knew that this was a Gu family car.
The traffic police did not dare to take a second look as they watched the whole scene unfold in front of them. However, without any orders from above, n.o.body dared to interfere in the Gu family’s affairs.
The car went through a bridge smoothly, then turned a corner and onto a small road.
Gu Jingze’s judgment was quick and calm. His swift and accurate hands allowed him to successfully shake off the pursuers.
Subsequently, the car turned from the trail towards the airport.
Gu Jingze knew that Gu Xiande did not allow him to send Lin Che away because Gu Xiande already likely realized that Gu Jingze wanted to hide Lin Che completely so that he would not be able to find her.
After all, Gu Xiande was Gu Jingze’s grandfather and they were connected by blood. He understood Gu Jingze’s thoughts.
However, although Gu Xiande removed his t.i.tle from the Gu Industries, he could not erase the abilities that Gu Jingze had been groomed to learn. He still had guards that belonged solely to him.
The car finally stopped at a private airport.
