Chapter 337: Chapter 160: Even Jesus Can’t Save You Today!

Gu Tongshu quickly hit it off with Zhang Renhui and his two companions.

With his experience and knowledge, sweet-talking a bunch of kids was even easier for him than for Su Huai.

As the conversation flowed naturally, it eventually led to the subject of this trip.

"You guys are pretty impressive, self-organizing, traveling as a whole class, handling everything yourselves, it’s really not easy."

Gu Tongshu knew exactly how to compliment them, and his words quickly lit up their collective sense of pride.

"Even us adults encounter various problems during company team-building activities without a highly authoritative leader to keep control, constantly dealing with intrigues; and they’re all top-tier university postgraduates, no less."

Zhang Renhui beamed with proud satisfaction, "We do have authority! Dual authority of the class president and the goddess!"

"Oh?"

Gu Tongshu merely showed an interested expression, and Gao and Er Gao started babbling eagerly.

"Our class president manages the people, and our goddess manages the finances. They are a perfect match made in heaven, their coordination is just too flawless!"

I don’t like the sound of that.

Gu Tongshu’s cheeks twitched, nearly grinding his teeth to pieces.

Then, with a look of naive honesty, Er Gao plunged another knife into his chest.

"Uncle, you’re right. Collective activities definitely need a leader, someone with prestige who can suppress distractions. Our class president does just that, and with Goddess Yue backing him with so much money, of course everyone’s going to fall in line!"

"You mean to say... your class’ goddess spent all that money for your class president?"

Gu Tongshu was astounded.

My daughter, taking the initiative to spend money to please a young punk?!

Er Gao waved his hands in a hurry, "No, no, it’s not like spending money specifically for him..."

Gao delved into the details, "But if it weren’t for Huai, Goddess Yue definitely wouldn’t care so much."

"Exactly, exactly!"

Zhang Renhui added, "Goddess Yue isn’t that familiar with the other students in class. She could go anywhere she likes on her own. The main reason she took us along was because the class president wanted to organize a team-building event."

Er Gao nodded immediately, "Right, Goddess Yue isn’t that sociable. We’re just her add-ons this time, mostly it’s their romantic getaway..."

Crack!

A crisp sound interrupted Er Gao’s prattle.

The three boys turned to look in shock as Gu Tongshu quickly disposed of the burst soda can, forcing a smile, "Sorry about that, I just like fidgeting with soda cans, the crunching sound is really soothing..."

"Oh!"

The boys nodded in understanding, with Gao even taking his finished soda can and squeezing it between his hands until it collapsed, poof, into a compressed disk.

"What a coincidence! I like crunching soda cans too! Uncle, wanna see who does it better?"

Gu Tongshu’s mouth twitched uncontrollably as he sensed the horror of madness.

He hurriedly changed the topic, "Is your class president pursuing your class’ goddess?"

"I don’t think so?"

The trio exchanged uncertain glances and shook their heads.

"We don’t think it’s like that."

"Just treating her normally, right?"

"Well, Goddess Yue seems to treat Huai quite differently, doesn’t she?"

"Yeah! Anyway, if anything happens between them, I feel like Goddess Yue would have made the first move!"

Gu Tongshu was beside himself with anger, unable to restrain his doubt, "You mean to tell me your class president treats all girls the same? Impossible, right?"

Since Gao and Er Gao were always hanging around Su Huai, they had a clear view and stood up to set things straight.

"Different people need to be treated differently, but I feel like Huai bro treats Goddess Yue the same as Chen Nuanhan, just as good friends, you know?"

"Anyway, I feel like if there was any pursuing going on, it’s them chasing after Huai bro, personal feeling though!"

Zhang Renhui muttered, "Dog Class Leader is so indecisive. Who does he really like? Why not give us a sign? Always preaching about studying hard and not dating, but hogging all the options..."

Chen Nuanhan is who?!!!

Gu Tongshu’s pupils dilated, feeling the situation spiraling out of control.

In fact, he hadn’t really made much effort to investigate Su Huai.

For one, he didn’t feel it was necessary to probe too deeply, and secondly, he had a period of habitual observation.

The so-called "habitual observation period" was his standard approach with all males around his daughter.

There had been many boys who liked Gu Jiuyue throughout her life, and most were proactively "excluded" by her, only those who got close enough warranted some attention.

And during junior and senior high school, the boys that met the ’close enough’ criteria usually required at least a year of extended contact.

As her father, he knew very well how slow to warm up Gu Jiuyue could be.

And yet, Su Huai became an exception.

The only one.

Barely more than half a month in total, even if they saw each other every day, this was way too fast.

And his favorability obviously exceeded all her high school classmates.

This puppy was too good, wasn’t he?

Realizing Su Huai might be a jerk, Gu Tongshu couldn’t wait to inquire, "And who is Chen Nuanhan? Is she your classmate too?"

"No, no," Zhang Renhui boasted in reply, "she’s a girl from the adjacent major, Huai’s high school classmate, and also very pretty. She’s not too far off from our Goddess Yue."

Well, well!

You really dare play both sides, puppy?!

Gu Tongshu was fuming with rage, crunching the soda can again.

But Gao immediately corrected Zhang Renhui’s statement, "That’s an overstatement, how can she compare to Goddess Yue in terms of family background or charm?"

"But she has a good figure!" Zhang Renhui disagreed, "Anyway, if it was up to me, I’d definitely choose Chen Nuanhan!"

"You’re suited to choose a lantern at most!"

"I might not be suited, but Huai bro hasn’t settled on Goddess Yue either, has he?"

The two of them suddenly started arguing, and Er Gao hurried to mediate, "Stop fighting, stop fighting, sooner or later, they’ll all be Huai bro’s. Why worry about it?"

For crying out loud! How wild can you be?

Gu Tongshu’s eyes bulged out, and through that single word "all" he saw Er Gao in a whole new light.

You punk, do you realize you’ve backed yourself into a corner?!

With the conversation reaching this point, Gu Tongshu didn’t want to pry any further. With his thinking ability, he had already grasped the two most crucial points.

First, she was the one making advances.

Second, she wasn’t getting a firm grip!

The beer was too strong today. Gu Tongshu felt his head buzzing, and the more he drank, the more worried he became.

My dear daughter, I know you lacked a normal youth, but can’t you be more selective?

Do you have to get involved with such a character?

Luckily, the three brats were eager to go out and play. After snacking on some fruit, they scampered off. Otherwise, Gu Tongshu couldn’t guarantee he could keep smiling.

In his eyes, Su Huai had been upgraded from "a small-time trickster with some skills" to "a top-tier phoenix man with deep schemes, great at flirting and loaded with ulterior motives and strategies."

It was not objective, but a father could never be truly objective.

"Go! Keep a tight watch on that boy!"

On Gu Tongshu’s command, Wang Gang was suddenly in for a world of suffering.

On a little fishing boat out at sea, he followed Su Huai wherever he went, under the scorching sun, lifting his binoculars, his body covered in layers of salty crust, practically pickled.

However, the following two hours were quite pleasant for Gu Tongshu.

Su Huai was playing with his classmates, and his obedient daughter was resting on the cruise ship, the two of them miles apart. This was the perfect scenario.

Then, at around 4:30 pm, Gu Jiuyue took off her snorkeling suit and reappeared in a light dress in the "surveillance view."

Gu Tongshu suddenly sat up from his lounge chair, picked up his binoculars, and began to feel anxious again.

Sure enough, the worst scenario he imagined happened—the sea dog zoomed over on a jet ski to pick up his obedient daughter and zoomed off toward the opposite side.

"Where are they going?!"

Gu Tongshu was frantic.

Chu Yan opened the map and glanced at it, hesitating to say, "Looking at the direction, they are probably heading to Yinyu or Quanfu Island?"

"What’s the situation over there?"

Chu Yan had done her homework, but it was hard to pinpoint their exact purpose. She could only simply respond, "The beach of Quanfu Island is exceptionally smooth, and Yinyu’s nearshore is a large expanse of reefs forming a shallow green glass sea. I saw Miss bringing her camera; perhaps she’s going to take some photos?"

Taking photos, then there’s no big problem.

Gu Tongshu was just beginning to relax when he suddenly noticed a blind spot—wait! If they were just taking photos, why would they go so far out of their way to the northeast, the furthest point, when the cruise ship was docked on the southwest side, close to us?

Panicked, he quickly pressed, "Look ahead and behind, is there anyone else around?"

Chu Yan searched carefully and shook her head, "There are only Miss and him. Andy and Lan are following on the boat behind, but they are quite far away."

The punk has ulterior motives!

Gu Tongshu was also a man, and one with a lot of experience in the art of romance. He knew all too well what teens were likely up to these days.

"No, we’ll follow them! I need to get to Yueyue right away!"

There was no time to wait for Wang Gang to return by boat. Gu Tongshu charged onto the nearest dinghy, splashing through the water, and ordered the driver to set off immediately.

"Vroom vroom vroom!"

The motor roared, carrying an angry father straight to the scene of the incident...

The dinghy made a circuit south of the two small islands of Quanfu and Yinyu without finding the target, and then it headed north around the islands.

The moment they turned the corner, Gu Tongshu witnessed a scene that made his blood boil—

On a beach with no third person in sight, the punk was gesturing about, and Gu Jiuyue was undressing!

"You beast!"

Furious, Gu Tongshu thundered, "Floor it, push the throttle to the max, faster!"

The dinghy zoomed toward the shoreline.

Gu Jiuyue, hearing the sound of the motor, looked back uneasily. Although she couldn’t see clearly, she felt a boat rushing toward them.

She stopped what she was doing, instinctively covering her chest with her hands and quickly asked Su Huai, "Huaihuai, who’s coming?"

Su Huai was waiting to take photos of Gu in her swimsuit, but his moment was disrupted by a sleazy middle-aged man, and anger surged through him.

"The nouveau riche with the huge sunglasses from before, damn it, he must be here on purpose!"

"Ah? That extremely rude man?"

"Rude would be an understatement!" Su Huai clenched his teeth, "I feel like he’s been staring at you the whole time, and when we were playing the flyboard, he kept hovering nearby. He’s totally sick!"

Gu Jiuyue nodded solemnly and made a quick decision, "I’ll call Wu over, and you ignore him."

The girl had been taught since childhood to "shake someone down at any sign of uncertain security risk" and not to confront people face to face.

But Su Huai couldn’t swallow this affront.

So what if you’re adults?

I’m in peak physical condition, I can take you donkeys on three at a time!

He dumped the camera onto the sand and strode forward to face the threat.

Gu Jiuyue, unable to stop him, did not cause a fuss but calmly instructed, "Don’t be rash, but also don’t be afraid. My family can handle whatever happens."

Well now, what’s there for Su Huai to be afraid of?!

Meanwhile, Gu Tongshu’s boat also reached the coast. He hurriedly jumped off and stormed up to Su Huai, fuming.

Two men approached each other, one with a face of fury, the other with eyes of icy determination.

"What are you following us for?"

Me, follow you?!

Gu Tongshu lost all control over his anger, pointing at Su Huai’s nose, "Kid, you motherfu—"

On hearing the offensive word and noting his hostile demeanor, Su Huai immediately confirmed his antagonism.

Why dawdle?

Before Gu Tongshu could finish his sentence, Su Huai lunged forward with a swift step, unleashing a powerful kick!

"Go to hell!"

Old Man, do you have any clue who’s backing me?

Today, even Jesus can’t save you!
