My Name is Zero Seven
From the very beginning, when he allowed her to treat him, he had always believed in her.
She was his ally.
Thinking of this, Lu Lingxiao's expression turned slightly cold. He gave a firm order:
"This matter is not to be mentioned again!"
Qin Yu always followed Third Master's orders without question.
"Yes!"
Just as he was about to leave the sickroom, he suddenly heard Lu Lingxiao give another command.
"Also, find her phone number. I want her."
Her—of course, he was referring to Gu Ling.

When Gu Ling received the message, she was at the Lu family's house.
It was from an unknown number, and the message was short but clear:
"After taking the medicine, my body has improved. Thank you."
Coincidentally, she had just returned from the mall and was on her way home.
As soon as she placed her newly bought clothes down, she received a call from Grandpa Lu, asking her to come over for a talk.
Talk or not, Gu Ling didn't really care.
But after thinking for a moment, she remembered that the original owner of this body had left some personal belongings in the Lu family's house.
This was a good opportunity to retrieve them.
So, she agreed.
Gu Ling glanced at the message on her phone.
She didn't even need to guess who sent it.
Who else could it be but that man?
Her red lips curled slightly as an image of Lu Lingxiao's handsome face appeared in her mind.
Like a proud lion, he had once been conquered by her. In front of her, his expression had softened.
She admitted—she enjoyed the feeling of taming something wild.
In her past life, she had kept a pet tiger from Africa for the same reason.
Her fingers lightly tapped on the screen.
"You're welcome."
"Take care of yourself."
After sending the message, she stepped into the Lu family's mansion.

Grandpa Lu had been waiting for her for a long time.
As soon as he saw her, he smiled and patted the seat next to him.
"Miss Ling is here? Come, come, sit down!"
Gu Ling stood at the door, not moving forward.
"Why did you call for me, Grandpa Lu?"
Strictly speaking, the original owner of this body had liked Grandpa Lu very much.
He had always treated her well and had even tried to maintain her ridiculous marriage with Lu Ming.
However, she was not the original Gu Ling.
She had no attachment to Grandpa Lu.
She had her own past.
Her world was one of blood and war.
Not here.
Grandpa Lu smiled as he carefully poured tea from a delicate teapot.
"Your grandfather wants you to come back and have a talk," he said casually.
Gu Ling didn't respond, only stepping forward and sitting down quietly.
This old man appeared kind and warm, but underneath his kindness, there was always an agenda.
Grandpa Lu took a slow sip of tea before speaking again.
"I looked into it. Did Mrs. Lu Ming really lay a hand on you a few days ago?"
He didn't wait for her answer and continued at his own pace.
"She was indeed a little impulsive. If you are unhappy, you can always come to me… But divorce is a serious matter. It should be carefully considered."
Gu Ling's response was immediate.
"There is nothing to consider," she said flatly. Her voice was clear and cold.
"We are not suitable for each other."
Grandpa Lu sighed.
"Don't be so hasty, Ling Ya Tou. Didn't you like Ah Ming before?"
He paused for a moment before continuing.
Gu Ling's gaze didn't waver.
"I don't like him anymore."
"If you only called me here for this, then we have nothing more to talk about."
She stood up, ready to go upstairs and retrieve the original owner's belongings before leaving.
"Wait, why?" Grandpa Lu frowned.
"Ling Ya Tou, why have you changed so much?"
"Tell Grandpa. Maybe I can help you."
His voice was gentle, filled with concern.
Gu Ling stopped.
Under his questioning gaze, she slowly turned her head.
Her voice was cold and steady.
"Why?"
"Because the previous Gu Ling is already dead."
"She died the day she was beaten."
"The person standing before you now is not her at all."
She paused.
Then, she said something that sent chills down Grandpa Lu's spine.
"My real name is Zero Seven. And I come from—"
