"I rember clearly, back then Chi Yu acted like soone who had never seen the world, deliberately showing that in front of . He pretended to know nothing and kept pestering to teach him, but in reality, he was a young master of the prestigious Quan Family..."
Dao An was montarily speechless.
Too shocked...no, it was more like terrified.
Currently, Dao An thought if the kidnapping of Chi Yu hadn’t happened, President Gu would have spoken these words with undeniable anger — an anger that couldn’t be forgiven.
The thing President Gu couldn’t tolerate the most was deception, and even more so, Chi Yu had deceived her for two years, hiding his true identity all along.
But now, Chi Yu’s life was in danger, and the whole ordeal had started with President Gu, thus it must also end with President Gu.
At twelve, Gu Yuan made a call to Fang Yumin.
Fang Yumin refused to answer.
He called back afterward.
Gu Yuan: "So cautious, it seems you are not very confident either."
"Whether I’m confident or not doesn’t matter. The main point is, my confidence is Miss Gu’s fatal weakness, and that alone is enough." Fang Yumin’s voice was extrely assured through the receiver.
Gu Yuan said: "I want to hear Chi Yu’s voice."
"Sure, of course, that’s no problem."
In the pitch-black room.
Upon opening the door, the stench of the sea mixed with the tallic sll of blood filled the air. The bloodstains on the ground had dried up, and the man curled up in the corner was covered in wounds, his hand was broken and could no longer be raised, his pale face was stained with blood...
He was motionless, seemingly devoid of any signs of life.
No matter how much water was splashed onto him, he had no reaction. Reaching out to feel his breath, he was still hanging by a thread.
At that mont, this man who seed lifeless moved slightly upon hearing the voice from the phone speaker...
Pain caused his whole body to convulse and spasm in agony; he struggled to open his dark eyes, instinctively searching for the direction of the sound—
Gu Yuan didn’t know Chi Yu’s current condition, but it couldn’t be anything good; it was definitely very bad.
She attempted to call out, "Chi Yu?... Can you hear ?"
The man responded instinctively, "Yuan, Yuan..."
A dry, coarse voice, shattered, as he uttered those words, his throat seed to burn like fire.
Gu Yuan’s heart sank heavily; she wouldn’t mistake it, that was indeed Chi Yu’s voice. She tried to call him again, but there was no further response. What followed was the sound of Fang Yumin: "It’s not that I’m not giving him a chance to speak; it’s he who chooses not to speak."
Gu Yuan felt a heavy weight in her heart.
She took a deep breath, unable to calm herself after two or three attempts.
"I hope you keep your promise and don’t hurt him again," Gu Yuan spoke with restraint.
Fang Yumin: "Of course, before Miss Gu arrives, I will certainly treat him well with food and drink."
After speaking, Fang Yumin hung up.
The dial tone echoed from the receiver, and Gu Yuan gripped her phone tightly.
It’s not that other ans couldn’t be used; it’s just that she couldn’t afford to gamble. She couldn’t use Chi Yu’s life as a bet.
...
Around five in the afternoon, Wen Fei arrived at Sui City Airport.
As always, Gu Yuan went to greet her in person.
This ti when Wen Fei saw Gu Yuan, she wasn’t wearing the frozen expression she had last ti. She affectionately reached out and hugged Gu Yuan, "Missed your mom?"
Gu Yuan replied with a smile, "Missed you a lot."
"Pity I didn’t miss you. If it weren’t for the ten billion, we wouldn’t et again until next year." Wen Fei’s smile didn’t reach her eyes.
Gu Yuan only gave a faint smile.
During the long flight of over ten hours, Wen Fei had eaten well and slept enough, but sitting for too long made her feet a bit swollen, which made her uncomfortable.
Because it was Gu Yuan who asked her to co back this ti, Wen Fei started being overbearing and impolite, giving orders with a justified sense of entitlent.
She asked for sothing, and Gu Yuan would give it to her without hesitation.
Even if she ordered Gu Yuan around, Gu Yuan had no complaints and was entirely obedient.
"My feet are a bit swollen, I need to wear slippers now, you put them on for ," Wen Fei commanded.
At that mont, Gu Yuan had just gotten out of the car, and from behind ca Wen Fei’s commanding tone, she turned back without any complaints, took out the spare slippers from the car, and bent down to put them on Wen Fei.
Thorough and patient.
Dao An, witnessing this, could not endure, especially seeing President Gu personally putting slippers on Wen Fei: "President Gu, I’ll imdiately arrange for a Filipino maid to co."
"Heh," Wen Fei let out a cold laugh, "I’m enhancing the relationship between mother and daughter with my daughter, on what grounds do you interfere!"
Dao An: "..."
Gu Yuan looked calm, turned back, and said, "No need, taking care of my mom personally is what I should do."
