An Muxin’s tears stread down in fright, but she couldn’t possibly tell the truth at a ti like this.
This was the perfect mont to put an end to An Ge. If she couldn’t withstand Gu Changfeng’s interrogation and spilled the truth, wouldn’t all the plans completely fall apart?
Thus, even though An Muxin’s tears kept flowing, she forced herself to appear composed.
Her reddened eyes gazed at Gu Changfeng:
"Gu Changfeng, are you out of your mind? I have no idea what you’re talking about..."
She hadn’t even finished talking before a blood-curdling scream burst from her.
Gu Changfeng slapped her brutally across her delicate face.
The slap was vicious.
It directly knocked An Muxin off the hospital bed and onto the floor.
Her knees scraped against the ground, tearing her skin, but she didn’t have ti to focus on the overwhelming pain. She was imdiately grabbed by the man with one single hand.
In the next instant, the man raised his arm and gripped her throat viciously, his voice coarse and savage,
"I’ll ask you one last ti—where is she?"
The man’s last three words exploded loudly, his voice like knives stabbing into An Muxin’s heart, causing her entire being to shiver in terror.
Her throat rolled as she desperately shook her head:
"I... I really don’t know what you’re talking about... Gu Changfeng, how dare you treat like this! I’ll tell my elder brother, and he surely won’t let you off... Ah—!"
An Muxin let out another blood-curdling scream.
Gu Changfeng struck her again.
After delivering the slap, he released his grip on An Muxin’s neck.
An Muxin collapsed onto the floor, sitting weakly.
Standing tall, Gu Changfeng looked down at her as he delivered his chilling verdict:
"If even a single hair on her head is hard, I swear today will be the day you die."
Seeing that he couldn’t pry anything out of An Muxin, Gu Changfeng, still uncertain of whether An Ge and Huo Huaisang’s kidnapping was connected to her, decided he couldn’t waste any more ti on her.
The most crucial task now was to determine the exact location of An Ge and Huo Huaisang so he could rescue them in ti.
Gu Changfeng strode out of An Muxin’s hospital room.
Once she saw him turn to leave, An Muxin breathed a sigh of relief.
But soon after, she was swallowed up by overwhelming fear.
She couldn’t understand why Gu Changfeng was so tense about An Ge.
She wondered—what exactly was the relationship between Gu Changfeng and An Ge?
What kind of relationship could make Gu Changfeng lose control like this?
Lovers?
Definitely not.
Affair partners?
That couldn’t be, either. After all, in An Muxin’s view, Gu Changfeng and An Ge had barely interacted.
If they weren’t lovers or affair partners, then could they be family?
But wasn’t Gu Changfeng an orphan?
Could it be that An Ge and Gu Changfeng really... had a blood relation?
After all, An Ge’s background had always been shrouded in mystery, so this seed entirely possible.
An Muxin’s mind raced, consud by countless thoughts. She wondered if An Ge and Gu Changfeng were blood relatives, what their true identities might be.
After all, An Baoying had once told her that An Ge might actually be the Qin family’s lost child, Qin Xiaoqi.
If An Ge really was Qin Xiaoqi, then... could Gu Changfeng also be part of the Qin family?
Terrified by her bold speculation, An Muxin slumped to the floor, unable to calm herself for a long ti.
anwhile.
Gu Changfeng quickly walked out of the hospital building.
His subordinate, Qin Ming, saw him co out and imdiately approached, saying, "—
Mr. Jing, we have confird Seventh Young Lady’s whereabouts. After boarding an unlicensed van, she appeared in the last fra of traffic surveillance heading in the direction of west Suburb Shili Slope."
He paused before adding,
"West Suburb Shili Slope is near Lee Dahai’s hotown. The demolition process at Shili Slope is nearing its end, and it’s almost dark..."
The implications were clear—An Ge and Huo Huaisang were in grave danger.
Given the urgent situation, and unable to reveal the identity he had worked so hard to conceal, Gu Changfeng ordered Qin Ming:
"Send Young Master Huo an anonymous text ssage. Tell him to hurry and save them."
Qin Ming replied, "Understood."
...
anwhile, as Huo Shaoyan rushed toward the outskirts, deeply anxious, an anonymous text ssage appeared on his phone.
He opened the ssage.
[They’re in the outskirts, at Shili Slope near Lee Dahai’s hotown.]
Huo Shaoyan, focused entirely on rescuing them, didn’t have ti to investigate the source of the ssage. Instead, he promptly issued orders to his n:
"Head to Shili Slope in the outskirts imdiately—hurry..." Pausing briefly, he added, "Alert the police as well."
...
Night had fallen, accompanied by a raging downpour.
An Ge finally stepped down from an unlicensed van.
Rain stread down her face as her resolute gaze focused ahead, where all she could see were ruins and a few dilapidated houses yet to be demolished.
One of the ramshackle houses had a faint, dim light glowing inside.
Because the rain was so heavy and the distance still far, An Ge could only vaguely make out soone’s figure in the house.
Eager to find Huo Huaisang, An Ge prepared to step toward the illuminated house, but the man who brought her called out from behind.
"Wait."
An Ge hesitated briefly before turning back.
Her gaze turned cold as she looked at the barely 1.7-ter-tall but severely overweight middle-aged man in front of her.
The man had a knife scar on his face, a rough appearance, and was leering at her lecherously.
Realizing he was staring at her drenched upper body, An Ge’s voice turned frigid as she asked, "What is it?"
This middle-aged man was Lee Tiezhu, soone with life-and-death ties to Lee Dahai.
Lee Tiezhu had recently been released from prison, broke, and desperate. Lee Dahai offered him 500,000 yuan to deliver a woman to him.
Lee Tiezhu had agreed without hesitation.
After picking up An Ge at Lee Dahai’s specified location, he was stunned by her breathtaking beauty.
Although Lee Dahai had urged him on the phone to hurry up and bring the woman over, Lee Tiezhu had been sorely tempted to have her for himself. However, due to ti constraints, he hadn’t had the chance.
Now, An Ge’s rain-soaked clothing clung tightly to her graceful and alluring figure. For soone like Lee Tiezhu, who had a history as a rapist, it was impossible to resist.
Almost right after An Ge spoke, he stepped forward and grabbed hold of her wrist.
An Ge was pregnant, and she understood acutely that at monts like this, she needed to remain calm. Any rash action could harm her unborn child.
Thus, she didn’t resist and instead appeared unnervingly composed.
Lee Tiezhu noticed her lack of resistance and was overjoyed.
This made him slightly gentler with her, as he understood better than anyone that having a woman’s compliance was far more thrilling.
Only when a woman gave in willingly could she envelop him like water...
Lee Tiezhu grinned and revealed yellow, decayed teeth as he said, "Ms. An, you should know you’re dood tonight, right?"
An Ge responded in an even tone, "So what?"
Lee Tiezhu was almost unable to contain his infatuation with her deanor.
But the pouring rain and the rocky, debris-strewn ground made it inconvenient for him to sate his lust.
So, he began dragging An Ge toward the dilapidated van.
An Ge complied, following closely behind him.
Lee Tiezhu was utterly thrilled and said, "Ms. An, you’re smart. If you obediently let have my fun, I promise to ask Brother Da Hai to spare your life..."
As he spoke, Lee Tiezhu reached for the van door and pulled it open.
Just then, An Ge pretended to twist her ankle.
She feigned weakness, addressing Lee Tiezhu in a soft, delicate tone, "Brother, may I rest a mont? I think I’ve twisted my ankle."
The word "Brother" sent shivers of pleasure through Lee Tiezhu’s body.
Lee Tiezhu hurriedly asked, "You twisted your ankle? Which foot is it? Let rub it for you, little sister."
An Ge replied, "The left foot."
Blinded by lust, Lee Tiezhu used his phone light to bend down and examine her foot.
An Ge’s eyes darkened with sharp malice as she swiftly grabbed a nearby brick and smashed it against the back of Lee Tiezhu’s head.
One blow.
Lee Tiezhu slumped forward onto the ground.
Fearing he might wake up later, An Ge struck the back of his head three more tis in swift succession.
Once Lee Tiezhu was dealt with, she snatched the mobile phone from his hand, her fingers trembling as she began dialing for help...
She knew she had no choice but to call Huo Shaoyan for assistance. Only he could save her in ti.
The call quickly connected, and Huo Shaoyan’s deep, ominous voice ca through,
"Hello..."
