Inside the Gu Family Villa

Gu Lanqing, propped up by her arm on the ground, originally wore a pure white shirt which was now stained with blood. A pale face was flushed with red.

She was burning all over, and it felt as though thousands of ants were crawling deep within her bones.

She had been drugged by her own uncle.

Gu Mingfeng's eyes flashed with a cold light, looking at Gu Lanqing who was trying to get up, and said, "You've offended the Huo family. If you climb into Huo Yan's bed tonight, you can avoid implicating the Gu family."

Standing next to Gu Mingfeng, Li Chunyan hypocritically comforted, "Qingqing, don't blame me and your uncle. Plus, we're doing this for your own good.

Huo Yan tops the list of the wealthy. His accumulated wealth is incomparable to the whole Huo family.

Huo Yan is handsome, and even the popular stars can't compare to him. Being his woman, you're not at a loss."

"Shut your mouth! Huo Yan is Zichen's cousin!" Gu Lanqing stood up, her eyes a bloody red, much like a little beast cornered.

The bloodstains on her shirt were Zichen's.

"Huo Zichen has become a vegetable now! How could a vegetable become the heir to the Huo family? The reason I raised you is so that you could establish a connection with the Huo family," Gu Mingfeng roared.

Vegetable...

The term suddenly became like three poisonous snakes, tightly coiling around her heart and sinking their teeth in hard.

Gu Lanqing felt as if she was once again trapped inside that narrow, misshapen carriage from three days ago.

She was held under Zichen, whose handsome face had turned abnormally gray due to excessive blood loss.

He cradled her face, his eyes almost disintegrating with guilt: "Qingqing, I'm sorry. I promised to stay with you for a lifetime, but I can only accompany you up to here. Afterward, take care of yourself."

That fool...

In his last moment of life, he was still apologizing to her, sorry for not being able to accompany her to old age.

The face of Zichen appeared before her eyes, his gaze such gentle...

Gu Lanqing chuckled gently, her face flushed, enchantingly beautiful: "I'd rather die than sleep with Huo Yan."

After saying that, she shattered the goblet that had rolled to her feet with force. The sharp edge was heading towards her carotid artery.

"No!" Gu Mingfeng's face turned pale.

Just as the shard of glass was about to pierce Gu Lanqing's neck, the bodyguard arrived in time, knocking Gu Lanqing unconscious.

Li Chunyan looked at Gu Mingfeng's pale face: "Mingfeng, don't worry, I came prepared. I won't let this little bitch seek death so easily."

Gu Mingfeng was too weak to even muster up the strength as he waved his hand, "I trust you with this."

He turned to walk upstairs, "Clean her up and make her look presentable. Take her to the Emperor's Hotel."

...

Under the night, the car moved at a steady speed.

Li Chunyan glanced at the still unconscious Gu Lanqing. The street light shone through the car window, falling on her face.

Her features were exquisite and beautiful. The pale skin was dusted with a flush. Her small mouth was slightly open, letting out a seductive breath.

Even though she had fallen into a coma, the effects of the drugs were still clearly present in her system.

Li Chunyan chuckled slightly, "She really is a beauty in the making. It wasn't a waste for Mingfeng and I to take care of her for more than ten years."

Just as she finished speaking, a black commercial vehicle was heading straight towards them.

"Ahhh!" Li Chunyan screamed loudly.

The driver urgently slammed on the brakes, his back drenched in cold sweat—if he hadn't stepped on the brakes in time, a collision would have been inevitable, leading to catastrophic damage and potential fatalities!

Li Chunyan was still shocked when the car door was suddenly opened.

A pair of slender arms embraced Gu Lanqing, disregarding Li Chunyan's presence and decisively lifted Gu Lanqing from the car.

Li Chunyan opened her mouth to say something, but when she saw the tall men that surrounded the car, she couldn't utter a word.

As she helplessly watched the man carry Gu Lanqing into the commercial vehicle and drive away.

The vehicle didn't even have a license plate.
