"Gu Liangyuan, what's wrong..." Gu Miaomiao had already woken up. She didn't expect that she fell asleep in the car, she said quietly.
"Shh." Gu Liangyuan put her down and hissed to her.
Because Gu Miaomiao had just woken up, she felt that she had no strength all over her body and her head was a little confused. She didn't know what was going on around her.
But the serious expression on Gu Liangyuan's face made her somewhat relieved. She looked around and found that they had returned to the courtyard of the small foreign building.
But the courtyard door was tightly closed, and there were four bodyguards in black suits standing there.
So familiar...
This situation was like a bucket of cold water poured on her head, making her wake up quickly.
Gu Miaomiao subconsciously held Gu Liangyuan's hand, as if this could give her a little peace of mind.
Feeling the warm touch on his fingertips, Gu Liangyuan paused, glanced at Gu Miaomiao with a complicated look, and patted the back of her hand to signal her not to be afraid.
He took the girl's hand and kicked the door open with gritted teeth.
...
A slender figure sat on the sofa in the living room of the small foreign-style building. He was wearing a black windbreaker and leather gloves on his hands. He looked lazy and dignified, with a faint smile escaping from his pursed lips. He looked out of place in such an environment.
Gu Xiuyuan lowered his eyes and stared at her, as if she was the only one in the world, and waved to her, "Come here."
Gu Miaomiao immediately grabbed Gu Liangyuan's hand and subconsciously hid behind him.
Gu Xiuyuan had a clear smile on his lips.
But the brighter Gu Xiuyuan smiled, the more frightened Gu Miaomiao felt.
She felt that her body was not in control and she was about to walk to Gu Xiuyuan, but she forgot that there was another man standing in front of her at this time, blocking him from the low pressure coming from Gu Xiuyuan.
Gu Liangyuan blocked her with his tall body and smiled at Gu Xiuyuan:
"Brother, why did you come without even saying a word, so we can prepare in advance and entertain you well."
Gu Xiuyuan didn't respond. He looked past Gu Liangyuan and landed directly on Gu Miaomiao's face.
His eyes narrowed slightly, but his voice was still very soft, as light as a feather, floating in the air, but his tone became deeper and he repeated it again:
"Miaomiao, don't forget your identity, come here."
Gu Miaomiao's face suddenly turned very ugly. She broke free from Gu Liangyuan's obstruction and slowly walked towards Gu Xiuyuan with heavy steps.
"Miaomiao! Come back!" Gu Liangyuan couldn't bear to look at Miaomiao's back, took two steps forward, and wanted to grab Miaomiao's shoulders to prevent her from moving forward. There was a trace of panic in his eyes, and he couldn't bear to say, "Don't go..."
But at the same time that he touched Miaomiao's shoulder, Gu Xiuyuan also stood up and took her arm, his fingers turned pale from the exertion.
Neither of them wants to let go.
Gu Miaomiao was caught between two people, in a dilemma.
The air was eerily quiet, filled with an atmosphere of panic and uneasiness.
Her head hurt, and everything around her was like a strong and rough rope, binding her in place and unable to move. She couldn't breathe and felt like she was about to die, as if the end of the world was coming.
"Brother, please let Miaomiao go. Aren't you already engaged?" Gu Liangyuan frowned, with a hint of confusion and doubt evident in his tone.
"I am indeed engaged." Gu Xiuyuan nodded and admitted without any hesitation, and said it again as if to emphasize, "And... my fiancée has already promised to marry me. "
When Gu Xiuyuan said this, his eyes were always staring at the girl standing between them. He kept staring, as if his eyes were fixed on her.
Gu Miaomiao felt that her body was about to fall apart, and the two eyes before and after fell on her body like blades.
Especially when he heard Gu Xiuyuan mention his fiancée, a rush of blood rushed to Gu Miaomiao's forehead. The blood vessels in her head seemed to burst, her mind went blank, and her throat was as dry as if it was about to smoke. It was completely She couldn't utter a complete sentence, and it was so congested that it became difficult for her to breathe.
She raised her head and met Gu Xiuyuan's cold gaze. Gu Xiuyuan's handsome features had a fierce aura.
And...at this time, the tenderness in those eyes was no longer there, and their eyes were full of gloom, as terrifying as the abyss.
It seemed that he was silently accusing her. She had already promised to get married, but why could she betray their promise so easily and run away?
She avoided looking at Gu Xiuyuan, and could only look down at the bare floor.
She just glanced at it and felt that her whole body was frozen and her limbs were cold.
He really... couldn't bear Gu Xiuyuan's anger.
When she thought about her possible fate after being taken back by Gu Xiuyuan, Gu Miaomiao shivered uncontrollably, and even the blood on her lips faded away.
She could only bite her lip and clenched her fists to relieve the infinite fear rising from the depths of her heart.
The sky gradually darkened, and the darkness covered the entire room like an airtight cover.
Gu Liangyuan didn't know the specific things that happened between the two people in front of him. He only knew that Gu Xiuyuan admitted that he was engaged and had a fiancée.
He found out about this from the grapevine, although Gu Xiuyuan hid it well.
In this case, Gu Liangyuan seemed to have some confidence. He narrowed his eyes slightly and said with a hint of dissatisfaction:
"Brother, isn't it enough that you have a fiancée? Are you going to compete with your brothers for women?"
Gu Xiuyuan's eyes never left Gu Miaomiao. When he was questioned, he simply sneered, which was chilling.
Gu Miaomiao did not dare to say a word, lowered her head like an ostrich, and almost buried herself in the sewer.
Despite this, he still felt Gu Xiuyuan's powerful aura.
She suddenly felt a very cold touch on her left cheek.
But she didn't dare to avoid it at all, because it was Gu Xiuyuan's hand.
Gu Xiuyuan bent his fingers slightly and touched her cheek. Seeing her trembling so much, he sighed slightly, and finally said in a softer tone:
"Miaomiao, you go up and stay for a while. Gu Liangyuan and I have something to say."
This is what Gu Miaomiao wants. She has long wanted to escape from here.
She feels that staying here for one more second can shorten her life by ten years!
The restraint on his body disappeared, and Gu Liangyuan also let go of his hand.
"Miaomiao, you go up first, we are just talking about some things, don't be afraid." Gu Liangyuan wanted to pat her shoulder to comfort her.
But a figure blocked him, silently stopping all his movements.
The night was already very dark at this time, and the biting cold wind blew in through the big hole in the door.
Gu Miaomiao gathered her coat again, wrapped her clothes tighter, and silently quickened her pace to leave here, as if these two men were some kind of savage beast.
It wasn't until she ran back to the room on the second floor that she felt the two chilling gazes behind her disappear, and her body was back under her control.
She did not close the door, but left a crack in the door, lying on the crack to look at the situation below.
From this perspective, the entire situation could not be seen clearly, only Gu Liangyuan's upper body could be seen, and Gu Xiuyuan was blocked by the staircase handrail.
"Brother..." Gu Liangyuan hadn't finished speaking——
"Bang" sound.
A fierce fist fell on his face, and Gu Xiuyuan did not restrain himself at all.
Gu Liangyuan was beaten and fell to the ground. He just reached out and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth without any other reaction. He explained:
"Brother, when did I steal from you when I was growing up? Everything good in the Gu family is reserved for you. My grades are not as good as yours, my personality is not as good as yours, and I am not as outstanding as you! I admit it!"
Gu Xiuyuan's back was facing the door of the second floor. Gu Miaomiao could only see Gu Xiuyuan silently grabbing Gu Liangyuan's collar, punching him again, and gasping:
"This punch is to wake you up. You have done so many messy things in the past, and I managed to cover them up for you. I didn't expect you to dare to come back on your own. Not only did you come back privately, but you also didn't know whether to live or die, and you were so high-profile."
Gu Liangyuan stretched out his arm to block, but he still snorted and said to himself:
"Whether it's the honor when I was a child, or the entire Gusheng Group now... I really have no intention of competing with you, but this time... Brother, you obviously already have a fiancée, can you Give me Miaomiao this time, just this time..."
Four or five bodyguards poured in from outside, restraining Gu Liangyuan and pressing him to the ground, waiting for Gu Xiuyuan's order.
Gu Liangyuan had no desire to resist at all. There were already two bruises on his face, and his eyes were full of pleading: "Just this once!"
"Didn't Miaomiao tell you? She is my fiancée." Gu Xiuyuan wiped off the blood on his fist, looked down at Gu Liangyuan on the ground, his eyes gradually became cold and said, "This punch is for my fiancée. You shouldn’t touch her.”
This sentence seemed to hit a nerve in Gu Liangyuan. He whispered, "What? Gu Miaomiao is your fiancée."
The anger in Gu Liangyuan's eyes was instantly ignited, his voice suddenly increased, and he shouted angrily: "Impossible! I don't believe what you said!"
He was lying on the ground and suddenly stood up on his knees. The bodyguard pressing him was pushed away by the great inertia.
Gu Liangyuan elbowed the nearest bodyguard in the face. The bodyguard was caught off guard and his nose bone was directly shattered. He covered his nose and fell to the ground in pain.
Gu Liangyuan's movements were quick and he eliminated all the remaining bodyguards in a few strokes.
Gu Liangyuan threw away the bodyguards and ran to the stairs and shouted to Gu Miaomiao:
"Miaomiao! Come out, how could you and Gu Xiuyuan be engaged! Come out and tell me, I will only believe it if you tell me personally!"
Gu Liangyuan seemed to be able to see Gu Miaomiao behind the door through the crack in the door, his eyes were red and he stared at her.
She was so frightened that her heart rose to her throat, and she quickly took two steps back, covering her mouth tightly, not daring to make any more noise.
The sound of "Teng Teng Teng" sounded on the stairs.
She could feel that Gu Liangyuan was rushing towards her, so she rushed to the door and locked it.
The next second——
"boom!"
A huge force hit the door.
but......
Nothing happened.
But there was a slow and rhythmic "ta-da-da" sound coming from the stairs again.
There was another eerie silence.
"..." Gu Miaomiao didn't know what was happening outside. She could only sit on the bed in the room and hug her doll.
Fortunately, she closed the door in time, otherwise she wouldn't know what terrible things were going to happen.
"Gu Liangyuan, now I only give you two ways." It was Gu Xiuyuan's voice, very close to the door.
"The first way is to go back to your foreign country. I will give you enough money and never come back again."
"The second way is for me to send you in with my own hands. You won't have to come out anymore. Just spend the rest of your life there."
There was a rustling sound outside the door, and I didn't know what the two of them were doing.
"Then why don't you just kill me! Come on, kill me!" Gu Liangyuan's voice was very forbearing and angry, sounding like it was coming from gritted teeth.
But Gu Miaomiao caught one of the very clear sounds of loading the gun very clearly.
"Do you think I don't dare?" Gu Xiuyuan said indifferently. Ever since Gu Liangyuan took Gu Miaomiao away, he had already classified Gu Liangyuan as a brother.
There was another sound of fighting, but this time it was louder and more mixed than before. It didn't look like two people fighting, but like bodyguards were coming.
The scene sounded very chaotic, and there seemed to be a muffled sound of falling to the first floor.
It was noisy like a busy city, with all kinds of sounds.
"Puff-"
A gunshot rang out.
Although the gun obviously sounded like it had a silencer, it still sounded a bit loud just across the door from her.
The door panel seemed to shake.
The nerves next to her temples were frightened, and she felt very unsure.
"Chase."
It was Gu Xiuyuan's cold voice.
There was a rush of footsteps.
After the bodyguards all went out, the building became quiet for a while, and even breathing could be heard.
"..."
For a long time, there was no sound from outside.
She fidgeted in the room.
"Dong dong dong——"
A heavy, slow knock on the door.
The knock on the door echoed in the empty room.
Gu Miaomiao didn't dare to open the door and didn't make a sound.
She was afraid that the people outside would become jealous and carry her away together.
Life is at stake.
"Dong dong dong——"
Except for the knocking on the door and her breathing, all sounds in the small foreign building disappeared.
She felt her ears hurt from the silence.
"Miaomiao, open the door, I know you are inside." The person outside said.
Gu Xiuyuan's tone was as relaxed as if he was telling her to get up for school.
But Gu Miaomiao would not really think that Gu Xiuyuan was not angry.
Just the calm before the storm.
The thing about him is that the angrier he gets, the more he behaves like nothing has happened.
