Gu Yan knelt on the ground and begged, âPlease let me go. Iâve done everything youâve asked me to do. Iâm no longer of any use to you. Please let me go.â
I could feel her fear even though I was only a few steps away from Gu Yan. Who was this person? How could he be so powerful? Could It be Tong Zhuo?
It wasnât necessary. If it was Tong Zhuo, why would he do such a sneaky thing? Tong Zhuo was someone who cared about appearances. He definitely wouldnât fight alone. Tong Zhuo didnât dare to fight alone. No one cared more about the importance of survival than him. Therefore, this person was definitely not Tong Zhuo.
A strange voice let out a strange laugh. âYou want to leave? Where are you going? Where do you want to go?â
Gu Yan stopped talking.
The voice continued, âYouâre quite capable. You can even escape, but the world is so big. Havenât you ever thought that thereâs no place for you to stay? Where can you go? As a dignified miss of the Gu family, do you have any ability to settle down and live?â
Gu Yan did not speak.
The person took two steps toward Gu Yan, and he continued to ask, âGu Yan, Iâm quite curious. Tell me, where are you going? How are you going? What are you going to do for the rest of your life? As far as I know, you, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, donât have much money. So, who is supporting you? And who is supporting you for the rest of your life? Could it be that youâve hooked up with another man?â
Gu Yan clenched his teeth and did not say a word.
The man took another two steps closer. âTell me. Iâm very interested. Iâm willing to listen to gossip. Iâm extremely willing! Which rich family did you hook up with? Or did you find a rich man? A nouveau riche? Tell me. Iâm very interested.â
The manâs voice was very unpleasant, a little like using foam to rub against the glass. It was harsh and noisy, but it could not hide the contempt and disdain in his tone.
Gu Yan still did not speak.
The temperature of the air felt cold, and the man seemed to have come to Gu Yanâs side. Gu Yan let out a painful cry.
âDidnât you hear me? Answer me! Where are you going? Who are you going with? Where did you get the money? What does he do?â The manâs voice became vicious and even more unpleasant.
Gu Yanâs throat seemed to be stuck. She made a hissing sound, and her hands were flailing.
After a while, the man let go of her. Gu Yan was panting heavily.
âIâll tell you, Iâll tell youâ¦â Gu Yan said anxiously as if she was afraid that the man would attack her again.
Gu Yan coughed twice. She took a deep breath and said, âItâs a small boss who I know. He said that he wanted to take me to live in Africa. He has a wife in his hometown and canât get a divorce. Heâs afraid of his wife, so he wants to take me far away.â
Gu Yan lied. I didnât expect that.
That person seemed to be thinking about Gu Yanâs words.
Gu Yan quickly said, âWe met by chance. I drove and crashed into his car. We got to know each other just like that. After a while, we got to know each other. Everything I said is true. Iâm not lying!â
Gu Yan hurriedly confessed.
That person sneered. âYou didnât want to be the miss of the Gu family, but you want to be someone elseâs mistress? Are you crazy?â
The man raised his hand and gave Gu Yan a slap.
Gu Yan cried. âI have no choice. Rather than being controlled by my family, itâs better for me to find a way out for myself. People like me are not cared for by my family, and my in-laws donât like me. I donât have a future for the rest of my life. If I donât take the chance to be free now, when Iâm old and decrepit, I wonât even have such a chance.â
