Chapter 512 - The Woman Who Ran Away Is Inside

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The guards said that they searched all around the area but couldn’t find her.

They also already expanded their search area and were still searching.

However, this side was at the edge of the country and there was not much surveillance around. Whoever left this place would really be difficult to find.

To make things worse, Lu Beichen realized from inside the room that Gu Jingyan didn’t take her wallet or phone. She didn’t have any credit card or cash on her. Where was she going with absolutely nothing on her...

Lu Beichen then started to panic. He went outside and called for people to find her.

Lin Che was also very worried. She also didn’t dare to disturb Gu Jingze when she saw that he wasn’t talking. She wanted to let him have his peace and quiet and think of what to do.

After an hour, she was still nowhere to be found.

Gu Jingze pulled Lu Beichen by his shirt collar.

“If anything happens to Jingyan...”

“I know. I won’t let anything happen to her,” Lu Beichen pried Gu Jingze’s hands away and strode out.

Gu Jingze went after him.

“It better be that way!”

Watching the two men fight over Gu Jingyan, Lin Che didn’t know what to say behind them. All the guards were already activated because of Gu Jingyan. When Lin Che went out, she saw that the sky was already starting to light up. The manor seemed so quiet. She didn’t know what to do, so she decided to join in the search too.

However, it was only after searching one round outside when she realized that she had rushed out and didn’t take any of her belongings either.

Actually, she couldn’t help and be useful, but she didn’t want to wait at home while everyone was panicking. She wanted to come out for a breath of fresh air. In the end, she walked one round and realized she had forgotten her stuff.

Just then, some people saw Lin Che.

They looked at her and walked towards her one by one. Lin Che suddenly had a bad feeling.

“Hey, Miss, how come you’re alone? Where did you come from?”

Lin Che couldn’t understand their foreign language. She could only say, “I’m sorry, I don’t know you guys. I’m heading back now. My husband is waiting for her.”

Naturally, they couldn’t understand what she was saying either. These people seemed to have returned from drinking. They couldn’t care less and grabbed her, “Come come, let’s continue drinking. Miss, you’re such a pretty lady. How can you not drink with us?”

“Let go! Let go! Let go of me...” Lin Che yelled, but she was only one girl and she couldn’t fight against these men.

Inside the manor.

Lu Beichen did not expect Gu Jingyan to just leave and disappear without taking anything with her.

Lu Beichen sat there and waited for updates.

Because of the time difference, it was day time on the other side. Thus, Fu Chenxi called and said that there was some trouble at her apartment.

He was the one who found the apartment for her, so he had a few words with her.

Just like that, he quarreled with Gu Jingyan.

For the past few days, the pair originally got along quite well while on their work trip here. Although they would bicker as they usually did, it was mostly about work and not their personal lives. However, today...

Just then, the Lu family’s search party returned.

“First Young Master, Young Master Gu’s search party said that they already found her.”

“Found her? I’ll go see her.”

“But Young Madam doesn’t want to come back.”

Lu Beichen heard this the moment he got up.

He clenched his fists tightly.

Then, he continued to grab his coat.

“Where is she?”

“She met someone along the way who probably flirted with her. Young Madam left with that person in her fit of anger. He seemed to be a local ruffian selling lavender essential oils and wines. He is a very famous gangster in this area.”

Lu Beichen heard this and his face was already getting darker and darker.

This Gu Jingyan.

She left with a gangster and was not coming back?

Lu Beichen simply said, “Take me there.”

He just wanted to see which cellar the gangster dared to take his wife.

—

Gu Jingyan was resting well inside.

Gu Jingze looked at her outside.

He took a deep breath and said, “Jingyan, stop kicking a fuss. Come back with me. It’s dangerous here.”

“Brother, there is danger everywhere. It is even more dangerous at home. My husband doesn’t like me and my status can get me killed anytime. I always thought that I could lead a very simple life, but it’s only getting more complicated. I don’t want to go back.”

“You...”

Hearing Gu Jingyan’s voice, he also knew that she just had alcohol. That was why she talked so stubbornly and waveringly.

Just then, someone behind whispered, “Lu Beichen is coming. He’s on the way and will probably be here in ten minutes.”

Gu Jingze looked inside.

He stared for a while and then waved his hand. “Let’s go.”

“Well... Miss...”

“It’s their personal affair. Let them settle it themselves. If he can’t coax his wife to go back with him... he’s not worthy to be Jingyan’s husband.”

Alright...

What he said was right. Since Lu Beichen was coming, Miss should also be fine.

One row of people left and another row of people came in.

In the room, Gu Jingyan was drinking with that local ruffian.

The local ruffian was called Bernard. In all his years here, he had met many beautiful women but never as beautiful as this woman. Although she was of the yellow-skinned race, her skin was even fairer than a Caucasian’s. Furthermore, her body looked as smooth as silk. When she walked on the streets, she really looked like a saint from an oil painting.

Thus, he went straight up to her and flirted with her. Little did he expect her to really say that she wanted to have a drink.

Thus, he naturally brought her here.

Once they started drinking, he then realized that she could really drink. She had already drunk quite a lot while he himself was already feeling buzzed.

The more he looked at this woman, the more beautiful he found her.

“Hey, gorgeous, drink some more.”

She replied, “But of course. Go get me more wine.” She simply kicked the man.

No woman had ever dared to do that to him, but he was also so stunned by her that he was willing.

He quickly went and poured more wine.

Meanwhile.

Lu Beichen finally arrived.

This manor looked much smaller than the one Gu Jingze was staying at. Gu Jingyan was in the vineyard. From a distance, he could see her lying there and enjoying her wine. Meanwhile, that local ruffian gangster was serving her diligently like a queen.

This Gu Jingyan...

She was really brazen!

“Gu Jingyan, come out here!” Lu Beichen rolled up his sleeves and was ready to fight. He stood at the door as his face flushed red. He looked as if he was going to burst.

This Gu Jingyan who only knew how to attract bees and butterflies really must have had a death wish. She ran away from home and then went to unwind with some stinky foreign man.

Bernard heard him, walked out, and looked at Lu Beichen. “Who are you?”

“The woman inside is my wife. You’re asking me who I am? I’ll tell you. You better open this door!”

“Ha, how can she be your wife? If it’s true, then you’re not treating her well. Such a pretty woman in your hands would be a waste. Just give her to me.”

“You...”
