Chapter 65 - 65 65 He Appeared

65: Chapter 65: He Appeared 65: Chapter 65: He Appeared Although Gu Xin had been under tremendous pressure recently, which sometimes made him lose his cool and control of his emotions,

he even unreasonably took his anger out on Su Lu, knowing full well in his heart that he was displacing his anger.

But he just couldn’t control it.

Due to pregnancy hormones being unstable and further disturbed by these comments, Chen Yaxi’s emotions became even more unstable.

He couldn’t possibly lash out at his pregnant lover.

However, Su Lu was always so gentle, restrained, and understanding, which is why Gu Xin couldn’t help himself, even though he knew he was displacing his anger.

Deep down, he felt that Su Lu, being such a good-natured person, would understand and tolerate him.

Even though it was very unreasonable.

But that didn’t mean he really wished any harm on Su Lu, so when he heard Su Lu’s scream,

Gu Xin snapped back into reality.

“Xiaolu!

Xiaolu?

What happened?!” he asked anxiously.

Then he heard the sounds of knocking and the sharp noise of breaking glass.

Gu Xin’s brow furrowed with urgency.

Su Lu’s voice lost its prior calmness and restraint, her voice trembling slightly, “You…

who are you?

What do you want?

Ah—!

Let go of me!”

Hearing the sounds from Su Lu’s end, Gu Xin also became frantic.

“How…

what happened?”

Su Lu didn’t hear Gu Xin’s voice on the other end; she was stunned by the sudden turn of events.

From a cheap-looking car that had pulled up nearby sometime before, a disheveled man emerged, wearing an inconspicuous jacket and a duck-billed cap, his chin covered in thick stubble that looked long unshaven.

His face was gaunt, with prominent cheekbones and hollow cheeks, his eyes hinted at a touch of hysteria.

He held a crowbar, swinging it repeatedly, smashing her car window, quickly shattering the glass.

His voice was hoarse, “I’ve been waiting at the door for a week or two; finally, I caught you.”

“Who…

who are you?” Su Lu tried to stay calm as she asked.

He responded, “I remember you, you are Gu Xin’s wife, right?”

He seemed agitated, “His dad is always with bodyguards, his mom always with a driver, I thought I’d never find a chance, but finally, here it is.”

Su Lu realized, this person was probably targeting Gu Xin.

And this man also saw the screen of the smartphone that Su Lu was holding mid-call; his eyes lit up, and he snatched it away.

Gu Xin had felt that this man’s voice was somewhat familiar.

Now, hearing the man speak on the phone, “Hello, Mr.

Gu?”

Gu Xin only found the voice familiar but couldn’t recall who it was, “Who are you?

What exactly do you want!”

“Mr.

Gu really forgets things easily, huh?

But of course, for someone who can easily crush others with a flick of a finger, why would you care?

In your eyes, I’m probably less than nothing!”

Gu Xin: “You are…

Zhang Yuanjun?”

“Surprised Mr.

Gu still remembers, truly flattered,” Zhang Yuanjun said with a cold laugh.

Gu Xin was utterly speechless, and if it weren’t for not wanting to agitate the man further under these circumstances, Gu Xin would have roared.

This man had clearly made a mistake himself, embezzling funds, yet how had it turned into him being ruthlessly pursued by Gu Xin?

He took a deep breath to suppress his emotions.

“Are you sick?

When have I ever been utterly ruthless to you?

It was your own mistake; I was merely acting according to the rules.”

Yet, the man asserted himself boldly.

“I don’t care!

I begged you!

But you just refused to make any allowances!

You’re so rich!

Why do you have to be so petty with me?!”

Su Lu listened from the side, her worldview completely shaken by such absurd logic…

It was unexpectedly refreshing.

Indeed, it wasn’t Gu Xin’s fault for attracting trouble; who would have thought there were such people?

“You rich people!

The richer you get, the stingier you become!

The richer you are, the more you fuss!

How would you understand the hardships of people like me?” The man grew more self-righteous, almost moving himself to tears with his words, his eyes even reddening a bit.

Su Lu: “…”

Gu Xin almost rebuked with, ‘Being poor isn’t a reason to break the law,’ but considering the man’s unstable emotions and Su Lu’s safety, he held back.

He took a deep breath and asked, “Alright, then what do you want?”

“The things that happened before, I want you to overlook them, solve them for me!

Otherwise, don’t blame me for being harsh on your wife!

Heh, she’s quite pretty too.

If something bad happens to her, it’s not a loss for me either…” The man chuckled greasily.

Su Lu furrowed her brows as the man aimed a crowbar at her neck.

Gu Xin still pondered how to negotiate with the man, prioritizing calming him down first.

Suddenly, from the other end, he heard the man’s piercing scream of agony.

“Ah—!

Ah—!”

There was also the sound of beating on a body, the dull thumps combined with his screams made it easy to imagine how brutally fists were meeting flesh.

“Spare…

spare my life!

Help!

They’re…

going to beat me to death!”

There was rustling from the phone, as if it was being passed from one hand to another.

Following that, Gu Xin heard a voice so chillingly cold it seemed to come from hell itself.

“Listen carefully.” The man’s voice was exceptionally cold.

“If you cause any trouble for Su Lu again, don’t blame me for not being nice to your woman and the child in her womb.

Try me if you don’t believe.”

This voice was accompanied by the sound of metal scraping the ground.

Gu Xin couldn’t recognize the voice of this man, but with such a cold and dominant tone, he momentarily thought it was Su Zhe.

But before Gu Xin could respond, the call was abruptly hung up.

Not only was Gu Xin caught off guard, but Su Lu was even more so.

She watched, completely stunned, as Bo Jingshen approached menacingly, pulling Zhang Yuanjun away from her car window to the side before starting to brutally beat him.

She watched as he took the crowbar and her phone from Zhang Yuanjun’s hands using only his bare hands, listened to the sharp sound of the crowbar scraping the ground as he dragged it along.

His hand held the crowbar, blood dripping down from his fingertips.

In his other hand, he held the phone, spewing threats to Gu Xin on the other end.

By the time he reached her car, he abruptly hung up and handed her the phone.

Su Lu took the phone, her mouth opening and closing, unable to speak; how could he be here?

If he hadn’t been there, the consequences would have been unimaginable.

But his presence, like a hero of unparalleled measure…

Su Lu blinked, her eyes slightly red.

Bo Jingshen remained silent, standing outside the car door, gazing down at her steadily, then reaching out to gently touch her face.

“It’s good you’re not hurt.”
