Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Gu Mei was hurriedly led away by Gu Qingcheng.

With a knife pressed against her neck, her legs had gone weak with fear.

“Gu Qingcheng, slow down…” she said nervously and fearfully, “The knife, the knife, take your knife away, you’ll kill me…”

Chu He, following behind Gu Qingcheng, listened to Gu Mei’s words with her heart pounding in terror.

“Be careful with the knife, don’t hurt Gu Mei,” she said frantically, looking at

Gu Qingcheng and desperately trying to find an opportunity to knock out Gu Qingcheng and save her daughter, “Gu Qingcheng, let Gu Mei go, whatever you want can be discussed…”

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes were sharply focused on a van in front of her.

She gritted her teeth and said, “No!”

It wasn’t this rundown delivery van!

The car that the man in the blue suit had started was blocked by this van. Even though she had quickly reached the door, it was useless. The person hiding behind Gu Mei obviously knew she was taking Gu Mei hostage and was therefore so hastily fleeing.

Damn it!

She was still a step too late, and that step was exactly where Chu He had blocked her path.

“What do you mean ‘no!?” Chu He, watching the knife in Gu Qingcheng’s hand, said in a panic, “Be careful with the knife, don’t hurt Xiao Mei, don’t hurt her.”

“Sister, my dear sister, knives have no eyes, don’t hurt me, don’t…” Gu Mei pleaded in terror, hoping Gu Qingcheng would spare her, “I know I was wrong, please let me go. Mom, save me, save me…”

Gu Qingcheng’s eyes coldly stared at the broken van in front of her, and she glanced at the frightened Gu Mei.

She wasn’t surprised that Gu Mei, after being tormented by her for so long, still kept her mouth shut. After all, Gu Mei had no one to rely on. Now someone was helping Gu Mei, and she would rather die than reveal the person behind the scenes.

“Chu He,” she turned to Chu He, “You’re a smart woman. The only way for me to let your daughter go is for you to confess who is helping the two of you.” Chu He looked at Gu Qingcheng in shock.

She couldn’t say, and it was impossible to say, but seeing the knife on Gu Mei’s neck, she was also afraid that Gu Qingcheng would kill Gu Mei.

Gu Qingcheng, the shrewish and despicable woman, was capable of anything.

Chu He was utterly confused and didn’t know what to do.

She had thought that by taking responsibility for kidnapping Gu Qingcheng, she didn’t expect Gu Qingcheng to think so deeply.

With Gu Mei like this, she didn’t believe Gu Mei would reveal Qi Shaoze’s involvement. So when Gu Qingcheng had hurriedly chased after the back door, she must have sensed someone else was present, but Gu Qingcheng certainly couldn’t have guessed it was Qi Shaoze.

Gu Qingcheng looked at Chu He’s complex expression, knowing that Chu He was struggling.

She didn’t care about Chu He’s struggle. After all, Gu Mei’s life was in her hands. If Chu He didn’t speak up, this knife wouldn’t just kill Gu Mei. Just a wound from this rusty knife would be enough to infect Gu Mei with tetanus, torturing her half to death.

“Mom, save me…” Gu Mei cried out in terror, “Mom… Mom, you can’t give up on me…”

“It’s simple for your mother not to give up on you,” Gu Qingcheng slightly pressed the knife, her voice icy and implicating, “Confess who is helping you, and I’ll let you and your mother go.”

Gu Mei, who had been wailing, suddenly stopped crying and looked helplessly at her mother, Chu He.

Chu He, under Gu Qingcheng’s watch, dared not give Gu Mei any hint with her eyes to keep silent.

But seeing Gu Mei’s expression, she knew they couldn’t reveal Qi Shaoze’s name, so she had an idea.

“Qingcheng, I have nothing to confess to you,” she cautiously said to Gu

Qingcheng, “Because the person who kidnapped you was me. I knew Jiang Cheng’s Lu Chi was protecting you, so I spent money to bring these bodyguards from abroad. On one hand, they were to protect me and Xiao Mei, and on the other hand, after kidnapping you, they could deal with you and prevent your escape.”

If Gu Qingcheng hadn’t seen with her own eyes that the man in the blue suit who left here was obviously a man, she would have believed Chu He’s words.

Because what Chu He said was perfect, even Gu Qingcheng’s assumption that Gu Mei had a powerful backer because of the foreign-faced bodyguards was perfectly answered by Chu He without any slip.

Chu He stared unblinkingly at Gu Qingcheng, trying to observe any changes in her expression.

But after she finished speaking, Gu Qingcheng’s expression remained cold, her beautiful face showing no hint of her thoughts, leaving Chu He unable to decipher what Gu Qingcheng was thinking.

She steadied her mind and said to Gu Qingcheng, “Qingcheng, please believe me, it was me who ordered your kidnapping. The debt is owed by me. Come at me, let Xiao Mei go, you can stab me a few times or even kill me, just don’t hurt

Xiao Mei, I beg you.”

Gu Mei’s eyes widened as she watched her mother, humble as dust, pleading with Gu Qingcheng.

She couldn’t believe that Chu He, who had always abandoned her, was willing to sacrifice her life to protect her today.

Suddenly, the fear of Gu Qingcheng in her heart was replaced by strength, and she was more worried about Gu Qingcheng hurting Chu He.

“Sister, dear sister, don’t hurt my mom,” she pleaded with Gu Qingcheng, “Stab me a few times as revenge for kidnapping you, you…”

“Shut up!” Gu Qingcheng shouted sharply, “Stop lying, both of you. Who was the man who just left? Who helped you kidnap me?”

Gu Mei fell silent, her eyes complex and questioning as she looked at Chu He.

She had endured Gu Qingcheng’s torment without daring to mention Qi Shaoze’s name.

Because she knew she couldn’t say it. Once she revealed Qi Shaoze’s existence, he would be of no use to her.

She hadn’t expected Gu Qingcheng to be so stubborn in asking who was helping her.

Even though both she and Chu He took responsibility for the kidnapping, Gu Qingcheng didn’t believe them, leaving her with no options but to hope that Chu He could deceive Gu Qingcheng.

Chu He saw Gu Mei’s gaze and looked straight at Gu Qingcheng, saying, “What are you talking about? A man? A man who left?”

She then deliberately looked around, where Qi Shaoze’s bodyguards and hitmen from abroad were vigilantly watching Gu Qingcheng, seemingly looking for an opportunity to rescue Gu Mei from her.

“These people were all hired by me,” she said, bringing her gaze back from the surroundings to Gu Qingcheng, “Which man are you looking for? These men are all here, who do you want? Him? Him? Him? Or him?”

Gu Qingcheng, watching Chu He’s pretentious behavior, was instantly filled with rage.

“I gave you a chance, but you chose not to take it!” she glared at Chu He, “Since you like to lie and play me for a fool, right? Then don’t regret it!”

With that, she forcefully pressed the knife, and immediately, fresh red blood seeped out of Gu Mei’s neck.

“Ah!!!” Chu He screamed in horror, “Gu Qingcheng, you maniac… don’t….”
