Chapter 248 Being Hostage

next day

Gu Yihan was awakened by the sunlight reflecting through the glass.

She opened her eyes, touched her cheeks which were a little hot from the sun, sat up, glanced at the curtains that weren't drawn, and frowned.

I completely forgot to close the curtains last night.

She glanced at Hao Hao, who was sleeping soundly, gently lifted the blanket off herself, got out of bed, walked to the closet, and took out some clothes.

She looked up and saw a face gradually enlarging in the window, which startled her so much that she took a step back.

Upon discovering it was Grandma Gu, they immediately went over and drew the curtains.

I quickly got dressed and hurried outside.

"Grandma, you just scared me."

"Were you frightened?"

Grandma Gu's heart skipped a beat when she heard this.

Actually, she regretted it the moment her granddaughter drew the curtains.

He quickly explained, "I just wanted to see if Hao Hao had woken up yet."

"He's not awake yet. Hao Hao went to bed a little late last night."

"Grandma, if you need anything next time, just call me." Gu Yihan said as she walked towards the kitchen, carrying hot water to wash her face.

Grandma Gu carefully observed her granddaughter's expression and saw that she wasn't angry.

He smiled and said, "Grandma will remember."

"Grandma, what time did Lu Huailin leave this morning?"

Gu Yihan asked while washing her face with the tide.

"Xiao Lu left before dawn, saying he had something important to do," Grandma Gu said, frowning.

It was almost midnight when Lu Huailin came back last night.

She felt so sorry for him that he got up so early again today.

...

Textile factory

noon

Gu Yihan, Wang Guixiang, and Sister Min were about to go to the cafeteria for lunch when they locked the office door.

He turned around and was startled by the sudden appearance of three young members of the Revolutionary Committee.

The one leading the group was the same scarred young man who had visited the textile factory last time.

"Min Erhua, Comrade Gu Yihan has filed a formal complaint against you for speculation and profiteering. We need you to come with us to cooperate with the investigation."

She reported it?

Upon hearing this, Gu Yihan suddenly looked up, thinking that something was wrong with her ears.

He stared incredulously at the scarred-faced revolutionary committee youth in the lead and asked again, "You said I filed a formal complaint?"

The scarred young man at the head of the group looked up at her, nodded, and said, "Comrade Gu is reporting Comrade Min Erhua for reselling military ration coupons."

When Min Erhua heard about the resale of military ration coupons, she was startled. Her face turned deathly pale, as white as a sheet of paper, and her gaze fell on Gu Yihan's astonished expression.

Suddenly, he pounced on her like a leopard.

Seeing this, Gu Yihan dodged behind Sister Min and kicked her in the butt, making her fall flat on her face.

He then turned around, looked directly at the leading revolutionary committee youth, and questioned, "What evidence do you have to prove that I reported you?"

The leading revolutionary committee youth glanced at Gu Yihan and said in a deep voice, "The letter was written by you, and the handwriting has been verified."

To be on the safe side, he came to the textile factory early this morning to have Secretary Jiang compare Gu Yihan's handwriting.

"impossible."

"When did you receive the report?" Gu Yihan asked, her brows furrowed.

How could she not know whether she wrote it or not?

After Lu Huailin said that this matter was not simple, he would not report Sister Min until he had investigated it thoroughly.

Minjie stood up, ignoring her bruised wrist, and looked at Gu Yihan, who was confronting the leading Revolutionary Committee youth, with a hint of malice in her eyes.

"Is there some mistake?" Wang Guixiang asked when Gu Yihan denied it.

The leading revolutionary committee youth glanced at Sister Min, who was slowly moving towards Gu Yihan as she pulled a small knife from her pocket.

There was no verbal warning.

Instead, he continued talking to Gu Yihan to divert her attention: "There's no mistake, we've already investigated beforehand."

"The whistleblower letter was received at 8 p.m. last night."

“We checked the contents of the whistleblower letter early this morning, and the two people who were cooperating with Comrade Min Erhua in the black market have disappeared.”

"So we need her to come back with us to cooperate with the investigation."

The people in the black market have disappeared?

"Go to hell!"

Min-jie yelled and shoved Gu Yi-han, who was about to speak, to the ground, pinning her down.

He held a pencil sharpener to her neck.

With a contorted face and an excited expression, he shouted, "No proof needed, it's you!"

"It must be because of what happened to Sister Su last time, you're getting revenge on me."

"Cough, cough..."

Gu Yihan was suddenly thrown to the ground, a booming sound echoing in her head. Min Jie grabbed her neck with one hand, and she coughed twice with difficulty.

"Are you crazy?" Wang Guixiang was startled when she saw the small knife in Minjie's hand.

Minjie looked at Wang Guixiang walking towards her and shouted sharply, "If you dare to come any closer, I'll slit Gu Yihan's throat."

After saying that, he pressed his trembling hand against Gu Yihan's neck.

Seeing this, Wang Guixiang dared not move, but looked at the leading revolutionary committee youth with pleading eyes: "Please save Comrade Gu."

The scarred youth at the head glanced at Sister Min, a glint of shrewdness flashing in his eyes.

Last time, because of Gu Yihan's matter, I was severely scolded by my superiors. This time, she was hurt by her colleague, but it had nothing to do with me.

Seeing that the Revolutionary Committee members didn't make a move, Wang Guixiang gritted her teeth, turned around and ran towards Yang Changchang's office. She had to find someone to rescue Gu Yihan.

"Have you been wanting to get back at me for a while now?"

Minjie held Gu Yihan down tightly, preventing her from moving, and asked through gritted teeth.

Gu Yihan's head was feeling much better now, and she glanced at Sister Min above her.

He cautiously probed with his hands on both sides, and found that Sister Min was not paying attention.

He whispered, "Sister Min, I don't know about other things, but I know you've definitely been used."

"You're talking nonsense! Don't think I don't know you've disliked me for a long time!" Sister Min roared at Gu Yihan, trembling all over.

The hand holding the knife pressed down on Gu Yihan's neck again, leaving a bloody mark.

Gu Yihan felt a pain in her neck and didn't argue with the other person. Suddenly, she reached out and grabbed Sister Min's wrist, gathering all her strength and forcefully twisting it upwards.

Minjie suddenly felt a piercing pain in her wrist, cried out "Ah!", and subconsciously loosened her grip on the knife.

At the same time, Gu Yihan flipped over and switched places with Sister Min.

Picking up the knife, he made two sharp cuts on Minjie's collarbone, and blood gushed out instantly.

"Ah..." Min screamed in pain, shouting, "Gu Yihan, you'll die a horrible death!"

"You don't know what's wrong with me."

"I still know how you are."

Before Minjie could react, he used the knife to make three cuts on her collarbone and arm.
