Chapter 142 He pushed her onto the bed

Fu Beichen ordered his men to quickly guard the exits of the wedding venue and search them one by one, but they found nothing.

He forced himself to calm down. Who would dare to kidnap someone right under his nose? He thought of several suspects: Xi Lin, Xinuo, and finally... Lu Lie.

He was startled. Could it be that he had sneaked back again? He quickly ordered his men to split into two groups: one to monitor the castle, and the other to search the entire city for Lu Lie.

Suddenly, Lin Qi had a bright idea and cautiously suggested, "President Fu, why don't we ask Mr. Zhan for help? He has a lot of men and knows the whole of Maduri. Rescuing Madam is the most important thing right now."

Fu Beichen thought for a moment, then parted his thin lips slightly, "Just tell Sheng Weiwei the news."

Indeed, given her personality, she'll definitely make Zhan Xiao search the entire city.

Moreover, he had previously discussed a plan with Zhan Xiao. Although he had not yet made a final decision, it would surely come to fruition when the time was right.

Sure enough, not long after Lin Qi told Sheng Weiwei about Gu Xingnian's disappearance, Sheng Weiwei immediately called Fu Beichen's phone.

Fu Beichen tossed the phone to Lin Qi, who gently swiped to answer.

Inside was a barrage of attacks, using all sorts of offensive language.

This is truly the eldest daughter of the Sheng family, but she seems more like a shrew venturing out of town.

Just as Lin Qi's eardrums were about to burst, the other end of the phone suddenly hung up.

Sheng Weiwei watched Zhan Xiao walk into the house, then stepped forward and hugged his waist.

The man lowered his head and kissed his forehead, his tone full of affection, "I heard the cursing before I even came in. Who made my little princess angry?"

She pressed him down onto the single sofa, then sat on his lap herself, her small hands tightly encircling his neck.

"Mr. Zhan, I would like to ask you for a favor."

Zhan Xiao's burning gaze was fixed on her as he slowly spoke, his voice laced with seduction, "As long as you can afford the price, I can help you with anything."

His large hand tightened around her waist, conveying a sense of danger, like a big bad wolf seeing a little lamb.

Sheng Weiwei slapped his hand away, instantly getting angry, "Zhan Xiao, you're going to ruin my back, get away from me."

She got up to leave, but Zhan Xiao grabbed her and pulled her back onto his lap.

"Little thing, you've got quite a temper. Shall I give you... a day off today?" He chuckled softly, stroking her little head.

"real?"

"Of course, what do you need my help with?" Zhan Xiao said, his large hand reaching inside her clothes, very restless.

Seeing that she was about to get angry again, he dared not move and quickly coaxed her, "I won't do anything, don't be nervous."

Sheng Weiwei hurriedly told Zhan Xiao about Gu Xingnian's disappearance. Zhan Xiao was silent for a few seconds, then made a phone call and ordered his men to lead a team to search for her.

Sheng Weiwei happily kissed him on the lips several times, as a reward.

Zhan Xiao gently touched her forehead and spoke softly, "Change your clothes, I'll take you to eat."

"Um!"

As dusk approached, Fu Beichen stared at the wishing tree, his eyelids twitching involuntarily, his sixth sense telling him.

The person who took her away must be Lu Lie. His fists clenched tightly, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

That's right, at this moment, Lu Lie was holding the sleeping Gu Xingnian in his arms, sitting in a low-key van, heading towards the bay in the western district.

Her cheeks were flushed, and her long eyelashes, which covered her eyelids, trembled slightly, making her look stunningly beautiful.

Lu Lie hugged her even tighter, as if he were holding a rare treasure, his forehead pressed against hers, feeling her breath, which smelled of alcohol.

Two yachts registered in Country F were moored at sea; they were the safest vessels at sea.

Fu Beichen probably never imagined that he would leave the land of Maduri, and no matter how hard he searched every corner, he would not be able to find Gu Xingnian.

Around nine o'clock, Gu Xingnian slowly woke up.

When she opened her eyes, she found herself lying in a large room that resembled a ship's cabin.

There was a slight swaying sensation beneath me.

On the ship!

She sat up abruptly, her heart pounding, and rushed to the door.

"Bang!"

The door was barely opened a crack when it was forcefully shut by the person outside.

Two bodyguards in black suits blocked her way with expressionless faces.

"Who are you? Where is this?" Gu Xingnian asked, both shocked and furious. "I want to see your master!"

"Niannian, you're awake." A voice so familiar it sent chills down her spine sounded from behind her.

Lu Lie.

He was carrying a tray with a bowl of steaming porridge on it.

Gu Xingnian's eyes suddenly darkened, like a frozen lake.

She silently retreated back into the room.

Lu Lie strode in and closed the door behind him.

“Clatter.”

The sound of the lock clicking shut made her heart skip a beat.

"Are you hungry? I asked the kitchen to make you some porridge." He spoke gently as he took the bowl out of the tray, showing great care.

"We're at sea? Where do you intend to take me?" Gu Xingnian's face was ashen, her voice filled with suppressed anger.

Lu Lie walked to the window and pulled open the heavy curtains.

"Don't worry, we're still in Maduri, not going anywhere." He turned his head, his jawline particularly clear in the dim light. "The ship is anchored near the shore."

Gu Xingnian followed his gaze and indeed saw the towering Tianshui Peak in the distance, its outline still clearly visible in the night.

My heart calmed down a little.

But this sense of stability was soon replaced by greater unease.

"Lu Lie, why did you bring me here? Let me go back." Her voice was devoid of any warmth.

He turned around, his face instantly turning cold, as if that gentleness was just a fleeting illusion for her.

"Go back? Go back where?" He scoffed, "Back to Fu Beichen's side?"

Gu Xingnian's heart sank. Just as she thought.

She took a deep breath. "Alvin is dead, the Alice Project has ended, I'm going back to France."

When Lu Lie heard the words "return to F country", a barely perceptible hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

“If you’re willing to go back to F country, I’ll go back with you tomorrow.” His voice softened again.

Gu Xingnian looked at him, her eyes as cold as poisoned ice arrows. "I will go back by myself. Lu Lie, we are no longer on the same path. From now on, we don't need to walk the same road together."

His previous actions of kidnapping his master and using him to threaten her had completely broken her heart.

She had long been utterly disappointed in him.

Lu Lie's face turned extremely ugly, as if he had been slapped hard in the face.

"Different paths?" He took a step closer, exuding a dangerous aura. "Gu Xingnian, have you forgotten who has been by your side all these years?"

"Isn't it good for you to stay by my side? Why are you so fixated on that Fu Beichen? You still want to marry him?"

When he said "marry him," he was referring to today's wedding.

Gu Xingnian, however, thought he was referring to her obsession with Fu Beichen three years ago.

"Isn't what you feel for me just an obsession?" She met his gaze without fear. "We can't be together. Let go. I don't love you."

Every word was like a small hammer, striking his heart heavily.

She pronounced his death sentence in the calmest of tones.

Hearing this crisp and decisive rejection, Lu Lie's chest heaved violently with anger, and he was momentarily at a loss for what to do.

He couldn't hit her, and he couldn't bear to scold her.

Suddenly, he reached out and grabbed her shoulders with such force that it felt like he was going to crush her bones.

He suddenly laughed, and the laughter was somewhat eerie.

"You want Fu Beichen to be with you for the rest of your life?" He released her, his tone carrying a strange certainty and sarcasm. "He and you won't last. Don't you know that now?"

His words carried a clear element of probing.

Gu Xingnian's heart skipped a beat, a little confused. "What did you say?"

Lu Lie carefully observed her expression and saw that her confusion was not feigned at all, and he understood.

What a Fu Beichen!

He truly deserves to die!

They actually kept this from her!

Did he want her to shatter completely at the last moment, or did he think there was still hope for her?

Suddenly, a glint flashed in his eyes; he realized he had overlooked a crucial point.

He abruptly changed the subject, concealing the gloom in his eyes and reverting to his gentle demeanor, as if his earlier outburst had never occurred.

"Have some porridge first, don't go hungry." He picked up the bowl of porridge, which had already cooled down a bit, and said softly, "I'll go with you to the deck for some fresh air later, the starry sky is quite nice tonight."

He took a small spoon and gently stirred the contents of the bowl, his movements patient and meticulous.

As he approached with the porridge.

Gu Xingnian subconsciously raised her hand and pushed.

"Bang--"

The white porcelain bowl shattered on the teak floor.

The off-white porridge, mixed with broken porcelain shards, splattered everywhere.

She was startled herself, not expecting to cause such a commotion.

She dared not eat anything he gave her, nor did she dare to easily believe any of his words.

Lu Lie's heart felt as if it had been pierced by tiny needles, a sharp, throbbing pain.

"Do you think I would harm you?" His voice was a little hoarse.

Gu Xingnian did not answer, but her silence was undoubtedly an admission.

"Am I really that despicable in your eyes?" His tone was filled with heartache.

She didn't answer. She didn't know why the two of them had ended up like this.

That wasn't her intention!

The last trace of warmth in Lu Lie's eyes vanished, replaced by barely suppressed anger and hurt.

He felt that his pride, patience, and four years of protection had all been shattered by her at this moment.

He was furious!

He strode over and gripped the back of her head tightly with his large hand, giving her no chance to dodge.

"What are you going to do!" Gu Xingnian was so frightened that she tried to back away.

With his other large hand, he gripped her waist like an iron clamp, pressing her tightly into his arms.

Then, he lowered his head and bit down hard on her soft lips!

"Ah!" Gu Xingnian felt a sharp pain, her lower lip was instantly cut open, and the taste of blood filled her mouth.

Yes, he bit her.

Filled with hatred and rage!

Gu Xingnian was startled and before she could react, he pushed her onto the bed.

"What are you doing! Let me go!" She struggled violently, pounding her fists on his chest. "Lu Lie, let me go!"

That's right, it's something he's wanted to do for a long time, something he's never actually done...
