Chapter 77 Fate Unknown

"Clang."

Perhaps due to the haste of being chased, the man carrying her twisted his ankle, causing Su Ruan to fall to the ground.

Su Ruan was thrown around in a daze, but she still reacted quickly and rolled down with the force she had used.

"Oh no, miss, she's rolled down."

"Useless fool, go after them!"

"No, the men below will catch up soon, you must run!"

“I’m not running away. I went through so much trouble to sneak in and bring this bitch out. I can’t just watch her get away. For my brother’s sake, I have to get rid of her today.”

Ignoring the man's advice, Natasha chased after Su Ruan in the direction she had fallen.

The road they chose was not the usual way up the mountain; no one had cleared it, and the snow was knee-deep.

Natasha had no intention of giving up. She desperately chased after Su Ruan, but when she saw the gap widening, she simply rolled down with her.

The mountains were covered with trees, with no open areas. Su Ruan hadn't rolled far before a tree stopped her.

Perhaps by divine intervention, the sack opened as it rolled down.

Su Ruan crawled out of the sack using both her hands and feet, looking around blankly.

Hearing Natasha's voice chasing after her, she clearly saw a tall figure following behind her.

Unable to tell which way to go, she could only run blindly in one direction.

She was kidnapped from the manor, wearing only a thin dress, making her escape extremely cumbersome.

She simply ripped the hem of her skirt, wrapped it around her arm, and ran forward using both her hands and feet.

But this was a snow-covered mountaintop, and after running only a few miles, her body began to suffer from severe hypothermia.

She collapsed into the snow, panting heavily, and threatened Natasha as she chased after her.

"Natasha, if you really kill me, Gu Jinyuan will not let you off."

Although Natasha was wearing a thick cotton coat, she was panting heavily as she approached with a cold smile.

He grabbed Su Ruan's hair forcefully, "So what? As long as you die, I don't care about my fate."

Su Ruan tried her best to stall for time, "Natasha, you are still so young, you have just turned 18, you have a very bright future ahead of you, don't be so stubborn."

"A relationship between you and Gu Jinyuan is impossible. Society will never accept it. Don't do anything foolish."

"Shut up."

Natasha seemed to have been touched on a sore spot, and she raised her hand and slapped Su Ruan twice.

"So what if you can stand openly by his side? You still become his weakness. Let me tell you, my elder brother is the invincible wolf king. He shouldn't have any weaknesses."

Do you know why he's been able to get his revenge so easily all these years? It's because of me, it's because I've been secretly helping him from behind the scenes..."

Su Ruan stared blankly at Natasha, whose face was becoming increasingly ferocious. What was she saying?

Those were all her relatives, her parents, her own brother, how could she...

No wonder everyone in the world says the Rothschild family are crazy.

She was already shocked by the fact that she thought Natasha only liked her older brother.

Unexpectedly, she secretly helped Gu Jinyuan to deal with her own biological parents and brother.

This is insane; she can't understand it at all.

But at the same time, she was also certain that Natasha would not let her go, and that she was now a stumbling block in Gu Jinyuan's path.

Natasha would even risk her life to get rid of her.

She wanted to resist, but she really didn't have the strength.

"Gu Jinyuan..."

She murmured his name, feeling sorry that she hadn't had a chance to tell him how she felt. She forgave him.

She had wanted to live a good life with him, but it was all too late...

Natasha grabbed Su Ruan's hair and dragged her step by step toward the cliff.

In the moment before she threw it down, there was a sense of relief and liberation on her face.

"Big brother, I've solved your biggest hidden danger. I hope you'll be free from any constraints from now on, able to do whatever you want, and become so powerful that everyone will tremble in fear."

Su Ruan lay painfully on the edge of the cliff, the cold wind howling against her skin, and she felt the sounds around her growing fainter and fainter.

She looks like she's going to die.

"Goodbye, Gu Jinyuan."

"Su Ruan, you can die in peace!" Natasha's face was expressionless, showing no guilt or fear at the thought of killing someone.

Just as she was about to push Su Ruan further, a shout of "Stop!" pierced the air and froze her movements.

Natasha slowly turned around and saw Gu Jinyuan leading a tall wolfhound, staring at her expressionlessly from behind.

“Natasha, if you stop now, I can pretend nothing happened.”

Natasha's face stiffened. She hadn't expected Gu Jinyuan to arrive so quickly, and she felt a moment of panic.

"Big brother, how did you catch up with us so quickly?"

Gu Jinyuan glanced at the delirious Su Ruan and said coldly.

“I put a tracking device on her, and I received the message as soon as she left the manor.”

Natasha and Su Ruan were both stunned.

"You love her that much?"

"You're such a pervert."

The two voices came from different people. Natasha stared blankly down at Su Ruan, "You said he's a pervert? Do you know that the only person in the world that your brother would protect so carefully is you? You really don't know what's good for you."

Su Ruan relaxed her hands and feet. She felt like she couldn't go on. Her dizzy head prevented her from thinking. She mumbled something on instinct.

"People from abnormal families really do think differently from ordinary people. In that case, you siblings are quite a good match."

"Su Ruan! Shut up!"

Gu Jinyuan slowly walked forward and scolded, then looked at Natasha again as he led the wolfhound.

"Release her, and I'll spare your life."

"Hehehehe..." Natasha's maniacal laughter echoed through the biting cold wind.

“If you truly love her, then I cannot let her live. Brother, you shouldn’t have love, you shouldn’t have feelings. If I can’t have her, no one else can.”

Natasha murmured to herself, gazing affectionately at Gu Jinyuan, and then, with all her might, pushed Su Ruan forward.

"ah--"

A scream.

Su Ruan only felt a dark shadow fall beside her, and she was pulled by something and hung on the cliff, swaying back and forth.

With her last bit of strength, she looked up and saw Gu Jinyuan's arm leap over the edge of the cliff, tightly gripping her hand.

His neck veins bulged, his face turned bright red, and he desperately grabbed her and pulled her upwards.

"Gu Jinyuan..."

"Shut up... I don't want to hear a single word from you."

Gu Jinyuan used all his strength to drag Su Ruan up, held her in his arms, and vigorously rubbed her arms.

"You're hypothermic. Hang in there, I'll carry you downstairs right away."

Gu Jinyuan took off his coat and wrapped it around Su Ruan. Su Ruan felt his body temperature and softly leaned into his arms, laughing.

"Should I thank you, you pervert?"

"No need, just don't run next time."

Gu Jinyuan picked her up and tried to leave, but Su Ruan's confused mind felt like she had forgotten something.

Just as the two had taken a few steps, a burly man suddenly pounced on them.

"You all killed the young lady, you should all die."

Before Su Ruan could react, she was thrown far away with a thud. She regained her senses for a moment amidst the intense pain.

I saw two big men fighting fiercely on the edge of the cliff, and they were about to wrestle to the edge of the cliff.

Her eyes were bloodshot, and she had just blurted out the word "be careful".

The two figures fell off the cliff together.

"Gu Jinyuan—" A shrill cry echoed throughout the valley, but no one answered her call.
