Yu Sheng picked up her phone and opened her WeChat chat with Shang Yan.

She was stunned when she saw the messages Shang Yan sent.

Shang Yan: [Where are you?]

Shang Yan: [Reply immediately upon seeing this message!]

Shang Yan: [Who gave you permission to run out without saying a word?]

Shang Yan: [Why aren't you replying to my messages?]

Shang Yan: [Yu Sheng...]

Shang Yan: [Don't do anything foolish, think of your brother!]

Yu Sheng frowned as she looked at the last text message.

The way he spoke made it sound like she was about to commit suicide.

Just as Yu Sheng was hesitating about how to message Shang Yan, Gu Ye returned.

She didn't ask him what he had told the police, and he didn't say either, only saying, "It's still dark, you should get some more sleep!"

Yu Sheng didn't answer, and lay down with her back to him.

She had been freezing in the snow for several hours, which took a toll on her, and she fell asleep soon after.

Gu, who was lying on the sofa, heard her even breathing. He tiptoed over to her, called her name twice, and when she didn't respond, he turned and drove off down the main road.

Twenty minutes later, the car stopped in front of an upscale apartment building.

He got out of the car, took the elevator to a door, and frantically pressed the doorbell.

A woman's wary question came through the urgent doorbell ringing: "Who is it?"

"I?"

A woman's uncertain voice: "Gu Ye?"

"Um!"

As he answered, the door opened.

A woman wearing a purple silk sundress came into his view.

The woman looked at him with a mixture of surprise and delight: "How come you... ah..."

Before the woman could finish speaking, he grabbed her neck tightly!
