Chapter 24 Feng Mingzhou, let me go, let's break up, I wish you and Lin Jinyun the best
The airport hall was crowded with people. Gu Manman and Su Yu were dragging their suitcases, mixing among the hurried passengers.
"I'm finally leaving." Su Yu held Gu Manman's hand tightly, "It's a new life from now on."
Gu Manman forced a smile, but she felt like a stone was pressing on her heart.
Escaping from this city means saying goodbye to the past completely.
She took a deep breath and told herself not to look back.
Just then, there was a commotion outside the airport.
Several long black sedans were parked in a row at the entrance.
The car doors opened at the same time, and a dozen men in black suits got out in unison with quick movements.
The crowd dispersed to both sides like a receding tide, leaving a passage.
"What's going on? Are we filming a movie?" someone whispered.
Gu Manman's hand suddenly trembled, and Su Yu immediately pulled her behind her like a lioness protecting her cub.
A tall man separated from the crowd and walked towards them.
Two meters away, the man stopped and bowed slightly.
"Miss Gu," he said in a low voice, but he didn't dare to look directly at Gu Manman, "I am Zhou Gang, the security director of Feng Group. President Feng wants you to come with us."
Su Yu immediately stood in front of Gu Manman: "Dream on! What right do you have to stop me?"
Gu Manman just stared at the group of men in black.
She knew Feng Mingzhou's methods too well.
If she refused, these people would follow her closely and might even carry her into the car.
In Feng Mingzhou's world, there is no option of "no".
A bitterness welled up in her chest.
Five years have passed, and she is still the one who has no choice.
"I'll go with you."
"Let my friend go." Gu Manman said firmly.
"Manman!" Su Yu grabbed her arm, her eyes full of disbelief, "Are you crazy? Don't go back to see that scumbag!"
Gu Manman turned to Su Yu and patted her hand gently: "It's okay. You go first, I'll come to you after I finish dealing with things here."
"Absolutely not!" Su Yu glared at the man in black.
Zhou Gang made a gesture and two men in black came forward to take Gu Manman's luggage.
"Ms. Gu, please come this way." Zhou Gang made a gesture of invitation and spoke respectfully.
The men in black formed a protective circle around Gu Manman, and she was surrounded and walked towards the exit.
A stretched Lincoln stopped right in front of her, and Zhou Gang stepped forward and opened the door for her.
Gu Manman hesitated for a second, then turned around and took one last look at the airport lobby.
Su Yu stood behind the glass door, her face full of worry.

The black cars stretched out in a long line, passing through the bustling area of the city and heading towards the western suburbs.
It was getting dark, and the afterglow of the setting sun shone on the car window, illuminating Gu Manman's haggard face.
"How long will it take?"
The driver glanced at her in the rearview mirror and said, "We'll be there soon, Miss Gu."
The car drove into a tree-lined avenue. The plane trees on both sides were tall and straight, with their crowns intertwined, forming a natural barrier.
Turning a corner, a magnificent villa comes into view.
There were at least twenty bodyguards in black suits surrounding the villa. They stood straight with expressionless faces.
"Ms. Gu, please come this way." Zhou Gang walked to her side and bowed slightly.
The other bodyguards immediately lined up in two rows, forming a human-shaped passage, and bowed in unison: "Hello, Miss Gu."
Gu Manman didn't say anything, but just pursed her lips.
In the living room, several maids were busy. When they saw Gu Manman come in, they all stopped their work and stood in a row respectfully.
"Ms. Gu, welcome home."
A man in his fifties walked down the stairs. He was wearing a neat black suit, walking gracefully and with a solemn expression.
"I'm your butler, Xu An. Mr. Feng specifically asked me to take care of all your needs."
Gu Manman looked around. Everything here was strange and cold.
The towering ceilings, the sparkling crystal chandeliers, the priceless paintings, each one silently demonstrates the owner's identity and status.
"Where is Feng Mingzhou?" she asked bluntly, her voice calmer than she had imagined.
A hint of hesitation flashed across Butler Xu's face.
"I want to see Feng Mingzhou, now."
Butler Xu looked at her awkwardly: "Miss Gu, Mr. Feng does have important matters to attend to, but he promised that he would be back tonight. Before that, please rest first, you must be tired on the way."
The maids around lowered their heads and the air froze instantly.
Butler Xu's expression remained unchanged. He winked at the maid next to him and said, "Take Miss Gu to her room."
She hesitated for a moment, then slowly walked towards the master bedroom. Pushing open the heavy wooden door, she saw that the room had a lot more things than when she last came.
The originally simple modern-style bedroom now has a bit more life atmosphere - there is a warm orange table lamp on the bedside table, several watercolor paintings hang on the wall, and small green plants are placed on the windowsill.
What shocked her most was that the cat, who looked very much like Snowball, was curled up lazily on the bed.
The cat raised its head and looked straight at her with its sapphire eyes, the same expression as Snowball.
The white cat hopped off the bed and swirled around her ankles, its tail brushing her calves. It was a move so much like Snowball.
Gu Manman squatted down and stroked the cat's head. The white cat purred contentedly and closed its eyes, enjoying her touch.
"You're not Snowball," she whispered, "but you look a lot like it."
She stood up and walked to the window. She stood there for a long time, watching the sky change from orange to dark blue and finally to pitch black.
The white cat stayed by her side quietly the whole time, occasionally rubbing her legs gently.
Time passed by minute by minute, and the clock hand pointed to ten o'clock. She refused the dinner sent by the housekeeper and only drank some warm water.
The door was pushed open, and Feng Mingzhou's tall figure appeared at the door. He was still in a well-dressed suit, but his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were bloodshot with fatigue.
"I heard from the housekeeper that you haven't had dinner yet. Can I cook you some tomato beef noodles?" He unbuttoned his cuffs and rolled up his shirt cuffs to his forearms.
"Feng Mingzhou, what on earth do you want to do? You mobilized a large force to kidnap me back from the airport, just to cook a bowl of noodles?"
She took a deep breath and suppressed the emotions surging in her chest: "You are about to get married, can't you even break up decently?"
"Can't we just part ways amicably?"
"Feng Mingzhou, let me go. Let's break up. I wish you and Lin Jinyun all the best."
Feng Mingzhou's face suddenly darkened, his eyes as sharp as knives.
He took two steps at a time and walked towards her, his tall body almost casting a shadow over her.
His fingers suddenly pinched her chin, forcing her to lift her face and look directly at him.
"Manman, don't say such things. I can't bear to hear them coming out of your mouth." His voice was low and dangerous, and he almost gritted his teeth as he spoke every word.
Gu Manman felt a pain in her jaw, but did not back down.
Feng Mingzhou's strength was so great that she was forced to raise her face and look into his cold eyes.
His other hand suddenly grabbed her wrist with such force that she couldn't break free.
He pulled her towards him, and the distance between them was so close that they could almost feel each other's breath.
"I told you, you are mine."
"I am not your property, you can't keep me locked away forever."
"Ming Zhou..." She tried to speak again.
"That's enough!" he interrupted sharply.
"That's enough for this topic. You're not going anywhere."
