Chapter 175 Confinement
Recently, due to the approaching midterm exam, I have been fully devoted to reviewing, staying in school almost every day, and having less contact with the outside world. I have no time to take care of the company's affairs, let alone pay attention to Mr. Jiang's recent situation.
That day, as the bell rang for the end of the last subject, I breathed a sigh of relief, put on my schoolbag, took out my cell phone as usual, and sent a message to Jiang Yichen, asking him what he wanted to eat in the evening.
Just as I was expecting his reply, a familiar figure suddenly appeared in my sight and blocked my way.
I looked up and saw that it was Song Yuan whom I hadn't seen for a long time.
Her brows were furrowed, and her eyes revealed a hint of anxiety and helplessness.
She hasn't appeared in front of me for a long time since the last rumor incident.
But this time, her attitude changed drastically. She looked at me with tears in her eyes, as if she had encountered some great difficulties.
She grabbed my hand and cried, "Gu Mo, I beg you, please save my brother!"
Looking at her like this, I couldn't help but feel a little confused.
I know that the purpose of her trip is most likely related to Song Le.
But I haven't seen Song Le for a long time since the last dinner. Why did Song Yuan come to see me this time?
I tried to break free from her grip, but she held on tighter.
I sighed helplessly, pried open her fingers one by one, and asked, "What's the matter this time?"
Song Yuan's eyes flashed with a trace of panic, but then she became firm again: "My brother refused to go on a blind date no matter what, and now he has been locked up by my father. They are fighting each other, and my brother is now refusing to eat or drink. Can you think of a way to persuade my brother, just as a way to repay my brother for his kindness to you."
Hearing this, I felt helpless.
I know very well that marriage is not a joke. If Song Le doesn't like the other person, what's the point of forcing him? I thought for a moment and said helplessly: "Song Le must not want to go on a blind date because he doesn't like the other person. Even if I persuade him, it will be useless."
However, Song Yuan became emotional: "Gu Mo, you are not a human being, you have no conscience! How did my brother treat you? How did you treat my brother? And my brother listens to you the most, you can't just stand by and watch him die!"
Faced with Song Yuan's accusations and pleas, I felt mixed emotions.
I know that Song Le has indeed helped me a lot, so I can't force him to do something he doesn't like against his wishes.
There was no other way, so I could only try to persuade Song Yuan again: "Song Yuan, think about it, if your father asked you to go on a blind date with someone you didn't like, or even get married, would you agree?"
When Song Yuan heard this, her expression froze, and she was obviously stumped by my question.
I struck while the iron was hot and continued, "Since you yourself can't accept it, why do you force your brother to accept someone he doesn't like? It's the most basic principle to put yourself in their shoes and think from their perspective."
I could see that Song Yuan had listened to what I said.
I patted her shoulder and said earnestly, "Sometimes, you should also consider things from your brother's perspective. Even if your brother has a crush on me, I cannot do anything that goes against his wishes. This is not only a respect for him, but also a respect for myself."
After saying that, I was about to leave, but I didn't expect a black van to suddenly drive up from the side of the road. The door slammed open, and several burly men rushed out. They forced me into the car without saying a word, and then the car drove away.
Song Yuan stood there in a daze, watching me being taken away. Then she came to her senses, hurriedly took out her cell phone to write down the license plate number of the car, and then frantically called Jiang Yichen for help.
As for me, I was blindfolded, gagged, and my hands and feet were tied tightly.
The car was speeding in the darkness. I didn't know where it was taking me, and my heart was filled with fear and anxiety.
I don't know how far the car went before it finally stopped.
Soon, I was taken out of the car and my blindfold was roughly removed.
The sudden sunlight made me feel a little uncomfortable. I squinted my eyes slightly and tried to adapt to the light.
In front of me, Mr. Jiang was staring at me with a wry smile, his eyes full of calculation.
I knew what he wanted to do, but I didn't rush to speak. I waited quietly for him to explain his intentions.
"Hurry up and help Miss Gu untie the ropes." Mr. Jiang gave an order, and soon the bodyguards came forward and helped me untie the ropes on my wrists and ankles.
I twisted my wrist gently and looked at Mr. Jiang unhappily.
"Miss Gu, I have something I want to ask you for help with, so I have no choice but to use this method to invite you over."
Mr. Jiang looked at me with a sly smile on his face, as if he was talking about something ordinary.
I snorted coldly, looked at him with a half-smile, and said sarcastically, "Mr. Jiang's way of inviting people is really unique."
He seemed not to hear my sarcasm, but went straight to the point and said shamelessly: "I want you to convince Yichen to come back to work in the company."
I raised my eyebrows slightly and asked back, "If I remember correctly, you have already kicked him out, right? Why, now you need his help with something you can't handle?"
When Mr. Jiang was exposed by me, he was immediately furious. He stopped beating around the bush and asked fiercely, "One word, do you agree or not?"
I looked around, and the bodyguards who were watching me eagerly made me realize that my situation was not optimistic.
But I remained calm and said with a smile, "What if I don't agree? You're not going to let me go, are you?"
At this time, an old lady who was standing nearby and watching the fun came over and said kindly, "You are pestering Jiang Yichen just to ask for money, right? If that's the case, just tell me how much money you want before you help me."
My eyes turned and a plan came to my mind.
I deliberately asked for a high price, wanting to test Mr. Jiang's bottom line: "I want the entire Jiang family, is that okay?"
"You little bitch, you are really crazy. Aren't you afraid that you will have a life to spend but no life to save it?" The aunt raised her hand to hit me, but when she thought that I was still an important bargaining chip, she raised her hand high and then let it down quietly.
I smiled sarcastically.
I shrugged and said nonchalantly, "Just tell me if it's okay or not!"
I looked at the two people who were furious and smiled: "Since you can't satisfy me, then I won't cooperate."
I stood up and the bodyguard behind me took a step forward. I saw that I couldn't leave, so I just sat down.
"Since the Jiang family is so kind, I won't leave. I don't know if they will provide me with food!"
