Chapter 67 My sincerity is more tempting than Gu Yanchen's chains
Just as Gu Yanshen was about to speak, Chen Yuan's phone rang.
"Assistant Chen, Director Liao has already met with Director Wu. Have you informed President Gu?"
Chen Yuan glanced at Gu Yanchen and received a signal.
"Keep an eye on things; we'll be there in forty minutes."
After saying that, Chen Yuan put down his phone and started the car.
"Ji Ying!"
Liang Yanchuan's shouts did not bring back Gu Yanchen, who had already left.
And because Gu Yanchen dismissed the waiters, there's no one to help them right now.
Liang Yanchuan took out his phone and instinctively found his father's number, but hesitated before dialing...
Liang Jian and Ji Ying tumbled down the slope, boulders and broken branches constantly hitting their bodies as they rolled.
So much so that they fell for several minutes without responding to Liang Yanchuan's calls.
Fortunately, there was an abandoned trail at the bottom of the slope, and two rows of trees grew on the side of the trail that faced the cliff, which stopped the two of them.
When Ji Ying regained consciousness, she found herself lying on Liang Jian's chest, and she quickly moved away from him.
But as soon as I move, my whole body aches.
Liang Jian wasn't much better off.
His bathrobe was open, and his body was covered in countless bloody scratches from tree branches and stones.
Ji Ying had just moved away when he woke up.
There was no lighting, but thankfully the moonlight was quite nice tonight.
"How are you?" Ji Ying asked.
Liang Jian sat up and stretched his neck. "I won't die."
"I'm sorry," Ji Ying said.
Liang Jian was stunned.
Ji Ying explained, "They might be after me."
"Do you have many enemies?" Liang Jian asked.
Ji Ying's eyes dimmed considerably. "The position of Mrs. Gu has always been a job with a knife to your throat. He married me only to take my life in exchange for someone else's safety."
So this is the real reason why she wants to divorce Gu Yanchen.
Liang Jian chuckled and mocked, "You can incite Gu Yanchen to turn his gun on me, but you can't escape his grasp. Your ability to protect my third brother is far greater than your ability to protect yourself."
"Does President Liang hope that your younger brother will be the lead actor opposite Gu Yanchen?"
Liang Jian suddenly fell silent.
Ji Ying bit her lip, grabbed a tree trunk, and slowly stood up.
"I have no special skills, but my will to live is unwavering."
A gust of wind blew, and her skirt, torn by stones and branches, fluttered wildly, making her figure appear so slender and aloof.
Something stirred in Liang Jian's heart for a moment.
During his youth, he faced internal family conflicts, and his mother was powerless to protect him. He also had to be incredibly strong to face one "man-made accident" after another.
Whenever I get hurt, I can only lick my wounds alone, and then build an even stronger wall around my heart.
He slowly stood up and wrapped his bathrobe tighter around himself.
“This road must have been closed for a long time. Hopefully, the hotel knows about this place and will send someone to find us. Now let’s choose a direction and meet up with the rescue team.”
"Won't your brother find someone to rescue you?" Ji Ying asked.
Liang Jian laughed as if he'd heard a joke. "That good-for-nothing?"
“Ms. Ji,” he said in a teasing tone, “don’t say I didn’t warn you, although he has a lawyer’s license, he has never handled a single case. If you ask him to handle your divorce case, be careful that you don’t end up not getting a divorce and losing your own money.”
Ji Ying understood the implication in his words, "So, President Liang hasn't given up on betting on me yet?"
Liang Jian took a deep breath and endured the pain in his body.
"My sincerity is more tempting than Gu Yanchen's chains, isn't it?"
But Ji Ying turned and looked away.
"I will turn his chains into molten iron myself."
Seeing that she insisted on not cooperating with him, Liang Jian chose a direction and walked away alone.
Ji Ying didn't try to be brave and followed closely behind.
Neither of them was wearing shoes, and they struggled to walk on the path covered with branches and pebbles.
After walking seven or eight meters, two people came running from the front.
Liang Jian instinctively stopped Ji Ying.
The other party saw them and stopped.
These two people are not here for rescue.
"Are you sure you don't want to cooperate?" Liang Jian asked.
Ji Ying understood that he meant that as long as she shook her head, he would not interfere in this matter today.
After thinking for two seconds, she bit her lip, turned around, and ran away.
I hadn't run more than a few steps when I heard two "ah" sounds behind me.
Turning around, he saw that the two who had been chasing him were already on the ground, and Liang Jian was panting.
"you……"
Just as Ji Ying was about to speak, lights appeared ahead on the path.
A group of well-trained people ran this way.
The one running in the lead was Liang Jian's secretary.
"Mr. Liang, the doctor is upstairs. We'll escort you up there right away."
Liang Jian regulated his breathing, "Miss Ji owes me a favor, so I'll take her there first."
Without asking any questions, the secretary immediately arranged for a stretcher to carry Ji Ying upstairs.
Once Ji Ying's figure disappeared from sight, Liang Jian's face darkened.
The secretary quickly stepped forward and whispered, "It was the Third Young Master who called me. That's how I found out that something happened here. The people above have been taken into custody without alerting anyone."
Several scratches made Liang Jian's face appear even colder and more stern.
"Ask him if he did it. If so, I want him to give me an explanation!"
The secretary nodded. "Understood."
...
Liang Jian's men took Ji Ying to the 547 Hospital and then left.
Xiao Xia rushed over and asked the doctor for a long time. Only after learning that she only had superficial injuries and a fall, and that she could be discharged after one night of observation, did she feel relieved and return to her ward.
"Why did you get yourself into this state just to see a man?"
Xiao Xia felt extremely distressed.
“It’s Gu Yanchen,” Ji Ying said.
Xiao Xia frowned. "He hit you?"
Ji Ying shook her head, "Something unexpected happened... Luckily Liang Jian was there, otherwise..."
Xiao Xia was instantly enraged, "Gu Yanchen was there? He just watched you get hurt, is he dead?!"
Ji Ying felt a lump in her throat. "He... just left again."
"Every time! Every time you're in danger, he's not there! That scumbag..."
Xiao Xia was so angry that her eyes turned red, and she wanted to bite someone.
"Just wait and see. He'll regret it when he finds out the truth!"
But for Ji Ying, it didn't matter whether he knew the truth or not, because this marriage was bound to come to an end eventually.
Seeing the lifelessness in her eyes, Xiao Xia took her hand and said, "Yingying, try to find your family. Qing Sui may not be able to hold out for much longer. You need someone to protect you."
Ji Ying frowned. "What happened?"
"The bank said they won't give us a loan anymore, the tax authorities came today, and tomorrow there's the environmental protection department, and the day after tomorrow..."
Xiao Xia paused.
“Although we are operating in compliance with regulations and laws, we are facing inspections every day, and we can’t do our normal work at all. Moreover, the bank’s withdrawal of loans at this time is tantamount to cutting off our company’s cash flow. On top of that, our customers are defaulting on their contracts… Yingying, I’m not afraid of losing Qingsui, but I’m afraid that you will lose your bargaining chip. Without family support, it will be too difficult for you to do it alone.”
Therefore, Gu Yanchen not only humiliated her in terms of humanity, but also cut off all her possible support, so that she could not escape his control and could be manipulated by him.
Ji Ying suppressed her surging emotions, "Qing Sui won't go bankrupt, and I won't be controlled by him for too long..."
She looked out the window, her eyes lurking with a vortex capable of tearing a giant ship apart.
"...It's time to prepare the second big gift."
"What amazing gift is it?" Xiao Xia's eyes lit up.
