Chapter 110 Liang Yizhi Arrives
Gu Yanchen was right by the door. As soon as the gunshot rang out, he took a step towards the window without thinking.
From Ji Ying's angle, all she could see was that his body trembled.
The scene immediately descended into chaos.
Gu Yanchen turned around and called out, "Chen Yuan!"
Chen Yuan, who was some distance away, understood and got into the nearest car.
Gu Yanchen steadied himself by holding onto Ji Ying's car door and took a breath.
“Go with Chen Yuan, he will take you to a safe place. Roll up the car windows.”
After saying that, without waiting for Ji Ying to ask anything, he turned his back to her and looked at Gu Yi with a ruthless smile.
Mrs. Yang panicked. "Madam, Mr. Gu seems to be injured. What should we do?"
Ji Ying didn't answer. With red eyes, she gripped the steering wheel tightly and stepped on the gas.
The car roared out of the tollbooth.
In the rearview mirror, Gu Yanchen's figure grew smaller and smaller, yet he still stood tall and straight, covering their retreat.
...
The car drove onto the winding mountain road.
Finally, we drove into a villa and stopped.
Chen Yuan stood by the car and said respectfully, "Madam, Aunt Yang, you can rest here first."
Ji Ying got out of the car, but said, "But we are going to Lan City. Aunt Yang has already scheduled her surgery."
Chen Yuan asked in surprise, "Madam, even at a time like this, are you still going to be so stubborn?"
Ji Ying didn't want to discuss grand principles with an assistant, so she looked away and asked, "How's the situation over there?"
“I haven’t been able to contact Mr. Gu yet, but Madam… if you had handed Yang’s wife over to Mr. Gu back then, this chase wouldn’t have happened today.”
Yang's wife turned around from the front of the car, still shaken, her face not yet regained its color.
"I'm so sorry, Madam. I've dragged you into this."
Ji Ying squeezed her arm as a way of comforting her, "It's not your problem, it's the Gu family that's acting strangely."
Upon hearing this, Chen Yuan's lips twitched.
Ji Ying then looked at Chen Yuan and asked coldly, "When can we leave here?"
Chen Yuan lowered his head. "Rooms have been prepared for you here. We'll talk about the rest when President Gu returns."
Ji Ying understood that they were under house arrest.
Chen Yuan added meaningfully, "Actually, even if you hadn't come with me, you wouldn't have been able to enter Lan City. You would still have been forcibly brought here. President Gu's actions are always meticulously planned."
In that urgent situation, Ji Ying decisively chose Gu Yanchen.
Because at least if I fall into his hands, I won't lose my life, and I can still deal with him.
Thinking of this, Ji Ying suddenly chuckled, "Aunt Yang is not in good health, you must take good care of her."
...
There are bodyguards in the villa, but they are all in the shadows.
Ji Ying looked around and saw that there was only one exit: the main gate.
This time, Gu Yanchen wasn't afraid of her escaping at all, and he didn't even confiscate her phone, because he knew that Aunt Yang's health couldn't withstand any more stress, and he dared not make any rash moves.
Just as Ji Ying settled into her room, Liang Yanchuan called.
"I heard there was an accident near the toll station on the outbound route in the northern suburbs, but the news was quickly suppressed. Was it you...?"
“Your car is being watched,” Ji Ying interrupted him.
There was a two-second silence on the other end, then a voice said, "Sorry, I didn't do it right again."
Ji Ying didn't blame him at all, because he used to be the same way.
Lin Yan is actually quite ordinary, but he wants to live an extraordinary life.
"Your birthday is in a few days, and your grandfather will go to sweep your grave."
“Yingying, I…”
Ji Ying interrupted him, "If you can't go back, then live well. That's how you answer to your grandfather."
After saying that, Ji Ying hung up the phone and blocked him.
Liang Yanchuan felt as if a lead weight was pressing down on his throat, making it difficult to even breathe.
As dusk approached, the Liang family's wrought-iron gate slowly opened.
The Hongqi L5 slowly drove to the parking lot.
They passed by Liang Yanchuan without stopping.
Liang Yanchuan rushed over and blocked the front of the car.
The driver slammed on the brakes, quite frightened.
Xue Qin lowered the passenger window and leaned out, saying, "Third Young Master, this is dangerous."
Liang Yanchuan walked to the window and looked at the silent man in the back seat.
"My friend was in the gunfight at the tollbooth this afternoon. She... she seems to have had an accident. Could you please ask my second uncle to help me find out where she is?"
Xue Qin raised an eyebrow and looked towards the back seat...
Ji Ying waited until late at night before a commotion arose from the villa.
She guessed that Gu Yanchen must have returned.
Sure enough, not long after, Chen Yuan came to call her.
In the study, Gu Yanchen's arm was bandaged, and he was taking medicine.
Ji Ying approached, her gaze lingering on his arm for a couple of seconds, before asking, "When can I take Aunt Yang away?"
Gu Yanshen paused in his drinking, then slowly put down the glass.
"Didn't they even ask how badly I was hurt?"
Ji Ying looked away. "Anyway, you're not dead."
Gu Yanchen was amused by her words.
Chen Yuan stepped forward and said, "President Gu just returned from the hospital. The bullet hit the same spot where he was injured in the car accident last time. The situation is very serious. If not treated properly, it may affect his future mobility. But thinking that you were here, President Gu refused the doctor's suggestion to be hospitalized and rushed back."
Ji Ying looked at Chen Yuan, her smile not reaching her eyes, "Assistant Chen has great eloquence, but he can't influence someone who has been abused time and time again."
Chen Yuan's eyelids twitched, and he looked at Gu Yanchen.
Gu Yanchen gestured for him to leave, then got up and walked towards Ji Ying.
Ji Ying resisted his approach and took two steps back, causing Gu Yanchen to stop.
“Yingying,” a hint of pain welled up in his eyes, “Am I not even as good as Aunt Yang in your heart?”
Ji Ying's gaze sharpened. "So, you're making me sign the divorce papers and withdraw the lawsuit just a delaying tactic? Are you lying to me?"
Gu Yanchen lost his confidence for a rare half-second, then laughed and said, "The trust gene I gave you is real. I didn't lie to you. I just wanted to confirm if there's still room for maneuver between us."
Ji Ying smiled coldly, "Then why don't you just ask me directly? I would tell you without reservation that no, not loving is not loving. Put away this sentimental act of yours, save it for your sister's next shield."
“Yingying,” Gu Yanchen looked down at the blood-soaked bandage, “If it weren’t for my feelings for you, do you think you could keep pushing my limits? Today at the tollbooth, I could have just taken Aunt Yang and left you to your fate…”
Ji Ying scoffed, "So, you want me to kneel down and thank President Gu for his mercy?"
A suffocating silence spread through the smoke of battle.
At that moment, Chen Yuan knocked on the door urgently.
"Mr. Gu, the Liang family has arrived."
Gu Yanchen and Ji Ying frowned at the same time.
Chen Yuan whispered, "It's that person who lives in Beijing all year round. I didn't dare to stop him at the gate, so I welcomed him into the courtyard."
Ji Ying's pupils contracted slightly: Liang Yizhi is here too!
"Sister Yang is no longer here."
Gu Yanchen saw through her thoughts, left those words behind, and walked away, creating a gust of wind.
