"No, thanks." Ji Shuyu shook her head and refused, "I'm not thirsty..."
She was very scared because she didn't know what was in it. She couldn't drink it and didn't dare to drink it.
Gu Xiu㫧 saw what she was thinking, then took a sip in front of her to prove to her that the water was fine.
"Come, drink."
He held the water he had drunk to her lips.
Ji Shuyu turned her face away.
"What? You dislike me?"
A hint of displeasure flashed across Gu Xiu's eyes.
Ji Shuyu didn't move. He pinched her cheek and forced her to look at him.
"Dislike me, huh?!"
Oh……
Feeling angry, he pinched her face hard, forced her to open her mouth, and poured the water directly into her mouth.
“Hmm—”
Cough cough——
Ji Shuyu choked, but still drank some of it. She wanted to vomit but her mouth was covered again.
She was forced to swallow the water, choking so badly that she coughed up tears, but she still struggled.
Her behavior irritated Gu Xiu㫧 a little. He threw the water bottle away, pulled her into his arms, held her face and kissed her.
Ji Shuyu opened her eyes wide in shock and tried hard to turn her face away, but she couldn't break free at all.
Gu Xiu held her tightly and stopped when his lips were about to touch hers.
Seeing the fear and disgust in her eyes, he didn't continue.
Compared to her disgust, it seemed that her fear hurt him more.
But because of this, he felt even more unbalanced and unwilling! He clearly loved her so much, but she never even looked at him.
Feeling her body tremble slightly, he loosened his hands that were pinching her, and then used a towel to wipe the corners of her mouth and the water spilled on her chest.
"Xiaoyu, you know I can't bear to hurt you, so why do you force me to be violent with you?"
His breath fell on her face, and he gently rubbed her cheeks, which were red from being pinched by him, with heartache in his eyes.
Looking at him like this, Ji Shuyu just felt scared.
"Be good." He coaxed softly, but his eyes were full of warnings. "Don't push me." He said softly, "If you don't behave next time, I don't mind feeding you with my mouth."
The water he had just drunk suddenly began to flow up, but he could only suppress the strong reaction with a sickly smile in his eyes.
Gu Xiu was satisfied with her ability to understand the current situation. He would not force her now. He would wait until she was willing.
His momentary softening attitude gave Ji Shuyu a glimmer of hope. She didn't know what was happening outside, and now she could only rely on herself...
"Brother Xiu, please don't be like this." Ji Shuyu suppressed the fear and disgust in her heart and comforted him as much as possible, "Let me go! Don't make any more mistakes."
"I'll talk to Xiu... I'll ask my father for help. We'll get you out of here and make sure nothing happens to you."
She knew that she couldn't mention Gu Xiuyuan at this time, but it was obvious that her meaning had been understood.
"But, I only want you, don't you know it!" Gu Xiu looked at her with a smile, "Ever since you were born, I only want you."
He approached and Ji Shuyu shrank back.
"Xiaoyu, are you afraid of me, huh?" Gu Xiu looked at her, seeming a little hurt. "Gu Xiuyuan is obviously more terrifying, why are you afraid of me?"
He lowered his eyes and looked at the scars on his body.
"Gu Xiuyuan is far more terrifying than you realize." Gu Xiuyuan leaned over to look at her. "Ah, perhaps you still remember Xia Zhenzhen! Didn't you witness her end with your own eyes?"
Xia Zhenzhen?
This is a very old name...
"Xia Zhenzhen, Su Yan. Ah! And Huo Yuxuan." He laughed, "Do you know how Huo Yuxuan died?"
"She was imprisoned in the most notorious prison, tortured to a point worse than death for over three thousand years. It seems her condition is terminal, and she won't live long. But there are rumors that she was frightened to death. Others say... she was torn to pieces by vicious dogs, and no complete body was found." His voice was soft and slow, like a ghost from hell. "Even so, do you think I'm more terrifying?"
Ji Shuyu's face was covered with small pimples. She felt cold and scared from the bottom of her heart...
Xiuyuan said that Huo Yuxuan was imprisoned by him during the time she disappeared, and he also said that Xia Zhenzhen's previous disappearance was also related to him.
She thought of Huo Zhengfeng's experiments and wondered if they had also been used for drug testing.
Ji Shuyu stepped back, and there was more fear in her eyes when she looked at him.
Oh……
Gu Xiu just smiled when he saw this.
"Xiao Yu, you are really unfair." He and Gu Xiuyuan have been treated differently since childhood, and so has she.
"I did this because of you! They hurt you, and I'm helping you get revenge. I said I won't allow anyone to hurt you."
"If I do the same thing, it's unforgivable, but if he does it... it's excusable?"
When mentioning Gu Xiuyuan, recalling those days, his eyes were full of madness.
But it doesn't matter, when he leaves... he will settle accounts with him and everything else!!
He didn't lose anything by sacrificing his life and the lives of those two bastards for the humiliation Gu Xiuyuan had inflicted on him...
"Come, eat something!" His voice was still soft, but the emotion in his eyes was no longer to be resisted. "Be good, or you can eat it yourself, or I will feed you in my own way."
…
It was already dawn, and the lights in the Gu family's old house were still on.
The bodyguards tried their best to prove that they saw Ji Shuyu enter the house. Gu Xiuyuan also asked people to check all the surveillance cameras nearby to confirm that they had really come back, but the surveillance did not find her leaving, and no other suspicious people or vehicles entered or left the old house.
She had checked the house inside and out, but there were no fingerprints or footprints to show that someone had come in. If someone had broken in, or even taken her away from home, there was no way they would have left no trace.
"Mr. Gu."
"Any news from the rescue team? Are the escorting police officers awake?"
"No," the bodyguard replied. "The rescue work hasn't concluded yet. Two of the escorting police officers have been confirmed dead, and the search for the rest is still ongoing."
"Surveillance footage around the accident scene is also being reviewed, and no suspicious findings have been detected so far."
Hearing these reports, Gu Xiuyuan's heart sank.
"Keep looking!" Gu Xiuyuan tried to calm himself down. "Even if I have to dig three feet into the ground, I have to find him for me."
Gu Xiuyuan checked Ji Shuyu's call records. The last call was very short, which meant that something had happened to her when she answered the phone.
He dialed that number over and over again, but he always heard the phone being turned off. Even Ji Shuyu's number couldn't be reached.
"Xiuyuan, don't worry." Qin Chuan had been busy outside all night, and worried about his brother's condition, he hurried over to take a look. "Sheng Kai and Mu Bai have sent people to look for her, and the He family has also sent people. Sister Yu'er will be fine."
Gu Xiuyuan nodded.
If it was really Gu Xiu, he wasn't afraid that he would endanger her safety, but was worried that he would do something to hurt her. He was even more afraid... that he would hide somewhere quietly and not move, which would make it even more difficult to find him.
He blamed himself for not coming back earlier, why didn't he pick her up!! He even said he would protect her well, but now he didn't even know where she was.
"Xiuyuan, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself." Qin Chuan comforted her.
They always have people with them when they go out, so who could have thought that even with such tight defenses, such an accident would still happen.
"The police are also looking for him now. I believe there will be news soon."
Gu Xiuyuan nodded and ordered people to keep calling, hoping that the call could be connected, but they never found their location.
"Just take a nap first! I'll keep an eye on this for you."
Gu Xiuyuan shook his head. How could he sleep at this time?
Qin Chuan sighed lightly, then went to inquire about the progress of the matter, but the answer from the other side was still no clue.
The police have checked all the cars that passed by during the time of the incident and confirmed that there were no suspicious people. But how could a living person just disappear out of thin air?
Gu Xiuyuan lit a cigarette and took a deep puff.
