Gu Sinian cautiously walked to the basement, but still couldn't find anyone, and felt very depressed.
No, that's not either.
No, not at all.
All the artifacts in the basement have disappeared.
We were a step too late after all.
The newly built museum has a basement. The artifacts were part of a project he led that was completed, but those artifacts are no longer there.
Where did Qiao Xiyan get the information that the newly built museum has a basement containing a large number of cultural relics?
Only the brothers who were on the mission knew about this; no one else could possibly know, especially since he had signed a confidentiality agreement. How did they get this information?
It's impossible for the Qiao family to know about such a secret mission. Even if they did know that there were so many cultural relics underground in the newly built museum, they would never have revealed the information to Qiao Xiyan.
Where exactly did things go wrong, and why are they getting so out of control?
Did one of their brothers betray them during their mission?
Absolutely impossible. We're brothers who've been through thick and thin together, how could anything go wrong?
The news must have been leaked somewhere else.
Seeing that all the cultural relics in the basement had been moved, Gu Sinian rushed upstairs.
Beijing Wharf.
All the artifacts have been loaded onto the ship.
Su Ying was forced onto the ship, her hands were tied behind her back, and she was pushed towards the dock.
"Gu Sinian, Gu Sinian, was this cat-and-scratch game fun?"
Su Ying glared at Qiao Xiyan with resentment in her eyes, "He will come to save me."
"Keep dreaming. After spending some time in jail, I'm not as stupid as I used to be. I've learned to be cunning now."
"Especially a self-important man like Gu Sinian, he always seems to be able to guess where you are, but he always ends up missing you. I feel happy just thinking about it."
"I've got your husband completely wrapped around my little finger, how about that? Surprised? Unexpected?"
"You're quite formidable, and ruthless enough. To achieve your goal, you got pregnant with an unknown child. You're truly heartless. You can even be so cruel to yourself."
Su Ying glanced at Qiao Xiyan's slightly protruding belly, seemingly unintentionally.
"Using a child to escape the death penalty, that's quick thinking."
Qiao Xiyan disliked Su Ying looking at her with such pity.
"If you look at me like that again, believe me, I'll gouge your eyes out."
"It's my skill that I was able to get pregnant. Everyone else who was arrested with us died, but I survived because I was pregnant."
Su Ying never expected to have the chance to see Qiao Xiyan again. In her mind, Qiao Xiyan was already dead, but now she was standing alive in front of her, and had set up such a big scheme just to capture her.
They really went to great lengths.
She didn't want to discuss these meaningless things with Qiao Xiyan. After all, who the father of the child in her belly was really not something she cared about.
"Speak. What is your purpose in going to such lengths to capture me?"
It wasn't until this moment that Qiao Xiyan realized where she had lost. If it were anyone else, someone who had once tried to kill them, she wouldn't have been able to speak kindly to them.
They seize every opportunity to ridicule and mock them.
And the baby in her belly.
This child was her savior; without him, she would have been dead long ago, like everyone else.
But now, because she is pregnant, she has not been sentenced to death and has a chance to live.
She will keep the child.
He slowly approached Su Ying and said, word by word, "I'm going to take you away."
Su Ying's pupils dilated suddenly as she stared at Qiao Xiyan in disbelief. This woman was insane, completely insane. Did she even know what she was saying?
"You're insane!"
“I’m crazy. I’ve been crazy for a long time. Ever since I gave up everything in Beijing and went to the countryside to be with Gu Sinian without hesitation, I thought I could get the happiness I’ve always dreamed of and live a happy and fulfilling life with Gu Sinian in Willow Village.”
"But all of this changed after you came along. He only had eyes for you. Your every smile and frown captivated his attention, and he couldn't see anyone else."
Su Ying rolled her eyes so hard they almost reached the sky. It turned out that everything that happened today was all thanks to Gu Sinian.
But why doesn't Qiao Xiyan understand?
Even without her, Gu Sinian would not have fallen in love with her, much less marry her.
In his past life, he would rather grow old alone than marry. Neither she nor anyone else was the one Gu Sinian chose. The person he wanted to marry was always her.
Qiao Xiyan understood this in her past life, but unfortunately, the Gu family was sent to the countryside, and Qiao Xiyan gave up on him, which is why she thought that his lifelong celibacy was more or less related to her.
But is that really the case?
Qiao Xiyan knew perfectly well what was going on, but she was simply burying her head in the sand, unwilling to believe it.
Even without me, he wouldn't marry you.
"No, no. As long as you don't show up and I stay by his side, he will definitely marry me."
Su Ying sighed. Actually, this silly girl didn't necessarily like Gu Sinian that much; at most, she was just resentful.
Although she didn't know what she had gone through in her past life, she resolutely chose to go to the countryside to suffer with Gu Sinian.
Something must have happened to her in her previous life that caused her great pain, otherwise she wouldn't have made such a resolute choice to go to the countryside.
No matter how tough life is in the city, it's still better than life in the countryside.
The entire Huo family was imprisoned for treason, so Qiao Xiyan's life in her previous life must have been miserable.
However, she's not a member of the Huo family, so she should be able to divorce and leave... The Qiao family is truly selfish and self-serving... Her life is probably going to be difficult.
