Chapter 30 I like you, are you willing to accept it?
The conversation continued from the front.
"Are you sure he didn't bring his phone?"
"He was just wearing pajamas, and he had a bracelet on, that's all."
Yu You moved his wrist slightly and felt the presence of the iris bracelet.
The familiar cool texture brought a sense of security, and Yu You's mind calmed down slightly.
He had filmed police and gangster movies and learned how to break free from ropes. He held his breath and pretended to be unconscious, then quietly untied himself.
Halfway through the solution, the vehicle stopped.
The car door clanged open, and Yu You pretended to have just woken up, making indistinct sounds of fear.
The visitor's tone was quite polite: "Mr. Yu, we've been asked to invite you as our guest. Please cooperate with us. We won't make things difficult for you."
Yu You pretended to be timid and nodded slightly, then one of the men grabbed his arm and took him out of the car.
His sense of smell has always been keen, and he could detect details as soon as he got out of the car.
The air around is very clean and clear, the humidity is high, and it carries the fragrance of spring flowers.
He was led to stumble forward, deliberately walking slowly. The people beside him became impatient and urged him several times before he finally entered the house.
After entering, Yu You was forced to sit on the sofa by the two men. He suppressed a little nervousness and waited quietly.
After a long while, there was a dull tapping sound of a crutch hitting the floor, hitting the eardrum again and again, accompanied by slow footsteps, and finally stopped not far in front of Yu You.
"Unblind him."
Someone untied the black cloth and tape that bound Yu You, leaving only the rope behind his back.
The bright light suddenly hit Yu You's eyes. He was not used to it and subconsciously closed his eyes for a while before he could slowly see the situation in front of him.
It was in a spacious living room. The uncle whom I had met last time at the hot spring villa was sitting on the sofa opposite, with tall and strong bodyguards standing on both sides.
My uncle was in a car accident in his early years and has a lame leg. He needs to use crutches to walk for a long time.
Yu You had guessed who it was when he heard the cane tapping on the ground. He was not surprised to see the person now. He blinked and asked, "Uncle, so this is how you treat us."
"You're quite brave." The uncle glared at him gloomily. "Aren't you afraid that you'll be trapped here and never be able to get out?"
Yu You spoke frankly: "What you want is equity, which has nothing to do with me. I represent Jiang Xunzhou's partner. If you get rid of me, Jiang Xunzhou can find another one and still get the old man's equity. Isn't the problem the same?"
He had a clear understanding of his hostage position.
"You're quite smart." My uncle said with a forced smile, "But you'd better worry about it. What if Jiang Xunzhou doesn't think you're as important as the equity? If he gives up after hearing the conditions I offer, then since you've met me, there's no reason for you to continue existing in this world."
He raised his chin and gestured to the person next to him: "Call Jiang Xunzhou."
He then stared at Yu You across from him and said, "You know what to say, right? Say you're scared and ask Jiang Xunzhou to come and rescue you."
Yu You said "Oh".
The call was connected quickly and the phone was brought to Yu You's ear.
Yu You obediently called out, "Husband."
Jiang Xunzhou's voice on the other side was extremely tense, revealing a subtle panic: "Baby, are you okay? Are you scared?"
"I'm fine, and I'm not scared." Yu You heard it, and his heart softened. "I'm just worried about whether our new bouquet is ready. I said it should be lake blue, not sea blue—"
Before he could finish his words, his uncle on the other side made a gesture, and the bodyguard understood and hung up the phone neatly.
Yu You protested: "I'm not finished yet!"
My uncle sneered: "I asked you to tell Jiang Xunzhou to rescue you quickly, not to let you two flirt here."
The purpose of notifying the left and right has been achieved. The uncle did not want to stay any longer and stood up: "Well, time is almost up, I should go to the engagement luncheon of the two newlyweds."
Yu You asked sincerely, "Will I stay here forever?"
He is the protagonist of the engagement party.
My uncle left with his men without saying a word, but two bodyguards remained on his left and right, watching him.
So rude.
Yu You muttered to himself, leaning back on the sofa. His wrists were already flexible, and he quietly took off his necklace using the cover of his back and stuffed it into the gap of the sofa.
Two bodyguards walked towards him, grabbed Yu You's arms, lifted him upstairs, and locked him in the guest bedroom.
He was very polite when he spoke: "We are just outside the door. If Mr. Yu wants to drink water or eat something, just let me know."
Yu You was a little thirsty and his stomach was rumbling, but he still shook his head.
The guest bedroom door was closed.
Yu You looked around and noticed the clock decorating the wall. It was almost eleven o'clock in the morning.
He and Jiang Xunzhou did not plan to attend the engagement luncheon because the villa they lived in was too far from the manor. It would be too rushed to rush to the 12 o'clock lunch after the party, so it would be better to pack up and go to attend the afternoon ceremony.
Yu You realized one thing.
In other words, his current location is less than an hour's drive from the manor.
The sound of a car starting up came from outside. Yu You jumped off the sofa and looked out the window. He saw three cars parked in the courtyard below, one of which was slowly leaving.
Opposite the guest bedroom is the tea room, where two bodyguards are sitting and drinking tea.
One of them asked, "We don't have to stay inside guarding it the whole time?"
Another person didn't care. "What's there to be afraid of? This neighborhood has just been developed, and no one's living there. It's like the middle of nowhere. How could he possibly get away? It's written in his profile that he doesn't even have a driver's license. Even if we gave him the car, he wouldn't dare drive away. Even the internet signal is blocked here. Wouldn't it be even more boring for us to keep an eye on him from inside?"
Then he said mysteriously, "Besides, we won't stay here forever. Someone will come to pick us up and take the person inside to the ferry."
The person on the other side was stunned: "If President Jiang agrees to the conditions, shouldn't we send this person back?"
"Send him back? How is that possible? Even if Jiang Xunzhou signed the transfer agreement, we still have to send him away to ensure that Jiang Xunzhou loses both his life and his wealth. Now we are on guard against Jiang Xunzhou signing the agreement. We want to hear the voice of this person inside, so we are keeping him here as a bargaining chip -"
At the same time, there was chaos in the villa.
Shi Sanlin heard some noise in the corridor outside while he was sleeping. When he came out to see, he was given an injection and passed out. When he woke up, he heard that Yu You had been taken away for six hours. He felt dizzy and almost passed out again.
"Boss Jiang, based on the last reported location from the locator, we can roughly demarcate this area, but we can't pinpoint its exact location."
The custom-made iris diamond necklace was embedded with a micro-locator, which would automatically report GPS coordinates to the Internet every half hour, but there had been no movement in the past hour.
Jiang Xunzhou sat in the back seat of the car, staring intently at the large circled area on the map on his laptop screen. He asked, "Is there a lake nearby?"
Jiang Zuwen was stunned: "Lake?"
Jiang Xunzhou nodded. "His support color is ocean blue, and our bouquet was mistakenly labeled a lake blue rose. We only got the new bouquet last night. It's impossible for the baby to mention the bouquet for no reason and deliberately say the wrong color."
The people below quickly found their target: "Boss Jiang, there is a lake in this newly developed community."
Jiang Xunzhou said without hesitation: "Let's go there."
Jiang Zuwen was extremely worried: "This neighborhood is so big, how can we find him? What if the time limit set by your uncle is exceeded..."
Jiang Xunzhou said calmly, "Even if the deadline comes and I sign the agreement, my uncle won't let me go. He doesn't just want equity, he wants the engagement ceremony to be postponed, making everyone laugh at our family and making my parents lose face."
He closed his eyes and said, "Besides, no matter how hard it is to find, I can't abandon the baby."
Would he be afraid? Would he be worried... that he would give up on me for the sake of equity?
Jiang Xunzhou couldn't help but feel a pang of pain in his heart just thinking about it. He regretted that for the sake of his secret self-esteem, he had not told the young man who was dear to his heart his true feelings sooner.
The contract is not important, the equity is not important.
Only he matters.
The vehicle drove to the newly developed community. A large lake looked like a blue gem, the road was lined with lush vegetation and colorful flowers, and single-family villas were scattered around. It was quiet and beautiful.
The entire bodyguard team kicked doors from house to house looking for someone. The community security rushed over after hearing the news, but were politely taken aside.
Soon, news came: "Boss Jiang, there are suspicious people in this villa!"
When Jiang Xunzhou rushed over, he saw a bodyguard being escorted by their people. He also explained that he was asked by the owner to come here to check the progress of the renovation.
Assistant Wan had a serious expression on his face, holding a familiar iris bracelet in his hand: "Boss Jiang, this is Mr. Yu's bracelet. I saw it on the sofa, but I couldn't find him in the entire villa."
Jiang Xunzhou closed his five fingers around the bracelet, and the sharp edges of the diamonds hurt his palms. He raised his eyes expressionlessly, with a sinister look between his brows.
"Where did you send him?"
He held the iris bracelet and strangled the man's collar. The veins on the back of his broad hand were bulging due to excessive force, and even his breathing was filled with pain.
The heart in my chest was beating fast, and the blood was pumping sharp pain and fear throughout my body. I felt like I was falling into an ice cave, and my hands and feet were soaked in cold, and I felt chills.
Is it still too late?
His little fish baby is so delicate. What if he is sent to a remote country, can't speak the language, has no money, and is bullied? What should he do when the passion comes? How should he get through it?
Just thinking about it, his palms couldn't help but tighten little by little.
The man being grabbed by the collar was in so much pain that his face turned red. He was breathing more than he was breathing in, struggling hard: "...He, he's already run away!"
Jiang Xunzhou's mind went blank for a moment, and his hands suddenly loosened.
Assistant Wan next to him quickly stepped forward and asked, "He ran away? Which direction did Mr. Yu run to?"
The bodyguard who was released gasped for breath. "He, he jumped from the second floor and drove away in our car! Damn it! The car keys were clearly in our hands. We have no idea how he started the car and drove away! My companions went after him, and I stayed here to wait for the person to pick him up..."
The phone suddenly rang.
Jiang Xunzhou picked up the phone and saw that it was Jiang Qingyan calling. He suppressed his anxious and irritable mood and answered the phone.
"Brother, I'm busy here-"
"Husband, where are you?"
The familiar boy's voice interrupted everything with joy.
Jiang Xunzhou's fingers trembled nervously, and his voice became hoarse: "...Baby?"
"It's me. I ran out and returned to the manor! Brother Qingyan is here too!"
Yu You handed the phone back to Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan said, "Xunzhou, Xiaoyu is in your room now and is safe. Come back first. The engagement ceremony is important. I will help you deal with the follow-up matters over there."
The two chatted for a few more sentences and soon hung up. Jiang Qingyan turned around and looked at the boy on the sofa.
Yu You's hair was messy, his cheeks were dirty, and he was still wearing that thin silk pajamas. He had several small wounds from being scratched by branches. His feet were not wearing shoes or socks, and the soles of his feet were covered with dust. He looked like a little gray cat that had crawled out of a pipe, and he looked disheveled no matter how you looked at him.
He was thirsty and hungry, so after reporting to Jiang Xunzhou that he was safe, he held the cup and drank gulps of water.
Jiang Qingyan had the meal delivered, and Yu You buried his head in front of the coffee table, eating heartily.
Su Qiuling had no idea that Yu You had been kidnapped. She was still entertaining guests at lunch with Jiang Junran. When she heard the news, she rushed over. When she saw Yu You like this as soon as she entered the room, her eyes suddenly turned red.
"How did it become like this?"
Su Qiuling walked over, ignoring her delicate and beautiful skirt, and hugged the dusty Yu You into her arms. She touched his face, looked left and right, and said distressedly: "Are you okay? Does your wound hurt, Xiaoyu?"
Yu You had never been so close to an elder before, and was a little overwhelmed. He tried to comfort her awkwardly, "Aunt Su, I'm fine. These are just minor wounds. They won't hurt."
"Such a big thing happened, and Xun Zhou didn't even tell us! Luckily nothing happened!" Su Qiuling cried and laughed, "How did you come all the way here alone?"
Yu You said honestly, "They locked me in a room on the second floor. The balcony didn't look very high, and there was a tree next to it, so I grabbed a branch and jumped down. There were two cars in the yard, and they probably didn't think I would run away. The passenger window of one car was open, so I got in and drove away—"
Su Qiuling was terrified when she heard this: "The car keys happened to be inside?"
Yu You shook his head and explained excitedly, "I don't have the car keys, but the escape tool kit in the car is very complete, and it just happens to have the wrench I need. I just need to pry open the bottom of the steering wheel, pull out the fuse inside, and ignite it to start the car."
He has hung on wires and filmed scenes of faking a fall from a building. He knows how to roll to relieve the force. He got covered in mud but landed safely. He has also filmed scenes of killers escaping. He knows how to cut wires, steal a car, ignite the engine, and leave smoothly.
In addition, he paid attention to the direction the previous car left, and after starting the car, he quickly found the right way out. When he reached the busy main road, he abandoned the car and hailed a taxi to the manor.
——The housekeeper at the gate of the manor recognized him at a glance and was shocked. He paid the taxi fare for him, but did not dare to make any more arrangements. He quietly took him to the room where Jiang Xunzhou used to live, and also notified Jiang Qingyan.
Jiang Qingyan suddenly asked: "Can you drive?"
Yu You paused for a moment, then suddenly remembered that the original owner didn't have a driver's license and couldn't drive. He held his head with his hands and said, "Oh, my head feels a little dizzy..."
Su Qiuling hurriedly urged: "Qingyan, where is the family doctor? Why hasn't he arrived yet? Where is Xunzhou?"
"I've called the family doctor." Jiang Qingyan said, "Xun Zhou is on his way here too."
The family doctor team arrived soon after hearing the news and examined Yu You.
Yu You sat on the sofa, surrounded by the housekeeper, Su Qiuling, the family doctor who helped him treat his wounds, and others.
Jiang Xunzhou arrived at this time.
The sound of hurried footsteps came from the corridor, approaching from far away.
Yu You heard the noise and seemed to have sensed something. He looked up and his sight passed through the crowd and met Jiang Xunzhou's anxious eyes.
This was the first time he saw Jiang Xunzhou like this.
Probably because he rushed out after hearing the news, Jiang Xunzhou had buttoned the middle button of his shirt wrong, one of his cuffs was half-rolled up, and the other was hanging down, his trousers were wrinkled, and his hair, which was usually meticulously combed back, was completely messy, looking a bit disheveled.
Yu You subconsciously stood up and took two steps towards him, his eyebrows curved and a smile appeared on his face: "Husband, you're back!——"
The next moment, Jiang Xunzhou hugged him.
The man's arms were strong and powerful, locking him tightly, tightening his grip, so heavy that it seemed as if he wanted to embed him into his bones.
"Sorry, baby."
Jiang Xunzhou's voice was low and hoarse, and his rapid breathing was filled with pain: "Are you very scared?"
"I'm not afraid."
Yu You gently hugged Jiang Xunzhou's broad shoulders and whispered, "I knew you would come looking for me and find me. It's just that I wanted to see you earlier, so I ran out on my own."
He stood on the balcony of the room, feeling a little timid at the height, but suddenly realized something.
This community could be said to be his dream residence in his previous life.
The lake in the distance is sparkling, the green willows are lush, and the fresh spring flowers are in clusters. It is so beautiful under the golden sunshine of spring, and the crisp sound of birds can be heard.
This place is nice, but it would be meaningless without Jiang Xunzhou.
He missed Jiang Xunzhou very much.
Jiang Xunzhou's breathing was still disordered. His palm trembled slightly when he touched Yu You, and he called out, "...Baby."
Yu You noticed it and looked up: "I'm here, look at me, I'm fine."
Jiang Xunzhou's palm touched Yu You's face again, his movements were very gentle, as if he was afraid of waking him from a dream.
Yu You tilted his head slightly and rubbed his palm obediently, his eyes sparkling.
Su Qiuling worriedly said, "Xunzhou, let Xiaoyu come over to treat the wound first. It's not too late to talk about anything after that."
Jiang Xunzhou woke up as if from a dream and quickly let go of the man: "Where are you injured?"
"Just some minor scratches." Yu You said quickly, "It's okay."
Yu You was forced to sit on the sofa again. He stretched out his arms and continued to let the family doctor treat the shallow scratches caused by tree branches. He sat obediently with his knees together, but felt a little embarrassed under the care surrounding him.
Jiang Xunzhou went to the bathroom to find a clean towel, then came back and half-knelt on the carpet, holding Yu You's bare feet and wiping off the mud and dust on them bit by bit.
The large palm held the ankle, the towel was moist and warm, and the dirty soles of the feet became white again.
Jiang Xunzhou was concentrating on wiping his feet. There was a group of people around him, and Su Qiuling was also there, which made Yu You feel a little embarrassed. He whispered, "Hubby, I'll do it myself."
Su Qiuling smiled faintly, knowing that Yu You was embarrassed because of her staying here, and said, "Xunzhou, you stay here with Xiaoyu and have a good rest. Leave the things over there to your brother. I will go downstairs to receive the guests with your father."
Jiang Xunzhou nodded: "Okay."
The family doctor quickly treated the wound, told the patient not to touch water for a while, and quickly took the patient away.
Jiang Xunzhou and Yu You were the only ones left in the room.
Jiang Xunzhou held the man in his arms, carefully avoiding the injured parts of Yu You, and hugged him gently.
Yu You shifted uneasily and whispered, "I haven't changed into my pajamas yet. I'm so dirty."
"It's not dirty." Jiang Xunzhou said hoarsely, his eyes fixed on him, a myriad of emotions surging in his eyes, "Baby, let me hold you for a while."
Only at this moment of hugging did he truly feel that Yu You had returned to his side, and his suspended heart finally settled down.
"All right."
Yu You nodded modestly to show his agreement.
He would never admit that he didn't want to get down from Jiang Xunzhou's body.
Jiang Xunzhou pressed his fingers against Yu You's gray face, and a hint of smile finally appeared in his voice: "After going out for a while, the little white cat turned into a little calico cat."
"Why are you still laughing at me?" Yu You's eyes widened, and he punched Jiang Xunzhou's chest in dissatisfaction. "I turned into a cat just to come back and see you!"
He couldn't help but curl up the corners of his lips again, and said with a sense of boasting: "Do you know how I escaped?"
Jiang Xunzhou then followed up by asking, "How did you get out?"
Yu You repeated his previous words, but this time he exaggerated them to the utmost, mainly emphasizing how smart and brave he was, and then looked at Jiang Xunzhou eagerly.
Jiang Xunzhou laughed grimly and praised: "Our little fish baby is so amazing."
Yu You was so flattered by the praise that he blurted out his true feelings without realizing it: "That's right! All the dramas I filmed before were useful——"
As soon as he finished speaking, he realized that something was wrong. He raised his eyes hurriedly, but saw that Jiang Xunzhou's expression remained unchanged, he just looked at him with lowered eyebrows and smiled.
His dark eyes were filled with gentle and doting feelings, and his gaze was focused, as if he was the only one who could be seen in the whole world.
A blush slowly crept up Yu You's ears, and his arrogant tone also dropped: "Why don't you speak?"
"I want to see more of you." Jiang Xunzhou said, "Baby Xiaoyu, today is our engagement day."
Yu You was confused: "I know."
If it weren't for the engagement, he wouldn't have been kidnapped today.
"But it wasn't until today that I realized I couldn't bear to lose you more than I thought. For a moment, I thought about what would happen to you and what I would do if I hadn't found you. The thought of such a consequence makes me want to go crazy, so crazy that I might do something irrational."
"But fortunately, you came back to me."
Jiang Xunzhou smiled slightly: "Maybe it's a little late now, but I still want to tell you something."
Yu You seemed to have guessed something. His palms were sweating from nervousness, and his heartbeat in his chest became uncontrollable, beating faster and faster, like a confused deer jumping around aimlessly but unable to find a way out.
He asked blankly, "What's the matter?"
Jiang Xunzhou stared at him deeply, and said solemnly, word by word, "Baby, I like you. This is a love that has nothing to do with a contract. I want to spend my whole life with you. Are you willing to accept it?"
