The door slammed shut, and Gu Tingchen's heart trembled violently.
"Jiang Ranran, Meng Xianchen, where are you?" Gu Tingchen sat on the edge of the bed, his eyes dazed and confused. But his mind was working rapidly. He had to find a way to conquer Meng Zhen, otherwise he might never see Jiang Ranran and Meng Xianchen again in this life.
That very night, Gu Tingchen made his decision. After dinner, he immediately came to the door and asked to go out.
When the guards at the door heard this, they all said to Gu Tingchen with stern faces: "Mr. Gu, you'd better go back. We can't let you out."
"I'll say it again, let me out, otherwise I will take action." Gu Tingchen ordered sternly.
While speaking, Gu Tingchen pretended to hit someone, moving his wrists fiercely, as if he was about to fight with them in the next second.
The guards looked at each other, and finally showed an embarrassed look, but at the same time they were prepared for defense.
"Mr. Gu, if you insist on taking action, then we will have no choice but to accompany you..." The subordinate stretched out his arms, looking ready to take the attack.
Gu Tingchen sneered at this, "It's all very well to accompany you, but have you ever thought about whether you can bear the responsibility if you knock me out? I'm sure Meng Zhen will want to kill you by then."
This is not an exaggeration. The two guards knew it very well. They knew Meng Zhen's temper and character very well.
They have seen many colleagues being punished for their poor performance over the years.
"Mr. Gu, please don't make things difficult for us. We are just following orders..." The person who was just getting ready to take action softened his attitude and discussed with Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen curled his lips into a smile with a hint of satisfaction; this was exactly the effect he wanted.
"It's okay if I don't make things difficult for you. You can come in and play cards and drink with me. I'm really bored and need someone to cheer me up." Gu Tingchen changed the subject and actually invited them to drink and play cards, which really surprised the two of them.
Both of them showed the same expected look of surprise, as if they thought there was something wrong with their ears.
"Hey, Mr. Gu, you are not kidding, right?" One of them was bolder and was the first to speak to confirm with Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen sighed, looking very embarrassed. "Why would I joke with you when I have nothing to do? Don't you know how boring it is to be locked up in the room? Why don't I lock you up and try it."
"But we, we still have a mission..." The two were in trouble.
Gu Tingchen patted the man's shoulder and said with a sense of purpose: "Stupid, you guys are drinking and playing cards with me, so you can see me more closely, right? Are you still worried that Meng Zhen will embarrass you? Don't worry, I will plead for you when the time comes. You know she cares about me a lot..."
Gu Tingchen's smooth and perfect speech quickly touched the hearts of the two.
"Well, then Mr. Gu, we won't be polite." The two smiled embarrassedly, and then sent someone to get the wine and cards. Before leaving, Gu Tingchen stopped him.
"Go directly to the basement and get the best wine. If anyone asks, just say it's what I wanted. No one will dare to stop you." Gu Tingchen's bold words immediately made the two guards feel very proud, because what Gu Tingchen said was true. Meng Zhen liked him, and this was something everyone knew. Who would dare not give Gu Tingchen the wine he wanted?
Watching from afar one of the guards happily running towards the basement to get the wine and the cards, Gu Tingchen's eyes, which were originally filled with smiles, suddenly flashed with a hint of darkness.
Of course what he said was true. He wanted to drink and play cards with them, but not to relieve boredom, but to get them drunk.
Seeing that person walking away, Gu Tingchen quickly picked up his smile and said to the remaining person, "Come on, go inside and sit down first. The wine will be here soon."
Gu Tingchen hooked the man's shoulder, as if he was very close to him, calling him a brother, and soon the man felt elated.
Who is Gu Tingchen? He's the CEO of Gu Group and the apple of Meng Zhen's eye!
"Mr. Gu, actually we all admire you very much. If our boss hadn't asked us to keep an eye on you, I would have let you move freely if I really had no choice." The man began to say some flattering words to Gu Tingchen. Gu Tingchen knew it very well but pretended to be very pleased.
At the same time, the other man came to the basement and prepared to get some wine upstairs.
But his actions were not very smooth and he was stopped.
"You need to register to take such expensive wine." This was the voice of a servant, who was obviously in charge of guarding the wine cellar.
The guard was visibly stunned when he heard this. The next second, he said confidently, "Do you know who wants to drink? Gu Tingchen, it's Gu Tingchen who wants to drink. If you dare to stop him, he will report you to the boss. You will suffer the consequences!"
Little did they know that next to the wine cellar was where Jiang Ranran and Meng Xianchen were imprisoned. At this moment, Jiang Ranran heard the voice clearly, and her emotions suddenly became uncontrollably excited.
"Gu Tingchen? Is Gu Tingchen awake?" Jiang Ranran's eyes widened, and her voice couldn't help but tremble.
At this time, her injuries had improved slightly, at least she could turn her head. But Meng Xianchen couldn't. His injuries were too severe, and his bones would not heal on their own. He might really face lifelong disability.
"Meng Xianchen, did you hear it just now? They seemed to be saying that Gu Tingchen woke up!" Jiang Ranran asked in surprise and joy.
Meng Xianchen opened his eyes slightly and said doubtfully, "I think I heard it too, but did we hear it wrong? Even the experts say that Gu Tingchen's injuries are difficult to recover from. How could he wake up so soon? I hope this isn't an illusion."
"It's not an illusion, they really said Gu Tingchen woke up!" Jiang Ranran gasped excitedly, his heart surging.
Gu Tingchen is awake, but does he know that he is here too? What will his reaction be if he sees him?
Thinking of this, Jiang Ranran has begun to look forward to the day of meeting Gu Tingchen.
Obviously, the person guarding the wine cellar had compromised and handed the guard a bottle of high-end red wine. Then the guard took the wine and left. Listening to the footsteps gradually fading away, Jiang Ranran felt that his heart had flown away with them.
This person must have gone to find Gu Tingchen!
Jiang Ranran's guess was correct. The guard did go to find Gu Tingchen. As soon as he entered the door, he saw Gu Tingchen and another guard chatting enthusiastically, and they seemed very happy.
"Mr. Gu, the wine and cards are here!" the guard said excitedly.
Gu Tingchen nodded with satisfaction, then generously opened a bottle of wine and poured a glass for each of the three people.
