Chapter 355 Don’t You Like Him?

Gu Mian remained calm and said, "Just try and touch me if you dare."

Gu Xingzhi stroked her face with his thin fingertips, "Why do you think I don't dare... If I really touch you, you will die immediately, right?"

Gu Mian curled his lips, "What era is it now? A woman's chastity is no longer under a skirt. If you touch me, I will die. Isn't that too easy for you?"

"So not only will I not die, but I will live well. The most important thing for me to do while I am alive is to kill you." Gu Mian's eyes flashed coldly, "To be precise, I want to make your life worse than death..."

Gu Xingzhi's heart was stung by the indifference and determination in her eyes. He paused with his fingertips, "Mianmian, don't look at me like that..."

"Gu Xingzhi, you are a smart person and you know how to weigh the pros and cons, unless you kill me after you're done."

Gu Xingzhi withdrew his hand and pursed his lips, "Mianmian, how could I possibly hurt you."

The coldness in Gu Mian's eyes faded a little. "Stop it, stop it now. I will forgive you for kidnapping me. You can even stay here. I won't tell my brother your address."

Gu Xingzhi smiled, "Mianmian, I don't want you to hate me, so I won't touch you. But I won't let you leave either. I think you need some time to calm down."

Under Gu Xingzhi's gaze, Gu Mian fell into a deep sleep.

When I woke up again, there was a young woman in the room who looked to be in her twenties.

"Miss Gu, you're awake." The woman said respectfully but with a hint of disdain, "I was sent by Mr. Gu to take care of you. You can just call me Xiao Du."

I no longer feel weak when I sleep, but I still feel a little dizzy.

"Help me up, I need to go to the bathroom."

Xiao Du did as he was told.

But after entering the bathroom, she didn't show any intention of leaving.

"Aren't you going out?"

"Mr. Gu said that I can't take my eyes off you."

Gu Mian frowned, "I understand that he asked you to monitor me, but how can I go to the bathroom if you are here?"

"Just pretend I don't exist."

"......"

Gu Mian pursed his lips and said, "Then I won't go. Aren't you here to take care of me? I just emptied myself and my pants are dirty, so naturally I need you to change them for me. I'm sorry to trouble you."

Xiao Du: “…”

"Miss Gu, please don't embarrass me."

"You are making things difficult for me." Gu Mian smiled. "The bathroom window is sealed shut, so there is no way for me to escape. So Gu Xingzhi is just afraid that I will commit suicide, so he needs to send me to the hospital."

"Don't worry, I've changed my mind now, and there's nothing in this bathroom that could make me commit suicide."

Xiao Du said nothing.

"How about this, I'll open the door, and you turn around so you can see me the first time you see any movement."

Xiao Du thought for a moment and then nodded.

After going to the bathroom, Gu Mian washed his hands and went back to bed.

"Miss Gu, you must be hungry, right? I'll have someone bring some food over."

Xiao Du took out the walkie-talkie from his pocket and said, "Miss Gu is awake, bring some food."

Within a few minutes, someone knocked on the door and brought food.

Xiao Du went to the door and brought the plate. "Ms. Gu, these are all made by Mr. Gu himself. Eat them while they're hot."

Gu Mian was indeed hungry.

She has no plans to go on a hunger strike.

Fasting will do nothing except harm your body.

Only by taking good care of your body and mind can you find a way to escape from here.

Gu Mian picked up the bowl and concentrated on eating.

Halfway through the meal, the door was pushed open and Gu Xingzhi walked in.

"Mr. Gu."

Xiao Du immediately nodded and greeted.

Gu Mian keenly noticed that the corner of her mouth curled up into a fleeting smile.

Gu Xingzhi walked straight to the bed and sat down, looking at Gu Mian who was eating quietly, "How does it taste?"

"It's not bad."

"Drink more soup. I added some nourishing herbs to it."

"Yeah." Gu Mian responded indifferently.

"The wound on your neck is small. I have already treated it. It should not leave a scar."

Gu Mian subconsciously raised his hand and touched the Band-Aid on his neck, "Thank you."

"Don't threaten me in this way in the future." Gu Xingzhi looked at her, "Mianmian, this is meaningless."

"I understand." Gu Mian put down his bowl and chopsticks and smiled faintly, "The supervision has been upgraded. You arranged for someone to watch me, so I will naturally be more passive."

Gu Xingzhi did not deny it. "Xiao Du is very considerate. I feel relieved to have her taking care of you."

Xiao Du nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, Mr. Gu, I will definitely take good care of Miss Gu."

"Mianmian, have a good rest. If you need anything, just let Xiaodu call me anytime... Oh, I got you a few more books. Take your time reading them."

......

In the following days, Xiao Du stayed by Gu Mian's side almost every step of the way.

Even when sleeping, I just lay on the floor in the sleeping room.

In addition, there are surveillance cameras in the room, so Gu Mian’s every move cannot escape their eyes.

At lunchtime, the kitchen brought in lunch.

"Miss Gu, it's time to eat." Xiao Du brought the food in. "Mr. Gu made it for you personally."

Gu Mian walked to the small table and sat down. He looked at the sumptuous meal in front of him and picked up his chopsticks to taste it.

"Xiao Du, do you want to eat something?"

"This is your lunch, how can I eat it?"

"So what are you going to eat later?"

When Xiao Du eats or goes to the toilet, another middle-aged woman will come in to watch over her while she sleeps.

"I eat the food that someone else will cook."

Gu Mian nodded. "But you should really want to eat the food cooked by Gu Xingzhi, right?"

Xiao Du frowned, "Ms. Gu, what are you talking about?"

"Am I wrong?" Gu Mian looked up at her, "Don't you like Gu Xingzhi?"

Xiao Du was obviously panicked, "Nothing!"

"I'm a woman, and I'm naturally sensitive to this kind of thing. You can't fool me."

"No!" Xiao Du denied it flatly. "Ms. Gu, please don't make assumptions!"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Gu Xingzhi is handsome and has a good temperament. It's not shameful to like him. Why don't you want to admit it?"

"Ms. Gu, did I say that? Please stop talking nonsense."

Gu Mian suddenly remembered something, "I almost forgot, there is surveillance here, Gu Xingzhi can hear our conversation."

She looked away and continued eating. "Just pretend I didn't say anything."

Xiao Du: “…”

Gu Mian asked while eating, "I want to go out for a walk."

"Sorry, Mr. Gu said you can't step out of the room."

"Then please help me ask how long he plans to keep me locked up." Gu Mian said calmly, "Given how much my brother cares about me, it is impossible for him to give up looking for me. Does Gu Xingzhi really have the confidence to lock me up here for the rest of my life without anyone finding me?"

"This is Mr. Gu's business, Miss Gu doesn't need to worry about it." Xiao Du said calmly, "You just need to stay here well, that's enough."

Gu Mian didn't say anything more and continued eating.

After finishing his meal, Xiao Du went to Gu Xingzhi's room to report, "Mr. Gu, Miss Gu said she wanted to go out for a walk."

"I heard it." Gu Xingzhi sat behind the desk, staring at the computer screen in front of him, and there was no emotion in his voice.

Xiao Du realized something and hurriedly explained, "Mr. Gu, please don't misunderstand me. I have no improper thoughts about you, and I dare not have any!"

"What you think is your business, not mine." Gu Xingzhi said calmly, "Do your job well. If anything goes wrong with Gu Mian, you will be the first one to be punished."

Xiao Du nodded, "Yes, I understand."

When Xiao Du returned to the room, Gu Mian noticed that her eyes were red.

"What's wrong?" Gu Mian asked, "Are you wronged?"

"No." Xiao Du denied, "I'm fine, Miss Gu, don't ask any more questions."

Gu Mian curled his lips, "Gu Xingzhi is really unkind and doesn't know how to be sympathetic to women..."

Xiao Du didn't answer.

Gu Mian held his chin with one hand and looked at her. "It seems that you told Gu Xingzhi that you wanted to go out for a walk, and he heard our conversation through the surveillance, right?"

"Miss Gu." Xiao Du looked at her seriously, "Please read your book carefully and stop talking nonsense."

Gu Mian curled his lips, "Gu Xingzhi's words must have been unpleasant to hear, otherwise you wouldn't be so sad."

"There are men with two legs everywhere. Don't hang yourself on one tree. The most important thing for a woman is to love herself."

"Ms. Gu, please stop talking!"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Okay, I'll read a book."

......

At dinner time, Gu Xingzhi came to eat with Gu Mian, a rare occasion.

"You seem to be in a good mood today." Gu Xingzhi served her soup.

"That's true." Gu Mian smiled and said, "When there are some interesting things around you, your mood will naturally be different."

Gu Xingzhi turned his head, looked at Xiao Du and gave him a wink.

Xiao Du immediately turned around and went out.

Gu Xingzhi put some food into Gu Mian's bowl and said, "It's her blessing to make you happy."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Look, there are so many people in this world who like you. Why do you have to hang yourself on a tree like mine?"

Gu Xingzhi raised his eyebrows, "How could she possibly be qualified to be compared with you?"

"Mr. Gu, what you said really hurts people's hearts. It's true that people admire you."

"So it's wrong for me to admire you?" Gu Xingzhi looked at her, "Mianmian, you are being hypocritical."

"You are different from others. Your love is about controlling the other person. Most people can't stand it."

Gu Xingzhi ate his food and said, "Mianmian, if you weren't so opinionated, I wouldn't control you."

Gu Mian smiled faintly, "You should use this kind of words more often to deceive yourself."

"Let's not talk about this anymore." Gu Xingzhi changed the subject. "Summer is coming soon. I asked someone to buy some summer clothes for you. They will be delivered in the next two days."

Gu Mian didn't say anything. After the meal, she never spoke to him again.

Gu Xingzhi did not seek to make himself unhappy. He finished his meal quietly and left.

I couldn’t go out because I was sleeping, so I could only walk around in the room to digest the food. After taking a shower, I lay down early.

Xiao Du turned off the light and lay down on the ground.

Late at night, everything is quiet.

The sleeper on the bed slowly opened his eyes.

Perhaps because Xiao Du was watching her, Gu Xingzhi did not use the incense on her again.

But she knew that Gu Xingzhi was very cautious and the surveillance in the room was on 24 hours a day.

Gu Mian did not get up, but after a while, the bed suddenly caught fire!

Gu Mian got up immediately and threw the burning quilt onto the bookshelf beside him!

The wall of books started to burn!

"Miss Gu!" Xiao Du was awakened, "What are you doing!"

In the firelight, Gu Mian raised the corners of his lips.

"You are really crazy! Go away!"

Xiao Du tried to pull Gu Mian, but she shook his hand off!

The movement startled the others.

Gu Xingzhi rushed over and pulled Gu Mian into his arms, "What are you still standing there for? Put out the fire!"

Xiao Du reacted suddenly and started to put out the fire.

Gu Xingzhi took Gu Mian to the yard, held her wrist tightly and did not let her leave.

Others rushed to join the rescue.

But the fire is out of control!

"Boss, it's too late to put it out!" A man came running over and reported, "The fire is too big. We've used several fire extinguishers, but they can't put it out. It looks like we need to call the police!"

Gu Mian could clearly feel that Gu Xingzhi's strength was increasing, as if he was going to break her wrist!

"Boss, what should we do now?"

"Let's go." Gu Xingzhi gritted his teeth and said, "Call the fire department, everyone evacuate immediately!"

"yes!"

"Destroy everything, leaving no clues behind!"

"clear!"

Gu Mian was quickly tied up and stuffed into the car.

Gu Xingzhi sat next to her, and the man in the front seat drove away quickly.

"Gu Mian, are you crazy?" Gu Xingzhi looked at the woman beside him, "Have you thought about the consequences if you burn yourself?"

"It's not important." Gu Mian smiled faintly, "I just know that as long as you leave here, your whereabouts will be exposed, and my brother will be able to find me faster."

"You really want to leave me?"

"I didn't stay here voluntarily."

Gu Xingzhi closed his eyes, trying to suppress the anger in his eyes, "Mianmian, you are tired, have a good sleep."

I soon felt my head getting dizzy, my eyelids closing uncontrollably, and soon I lost consciousness...

......

"Sleep!"

Li Tingshen woke up from his dream and sat up suddenly, only then did he realize that he was dreaming.

He calmed his breathing, got up to drink a glass of water, and picked up his cell phone to make a call.

"Any news?"

"Boss Li, there's still no news from your wife." The bodyguard on the other end of the phone said, "It's already past four o'clock, why aren't you asleep yet?"

"I woke up."

"By the way, you always said that your wife is a very smart person. If she were trapped, she would not sit there and wait for death. Instead, she would try to let us know her whereabouts, such as making the incident as big as possible."

"Yes." Li Tingshen walked to the French window, "Why are you talking about this suddenly?"

"It's like this. Three hours ago, a fire suddenly broke out in a mountain in the suburbs. The firefighters arrived in time to put out the fire. They found that the fire was in a house that was converted from a guesthouse."

"Are you connected to Gu Mian?"

"There were signs of habitation inside, but no one was found at the scene. I immediately thought of what you said, that the wife would make the matter as big as possible..."

Li Ting thought deeply for a moment and said, "I can't sleep, so I'll go over and take a look now."

......

Li Tingshen did not announce the fact that his memory had been restored to the outside world. He continued to live in the hotel and secretly directed the search for Gu Mian.

He walked out of the elevator and got directly into the car waiting not far from the elevator.

In a car in the corner, a man secretly observing immediately took out his cell phone to make a call.

"Boss, Li Tingshen just left the hotel!"
