Chapter 382 Attracting Attention

Gu Mian hurriedly got up and opened the door.

"What happened? Why did she run away for no reason?"

"I don't know. She said she was going out to buy something and the bodyguard followed her. She went into the convenience store and escaped through the back door when the bodyguard wasn't paying attention!"

Gu Mian just felt dizzy and said, "Send more people out, we must find the person!"

"Don't worry, ma'am. We are already looking for him."

......

His men searched for a whole night but still found no trace of Granny Song.

It can be said that one wave has not yet subsided when another wave comes.

Gu Xingzhi called soon after, "Mianmian, have you made up your mind?"

"You are so powerful, you should know what happened to me." Gu Mian pressed his temples, "Even if I want to use Granny Song to exchange for Yi Huan, I can't. She ran away."

"Then you can't blame me." Gu Xingzhi sighed, "It seems that Xu Yihan is destined to die because of you..."

"Gu Xingzhi, what do you want to do?" Gu Mian asked anxiously, "Yi Huan is innocent, let her go!"

"Mianmian, how can you become like me without sacrificing some innocent people?"

Gu Xingzhi sent a message directly.

At that time, in an abandoned factory in the suburbs, one of the men in black took a look at his mobile phone, immediately put down the bread in his hand, picked up the gun at hand, and pointed it at Xu Yihan's head.

"Don't..." Xu Yihan shook her head in despair. "My daughter is still very young, she can't live without a mother, I beg you to let me go! I beg you, big brother, don't kill me... Xinxin... my Xinxin... ah!"

"Bang!"

A gunshot rang out.

Xu Yihan shuddered violently and even stopped crying.

She slowly opened her eyes, only to see the man holding the gun in front of her fall to the ground.

Another companion felt something was wrong and immediately pulled out his gun and tried to kill Xu Yihan.

But before he could fire, he was hit by several bullets and fell to the ground!

Xu Yihan stared blankly at the bodyguards rushing in from all directions, tears streaming down his face again.

"Ms. Xu, don't be afraid!" The programmer stepped forward to untie her, "President Li and his wife arranged for us to rescue you."

Xu Yihan was still terrified and couldn't stop shivering, "Thank you...thank you..."

On the other hand, Gu Xingzhi had not received any feedback from his subordinates for a long time. Just as he was about to ask, he heard Gu Mian on the other end of the phone say, "Gu Xingzhi, don't waste your time. Your subordinates are already dead."

Gu Xingzhi frowned, "What did you say?"

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Do you really think that I would let the people around me fall into your hands so easily?"

"Yi Huan's phone was left at the scene, but I installed a tracker on her. No matter where your people take her, we can find her."

"After making sure your men didn't touch her, I didn't rush to rescue her. Because I'm not sure how many people you have hidden in the imperial capital, so of course I have to deal with them all at once."

"You sent a text message to Granny Song last night, telling her that I wanted to use her life to exchange for Yi Huan's return. Do you really think Granny Song could escape the bodyguards' sight without my permission?"

"I know your people must be lurking around Yunyue Bay, watching every move here, but the mantis stalks the cicada, the oriole is behind. When your people were tracking down Grandma Song and wanted to kill her, they were controlled by my men."

"The information they reported to you last night was all forced by my people."

"Not only that, they also confessed their other accomplices, who were dealt with by me overnight. Gu Xingzhi, you lost dozens of people overnight. Even if you still have some, they are not many, right?"

Gu Xingzhi chuckled, "Well...Mianmian, you have really become a master."

"I am a disciple. I will give you a taste of your own medicine. There is no need to use martial ethics when dealing with someone like you."

"It's just a pity that no matter how much you hate me, you can't kill me. As long as the worm is on you, Li Tingshen will not let me die."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "Maybe there will come a day when I would rather die with you than have you stay in this world and harm others..."

......

When Xu Yihan was brought back to Yunyue Bay, his mood had stabilized a lot, but his face was still pale.

"Yihuan!" Gu Mian greeted her at the door. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you in advance. I surprised you."

"Because I needed time to clean up Gu Xingzhi's men overnight, I didn't rescue you right away."

"Mianmian, I'm fine." Xu Yihan held her hand. "You did the right thing. We must get rid of Gu Xingzhi's men. Only then will Yunyue Bay be safer."

"And I came back unscathed, so you don't have to blame yourself."

"Thank you for your understanding."

No matter what, Gu Mian still feels guilty.

"Go take a shower first, I'll ask the kitchen to prepare you something to eat."

"good."

When Xu Yihan came out of the shower, Gu Mian had already knocked on the door and came in with food in hand.

"Yihuan, eat first."

"good."

Xu Yihan said while eating, "Mianmian, I have something to ask you."

"You ask."

"I heard from the two people who kidnapped me that Gu Xingzhi called you and asked you to choose between me and Grandma Song, is that right?"

"Yes, but the safety of you and Grandma Song is under my control."

"I know." Xu Yihan curled the corners of his lips. "I know that with your personality, even if you really face a desperate situation and have to choose between the two, you will not give up on me... But Jun Lin gave up on me, right?"

"This matter has nothing to do with my brother. How could you say such a thing?"

"Because I asked Jun Lin's assistant, he didn't even use his own power to find me." Xu Yihan smiled bitterly, "Mianmian, even for Xinxin, he didn't think of saving me and bringing me back safely."

"Yihuan, you misunderstood." Gu Mian said seriously, "I was the one who told my brother not to interfere in this matter."

"Mianmian, you don't need to lie to me." Xu Yihan tried hard to hold back tears, "Actually I don't feel sad, I'm just heartbroken."

"I thought that since I am Xinxin's mother after all, he would use his power to find me."

"That's fine. I was a little reluctant at first, but now... I've completely let it go."

Gu Mian didn't know what to say.

In order to ensure the success of the plan, she and Li Tingshen did not tell Ye Junlin about their secret arrangements.

It is also a fact that Ye Junlin did not mobilize anyone to look for Xu Yihan.

If you put yourself in their shoes, everyone would be sad.

"Yihuan, it may not be a bad thing if you can let it go." Gu Mian raised his hand and touched her hair that had just been blown dry. "Everything will be fine."

"Mianmian, when they pointed a gun at me today, I really thought I was dead." Xu Yihan's tears fell uncontrollably, "So now I feel that being able to come back alive and see Xinxin again is already very good, nothing else matters..."

Gu Mian hugged her and said, "It's my fault. I gave you such a big scare. I'm really sorry."

"Mianmian, I told you, it's none of your business." Xu Yihan cried, "On the contrary, I want to thank you. After going through this, I can see things more clearly."

"Then don't be sad, okay?"

"I'm not sad, I'm happy." Xu Yihan closed her eyes and let the tears fall, "You're right, everything will be fine..."

......

Gu Mian waited until Xu Yihan fell asleep before returning to the master bedroom.

Li Tingshen's video call came soon.

"What's wrong?" Li Ting saw that Gu Mian was not in a good mood, "Unhappy?"

"Ting Shen, I think Yi Huan is angry with my brother for not coming forward to save her."

"In order to prevent a traitor from among us, even your brother kept this a secret, but he did not help save Yi Huan, so it's understandable that she's angry."

"So what should we do now?"

"Wife, they have already separated. Xu Yihan has no relationship with Jun Lin except being the mother of Jun Lin's child." Li Ting took a sip of coffee. "I have to say something unpleasant. Jun Lin has no obligation to save her."

"Are all you men so cold-hearted?" Gu Mian disagreed, "Yi Huan has been with my brother for so many years after all."

Li Tingshen: "......"

"Baby, I'm analyzing this with you rationally, but you're talking to me about feelings."

"Let's stop chatting. If we continue chatting, you will be unhappy."

Gu Mian pouted, "Anyway, I think the relationship between my brother and Xu Yihan won't end so easily. I have a feeling that sooner or later my brother will end up in the crematorium after chasing his wife."

Li Ting chuckled, "Same as I did back then?"

Gu Mian raised his eyebrows, "You haven't really chased me before."

"Wife, I pursued her so hard at first, and you call that not pursuing her at all?"

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "I've almost forgotten it anyway, why don't you find some time to catch up with it again."

Li Ting stared at the bright and beautiful face in the video, his heart aching.

Gu Mian seemed to sense his emotions and was slightly startled.

She smiled and changed the subject, "Ting Shen, do you think Gu Xingzhi's people in the imperial capital have been almost cleared out?"

"There should be more than this number of people, but Gu Xingzhi's every move is now under our control. With his actions restricted, the actions of his subordinates will naturally not be that easy."

"That's good. We win this round." Gu Mian said with a smile, "So Ting Shen, I believe that one day, we will be reunited."

"Okay, I'll listen to my wife and wait patiently for that day."

......

When Xu Yihan woke up, it was already dark.

She got up, washed, and went downstairs to Nian Nian's room to look for her daughter.

When I opened the door and walked in, I saw Ye Junlin holding Xinxin and feeding her milk powder.

Ye Junlin heard the voice and looked over subconsciously.

They looked at each other, but neither of them reacted.

But Xu Yihan could still clearly feel the surging emotions in his heart.

Unlike the past, she felt more sad.

If possible, she didn't want to see Ye Junlin.

But she also knew very well that as long as Xinxin was there, there would be a connection between them and it was impossible for them not to see each other for the rest of their lives.

Xu Yihan suppressed his inner emotions and walked forward calmly, "Let me do it."

"Xinxin is very well behaved. She has almost finished drinking. Stop hugging her."

Xu Yihan did not insist and squatted down to pick up the toys on the ground.

Ye Junlin looked at this familiar scene and said, "You don't need to do these things."

"I'm used to it."

She has always been hardworking and can't stand dirt and mess.

"Are you not hurt?"

"No." Xu Yihan replied calmly, "In fact, the people arranged by Mian Mian have already set up control. If those two people hurt me, her people will rush in to save me immediately."

"Mianmian is indeed very capable." Ye Junlin was very pleased. "This matter was done beautifully. Even I was kept in the dark and thought that Gu Xingzhi had taken control of me again."

Xu Yihan said, "Boss Li and the Mianmian couple are of one mind, so they will naturally be invincible. It is only a matter of time before they defeat Gu Xingzhi."

"What's wrong with you?" Ye Junlin realized belatedly that Xu Yihan was in a bad mood, "...Were you scared yesterday?"

"No." Xu Yihan denied, "I'm fine."

"Who are you showing your cold face to?" Ye Junlin frowned, "Did I provoke you?"

Xu Yihan raised his head and looked at him, "I don't have a cold face."

"Look at yourself in the mirror. You look like someone owes you eight million." Ye Junlin's face was slightly cold. "Xu Yihan, you left without saying goodbye before, causing Xinxin to suffer so much. Just because I didn't settle accounts with you doesn't mean you didn't do anything wrong."

Xu Yihan pursed his lips, "I have done more than just this one wrong thing..."

"From what you said, your mistake is related to me?" Ye Junlin said coldly, "Tell me about it."

"It's all in the past. I don't want to say anything." Xu Yihan took Xinxin from his arms, "Xinxin is full. I'll take her back to her room first."

Ye Junlin was almost laughing out of anger.

It's only been less than a month since we last saw each other, but I've already learned how to show my expression to her.

He has grown up so big, and no one has ever dared to give him a cold shoulder!

Just as Xu Yihan was about to turn around and leave, a strong hand grabbed his arm.

Xu Yihan turned to look at him, "What are you doing?"

"I hate it when people speak halfway in a sarcastic way. Explain what you are saying to me clearly."

"I have nothing to say to you." Xu Yihan struggled to break free from his hand. "The child is still here. I don't want to argue with you."

Ye Junlin picked up Xinxin and walked out directly.

"Ye Junlin, what are you doing?" Xu Yihan chased after him immediately, "Give Xinxin back to me!"

Ye Junlin carried Xinxin downstairs and handed her to Gu Mian who had just returned from a walk. He then took Xu Yihan's hand and walked out.

"What's wrong with them?" Zhang's mother asked worriedly, "Are they having a fight? Do you want to go after them and try to persuade them?"

"Although my brother is strong, he won't be violent towards Yihuan. And quarreling is not necessarily a bad thing." Gu Mian smiled, "Quarrying is also a form of communication, which is better than not having any communication at all in the past."

Mother Zhang felt relieved. "That's true."

......

Xu Yihan resisted all the way, but was no match for Ye Junlin's strength. He was forcibly taken out of the villa and put into the car parked at the door.

She subconsciously tried to open the door and get out of the car, but the door was locked by the man immediately.

"Ye Junlin, what do you want to do?" Xu Yihan could hardly hide his anger.

Ye Junlin raised his hand and pinched her chin, his eyes full of sarcasm, "You left without saying goodbye before, and your presence didn't make me marry you, and now you're changing your tactics again?"

"You changed your good girl image, dared to resist me, and even called me by my name, just to attract my attention, huh?"
