Chapter 38: Obsessive Childhood Sweetheart's Forced Pampering - Escape
It turns out that all of this was a scam!
The two locked eyes.
Seeing Gu Shanshan looking at him with fear in her eyes, a hint of malice flashed in Gong Ye's eyes.
Gu Shanshan never expected that she would find herself penniless after simply running away.
When he returned, he wanted to ask Gong Ye for some money. Before he could even open the door, he heard Gong Ye and Jiang Ziheng talking through the crack in the door.
Curious about what Gong Ye and Jiang Ziheng would say, he hid outside the door to eavesdrop.
But I never expected to hear such a big secret.
He then learned that he had been kidnapped by Gu Linfeng, fallen off a cliff, and would be spending the night in that village.
And that guy named Wang Ziren, it was all part of Gong Ye's scheme.
He just felt that the man in front of him was terrifying.
They both stared at each other, neither moving.
Gong Ye took the initiative and stepped forward to grab Gu Shanshan.
Gu Shanshan instinctively stepped back to avoid Gong Ye's touch.
Even though Gu Shanshan knew perfectly well that Gong Ye was his target, at this moment, having just learned the truth, he simply couldn't accept the terrifying Gong Ye.
How deep must a person's scheming be to be able to calculate so flawlessly?
In order to win his heart, they risked their lives.
This is insane and terrifying.
Gong Ye angrily rebuked Gu Shanshan for her avoidance.
"You dare to avoid me? Gu Shanshan has only been around for a short time and you already dare to avoid me!"
He stared at Gu Shanshan with a gloomy expression, his dark eyes filled with anger.
Gu Shanshan's lips trembled, her eyes glaring resentfully at Gong Ye, and she questioned him through gritted teeth.
"Gong Ye, aren't you afraid that your scheme will backfire, and neither of us will be standing here alive right now?"
Shouldn't he hide from such a terrifying person?
Gu Shanshan really wanted to ask Gong Ye if he had considered what would happen if something went wrong at any point, or if Gu Linfeng didn't follow his plan and instead killed him during the kidnapping.
What if the bullet hadn't missed its mark and had hit him directly in the head while he was in the broken bamboo building?
What if they weren't so lucky when they fell and landed directly on a big rock, bleeding profusely and dying?
Faced with Gu Shanshan's questioning, Gong Ye sneered indifferently.
"But the fact is, we're all standing here!"
The man was cold and indifferent, a typical example of someone who would never repent.
Gu Shanshan's heart grew colder and colder, filled with utter disappointment.
With red eyes, he kept shaking his head, "Gong Ye, didn't you ever think that I might die while you were scheming all this?"
Before Gong Ye could speak, Gu Shanshan chuckled self-deprecatingly and began to speak on her own.
"Ha, of course you've thought about it, but what does my life mean to you? It's insignificant. You say you like me, like me to death, but what have you done? You treat me like a toy, a pawn to be manipulated at will!"
"You don't want me to have my own thoughts. You control my body and try to control my mind. You want me to be your puppet, obediently listening to you, preferably locked up in that villa every day, waiting for you to come back, right?"
Each question struck Gong Ye's heart like a hammer blow.
Gong Ye had to admit that Gu Shanshan was right about everything she said.
With a blank expression, he admitted, "Yes, you're right. I just want to possess you and control you!"
Gong Ye's words chilled Gu Shanshan to the bone.
"Gu Shanshan, let me tell you frankly, even if you know the truth today, what can you do? You have no choice but to obey me!"
She raised her hand, her slender fingers pointing at Jiang Ziheng on the hospital bed.
"If you dare to run, I'll make sure you suffer a fate worse than death, and his parents won't get away with it either!"
Now that he's been exposed, Gong Ye no longer needs to pretend.
His brutal and ruthless nature was completely exposed.
He originally intended to keep it a secret from Gu Shanshan forever, but who told him to come and eavesdrop?
It's all Gu Shanshan's fault.
Seeing Gong Ye's arrogant and unrepentant attitude, Gu Shanshan felt even more disheartened.
With red eyes, he angrily rebuked, "Gong Ye, you're shameless! What else can you do besides threaten me with them?"
If Gong Ye hadn't arrogantly said those things to Jiang Ziheng in order to provoke him, would he have remained in the dark forever?
Knowing nothing, she foolishly believed that Gong Ye had truly changed for the better and was genuinely willing to take care of Jiang Ziheng with him.
They treated him like a fool and made him run around in circles.
He hates Gong Ye to death!
Feeling wronged and resentful, Gu Shanshan's eyes stung, and tears streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Jiang Ziheng felt a pang of heartache watching this, "Gong Ye, are you even a man? How could you bully me like this..."
"Shut up!"
Before he could finish speaking, Gong Ye interrupted him sharply, "This is between Gu Shanshan and me. Jiang Ziheng, if you dare to say another word, I'll kill you right now!"
Gu Shanshan couldn't stand seeing Gong Ye bullying Jiang Ziheng.
It was clearly Gong Ye's fault, so how could he threaten people so confidently?
Biting her lip, she choked back tears and cried, "Gong Ye, you're pushing me like this. Aren't you afraid that one day I'll lose my mind and jump off the building, or take a knife and sever my veins to die?"
Upon hearing that Gu Shanshan wanted to commit suicide, a crack appeared on Gong Ye's cold face.
He stared at Gu Shanshan with eyes full of hostility, gritting his teeth and cursing fiercely.
"If you dare to die without my orders, believe me, I'll kill you with my own hands!"
"I don't care what you think, Gu Shanshan, don't forget, you've already agreed to be with me. If you dare to go back on your word, I'll ruin you!"
As he spoke, he strode forward, intending to grab Gu Shanshan and hold her tightly in his arms.
He couldn't bear to see any distance between himself and Gu Shanshan, especially when they were arguing, as if there was some insurmountable chasm between them.
It made him feel annoyed and irritable.
At this moment, Gong Ye appeared to Gu Shanshan as a terrifying and frightening monster.
He resisted everything about Gong Ye, and when Gong Ye reached out to grab him, he instinctively turned and ran.
Gong Ye didn't expect Gu Shanshan to have the guts to run away, and his hand grasped nothing.
In that moment of stunned silence, Gu Shanshan had already run out of the open hospital room door.
"Damn it!"
With a gloomy face, Gong Ye cursed and opened the ward door, only to find that Gu Shanshan was already gone.
Damn it!
Gong Ye slammed his fist on the door frame, his face gloomy and eerie.
He took out his phone and called Assistant Wang, "Gu Shanshan has run away! Catch her and bring her here immediately!"
"Yes, Mr. Gong, I'll go right away."
Gong Ye's tone was irritable, and Assistant Wang didn't dare to ask any more questions.
After hanging up the phone, he immediately ordered the two bodyguards who had come with him to go find the person.
They only brought two bodyguards with them to the hospital this time, while Assistant Wang searched around the hospital himself.
Gu Shanshan didn't run out through the main entrance of the hospital; he ran out through the side entrance.
He had no idea why he was running; he just instinctively ran when he saw Gong Ye trying to grab him.
When Deng Ting descended, he himself had no idea where he was.
He had no phone or money on him, standing empty-handed at the crossroads, looking around blankly.
But misfortune never comes singly; a light drizzle began to fall from the sky.
Pedestrians on the roadside opened their umbrellas or sought shelter from the rain.
Gu Shanshan bit her lip and could only run to the eaves of a nearby house to take shelter from the rain.
But as time went on, the rain intensified and showed no signs of stopping.
As the sky grew darker, Gu Shanshan wrapped her coat tighter around herself.
The coat carried the cool, sandalwood scent of Gong Ye, the woody sandalwood perfume he used.
At this moment, it enveloped him, much like Gong Ye tightly embracing him.
Thinking back to when she left home, she and Gong Ye were still so close, but in less than half a day, everything had changed.
It was sunny when I went out, but now it's pouring rain.
As time went by, fewer and fewer pedestrians appeared on the road, and the sky grew darker and darker, but the rain showed no sign of stopping.
Gu Shanshan, wrapped in a coat, huddled under the sign for shelter from the rain at the bus stop, feeling chilled to the bone by the cold wind that accompanied the rain.
His lips were frozen purple, and his teeth were chattering.
[007, what should I do?]
Gu Shanshan was shivering with cold and had no choice but to ask the system for help.
He had no phone, no money, and no idea where he was.
【Host, you shouldn't have run away in the first place. Now I don't know what to do.】
Thinking about why she ran away, Gu Shanshan felt a surge of anger that she had nowhere to vent.
[If I don't run away, am I supposed to just wait to be caught by that bastard Gong Ye, dragged home, and locked up? I've already fallen out with him. Given how twisted he is, do you think he'll let me off the hook?]
Gu Shanshan strongly suspected that if he were caught by Gong Ye after discovering the truth, his fate would be very tragic.
007 spoke weakly, "But even if you run away now, your fate will still be miserable if you go back."
Gu Shanshan couldn't refute the system's words.
He moved his lips slightly and then let out a deep sigh.
Gazing at the rain, she spoke softly, "I wonder if Jiang Ziheng will get into trouble after I impulsively ran away?"
After speaking, he painfully scratched his hair.
He yelled, "So annoying!"
After yelling, he stood up, stared at the rain, and was about to walk outside.
The system didn't understand what Gu Shanshan was trying to do. [Host, what are you doing?]
What else could they do but feign injury?
After saying that, Gu Shanshan rushed into the rain.
Hopefully, when Gong Ye sees him with a cold and fever, he will feel pity and not use those terrible punishments on him.
The cold rain pelted down on her, quickly soaking Gu Shanshan completely.
After getting soaked in the rain, Gu Shanshan covered her nose and sneezed loudly.
Achoo...
He sniffed and sighed, "The effect is truly immediate."
He was soaked to the bone, his teeth were chattering from the cold, and his little face was deathly pale.
I walked straight to a small shop, asked for the address of the nearby police station, and then left.
【Host, what exactly do you want to do?】007 really doesn't understand.
"Can't you see? I'll go to the police station and have the police contact Gong Ye to come and pick me up. In a place with the police, no matter how angry Gong Ye is, he won't do anything to me. Besides, I'm already in such a bad state from being soaked in the rain, so even if Gong Ye really wants to bully me, he won't be able to do it."
After saying that, he sneezed loudly again.
Achoo!
He rubbed his stuffy nose. "And I reckon I'll get a fever when I get back. If I get a fever, I'll have to go to the hospital. Even if Gong Ye is angry, he'll have to consider that I'm a patient. He won't just ignore me. If I'm lucky, I might even see Jiang Ziheng at the hospital."
【Host, please don't get your hopes up too high.】
[Whatever, things will work themselves out. If Gong Ye weren't my target, given his terrible temper, I never want to see him again in my life.]
Gu Shanshan compromised only because Gong Ye was her target.
If it weren't for Gong Ye, he wouldn't have gone back.
On the way to the police station, you have to pass through a small alley.
Gu Shanshan looked at the alley, which was filthy and filled with muddy water.
There was a trash can inside, and after being soaked by the rain, it emitted a foul stench.
But the shopkeeper said it was the only road leading to the police station. Gu Shanshan suppressed her disgust, covered her nose, and rushed into the dirty alley.
The alley was long and narrow, and there was trash thrown inside. When Gu Shanshan rushed in, she smelled the stench so bad that she almost vomited.
They walked quickly, covering their mouths and noses, their shoes splashing up streams of dirty water as they stepped on the ground.
The rain was too heavy, and the night was dark. There were no streetlights in the alley, only at the beginning and end, making it extremely dim.
With visibility so low, Gu Shanshan tripped over something as she tried to rush out of the alley.
He stumbled forward, grabbed the wall to steady himself from falling flat on his face.
When I steadied myself and looked back, I met a pair of murky eyes.
Under the dim streetlights, it was clear that he was a beggar.
Gu Shanshan didn't pay attention, but the beggar's eyes widened the moment he saw Gu Shanshan's face clearly.
His eyes were almost bulging out, his mouth was open, and he was eager to say something, but he couldn't say anything.
It can only make the sound "uh-ah".
Gu Shanshan frowned, turned to leave, but the beggar rushed forward and grabbed her ankle tightly...
