Chapter 162: The Case of the Capture
Chu Nanxin was also released. She looked haggard, with her hair scattered messily on her face.
Outside the Chu Mansion, a simple carriage was parked quietly. The driver sat on the shaft with his head lowered, and his expression could not be seen clearly.
Chu Nanxin looked at the carriage and realized that his fate was already determined and he would die sooner or later.
What difference does it make where you go?
She climbed into the carriage numbly, and as soon as she sat down, a strong hand suddenly reached out and grabbed her neck fiercely.
Chu Nanxin widened his eyes, and when he saw that the person who was strangling him was Gu Chengyan, his eyes were replaced by a complex emotion.
She looked at Gu Chengyan's familiar face, and countless past events of their time together flashed through her mind.
There was no sweet past between them, only her wishful thinking.
Forget it, it would be good to die in his hands, and my miserable life will end.
Chu Nanxin slowly closed her eyes, gave up struggling, and let Gu Chengyan's hands pinch her tighter and tighter.
Her breathing became more and more difficult, and her consciousness gradually became blurred. Just when she was about to die, Gu Chengyan suddenly let go of her hand.
A large amount of air suddenly rushed into Chu Nanxin's lungs. He gasped violently and coughed constantly. His body trembled violently because of the suffocation just now.
She slumped in the corner of the carriage, staring blankly at the roof.
Gu Chengyan looked at her like this, but the hatred in his heart did not dissipate.
It would be too easy for her to be strangled to death like this.
His eyes were cold, as if covered with frost, and he said coldly: "Do you think it's over? It's not that easy."
Chu Nanxin did not respond, but just listened quietly.
The carriage started slowly, the wheels rolled on the stone road, making a "gurgling" sound, and swayed forward.
Outside the car window, the scenery kept receding, and Chu Nanxin's heart was filled with dead silence...
After Chu Ruohan returned to Hongmeng Courtyard, Aunt Fang's words kept echoing in her mind.
Who is the master behind Chu Ang?
And there is the ink block used by Gu Junze. The difference between the two is definitely not a coincidence. Chu Ang must know that the ink block is adulterated.
After much thought, could it be that Gu's mother had a deal with the master behind Chu Ang?
Mother Gu has gone crazy, and Nanny Wang is dead. It will be difficult to investigate now?
"Han'er..."
Gu Junze raised his voice, and Chu Ruohan suddenly came back to her senses.
"What are you thinking about? Why are you so absent-minded?" Gu Junze frowned slightly and asked softly.
Chu Ruohan took a deep breath and after hesitating for a moment, decided to express all the doubts in her heart.
"Mrs. Fang said there's a master behind Chu Ang, and I thought about the ink block incident..."
Gu Junze listened quietly and felt that this could not be done by Gu's mother.
He already had a suspicion in his mind, but he couldn't say it out loud.
"Things will work out in the end. That person is in the dark, so he won't let you guess easily..." Gu Junze's voice was gentle.
But Chu Ruohan was still immersed in her own thoughts, muttering to herself: "Every noble family in the capital is wealthy and has their own businesses."
"Logically speaking, there's no shortage of money. What are you trying to do with all this money?"
Gu Junze suddenly stood up using his hands to support the wheelchair.
Chu Ruohan widened her eyes and stared at Gu Junze, her eyes full of disbelief.
Gu Junze met her gaze and took a few steps forward. However, his legs were still weak, and after a few steps, his body leaned forward uncontrollably, as if about to fall.
Chu Ruohan reacted very quickly. She rushed forward and held him firmly. Her hands tightly grasped his arms, and her voice was filled with excitement and surprise: "You... your leg is healed?"
Gu Junze panted slightly and calmed his breathing. "I'm not fully recovered yet. I can just stand up, but I still can't walk like a normal person."
Chu Ruohan helped Gu Junze sit down again and comforted him softly: "Being able to stand up is a great thing. Take it slow, and you will get better."
But before she could finish her words, Gu Junze suddenly reached out and pulled her onto his lap.
Chu Ruohan screamed, subconsciously struggling to get down, and said anxiously: "Your leg is not healed yet, don't do anything rash!"
She was worried that her weight would put a burden on Gu Junze's legs, which had not yet healed.
"It's okay." Gu Junze hugged her tightly, and increased the strength in his arms.
"Those aristocratic families have many businesses that are not open to the public," Gu Junze continued, "but I have a way that may be able to lure them out of their hole."
"What method?"
"Spread the news that my leg has healed..." Before Gu Junze could finish his words, he was suddenly interrupted by Chu Ruohan.
"No!" she almost blurted out, "Your legs have finally been able to stand up again. You can't take any risks."
"This matter must be kept secret until you are completely healed."
Gu Junze smiled slightly, Han'er thought the same as he did.
He had originally planned to keep it a secret, even from Chu Ruohan, thinking that he would give her a surprise after his leg was completely healed.
It's just that seeing her so worried just now, I subconsciously...
"Don't worry, I won't put myself in danger."
Gu Junze lowered his head and kissed her affectionately.
The two of them hadn't been so close for a long time. Chu Ruohan slowly closed her eyes and immersed herself in this sweet atmosphere.
Just when the two were in love, the door was pushed open with a creak.
"Mom!" A cry of surprise broke the beauty in the house.
Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan separated instantly and looked towards the door in astonishment.
Gu Yun ran over with his short legs swinging, "Daddy, does Mommy's mouth taste good?"
As soon as these childish words came out, the astonishment on Gu Junze and Chu Ruohan's faces instantly turned into embarrassment and awkwardness, and their faces turned red all the way to their ears.
Chu Ruohan was embarrassed and anxious, but it was difficult for her to lose her temper in front of the child. She could only reach out and gently cover Gu Yun's mouth, scolding him, "Brother Yun, stop talking nonsense!"
Gu Yun blinked his big watery eyes, looking innocent, "Oh."
Although Gu Yun responded verbally, his little head was still full of doubts.
He stretched out his little hand, gently pulled Chu Ruohan's sleeve, looked up and asked, "Mom, what were you doing just now? Why is the door still closed?"
Chu Ruohan was speechless for a moment and didn't know how to explain to the child.
Why does he have so many questions?
Gu Junze chuckled and teased her deliberately, "Yeah, why are you closing the door?"
The tone was somewhat teasing, and the eyes were full of mischief.
Chu Ruohan didn't expect that he, who was always calm and steady, had such a side to him. She felt embarrassed and annoyed, and glared at him fiercely, blaming him in her heart for causing trouble at this time.
Have to find a way to fool it?
In the end, Gu Junze took him to practice calligraphy...
