Chapter 259 He’s coming?
Chu Ruohan looked at the exquisite chestnut cake in front of her and sighed softly.
Ever since I casually said that I loved chestnut cake the most that day, a plate of it has been a must for every meal in this villa.
Unfortunately, she didn't want to eat a single bite now. She was only worried about the safety of her parents in the capital.
Gu Chengyan imprisoned her in this villa and had no intention of letting her out.
He was like a beast tamer, trying to wear down her temper bit by bit and tame her!
"Madam, it's time to change the medicine." The maid walked in quietly, breaking the silence in the room.
Chu Ruohan came back to her senses and said "hmm" softly.
The maid squatted on the ground, gently took off Chu Ruohan's shoes and socks, and applied the ointment evenly on Chu Ruohan's ankles.
Chu Ruohan watched her movements in deep thought.
When the maid packed up her things and left, Chu Ruohan called her.
"I'm so bored here. I have nothing to do all day and I feel very depressed. Can you find me some needle and thread? I want to embroider a handkerchief to kill time." Chu Ruohan's tone was full of anticipation.
The maid was stunned for a moment, then nodded and replied, "Madam, I'll get it right away."
After a while, the maid returned hurriedly, holding a sewing box in her hands. In the box were all the necessary needles and threads, as well as a few strands of brightly colored silk thread.
"Thank you." Chu Ruohan took it and gently stroked the soft silk thread with her fingertips.
Gu Chengyan pushed the door open and saw this scene. He sneered, "He's here."
A look of joy appeared on Chu Ruohan's face.
"My eldest brother is really an outstanding person. After all, it's all because he has a good mother." Gu Chengyan said in a sarcastic tone with a hint of barely perceptible jealousy.
Chu Ruohan raised her eyes to look at him, her gaze clear, "Gu Chengyan, are you still going to struggle?"
Gu Chengyan was amused by the confidence in her eyes and asked, "Are you so sure that I will lose?"
Chu Ruohan didn't answer, but the expression on her face said it all.
Gu Chengyan's face darkened and he roughly pulled Chu Ruohan's arm.
"Then come with me and take a look!"
Chu Ruohan stood up with the help of his force, and the embroidery needle hidden in her sleeve flashed a cold light in the sunlight.
Gu Chengyan took Chu Ruohan to a high ground where they could overlook the entire layout of the manor.
"See? Over there, and over there, they're all my people."
Gu Chengyan pointed at a few seemingly ordinary courtyards, and said with a hint of pride, "Do you think Gu Junze can escape unscathed?"
Chu Ruohan's eyes swept over those places, and her heart sank slightly.
She knew that what Gu Chengyan said was true, and the defense here was indeed tight.
However, she still believed in Gu Junze.
"He can," she whispered, her voice small but remarkably firm.
Gu Chengyan sneered, "You seem to have a lot of confidence in him."
Seeing her silence, Gu Chengyan raised a mocking smile on his lips: "Why, you're not talking anymore? Have you finally understood that Gu Junze is bound to lose this time?"
"You're dreaming." Chu Ruohan glanced at him sideways, not disguising the disgust in her eyes, "Gu Chengyan, you're really disgusting."
Gu Chengyan's smile froze on his face, anger boiling in his chest, but when he looked at Chu Ruohan's eyes that flashed with determination, a sense of powerlessness surged in his heart.
"I'm disgusting?" Gu Chengyan sneered and shook his head. "Then Gu Junze is noble? He's just lucky. If I had recovered my memories of my past life earlier, he wouldn't have mattered."
When Chu Ruohan heard this, she suddenly laughed: "Gu Junze has been paralyzed for many years, and you say he is lucky? Why don't you try it yourself and experience the feeling of helplessness."
"If it weren't for Gu Junze, I would rather marry Gu Cheng'an," she stared at Gu Chengyan fiercely, "and I would never choose you."
Gu Chengyan's expression suddenly changed, and he grabbed Chu Ruohan's wrist: "Is that loser Gu Chengan worthy of this?"
Chu Ruohan frowned in pain, but did not retreat: "It is still a hundred times better than a cold-blooded animal like you."
Just then, a guard came running over and whispered something in Gu Chengyan's ear.
Gu Chengyan's eyes flashed with excitement, and then he sneered: "It seems that your Gu Junze is really here."
Chu Ruohan's eyes lit up and her heart beat faster involuntarily.
Gu Junze found this place!
"Keep an eye on my madam," Gu Chengyan ordered, "I want to go and meet my good brother in person."
Two guards stepped forward, held Chu Ruohan on the left and right, and forcibly took her back to the room.
Chu Ruohan struggled, but her wrist was gripped so hard that it hurt. She knew that it was futile to resist with brute force at this moment.
After being brought back to the room, the guard slammed the door shut and Chu Ruohan heard the sound of it being locked.
"Jun Ze..." she called softly, her fingers unconsciously clenching the embroidery needle in her sleeve.
On the mountain road, Gu Junze and several shadow guards advanced cautiously. They had discovered that there were a large number of guards ambushing around the villa, so they had to act with caution.
"Prince, there are two guards fifty steps ahead." Ying San reported in a low voice.
Gu Junze nodded, his eyes sharp: "Avoid them."
They advanced slowly under the cover of the trees. The mountain wind rustled the leaves, providing them with a natural shield.
"Sir, look!" Ying Qi suddenly pointed to a distant courtyard. "There are bright lights over there. This might be where the young lady is being held captive."
Gu Junze looked in the direction he pointed, and something clicked in his mind. That courtyard was indeed unique, and the surrounding area was heavily guarded, clearly a place of special importance.
"Split up." Gu Junze ordered in a low voice, "Ying San, take the others to attract the guards' attention, I'll go rescue them."
"Yes!" The shadow guards responded in unison and then dispersed.
Gu Junze sneaked towards the villa alone.
Years of life in a wheelchair have given him upper limb strength far exceeding that of ordinary people, making climbing and climbing easy for him.
He was like a leopard walking at night, approaching his target silently.
However, just as he was about to climb over the courtyard wall, several guards suddenly rushed out from the darkness and surrounded him.
"Hey, long time no see, big brother." Gu Chengyan slowly walked out of the darkness with a smile of victory on his face.
Gu Junze looked at him coldly, with murderous intent in his eyes: "You are really here, let Han'er go."
"Are you in such a hurry to see her?" Gu Chengyan said with a smile, "Don't worry, I'll take you to see her right away. But..."
His tone suddenly turned cold, "Whether I meet you alive or as a corpse depends on your performance."
The guards stepped forward, holding sharp blades, and surrounded Gu Junze.
Gu Junze's hand was already on the hilt of the sword, ready to draw the sword and fight at any time.
"Do you think you can beat me?" Gu Junze sneered, "Gu Chengyan, you will never win."
