Chapter Thirty-One: Dangers Abound
Shen Shuyun is very smart.
She knew that sharing joys and sorrows didn't necessarily foster a strong relationship.
However, sharing hardships can definitely foster a strong bond.
As long as she stays by Gu Tingxiao's side, she can get through this difficult period away from home.
She, the woman who shared joys and sorrows, was undoubtedly Mrs. Gu.
No matter who objects, it's useless.
When all those old fogies die.
Gu Tingxiao inherited the family business, and she became the mistress of the Gu family.
With all the family fortune in her hands, she could spend it however she wanted.
Then we'll see who dares to look down on her.
She wants everyone to be jealous of her, and all they can do is watch her throw money around and kneel down to fawn over her.
Thinking about the future, Shen Shuyun felt that the current hardships were nothing.
Her villa was taken back.
She found a two-bedroom apartment and supported Gu Tingxiao with her own money.
Gu Tingxiao was rejected in his job search and was dismissed without reason.
Shen Shuyun comforted him in return, like a considerate confidante.
Later, when Gu Tingxiao couldn't find a job, he decided to start his own business.
She bought him jewelry and bags to help him save up his initial capital.
Gu Tingxiao said, moved, that he would repay the debt a thousandfold when he became rich.
Touched, Shen Shuyun hugged him tightly and said she believed him.
But that little bit of money was all gone in less than a month.
Gu Tingxiao was used to spending money lavishly; his projects were all large-scale deals worth hundreds of millions.
The sudden appearance of only a few hundred thousand made Gu Tingxiao feel very uncomfortable.
Fortunately, he wasn't completely incompetent; he quickly adjusted the plan and invested the funds.
He finds making money in the physical industry too slow and requires too much capital, and he doesn't even consider small-scale operations.
Finally, he invested in stocks, intending to use financial leverage to make a quick buck.
The stock, which was doing well, suddenly plummeted, causing me to lose everything.
He never gives up; he just gets back up after he falls.
He sold off his possessions again and made other investments.
It was as if fate was against him; he lost money on every investment he made.
Gu Tingxiao wasn't stupid; he understood that someone was targeting him to prevent him from doing business.
He started to lower his expectations and began to think of other ways to make money.
Shen Shuyun reminded him helplessly that if things continued like this, they wouldn't even be able to afford next month's rent.
That's right, they squandered all the money they brought with them.
They were immediately penniless.
Shen Shuyun tried several times to stop Gu Tingxiao, but Gu Tingxiao's stubborn and self-willed nature meant he wouldn't listen to anything.
Shen Shuyun found a job as a dance teacher, earning four thousand yuan a month.
Not many, you could say very few.
This month's salary isn't even enough for Shen Shuyun to buy one face mask.
Shen Shuyun wanted to give up on Gu Tingxiao more than once, but she couldn't bear to.
She painstakingly snagged a wealthy husband, the only son of the Gu family.
It was her shortcut to success.
Who would be willing to accept the sudden loss of a sure-fire shortcut?
Shen Shuyun reluctantly endured it, putting up with those chattering, annoying students every day.
She still had to go back and face Gu Tingxiao, who had no job, no income, and yet had the temper of a spoiled young master.
At first, I could patiently coax her, but later I got so tired that I didn't even bother to coax her anymore.
When all that's left between husband and wife is trivial matters, then there's nothing left to say to each other.
They both knew they had problems before.
But they all pretended not to know.
Gu Tingxiao reluctantly took a job.
That was the job I used to do, playing the piano at the restaurant.
This was the beginning, the beginning of him bowing his noble head.
He plays the piano in restaurants, tutors elementary school students, and also works part-time in other places.
He has to work three jobs every day and is always busy.
He's either on his way to work or on his way to work.
Gu Tingxiao, this aloof and otherworldly nobleman, has finally fallen to the dust.
He began to calculate how to travel legally, how to increase his income while reducing his expenses, and how to save up for rent if he could earn legitimate income.
In just over a month, he learned more than he had in the previous twenty-odd years.
They learned to survive, not to live.
He then realized how difficult it was for some people to make money.
He knew these things before, but none of them were as vivid in his memory as those he had experienced firsthand.
He dragged his tired body home, only to find a group of menacing-looking people inside.
After an explanation, they learned that some of the money they had lost was obtained by Shen Shuyun through loans.
After much persuasion, they finally left. I asked for a few more days, and they promised to pay me back soon.
Shen Shuyun cried and begged him to go back and apologize, saying that they would have money to pay back the debt.
Having no other choice, Gu Tingxiao agreed, and the two planned to seek help from the Gu family.
The family can't just stand by and watch them get their legs broken over such a small amount of money.
They took a taxi there, but taxis are not allowed to enter this area.
Having no other option, the two had to get out of the car and hike up the mountain.
Gu Tingxiao was exhausted from climbing the mountain.
He thought that once he regained control of the Gu family, he would definitely move the old house to the city center, so that he wouldn't have to go back home and almost break his legs from exhaustion.
They had climbed halfway up when suddenly a group of people rushed towards them.
At first, they thought that Xia Chenggan had sent people to stop him from returning.
Upon closer inspection, it became clear that these people were all masked and carrying weapons.
They charged at them menacingly, either to stop them or to kill them.
Seeing that something was wrong, Gu Tingxiao grabbed Shen Shuyun and ran down the mountain.
The group of people chased after them frantically.
"Murder!"
Gu Tingxiao shouted for help, knowing that Xia Chengqian would definitely arrange bodyguards to follow them for protection.
It looked like the group of people were about to catch up with them.
Two bodyguards in black rushed out of the forest and confronted the group.
The moment the two sides clashed, they unleashed deadly attacks, and blood gushed out.
As a domineering CEO who has had a smooth and successful career, he has rarely seen such scenes.
Gu Tingxiao was stunned for a moment before he realized what was happening.
Two bodyguards are no match for more than a dozen people on the other side.
Once the two bodyguards are injured, they will become hostages, and their fate will be even more tragic than before.
He forced himself to regain control of his body as quickly as possible and leave.
Pulling the stunned Shen Shuyun along, he quickly ran down the mountain.
He walked while taking out his phone to call for help.
Calling your own family and having someone come down from the mountain to rescue you will be faster than calling the police directly.
"Huff, help?! I'm on a highway halfway up the mountain, and there are more than a dozen people chasing us. The people protecting me are holding them off, but they'll catch up with us soon."
Gu Tingxiao quickly told his father about his situation.
"Find a place to hide, I'll send someone over right away."
Gu Tingxiao hung up the phone and looked down the mountain road ahead, and at the assassins who were faintly following him.
With a determined look, he pulled Shen Shuyun toward the woods by the roadside.
There is only one road down the mountain.
If they keep running, they will eventually be overtaken by the people behind them.
They only have two legs; who knows what's behind them?
What they need to do now is buy time to protect themselves and wait for the Gu family to come to their rescue.
Gu Tingxiao begins the battle royale scenario.
Xia Chengping has returned home.
He went there full of enthusiasm, but returned disappointed.
The fight didn't even happen, and I ended up encountering a brainless and violent woman.
Despite Xia Chengping's penchant for violence, he actually dislikes violent women; perhaps it's a case of same-sex repulsion.
Xia Cheng'an returned shortly after, followed by a disheveled woman covered in paint.
It was that girl who took the initiative to ask for help at the hunting grounds.
Xia Cheng'an proposed to take people with him.
The manager reluctantly informed them that the woman was brought by Young Master Zhou and his group.
They have no right to release people from their hunting grounds.
Xia Cheng'an directly instructed the steward to call Zhou Chao.
The other party readily agreed, saying that if they wanted to take the person away, they had to complete a challenge game, and if they won, they could take the person away.
Xia Chengping would definitely find it interesting and agree.
Xia Cheng'an wasn't having any of it and immediately gave him the cold shoulder.
Who do you think you are? Do you think I need to follow your rules to take someone away?
After a few seconds of hesitation, the other party agreed to take the person away.
"Hey you, go to that room over there and take a shower and change your clothes."
Xia Cheng'an gestured for the girl to wash up herself, disgusted by her filth.
The girl nodded and obediently went to the guest room to take a shower.
Xia Cheng'an then went upstairs to see Xia Chengping.
He saw the message Xia Chengping had sent him on his phone.
I need to exchange information with Xia Chengping and explain in detail what happened today.
After listening to Xia Chengping's words.
Xia Cheng'an was puzzled. What a coincidence! Something happened to him, and then something happened to the boxing club.
He picked up the woman who was crying for help over here, and there was a rose with thorns over at the boxing club.
Don't be too targeted.
If it weren't for the fact that the two of them suddenly decided to switch identities today...
Xia Cheng'an's eyes were deep and dangerous.
He was smarter than Xia Chengping; he could see the essence behind the surface.
If they hadn't switched back, those two women might have left a deep impression on them.
I wonder what their purpose is? It's definitely not a good thing.
He was curious to hear what the woman he had brought back had to say.
"Is my older brother back?"
Xia Cheng'an asked Xia Chengping.
"I don't know. I found out he didn't reply to my messages, and he didn't answer my calls. His company assistant said he wasn't at the company."
"No, send bodyguards to find them."
"You mean my brother is in danger?"
"It's possible that what we're dealing with today is not simple."
"I'll send someone to look for it right away."
Xia Chengan instructed, "Bring plenty of men, don't leave anyone behind."
"knew."
Xia Chengping quickly went downstairs to arrange for someone to be found. As a brother-obsessed man, his older brother's safety was far more important than his own.
Back to Xia Chenggan, he left Zhou Ran's villa and was on his way back.
He casually flipped through the documents in his hand while in the car.
He inadvertently noticed something at his feet.
It was pink, which clashed with his brown leather floor.
Xia Chenggan reached out to grab the object, but it had fallen too far in, and he almost had to lie down to reach it.
In the few seconds he bent over, there was a sound of glass shattering.
Glass shattered, and something brushed against his face and fell.
A sharp pain shot through my face.
He looked down and saw a shard of broken glass.
His body reacted faster than his brain; he quickly lay down on the ground and hid in the gap under the seat.
With a loud crash, the whole world began to shake violently.
Xia Chenggan held on tightly to the seat, fixing himself to the ground to prevent himself from rolling away with the jolts.
His mind clearly told him that someone was attacking him and wanted to kill him.
While actively trying to save himself, he still had the mind to look at the thing that had saved his life.
He smiled when he saw what it was; he really is a lucky star.
