In a daze, Gu Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Ruan's hand, almost instinctively pulling her into his arms.
Ye Ruan subconsciously pressed down on his IV drip hand with her other hand, afraid that he might pull her forcefully and hurt himself while he was not fully conscious, so she quickly rolled into his arms.
The familiar, soft scent fell into his arms, and Gu Chen sealed her lips with his without even opening his eyes.
Ye Ruan carefully protected his hand that had been pricked with needles, and before he could resist, she let him do as he pleased while he was half-asleep.
As the air in her lungs was gradually swallowed up, Ye Ruan felt weak and unable to concentrate.
The temperature in the room kept rising...
Just as Ye Ruan was panicking and knew she couldn't let Gu Chen continue like this, her phone rang.
Gu Chen stopped moving because of the phone ringing.
She quickly rolled over and broke free from Gu Chen's clutches, but as soon as she sat up, Gu Chen's hand gripped her wrist tightly.
She looked at Gu Chen, whose brows were slightly furrowed in distress. His voice was weak and aggrieved as he said, "Ruan Ruan, don't go..."
His pitiful appearance softened Ye Ruan's heart without her realizing it.
She instinctively wanted to tell Gu Chen that she wasn't leaving.
But looking at the incoming call display jumping around on the phone screen...
She softened her voice and said to Gu Chen, "Gu Chen, you wait here for me for a while, I'll be back soon."
After saying that, she got out of bed, quickly walked out of the room, and answered the phone, "Hello, brother."
She had barely finished speaking, and before she could even hear Ye Heng's response, a commotion broke out outside the courtyard.
Ye Ruan looked outside the courtyard and saw Gu Jing leading his men, their faces filled with menacing intent, blatantly surrounding the entire courtyard.
Qiu Shun stood at the door with a cold expression, confronting Gu Jing.
Ye Ruan avoided everyone's gaze and lowered her voice, "Brother, you succeeded, didn't you?"
Over there, Ye Heng didn't answer Ye Ruan's question. His calm voice simply said, "There are three doubles of Gu Chen being kept in the basement of the Gu family ancestral hall. Be careful."
After saying that, Ye Heng hung up the phone.
Ye Ruan glanced at the courtyard gate, where Qiu Shun was still confronting Gu Jing.
She walked down gracefully and unhurriedly, her voice clear and crisp as she asked Qiu Shun, "Uncle Qiu Shun, what happened? Why is Mr. Gu here again?"
Gu Jing looked at her with a sinister gaze. "The family heirloom that my Gu family kept in the ancestral hall has been stolen. Someone saw Miss Ye go to the ancestral hall. Please come with me, Miss Ye."
"Are you asking me to cooperate with your investigation?" Ye Ruan asked in a calm voice, her obsidian-like eyes dark and deep, revealing no emotion.
"Yes, Miss Ye, please don't make things difficult for us."
"Ha!" Ye Ruan lowered her head and sneered. When she looked up at Gu Jing again, her eyes were full of mockery. "Mr. Gu, the Qing Dynasty is long gone!"
We live in a society governed by the rule of law. If your family has lost a family heirloom, you should call the police and let them search and investigate.
Even if you suspect me, you should tell the police and let them investigate me.
Who gave you the right to arbitrarily summon people for investigation?!
Ye Ruan stared at Gu Jing with her cold, sharp eyes, and Gu Jing's expression darkened further.
They've been guarding their old family home for so many years, and although they know what's happening outside, they've always followed their own set of rules.
As the clan leader's right-hand man, he has been second only to the clan leader in the old mansion for many years. It's no exaggeration to say that he can get whatever he wants. No one has ever spoken to him like that before!
He narrowed his eyes slightly as he looked at Ye Ruan, his tone full of threat, "Miss Ye, are you saying you won't cooperate with us?"
Ye Ruan glanced at him and said coldly, "Mr. Gu, there's no need to threaten me. Now that something has gone missing from your house, and I'm the suspect you're looking for."
"Since you, as the homeowners, are unwilling to call the police, then let me, the suspect, call the police!"
As she spoke, she immediately took out her phone and dialed the police.
"You dare!" A more composed and powerful voice came from outside the courtyard. At the same time, a small pebble or something similar flew straight towards Ye Ruan's wrist, where she was holding her phone.
