Chapter 170 I Know You're Wronged
He knew that coming to Country A would be dangerous, but he didn't know they were so impatient that they made their move on the way to the airport, preventing him from shaking off Su Hengyi.
It implicated Su Hengyi.
Mu Guangcheng sat on the ground, stretching out his numb legs. "Is anyone outside?"
"I looked around and didn't see anyone."
"Is this a way of tying us up and leaving us to fend for ourselves?"
Su Hengyi frowned slightly and calmly analyzed, "It's not that simple. It's just a simple kidnapping, there's no need to go abroad."
Mu Guangcheng nodded knowingly.
Indeed, if it were just a simple kidnapping, it could be done in the capital. Just tie them up and throw them into a mountain to fend for themselves.
But the other party went to great lengths to lure him abroad before kidnapping him.
This isn't a simple kidnapping; the other party could very well be...
He wanted to kill someone.
After all, in Country A, killing two people who were completely unfamiliar with the place silently and burying their bodies deep in the mountains would make them impossible for anyone to find.
Mu Guangcheng struggled against the ropes. "No matter what, I won't let anything happen to you. They're probably just targeting me."
"Can you tell me about your family?"
Upon hearing Su Hengyi's words, the light in Mu Guangcheng's eyes instantly dimmed, and he fell silent.
Clearly unwilling to speak, the proud Mu Guangcheng was still unwilling for Su Hengyi to pry into his wretched past, the darkness and filth he buried in the darkest part of his heart, which he did not want to see the light of day.
Su Hengyi didn't insist. He knelt down and then stood up, changing the subject, "Want to come and see the environment we're in?"
"good."
Mu Guangcheng stood up in the same way as Su Hengyi. Because his hands and feet were tied, his balance was not very good, and he swayed and almost fell when he stood up.
Su Hengyi supported him with his shoulder.
To ease the tension, Mu Guangcheng joked, "They're really arrogant. Tying us up like this, aren't they afraid we'll escape? The window isn't sealed, we can—"
Mu Guangcheng wanted to suggest that they could jump out, but when he peered down from the window, he saw a layer of iron mesh on the ground.
"What's this?"
"The power grid is preventing us from escaping."
"grass."
Mu Guangcheng's eyes lit up again, "Look at all these discarded wooden planks around us, we still have hope."
Su Hengyi thought that if the other party wanted to trap them, they wouldn't give them a chance.
But when he saw the light in Mu Guangcheng's eyes, he swallowed those cruel words.
He looked at Mu Guangcheng earnestly, "I will always be with you."
Whether it's life or death.
Mu Guangcheng suddenly jumped behind Su Hengyi, "You lie on the window, I'll help you bite the rope open."
"This is a dead end."
Moreover, the rope was as thick as an arm, so biting it through was simply impractical.
"How will you know if you don't try? Hurry up and lie down there."
Su Heng hesitated for a moment before leaning against the window and raising his hand slightly upwards. "Don't force yourself."
About ten minutes passed.
Mu Guangcheng sat on the ground, panting, with sweat beading on his face. "This rope hurt my teeth. It's really tough."
As Su Hengyi watched the sky darken, he sat down next to Mu Guangcheng, his face shrouded in shadow.
After a while, Su Hengyi said, "Look at me."
"Hmm, look at you—"
What are you doing?
Mu Guangcheng did not utter those three words.
Su Hengyi's hands were tied up, so he couldn't press his head down like before. Mu Guangcheng tilted his head back until it was a distance that Su Hengyi couldn't catch up with.
He then pulled away from his lips.
Mu Guangcheng looked at Su Hengyi, who was so hungry he was practically leaning over, with a mischievous smile.
On the contrary, the person being watched seemed unconcerned and stared directly into Mu Guangcheng's eyes.
They have absolutely no idea how to write the word "shame".
"No way, what are you thinking?"
Mu Guangcheng suddenly leaned in again, placing his lips near Su Hengyi's ear, his voice low and wicked, "Are you thinking about being... with me?"
Su Heng glanced at Mu Guangcheng's smooth neck and asked, "You know about these things?"
Mu Guangcheng blushed and said, "I... I found a boyfriend, so I have to check him out."
Taking the opportunity, Su Heng whispered in his ear, "I understand, want to give it a try?"
"Screw you, get lost. At a time like this, you're still thinking about these things. Hey, aren't you hungry?"
"There's no food here, but... I can give you some protein."
"What protein?! Holy crap!"
Mu Guangcheng stared at Su Hengyi in shock, then bumped his head against him. "Seriously? Su Hengyi, what's in your head? You can even drive this!"
"Can't you drive?"
Mu Guangcheng immediately retorted, "Do you want me to give you an injection, to inject the protein directly into your body? I still have some, I..."
His lips were kissed.
The two talked and joked, then kissed without restraint, as the night deepened.
The temperature difference between day and night in the mountains is huge, and they huddled together in a small corner, hiding behind a wooden plank to block the wind.
Mu Guangcheng seemed tired, so he rested his head on Su Hengyi's shoulder and fell asleep.
They spent three days snuggling together.
On the fourth day, Su Heng started to have a fever because he always sat in the wind to shield Mu Guangcheng from the wind, and it had been raining and the temperature had dropped in the past few days.
His face was flushed from the fever as he lay on Mu Guangcheng's lap, mumbling incoherently, "I'm a burden to you."
Mu Guangcheng couldn't even hug Su Hengyi, saying, "What nonsense are you talking about? I'm the one who's dragging you down."
"Mu Guangcheng".
"Um?"
Seeing Su Hengyi so weak, Mu Guangcheng's eyes ached, but he was extremely dehydrated, and even crying felt like a luxury.
I want to hear you say you love me.
"I'll tell you when you're better."
"But I really want to hear it, I'm afraid if I die—"
"What nonsense are you talking about! You won't die, I won't let you die."
Su Hengyi smiled through his parched lips, his coldness vanishing, replaced by a gentle smile. "Then I'll tell you."
I won't listen.
Looking at Su Hengyi, whose breath was so weak and who seemed about to die at any moment, Mu Guangcheng was terrified. He was so afraid that Su Hengyi would leave him as if he were giving his last words.
Su Hengyi's gentle and weak voice asked, "Why don't you listen?"
“Before my grandma passed away, she would always talk about me. She would say, ‘Chengcheng, what do you want Grandma to do so you will study well?’ I found her so annoying, but she would always give me those long lectures on education. She spent her whole life teaching and nurturing students, and her students are all over the world. But she ended up with a rebellious grandson like me, a grandson who won’t listen to anything she says.”
Mu Guangcheng suppressed his sobs, lowered his head, and pressed his cool face against Su Hengyi's burning forehead.
Su Hengyi gently rubbed his forehead against her skin. "I know you're feeling wronged too."
Mu Guangcheng was stunned for a moment, and then tears instantly streamed down his face.
When his grandmother passed away, everyone blamed him, including the man he called his father, who slapped him several times.
The insults and accusations were so severe, they all came at him.
The whole world says it's his fault, that he was naughty and willful, that he was depraved and reckless.
But no one said it like Su Hengyi did: you are also wronged.
Even he himself didn't feel that he should feel wronged. He carried this sin, and even feeling wronged felt like a knife stabbing into his heart.
Remind him how unworthy he is.
Mu Guangcheng's emotions, fueled by the pent-up fear of the past few days, finally collapsed. He cried in a hoarse voice, like an unwanted child.
Su Hengyi sat up despite his burning fever and aches all over his body, and rested his chin on Mu Guangcheng's shoulder.
"Cry, Mu Guangcheng. When you're sad, my shoulder will always be there for you."
Their arms were bound, yet their embrace was more powerful than ever.
Su Hengyi couldn't remember when Mu Guangcheng stopped crying, just as he couldn't remember when he fell asleep.
When he woke up, he was no longer in that dilapidated and dirty factory. He was lying in a tent, covered in sweat, as if his fever had subsided after receiving an antipyretic injection.
His hands and feet have been untied.
Su Heng instinctively reached out to touch his side, where he saw bruises and marks from being tied up, but he found nothing.
Mu Guangcheng was not by his side.
The usually calm Su Heng panicked. He stepped out of the tent and saw a teenager sitting in a chair, with two bodyguards behind him.
The boy still had a baby face. "You're looking for my brother? Just run west, and you'll be out of this forest. If you're too late, you won't be able to see him one last time."
Su Hengyi's pupils contracted. He no longer had the mind to interrogate the boy who had suddenly appeared here, so he ran desperately westward.
The bodyguard looked down at Mu Yang, "Young Master, why...?"
Why wait here for the person in the tent to wake up? Why tell him where Mu Guangcheng is?
When Mu Yang smiled, a small tiger tooth appeared, so cute, but the words he spoke were chilling: "You know, when my brother died, he saw the people he loved fighting for him. How reluctant he must have been to leave this world. Unfortunately, even if he was reluctant, he had to die. After all, the will stated that I could only inherit the family fortune after my brother's death."
The bodyguard felt a chill down his spine.
They call each other "brother" so affectionately, yet they still fight tooth and nail for the family fortune.
The wealthy and powerful certainly have many secrets.
Even though the eldest son agreed to sign the waiver of his inheritance, the second son, being suspicious and distrustful, still wanted the eldest son dead.
Su Heng ran desperately, ignoring the intense pain in his heart, and finally broke out of the forest.
On the edge of a cliff, a group of men in black stood, and Mu Guangcheng was fighting with them.
Su Heng ran over and hugged the weakened Mu Guangcheng, shielding him behind him.
Mu Guangcheng said weakly, "Mu Yang said that as long as I beat them and sign the agreement to give up my inheritance, he will let me go. I want to go back to school. I want to study finance. Su Hengyi, let's get out of here alive and get married when it's legal."
Su Hengyi knew things weren't that simple, but he was prepared to die with Mu Guangcheng.
Without hesitation, he agreed, "Okay, I'll go with you. We'll definitely win."
