My ankles were tied, but I still kicked him with all my might.
Caught off guard, he was kicked in the chest and staggered.
I seized the opportunity to immediately pull my legs back, curling them into a tight ball, and moved towards the edge of the bed while defending myself.
Gu Yanqing rubbed his chest, turned to look at me, then knelt down and pounced on me.
"Jiang Wan, your resistance makes me wonder if you've ever truly loved me all these years! Did you just see me as a lifeline? So when Su Shenglin came along, when you found a better lifeline than me, you threw yourself into his arms without batting an eye!"
Gu Yanqing gritted his teeth and shouted menacingly while roughly tearing at my clothes.
I sneered inwardly, thinking to myself that he wasn't completely stupid.
I only realized this problem after Su Shenglin pointed it out to me, and he actually figured it out on his own.
It seems he's been thinking a lot about our relationship lately.
"Gu Yanqing, think about your future! If you really do something to me, you'll end up like Gu Yutian, in jail! It's not too late to stop now, I can..."
"Knock knock knock!"
"Knock knock knock!"
"Open the door!"
Before I could finish speaking, I suddenly heard a heavy banging on the door, followed by familiar Chinese voices.
Su Shenglin!
It must be Su Shenglin who came looking for us!
Gu Yanqing froze, turned to look at the door, and then turned back to look at me.
"That guy surnamed Su actually found me so quickly!" He gritted his teeth, staring at me with a ferocious grin, then suddenly leaned down and tried to kiss me like a madman!
I used all my strength, pressing my hands firmly against him.
The rope was constricting my wrists, and I felt like my skin was being ripped apart. The intense pain made me tremble all over, but I still dared not relax.
People outside shouted for a long time but couldn't get the car to open, so they started to ram it.
Enraged and humiliated by his failed scheme, Gu Yanqing brutally slapped the man across the face, then swiftly got up and opened the window.
I was dizzy and in so much pain that I was losing consciousness. I didn't have time to care whether he was trying to escape or how he was going to escape.
With a loud crash, the room door was violently kicked open.
A group of burly men rushed in.
Most of them have Western faces.
But behind them, a familiar handsome face appeared, filled with anxiety and fear in his eyes.
"Jiang Wan!" Su Shenglin strode towards me, and when he reached the bedside, he reached out and pulled up the sheet to shield me from my disheveled state.
I was still trembling all over, not from fear, but because the confrontation with Gu Yanqing had exhausted me. The trembling in my limbs was just a natural muscle reaction.
"Jiang Wan, how are you? Are you hurt? Don't be afraid, I'm here..." Su Shenglin hugged me tightly, comforting me repeatedly, and then apologized profusely, "I'm sorry... it was my negligence, I shouldn't have let you out of my sight..."
Many more people poured into the house afterward, searching the entire place.
But nothing was gained.
Su Shenglin and someone brought a dagger and cut the ropes binding my hands and feet.
The tight straps were worn for too long, causing severe bruising.
Especially her wrists, which were bleeding from the struggle with Gu Yanqing earlier.
“He escaped from there—” I pointed to the window and said in a hoarse voice.
Then someone immediately turned and left, presumably to search for Gu Yanqing.
Many people left the room, leaving only Xiao Yang and three others.
However, seeing Su Shenglin holding me tightly, Xiao Yang turned around and went out with the three others, standing guard at the door.
"I'm fine..." After calming down a bit, I began to comfort Su Shenglin.
I know that he must have been in more pain and had a harder time than I was during this period.
"Su Shenglin, I'm fine, it's just a superficial injury..." I cupped his face and emphasized again.
Su Shenglin nodded, looked at me with deep, trembling eyes, and then let out a long sigh of relief, "It's good that you're alright... Did he do anything to you?"
“He wanted to, but didn’t have time—” I answered, but something suddenly occurred to me, and I stared at him and asked, “If he really did something to me, would you… break up with me?”
I thought that if Gu Yanqing had defiled me, he would feel somewhat uncomfortable.
"What nonsense are you talking about? I asked him if he did anything to you, not because I disliked you, but because I was worried that you would be hurt and traumatized."
Su Shenglin stared at me and explained seriously.
I pursed my lips, staring intently into his eyes.
As if afraid I wouldn't believe him, he explained again: "I don't even care about your divorce, why would I care about these things? Besides, if those things really happened, you would be the victim, and I would only feel sorry for you."
“Su Shenglin…” I looked at him, my eyes suddenly reddening.
Even after being treated like that by Gu Yanqing, I didn't feel like crying, but at this moment, I can't help but burst into tears.
"Su Shenglin!" I called out again, opening my arms to hug him tightly.
He hugged me back tightly with the same force.
Xiao Yang knocked on the door and came in, whispering, "Mr. Su, it's late, let's leave here first."
"Um."
Su Shenglin responded, stood up, took off his coat, and draped it over me.
"Come here, let me hug you." He reached out his hand to me.
I shook my head slightly. "No need, I can walk by myself."
"Your leg is injured."
"It's just a superficial injury, nothing serious." I helped him get off the bed, and his numb legs gradually returned to normal.
Su Shenglin adjusted his coat to make sure it covered me completely, then hugged me tightly as we left together.
After going downstairs, there were many people standing on the street outside.
