"You must now know my situation."
The Yong'an Marquis's mansion is a den of wolves and tigers to me. In order to protect myself, I must make plans for myself.
If you had arrived earlier, I certainly wouldn't have…
Gu Jingchun began to sob again as he spoke.
Shen Hechuan remained silent for a moment before holding her in his arms and gently comforting her.
"It was my fault."
"It's my fault for not discovering you sooner."
"However, it's not too late now."
"With me here, I will never let you marry anyone else."
"Don't worry, I will definitely find a solution."

Meanwhile, on the other side...
Lan Xin was going crazy with worry because she couldn't find Gu Jingchun.
Just as she was at a loss and wanted to secretly send a signal to find someone, she saw Gu Jingchun come out from next door.
A man came out with her.
At this moment, Gu Jingchun's eyes were red and swollen, and his steps were unsteady.
Lanxin was startled.
Without thinking twice, he rushed over to help the person up.
"Miss, are you alright?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
Lan Xin glanced at the man again, but this time she met his cold eyes.
That look, so commanding, made Lan Xin lower her eyes and gasp.
Gu Jingchun, supported by Lan Xin, slowly descended the stairs.
Once they were on the carriage, Lanxin was about to ask what had happened when Gu Jingchun spoke up.
"Don't ask anything, hurry back home."
After returning home.
Gu Jingchun immediately called Xiaoman over.
Seeing that Gu Jingchun looked so unwell, Xiaoman also asked him a question.
"Miss, what's wrong with you?"
"Didn't you go to see Young Master Luo?"
"Did Young Master Luo bully you?"
Gu Jingchun shook his head.
"He didn't."
"Now is not the time to talk about this."
Gu Jingchun spoke in a serious tone.
"Xiaoman, go and take inventory of all our people and shops in Tiandu right now."
Then, get rid of them as quickly as possible; we need to leave Tiandu as soon as possible.
"Leave Tiandu!"
Xiaoman and Lanxin exclaimed in surprise at the same time.
"Why?"
"Didn't we just get back to Tiandu?"
“We’ve only just gained a foothold, and many shops haven’t even started generating revenue yet. If we were to sell them now, we would definitely suffer huge losses.”
Gu Jingchun nodded, indicating that he understood.
"Then you must leave."
At this point, don't worry about money; saving your life is the most important thing.
However, after leaving, she still had a score to settle with Gu Yunjin.
Meanwhile, in the other courtyard...
Gu Yunjin was pacing anxiously back and forth in the room.
Still no news?
"What exactly happened? How could the Crown Prince suddenly take him away?"
"This...this servant doesn't know either."
Bai Lu knelt on the ground, her voice trembling with fear.
"The Crown Prince happened to be passing by that day and went over when he heard the noise."
Gu Yunjin was furious.
She had risked her money and her life, intending to teach Gu Jingchun a lesson, but unexpectedly, not only was she not harmed at all, but she was also taken away by Shen Hechuan.
Thinking of the rumors about Shen Hechuan interrogating his servants, Gu Yunjin felt a vague unease.
"Are your mouths sealed tightly?"
Bai Lu nodded.
However, the people around the Crown Prince are all experts in torture; they are just ordinary assassins, and it's uncertain whether they can withstand the torture.
However, although Gu Yunjin was somewhat anxious, she was not too worried that Shen Hechuan would really do anything to her.
After all, the Crown Prince is extremely busy, and even if he arrests these people, he may not really care about them.
Besides, even if she confesses, so what?
She and His Highness the Crown Prince have been friends for many years.
Would His Highness the Crown Prince punish Gu Jingchun because of her?
However, what Gu Yunjin didn't know was...
Inside the dungeon at this moment.
Shen Hechuan was staring intently at the men in black.
At this point, all four of their limbs were bound, and their bodies were covered in cuts and bruises.
But the punishments inflicted on them showed no sign of stopping.
"No...no more hitting me, I...I'll confess everything."
The leader spoke slowly.
But the executioner did not stop, continuing to whip the victim forcefully.
This whip is specially made, covered with spikes and hooks, and each strike will tear the skin and flesh.
The others also cried out in pain and begged for mercy.
When the torturers had finished, they finally looked at Shen Hechuan.
But Shen Hechuan seemed not to hear what the other person was saying.
He picked up his teacup, took a casual sip, and waved to the other side.
Instantly, the red-hot iron fell on the other person.
But that's not all.
Immediately afterwards, a red-hot iron hook appeared in front of him and slowly pierced into his body.
"ah……"
Immediately, screams erupted from the dungeon.
Once everyone had fainted, someone brought a bucket of salt water and poured it on them.
The intense pain brought the unconscious people back to consciousness, but they were met with a new round of torture.
And so, after the group had gone through all the punishments, several more hours had passed.
Several people could no longer hold on, and kept repeating the same few words under their breath.
