Chapter 28: Caught Again

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

There was a small forest surrounding the warehouse. She could only choose a random direction to run in. She looked down at her swollen ankle and guessed that it must have been injured from the collision with the container. Without thinking about it, she ran away quickly.

It was late and she couldn’t see the road clearly. Ye Zhiqing could only run around the surrounding trees. She was worried that Guo Aiqiang was still nearby, so she could only run as far away as possible.

In this place, only the moon in the sky could provide a weak light. The only sound was the rustling of leaves. On such a night, there was a strange feeling.

Ye Zhiqing ran without daring to look back.

Rustle—

Rustle—

No… the sound wasn’t right. Ye Zhiqing paused slightly, but she didn’t dare to stop. It was impossible for two sounds to come from her footsteps alone.

There was someone behind her!

Ye Zhiqing looked a little panicked. She didn’t know who it was. If it was the police, she would have been saved, but it could also be Guo Aiqiang… She didn’t dare to take the risk and could only pretend that she didn’t notice anything as she walked forward at a faster speed.

“Rustle, rustle, rustle—”

The sound behind them intensified. There was a light ahead. It was a street lamp.

Ye Zhiqing’s eyes lit up and she quickly walked towards the streetlights. A wide road appeared in front of her and the cars on the road drove quickly. This was good news for Ye Zhiqing.

She ran two steps quickly and waved at a car while shouting, “Stop… Mm—”

Just as she shouted, she was pushed to the ground by someone behind her. A hand covered her mouth from behind.

The driver in the car glanced over and did not see anything. However, he had indeed heard a sound just now. Such a strange scene made him shiver. He thought of some bad images and hurriedly stepped on the accelerator to leave.

“Where do you think you’re going?” Guo Aiqiang’s voice was like a ghost.

A hint of despair flashed across Ye Zhiqing’s eyes.

She was tied up again and thrown into the car. Guo Aiqiang did not stay in this warehouse anymore. After all, this place had been discovered by the police. If the police did not catch him, he would definitely bring more people.

As he drove, he cursed angrily. At the thought of the person who had harmed him to this extent being in the trunk, he sneered. He would deal with her properly after he found a new place.

…

The next morning, Gu Mingcheng, who had just returned to Laurel Garden, saw the note at the door as soon as he entered.

“I went to the hospital. If you’re back and don’t see me, don’t worry.—Ye Zhiqing.”

Gu Mingcheng frowned. He didn’t find her after entering the room. She couldn’t have gone out so early, which meant that she didn’t come back yesterday.

Cao Lingchi did not see him come out, so he came in and asked, “President Gu, can we go now?”

Gu Mingcheng came back to his senses and nodded. “Let’s go.”

Cao Ling looked at him strangely. Didn’t President Gu come to take something? Why was he empty-handed? However, due to his recent abnormality, he didn’t dare to ask.

Before Gu Mingcheng walked out of the room, he turned around and looked at the house again. This house was not big, and to him, it was even a little shabby. However, everything in here was decorated bit by bit by him and that woman. This feeling was a novel experience for Young Master Gu.

He suddenly felt a little reluctant, but it was only for a moment. He took one last look and put away all his thoughts. He definitely would not allow anything beyond his control to stay with him. He was prepared to tell her goodbye for the last time. Since that was the case, forget it.

Cao Ling stood respectfully at the door and waited for him.

Gu Mingcheng walked out of the house and the two of them went downstairs. A black Bentley was parked quietly outside. The two of them got into the car. Cao Ling finally confirmed, “President Gu, we’re heading to the airport now. The capital has already made arrangements. They’re just waiting for you to go back and take charge.”

Gu Mingcheng nodded and looked out the window. No one knew what he was thinking.

The car was on the way to the airport when a little girl suddenly ran the red light. Cao Ling braked immediately and Gu Mingcheng’s body suddenly pounced forward. Cao Ling apologized and got out of the car to check on the little girl.

The little girl was fine, but her mother pestered them endlessly to compensate. She was the one who did not watch her children properly and allowed her to run a red light, but she played the victim to cheat them of money.
