Yang Mu Xiao was already awake when he was on the bus.

  Just now I must have inhaled some kind of drug, which is why I'm feeling weak and limp all over now. Although I can open my eyes, even wanting to move a finger feels difficult.

  She half-opened her eyes and realized it was a taxi. The meter in front of the driver displayed bright red numbers.

  Yang Mou Xiao glanced at the man beside her with the corner of her eye, seemingly unaware. She didn't dare guarantee that if she sought help from the driver in front now, she would be able to shake off danger 100%, but if she couldn't shake it off, on the contrary, it would make herself fall into danger.

  As it approached an intersection, the taxi slowed down in front of a red light and came to a gradual stop.

  Yang Fuxiao saw the traffic police not far ahead and his heart skipped a beat. He tried to open the car door directly by stretching out his hand.

  But just as Yang Wuxia was about to stretch out her hand, the man beside her suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist. "Are you awake?"

  Yang's hand froze instantly.

  The man had a very thin and sharp blade in his hand, just across her waist and on the artery of her wrist.

  Yang brushed off his hair and turned around, taking a glance at the man wearing a duck-billed cap. His face was expressionless as he said, "Mm. You're awake."

  The man, who seemed intimate with Yang Wuxiao, put his arm around her waist and asked the driver in front, "How much longer?"

  The driver said: "After passing this intersection, we will arrive."

  Yang's heart suddenly skipped a beat.

  The car stopped. Getting out of the car, Yang Xiao felt that if he didn't take this opportunity to escape now, he would never be able to escape again.

  As soon as she got off the car, she wanted to run, but was pulled back by the man behind her with great force.

  Yang Xiao's clothes were originally not very tidy, and because of this person's dragging, they were now somewhat disheveled, and he was directly carried on the man's shoulder.

  "Let me go! Help! I've been kidnapped! Help!"

  The scream startled the security guard at the entrance of the residential area.

  Yang Xiao was put down by the man and directly raised his hand to hold her waist: "If you make another noise, I won't care about you anymore."

  The security guard originally thought it was a kidnapping, but after seeing the man say that, the woman didn't make another sound, so he assumed it was just a normal couple's quarrel, and even if it escalated to domestic violence, it was their family affair. He didn't suspect anything else.

  In fact, Yang Xiao's wrist, which was being held by the man, had already been cut by a thin and sharp blade, and the pain had spread to her bone marrow.

  "Shut your mouth now if you don't want to die!"

  The man's voice sounded in her ear, and Yang Xiaoqian pursed her lips, no longer speaking.

  As she passed by the security guard's post, Yang Fuxiao thought of making a gesture to ask for help from the security guard, but found that the security guard had already entered the delivery room.

  Yang Fuxiao's heart suddenly tightened, she really didn't want to lose all her vitality now, took two steps forward, and suddenly tripped and crouched on the ground.

  "Oh no, I've sprained my ankle."

  The man's one hand tightly pinched Yang Fuxiao's arm, the other hand propped her up. His ear leaned in and suddenly bit down on Yang Fuxiao's earlobe.

  Yang's mouth was covered, and she couldn't even let out a scream.

  To outsiders, such an action might seem ambiguous, but Yang Fu Xiao knew that this was not ambiguity at all, it was a real bite, she felt like her ear was going to be bitten off by this person.

  He relaxed his mouth and asked: "Do you have any other questions?"

  Yang Moxiao is now completely exhausted and weak, even walking requires the support of this man by her side. She had just shouted for help with all her might, and now she needs this strong-looking man to pull her forward.

  Yang Mu Xiao knew that she didn't have the strength to struggle now, so when the man's hand loosened from covering her mouth, she opened her mouth and asked: "What is your purpose for kidnapping me? Is it money or something else?"

  The man sneered and didn't say a word, simply half-dragging her forward as he walked.

  A sudden sharp pain in her ear made Yang Xiao thoroughly calm down.

  She absolutely cannot afford to have a head-on confrontation with this man again and again, or else she will end up in trouble herself.

  However, she didn't know that her behavior along the way had thoroughly enraged this man.

  The sky has completely darkened, and tonight there is no moon. The sky is covered with dark clouds that block the moonlight. If it weren't for the faint light of the street lamps, it would be pitch black.

  Yang Mu Xiao recalled what had just happened in the hotel, and it was clear that this person had come in with ulterior motives. Meng Xi had gone to get her evening gown, and by now she must have discovered that she was missing. The time should be no more than ten or twenty minutes, and there was still the opening dance. Gu Qing Cheng was waiting for her to perform the opening dance, and he would probably also discover that she was missing, then come to rescue her like a hero.

  For some reason, Yang Fu Xiao suddenly yearned to see Gu Qing Cheng anxious for her.

  But it's not about taking risks with one's own life in this way.

  Yang Xiao originally thought the man was going to take her to a residential building, but instead they passed by a row of residential buildings, then walked along a long dirt road behind them, and after passing through a construction site, they arrived at a low and abandoned building.

  Yang Xiao was pushed down all the way, and the man's hand unknowingly changed from a knife to a dagger, a sharp dagger that shone with cold light.

  She pushed open a wooden door and because it was exactly nightfall inside was pitch black, Yang Xiao's eyes weren't very adapted so she slowed down her footsteps.

  The door slammed shut behind her, and Yang Fuxiao stumbled two steps before regaining her balance. Just as she did, the man behind her kicked the back of her knee, causing her to grunt in pain and fall to the ground. Immediately after, a flurry of kicks and punches rained down on Yang Fuxiao's body like a storm.

  "You think you can just play tricks and run away? You're the mistress of Gu Qingcheng! Whore! I'd like to see what Gu Qingcheng is willing to give up for you! I want him to hand over all his shares, I want him to trade his life for yours! Do you think he's willing? You live by letting him die, do you think he's willing to make that sacrifice?"

  Yang Xiao could no longer hear what the man kicking her was saying, she was now in so much pain that she had no strength to fight back, all she could do was curl up on the floor, protecting her head, and let the man on top of her beat her mercilessly, like a mad dog.

  Her head spun and her ears rang, but what finally made her pass out completely was the person behind her grabbing her hair, pulling her up, and slapping her across the face. A thick smell of blood filled her lips, and both cheeks hurt so much they were numb. She felt the pain in her cheeks spreading to her tear ducts, so she closed her eyes, and everything went black.

  It's pitch black when I fall asleep, and it's still pitch black when I wake up.

  The sky hasn't lit up yet. Looking out of the window, it's a hazy darkness. The originally square window is divided into several pieces.

  The physical pain that she couldn't feel when she was asleep suddenly struck her, and she touched her cheek, wincing in pain.

  She glanced up at the small room, which had no bed, only a sofa and coffee table, and she was thrown to the ground, in close contact with the cold floor for an entire night.

  Compared to last night, Yang Wuxiao's strength had recovered, no longer weak and limp, but more painful, every inch of his skin screaming in pain, hard to bear.

  Yang Fuxiao used her elbow to support herself, came to the tea table, held onto it and slowly sat up, trying to stand up. However, as soon as she put force on her left leg, her ankle felt a tearing pain. Yang Fuxiao lifted her pant leg and took a look, there was a red swelling on her ankle, and even a light touch with her hand caused unbearable pain.

  She shifted over to the wall, leaned against it, hugged her legs and rested on the wall.

  Yang Xiao's lower lip was bitten tightly, and it seemed that even breathing had stopped.

  Suddenly, a man's quarrelsome voice came from the next room.

  Because it's an old building, the soundproofing is poor, and even ordinary conversation can be heard.

  "What if I've already kidnapped you? Are you going to put her back again?"

  ……

  "Impossible! You won't let me get involved, but I must get involved. You want to avenge your grandfather, don't you think I do too? Since childhood, I've also regarded him as my own grandfather!"

  ……

  "I've been walking stealthily, I had already checked the locations of the surveillance cameras beforehand and avoided them... Don't worry about me, just remember to protect yourself."

  ……

  "I won't tell you my address, don't come over, I won't leave either..."

  Yang Fuxiao listened to the man next door with some fatigue, and it sounded like there was another accomplice, but he had a dispute with this accomplice, and the two people's opinions did not reach an agreement.

  Or maybe this man who kidnapped her was acting on his own accord.

  However, since it's targeted at Gu Qing Cheng and specifically kidnaps her, they should know how important she is to him.

  But she herself didn't know if Gu Qingcheng was important to her or not.

  Her relationship with Gu Qingcheng was also limited to the two of them in private, whether in the company or outside. Even if there were paparazzi taking pictures, her photos were always taken from the side or back, and only people who knew her well could recognize her.

  She was thinking, when she suddenly heard footsteps outside, instantly alert, shrinking into the corner of the wall, a pair of eyes vigilantly staring at the door.

  The man who kidnapped her came in from the doorway with a gloomy face.

  He didn't wear a mask, Yang Xiao could see his face clearly, on the contrary, she couldn't imagine that the man who beat her up at the beginning of entering the door was actually quite handsome, really can't judge a person by appearance.

  The man walked towards Yang Fuxiao step by step, his eyes looking at her like an enemy.

  Just now on the phone, I heard that Grandpa had passed away. She knew that Gu Qingcheng's wrist was hard, but he would never lay a hand on an old man.

  "Are you hungry?"

  Yang Furong shook her head and didn't speak, vigilantly watching the man who was walking towards her.

  She had previously thought of escaping, which enraged the man and led to a devastating beating. Now she just wants to stay quiet and wait for someone to come and rescue her.

  "You're Gu Qingcheng's woman."

  The man's words were not a question but a statement of certainty.

  He originally wanted to kidnap Qin Song, but Qin Song's family background was too powerful, and he didn't dare offend the once-powerful Qin family.

  If Qin Shuang was tied up without alarming Gu Qingcheng, but instead alarmed the Qin family to send someone to investigate, it would be a loss.

  He took out his mobile phone, dialed a number, and when the other party answered, he said "hello". He then placed the phone next to Yang Fuxiao's ear and viciously stomped on Yang Fuxiao's hand that was on the ground. Yang Fuxiao let out a pained cry of "ahh".

  On the other end of the phone, Yang Xiao's muffled hum was heard, and Gu Qingcheng's nerves tightened instantly. He gestured to Dong Zhe to check the mobile phone signal location: "Xiao?"

  Yang Mu Xiao sniffled, "I am."

  Gu Qingcheng's tone was somewhat urgent, "How are you?"

  "I'm fine, don't worry."

  Yang Mu Xiao said this, the man beside her stepped on her hand, using a force similar to grinding cigarette butts, as if intentionally hurting her, wanting her to cry to Gu Qing Cheng, she was in so much pain that tears flowed out.

  She coldly raised her head, looking at the violent man through the tears that had welled up in her eyes, without crying out loud. Her voice was even softer as she spoke to the person on the phone, saying "I'm fine."

  The phone in her hand was suddenly snatched away, and the people around her moved their feet. Yang Fuxiao wanted to quickly withdraw her hand, but she didn't even have that much strength left.

  ………………

  Gu Qingcheng listened to Yang Fu's voice and suddenly felt a pang of heartache.

  The car was driving smoothly on the road and was almost approaching the community that Zhang Liang had reported earlier.

  "Dawn, where are you now..."

  "Director Guo, it's our turn to talk about our business now."

  Gu Qingcheng narrowed his eyes, this voice was low and deep, using a pitch-shifting device with a very large adjustment.

  "What do you want?"

  "I'd rather you were dead than alive."

  On the other hand, Dong Zhe has already handed over the address located by the mobile phone signal to Gu Qingcheng, which is just a region and indeed within this community.

  "Alright, you mention a method, how can I be worse off than dead? As long as you don't touch her, whatever you want I'll give to you. Wait until I arrive, even if you want my life it's fine."

  However, Gu Qingcheng did not wait for the other party's response. A "bang" sound seemed to have come from the other end of the phone, and then the call was hung up.

  Gu Qingcheng furrowed his brow tightly, and Zhang Liang, who was driving in front of him, also realized the severity of the situation. He suddenly pressed the accelerator to the bottom and overtook three cars in a row.

  Arriving at the entrance of the residential area, the car stopped and Gu Qingcheng got out, wearing a slim-fitting thin windbreaker with a small bloodstain on his chin, looking like he had just been through a bloody battle. He walked step by step to the security post.

  The security guard felt a sense of oppression from this man and took a step back.

  After inquiring, it was found out that indeed there was a man who brought a woman into the residential area.

  But in a residential area with 300 households, how can we go door-to-door to search at this late hour? It's simply unrealistic.

  Gu Qingcheng lit a cigarette, pinched it between his fingers and took a hard drag, exhaling a ring of smoke along with a single word: "Find."

  ………………

  Just now, Gu Qingcheng heard a loud crash, which was someone banging on the door.

  Yang Fu Xiao watched as the man quickly turned around, glanced at his phone, and a hint of panic seemed to flash in his eyes. He kicked Yang Fu Xiao's shoulder with one foot, "If you dare to play tricks again, I'll gouge out your eyeballs this time."

  Yang Feng's shoulder was heavily kicked and he crashed into a tea table on one side.

  The man turned around and walked out of the room, slamming the door shut with a bang.

  Yang Fengxiao rubbed his sore shoulders and straightened up, listening with an ear to the side. It seemed like two people's voices were arguing outside.

  After a few seconds, the door slammed shut again, and there was no other sound.

  She furrowed her brow, got down on all fours and crawled forward, turned the door handle, but it was locked from inside and wouldn't open.

  She let out a long sigh, her eyes scanning the wall to a plastic clothes drying rack, then crawled over, grasping the rack in her hand, shrinking against the wall, her body tense, a pair of fearful eyes staring at the window in front.

  ………………

  This "find" character, one find, is a whole day.

  Something that is fundamentally unrealistic, Gu Qingcheng has managed to do it, really going from door to door searching.

  A whole night without sleep, and not eating anything, Gu Qingcheng's originally deep eye sockets were now even more sunken, the area around his eyes was a mess of dark circles, in just one day, his face seemed to have lost weight, his facial features appeared even more gaunt and deep.

  There were some long and short cigarette butts scattered around his feet, with a cigarette still pinched between his fingers, the ash had accumulated for quite a while.

  He has directly rejected Shen Zhou's phone number.

  If something happens to Yang Wu Xiao this time, he will really find it hard to forgive himself.

  Because of the list of people who handled business at night, XX Bank's president was shocked, and so was Gu Qingcheng's father.

  Gu Qingcheng directly threw his mobile phone to Fang Shu beside him to answer the call.

  "Hello, Mr. Gu, Mr. Gu is busy right now... Okay, I'll let him know and he will call you back."

  Of course, there was also Mrs. Gu coming to answer the phone.

  Gu Qingcheng was not close to his father, but he was closer to his grandmother. Later, because of his mother's affairs, he returned to the Shen family.

  Grandma.

  "What are you up to now? Last night in the middle of the night, my old friend called and said you went to rob a bank?"

  Robbing a bank...

  If he wasn't Gu Qingcheng's grandmother, he definitely wouldn't have explained another sentence.

  After the explanation, Old Lady Gu also put her mind at ease: "I said it, how could my own grandson rob a bank? The bank is his, what nonsense. And in two days, I'll go to C City, I'll go see my future granddaughter-in-law."

  Gu Qingcheng pinched his brow with two fingers, "Grandma, there have been a lot of things going on lately. Once everything settles down, I'll bring her back to see you."

  Fang Shu saw Gu Qingcheng talking to Old Lady Gu, so he turned around and walked out the door to return a call to Shen Zhou.

  Shen Zhou answered the phone and asked: "Is Gu Qingcheng still looking for that woman?"

  "Yes, Chairman, but it hasn't been found yet, and the scope is within a small district."

  "After finding Yang Wu Xiao, let Gu Qing Cheng make a trip to Shen's house."

  "Alright, I'll let General Gu know."

  Fang Shu's response to Shen Zhou was just "informing Gu Zong", because she didn't dare confirm whether Gu Qingcheng would listen or not. She said that after all, she was just an outsider, doing her job conscientiously and fulfilling her duties was enough.

  Zhang Liang walked in with big strides and said, "Boss, behind the construction site inside the compound, there is another old building waiting to be demolished."

  Gu Qingcheng raised his eyes: "Go investigate."

  Zhang Liang turned around, and Gu Qingcheng called out to him: "Wait."

  Gu Qingcheng stood up, pinched out the cigarette butt in his hand and threw it on the ground, "I'm going."

  ………………

  Yang slowly opened her eyes, not knowing how long she had slept. She looked at the natural light outside and saw that it was bright, then she fell asleep again for a while before being woken up by the cold, shivering all over her body.

  However, the kidnapper seemed not to have returned yet.

  I don't know if there's been some internal chaos, but they still haven't returned yet.

  Yang Mou Xiao tried to walk to the bedside to open the window and shout for help, but the window was sealed off, and now it's on the sixth floor, she can't jump out of the window to seek a way out.

  Originally, there was still a feeling of hunger, but now, even the feeling of hunger is gone, leaving only numbness. The wounds on her ankles and calves still hurt badly, and she didn't dare to touch them.

  Suddenly, Yang Wu's sensitive hearing was triggered, and she heard a sound like someone knocking on the door next door. She was startled, and the clothes hanger in her hand fell to the ground.

  She hastily took the clothespole back in her hand, crawled behind the sofa to hide, trying to minimize her presence, curling up her body as much as possible, even her weak breathing was sprayed on her painful knee joint.

  The sound of crashing doors came from next door and echoed outside the house.

  One sound after another, Yang Xiao hugged her legs tightly, and her shoulders trembled with fear.

  Because it was a relatively old building, the lock was also old and not an anti-theft door. Dong Zhe used his shoulder to bump the door twice and it opened.

  "Yang Wu Xiao!"

  Yang Furong suddenly lifted her head, wanting to shout "I'm here", but unexpectedly not a sound came out. She then used the plastic rod in her hand to knock on the tea table, making a noise.

  Boom boom boom boom...

  "Boss, there's a voice in here!"

  Gu Qingcheng tilted his head and listened for a moment, then directly lifted his foot and kicked the door open. The door creaked loudly as it swung open, and he darted inside in one swift motion, "Dawn!"

  From his angle, all he could see was Yang's messy hair on top of her head and a raised plastic clothes hanger.

  Gu Qingcheng walked over, his footsteps were light, but in his heart, there was a weight of a thousand pounds.

  Yang Xiao leaned against the sofa and the wall corner of the triangular area, the first thing that caught his eye was a pair of leather boots.

  Gu Qingcheng's boots were dirty.

  In Yang Fuxiao's impression, Gu Qingcheng's leather shoes were always clean. Even when they went to the county town together last week to visit her grandmother, his shoes were still clean.

  Yang Fuxiao lifted her head, she knew that now herself must be very disheveled, hair messy like a bird's nest, clothes on the body torn and broken, both cheeks were slapped with palm prints swollen, delicate skin with red blood vessels.

  However, she still smiled at Gu Qingcheng with a wide grin.

  She opened her mouth and silently said a sentence "I knew you would come."

  Gu Qingcheng squatted down and lifted his hand, using his fingertips to wipe away a dirty thing on Yang Bufang's forehead.

  Yang Mo Xiao threw away the plastic umbrella in his hand and stretched out his hand to Gu Qing Cheng, meaning to pull her up.

  However, Gu Qingcheng had already leaned forward, one arm directly passing through Yang Fuxiao's leg crook, and carried her horizontally. He turned around and said to Fang Shu: "Call the car over."

  Dong Zhe has gone to prepare the car.

  Fang Shu looked at Yang Fu Xiao's appearance and obviously didn't expect it either.

  The whole person looks extremely disheveled, the clothes on his body are torn and tattered, with bruises on his exposed arms, shoulders, and waist. He is barefoot, with one pant leg rolled up, revealing a purplish ankle bone.

  This is just exposed skin outside, on the body, areas covered by clothes, don't know if they were also seriously injured.

  Fortunately, Gu Qingcheng quickly picked up Yang Mochou and carried her in his arms. She was currently unable to walk due to the severe injury on her ankle, which made it impossible for her to exert any strength.

  Moreover, Yang Wuxiao is also relieved that he has lost his voice now.

  Otherwise, when Gu Qingcheng hugged herself, she touched the wounds on her back and legs, which would have made her scream in pain. Now it's okay, just opening her mouth wide, unable to make a sound.

  However, as Gu Qingcheng put Yang Fuxiao in the car, she still burst into tears.

  Gu Qingcheng bent down and entered, using a slightly rough uniform to wipe away the tear stains on Yang Xiao's face. "Why are you crying?"

  Yang Fu Xiao rubbed her eyes and smiled, and tears flowed down from her eyes.

  She pulled Gu Qingcheng's hand, her slender index finger writing four words on his palm: I'm very happy.

  Her movements were very light, so light that they seemed imperceptible. The tender tips of her fingers slid across Gu Qingcheng's thick and broad palm, seemingly tracing the lines on his palm, bringing a delicate tactile sensation.

  This delicate touch in the palm of one's hand has been transmitted all the way to the bottom of one's heart.

  "Why?" Gu Qingcheng cried and laughed, "Still happy after getting hurt?"

  Yang Mo Xiao slightly opened his lips and smiled, revealing a row of clean and neat teeth, saying "Because you're here."

  Gu Qingcheng pulled Yang Fuxiao's clothes up to cover her shoulders, then turned around and said to Fang Shu who was driving: "Go to the hospital."

  A black private car whizzed by, kicking up clouds of dust. A patch of dust rose into the air and fell to the ground. In the distance, a white luxury car appeared.

  A white private car stopped under the old residential building that was about to be demolished, a man opened the door and got out of the car, he took a look at an address that had just been sent on his phone, and went upstairs.

  Sixth floor.

  Nishikido.

  The door of Xi Hu's house was wide open, and when Shen Jia-yu arrived, Dong Zhe had just finished searching all the rooms inside and hadn't found any clues left by the kidnapper. He turned around just in time to see Shen Jia-yu walking in.

  Because of his relationship with his master, Dong Zhe is acquainted with Shen Jia-yu.

  Dong Zhe called out: "Shen Shao."

  There were shattered wooden chips on the ground, Shen Jia-yu stepped on them and made a crunching sound, as if he had trampled on withered branches in the snow.

  Shen Jia-yu glanced at the empty room and turned around to say: "He's already taken Dawn away?"

  Dong Zhe nodded: "The boss has taken him away."

  There was nothing else, Shen Jiaoyu waved his hand and let Dong Zhe leave first. He stayed here for a while longer.

  Dong Zhe went downstairs, and now there was only Shen Jia-yu left on the sixth floor.

  Although I got the address, I still arrived one step late.

  Originally, he wanted to save Yang Muxiao from danger, and later, he thought it would be easier to win her heart, but the hope he saw in desperation was not him, but Gu Qingcheng.

  Shen Jia-yu's hand clenched silently, the note deformed in his palm, and then he tore it to pieces and threw it into the trash can. He turned around and walked out again, holding his phone and dialing a number: "Which hospital did Gu Qing-cheng take her to?"

  "Send me the room number later."

  ………………

  In the car, Gu Qingcheng asked Fang Shu, who was driving in front, to prop up the middle partition. He took a look at Yang Fuxiao's exposed skin and saw that it was all covered with dark purple bruises, which looked shocking.

  Gu Qingcheng wanted to help Yang Fuxiao treat his wound, but accidentally touched a sensitive spot. Yang Fuxiao suddenly opened his mouth silently, and Gu Qingcheng stopped moving. He wrapped the disheveled Yang Fuxiao in a blanket from the car and said, "Okay, let's go to the hospital."

  In the hospital, the doctor gave Yang Fu Xiao a full-body examination. Most of his injuries were external wounds, with a slight fracture in his ankle bone and two dislocated fingers. After correction and fixation, as long as he rested in the hospital for a period of time, he could basically recover. Fortunately, his internal organs did not suffer any damage.

  For the X-ray films placed in front of him, Gu Qingcheng's face turned gloomy to the extreme.

  Liang Jinmo heard that Yang Muxiao was injured and immediately rushed to the hospital. Although the medical equipment in his clinic was not as complete or convenient as those in the hospital, he knew many expert doctors as a colleague.

  "What's the reason she can't speak now?"

  "She must have been startled and developed temporary aphasia. Once she calms down and there are no more stimuli, she will regain her voice."

  A gynecologist took off her mask and walked out of the ward, "The patient is not cooperating with the examination."

  Seeing the bruises on Yang Fuxiao's body and her torn clothes, one would naturally think of whether she had been raped. However, Yang Fuxiao lay in bed, shaking her head like a rattle drum, constantly mouthing something, but the gynecologist was not a lip language expert, so he couldn't understand what the patient was saying at all. It wasn't until she kept pointing to outside the ward that the doctor went out and called Gu Qingcheng from the office.

  However, for patients after sexual assault, there is often emotional resistance.

  Gu Qingcheng listened, didn't say a word, turned around and walked out of the office.

  Just as I walked into the ward, I saw Yang Fu Xiao straining to bend down from the bed, trying to reach a pen on the table.

  Gu Qingcheng took two swift steps forward and happened to support Yang Mianxiao's body, which was about to fall over. He steadied her and asked, "Don't move now, what do you want to take?"

  Yang Mu Xiao turned her hand over and grasped Gu Qing Cheng's hand, writing on his palm.

  However, because of writing quickly and disorderly, Gu Qingcheng also couldn't tell what characters they were.

  He turned around, took out a tablet from a briefcase, and pulled up the writing board. Yang Xiao received it and wrote on it: "Do you think I was raped?"

  Gu Qingcheng gazed at Yang Moxiao's eyes with a deep and profound color, as deep as the endless ocean on a dark night.

  Yang Xiao's wrist was cut by a knife and couldn't exert force, and blood had already seeped out.

  Gu Qingcheng grabbed Yang Muxiao's right elbow, "Don't move."

  But Yang Wanye was in a hurry, she shook her head and simply used her left hand to write on the tablet: "I wasn't raped, I was just beaten."

  Yang Duoxiao wrote for a full ten minutes, one word at a time. Gu Qingcheng held her right hand's elbow, not letting her move, watching as she left behind a row of extremely sloppy handwriting on the tablet.

  Yang Fu Xiao finished writing and held up her iPad for Gu Qing Cheng to see, pointing at the words on it.

  Gu Qingcheng leaned over and kissed Yang Fuxiao's forehead: "Mmm, rest well."

  As he spoke, he supported Yang Fu Xiao's shoulder and let her lie down, pulling the quilt over her body.

  Yang Mu Xiao grasped Gu Qing Cheng's wrist, pulling him in closer, and poked at the small red mark on his chin with her finger. She then tugged at the hem of his shirt that was hidden under his jacket sleeve.

  "Are you hurt?"

  Gu Qingcheng only then realized that his shirt had been stained with blood at some unknown point.

  "He said: 'It doesn't matter, it's not mine.'"

  Yang's physical strength was also exhausted, lying in bed, under the gaze of Gu Qingcheng, he fell asleep in no time.

  Gu Qingcheng sat on the edge of the bed, watching the glucose drip drop by drop from above, and waited until Yang Mochen fell asleep before turning around and walking out.

  He didn't sleep for a whole day and night, he walked out of the ward, found two people to guard outside the ward, then went back to Zijing Garden, took off this set of clothes and threw them directly into the trash can, and changed into another set.

  A hand tied up in a shirt button, the phone on the table vibrated once.

  Gu Qingcheng picked up his mobile phone, and it was a call from Shen Zhou.

  Just now it was because of Yang Fuxiao's matter, Gu Qingcheng couldn't divert his attention at all, so he kept rejecting Shen Zhou's phone calls. However, now he also had to answer the call from Shen Zhou.

  "Uncle."

  "What happened to that girl?"

  "It's just a superficial wound, it'll be fine after some rest."

  "Then you should also take it back a bit. I already said last time that this won't be an example, yesterday was the central conference of the economic and trade forum, which I presided over."

  "I understand."

  "Besides, the young lady from the Wen family has come home several times already, you should take some time to meet her."

  "Uh-huh."

  Gu Qingcheng found Dong Zhe and arranged some things, then returned to the hospital ward again.

  It's already past ten o'clock, and outside the hospital room corridor, there are only motion-sensitive lights that gradually brighten up with the sound of footsteps.

  Gu Qingcheng pushed open the door of the ward and entered, inside was a complete darkness.

  He had learned to survive in the wilderness, so from a bright area to a dark section, his eyes didn't need an adaptation period and could directly distinguish the scene inside the room.

  He closed the door behind him with a soft click.

  On the hospital bed, Yang Xiao was curled up in a white pillow and blanket, her cheek had subsided, but her complexion was pale.

  Outside the window, a faint moonlight shines in through the window.

  This time Yang Fuxiao was kidnapped, Gu Qingcheng knew it must be related to himself. Yang Fuxiao is usually careful and wouldn't offend anyone for no reason, now someone must want to use Yang Fuxiao to take revenge on him.

  Gu Qingcheng stood by the bedside, after a while, looking at her calm sleeping face.

  Maybe the room was too hot, Yang Xiao's arm came out from under the covers, Gu Qingcheng leaned over to tuck her in and then lay back down on the couch, pulling a blanket over himself.

  ………………

  Yang Mo Xiao slept for almost twelve hours in the ward and didn't wake up until nearly noon the next day, and it was because of hunger that she woke up.

  It just so happened that Tina pushed open the door and walked in, carrying a thermos lunch box.

  "You're awake."

  Yang Mo Xiao smiled and made a waking gesture with her mouth.

  Tina also heard from the doctor that Yang Wu's temporary aphasia was still understandable with simple lip language.

  She took the food from the thermos lunch box and put it in a bowl with chopsticks, then helped Yang Xiao to sit up, leaning against the backrest: "I asked Gu Qingcheng about your taste and bought it specially. Eat this bowl of rice and stew, you need to take good care of yourself these few days."

  Yang Mu Xiao said: "Thank you."

  "Don't be polite."

  Yang Mu Xiao was really hungry, a small bowl of rice was quickly finished, and then he ate another small bowl, drinking all the stew that Tina brought.

  Tina was also shocked: "Your appetite..."

  Yang Fuxiao pulled out a tissue from the bedside table and wiped his mouth, then picked up Gu Qingcheng's iPad from the bedside and opened the note-taking app: "Where is Gu Qingcheng?"

  Tina said: "You also know about the economic and trade forum, it's been pretty busy."

  Yang nodded and looked very understanding.

  Tina said: "He stayed here guarding you all night yesterday and only left during the day."

  "Huh?"

  Yang Fuxiao looked at a long sofa against the wall, on which was placed an economic and trade magazine. She had thought it was originally there, but now it seemed that Gu Qingcheng must have been reading it.

  Yang was beaten by the bandits and hit her head against the wall, cracking open a wound. Although it wasn't serious, the doctor didn't bother to dress it, fortunately the weather is cold now, so it won't get inflamed or suppurate.

  She fetched a small shiny card and pinned all her bangs back, revealing a smooth forehead, to avoid hair touching the wound.

  In fact, Tina didn't tell Yang Wudao that Gu Qingcheng had now mobilized all the underworld and white way to search for the kidnapper who kidnapped Yang Wudao.

  It's not good for little girls to hear such things, so Tina simply didn't mention it, and Gu Qingcheng definitely wouldn't bring it up either.

  Tina came over at Gu Qingcheng's behest to keep Yang Fuguo company, fearing that after this incident, Yang Fuguo might have some psychological shadow in her heart.

  But now it seems that Gu Qingcheng was overthinking, Yang Fu Xiao looks very optimistic.

  Tina is five years older than Yang Xiaodong, so Yang Xiaodong always calls her Sister Tina. After chatting for a while, Tina's phone rang and she smiled as she pressed the answer button: "I'll take this call."

  However, at the same time as the phone was placed next to her ear, Tina's face suddenly changed.

  She went out the door to answer the phone, and Yang Fuxiao subconsciously wanted to ask, but as soon as she opened her mouth, she realized she had no voice, so she quickly wrote on her iPad with her left hand, writing slowly. After finishing, she looked up to see that Tina was already gone.

  Yang Fu Xiao pouted.

  Seems like it's very urgent.

  She leaned on the pillow, feeling bored, so she picked up Gu Qingcheng's iPad and started flipping through its contents. However, when she opened a document named "Photos", she felt like it was an invasion of someone else's privacy. Nevertheless, since she had already opened it, she thought she might as well take a quick glance before exiting.

  However, in the photo album, there were only two photos. One was of Gu Qingcheng when he was still a young man, wearing a vest on top and standing next to a woman who looked elegant and poised, with fair skin and a tall stature. Gu Qingcheng had his arm around her shoulder. The other was a solo photo of the woman.

  There is also an encrypted folder.

  Yang Mu Xiao was thinking, what kind of person is this woman to Gu Qing Cheng? The shape of her eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to Gu Qing Cheng's, both having relatively long and narrow pupils that shone with spirit.

  Just as Yang Fu Xiao was deep in thought, a gentle voice suddenly came from above his head, "What are you looking at, so focused?"

  Yang Buruoxiao was startled and hastily flipped the iPad onto the quilt.

  After all, people can't secretly do something, just like Yang's bad luck, someone will suddenly come over and expose it.
