Lu Beichen .
Lu Beichen was suspended mid-air . His face was pale, and his body had become skinny .
Gu Jingyan panicked and wondered if he had already… left this world, for he was already motionless .
"Lu Beichen," she cried out in fear and rushed in .
As she saw him, tied up there, she reached out for a dagger from her shoe, and with that sharp dagger, she cut the rope that tied his hands .
Lu Beichen flopped into the water below .
Gu Jingyan quickly held onto Lu Beichen .
"Lu Beichen, wake up, wake up…" She used her strength to tap his cheeks .
Lu Beichen was semi-conscious and only felt like he was in a warm embrace .
Lately, he only felt coldness and moisture . He had not felt warmth for a long time and had forgotten how it felt .
He finally used his might to open his eyes a little and saw Gu Jingyan in front of him .
"Jing… Jingyan?"
He thought he was dreaming .
Wasn't she in the country? Why was she here?
Gu Jingyan touched his hand . "It's me . It's me . Are you okay?"
She held onto his icy hands, but it did not help .
She knew if she did not get him out, he would lose half his life and perhaps get sick in his current state even if he did not die .
She quickly got him up . "I'm here to save you . Let's get out . They've been distracted to the back, but they'll come here right away . "
Lu Beichen mumbled and nodded his head . He used great strength to stand up .
Outside, at the same moment, some people from the Gu family had arrived quickly .
A group helped along and aided Lu Beichen on his way out .
Lu Beichen was unwilling to let go of Gu Jingyan's hand, so he held on tightly . He was mumbling, "Gu Jingyan, I remember when I saw you in school, I was amazed . "
"Gu Jingyan, I wasn't used to seeing you being so capable . "
"Gu Jingyan, I also didn't want you to be the school belle . "
"My scores have always been better than yours . It's just that I couldn't bear to . "
At a time like this, Gu Jingyan wanted to laugh .
What nonsense was he spouting?
She said, "Okay, stop talking . Save some energy to escape . "
"If I die…"
"Idiot, you won't die!" How could she allow him to die?
He was Apple's father .
"If I die, everything under my name will be yours . "
What was he saying again?
But for some reason, Gu Jingyan felt touched . Though money could not measure feelings, this trust that he gave her made her feel respected .
She paused and then continued to support him . She said, "Alright, I know . You don't have to say anything anymore . If not, I'd want to murder my own husband . "
This sentence made Lu Beichen pause .
Murder her husband?
"Are you saying I'm your husband?"
Gu Jingyan quickly said, "I said it wrong . Alright . In any case, stop talking . You're not allowed to speak . "
But in that instant, Lu Beichen really felt like he had come back to life again .
Just then, they came face to face .
Those Arabic men had come over .
"Gu Jingyan, go, quick . "
Lu Beichen immediately used his strength and started to walk forward .
Though still weak, he was able to walk on his own .
Gu Jingyan saw the person who came and stopped .
They did not think that a woman would locate this place and fill it with bombs . She had immediately dealt with so many of their brothers, which brought the tiger out of its den .
"Haha, I've long heard that the people from C Nation are very cunning . Indeed…"
Gu Jingyan looked at them . "There's no feud between anyone in the first place . Let me go and we'll immediately take it as this thing didn't happen . Anyway, it's just a small misunderstanding, right?"
They pointed to the pile of bodies behind . "Look carefully . Those bodies are our brothers . They're dead because of you . "
Gu Jingyan smiled . "If your own kin were kidnapped in this state, you too would be so mad that you'd want to murder someone . This is your fault in the first place . "
"We don't care who's right or wrong now . Anyway, don't think about leaving . Don't think…"
As the Arabic man spoke, he brought his gun up and pointed it at them, ready to fire .
Lu Beichen immediately went in front of Gu Jingyan .
It was tragic looking at the people in front .
However, just then…
A gunshot was heard .
But the thing is, the shot was not from the gun in front of them but… from behind .
The Arabic man holding the gun immediately fell to the ground . The stream of blood in between his brows already made it clear .
He was dead .
He had been shot in the head by someone behind .
Gu Jingyan looked up and discovered that behind them was an army of Gu family's guards .
She froze and then reacted after a short moment .
Especially when it was Gu Jingze .
Didn't Second Brother say he wasn't coming?
Lu Beichen heaved a sigh of relief . He looked outside and said, "No wonder you came in alone . So it's because there's help outside . Was this Gu Jingze's plan?"
He knew that Gu Jingze had always been a sly one .
Gu Jingyan's expression darkened .
"What plans? I don't know anything, and you call this a plan?"
"Huh?"
Gu Jingyan said, "I mean, I didn't even know he would come . "
Lu Beichen understood in a moment .
Gu Jingyan mumbled, "Oh, he let me lure them out and after almost being done with them, his people decide to come and pick up the pieces . Seriously…"
Lu Beichen also understood this .
Seriously…
What an old fox .
Sure enough, the people inside were dealt with very quickly .
As for Gu Jingze, he came walking in spotlessly clean from outside .
Seeing how his suit did not even have a crease, Gu Jingyan cursed in her heart before saying, "You came in the end . "
"These people are considered unbearable . " Gu Jingze smiled and complimented Gu Jingyan, "Luring the tiger out of its den just now was quite a good play . "
Gu Jingyan had wanted to speak, but Lu Beichen's body could not take it any longer .
Seeing how Lu Beichen was on the verge of collapsing, Gu Jingyan quickly supported him .
Gu Jingze gave a slight glance at the back . The subordinates helped Lu Beichen up .
The group helped to support Lu Beichen together and left this cold and wet place .
At the hospital .
Gu Jingze told Lin Che, "He's fine . You didn't have to rush down . "
Lin Che did hurry over . Seeing Gu Jingyan inside, she decided it was better not to go in and interrupt .
"Those Arabic men…"
"There are no Arabic men left . "
All gone?
Alright then .
Lin Che said, "The William family sent an invite . Take a look . "
Gu Jingze took the invitation that had gold sidelines . He nodded his head, "Alright, let's go and take part . "
