Gu Yan knelt on the ground and begged, “Please let me go. I’ve done everything you’ve asked me to do. I’m no longer of any use to you. Please let me go.”
I could feel her fear even though I was only a few steps away from Gu Yan. Who was this person? How could he be so powerful? Could It be Tong Zhuo?
It wasn’t necessary. If it was Tong Zhuo, why would he do such a sneaky thing? Tong Zhuo was someone who cared about appearances. He definitely wouldn’t fight alone. Tong Zhuo didn’t dare to fight alone. No one cared more about the importance of survival than him. Therefore, this person was definitely not Tong Zhuo.
A strange voice let out a strange laugh. “You want to leave? Where are you going? Where do you want to go?”
Gu Yan stopped talking.
The voice continued, “You’re quite capable. You can even escape, but the world is so big. Haven’t you ever thought that there’s no place for you to stay? Where can you go? As a dignified miss of the Gu family, do you have any ability to settle down and live?”
Gu Yan did not speak.
The person took two steps toward Gu Yan, and he continued to ask, “Gu Yan, I’m quite curious. Tell me, where are you going? How are you going? What are you going to do for the rest of your life? As far as I know, you, the eldest daughter of the Gu family, don’t have much money. So, who is supporting you? And who is supporting you for the rest of your life? Could it be that you’ve hooked up with another man?”
Gu Yan clenched his teeth and did not say a word.
The man took another two steps closer. “Tell me. I’m very interested. I’m willing to listen to gossip. I’m extremely willing! Which rich family did you hook up with? Or did you find a rich man? A nouveau riche? Tell me. I’m very interested.”
The man’s voice was very unpleasant, a little like using foam to rub against the glass. It was harsh and noisy, but it could not hide the contempt and disdain in his tone.
Gu Yan still did not speak.
The temperature of the air felt cold, and the man seemed to have come to Gu Yan’s side. Gu Yan let out a painful cry.
“Didn’t you hear me? Answer me! Where are you going? Who are you going with? Where did you get the money? What does he do?” The man’s voice became vicious and even more unpleasant.
Gu Yan’s throat seemed to be stuck. She made a hissing sound, and her hands were flailing.
After a while, the man let go of her. Gu Yan was panting heavily.
“I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you…” Gu Yan said anxiously as if she was afraid that the man would attack her again.
Gu Yan coughed twice. She took a deep breath and said, “It’s a small boss who I know. He said that he wanted to take me to live in Africa. He has a wife in his hometown and can’t get a divorce. He’s afraid of his wife, so he wants to take me far away.”
Gu Yan lied. I didn’t expect that.
That person seemed to be thinking about Gu Yan’s words.
Gu Yan quickly said, “We met by chance. I drove and crashed into his car. We got to know each other just like that. After a while, we got to know each other. Everything I said is true. I’m not lying!”
Gu Yan hurriedly confessed.
That person sneered. “You didn’t want to be the miss of the Gu family, but you want to be someone else’s mistress? Are you crazy?”
The man raised his hand and gave Gu Yan a slap.
Gu Yan cried. “I have no choice. Rather than being controlled by my family, it’s better for me to find a way out for myself. People like me are not cared for by my family, and my in-laws don’t like me. I don’t have a future for the rest of my life. If I don’t take the chance to be free now, when I’m old and decrepit, I won’t even have such a chance.”
