Lu Qi’er held the corners of her gown and twirled around in front of the mirror. The beautiful wedding gown adorned with the flowers and diamonds complemented her elegance and beauty, and she resembled a blossoming peony. It was incredibly stunning.
Today was her big day with Gu Mohan. At long last, she was going to marry Gu Mohan and become Mrs Gu.
As the corner of her lips lifted into a smug smile, Lu Qi’er could hardly contain her happiness. She had finally gotten what she wanted.
She was the winner.
She had defeated Tang Mo’er.
Ha.
Haha.
At this moment, the makeup artist said, “Miss Lu, look. President Gu is here. Your groom is here!”
Lu Qi’er stood in front of the window, quietly extending her finger to lift up the layers of her gown. Even though the wedding venue outside was layered with brightly colored decorations, she was still able to spot Gu Mohan from afar.
Gu Mohan was clad in a custom-made black suit, pressed to perfection. His sleek, short hair was neatly styled, revealing his sharp facial features which formed exquisitely into something akin to an artist’s most perfect work of art. He was extremely good-looking.
Shoving his hand into his pocket, he listened to the few CEOs who were talking to him, exuding some form of coldness and indifference.
Lu Qi’er was completely love struck. She had fallen in love with his cold, indifferent, affluent and powerful demeanor at first sight.
Now she had finally came to his side today and become his woman.
Lu Qi’er felt comforted and quietly looked down. At this moment, someone covered her mouth…
…
Outside the wedding hall stood Lu Yan. As Lu Qi’er was his sister, he had to be present at the wedding.
“Congratulations President Gu. I must give you my deepest blessings for a loving marriage.”
Seeing that Lu Yan had arrived, a few bosses retreated. Gu Mohan lifted his eyes and glanced at Lu Yan, smiling “Thank you Master Yan, my marriage will definitely be a blissful one .”
Lu Yan came forward to Gu Mohan and stood next to him. Seeing their powerful and dashing countenance when they stood together was a magnificent sight to behold.
There were many ladies who cast secret glances over at the handsome pair.
“President Gu, I’ll be leaving my sister to you in the future.” Lu Yan raised his eyebrows.
“Master Yan, when will you pass me the remaining half of the antidote?”
“Well… President Gu, let’s not be too hasty. I’ll pass you the remaining half of the antidote when my sister is pregnant with your child.”
“Oh?” Gu Mohan forced a laugh at Lu Yan’s words and stared stonily at the man, before changing the topic.”Master Yan, is Uncle Jin not coming to witness his daughter getting married off today?”
“He will come a little later.”
Gu Mohan narrowed his eyes, “Then that’s a pity. I hope Uncle Jin does not miss the… drama that’s about to unfold.”
Drama?
Lu Yan stared at Gu Mohan, his eyes overflowing with menace. He lifted the corner of his lips, leaned forward and whispered into Gu Mohan’s ear, “President Gu, why do I feel like you’re setting a trap for me to fall into?”
Gu Mohan looked at Lu Yan’s face who was in front of him and gave a mocking sneer. “You’re afraid now? Then why weren’t you scared back then when you initiated the plan?”
Hidden underneath their smiles was the pent up hatred towards each other and the atmosphere was hostile.
“President Gu, it’ll soon be the auspicious time for you to receive the bride. I won’t you any further.”
Gu Mohan gave Lu Yan a glance and left the room, striding over to the bridal room to pull open the doors. However, the doors swung open to reveal an empty room!
Several make-up artists were unconscious on the floor.
Lu Qi’er was missing!
“Ah! Why is the bride missing?”
Lu Yan rushed over and scanned the waiting room. Lu Qi’er was indeed missing. Had she been taken away?
“President Gu, what happened here? Where is my sister?” he asked Gu Mohan.
Gu Mohan’s placed his index finger onto his lips and gave a gentle ‘shh’ sound. The cell phone in his pocket rang.
Taking it out, he answered it and pressed on the speaker icon. A violent, menacing voice sounded at the end of the phone —
“Hello President Gu. Your bride is in my hands now. If you don’t want her to die then hand over my younger brother, Long Er. Come to the abandoned yards behind Nanshan. Come alone and we’ll do an exchange, one-for-one. If you dare to play any tricks, I’ll kill your bride.”
After he had spoken, Boss Long hung up.
At this moment, Lu Yan’s underling, Wen Bin ran over and whispered urgently to Lu Yan.
Lu Yan’s perfectly handsome face sank and fixed his gaze on Gu Mohan. “President Gu, you went to the Capital not long ago and had the guts to meddle with the underworld? You abducted away Long Er and now Long Er’s brother is hunting you down all the way from Xichuan. During this time, your wedding with my sister Qi’er has caught the attention of Boss Long. He’ll definitely kill her!”
Gu Mohan exuded a faint and calm smile, his lips formed a sardonic arch as he responded sarcastically, “Master Yan, if only your sister was as smart as you. She has already reached a dead end, and yet, she’s still so smug. Sometimes, people are just plain stupid.”
Lu Yan glowered at Gu Mohan, clenching his teeth. He had truly underestimated this man. This man was tough, cunning and despicable. With the antidote in Lu Yan’s hands, he originally had the advantage over Gu Mohan. However, Gu Mohan had put everyone on the line, tarnishing Lu Yan’s reputation so he had no choice.
“President Gu, where is Long Er.”
Gu Mohan stretched out a palm, his eyes cold and unforgiving. “Give me the remaining antidote.”
Lu Yan gestured towards Wen Bin to pass the antidote to Gu Mohan.
Gu Mohan took out a bunch of car keys, “Long Er is in the trunk of the car.”
Lu Yan took the keys and Gu Mohan chuckled. “Lu Yan, you should be thankful towards me. Previously on the yacht, you made use of me to increase your status and power in the underworld. Now that I’ve caught the attention of Boss Long, you should take this chance to take over his turf and dominate the underworld. However, let me give you a little reminder, don’t provoke me in the future or you’ll just be inviting more trouble for yourself.”
Lu Yan narrowed his eyes. With the car keys in hand, he didn’t say another word and left.
…
After finding the car, Lu Yan immediately sat at the driver’s seat. Wen Bin immediately stopped him, “Big Boss, you can’t go alone. Boss Long is so brutal and cruel. Saving Miss is a very dangerous task. Why not deploy some men to go over or let us go on behalf of you?”
“It’s because Boss Long is so brutal and cruel, so I need to personally save my sister. Settle the deployment.”
Lu Yan stepped on the accelerator and left amidst the screech and scorching scent of burning rubber.
“Big Boss!”
All this time, An’an had witnessed everything. Seeing that Lu Yan was gone, An’an immediately hailed a taxi.
“Follow that car in front.”
