Chapter 90 - I've prepared for the worst

Gu Wuyang didn’t sleep all night and kept looking for Tang Anran, but he still got nothing.

He also doubted if Li Wenbo took Tang Anran away before and ordered some people to Li family watching on him all night. However, Li Wenbo didn’t have any strange behavior. Obviously, Tang Anran wasn’t there.

Then Gu Wuyang checked the surveillance video on that road, but he just could see a man taking Tang Anran away and couldn’t see his face because of the dim light.

Tang Anran just came here and didn’t know many people. Besides, she had no conflicts with others. Who did that? Gu Wuyang was really confused and couldn’t figure it out. What he could do now was ordering more people to look for her.

At the night, Gu Wuyang suddenly received a call from a stranger.

It was a man who called Gu Wuyang and said that he had picked up some money on which was written his phone number and the information for help.

Immediately, Gu Wuyang knew that it was Tang Anran who asked for his help and rushed to the place which the man told him with no thinking.

It was a dilapidated six-storey building which had been deserted.

“I found the money here.” The man showed the money to Gu Wuyang and pointed aside, “This building has been dilapidated for years and I lived in the new residential building nearby. I hanged around with my friend after dinner and then I found the money.”

“Yes. We have heard similar news before on television. So after we saw the number on the money, we called you at once.” The friend of the man added.

Gu Wuyang watched the words written on the money carefully. After he confirmed that it was written by Tang Anran, he relieved a bit.

“Thanks a lot.” Gu Wuyang thanked them gratefully and then gave them the money as the gift.

After several times of refusing, they accepted the money in the end and left.

Looking at the dilapidated building, Gu Wuyang couldn’t wait any longer and rushed in with some followers directly.

Since the building was dilapidated for years, there was nobody living here, so that Gu Wuyang could only search the room one by one.

Having searched for more than ten rooms, Gu Wuyang still didn’t find Tang Anran. He began to doubt whether Tang Anran was still here until he arrived at the third floor.

Gu Wuyang found that there was a room where the garbage was put in front of and the door handle was clean. Obviously, someone lived here.

Due to the good sound insulation of the iron door, both Xu Chen and Tang Anran didn’t hear the sound of smashing the door and had no idea that there were several people standing outside.

In case of causing an unnecessary accident, Gu Wuyang asked his followers to hide on both sides, and then he knocked the iron door lightly.

Inside, Xu Chen and Tang Anran stunned at the same time after they heard someone knocking at the door. Looking at the door, Xu Chen’s face was filled with the nervousness while Tang Anran’s face was filled with expectation.

Closing the book, Xu Chen walked to Tang Anran quickly and covered her mouth before she shouted out.

Tang Anran knew clearly that it might be the only chance for her to be saved, so she tried to move his hand away but she failed. In the end, she bit on his hand heavily.

In the beginning, Xu Chen kept covering her mouth but Tang Anran also bit on his hand tightly. Due to the huge pain, Xu Chen had no options but released his hand in the end.

As soon as he released his hand, Tang Anran shouted a “help” out immediately.

Hearing Tang Anran’s voice, Gu Wuyang who stood outside dared not to lose time and shouted, “Ranran, don’t worry. I’m here now!”

After Tang Anran recognized Gu Wuyang’s voice, she finally relaxed.

Thank God. She won.

The iron door was locked, so Gu Wuyang couldn’t open it either and waited for his followers to get the tool. Meanwhile, inside the room, Xu Chen ignored the injury on his hand and took out the knife that he had hidden under the bed walking to Tang Anran.

“I was not going to kill you before. Now that you are looking for death, I would like to do you a favor.” With his eyebrows drawn together, Xu Chen gritted his teeth and then he raised the knife cutting toward Tang Anran’s neck after he said that.

Tang Anran was scared and rolled away immediately, avoiding his attack.

“Xu Chen, there were many people outside to save me. You will go to jail if you kill me now.” Tang Anran stood up from the ground and retreated several steps, trying to calm Xu Chen’s emotion.

However, Xu Chen shook his head with a wry smile, “I’ve prepared for the worst. Sorry, I must kill you.” Then, he approached Tang Anran slowly with the knife.

Tang Anran was clear that it would cost Gu Wuyang some time to open the iron door. So before Gu Wuyang came in, she must gain the time by herself.

Looking at Xu Chen in front of her, a name suddenly appeared in her mind.

She grabbed Xu Chen’s hand with a lot of effort in case of being hurt by the knife in his hand and then she said in a hurry, “You don’t care about yourself, then what about Yang Qing? Don’t you care about her neither?”

Hearing Yang Qing’s name, Xu Chen stunned at once. Before he recovered from his thoughts, Tang Anran continued to say.

“Listen! The people outside worked for the Gu’s company and now all of them knew that it was Yang Qing who did it. If I die, they won’t let her go!”

“You must think about it carefully. One knife falls down, three people will die.”

Hearing Tang Anran’s words, Xu Chen’s hand was trembling. Obviously, what she said worked and Xu Chen began to waver.

The one he cared most in the world was Yang Qing, and he wouldn’t do anything that would hurt her.

Outside, Gu Wuyang heard their conversation and was extremely anxious. He wished that he could get in now, but the person who went to get the tool still didn’t come back and he had no other way to open the door.

While Gu Wuyang was burning with anxiety, a sound of “Kuang Dang” — the knife fell down on the ground suddenly– came from inside. Then Gu Wuyang couldn’t hear any voice of Tang Anran.

Gu Wuyang’s body was stuffed and all his blood in his body was frozen at this moment by the coldness rising from his heart.

“Anran, Tang Anran!” He hit the door crazily with his eyes totally turning red.

He dared not imagine what had happened inside just now, because he could not accept any bad result.

“I’m okay.” Hearing Gu Wuyang’s shouting, Tang Anran answered immediately and then opened the iron door with the key that Xu Chen gave to her.

As soon as the door was opened, Gu Wuyang rushed in at once and held Tang Anran in his arms.

His hands on her waist tighten up slowly. Tang Anran could feel that his body was trembling now.

Actually, Tang Anran was also not 100 percent sure that she could persuade Xu Chen just now. But luckily, Xu Chen was not a really bad person with no conscience and he really cared about Yang Qing. So she won again.

After a while, Gu Wuyang finally released his hands and looked up and down on Tang Anran for many times, then he rested assured finally.

Staring at Xu Chen who was controlled by his followers now with his violence eyes, Gu Wuyang said in a cold voice, “Take him to the police.”

“Wait!” After Tang Anran heard what he said, she stopped him immediately, “He didn’t hurt me at all. Can we just let him go?”

Tang Anran knew clearly that if he really wanted to kill her, he could do it when she was in a daze last night.

But he didn’t. Except for locking her in the room, he didn’t do anything to hurt her. Besides, he even bought some foods for her.

Although he did plan to kill her just now, in the end, he still gave up and didn’t hurt her. So Tang Anran forgave him now.

However, Gu Wuyang was still mad at him. Even if he didn’t hurt Tang Anran, Gu Wuyang still sent him to the police instead of letting him go easily.

But he used the reason of fighting and hurting people, so Xu Chen just needed to stay in jail for a few days.

Xu Chen didn’t raise any objection about this result. After all, he thought he would definitely die before and wouldn’t have a chance to see Yang Qing again. At least, now he got a better result than what he imagined before.

Before he was taken by the police, Xu Chen thanked Tang Anran gratefully, felicitating himself on that he didn’t kill her at that time.

After coming back to the villa, Tang Anran took a shower at once.

Tang Anran felt better and when she just walked out the bathroom, she saw Gu Wuyang coming with a service plate holding in his hands.

“I asked Anti Zhang to cook your favorite food, sour pork ribs, and chicken soup. Come and eat!” While he was speaking, Gu Wuyang put the plate on the table before the sofa.

Tang Anran walked over and smiled after she smelled the delicious food, ” I’ve just eaten two Baozi since last night. Now I’m really hungry.”

“Then enjoy your meal now.” Gu Wuyang pulled her to sit on the sofa and then served a bowl of chicken soup for her.

Taking a sip of chicken soup, Tang Anran felt her whole stomach got warm and the entire person of her was relaxed totally.

After she had the soup, Tang Anran had some rice and the sour pork ribs.

Then she put the chopsticks down when she was full. Sitting cross-legged on the sofa, Tang Anran held Gu Wuyang’s hand. Her figure scratched his palm and then she said, ” Are you still angry with me?”

Although Gu Wuyang talked with her all the time since they came back, he kept a long face with a lower momentum. So Tang Anran thought that he must be angry.

Ignoring her question, Gu Wuyang asked, “What are you going to do with Yang Qing?”

“There are still more than 20 days. For now, we don’t need to do anything but wait.” Leaning on Gu Wuyang’s shoulder with her head, ” As she wished, I won’t show up recently since she wants me to disappear. But I need you to do something for me.”

Then Tang Anran put her mouth close to his ear and whispered in a low voice.

After hearing her plan, Gu Wuyang nodded understandingly and then ordered someone to do it at once.

Next day morning, Li Wen bo woke up and he took the phone on the bedstand as usual, then he saw a message from a strange phone number.

After he read the message, his face changed and then he got up immediately, rushing to Yang Qing’s room.

Yang Qing just stayed in the hospital for five days, then she went back to Li’s house. After she came back, Li Wenbo didn’t want to sleep in the same room with her so she moved to the second bedroom.

She didn’t have the habit of locking the door when she was sleeping, so Li Wenbo could kick the door open directly and came in. He walked to the bed and pulled up Yang Qing who was still sleeping now.

Yang Qing was still in a daze and didn’t know what happened.

“Yang Qing, you son of bitch. How dare you cheat on me! I will kill you today!” Li Wenbo’s eyes turned red and while he was cursing, he slapped on Yang Qing’s face heavily.

Being slapped constantly, Yang Qing totally woke up right now.

With her hand covering on her face, Yang Qing stood up from the ground and stared at him angrily, “Li Wenbo, what’s wrong with you!”

“You ask me? Aha?” Li Wenbo was so angry that his entire body was trembling now, ” You know what you’ve done!”

Gu Wuyang didn’t sleep all night and kept looking for Tang Anran, but he still got nothing.

He also doubted if Li Wenbo took Tang Anran away before and ordered some people to Li family watching on him all night. However, Li Wenbo didn’t have any strange behavior. Obviously, Tang Anran wasn’t there.
