Not long after she got up, she received a call from Lo Shintong asking her to go to the library. For a talented Chinese student like Lo Shintong, the library was a paradise, but for her, it was just a place for peace and quiet, with no gossip, only the scent of books and the smell of Mo Xiang accompanying her.
After tidying herself up a bit, she went out the door, but after she walked out of the building, she suddenly felt that something wasn't quite right. For example, in front of her empty building, where almost no cars stopped, a long business car suddenly stopped.
She didn't know why, but she suddenly had a bad feeling. She turned around and rushed into the building, but she was a step too late. A few tall men came out of the MPV and held her back.
She struggled to cry out, but one of them covered her mouth with a handkerchief and she fainted.
At this moment, Viscount Gu Mo City's office.
Gu Mo Cheng was dressed in a grey suit. He was calm, wise, and had an extraordinary temperament. He did not even raise his head as he reviewed the documents and ignored the beautiful secretary standing in front of him.
Half a day later, after he had finished reviewing the pile of documents in front of him, he saw that his beautiful secretary had not left and could not help but ask casually with his thick eyebrows.
"What's the matter?"
"Boss, I have something to report!"
Long Yi said with a smile.
"Oh? What is it? It can't be a private matter, right? "
Gu Mo Cheng glanced at her empty hands. If she wanted to report something, she would bring her precious notebook.
His boss' gaze towards him made the beautiful lady extremely unhappy, and she couldn't help but stress up her tone.
"Boss, it's not my personal matter, it's yours!"
Gu Mo Cheng fell backwards, his arms crossed as he casually leaned back in his chair in a lazy and enchanting position. He then signaled her with his eyes to continue speaking, and he took a step forward to report with a dragon's intent.
"Boss, today is your wedding anniversary!"
The corner of Gu Mo Cheng's mouth curved into a smile.
"And then?"
Of course he remembered. How could he not remember the day he chose it himself? From this day onwards, his beautiful revenge officially began.
"And?"
Hearing him casually ask that question, Long Yi could no longer hold it in. He slapped his boss's table and raised his voice slightly.
"Shouldn't the boss take sister-in-law out for a romance? "As far as I know, none of you had a honeymoon!"
Gu Mo Cheng narrowed his eyes and stared at her for a long time before saying with a thoughtful expression,
"That's a good idea!"
"Right!"
When Long Yi heard this, he was overjoyed. He immediately struck the iron while it was still hot.
"Hey hey boss, shouldn't you give me a raise?"
Just as she was expectantly waiting for the boss to confirm, Gu Mo Cheng's phone sharply rang. Gu Mo Cheng picked up the phone and only said a few words before his face suddenly darkened. When Long Yi saw this expression, he couldn't help but shiver.
According to her many years of observation, every time her boss had a frown on his face and pursed his lips into a straight line, it meant that he was thoroughly infuriated.
She carefully glanced at her boss's face, then heard her boss say indifferently,
"What does her life or death have to do with me?"
Her heart trembled. Whose life or death?
Gu Mo Cheng spoke coldly, and the person on the phone did not seem to expect him to be so heartless.
"Even if you don't care about her life or death, shouldn't Second Young Master Gu come and collect the corpse of his wife?" Then let's do it this way, the stone bridge by the sea, we'll meet again and again! "
The man on the other end of the phone laughed sinisterly and hung up.
"SHIT!"
Gu Mo Cheng cursed under his breath as he grabbed the car keys on the table and dashed out of the door with a cold expression. He whistled past and caused a gust of cold wind to blow.
Gu Mo Cheng drove all the way to the seaside. The person on the phone just said that it was his and her wedding anniversary. Someone was going to give them a special present.
As he neared the sea, the fishy smell of the sea entered his nostrils and his face gradually turned pale. The fingers holding the steering wheel could not help but secretly tighten, even to the bone, layers and layers of white.
That year, when his parents had nowhere to go, they had carried him into the sea to commit suicide in the ice-cold snowstorm. His parents had died, of course, while he had been saved by the lucky old man Long Sheng.
That was why the others' villas were at the beautiful seaside while he was at the deepest part of the city.
As soon as he got close to the sea and smelled the salty smell, the bone-chilling coldness of that year, the suffocating pain of being tightly surrounded by the sea water, the fear of watching his life slowly fade away surged into his mind, making him wish he was dead.
He didn't know if he was crazy or if it was out of guilt towards her. After all, with her indifferent personality, she shouldn't have offended someone so ruthless. Perhaps his enemy had done it.
That was why he had come to save her! That must be it! That must be it! He told himself over and over in his mind, holding his breath as he sped toward the stone bridge the man was talking about.
From far away, he saw a white figure being grabbed by a tall man wearing sunglasses. The wine red hair on his head was messed up by the sea breeze.
Her body leaned limply against the man. He could tell that she had been drugged, but he didn't know if she was conscious or not. His expression was fierce and dark. He parked the car by the side of the road and ran in that direction.
The chilly sea breeze and the fishy smell of the sea water made his head tingle. He couldn't help but slow down, and he even staggered a little.
He covered his head and leaned against the nearby railing to calm the pain that was stronger than before. He had seen a doctor with this illness before, and the doctor said that he was mentally ill.
He braced himself to look in the direction of the little woman, only to find that the man had actually picked up her and tossed her into the sea. He then whistled madly in his direction, jumped into the next van, and disappeared without a trace.
He was stunned by the man's actions. Looking at the petite figure fall down from the fence and disappear from his sight, he felt as if his chest was hit by some kind of blunt instrument. His already pale face turned even paler, and the pain in his head became even more unbearable.
"Help — help!"
He only came back to his senses when he heard the little girl's mournful cry.
"Mu Yurou —"
He muttered something in a low voice and dashed toward the spot where she had fallen.
She gradually came to her senses after the sea breeze blew by, but her body was still soft and could not move. Now that she was thrown into the sea, the stimulation of the ice-cold sea water and her strong desire to survive made her body filled with strength.
However, she couldn't swim so she could only keep on drinking the seawater while floating. Looking at the empty sea, she gradually began to despair and her consciousness began to blur. Was it possible that the heavens were destined for her to die here?
Ever since she was young, she hated water, because once when Mu Xi Yan purposely pushed her into an artificial lake in the backyard, causing her to almost drown to death. If Lin Wen Cheng hadn't appeared in time, she would have already died.
As an adult, Lin Wen Cheng had taught her how to swim, but every time she had to wear so little to face Lin Wen Cheng face to face, and she had to be taught how to swim by him in the pool. Furthermore, she couldn't learn it no matter how many times she tried, so she decided to give up. Thus, Lin Wen Cheng didn't force her.
"Mu Yurou —"
Just as her consciousness was gradually getting fuzzy from the past, a loud shout from the shore pulled her consciousness back a bit.
