Fu Xu's words were like a sharp knife, piercing Gu Yan's heart and causing her to panic instantly. Her eyes were filled with fear, and she said in a trembling voice, "Don't do anything rash! Don't hurt my mom and Zhenzhen! They are my family..."

At this moment, Gu Yan had lost her usual calmness and rationality. Tears welled up in her eyes, as if they would burst out at any moment. She bit her lips tightly and clenched her fists, trying to restrain the fear in her heart, but her body trembled slightly uncontrollably.

When Fu Xu heard Gu Yan's trembling voice, he knew that Gu Yan must be helpless, and a trace of pity rose in his heart. But when he thought of his own purpose, he forced himself to suppress his pity and said coldly, "Do you want to save them? Then you have to listen to me."

Hearing this, Gu Yan quickly raised her head, her eyes full of anxiety: "What do you want me to do? As long as you don't hurt them, I can agree to it!" She knew that the current situation was extremely unfavorable to her, but in order to protect her family, she was willing to pay any price.

A few minutes later, Gu Yan got out of Zhao Qingqing's car and quickly called a taxi on his mobile phone.

During the few minutes she waited, she saw another car following them. It belonged to Gu Yihuai.

Gu Yan was in a state of confusion, and for a moment she couldn't figure out Gu Yihuai's thoughts, but that was a story for later.

In order to protect her mother and Zhenzhen, Gu Yan had to follow Fu Xu's instructions. She asked Zhao Qingqing to drive to the train station, and then she took a taxi to the place designated by Fu Xu.

When she finally saw her mother and Wu Zhenzhen, her heart was in her throat. She immediately rushed over to check on their health. After seeing that they were safe and sound, she felt relieved, but she still couldn't help blaming herself for not taking good care of them.

When she turned to look at Fu Xu, her eyes were filled with indescribable anger and haggardness, as if burning with rage. She stared at him intently, gritting her teeth and saying, "Fu Xu, are you crazy? You actually did such a thing. Do you know that this is kidnapping? What on earth do you want to do?"

"If it weren't for me, your mother would have been lost long ago. Gu Yihuai has been lying to you. It was my people who rescued your mother. Otherwise, do you really think that your friend Wu Zhenzhen successfully picked up your aunt at Jinghai Railway Station?"

Fu Xu has never been a person who would suffer in silence. After hearing his words, Gu Yan looked at Wu Zhenzhen.

Wu Zhenzhen nodded in agreement. "What he said was true. I didn't wait for Auntie at the train station. On the contrary, I found someone following me. At first, I suspected that Wu Liang's men had spotted me, but then I realized they were Uncle Gu's men."

It wasn't until this moment that Gu Yan finally realized that everything was manipulated by Gu Yihuai! From the very beginning, this old fox Gu Yihuai had no intention of letting Gu Yan and her daughter go, even hiding the fact that her mother was missing from her. He had been secretly plotting a conspiracy, leading them step by step into a desperate situation. And she had been kept in the dark, thinking that Gu Yihuai would have a conscience. Now it seems so ridiculous!

Gu Yan clearly understood that Fu Xu was not a kind-hearted person and would never enter into a deal that would lose him money. So, she bluntly asked, "So, what exactly do you want me to do? Just be frank. I'm not much use to you anymore anyway."

Gu Yan's eyes were empty and lifeless, as if she had lost all her vitality. Fu Xu felt a pang of pain in his heart when he saw this scene, but he still used his reason to remind himself to control his emotions.

After a while, Fu Xu slowly said, "Take my aunt with you and leave here with me. After all, haven't you and He Li completely broken up?"

"So, all of this was already within your expectations, Fu Xu. You are truly very clever."

From the moment Gu Yihuai appeared in Jinghai and deliberately revealed the relationship between Rongyu Group and Heli to Gu Yan, Gu Yan had completely fallen into Fu Xu's trap.

No matter how capable Gu Yihuai is, it is impossible for him to know these things, unless there is another black hand behind him, and the real owner of this black hand is Fu Xu.

Fu Xu certainly understood what Gu Yan meant. He stepped forward and gently stroked Gu Yan's face: "If I don't do this, will you come back to me obediently? Ah Yan, you forced me to do all this!"

As he spoke, Fu Xu's voice was filled with madness, and his eyes flashed with crazy light, as if he wanted to burn the whole world to ashes.

Gu Yan stood there quietly, gazing at Fu Xu with a firm and calm gaze. A strong anger welled up in her heart, but more of it was disappointment and contempt for this man.

"Now, as long as you are willing to give up everything and be with me, I promise that you will never be hurt in this life again." Fu Xu's voice was pleading. He stretched out his hand and tried to grab Gu Yan's shoulder, but she easily dodged it.

Gu Yan's lips curled up slightly, revealing a mocking smile. "Do you think I'm still the same Gu Yan who was manipulated and bullied by others back then?" Her voice was as cold as ice, and her eyes were full of disdain.

Fu Xu stared at Gu Yan with his eyes wide open in disbelief. He seemed to have never thought that Gu Yan would reject him so resolutely, without even a hint of hesitation.

"You are such a lunatic." Gu Yan said expressionlessly, with deep disgust in her tone.

Fu Xu's expression instantly turned ferocious, as if he'd been profoundly stimulated. He glared at Gu Yan with wide eyes, a deep growl emanating from his throat. "Why? Do you still love He Li? He can scheme against you, manipulate you, but why can't I? He can use you without scruples to control Gu Yihuai, making you the target of their attack, and yet you willingly let him use you! Even when you're hurt, you still love him!"

Gu Yan sneered, a look of determination flickering in her eyes. She straightened up, glaring back at Fu Xu fearlessly, and said coldly, "That's between He Li and me. It has nothing to do with you." Her voice was firm and resolute, without the slightest hint of backing down.

Fu Xu's body trembled slightly after hearing this, and a look of despair appeared on his face. He couldn't accept this fact, and couldn't understand why Gu Yan was so obsessed with He Li. Even though he had hurt her, she still loved him deeply. This emotion made him feel confused and helpless.

After Gu Yan finished speaking, she gazed at everything before her with a determined look. She took a deep breath, stepped forward, grasped her mother and Zhenzhen's hands, and resolutely prepared to leave this place of pain. However, just as they were about to take a step forward, four men dressed in black suddenly appeared in the corridor. They were tall, with stern faces, and exuded a chilling aura. Without a doubt, these men were Fu Xu's men.

"Gu Yan, since you're so determined to break up with me, I don't need to be merciful to you anymore. I'm putting this out there today: I'm going to marry you, whether you like it or not!" Fu Xu's voice came from a distance, cold and resolute. His eyes were fixed on Gu Yan, as if he wanted to devour her.

A wave of fear surged in Gu Yan's heart, but she didn't flinch. She held her mother and Zhenzhen's hands tightly, trying to offer them some comfort. Facing Fu Xu's threat, she stood straight and looked him in the eye without fear. She knew there was no way out now, and she could only face it bravely.

The atmosphere seemed frozen at that moment. Everyone was silent, their eyes locked in the air, filled with tension and hostility. However, just as the two sides reached a stalemate, a burst of crisp applause came from the air, breaking the silence.

"What a brilliant show! It's a shame the leading actor is such a disappointment. Even I, Huo Shucheng, can't stand it." Huo Shucheng's voice, tinged with mockery and ridicule, echoed in the air. His presence was like a stone dropped into a calm lake, stirring up ripples.

Hearing this familiar voice, Gu Yan and Fu Xu couldn't help but look up.

How come Huo Shucheng appears here?

What does his arrival mean?

The two of them secretly speculated about each other's intentions.

"Huo Shucheng, this has nothing to do with you. Please don't interfere in the matter between me and Gu Yan."

Hearing Fu Xu's words, Huo Shucheng just raised his eyebrows: "That won't do. I have to be loyal to the person who entrusted me with the task. Fu Xu, you absolutely cannot take Miss Gu Yan away today."

Fu Xu looked at Huo Shucheng, with annoyance in his eyes. After all, this was on Jinghai's territory. He had stayed here for too long, and he was not completely sure that He Li would really give up Gu Yan.

Every minute of delay means an increased chance of failure.

"Boss Huo, it was He Li who asked you to come, right? Where is he?"

Huo Shucheng is not a person who likes to meddle in other people's affairs. The only reasonable explanation for his appearance here is that He Li has reached some kind of agreement with him in private.

"Miss Gu, you're not that stupid. It's just that Mr. He doesn't want to meet you right now. He has more important things to do. He told me that no matter what happens today, I must protect you."

When it comes to Gu Yan, He Li would never delegate the matter to anyone else. However, today, even though he knew that Fu Xu would take Gu Yan away, he actually entrusted the matter to Huo Shucheng. This shows that He Li is heartbroken about Gu Yan.

"By the way, Mr. Fu, I heard that Mr. Fu's health has been very poor these past few days. Are you really not going back to fulfill your filial duty to your father?"

Fu Xu didn't want to delay any longer. He knew that he couldn't take Gu Yan away today no matter what. But it didn't matter. At least this trip was not really in vain.

"Ayan, if you figure it out one day, feel free to contact me. You know my phone number."

Fu Xu has absolute confidence that there is no going back between Gu Yan and He Li.
