On the day of his whirlwind wedding, the heir to a wealthy family stood up!

Gu Heting's face tightened. "When did you see her walking this way?"

"About ten minutes ago! I saw her disappear into this woods." After saying that, the bodyguard pointed in another direction and said, "Mr. Gu, look there are some broken branches over there. It seems like someone has been here."

Gu Heting strode forward, the bodyguard in front of him continuing to lead the way, getting further and further away from the group, and the surrounding sky growing increasingly dark. Gu Heting narrowed his eyes, and seeing that the bodyguard in front of him seemed to be intentionally trying to lead him to follow, he stopped.

The bodyguard turned to look at Gu Heting, somewhat surprised, and said, "Mr. Gu, why aren't you leaving? What if something happens to Miss Xu?"

"Who exactly are you? Where did you take Xu Yuan?" Gu Heting asked in a shout.

The bodyguard was taken aback. He hadn't expected Gu Heting to see through him so quickly. He sneered, "Mr. Gu, since you know, you'd better cooperate with me obediently, otherwise you'll never see Xu Yuan again."

"Damn it! Where is she?!" Gu Heting angrily punched him.

The bodyguard raised his hand to block, and at the same time attacked him, saying, "Mr. Gu, if you want me to tell you, then come with me obediently, and I guarantee she won't die."

Gu Heting was worried about Xu Yuan's safety, so he attacked ruthlessly. Although the bodyguard was also quite skilled, he was still knocked to the ground with one punch. Gu Heting grabbed his collar and punched him twice more. "Tell me, where is she!"

The bodyguard, his mouth full of blood, grinned smugly. "Gu Heting, you'll never see her again. Tonight, he'll be devoured by wolves. She's somewhere none of you will ever find her."

Although the bodyguard was no match for Gu Heting, he had to hold out until reinforcements arrived. Just then, footsteps came from the bushes below, and the first mercenary rushed up, brandishing a dagger. "Oh! It's him!"

Gu Heting stared intently at the four men who had suddenly appeared. He immediately understood that these people were all after him. Who wanted to kill him? And who knew his route this time?

Taking advantage of the opportunity, the bodyguard who was being beaten pushed Gu Heting aside and ran behind the mercenary, shouting, "That's him! He's your target this time. Kill him!"

Gu Heting looked at the four men with sinister appearances, then fixed his gaze on the bodyguard and shouted sharply, "Where is she!"

The bodyguard sneered, "You're about to die, you should worry about yourself instead of her."

"Who sent you? I'll give you ten times the price and return her to me," Gu Heting said through gritted teeth. At this moment, in his eyes, his own life and death were secondary; only Xu Yuan's life and death mattered most.

The four men immediately formed a circle around Gu Heting, and a duel between one against four was about to begin.

Xu Yuan, who was hidden in the bushes, slowly woke up. She rubbed her sore neck and stood up. A bad feeling made her ignore the pain and run to the assembly point. At this moment, two team members had already returned to drink water. When they saw Xu Yuan suddenly appear, they were overjoyed. "Captain, Captain, where did you go? We all went out to look for you. We were so scared."

"A bodyguard knocked me out just now. Is everyone alright?" Xu Yuan asked.

The two male team members were startled. "What? You were knocked unconscious by the bodyguards?"

At this moment, Gao Yang also returned, covered in sweat, with four bodyguards behind him. They looked at Xu Yuan with surprise and delight, "Miss Xu, you're finally back! Our Young Master Gu was almost frantic with worry."

"Where is he?" Xu Yuan asked hurriedly.

"Uh! He seems to have gone in that direction, why hasn't he come back yet?"

Xu Yuan immediately pulled Gao Yang aside and asked urgently, "Gao Yang, can Brother Gu's bodyguards be trusted?"

“They have all been with President Gu for four or five years, so of course they are trustworthy.”

"But one of his bodyguards knocked me unconscious just now. I don't know what his purpose is, but he is definitely not a good person."

"What?" Gao Yang's expression changed as he immediately realized the bodyguard's identity; he was the last one to join the team, having only been there for a year.

"Oh no, he's the one who led President Gu to you. Could something have happened to President Gu?" Gao Yang quickly realized.

"Quick, take some people to find him!" Xu Yuan cried out in desperation, realizing she had been used.

Gao Yang strode up to the four bodyguards and told them about Gu Heting's current situation. The four bodyguards immediately returned to their luggage and took out the weapons they had brought with them, which were iron bars, all for the purpose of protecting themselves from wild wolves.

"This way, come with me quickly!" Gao Yang rushed off in one direction with his bodyguards. At this moment, Xu Yuan was about to rush over as well, but her teammate grabbed her. "Sister Yuan, don't go, it's too dangerous."

Xu Yuan knew that her presence would only be a burden. She knelt weakly on the ground, panting, and looked in the direction where Gu Heting had disappeared, hoping that he would appear soon.

Gao Yang and his bodyguards arrived at the woods 200 meters away, where they saw Gu Heting being pinned to the ground by four opponents. His body and face were covered in bruises, but he showed no sign of bowing his head or showing weakness.

"President Gu!" Gao Yang exclaimed, and four bodyguards immediately joined the fight, holding back the mercenaries.

Despite being covered in injuries, Gu Heting still managed to get up as he watched the bodyguard retreat. "Where is she! Where is she?"

Gao Yang immediately stepped forward to support him. "Mr. Gu, Miss Xu has returned safely. She was knocked unconscious by this bastard, but she's fine now."

Gu Heting exclaimed with surprise and excitement, "Really? Really?"

"It's true, she's back."

The mercenaries realized that Gu Heting's bodyguards were not easy to deal with. At that moment, they saw several figures rushing towards them. Seeing that things were not going well, the four of them quickly rushed into the dense forest and disappeared.

At this moment, Xu Yuan rushed down the mountain led by four team members and two guides. When she saw Gao Yang supporting Gu Heting, tears of self-reproach welled up in her eyes.

"It's all my fault, it's all my fault," Xu Yuan said, covering her face and blaming herself.

Gu Heting stepped forward and said gently, "It's not your fault, it's mine. I misjudged people."

“I heard that Wang Zhen is a gambler in private. He must be heavily in debt and has been bribed. Mr. Gu, you should investigate who’s behind him when you get back,” one of the bodyguards reminded him.

A flash of anger crossed Gu Heting's eyes. He had already thought it through. He had only told the two vice presidents in the company about his schedule. Who would want him dead? And who would benefit from his death?

The cruelest thing in the world is when even one's own family members try to kill them.

"Hiss..." Gu Heting had just fought four opponents and was already injured in many places. Xu Yuan hurriedly said, "Please help him back and I'll check his injuries."
