After the divorce, the CEO forced me to have his child.

"We're the ones who're going to take your life!" the leader arrogantly snorted. Because he was wearing a mask, his voice didn't sound normal; he must have been using a voice changer.

He Yi looked him over carefully and felt that he looked familiar. Then he remembered Wen Shiren.

The other person's build does indeed resemble Wen Shih-jen's!

"Are you Wen Shih-jen?"

The man was taken aback, then ordered his men, "Tie him up!"

The thugs swarmed in.

As the heir of the He family, He Yi had learned martial arts and was quite skilled, so dealing with these people wouldn't be difficult. The problem was that he was with Gu Zhiyao, which made things different.

He was holding Gu Zhiyao in his arms, and could only use his feet to resist them, occasionally freeing up one hand.

But these people were no ordinary people either. Soon, He Yi was hit on the arm with a stick. He knew that if this continued, he would surely lose, so he had no choice but to put Gu Zhiyao down first.

Soon, he knocked several of the other men down.

Just then, a sharp scream rang out, "He Yi, if you don't want your little lover to die before tomorrow, you'd better stop right now!"

He Yi paused, his dark eyes turning sharp and cold as he looked at Wen Shiren.

Wen Shih-jen, wearing a wide-mouthed grinning mask, looked ferocious and evil. "Since it's a game, it naturally has to be fun and exciting. I've given your little lover a drug; if she doesn't have the antidote within 24 hours, she'll vomit blood and die! Think about it, do you still want to fight us?"

He Yi's expression changed drastically, and he glared at Wen Shiren with a cold look in his eyes.

"Don't believe me? Then go ahead and try. Anyway, it's just one woman. Although she's pretty and a stunning beauty, with your status as Young Master He, what kind of stunning beauty don't you have?"

"Wen Shiren!" He Yi roared through gritted teeth, his voice filled with a destructive force.

Normally, Wen Shiren might have been wary and afraid, but today, He Yi was clearly completely under his control, and he had already decided to teach He Yi a lesson, so he wasn't afraid at all and ordered his men to tie He Yi up.

Although He Yi was not entirely convinced that Wen Shiren had actually poisoned Gu Zhiyao, he didn't dare to gamble and ended up being tied up.

He thought to himself, "Let's see what this good-for-nothing Wen Shih-jen is up to."

Wen Shih-jen kicked He Yi several times, accompanied by a string of curses.

"I'll show you what's what! You think you're so great just because you're He Yi? You dared to conspire with Tengfei Group to frame our Wen family, and you've been going against me at every turn. You think I'm afraid of you? I've wanted to deal with you for a long time! Let's see how arrogant you are now! So what if you're the heir of the He family? You're still under my feet!"

These two kicks were not light. Even though He Yi had a foundation in martial arts, he could clearly feel a shock, a tremor that came from his internal organs.

Wen Shih-jen continued kicking He Yi, from his arms to his legs and abdomen, kicking him all the way while arrogantly cursing him.

He Yi was furious, but unfortunately he was powerless to fight back.

"Take him down!"

He Yi then discovered that there was another door inside the warehouse, which led to the basement!

He and Gu Zhiyao were pushed into the tunnel. With a loud bang, the tunnel door was closed, and Wen Shiren and his group were kept out!

That good-for-nothing actually came up with such a sophisticated plan!

He Yi was just tied up and his phone was taken away. Luckily, he had an extra phone, a habit he developed many years ago in case of an emergency.

The phone was mini, about the size of a palm, but it had all the necessary functions. He Yi quickly turned it on to send a distress signal, only to find that the phone had no signal.

No matter what I do, there's no signal.

He then turned on the flashlight, and the darkness instantly illuminated the surroundings, revealing a secret room of less than twenty square meters!

There was nothing around!

The air was filled with an unpleasant musty smell.

After surveying the dark room, He Yi's gaze naturally returned to Gu Zhiyao.

Despite knowing her for so long, he had never really looked at her properly. When he did those things, he had a mission and a purpose in mind, and he just went straight for her without paying any attention to her face. Whenever he saw her, he was filled with disgust and hatred.

Although her face wasn't as bright and dazzling as Yuanyuan's, stunningly beautiful, it was clean and pure, with a touch of girlish innocence and naivety.

Actually, she's not that young, she's 23, but she looks very young overall, as if she's just come of age.

Her tiny face, no bigger than the palm of your hand, seemed so fragile that it could be crushed with the slightest pinch.

However, He Yi knew very well that this seemingly delicate and innocent little woman was actually more stubborn than anyone else. Thinking of how he had been driven to the point of losing control by her time and time again, his dark eyes couldn't help but darken.

Just then, a series of low murmurs filled the silent air.

"Baby, you're all I have left. Where are you? I can't see you. I'm sorry, I couldn't protect you. I will definitely avenge you. I will make those who poisoned you pay with their blood!"

"He Yi, please let me go! I just want to keep him, to give birth to him, and to let him grow up properly. I won't get in your way! You can hate me, but please don't hurt the baby. He's your child too, with your blood flowing in his veins. Why are you so cruel? Don't you feel any pain? Please, He Yi, let him go, or I'll give my life for the baby's."

"Wen Ya, Zheng Yuanxi, you vicious executioners, I will not let you go! You will all die a horrible death!"

"Brother He Yi..."

"Gu Zhiyao, Gu Zhiyao..." He Yi quickly called out as well.

But she didn't respond; she was clearly still unconscious, and those muttered words were unintentional.

The anger in his eyes disappeared, and He Yi stared at her blankly before reaching out to pull her close to his chest.

Gu Zhiyao calmed down and curled up in his arms, but after a while, her soft body twisted slightly and she raised her head.

“Brother He Yi, I want to be your wife. When I grow up, I will marry you and have many, many babies for you.”

He Yi was startled again, then cried out urgently, "Gu Zhiyao, you're awake? Gu Zhiyao..."

However, all she saw was a blank stare in her eyes, filled with deep sorrow and despair. After staring at him for a moment, she closed her eyes again.

"Gu Zhiyao!" He Yi was immediately confused.

What is that brat doing?

She would talk for a while, then open her eyes and wake up, only to fall asleep again a while later.

He almost thought he was hallucinating.

But he could still vividly remember what she had just said, and how she called him "Brother He Yi!"

On the day Wen Ya caused her to miscarry, he rushed to save her. She said some strange things to him and called him Brother He Yi.

Why does she always call him that?!

This familiar yet long-lost name.

Many years ago, in the dark room of the orphanage, during that fire, that's exactly what Yuanyuan called him.

Yes, that's Yuanyuan!

Gu Zhiyao couldn't help but...

He Yi stared intently at Gu Zhiyao, feeling increasingly strange and puzzled.
