Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

"Leave me?"

I could hardly believe my ears; the other party had actually made such an unreasonable request!

Gu Yichen's face turned ashen; he was clearly enraged by the other party's shamelessness.

The person on the other end of the phone chuckled, as if mocking our ignorance: "What, you can't bear to part with him? Don't forget, your father's life and the safety of your family are all in my hands."

"You're despicable!" I couldn't help but yell angrily into the phone, "Do you think you can threaten us like this?"

"Threat? No, I'm just giving you a choice."

The other person's voice remained calm, yet it sent chills down one's spine: "Think carefully, do you want your company, or your family and loved ones?"

After saying that, the other party hung up the phone, leaving only the jarring busy tone on the phone.

Gu Yichen's knuckles were white as he gripped his phone. I knew he must be going through immense torment.

"Gu Yichen, don't listen to him! We can't bow down to evil forces!"

I held his hand tightly, wanting to give him strength.

"I know, but..."

Gu Yichen closed his eyes in pain, "I can't risk your safety and that of our family."

I understand his concerns. If the other party were to really go so far as to attack us, the consequences would be unimaginable.

But is there really no other way to just give up the company and all his hard work over the years?

"No, there must be another way," I said firmly. "We can call the police, we can seek legal help!"

Gu Yichen shook his head and gave a bitter smile: "It's no use. Since the other party dared to do this, they must have made thorough preparations. We have no evidence, so even if we call the police, it will be of no use."

Just when we were at our wits' end, the adorable child who had been silent all along suddenly spoke up: "Daddy, we can be like Superman and defeat the bad guys!"

The child's words were like a bolt of lightning, instantly illuminating the fog before our eyes.

Yes, why must we always be the ones to passively take a beating?

We can take the initiative, find the opponent's weaknesses, and turn defeat into victory!

A bold plan gradually took shape in my mind... "Gu Yichen, we can't just sit here and wait to die."

I took a deep breath, trying to stay calm. "Do you believe me?"

He raised his head, a complex light flickering in his deep eyes: "I believe you, but..."

"No buts!" I interrupted him. "We can't just give up like this; we have to fight back!"

I laid out my plan in its entirety. After listening, Gu Yichen frowned, clearly indicating that my plan was too risky. However, he did not immediately dismiss it but instead fell into deep thought.

“This is too dangerous…” he said in a low voice. “I don’t want you to get hurt.”

“I know what you’re worried about,” I said, holding his hand firmly. “But if we do nothing, we’ll just be at their mercy. I won’t let you face all of this alone.”

Just then, the little boy ran over, hugged Gu Yichen's leg, and said in a childish voice, "Daddy, I want to help too! I want to defeat the monster like Ultraman!"

We were all amused by the child's innocent words, and the originally tense atmosphere eased considerably.

“Yes, Dad,” I said with a smile, patting my child’s head, “we are all Ultraman, we can defeat monsters together!”

The child's words were like a tiny seed, planting a bud of hope in Gu Yichen's and my hearts.

Yes, we can't give up like this. For ourselves, for our families, for the future, we must fight bravely!

“Alright,” Gu Yichen finally nodded, his eyes blazing with fighting spirit, “Let’s fight together!”

His eyes were full of strength, and I knew he was ready to meet the challenge. I would stand firmly by his side and fight alongside him!

The little boy seemed to sense our determination, clapping his hands happily and shouting, "Defeat the monster! Defeat the monster!"

Children's happiness is so simple and pure, which has strengthened my belief.

To protect this innocence, to protect our love and family, we will surely win!

A resolute light shone in Gu Yichen's deep eyes.

He scooped up the adorable child and lifted him above his head, his hearty laughter breaking the gloom of the past few days: "Alright! Let's be Ultraman and defeat the monster!"

In the days that followed, we began tense, secret preparations.

During the day, Gu Yichen pretended to compromise and dealt with the mysterious person while secretly collecting evidence.

I used my professional knowledge to develop a meticulous plan, contact reliable contacts, and proceed step by step. Late at night, we would hide in the study, and by the dim light, we would rehearse each step again and again, striving to ensure that nothing went wrong.

However, our actions still alerted Du Yue.

She started appearing at the company frequently, monitoring Gu Yichen's every move, and even sent people to follow us.

The atmosphere at home was extremely oppressive, like the calm before a storm.

"Be careful, she seems to be starting to suspect us." I lowered my voice and handed a note to Gu Yichen.

He took the note, which read: "Du Yue met with a private investigator this afternoon."

Gu Yichen frowned, crumpled the note into a ball, and threw it into the trash can next to him.

"I understand, I'll try to stall her."

The oppressive feeling of impending storm finally erupted on a stormy night.

The torrential rain pounded against the windows, as if trying to swallow everything. I gripped Gu Yichen's hand tightly, my palms clammy with cold sweat.

"It's time, let's go!" Gu Yichen's eyes revealed a resolute determination.

I picked up my sleeping baby and, following Gu Yichen, quietly left home under the cover of night.

In the midst of a raging storm, a black sedan carried us into the unknown darkness...

The car finally stopped at a secluded dock, where the biting sea wind, mixed with rain, stung our faces.

Looking at the turbulent sea before me, I felt a deep sense of unease.

"Where are we going?" I couldn't help but ask.

Gu Yichen didn't answer, but simply held my hand tightly and led us onto a dilapidated fishing boat.

With the roar of the engine, the fishing boat slowly sailed away from the dock and disappeared into the vast night...
