Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

So similar! My hands trembled as I dialed back, only to hear a busy signal.

Photos, threats, dockside warehouses... all of this foreshadows a massive crisis that is about to unfold.

I gripped my phone tightly, trying to calm myself down. I couldn't panic; I needed to make sure Gu Yichen was safe first.

I immediately dialed Gu Yichen's number, but no one answered.

A terrible thought came to mind: had he already fallen into their hands?

No, no, I can't let my mind wander.

I kept telling myself to stay calm, and then I dialed Lu Mingxuan's number.

"Hey, Yan Yan, why aren't you asleep yet? It's so late!"

Lu Mingxuan's voice sounded a little tired, but it was still gentle.

"Mingxuan, come to the company right away. I need to talk to you about something very important!"

I tried my best to make my tone sound calm, but I was sure Lu Mingxuan could hear the tremor in my voice.

"Okay, I'll be right there. Don't worry, I'll take care of everything."

Lu Mingxuan seemed to notice my unusual behavior, and his tone became serious.

Lu Mingxuan arrived at the company in less than half an hour.

I told him about the emails and phone calls, and expressed my guesses and concerns without reservation.

After listening to my story, Lu Mingxuan frowned and his expression became serious.

"It seems they're after you and Yichen."

Lu Mingxuan said in a deep voice, "This matter is of utmost importance, and we must consider it carefully."

"But I can't get in touch with Gu Yichen right now, I'm worried he's already..."

My voice began to choke, and all sorts of terrifying images kept flashing through my mind.

"Yan Yan, calm down, Yi Chen will be fine."

Lu Mingxuan gripped my shoulders, his gaze resolute. "I'll call the police right now. Give me the email and phone number, and I'll handle it."

Just then, Lu Mingxuan's phone suddenly rang.

He glanced at the caller ID and his expression changed slightly.

"It's Yi Chen's younger brother, Gu Yi Chen."

Lu Mingxuan answered the phone and put it on speakerphone. Gu Yichen's weak voice came through, "Brother, save...save me, they...cough cough...want to...me and...Dudu..."

A busy signal came through the phone, and my heart clenched instantly.

Gu Yichen and the adorable child have been kidnapped!

Lu Mingxuan acted decisively, immediately called the police, and gave them the email and phone number.

After doing all this, he turned to me, his eyes resolute, "Yan Yan, don't worry, we'll go save them now!"

I nodded emphatically. At that moment, I had only one thought in my mind: to rescue Gu Yichen and the adorable child.

The police were very efficient and quickly located the kidnappers' location—an abandoned factory on the outskirts of the city.

We rushed there with the police, and from a distance we could see several black vans parked at the factory gate, exuding a chilling aura.

The police had devised a meticulous plan and were preparing to storm the place. Just then, Lu Mingxuan's phone rang; it was Gu Yichen calling!

"Yichen, where are you? Are you alright?" Lu Mingxuan asked anxiously.

"I was in the innermost room on the second floor of the factory. They tied me up, but..." Gu Yichen's voice was full of worry.

"What's wrong with Dudu?" My heart jumped into my throat.

"He was taken downstairs, and I heard them say they were going to..." Gu Yichen didn't finish his sentence, but I understood what he meant.

My tears welled up. The little boy was so young, how could he bear such a thing?

"Don't worry, we will definitely rescue Dudu!" Lu Mingxuan said firmly.

Just then, we saw a small figure run out of the factory, shouting as she ran, "Uncle, Auntie, I'm here!"

It's an adorable kid! He actually escaped on his own!

"Dudu!" I rushed over excitedly and hugged him tightly.

"Auntie, Dad's been tied up. They say they're going to..."

The toddler's innocent voice was filled with fear, but he still bravely told us the important information.

"Dudu is so brave! Tell Auntie, how many of them are there? What do they look like?"

Lu Mingxuan squatted down and asked patiently.

The adorable child pointed to her little head and said in a childish voice, "I remember them all. There are three bad guys: one tall and thin, one fat, and one..."

Upon hearing the child's description, both Lu Mingxuan and the police showed expressions of surprise.

They never expected that this four-year-old could remember so many details and express them so clearly.

The information provided by the adorable child was crucial for the police. Based on this information, they adjusted their deployment, successfully rescued the trapped Gu Yichen, and captured all the kidnappers.

I was roughly pushed to the ground by the kidnappers. In the dim light, I saw Gu Yichen, whose hands and feet were also bound.

He struggled to stand up, but was kicked hard by the kidnapper.

"Yichen!" I cried out in anguish, but there was nothing I could do.

"Don't be afraid, Yan Yan, I'm fine."

Gu Yichen endured the pain and tried his best to give me a reassuring look.

Just then, a sharp voice rang out: "Oh, so loving, huh? What a pity, they're about to be separated by death!"

It's Lin Jiaojiao! What's she doing here?

That's when I noticed there was another person in the room—it was Du Yue! How could they have conspired together?

"Lin Jiaojiao, why did you do this?" I questioned angrily.

Lin Jiaojiao sneered, walked over, grabbed my chin forcefully, and said viciously, "Fu Yan, you stole everything from me, so naturally I will make you pay the price!"

I endured the pain, looked at her coldly, and said, "You're pathetic, still living in your own fantasy!"

"You..." Lin Jiaojiao was enraged by me and raised her hand to hit me.

"Stop!" Gu Yichen roared, struggling desperately to stop Lin Jiaojiao.

Just then, the door to the room was suddenly pushed open, and a tall figure walked in. He wore a silver mask, obscuring his face, but the powerful aura emanating from him was impossible to ignore.

"Who are you?" Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue were both startled by this sudden turn of events and asked in a panic.

The mysterious man ignored them and walked straight up to me, gently untying the ropes around me before going to untie the ropes binding Gu Yichen.

"Who...who exactly are you?" I looked at the mysterious man in front of me, my heart filled with doubt and gratitude.

"Who I am is not important. What is important is that I am here to take you away from here." The mysterious man's deep voice carried an indescribable tenderness.

After saying that, he took my hand and Gu Yichen's hand and led us towards the door.

Lin Jiaojiao and Du Yue tried to stop them, but were blocked by several men in black brought by the mysterious man.

"Who are you people? How dare you meddle in other people's business?" Lin Jiaojiao shouted, her voice trembling with fear.

The mysterious man ignored them and led us away from the factory without any obstacles.

It wasn't until I got into the car heading to a safe place that my emotions calmed down a little.

I turned to look at the mysterious man beside me, wanting to ask him a question, but he only gave me a reassuring look, signaling me not to speak.

The sirens pierced the night sky. Gu Yichen and I held each other tightly, still shaken.

Du Yue and Lin Jiaojiao's faces were filled with disbelief. They never expected that their seemingly flawless plan would fall apart at the last minute.

As I watched them being escorted into the police car, I felt a mix of emotions.

"It's alright, it's all over now." Gu Yichen gently stroked my hair, comforting me softly.

I nodded, buried my head in his chest, and savored this hard-won peace.

Life seemed to be back on track, and my relationship with Gu Yichen deepened.

We take care of the adorable baby together, work and study together, and live a peaceful and happy life.

But for some reason, I always felt uneasy, like the calm before a storm, which made me feel suffocated.

Until that day, Gu Yichen received a mysterious email containing only a photo of a kind-looking old man who bore a striking resemblance to Gu Yichen.

The email's subject line read, "Searching for my biological son."

Gu Yichen's face turned pale instantly. He gripped his phone tightly, his knuckles turning white, and he could not hide the shock and panic in his eyes.

"What's wrong?" I noticed his unusual behavior, and my heart clenched.

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself, and handed me the phone: "See for yourself."

I took the phone, my eyes fell on the photo, and a storm raged in my heart.

what on earth is it?

Who is this old man?

Why does she look like Gu Yichen?

A series of questions swirled in my mind. I looked up at Gu Yichen and found his eyes filled with confusion and pain, as if he were caught in a huge storm.
