Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

The study door was ajar, with a faint light and slight noises shining through the crack.

I took a deep breath, tiptoed to the study door, and gently pushed it open.

"What are you looking for?"

I looked at Gu Yichen, who was buried in his desk, his brows furrowed, flipping through a thick notebook in his hand.

"nothing,"

Gu Yichen looked up, closed his notebook, and looked away. "Some old documents, I need to organize them."

I walked over to him and noticed that there were no words on the cover of the notebook. It looked very old, and the pages were yellowed.

"what is this?"

I pointed to the notebook and asked.

"It's nothing important,"

Gu Yichen stuffed the notebook into the drawer, got up and walked to my side. "It's getting late, you should get some rest."

Although his tone was calm, I could sense that he seemed to be deliberately hiding something.

The next day, after I dropped my child off at kindergarten, I received a call from the company's HR department informing me that I didn't need to come to work the next day.

"Why?" I was immediately baffled. "Did I do something wrong?"

"I'm sorry, Ms. Fu, this is a decision made by the company's senior management, and we are not aware of the specific reasons."

The HR department's tone was curt, clearly indicating their unwillingness to disclose further information.

I hung up the phone and immediately called Gu Yichen, but no one answered.

An ominous premonition welled up in my heart, and I hurriedly rushed to the Gu Group.

"President Gu does not receive guests."

The receptionist stopped me.

I need to speak with him urgently!

"I'm sorry, Ms. Fu, without an appointment, I cannot let you in."

The receptionist's tone was firm, leaving no room for compromise.

Just when I was at my wit's end, a strange man appeared in front of me. He was wearing a black suit, sunglasses, and a cryptic smile on his lips.

"Miss Fu, how have you been?"

His voice was low and tinged with a hint of teasing.

"Who are you? What do you want to do?"

I watched him warily, my mind racing with alarm bells.

"I'm just here to tell you that the real show is just beginning."

After the man finished speaking, he turned and left, leaving behind a meaningful silhouette.

The man left, leaving me completely bewildered and filled with endless unease.

I have a vague feeling that there must be a huge conspiracy behind all of this.

I immediately called Lu Mingxuan and anxiously told him everything that had happened.

After listening, Lu Mingxuan's tone became serious: "It seems we underestimated Du Yue's power. Even though she's not in the country, her influence is still strong."

My mind is in complete turmoil, and I don't know what to do.

Just then, the kindergarten teacher called, saying that my child had gotten into a conflict with another child at school and asked me to come over.

When I arrived at the kindergarten, I saw the little boy sitting alone in a corner, head down, his little hands tightly clutching the hem of his clothes, his eyes red.

I walked over to him with a pained expression, hugged him tightly, and asked softly, "What's wrong, baby? Did you quarrel with another child?"

The little girl looked up at me with pleading eyes and said sadly, "They said I don't have a dad and they won't play with me..." My heart clenched. It turned out that someone was gossiping behind my back and deliberately isolating the little girl.

I suppressed my anger and comforted the little one: "Baby, don't listen to their nonsense. You are great, and your mom and dad love you."

That night, after I had put the baby to sleep, Gu Yichen still hadn't come home.

Worried, I dialed his number, but no one answered.

I paced anxiously back and forth in the living room, the eerie smile of the man in black flashing through my mind.

At this moment, Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen arrived together, their expressions both grave.

“We’ve found some clues,” Gu Yichen said in a heavy tone. “That mysterious man is in contact with Du Yue’s former subordinates. It seems she’s planning to make a comeback.”

My heart sank. Just as I expected, was Du Yue trying to wipe us out completely?

Lu Mingxuan comforted me, saying, "Don't worry, we will definitely protect you and the baby."

I nodded, but my heart was still filled with unease; an even greater storm was brewing...

"Don't worry, we won't let her succeed."

Gu Yichen finally returned, his face showing weariness, but his eyes remained resolute.

He held me tightly in his arms, as if he wanted to meld me into his body.

At that moment, all my unease and fear vanished. As long as he was by my side, I was not afraid of anything.

"Yichen, are you alright?" I asked worriedly, stroking his cheek. A layer of stubble had appeared on his chin, showing how tired he had been lately.

"I'm fine, I made you worry."

He lowered his head and kissed my forehead. "I've already had security at home strengthened. No one will be allowed to hurt you and the baby again."

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen also assured me that they had found some clues about the mysterious person and believed that they would soon be able to find out his true identity and purpose.

Over the next few days, we maintained a normal routine on the surface, but secretly we were actively dealing with this sudden crisis.

Gu Yichen leaves early and returns late every day to handle company affairs, while also secretly investigating the mysterious person's background.

Lu Mingxuan and Gu Yichen used their connections and resources to gather intelligence from all over the place, trying to find out the mysterious person's weaknesses.

Although I can't be of much help, I'll do my best to take care of the baby and the family so they won't worry about me.

I know that only by uniting as one can we overcome all difficulties.

"Ayan, I've found a breakthrough!"

That evening, Lu Mingxuan suddenly called, excitedly saying, "I found out that the mysterious person has a habit: he goes to a private club in the suburbs every Friday night."

"A private club?" My heart skipped a beat. "You mean, we can take this opportunity to follow him and find out his identity?"

“That’s right!” Lu Mingxuan’s voice was full of confidence. “I’ve already made arrangements. We’ll go meet him this Friday night!”

On Friday night, with a mix of trepidation and excitement, I, along with Gu Yichen and Lu Mingxuan, lurked near that private club.

Under the dim streetlights, a black sedan slowly drove up and stopped in front of the clubhouse.

The car door opened, and a tall man stepped out. He was wearing a hat and a mask, so I couldn't see his face, but his upright figure and the way he walked gave me a strange sense of familiarity.

"Is it him?" I asked in a low voice, my heart pounding.

"It should be right." Gu Yichen stared sharply at the man. "Let's follow him."

The three of us kept a safe distance and followed the man into the club.

The club's interior was luxuriously decorated, filled with elegantly dressed women, clinking glasses, and a scene of decadent extravagance.

The man skillfully navigated the crowd and entered a private room.

"What do we do?" Lu Mingxuan asked. "Should we just charge in?"

"No rush," Gu Yichen said calmly, "Let's see how things go first."

We found a secluded corner and kept a close eye on what was happening in that private room.

After a while, the door to the private room opened, and a sexy woman came out. She was wearing heavy makeup and had a dazed look in her eyes, as if she had drunk quite a bit.

After the woman left, Gu Yichen gestured for us to follow him.

The three of us quietly arrived at the door of the private room. Gu Yichen gently pushed the door open, and we filed in.

The private room was dimly lit and filled with smoke. The man was sitting on the sofa, holding a glass of red wine, seemingly waiting for someone.

"You've finally arrived," the man said without looking up, his voice low and hoarse.

Gu Yichen didn't say anything. He walked straight to the man and sat down, staring at him sharply.

I noticed that the man's hand trembled slightly, as if he was a little nervous.

"Do you know who I am?"

The man finally raised his head, took off his hat and mask, revealing a familiar face.

"Of course I know,"

Gu Yichen sneered, "We're 'old friends'."

"It's you?!"

I stared at the man in front of me in disbelief; he was actually…

Just then, the man suddenly pulled a dagger from his pocket and stabbed at Gu Yichen!

I gasped in surprise. Before I could react, I saw Gu Yichen grab the man's wrist, twist it forcefully, and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud.

The man tried to resist, but Gu Yichen kicked him to the ground.

"Tell me, who ordered you to do this?"

Gu Yichen held the man tightly, his tone icy.

The man struggled a few times, then suddenly burst into laughter: "Want to know? Too bad, you'll never have the chance!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than the man suddenly opened his mouth and bit the poison hidden in his teeth!
