Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

Gu Yichen's embrace was warm and strong, but before I could fully appreciate it, I was interrupted by my assistant's hurried voice.

He released me, his eyes instantly turning sharp. "What is it?"

The assistant's face turned pale. "The company... has been hostilely acquired!"

The sudden turn of events was like a bucket of cold water, instantly extinguishing the ambiguous atmosphere in the study.

My heart sank. Could this be a new conspiracy?

Gu Yichen had just resolved the internal family disputes and hadn't even had a chance to catch his breath when an even greater crisis struck.

"Who is the other party?"

Gu Yichen's voice was terrifyingly low; I could feel his suppressed anger.

"It's not clear yet,"

The assistant wrung his hands nervously. "They're operating discreetly; we haven't found out anything about their background yet."

Gu Yichen didn't speak, but walked straight to the French window. His tall figure looked particularly cold and aloof in the moonlight.

I know he's thinking, analyzing, and looking for a way to break the deadlock.

"I'm going to find Mingxuan."

I said softly.

Gu Yichen turned around, his deep gaze falling on my face. "Okay, I'll go with you."

Lu Mingxuan was as efficient as ever, and he arrived at the Gu family villa in less than an hour.

"how is the situation?"

Lu Mingxuan went straight to the point as soon as he entered the room.

“It’s terrible,”

Gu Yichen handed him a document, saying, "The other party came with great force, clearly prepared."

Lu Mingxuan carefully reviewed the documents, his brows furrowing deeper and deeper. "I investigated this company before. It's an overseas shell company with no actual business operations."

"A shell company?"

I asked, puzzled.

Lu Mingxuan nodded. "In other words, this is just a cover, and there is a larger force manipulating all of this behind the scenes."

The atmosphere in the study immediately became heavy, and we all knew what that meant.

Gu Yichen's enemies are far more powerful and terrifying than we imagined.

"No matter who it is, I will not let him get away with this!"

Gu Yichen's gaze was firm and cold, radiating a chilling aura.

"None of us will."

I walked to Gu Yichen's side, held his hand tightly, and gave him silent support.

Lu Mingxuan patted him on the shoulder, and the three of them were like driftwood relying on each other in a stormy sea.

Gu Yichen gripped my hand in return, his gaze gradually hardening.

He is no longer the indecisive boy he once was. Having experienced the struggles within his family, he has matured rapidly, and now his eyes are filled with confidence and strength.

In the following days, Gu Yichen began to drastically reorganize the company.

His decisive and efficient methods silenced those who had once questioned his abilities.

He stripped his uncles of their power and handed over important positions in the company to a group of young and promising professional managers.

He also strengthened security measures for family members, arranging more bodyguards to ensure their safety.

I focused my energy on the adorable kids.

Perhaps sensing the tense atmosphere around her, she became quiet and reserved again.

I spent every day playing with her, reading to her, telling her stories, and teaching her to draw. Gradually, the long-lost smile returned to her face, and her clear laughter echoed through the villa once again.

"Mom, when will dad come back?"

The adorable child sat on my lap, blinking her big eyes and asking a question.

"Dad will be back soon. He misses you."

I patted her head, but my heart ached a little. Gu Yichen had been too busy lately, working until late every night, and rarely had time to spend with her.

"Did Daddy go to fight bad guys?" the little boy asked, tilting his head.

I was taken aback; I hadn't expected her to ask that.

I smiled and said, "Dad went to work; work is very important."

"Then Dad should also be careful."

The adorable child reached out a small hand and gently stroked my face, saying, "Mommy, you must also be careful."

At that moment, my heart was enveloped by a tender emotion.

Gu Yichen is right. Cute kids are our angels. Their existence gives us endless motivation and hope.

We will protect her and give her a happy childhood.

Gu Yichen returned home very late that night.

He looked exhausted, but his eyes shone with hope.

He walked over to the adorable child, gently kissed her forehead, and looked at her with such tenderness that it seemed to melt your heart.

"Yan Yan, thank you for your hard work." He walked to my side and hugged me and the little one.

I leaned against his chest, listening to his strong heartbeat, and felt a sense of security.

I know that no matter how much wind and rain lies ahead, we will face it together and never give up.

Lu Mingxuan has been leaving early and returning late lately, with a solemn expression.

I know he's investigating clues about that mysterious force.

"Did you find anything?"

I fed the little one while asking him questions.

"We've found some clues, but the outlook isn't optimistic."

He said in a somber tone, “This force is very likely related to a transnational criminal organization. They operate covertly, are ruthless, and are very difficult to deal with.”

"An international criminal organization?" I was startled, a chill running down my spine. "How could I be involved with such an organization?"

Lu Mingxuan shook his head. "The specific reason is still unclear, but what is certain is that we've gotten ourselves into big trouble."

Gu Yichen put down the documents in his hand, his eyes sharp. "We'll deal with whatever comes our way, what's there to be afraid of!"

He walked to the window, looked into the distance, and said firmly, "Rather than sitting and waiting for death, we should take the initiative."

"Take the initiative?" I was a little worried. "But our opponent is powerful, we..."

“I know what you’re worried about,”

Gu Yichen turned around and took my hand. "But we can't always be on the defensive. That will only keep us in a passive position forever."

A glint of shrewdness flashed in his eyes. "I'll make them come to me willingly."

Over the next few days, Gu Yichen began to secretly make arrangements. He mobilized all resources and meticulously planned a scheme, just waiting for the enemy to fall into it.

Although I don't know what his plan is, I trust him, just as I believe that the sun at dawn will surely illuminate the night.

However, a sense of unease lingered in my heart, like the calm before a storm, suffocating me.

The feeling of unease grew stronger, and I couldn't sleep well all night, feeling like something was about to happen.

Gu Yichen seemed to sense my anxiety. He pulled me into his arms and gently comforted me, "Don't worry, everything is under my control."

His tone was firm, his eyes resolute. I tried to suppress my unease and sought solace in his arms.

But fate always seems to love playing tricks. Just when we thought the dawn was about to break, an accident happened.

That morning, I got up as usual, but found that Gu Yichen was not by my side.

My heart skipped a beat, and a sense of foreboding washed over me. I immediately called him, but no one answered.

"Fu Yan, what's wrong? You look so pale."

Lu Mingxuan noticed my unusual behavior and asked with concern.

"Gu Yichen...he's gone..."

My voice trembled slightly, and an intense unease almost consumed me.

Lu Mingxuan's expression changed, and he immediately realized the seriousness of the situation. He quickly arranged for people to search for Gu Yichen's whereabouts.

However, we searched everywhere he might have gone but found nothing. His phone was also switched off, as if he had vanished into thin air.

My heart sank lower and lower. Could it be... that something really happened to him?

Just then, my phone rang, and an unfamiliar number flashed on the screen.

I pressed the answer button with trembling hands, and a cold yet familiar voice came from the other end of the line.

"If you want to save Gu Yichen, come to the dock warehouse alone. Remember, don't call the police, otherwise..."

"Beep-beep-"

The call was disconnected, and all that remained in my mind was that final, chilling warning.

It was "them," that mysterious force! Gu Yichen had fallen into their hands!

I gripped my phone tightly, my mind in turmoil. What should I do?

Should I do as they ask, or should I call the police? But if I call the police, what will happen to Gu Yichen...?

No, I can't just sit here and wait to die!

I must save him!

I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down, and a thought flashed through my mind...
