Love is a mistake that cannot be escaped

He approached step by step, and I suddenly felt a sense of suffocation, my mind going blank.

The dean held my hand tightly. "Don't be afraid, I'll protect you!"

"Protect? You think you can?"

The man sneered and abruptly shoved the dean aside. "Fu Yan, come with me!"

He seemed to know me, but I had no recollection of him at all.

My instinct was to run away, but the man grabbed me. He was incredibly strong, and I couldn't break free at all.

"Who are you? What do you want?"

I asked in horror.

The man didn't answer, but just gave me a cold look before forcibly dragging me out of the orphanage.

All the way, I kept looking for a chance to escape, but the man kept a watchful eye on me, leaving me helpless.

Finally, he took me to an abandoned factory.

"Why did you bring me here?"

I looked around, my heart filled with fear.

The man finally spoke, "Fu Yan, don't you want to know who killed your parents back then?"

"You know that?"

I jerked my head up and stared intently at him. "Tell me, who is it?"

A chilling smile curled at the corner of the man's lips. "It was Du Yue! She's the one who killed your parents!"

"impossible!"

I shook my head incredulously. "Aunt Du has always been so good to me. How could she possibly harm my parents?"

"good?"

The man seemed to have heard a hilarious joke. "She was just using you! Back then, to get shares in the Gu Group, she colluded with outsiders, killed your parents, and sent you to an orphanage!"

"No...this is impossible..."

I slumped to the ground, powerless, the man's words echoing in my mind, my heart aching as if it were being torn apart.

Just then, Gu Yichen suddenly appeared and pulled me up. "Yan Yan, don't listen to his nonsense, that's not how it is!"

"Yichen? What are you doing here?"

I looked at him in surprise.

"I've been secretly investigating Du Yue's background all along."

Gu Yichen's face darkened. "I have evidence of her crimes; she can't escape!"

"What evidence?" I asked eagerly.

"She has links to an international criminal organization,"

Gu Yichen gripped my hand tightly. "All these years, she's been using the Gu Group's resources to launder money for that organization!"

Gu Yichen's words shocked me. I never imagined that Du Yue, who seemed so kind and gentle, would be such a vicious woman!

Anger and hatred burned within me. I clenched my fists, my eyes resolute. "Yichen, we must expose her true colors and avenge my parents!"

"Don't worry, Yan Yan, I will definitely help you."

Gu Yichen gently stroked my hair, his eyes filled with pity and determination.

We began working together to secretly gather evidence of Du Yue's crimes.

Gu Yichen used his connections and resources to quickly find Du Yue's transaction records with that international criminal organization.

I wasn't idle either; I started paying attention to Du Yue's every move, hoping to find a breakthrough.

The opportunity finally came.

That day, Du Yue said she had to discuss business with an important partner and asked me not to disturb her.

I keenly sensed that this might be a trap.

I secretly followed Du Yue to a private club on the outskirts of the city.

I hid in the shadows and witnessed the entire process of Du Yue making a deal with a mysterious man.

The items they were trading were actually a batch of weapons!

I was startled and quickly took out my phone to capture the scene.

"Du Yue, you'd better not try anything funny!"

The mysterious man said coldly, "If anything goes wrong with this shipment, you won't be able to afford the consequences!"

"Don't worry, I've made all the arrangements, and there won't be any problems."

Du Yue's face was plastered with a fawning smile. "Once I receive the final payment for this batch of goods, our cooperation will be over."

"I hope so." The mysterious man snorted coldly and turned to leave.

I held my breath, my heart pounding.

I have finally found evidence of Du Yue's crimes, and it is irrefutable evidence that will ruin her reputation!

I gripped my phone tightly, my knuckles turning white from the force.

This is crucial to bringing down Du Yue and making her pay the price! I must inform Yi Chen of this as soon as possible!

I crouched low and carefully slipped away from my hiding place, afraid of disturbing anyone.

When I got home, I noticed that the atmosphere was a bit strange. Mengmeng wasn't playing in the living room, and Yichen, Mingxuan, and Yichen were all in the study, looking serious.

"what happened?"

I asked in a low voice.

Yichen looked up at me, then hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but stopped himself.

Mingxuan spoke first: "Mengmeng said that she heard Aunt Du and an uncle talking about hiding something so that no one could find it."

My heart skipped a beat; Mengmeng's words undoubtedly confirmed my previous guess!

Did they say anything?

I asked eagerly.

Mengmeng tilted her head and thought for a moment, then said in her childish voice, "Uncle said it's a very important box, and it contains many secrets."

"A secret?" I became even more certain that this box must contain more evidence of Du Yue's crimes!

I took a deep breath and told them what I had seen and heard at the club.

"That wicked woman!"

The usually gentle and refined Yi Chen turned pale with anger and slammed his fist on the table.

Mingxuan calmly analyzed, "It seems that Du Yue wants to move this batch of weapons to another place. We must find that box before she does!"

“I’ve already sent people to keep an eye on Du Yue. We’ll know immediately if she makes any move.”

Yi Chen said in a deep voice, "The most important thing now is to find where that box is hidden."

"Let's split up!"

I suggested, "Yichen and I will investigate Du Yue's whereabouts. Mingxuan, you take Yichen to the place where Mengmeng overheard the conversation and look for clues to see if you can find that box!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, and a race against time began...

The night was deep, the heavy ink seemingly threatening to swallow everything.

Outside an abandoned factory in the suburbs, our group sneaked in silently under the cover of night.

The air was thick with a damp, putrid smell that was nauseating.

"Be careful, Du Yue is cunning, don't fall into her trap."

I lowered my voice to remind Yichen beside me, and he nodded slightly, his deep eyes flashing with a determined light in the darkness.

As planned, we split into two groups. Yichen and I were responsible for controlling the monitoring room, while Mingxuan and Yichen went to find the "box full of secrets" that Mengmeng mentioned.

In the silent factory, the only sounds were our soft breathing and heartbeats.

In the monitoring room, Du Yue was making a phone call with her back to us. Her shrill voice sounded like the cry of a night owl, sending chills down our spines.

"I've got everything ready. It'll be shipped out first thing tomorrow morning! This deal has to succeed; failure is not an option!"

Upon hearing the word "deal," Yichen and I exchanged a glance. It seemed that our decision to come tonight was the right one!

We acted decisively and subdued the unsuspecting Du Yue.

When confronted with our questions, she initially denied everything, but faced with irrefutable evidence, she ultimately had to lower her proud head.

"Speak! Who did you trade with? Where is the item you traded for?"

Yi Chen asked sharply, his tone icy and chilling, completely unlike the gentle man he usually was.

Du Yue shrank back, her eyes flickering, but she still refused to speak.

Just then, news came from Mingxuan and Yichen: "Found it! The box is in the underground warehouse!"

We rushed to the underground warehouse, opened the heavy metal box, and found several guns and a large amount of ammunition inside!

"Is this what you call a 'secret'? Du Yue, what else do you have to say for yourself?!"

I was furious. Pointing at those cold weapons, I felt a chill run from the soles of my feet straight to my heart.

However, before we could even breathe a sigh of relief, an unexpected incident occurred...

With a loud bang, the warehouse door was violently kicked open from the outside, blinding light shone in, and several men in black rushed in, surrounding us.

The man in the lead was tall and wore sunglasses, obscuring his face, but I could sense a chilling intent in his icy voice: "Leave your things, you can leave."

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

Mingxuan stepped forward and shielded Yichen and me behind him.

"If you don't want to die, don't meddle in other people's business!"

The man sneered, then suddenly his gaze shifted to the open space behind me, and his expression changed drastically. "Where is she? Where's the little girl?!"

My heart sank, and I realized that Mengmeng, who should have been following behind us, was nowhere to be seen!

"Mengmeng!"

I gasped, a sense of foreboding washing over me.

A sinister smile curled at the corner of the man's lips: "Want to find her? Then trade her what you have!"

Before he could finish speaking, the man ripped off his sunglasses. I was stunned. How could it be him?!
