Chapter 456: She Will Only Feel Heartbroken for Me, Not Acknowledge You

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“Are you really shameless enough to say that Gantang has never been hurt when she was with you? You’ve hurt Lin Gantang’s feelings before, so the injuries must be more serious than this, right?” asked Wen Yanqing.

“You’re the one who’s more annoying than me.” Gu Zhichuan gritted his teeth.

Wen Yanqing scoffed and disagreed.

“But what right do you have to criticize me now? At the very least, I didn’t put her life in danger.” Gu Zhichuan exposed what he was trying to cover up. “You must be very scared. Otherwise, why would you be sitting outside alone? You should indeed blame yourself. Lin Gantang’s injury this time was all because of you.”

Gu Zhichuan seized the opportunity to attack him with all his might.

He wanted to destroy his confidence and make him feel defeated.

Gu Zhichuan knew that Wen Yanqing did it unintentionally. He knew that Wen Yanqing could not bear to see Lin Gantang hurt even the hair on her head. He also knew that Wen Yanqing must be blaming himself at this moment.

However, Gu Zhichuan wanted to get Lin Gantang back and defeat Wen Yanqing, so he tried his best to provoke his opponent.

Even if his methods were not honorable.

Just like how Wen Yanqing showed his gentleness to Lin Gantang, and had always kept the other aspects of himself in check. It was the same for Gu Zhichuan now.

He was merely learning from him. He could be gentle to Lin Gantang, but there was no need for him to be polite to Wen Yanqing.

“Since you put it this way, it looks like I have to throw away these useless emotions.” Wen Yanqing lifted his eyes. “How can I let you succeed, you despicable person?”

Gu Zhichuan chuckled. “You can’t throw them away. As long as you take a look at Lin Gantang’s injury, that sense of powerlessness and shame will swallow you whole. Wen Yanqing, you lost this round. If it were me, she wouldn’t be in the hospital.”

“Is that so?” Wen Yanqing’s cold gaze scrutinized him. “You really are unscrupulous. Do you dare to say such words in front of Lin Gantang?”

Gu Zhichuan fiddled with the flowers in his hand. “At least now that I’m going in to visit her, you won’t dare to stop me and guard against me like last time. It’s because you feel guilty and ashamed. You don’t have the face to stop others from showing concern for Lin Gantang.”

Wen Yanqing glanced at the bouquet in his hand. “Then you must not know that she doesn’t like potato flowers. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be bringing them in.”

Wen Yanqing looked straight at him. “Gu Zhichuan, I admit that I didn’t do a good job this time, but everything you’ve done is futile. You don’t even know what she likes. How can you get her to turn back?”

“She said previously that she likes pink potato flowers,” Gu Zhichuan said as he held the flowers tightly.

“She doesn’t like it. It’s just that the pink potato flowers can make you take a second look at it. Ruan Ning likes it.” Wen Yanqing mocked, “She’s such a proud person. How could she be willing to learn from you and like what she likes?”

Wen Yanqing’s words stabbed Gu Zhichuan hard.

“How do you know Ruan Ning?” Gu Zhichuan gritted his teeth and his face darkened.

“I found out later. Tangtang and I talked about everything after we got together.” Wen Yanqing faced him directly. “She told me because she had let go. That’s why she could talk to me like it was nothing. She doesn’t care about you anymore. It’s useless no matter what you do. For example, your sarcasm and attack on me today will only make her heart ache for me and not make her agree with you.”

Gu Zhichuan looked at him coldly.

“Do you want to go in? You’re already here.” Wen Yanqing smiled at him and invited him in return. He pushed the door open and walked into the ward first..

Chapter 457: You’ve Been A Little Unlucky Lately

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Wen Yanqing did not have the time to blame himself when someone wanted to take advantage of the situation.

He returned to the ward and picked up an apple, peeling it slowly.

Lin Zhaonan patted his shoulder and left.

When he wasn’t around just now, he didn’t know what Mr. Lin and Lin Gantang were talking about. Now, he was muttering, “I feel that you’ve been a little unlucky recently. No, I have to get someone to read your fortune.”

And Lin Gantang’s helpless expression.

He even wanted to hire fortune-tellers.

After a while, Gu Zhichuan came in. Wen Yanqing glanced at him and sneered to himself when he did not see Gu Zhichuan bring the flowers in.

“Zhichuan is here,” Mr. Lin said calmly.

“Uncle, I’m here to see Gantang,” Gu Zhichuan said.

Mr. Lin glanced at Wen Yanqing and said, “It’s just a small injury. There’s nothing to look at. You’ve troubled yourself.”

Lin Gantang couldn’t help but look at Mr. Lin. Heh, that wasn’t what you said just now. You were so serious as if I was seriously ill. You didn’t even let me get out of bed and walk around.

“It’s good that she’s fine. I’m just worried about Gantang.” Gu Zhichuan stood in front of Lin Gantang. Seeing her pale lips, he could not help but worry. “Does it hurt?”

“It doesn’t hurt. I feel like I can be discharged now.” Lin Gantang’s expression was calm.

Mr. Lin looked at her. Tsk, you didn’t say that just now. You were hurting everywhere and wanted others to treat you like a god.

Gu Zhichuan sat there for a while. He did not know what else to say other than to show concern for her injuries. It was only now that he realized that his understanding of Lin Gantang was pitifully little. He could not even find a single thing to start a conversation with.

He was afraid that he would say something wrong and that Lin Gantang would be unhappy if he did so.

Moreover, Mr. Lin was here, so there were many things that he could not say.

Hence, he left after sitting for a while. Wen Yanqing passed the apple to Lin Gantang. “I’m going back to change my clothes. I’ll come back later.”

Lin Gantang was surprised. She thought that she had to persuade him to leave.

“Sure, you can rest at home while you’re at it. Besides, you’re not done at the office, right? There are nurses and Auntie Zhang here. You don’t have to worry.”

“I’ll go with you. I have something to tell you.” Mr. Lin got up with Wen Yanqing. He turned around and instructed Lin Gantang. “Stay here. I’ll come over later.”

Lin Gantang didn’t mind. “Dad, you should go back and rest too. I’m already an adult. You don’t have to guard me.”

After they left, Lin Gantang took out her phone and started to watch dramas as she bit into the apple.

It’s not like she was sick. What’s there to be pretentious about?

She searched for what she wanted to see but still couldn’t find it. Ye Qiuqiu’s video request came in.

Lin Gantang subconsciously looked at the time. She was video-calling her now? Usually, this was her busiest time at work.

As soon as the call connected, the screen paused. Lin Gantang thought that her phone was stuck, but the other party suddenly said, “F*ck.

“How did you become like this? You’re hospitalized?” Ye Qiuqiu guessed as she observed what she saw through the small lens.

“Hmm, I’m a little injured. Why are you looking for me now? Is there something wrong?” Lin Gantang asked.

“It’s nothing. I wanted to tell you that I’ve already resigned.” Ye Qiuqiu stared at her. “It’s nothing. What’s wrong with you? How did you get injured?”

Lin Gantang said it simply. Ye Qiuqiu said, “Why are you living so dangerously every day? To think I was envious that you were rich. Forget it now. It’s safer to be poor.”

Lin Gantang chuckled. “Natural and man-made disasters won’t be avoided just because you’re poor. When you’re free, read more social news. Most of the accidents are caused by ordinary people.”

“F*ck, my heart hurts.” Ye Qiuqiu clutched her chest. “It’s bad enough that I don’t have any money, yet you’re telling the truth..”

Chapter 458: You’re Probably Sick; Very Sick at That

“How is it? Is the handover done?” Lin Gantang asked.

“I just finished moving my things and left last night. You don’t know the expression of the person-in-charge when I handed in my resignation letter. He pretended to say ‘Ah, I can’t bear to part with a good employee like you.’ It almost disgusted me. If I didn’t know that he wanted to force me to resign, I would have believed him.”

Ye Qiuqiu left that place and felt refreshed.

“It’s good that you’re back. It’s not bad to give birth to the baby safely.” Lin Gantang was more worried about Ye Qiuqiu and the baby.

“Anyway, I’m free now. Why don’t I go to the hospital to see you?” Ye Qiuqiu saw that she was in the hospital and wanted to come over.

“Don’t, it’s just a superficial wound.” Lin Gantang quickly stopped her. “Besides, the baby in your stomach is already big. Don’t run around. What if it’s born outside?”

Ye Qiuqiu gave up regretfully.

She glanced at the screen as if she had seen something incredible. She immediately moved closer to the screen to see it more clearly. “Darn, you got injured on your face? Don’t leave a scar on such a beautiful face.”

“It’s a very, very shallow wound.” Lin Gantang touched it. “The doctor said that it won’t leave a scar if it heals well.” The pain on her face was gone.

“Hey, don’t touch it!” Ye Qiuqiu was anxious. She wanted to grab her hand. “I’m worried for you. You’re making me frustrated; you still want to touch it? What if it gets infected? Do you still want your face?”

Ye Qiuqiu looked at her arm that had been smeared with medicine. She gasped as if it was hurting her. “Wen Yanqing must be heartbroken by your injuries.”

“Yeah, he’s blaming himself for not protecting me,” Lin Gantang said helplessly.

“Protect? How to protect you?” Ye Qiuqiu was very interested. She rubbed her hands together and imagined, “Fight with the kidnappers when you were kidnapped? Fly over and give the kidnappers a cool blow at the most dangerous moment? Or kick open the warehouse door and shout ‘Stop’!”

“Wake up,” Lin Gantang said. “We’re not filming a TV drama.”

“Why do I feel like he has three heads and six arms?” Ye Qiuqiu said regretfully. “He has clairvoyance and omniscience.”

“Maybe you’re sick?” Lin Gantang was silent. Very sick, at that.

“He’s a human. The ones you’re talking about are immortals.” Lin Gantang thought about it and found it funny. “He probably thinks he’s a god too, so he blames himself for not being perfect.”

“Tsk, Wen Yanqing’s thoughts are much more meticulous than yours. He loves you too much.” Ye Qiuqiu rested her chin on her hand. “Such a person is also sensitive. Tangtang you have to take care of your boyfriend.”

“Of course. My heart aches for my man.”

“Man?” Ye Qiuqiu laughed evilly and said ambiguously, “Your man…”

Lin Gantang looked at her.

“Hey, you’ve changed. You’d blush if I said this back then.”

“Shut up, I’m not playing; I’m thinking about how to make my boyfriend happy,” Lin Gantang said.

“I have an idea. That,” Ye Qiuqiu suggested.

“Which one?”

“That. That…” Ye Qiuqiu winked.

Lin Gantang thought, “I’m dirty. I actually understand.”

“That’s enough. Does your husband know you’re like this? Believe it or not, I’ll tell him to do this and that to you.”

“Hey, are you holding a grudge against me because you watched the video? It’s alright. How about a silent version?” Ye Qiuqiu said cheekily. “Do you want the Baby Car Picture Book?”

Lin Gantang was speechless. Picture book? I’d be lying if I believed you..

Chapter 459: What New Method Is This?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Mr. Lin came over in the evening.

Just as a nurse finished changing Lin Gantang’s drip, she saw Mr. Lin walk in with his hands behind his back, deep in thought.

“Dad, what are you thinking about?” Lin Gantang asked.

She shouldn’t be the one who caused this, right? She was quietly lying in bed. He looked so serious that Lin Gantang was a little scared.

Who knew that Mr. Lin’s thoughts were completely different from what Lin Gantang was worrying about. “I went to get your fortune read,” he muttered.

You really went?

Lin Gantang imitated her father’s thoughtful demeanor and repeated the favorite line of the male protagonist in the novel that Bei Bei had sent. “My fate is up to me, not the heavens. Dad…”

“Get lost. I spent money on it. Even if you don’t believe it, you have to listen to me.” Mr. Lin slapped the bed.

“Oh.” Lin Gantang sat down obediently.

“Your birth characters… I’m a little confused by all the strange things said, but in the end, it means that you’ll be safe and happy in this life.”

Lin Gantang thought, “You spent money to listen to this?”

“Sigh, but the grandmaster said that Yanqing’s life path is a little dangerous.” Mr. Lin was worried.

“Didn’t… Didn’t you go and get my fortune read?” Why also get Yanqing’s read? How much money had he been cheated of?

“Since I was already going, I just got it done together.” Mr. Lin said, “That grandmaster is quite capable. Last time, I wanted to match your birth characters and set a good date. He was the one I approached.”

Lin Gantang sat there, ready to listen to his nonsense.

“This time, I took Yanqing’s birth characters to show him…”

“Then why didn’t he say anything when you showed him the birth characters previously?” Lin Gantang interrupted.

“Probably not enough money?” Mr. Lin felt that this was a small matter. “One sum for one thing. Birth characters and fortune-telling are two different things.”

Lin Gantang thought, “D*mn; let him earn twice.”

“Grandmaster said that Yanqing’s isn’t too good.” Mr. Lin sighed.

“Did he say he could give you a solution if you paid more?” Lin Gantang interrupted.

“Not really.”

Lin Gantang was suddenly touched. He didn’t take the opportunity to ask for another sum?

Mr. Lin didn’t know what Lin Gantang was muttering to herself. He continued, “He said a lot of obscure things. I was a little angry at the end.”

What did he mean by ‘talented and short-lived, die young’? He was so angry that he almost flipped the table. Mr. Lin said, “But fortunately, he said that although it’s dangerous, the solution is quite simple.”

“What solution?” Lin Gantang asked curiously.

“After the two of you get married, your fortunes will improve due to fate compatibility. You don’t have to be afraid of other bad things happening.”

Lin Gantang thought, “What new method is this?”

Lin Gantang lay back on the bed. “Dad, check if your phone is out of battery. My brother just sent me a message asking if you’re here. He can’t find you.”

Mr. Lin took out his phone and looked at it. It was turned off. “What kind of broken phone is this? The battery is so weak.”

“You’ve been using it for a long time, right? Do you have any requests?” Lin Gantang picked up her phone and was about to go online.

“It has to be smoother. In this game, I always get stuck and get killed,” Mr. Lin complained.

“Your retirement life is quite trendy,” Lin Gantang muttered.

Lin Gantang looked at the phone in her hand. Yanqing had given it back to her, saying that a kind soul had found and returned it.

She was worried about Sweet Wine now. After she was knocked out, Sweet Wine ran away and had not been found yet.

She posted a cat search notice on her private account and video account. She also arranged for the people in the shop to help look for it, but there was no result so far.

There was a phone number on Sweet Wine’s collar. She wondered if it would meet a kind person..

Chapter 460: He Deliberately Let Him Hear This

The next day, the police came to Lin Gantang to take down her statement. This matter was of a bad nature, and no one planned to let Zhou Manbai off.

There was a policewoman among the police officers who came. She was mainly the one asking questions. Her tone was quite gentle and relaxed.

There was also Lawyer Zhuang beside Lin Gantang, who was hired by Wen Yanqing.

After the police left, Lin Gantang asked Lawyer Zhuang what would happen if Zhou Manbai was convicted.

“Kidnapping is the first crime, and intentional assault is the second. She was also involved in another murder case. If the circumstances are serious, she’ll be sentenced to more than ten years in prison, life imprisonment, or the death penalty. Miss Lin,” said Lawyer Zhuang as he rubbed his eyes. “Depending on what you want, I’ll help you fight for it.”

Lawyer Zhuang didn’t clarify what he meant, but she understood – fight for a higher sentence.

Lin Gantang had injured Zhou Manbai in self-defense. Zhou Manbai was now under surveillance and treatment in the hospital’s designated residence. Wen Yanqing had obtained the right to visit and walked in.

Zhou Manbai was injured in the head, but she was already awake. She was bandaging her wound, and her condition was more serious than Lin Gantang. “Are you here to laugh at me?” Zhou Manbai’s expressionless face turned vicious when she saw him.

“To laugh? There’s no need,” Wen Yanqing said calmly.

“Then why are you here? You must be very pleased with yourself now, right?” Zhou Manbai’s tone was cold and unpleasant to the ears. “You see that I have no way out, but so what? I won’t confess!”

“So what if you don’t admit your guilt? The evidence has been preserved.” Wen Yanqing looked at her vicious face and asked, “So that night when you asked my dad to plead for mercy, you were also pretending?”

“I, Zhou Manbai, will never admit defeat! Wen Yanqing, I only regret not driving the car down the cliff!” Zhou Manbai’s expression was ferocious. “It’s not a loss for me to drag Lin Gantang along to die!”

“You still think that you’re not in the wrong. Then, when you said that you wanted me to get your brother out, you weren’t sincere either?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“Of course I’m sincere.” Zhou Manbai looked at Wen Yanqing with a sinister smile. “Money will run out eventually. My brother will be able to earn money. If I bring him out, I won’t have to worry about food and clothing even if I’m in a foreign country. But you ruined my plan, Wen Yanqing!”

“In your heart, human lives are worthless. Your relatives also mean nothing to you. Zhou Manbai, how many people have you harmed with your selfishness?”

“I regret that I wasn’t more ruthless. I shouldn’t have been so indecisive back then. If I had known that this would be the end result, I would have killed you the year you returned to the Wen family!” Zhou Manbai said viciously.

“Just because of property? That makes you hate me so much?” Wen Yanqing asked.

“The person I hate is Wen Rendong’s son. What do you know about the grudge between Wen Rendong and me?” Zhou Manbai’s eyes were filled with hatred.

“I don’t know, but I’m bearing the consequences for him?”

Zhou Manbai laughed out loud. Her expression was fierce when she stopped. “Go ask your father then!”

Hatred would increase. From the fear of Fang Xin and her son to her hatred of Wen Rendong’s favoritism for Wen Yanqing, it piled up in her heart one by one, and the negative emotions accumulated and rotted.

However, at the end of the day, Zhou Manbai’s heart had already turned dark.

“The reason I’m here is because your brother asked his lawyer to look for me. He’s willing to give up everything, but he hopes that I can withdraw the lawsuit against you,” Wen Yanqing explained.

Zhou Manbai’s vicious expression froze.

“He wants to see you, so I got someone to bail him out. He’s been waiting at the door of the ward. I’m not sure if he heard what you said just now,” said Wen Yanqing.

“Wen Yanqing!” He deliberately let her brother hear this!

Chapter 451: Tangtang Was Stalling Her

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

The sun was high in the sky.

Lin Gantang sat in the car, her gaze following Zhou Manbai’s car keys.

She was in a very dangerous situation right now. If Zhou Manbai changed her mind and stepped on the accelerator, she would definitely fall off the cliff.

She had to leave the car or get her keys.

But neither was easy.

Zhou Manbai was talking about the terms of the deal, but she did not hide her act of kidnapping. She did not even hide her face as she stood before her.

Either she wasn’t afraid, or Zhou Manbai didn’t want her to live at all, so she wasn’t worried that she would find out her identity as a kidnapper.

Lin Gantang’s heart sank.

She called out, “Auntie Zhou.”

“Auntie? Heh.” Zhou Manbai walked to her side. “Now you know to call me Auntie Zhou. Let me tell you, it’s useless. Just wait quietly!”

“Auntie Zhou, you don’t have to be so hostile towards me. I’ve already been kidnapped by you and I didn’t get involved in the Wen family’s matters at all. So you shouldn’t vent your anger on me.” Lin Gantang lowered her voice, trying to make herself look weak and harmless.

Zhou Manbai laughed coldly. “Just blame your luck. Wen Yanqing likes you. If Wen Yanqing didn’t care about you, I wouldn’t have kidnapped you.”

“You’ve already kidnapped me. Can you give me something to eat? I’m so hungry,” Lin Gantang pleaded.

“Stay hungry! You won’t die if you starve for a day or two!” Zhou Manbai cursed.

Zhou Manbai remained unmoved and fiercely closed the car door.

Time ticked by.

Lin Gantang was locked up from dawn till dusk. She looked at the shadows under the trees outside the car and estimated the time.

24 hours was almost up. Zhou Manbai would definitely contact Wen Yanqing again to inform him of the time and place of the transaction. After that, in order to avoid being tracked, she would definitely continue to change locations.

She wondered if the next location would have such good escape conditions.

“Ouch.” Lin Gantang bent over and curled up, crying out in pain.

“Don’t play any tricks!” Zhou Manbai stepped forward and warned viciously.

“I’m not playing tricks. My stomach hurts due to hunger.” Lin Gantang bit her lip and leaned weakly against the car seat. “Auntie Zhou, give me something to eat. It’s okay if I don’t eat. The child in my stomach can’t take it.”

“Child?” Zhou Manbai’s expression changed.

Lin Gantang didn’t answer.

Zhou Manbai’s eyes flashed. The two of them had been together for a long time, so it was normal for them to be with child. Wen Yanqing’s child? Zhou Manbai laughed out loud. The earlier conditions were for getting Lin Gantang back, but getting the child back was yet another set of conditions!

“I regret it, Wen Yanqing.” Zhou Manbai dialed Wen Yanqing’s number. With a stern expression, she said, “If you want to protect your child, what I stated regarding the company and my brother are not enough. Bring the money and come alone tonight. What happens next? Do as I say!”

She wanted to see how he would choose between his child and himself!

Zhou Manbai’s location was once again locked on by this call.

“The location is displayed on the main mountain of Mount Wanfu.”

“There’s no change in their positions this time. Are they still in the same place? Superintendent Chen, should we get the police out immediately?”

“Child?” Lin Zhaonan suddenly looked at Wen Yanqing.

“There’s none.” Tangtang’s period had just passed. How could there be a child? Wen Yanqing tried his best to maintain his composure. “Tangtang is stalling her.”

Wen Yanqing felt that every second of waiting was extremely long. He wanted to rush to Lin Gantang’s side to resolve the danger and save her from harm as soon as possible.

The bulging veins on the back of his hand showed the anxiety he felt despite his calm exterior. However, Chen Tian noticed the subtle change in his expression and held him back. “Mr. Wen, the information you provided is very important to the police. I hope you won’t act alone..”

Chapter 452: Admitting Defeat Is Death

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Manbai tossed her phone aside and was about to leave again. She grinned hideously at Lin Gantang and tossed her a bun. “This is for you. Hang in there. Don’t get sick before the show starts!”

“At the very least, using this child to threaten Wen Yanqing to break one of his limbs was not too much to ask for!” Zhou Manbai thought viciously.

Lin Gantang went to get the bread, but her hands were tied. How could she eat it?

She looked at Zhou Manbai.

After being kidnapped, Lin Gantang had been docile for the entire day. This made Zhou Manbai lower her guard. She sneered, “Why are you looking at me! You still want me to feed you? Do you think you’re being served by the servants at home?”

Zhou Manbai was not afraid that she would run away with her small arms and legs. She opened the back door and helped her untie the ropes on her arms.

Her feet were still tied, so where could she run to? She couldn’t run far even if she tried!

Unexpectedly, the moment she released the rope, Lin Gantang pulled the rope and wrapped it around Zhou Manbai’s neck!

Zhou Manbai’s breathing quickened as she struggled frantically. Lin Gantang’s gaze was fierce as she tightened her grip on the rope. She allowed Zhou Manbai’s legs to kick her body and abdomen. She could not let go. If she let go, she would be tied back up. She would be hurt or even killed!

Zhou Manbai’s face started to turn red. She could not breathe, and her eyes were filled with rage. She took out the knife hidden in her pants and stabbed it mercilessly at Lin Gantang!

Lin Gantang’s feet were still tied up, so how could she escape? She panicked. She was afraid that she would be stabbed to death before Zhou Manbai fainted!

She let go of the rope and grabbed her hand in a death grip. Zhou Manbai was already beside the car, so she used all her strength to step on the car and used the momentum to throw herself onto Zhou Manbai.

Zhou Manbai fell to the ground and groaned.

Lin Gantang grabbed the knife.

“B*tch!” Zhou Manbai gripped the knife tightly in a fit of rage and pushed it towards her chest!

She used her hands and feet to hold Lin Gantang down. She raised her hand and stabbed the knife into the mud as Lin Gantang dodged.

Lin Gantang was at a disadvantage in every aspect, but she could not admit defeat. If she admitted defeat, she would die. Zhou Manbai had already gone crazy!

She could not be brought back to the car! Lin Gantang looked at the cold blade and used all her strength to kick Zhou Manbai away with her tied legs. She rolled on the ground and used the momentum to quickly roll down the steep slope.

Stones rubbed against her delicate skin, and tree branches scratched her face. Lin Gantang continued to roll until her back hit a tree, making her come to a stop.

Lin Gantang sat up in pain and quickly untied the hemp rope around her feet.

Zhou Manbai, who was on the steep slope, watched as Lin Gantang escaped right under her nose. She held the knife in her hand and walked down step by step with a vicious look in her eyes, following the trail to catch up to her.

She couldn’t let her escape! She was already prepared to leave this place. Even if she had to die in this round, she could not lose to Wen Yanqing!

The steep slope gave her a chance. Lin Gantang finally untied herself and stood up. She threw down the rope in her hand and watched as Zhou Manbai approach her step by step.

“Is there a need to kill me, taking my life and losing yours?” Lin Gantang stared at her icily.

“There was no need for that in the past,” Zhou Manbai smiled coldly. “Will you let me go now? Will Wen Yanqing let me off?

“Neither you nor Wen Yanqing will let me off! I’ve already killed one of them. What’s there to be afraid of if I kill two? I’ll kill you now and leave as planned. No one will be able to find me.. As for you, you’ll die here and make Wen Yanqing regret it!”

Chapter 453: Kill You? It Was Self-Defense

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“No one wants you to die. It’s you who wanted to come this far.” Lin Gantang stared at her weapon and was on guard against her actions. “If you don’t stop, you’re going to get yourself killed.”

“Haha.” Zhou Manbai laughed, looking like she had lost her marbles. “You’re right. I will come to this. I’m greedy, jealous, and vicious, but so what? What can you do to me? I’ll die? I’ll drag you along before I die!”

Zhou Manbai held the knife and slowly approached her. She said in a sinister tone, “You haven’t experienced the feeling of going from heaven to hell. Wen Rendong held me up high and abandoned me just like that. Wen Yanqing brought the Zhou family back to life and then pushed them down. He killed the Zhou family and me completely. None of them are good people!”

“But everything started because you killed Fang Xin, isn’t it?” Lin Gantang asked coldly as she warily watched her movements.

Because Zhou Manbai had killed people before, she did not care about human lives, so she kidnapped her and even wanted to kill her.

Fang Xin’s name was like a curse. Zhou Manbai’s eyes reddened in anger. She pounced at Lin Gantang fiercely. “Since you’re so concerned about her, I’ll send you down to meet your future mother-in-law!”

Lin Gantang dodged the fatal blow, but her waist still got stabbed by her.

She did not have the time to check the seriousness of the wound. She took the opportunity to grab Zhou Manbai’s hand that was holding the knife and bit it hard, almost biting through her flesh. Blinded by pain, Zhou Manbai dropped her knife. It fell to the ground and was kicked into the depths of the forest by Lin Gantang, hidden in the grass.

Zhou Manbai, who had lost her weapon, was nothing more than a woman who had lived a comfortable life. Lin Gantang grabbed her hair and slammed her head against a tree. “You want me to die? I haven’t lived enough.”

Zhou Manbai’s forehead was red from the impact, and blood seeped out. She scratched at Lin Gantang as if she wanted to eat her alive, twisting her body to tear her apart.

Zhou Manbai dragged Lin Gantang toward the ravine without a care for her life. She grabbed her and tripped her, causing her to fall to the ground. She rode on her and punched Lin Gantang’s shoulder. “Go to hell!”

Lin Gantang gripped her neck as her gaze became even more ruthless. Zhou Manbai used both hands to break free of the restraints on her neck, and her long nails dug into Lin Gantang’s hands. Lin Gantang pushed her to the side and threw a rock at her head.

Zhou Manbai was knocked dizzy and staggered to the ground. She immediately wanted to get up, but the dizziness made her fall once more.

She saw that Lin Gantang’s face was stained with blood. Her gaze was as sharp as a blade, and the rock in her hand was dyed red. Zhou Manbai’s face was ashen. She said ferociously, “If you kill me, you’re going to jail. Aren’t you afraid?”

Blood trickled down from the wounds on Lin Gantang’s arm. Her eyes were frosty. “Kill you? It was self-defense.”

Then, she pressed down on Zhou Manbai, who was struggling hard, and hammered her with the rock once more.

Zhou Manbai fell to the ground.

Lin Gantang threw the rock away and took two steps back. She panted heavily as she looked at Zhou Manbai lying on the ground.

She grabbed the hemp rope that she had untied from her legs and tied Zhou Manbai up. She then tied her arms behind her back and to a tree. She searched Zhou Manbai’s body for her car keys, but she couldn’t find them. She had lost them somewhere during the fight.

Lin Gantang walked upslope with difficulty. The branches scratched her skin, but she didn’t feel any pain. She covered the bleeding wound on her waist. The battle had accelerated the loss of blood. She felt giddy and almost fell a few times. She held onto a tree beside her.

Panting, she stumbled forward. When she heard the sirens coming from afar, her tensed nerves relaxed and she collapsed beside the tree..

Chapter 454: He Was Afraid of Losing Her

The next time Lin Gantang regained consciousness, she smelled disinfectant in the air. She opened her eyes and found herself lying in the hospital with a needle in the back of her hand.

She turned her head and saw Wen Yanqing beside the bed. His body was slightly curled up and his eyes were fatigued. He sat quietly as if he was in a daze.

Lin Gantang reached out and stroked his hair.

Wen Yanqing shifted his gaze and saw Lin Gantang staring at him.

“You’re awake?” He immediately went forward with concern, his voice hoarse.

Lin Gantang stroked his chin; it felt ticklish. “How long have you not rested? Your beard is growing.”

“I’m fine.” Wen Yanqing held her hand carefully. “Does any part of your body feel discomfort? Does it hurt?”

Lin Gantang looked at her arm that had been treated with medicine. Her waist was covered with a blanket, and there was a slight pain in her left abdomen. Although it wasn’t directly stabbed, it was quite a big cut and was likely stitched up.

“It hurts. My hands, my feet, and my waist hurt.” Lin Gantang’s eyes turned misty when someone showed concern for her.

Wen Yanqing pursed his lips tightly and said hoarsely, “I’m sorry. I’m the one who caused you to get hurt.”

Lin Gantang saw the guilt and self-blame in his eyes.

He was blaming himself.

She was afraid that she would pull on the wound on her waist, so she slowly sat up. Wen Yanqing immediately went forward to help her up.

Lin Gantang took the opportunity to hug and kiss him. “Why do you think that way? Natural and man-made disasters aren’t intentional, are they?”

“If I didn’t want to avenge my mother, I wouldn’t have angered Zhou Manbai. She wouldn’t have kidnapped you, and you wouldn’t have been injured.” Wen Yanqing felt extremely guilty.

“But if you don’t get justice for your mother, will you be happy in the future?” If he could let go of the pain of his mother’s murder easily, it wouldn’t become an obsession. Lin Gantang leaned against his chest and listened to his strong heartbeat. “Zhou Manbai killed someone. She deserves retribution. You should be blaming Zhou Manbai for her insanity, not your own heart.”

She knew how important his mother was to him. She was the only love and warmth he had during his difficult growing up days. She gave him endless tenderness that came from a mother.

He had personally witnessed his loved one being killed. Back then, he had spent a lot of effort to soothe the pain.

No one had the right to ask Wen Yanqing to let go of his obsession.

Wen Yanqing did not dare to move as Lin Gantang hugged him, afraid that he would accidentally touch her wound.

Wen Yanqing had been waiting for Lin Gantang to wake up. He did not dare to fall asleep. The moment he closed his eyes, he saw Lin Gantang lying under the tree with her bloodstained waist. She was covered in bruises of all sizes and her eyes were closed weakly. Wen Yanqing almost suffocated the moment he saw her, and his heart ached as if it was being forcefully ripped out of his chest.

Yes, his mother was very important to him, but so was Lin Gantang.

He was afraid of losing her, an unprecedented fear.

His mother had already passed away, and the only person he could hold on to was Lin Gantang. If he caused her to lose her life because of this, all the light in his life would disappear.

He would be left alone in the endless darkness. How could he move forward?

Wen Yanqing wanted to hug her tightly, but he did not dare to use force. “I should have done better. That way, you would not have been in danger. I would rather have these wounds on my body a hundred times over.”

“Don’t blame yourself. Otherwise, won’t the bad guys succeed? She just wants you to suffer and be in pain. I know your heart aches for me, but I’m not as fragile as you think,” Lin Gantang said softly..

Chapter 455: You’re Really Annoying

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When her family heard that she had woken up, they came to visit her.

Especially Jiang Tongtong, who did not even carry her child and worriedly rushed over to see her.

Lin Gantang was touched by the family’s concern for her.

It was a close call, but the most serious wound on her body was on her waist. If it had been in the past, she would probably have come over to bandage it, but now everyone treated her as though she was fragile.

Mr. Lin asked about the reason for her disappearance, and Lin Gantang told him about the disappearance of Sweet Wine.

Wen Yanqing’s eyes darkened. “The disappearance of Sweet Wine could have been a trap. Otherwise, how could Zhou Manbai have coincidentally taken you away?”

“If someone has the intention to harm others, it’s really impossible to guard against them.” Mr. Lin had lived through many hardships in his life. He could see it clearly. “Zhou Manbai will pay for her actions. Rest well. Leave the rest to me and Yanqing.”

Zhou Manbai had already been arrested.

However, she did not want to admit her guilt. She had threatened Wen Yanqing not to call the police, but when she found out that, from the moment she had given Wen Yanqing a warning call, all her calls had been monitored by the police, her expression was more interesting than an overturned color palette.

Zhou Manbai was already prepared to leave for another country. She wanted money and her family, and then she was prepared to bring them to live a good life of wealth and power in another country.

However, in the end, her lost morals and insatiable greed caused her to fall completely.

“Your face is so pale.” Jiang Tongtong was very worried. She stole a glance at the wound on Lin Gantang’s waist and her eyes turned red. “It must be very painful.”

Lin Gantang didn’t want her to worry. “It’s alright now. The cut looks a little long. It’s not as deep as the one I got in a fight in high school.”

Mr. Lin wanted to glare at her when he heard that. She still had the cheek to talk about her past fights. However, when he saw her lying on the hospital bed, his heart softened. “Whether it’s serious or not, you’d better stay in the hospital. Don’t think about making a fuss and going home halfway.”

“Am I such an insensible person?” Lin Gantang refused to admit it.

Who was the one who had injured her arm and wanted to leave the moment she was admitted to the hospital? Mr. Lin did not scold her. He glanced around the ward and did not see Wen Yanqing. He said, “You should persuade Yanqing to go home and rest for a while. He did not sleep the whole night and did not sleep yesterday either.”

He said, “After you were kidnapped, we didn’t realize that something was wrong. He was the one who sought Chen Tian’s help at the first instance. He was worried sick about you. If it wasn’t for him, the police wouldn’t have been dispatched so quickly.”

In the corridor of the hospital, Wen Yanqing held a bottle of water and drank it silently.

From time to time, he glanced in the direction of the ward, the dark light in his eyes filled with blame and shame.

He lowered his head until he saw a pair of shiny leather shoes stop in front of him.

He looked up. It was Gu Zhichuan.

Gu Zhichuan stood in front of Wen Yanqing with a bouquet of flowers. He was not smoking, but Wen Yanqing could still smell the faint scent of tobacco on him.

Wen Yanqing sat up straight.

“Is Gantang inside?” Gu Zhichuan said.

He did not go in immediately. Instead, he looked at Wen Yanqing and said, “You made it sound so nice that she’s with you. In the end, she’s still hurt because of you.”

Wen Yanqing looked up expressionlessly.

“Don’t say that you’re so considerate and attentive in the future. If you can’t even protect your own woman, what kind of man are you?” Gu Zhichuan attacked him.

“I know.” Wen Yanqing tightened the cap and placed it on the ground. “You’re trying to provoke me with this.”

“Do you think you’ve done well enough this time? At least when Gantang was with me, she didn’t suffer such physical pain, right?” Gu Zhichuan asked.

Wen Yanqing stood up. “Gu Zhichuan, you’re really annoying..”

Chapter 441: Looks Good in Wedding Pictures

Bei Bei was a little regretful. “How about I tell my mum that I can accept the opposite sex now? So she won’t be so fixated on me and Xu Bingxi and will let me off.”

“Then, when Auntie hears this, she’ll let you reject Bingxi. She’ll look for other matchmaking partners and continue to look for a good son-in-law,” Lin Gantang described.

“Ahhhh!” Bei Bei was filled with frustration. “What’s the difference between that and the past? Going on blind dates for a few days, and meeting a weird partner is simply a headache.”

Lin Gantang probed, “Do you think the men your mum found for you are better? Or Xu Bingxi?”

“Of course Xu Bingxi. At the very least, we can get along.” Bei Bei didn’t hesitate at all to give an answer.

“That’s right.” Lin Gantang shrugged.

Bei Bei was dispirited.

“You’ve never said anything about disliking Xu Bingxi. Just give him a chance. If you really don’t like him, you guys won’t have any regrets. Or do you not have any plans to date for the time being?” Lin Gantang asked.

“That’s not it. Who doesn’t want to be in love? It’s just that the more my mum urges me, the more I resist,” Bei Bei said truthfully.

She didn’t want to listen to her mum. She wanted a romantic boyfriend, and her mother wanted someone who knew how to live together. Neither of them could convince the other. Now that she was talking about it, she felt annoyed.

“Then have a good talk with your mother.” Lin Gantang lowered her head and helped her pick out some clothes. “When I was with Gu Zhichuan, my dad was very against it. I’m also very resistant to parents. So I can understand you a little.”

Bei Bei looked at her and asked, “Then how did you accept Wen Yanqing in the end? I remember that you didn’t have any feelings for him in the past.”

Just like her and Xu Bingxi, he was a good friend to her, who spent time together and she did not think about the possibility of their relationship developing in the past.

“It was easy to find out his good points after I put down my prejudice and got in touch with him. After all, he’s an outstanding person.” Speaking of Wen Yanqing, Lin Gantang’s eyes were filled with love. “Besides, he’s very fond of me. As long as I have feelings for him for a moment, it’ll be very difficult to let go, right?”

Lin Gantang remembered the little hamster that he had carefully given her, how he had silently accompanied her father and meticulously looked after him during his operation. She remembered the night he had rescued her from the water in Qinghe Manor.

She felt a little moved and realized that she had fallen in love with him.

“That’s great. But I don’t feel my heart racing for Xu Bingxi at all,” Bei Bei said enviously.

“What’s the rush? If possible, of course we have to find someone we like.” Lin Gantang smiled.

“Sigh, it’s so difficult.” Bei Bei sighed. “I’m still envious of the love in novels and comics. I only want to be in a relationship with a paper person.”

Lin Gantang burst out laughing.

Bei Bei scratched her head and said, “I don’t want to buy clothes. Accompany me to get my hair done. I want to change my hairstyle. It’s troublesome to tidy up my hair every day when it’s long.”

She looked at Lin Gantang’s hair that was growing longer and asked, “Do you want to cut it short? Let’s do it together.”

“I’ll accompany you.” Lin Gantang twirled her hair. “I’m not cutting it. Long hair looks good in wedding photos.”

“You two are preparing to get married?” Bei Bei was a little excited to hear this.

“Not yet.”

“Then why did you mention wedding photos?” Bei Bei felt that there was definitely something going on.

“Heh.”

“What are you laughing about?” Bei Bei poked her waist and chased after her. The two of them started to play. “Tell me. I can’t help but feel uncomfortable listening to you..”

Chapter 442: If He Was Unhappy, He Would Chop People Up

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

In the end, Lin Gantang had her hair done. Her long hair was soft and smooth. Bei Bei’s so-called ‘trimming’ was done up to her ears. She dyed it brown and looked lively and cute.

The two of them had dinner together when it was dark, happily chatting away. Later, they went to the square to look at the fountain. When it got late, they went back.

This Heavenly Queen, Bei Bei, changed her usual otaku behavior.

“I found a night market. There are a lot of gadgets there, but the workmanship might not be that exquisite. Do you want to go and take a look?” Bei Bei asked the next day.

Which girl didn’t like all kinds of cute little things? Lin Gantang agreed.

After a while, Bei Bei asked again, “Are you interested in going to the antique street? I remember that you majored in cultural relics appraisal. Can you accompany me? I want to take a look.”

“I’ve already returned the things I’ve learnt to the teacher.” Lin Gantang had to remind her honestly. “You’re actually asking a bad student to help you search for treasures?”

“It’s okay. I can’t buy much or get cheated with my little bit of money. I’ll find a beautiful one and bring it back to be displayed.” Bei Bei didn’t care at all.

Bei Bei was probably really afraid of her mother’s nagging. She usually liked to hide in her room and read novels and comics, but she was forced to go out every day and refused to go home.

Lin Gantang had never been to the antique street before, so she went along.

She did not notice Wen Yanqing’s increasingly resentful gaze.

Xu Bingxi finally managed to sincerely invite Bei Bei out and she left the bookstore where she had been playing with cats for the entire day. It was only then that Lin Gantang did not see Wen Yanqing when she returned home.

Working overtime? Lin Gantang sent a message to Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing replied with a photo.

At the dining table in the Lin family’s house, he was having dinner with Mr. Lin, Lin Zhaonan, and Jiang Tongtong. There was a half-finished glass of wine in front of him, and even Little Yi’an was at his seat at the dining table.

Lin Gantang was speechless.

What was going on?

You’re a family of five, what about me?

Who am I? Where am I?

“Why didn’t you call me when you went home! Am I not worthy to appear in the photo?”

Wen Yanqing replied, “Aren’t you with Bei Bei? I was eating alone and it’s lonely. I came home to get a free meal.”

Ah, I’m going to die. Lin Gantang could almost imagine her father’s ugly expression when he asked Wen Yanqing why she didn’t go back.

Help! She would definitely be scolded by her father again.

“When are you coming back?” Lin Gantang’s head hurt.

“I’m drinking, so I won’t be going back. I’ll sleep in your room for the night.”

“There’s a chauffeur at home.”

“I’m on leave. Don’t trouble your family. Sleep by yourself tonight.”

Lin Gantang turned around and wanted to go back to the Lin residence, but when she thought of her father’s stern face…she didn’t dare to return. Anyway, Yanqing was coming back tomorrow. She would wait for her father to forget about this matter before going over?

Lin Gantang silently withdrew her foot.

Lin Gantang spent the night alone. When she woke up the next day, she realized that Wen Yanqing had not returned. He must have gone straight to the company from the Lin residence.

When she wanted to go to the company to look for him at night, he replied with a message. “I’m already here to accompany Uncle as we were halfway through the chess game last night.”

“How much longer? When are you coming back?” Lin Gantang asked.

“I’m not sure. It’s rare for Uncle to be happy.”

Then, he sent a photo of him playing chess with Mr. Lin in the living room.

Lin Gantang zoomed in on the photo and saw the ‘happy’ Mr. Lin. No, I think he’s unhappy, the kind where he would chop people up.

After another hour, Lin Gantang had finished showering and the video had been edited. She asked, “Are you back?”

Wen Yanqing said, “You don’t have to wait for me. Go to sleep first. Although I was waiting for you when you and Bei Bei were shopping and I didn’t fall asleep..”

Chapter 443: Gosh!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

How could she not wait up then? Not long after, Lin Gantang sent a message, muttering, “What chess are you playing, playing for so long?”

“I’m not playing chess. Uncle told me to sleep early so that we can play golf together tomorrow.”

Lin Gantang was speechless.

Are you planning to not come back anymore?

If you continue to stay there, you’ll become my dad’s biological son. What about me? Is there still a place for me at home? If I go back, my identity will be that of a daughter-in-law?

Lin Gantang hurriedly took the keys and prepared to go home. He could beat her up, but she couldn’t possibly lose her boyfriend and her position as Old Lin’s daughter.

Before she set off, she saw her phone ring. Yin Zhen was looking for her. “What are you doing? Come to my house for a drink.”

“I’m busy. I’m busy picking up the daughter-in-law who’s back at her maiden home.”

Yin Zhen was confused.

Lin Gantang drove all the way home and saw her brother when she entered the garage.

Lin Zhaonan watched as his sister braked and stopped the car. He looked at his Porsche with a pained expression.

“Give me the car keys.” Lin Zhaonan stretched out his hand.

“Where are you going?” Lin Gantang pulled out the car keys and handed them to him.

“I’m not telling you.” Lin Zhaonan immediately put away the car keys. “I’ll send the car for maintenance tomorrow. You’re not allowed to drive it anymore.”

“Oh.” Lin Gantang’s gaze swept across the other sports cars in the garage.

Lin Zhaonan immediately pushed her out of the garage. “Go, hurry. Yanqing is upstairs.” Don’t even think about having ideas about his cars!

Lin Gantang walked into the house and poked her head in like a thief.

There was no one in the living room, so Lin Gantang tiptoed upstairs. She realized that a small shadow was quietly, gradually, and slowly sticking its head out from the bottom of the stairs – Gosh! Lin Gantang got a shock!

Little Orange jumped three feet high in fright.

They mutually harmed each other.

Lin Gantang touched her chest and heaved a sigh of relief.

She sneaked upstairs to her room and twisted the doorknob… It couldn’t be opened.

There was actually a day when I’m not even qualified to enter my own room?

Knock knock.

No one opened it.

Lin Gantang called him and continued to knock on the door.

The door opened with a click. Wen Yanqing came out in his pajamas. “Huh? Why are you here?”

“This is my house. Can’t I be here?”

“Oh, right. You…” Wen Yanqing said.

The sudden noise from Mr. Lin’s room downstairs made Lin Gantang’s scalp tingle. She quickly covered Wen Yanqing’s mouth, pushed him into the room, and closed the door behind her.

Then, she heaved a sigh of relief.

“What are you doing?” Wen Yanqing looked down at her. “Sneaking around.”

“Don’t disturb my dad. Let’s go quietly, shall we?” Lin Gantang said. “Go home.”

“Isn’t your house my house?” Wen Yanqing walked back to the bed.

Lin Gantang thought, “There doesn’t seem to be anything wrong with that statement?”

“When do you want to leave?” she asked.

“I’m not leaving. This place is so good. I’m not alone and have people to talk to.” Wen Yanqing lay down to sleep.

Alone… Lin Gantang remembered that she hadn’t been with him for the past few days, so she climbed into bed and asked,” Are you angry? Because Bei Bei and I went to have fun?”

Wen Yanqing gave her half of the blanket. “I’m not angry. I just want someone to accompany me for a meal.”

“… I’ll bring you along next time?” When Lin Gantang saw the blanket that was given to her, she subconsciously went to sleep beside him. She turned sideways and said, “No, I’m not going. There’s nothing fun. I’ll accompany you.”

“You don’t have to accommodate me. You should have your own social circle. It’s normal,” Wen Yanqing said considerately.

“I’m not accommodating. I’m doing it willingly.” Lin Gantang hugged his waist and leaned over obediently.

“Is that so?” Wen Yanqing smiled.. “You promise then; let’s sleep together?”

Chapter 444: What Are You Trying to Convey?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When her boyfriend smiled, Lin Gantang was relieved. She hugged him and fell asleep groggily. She had completely forgotten why she had secretly wanted to take her boyfriend away.

When she opened her eyes at daybreak, Lin Gantang woke up, brushed her teeth, stretched, and walked downstairs. She saw Mr. Lin staring at her.

Lin Gantang was dumbfounded. Was it too late to start all over again?

“Come down and have breakfast.” Mr. Lin’s face darkened.

Lin Gantang knew that it was too late.

She moved to Wen Yanqing’s side and sat down properly.

“You didn’t tell me you were coming back. I didn’t make breakfast for you.” Mr. Lin sat down with a serious expression.

“Then why did you call me over to eat…”

Mr. Lin glared at her and Lin Gantang shut up.

“When did you come back?” Mr. Lin asked.

“Last night.”

“You came back sneakily; you know that you did something wrong. Are you afraid that I’ll scold you?”

Lin Gantang thought, “No, I’m afraid you’ll beat me up.”

However, Lin Gantang nodded obediently.

“Dad isn’t an unreasonable person. You’re like a thief in your own house. If you were to tell others, you would make a fool of yourself.” Mr. Lin nagged at her. “Dad knows that you know your limits now that you’re older. But isn’t it a little too much for you to leave Yanqing alone at home to go out and have fun when he’s having a headache?”

Lin Gantang immediately looked at Wen Yanqing, her clear eyes seemingly asking, “Headache?”

Wen Yanqing cleared his throat and nodded seriously.

Lin Gantang reached out and touched his forehead.

“Take your claws back. How can Dad not take good care of Yanqing at home? He’s already fine by now!” Mr. Lin was both displeased and disgusted. “You didn’t come earlier or later. You just had to wait for me to say that I was taking Yanqing to play golf before you came.”

Lin Gantang raised her hand silently. “Dad, have you ever thought that.you can just bring me along?”

“Hmm? I guess you’re right?” Mr. Lin paused.

So, you didn’t think of bringing your daughter along at all, right? Lin Gantang accepted it and was used to it.

Mr. Lin went to prepare excitedly.

“Aren’t you busy?” Lin Gantang grabbed Wen Yanqing’s hand before they set off.

“Uncle has an appointment with President Fu and President Cheng. Work might not be in the company’s office,” he said gently.

Lin Gantang understood and didn’t let go of him. “Why is your head hurting again?” she asked with concern. “Didn’t you recover last time?”

Wen Yanqing looked at her meaningfully. “Little Litang is always making people get hot recently.”

She was most afraid that he would call her Little Litang in a soft and loving voice. Every time he called her that, her ears would heat up. Lin Gantang glared at him. “Nonsense. Pears don’t get hot.”

Wen Yanqing chuckled. “That’s right. I’ll eat pears tonight.”

Why did this sound a little off?

D*mn it, what are you trying to say in broad daylight? Lin Gantang slapped his arm, feeling ashamed and furious.

In the end, her father, who didn’t know what was going on, saw Lin Gantang’s actions. “What are you doing? Bullying Yanqing again?”

Wen Yanqing looked at Lin Gantang’s numb expression and could not help but laugh. He held Lin Gantang’s arm. “No. Uncle, we’re playing.”

Mr. Lin didn’t believe it, but he ignored the two of them and told them to get into the car and go straight to the course.

When she was young, Mr. Lin had taught Lin Gantang how to play golf, but she didn’t show any interest and stopped learning.

Lin Gantang’s standard was so bad that she couldn’t bring herself to embarrass herself in front of others. Wen Yanqing had come to accompany Mr. Lin. After the few of them had their fill, he stopped and returned to the rest area to chat with everyone with a smile.

President Fu also lived in the villa area near the Lin family and would occasionally see Lin Gantang. Now that he saw her sitting together with Wen Yanqing, he could not help but smile kindly. “Haha, Old Lin, you’re lucky. None of my three children are willing to accompany an old man. Your child is really sensible..”

Chapter 445: Happiness Arrives Quietly

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

“No, no.” Mr. Lin was secretly happy. He said humbly, “She can’t compare to your three children. My daughter doesn’t have any industry sensitivity at all. Last year, I was still worried about what she could do.”

“Children and grandchildren have their own blessings. We can’t care so much. By the way, Old Lin, I heard that your company is preparing to develop a new project. Did you receive any news? Tell me about it?”

Mr. Lin glanced at Wen Yanqing and smiled. “You should ask Yanqing. He knows better than me.”

President Fu was envious. Old Lin was lucky to have Wen Yanqing as his future son-in-law. Wen Yanqing could analyze at a glance the phenomena that others could not understand nor predict. The Lin family had Wen Yanqing. No matter what they did, they would not reach a dead end.

Heh, I also want that daughter of yours who makes you worried about what she can do. Look at the boyfriend she found, it’s a steal.

The few of them chatted to their heart’s content.

After returning from the golf course, Lin Gantang was a little sleepy. She sat down and was dozing off. However, she refused to close her eyes.

Wen Yanqing pressed her onto his shoulder. “Sleep for a while. Let’s go home and continue sleeping.”

“Go back to our house,” Lin Gantang said as she leaned against him obediently, not forgetting although she was sleepy.

Wen Yanqing lowered his head to look at her. His eyes seemed to be filled with starlight. He smiled gently and said, “Alright, let’s go back to our house.”

The two of them returned to their home by Yuanshui River.

Lin Gantang woke from her nap after getting out of the car. Wen Yanqing returned to the office, so she stayed at home to study recipes.

When Wen Yanqing returned home at night, the house was filled with the fragrance of dinner. There was a bright lamp in the living room, which was ordinary yet heart-warming.

Wen Yanqing felt that the day’s fatigue dissipate.

He walked into the kitchen and saw his beloved humming a song in front of the stove, stirring the ingredients in a pot of soup. When she saw Wen Yanqing approaching, she kissed his face happily. “You’re back. Let’s eat.”

Everything was so simple and warm that it deeply moved one.

Happiness seemed to have quietly descended upon him when he was not paying attention.

“Help me take the dishes out.” Lin Gantang smiled lightly.

Finally, Lin Gantang brought the soup that she had stewed for a long time to the dining table. She scooped out a bowl and placed it in front of him. She looked at him expectantly. “This is for you. Drink it.”

“For me?”

Lin Gantang nodded. “Didn’t you say that you had a headache? I specially stewed it.”

“It’s delicious.” Wen Yanqing took a sip.

“Of course. My cooking skills are average, but I’m best at making soup. Drink more,” Lin Gantang said proudly. “I’ll make you something to replenish your energy tomorrow. You work so hard every day.”

“Sure.” Wen Yanqing smiled.

He enjoyed her concern for him.

Meanwhile, Lin Gantang was joyful that Wen Yanqing cherished her efforts.

Who didn’t want their intentions to be properly treasured? Lin Gantang’s soup-brewing skills had gone from being unfamiliar to skilled. She had practiced it again and again. She had put in a lot of effort, but Gu Zhichuan had only drunk a little.

Therefore, how could she dislike Wen Yanqing? Every little bit of effort she had put in was cherished by him.

Lin Gantang cupped her face as she watched him drink the soup. She said gently, “In the past, I thought it was useless to learn how to cook. Now I know that it’s great to know how to cook. I like the present. In the future, you can’t complain that my cooking tastes bad.”

“No one can make a better soup than you, Tangtang.”

Wen Yanqing drank the soup that warmed his heart.

He didn’t have to care who she had learned to wash her hands and make soup for, because from now on, she was only doing it for him..

Chapter 446: Do You Want a Pear?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

When he was together with the person he liked, even the food he ate seemed sweet.

Lin Gantang had a small appetite and was the first to finish her meal. She put down her bowl and sat opposite Wen Yanqing, then began to tease him by hooking his pants with her feet.

The weather was warm, and her feet were warm as well. She touched his skin lazily and felt a little aroused.

“Are you hinting that I can do something to you?” Wen Yanqing ate slowly.

“What are you thinking about?” Lin Gantang paused. “Eat properly.”

She retracted her leg and looked at the tabby cat cat squatting at the dining table, staring at the food on the table. “Big Mi, you’re not a dog. Why do you keep staring at people eating, just like a dog?”

She picked up Big Mi and forcefully brought it to the living room. In the end, she realized that, just as she put it down, the cat had slipped away to its father again.

Forget it, forget it.

Lin Gantang was curled up on the sofa and asked Yin Zhen what happened last night. She actually wanted to drink with her.

After a long time, Yin Zhen replied, “You care so little for me. Why are you only asking about yesterday’s matter now?”

Lin Gantang replied, “I didn’t even want to ask today. I’m just a little bored now.”

“I should thank you for still thinking of me?”

“You’re welcome. It’s my pleasure.”

Yin Zhen choked, “Forget it, I’m waiting for you to have a conscience. I finished work early last night and came home. I wanted to find someone to chat with. What were you busy with last night?”

“Nothing much. I just went back to my dad’s place.”

Lin Gantang and Yin Zhen chatted casually. The TV in the living room was on, showing Lin Gantang’s favorite variety show.

When Wen Yanqing came out, he saw Lin Gantang watching TV in a relaxed manner. She laughed out loud from time to time and occasionally replied to messages with a smile on her face.

“Who are you chatting with?” Wen Yanqing sat beside her.

Lin Gantang leaned against him and rested her head on his lap like a spineless person. She typed as she said, “With Yin Zhen. She wanted to have a drink with me before I left last night.”

Wen Yanqing caressed her soft long hair and lowered his head to kiss her. Lin Gantang took the initiative to respond to his kiss. When her lips and tongue parted, she asked, “Are you full? Do you want to eat pears?”

“Yes.”

Lin Gantang reached for a freshly washed pear on the coffee table and stuffed it into his mouth. Then, she picked up her phone and continued to reply to Yin Zhen.

Wen Yanqing stared at her and took a big bite.

The next day, Lin Gantang wanted to go to the bookstore, but Lin Zhaonan had taken the car back, so it was a little inconvenient. She and Wen Yanqing left at different times. Wen Yanqing returned to the office early in the morning, while the bookstore only opened for business at noon.

Wen Yanqing asked the chauffeur to send her over; he could pick her up at night.

Wen Yanqing had asked her which car she liked at the Lin residence. Lin Gantang had gotten used to driving her brother’s Porsche and expressed that she wanted that little cutie.

“Brother, you haven’t given me pocket money for a long time.” Lin Gantang went to look for Lin Zhaonan.

Lin Zhaonan took the time to reply to her, “Didn’t you say you didn’t want it?”

“I want it; I want it every month. There’s no need to trouble you to transfer it to me. Let me use your car. You can slowly deduct it from my pocket money.”

Lin Zhaonan thought to himself, “Why don’t you just say that you’re coveting my car?”

She didn’t give anything and simply took a car away.

“Why didn’t you look at Yanqing and Dad’s cars?”

Lin Gantang replied, “You’re saying so much because you don’t have enough money? Then deduct it from my dividends. Sigh, you even helped me with maintenance. Brother, you’re really super considerate. I love you.”

Lin Zhaonan thought, “Love, my foot!”

Chapter 447: What Bad Thoughts Could A Cat Have?

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Lin Gantang returned to the bookstore. Today was the cats’ routine health checkup, so Lin Gantang took the opportunity to shoot a video of the checkup. Since she had nothing to do, she went to the second floor and found a corner to sit down and edit it on her computer.

After learning editing seriously some time ago, she was now very familiar with it.

Ximi refused to open for business today and kept sticking to her side. Lin Gantang touched it every now and then. It didn’t seem satisfied and jumped onto the table, laying down on the computer.

Lin Gantang, who was editing, was at a loss for words.

She carried the cat down, and Ximi turned around and came back. She stepped on the keyboard and lay down again.

Lin Gantang pushed it away, and it came back like flowing water. It didn’t even let her move. Once she touched the keyboard, it reached out its claws to press on her hand.

What bad intentions could a cat have? It just wanted to play with you.

Lin Gantang stopped editing. Since she wasn’t in a hurry, she simply found a cat teaser and started playing with Ximi.

After a while, she saw Gu Zhichuan walking over.

Lin Gantang frowned slightly.

Gu Zhichuan had been coming to the bookstore a little too frequently recently.

He stopped in front of the table and placed a cup of milk tea next to the computer. “You like this,” he said. “I passed by and brought you a cup since it’s on the way.”

Lin Gantang didn’t say she wanted it.

Gu Zhichuan knew that she liked milk tea because he had seen Wen Yanqing buy milk tea for her twice. He had never paid attention to this before.

Gu Zhichuan’s eyes dimmed. He was afraid that she would reject him, so he did not stay any longer. “I’ll leave first. I won’t disturb you.”

Gu Zhichuan also left happily, unlike how he used to be.

Lin Gantang saw the change in him, but her heart remained calm.

She took the laptop and locked it, not even drinking the milk tea on the table.

After Lin Gantang left, Shi Muzhen came out from behind the bookshelf. She stood in front of the cup of milk tea for a long time, her eyes filled with complicated and dark emotions.

Lin Gantang didn’t return for a long time. Shi Muzhen picked up her milk tea and walked out.

She stood outside the bookstore and did not see Gu Zhichuan. Shi Muzhen tightened her grip on the milk tea and smashed it onto the road. She then left with a straight face.

The cup of milk tea shattered, and the milk tea splattered all over the ground.

Lin Gantang locked her laptop and came out with Ximi in her arms. She realized that the milk tea was gone. She looked around but didn’t see anything. Although she felt it strange, she didn’t continue looking.

In the evening, Lin Gantang sent Wen Yanqing a message, saying that she was going to look for him later. Then, she put down her phone.

“Boss, Sweet Wine is gone,” Qian Ruoxi said anxiously as she walked over.

Lin Gantang got up and searched the shop, but she really couldn’t find any trace of Sweet Wine.

“Let’s take a look at the surveillance cameras.” It would be terrible if it ran outside. Who knew if it could find its way back.

Hence, Lin Gantang and Qian Ruoxi were checking the surveillance footage in front of the computer when they came across Shi Muzhen stealing her milk tea.

Lin Gantang furrowed her brows and did not say anything. She stared at the screen and continued to look for Sweet Wine.

Sweet Wine had been active on the first floor until it played with a girl in green. The girl opened the door and left, and it slipped out through the crack in the door.

The girl was checking the books she had bought as she walked. It was unknown whether she had noticed Sweet Wine, but she didn’t walk in the same direction as Sweet Wine.

Sweet Wine ran away.

“I’ll go look for it,” Lin Gantang said to Qian Ruoxi.

A pampered Ragdoll cat had poor disease resistance and was also weak at surviving on its own. If it was not found, Sweet Wine would suffer.

She took out a photo of Sweet Wine on her phone and asked people along the way. A few shops away, an employee said that he had seen it and pointed the way. Lin Gantang searched for it along the way..

Chapter 448: Lin Gantang Is In My Hands

Fortunately, Qian Ruoxi had realized early on that the cat had gone missing. Sweet Wine had not gone too far. An auntie in flowery clothes said in her broken Mandarin that she had seen it on a boulevard.

Lin Gantang walked further in along the tree-lined path. There were fewer people here, so Sweet Wine was strolling leisurely while avoiding the crowd, sizing up the world outside.

Lin Gantang went over and picked it up, patting the dirt off its body. “You suddenly ran off. What if you get lost and can’t find your way back?”

Just as she was about to turn around with the cat in her arms, a hand suddenly reached out from behind and covered her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.

The Ragdoll cat was startled and jumped up a tree. Its almond-shaped blue eyes stared down warily.

Shengfang Group.

Wen Yanqing was listening to Yi Qian’s report. “Director Qiao has already resigned. Previously, the company that offered him double pay went back on its word. He’s probably so angry that he’s banging the table now.”

Of course, they wouldn’t hire him. It was just a condition made to tempt him.

“His wife is even better – she has something against him and is now asking for a divorce. She wants him to leave the family with nothing. Director Qiao is in a terrible state right now.”

“Get someone to ask Mrs. Qiao if she needs legal aid.” As Wen Yanqing listened, he calmly signed the contract as if he was listening to a passerby’s story.

With the Wen family’s lawyer stepping in, Director Qiao could only pray for the best.

He drugged others and got some benefits, yet still wanted the victim to let him off easily, not knowing that his actions were vicious and deserved punishment.

Wen Yanqing knew that Lin Gantang was coming, so he waited for her. However, she did not arrive after a long time had passed. Looking at the time, it was getting late.

He made a call, but no one picked up. After a while, he called again, but the call went unanswered once more.

Wen Yanqing frowned and dialed the number in the bookstore.

“Hello?” Qian Ruoxi answered.

“I’m Wen Yanqing. Has Gantang gone home?”

“One of the cats in the shop ran away. The boss went to look for it just now and hasn’t returned. I don’t know if she has gone home directly,” Qian Ruoxi said.

Wen Yanqing didn’t see Lin Gantang. He asked Yi Qian to wait there and call him when he saw Lin Gantang.

Yi Qian, who was about to get off work, was a little nervous when he saw the CEO’s expression. What’s more, he was leaving in a hurry. Yi Qian felt that something might have happened and immediately agreed.

Lin Gantang was not in the bookstore. Wen Yanqing made a trip home, but the house was empty. With knitted brows, he called the Lin family and Lin Zhaonan at the company, but they all said they hadn’t seen her.

“Could she have gone to a friend’s place?” Lin Zhaonan asked.

Wen Yanqing felt an inexplicable sense of unease. He continued to call Lin Gantang’s phone. This time, the call was suddenly picked up. “Hello?”

Wen Yanqing’s heart skipped a beat. However, he did not recognize this female voice. “You are…?”

“I was just passing by. This is the phone I picked up. Are you the owner of the phone?”

“May I ask where you got the phone?”

“Following Hexing Road and turn onto a tree-lined road. It’s in a pile of tall grass.”

When Wen Yanqing rushed over, the young lady who had picked up the phone returned it. Wen Yanqing thanked her and looked at the surroundings with a frown.

Wen Yanqing had a bad feeling and immediately contacted Superintendent Chen Tian.

Sure enough, when he met Chen Tian at the police station, he received a call from an unknown number.

“Wen Yanqing, Lin Gantang is in my hands. If you want her to live, be good and listen to me.”

Zhou Manbai said arrogantly to Wen Yanqing.

Wen Yanqing recognized Zhou Manbai’s voice. His face was as dark as thunder. He turned on the speaker under Chen Tian’s gaze. “What are you trying to do?”

“I have a lot to do. Don’t even think about calling the police, or I’ll kill the hostage,” Zhou Manbai said coldly.

Chen Tian made a gesture, and the police officers around him made a move..

Chapter 449: Fight to the Death

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Manbai probably would never have thought that Wen Yanqing’s reaction was faster than hers. She definitely did not know about Wen Yanqing’s relationship with Chen Tian.

When her arrogant words rang out in the police station, the police had already reacted immediately.

The police were trying to track Zhou Manbai’s location through the communication device. Wen Yanqing tried to steady Zhou Manbai. “What do you want?”

On the dark mountain, the only light was from the car headlights.

“The Zhou Corporation has gone bankrupt. I want you to give me enough money. Also, get my brother out of the police station. The case is still open. I’m sure you have a way.” Zhou Manbai’s tone was icy. “If you can’t do it, I’ll speed off the cliff with the car. Whether Lin Gantang can survive or not will depend on her luck.”

Lin Gantang woke up after hearing the last sentence. Her mind was still a little fuzzy, but she clearly heard Zhou Manbai’s vicious intentions.

She closed her eyes and remained motionless.

“How can I be sure that Gantang is in your hands?”

Zhou Manbai turned around and looked at the unconscious Lin Gantang. She did not answer him. “I’ll give you one day. If I don’t hear the news I want by this time tomorrow, you can just wait to find Lin Gantang’s corpse off some cliff!”

“The person you want to deal with is me. Do you think you can get away with it just because you hurt her?”

“At most, we’ll fight to the death! I won’t lose out, killing your mum and dragging your sweetheart along!” Zhou Manbai’s eyes were filled with madness. “Since you’ve made me desperate, I’ll let you have a taste of having the people you care about leaving you one by one!”

Zhou Manbai slammed the phone shut. She was afraid that Wen Yanqing would not believe her, so she took a photo of Lin Gantang in the backseat and sent it over. Then, she threw the phone on the road.

Wen Yanqing received a photo on his phone. Lin Gantang’s hands and feet were tied up and she was lying unconscious on the seat.

“I’ve located it. It’s near Mount Youzhi.” Chen Tian had just pointed out the location when he realized that the location had suddenly been cut off.

Zhou Manbai switched off her phone and started the car. She crushed the phone on the ground and drove back onto the road.

Lin Gantang only felt that the car was going in circles. The road was sometimes smooth and sometimes bumpy. She peeked out of the car window. It was pitch-black. There were no lights or iconic buildings.

She struggled to free her hands and realized that they were tied tightly. Under the dim light in the car, she could see that her ankles were also tied up by the same hemp rope.

She recognized that the person who kidnapped her was Zhou Manbai, and she didn’t see any accomplices.

Lin Gantang closed his eyes and waited for an opportunity.

The car kept driving, passing by a brightly lit road. Then, it became quieter and quieter. There were fewer and fewer sounds of other cars passing by.

If Zhou Manbai followed her plan, she would have left and gone to a remote mountain ridge if she was worried about exposing her location at the earlier place – somewhere where she could destroy a person and a car, killing her.

When the car stopped, Lin Gantang saw the crescent moon outside the window.

The car should have arrived at the destination. Zhou Manbai got out of the car and walked away. Not long after, she came back to check on Lin Gantang. Seeing that she did not show any signs of struggling, she returned to the driver’s seat and sat down. There was no movement for a long time.

She should be asleep.

Using the moonlight outside the window to determine the direction of the knot, Lin Gantang bit the rope on her wrist.

However, things did not go according to her wishes. Before Lin Gantang could let go of the rope, Zhou Manbai, who was sitting in the front seat, suddenly shuddered. She must have been woken up from her sleep. She turned around and stared at Lin Gantang without blinking, her eyes sweeping across her messy hair and supine position.

“You’re awake. The effects of the drug must have worn off,” Zhou Manbai said with certainty. “You don’t have to pretend anymore.”

Lin Gantang opened her eyes..

Chapter 450: She Wants Wen Yanqing to Die with Regrets!

Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio

Zhou Manbai threatened Lin Gantang, “Don’t play any tricks. If you dare to run, do you believe that I will step on the accelerator and rush down the cliff to expose your corpse in the wilderness? You better pray that your boyfriend is quick, or else don’t even think about continuing to live!”

When the time came, it would be best if the car was destroyed and exploded, and everything would be burned to ashes.

She would not confess. She wanted Wen Yanqing to die with regrets!

Everyone sought after the glory and wealth of the past; the days of squandering money were all gone! Zhou Manbai looked at the hostage she had kidnapped and was enraged.

If it was in the past, she would not have to do this herself. She did not have money and those who could be hired for kidnapping were all desperate criminals. Without money, how could she convince them to work for her?

But it didn’t matter. The person before her was merely a pampered woman. She had fainted with the use of some drugs.

Zhou Manbai sneered.

The sky was starting to brighten. Lin Gantang sat up and looked around. There were countless trees around the car, and the line of sight from the car was narrow. She could only see a large concave mountain in front of the car. It was extremely steep, and the chances of survival were exceedingly low if a person fell in a car fell from here.

She turned her head and saw a road carved out using the car. There was a steep hill on the right side of the car door, and there was not a soul in sight.

Zhou Manbai was surveying the surroundings outside the car.

Lin Gantang glanced at the driver’s seat and saw that the car key had been taken away.

Her wrists were tied tightly; her struggle made it additionally painful. Lin Gantang curled up in the seat, her soft body controlling her balance. Her fingers touched the knot on her feet.

She pulled hard and tried to maintain her calm expression.

However, Zhou Manbai had returned. Under her surveillance, Lin Gantang had no chance to make a move.

The entire morning passed, with Lin Gantang feeling jittery. Zhou Manbai gradually became anxious and irritable. She did not give Lin Gantang any food or drink and kept watch over her closely.

Lin Gantang was certain of one thing. Zhou Manbai was alone without any helpers, so she had a greater chance of winning than with a burly man.

A night passed, and the entire Lin family also found out that Lin Gantang had been kidnapped. Lin Zhaonan had asked Wen Yanqing if Lin Gantang had been found, and Mr. Lin had overheard it, so he could not hide it.

Wen Yanqing had not slept for the entire night and his eyes were bloodshot from the exhaustion. Because Wen Yanqing recognized the kidnapper’s voice as Zhou Manbai’s, the police had an entry point, making it easier for them to investigate the clues.

“Miss Lin was last seen on the boulevard. After comparing these suspicious vehicles, we found that one of them should be a counterfeit car. The possibility of committing a crime is very high.”

The police officer pointed at the low-key white car.

“The fastest way is to locate it directly, but the suspect is very vigilant. We have already sent people to investigate Mount Youzhi and found this broken phone. It should be the communication tool from before.”

“She should be on a mountain now.” Wen Yanqing said, “Zhou Manbai wasn’t bluffing when she mentioned driving off a cliff. She’s harmed people before. Her methods are more ruthless.”

The police immediately used a map to pinpoint the location.

Lin Zhaonan had hurried over some time ago. “Where are you going?” Lin Zhaonan asked when he saw him turn around.

“Prepare the cash and Zhou Fucheng. If the police can’t find her, are we going to do the transaction empty-handed?” Wen Yanqing clenched his fists tightly. “I’m afraid that Zhou Manbai won’t keep her word. If she goes back on her word…”

Lin Zhaonan felt that there was something amiss with Wen Yanqing’s current state. The viciousness in his eyes was frightening. He pressed on Wen Yanqing’s shoulder. “Don’t be rash. There’s still time.”

“Found it.” Chen Tian revealed the good news. “It’s this car. It followed the narrow road and entered the area around Mount Wanfu. It’s just that there are very few surveillance cameras in the remote area. It’s a little difficult to search..”
