Chapter 276: Chapter 276: Crossed Him_1
The horrifying scream led me to believe that Liu Yu and her daughter might be in danger.

I should rush over to provide some assistance.

Unexpectedly, Ayu turned around and shut the door,

“There, it’s a mountainous area, and it’s raining so hard you can barely see anything. If you go out there, you might end up falling to your death, let alone being any help to others.”

“You aware of the danger? Since you’re aware, then why not go and check, just in case …”

At this moment, another man wearing a plaid shirt said,

“Don’t panic! Qi Ming has already gone looking. It’s his wife and child, he’ll be responsible.”

It was then that I looked around and noticed that indeed Qi Ming was not in the room.

Only Little three is left sitting in the corner, filing his nails with a nail file, and checking his phone occasionally.

On the surface, he seemed calm, but he was actually concealing his inner anxiety.

Qi Ming has left!

That increases the danger for Liu Yu. Even if she knows that Qi Ming is planning to harm her, she can’t possibly fight him off by herself.

She needs me!

Thinking of the two poor little girls, I can’t help but feel very anxious.

However, Ayu stood guard at the door with his arms crossed, and the other guys were all drinking and having fun, completely oblivious, showing a cold-hearted and indifferent attitude.

I have to go check!

“Open the door!”

I had a confrontation with Ayu.

But Ayu was determined, he crossed his arms and leant against the door, looking at me with a teasing look.

“Beauty, you’re better off not challenging my patience! I’m not Brother Zhou, I won’t treat you kindly, I have no patience with women.”

“Who wants to challenge you! You just need to open the door, I need to get out!”

“What are you going out for? I’ve already said it, what happens within Qi family has nothing to do with you. The couple want to find some romance, you’ll just be a third wheel, don’t you feel embarrassed?”

“I’m not going to find them, I need to go home. It’s already so late, I need to go.”

I tried everything, but Ayu was very stubborn

No matter what I said, he stubbornly refused to open the door.

Just as we were in a deadlock, Gu Yuanzhou suddenly came out.

“How did you get out?”

He was asking me.

But Ayu answered first,

“Brother Zhou, look at this woman…running around in her pajamas, it’s embarrassing for us. Why don’t you take her back to her room? Otherwise, if something happens, she could falsely accuse us of molesting her, what then?”

“Enough of your nonsense!”

“Brother Zhou, she just came over to pull at me…”

Ayu’s outburst made everyone burst into laughter, a bunch of people laughing in a very twisted manner.

Gu Yuanzhou also moved next to me, he grabbed my arm.

“Enough, let’s go back to the room.”

“Gu Yuanzhou, I want to go back!”

“Aren’t you going to talk about Song Zexi anymore?”

“I want to, but there are more urgent matters at hand!”

Gu Yuanzhou kept trying to stop me, forcibly dragging me back to the room.

I still pushed him away,

“Gu Yuanzhou, how can you be so cold-blooded?”

“What are you talking about?”

“That guy Qi is going to kill his wife and children. You guys are just watching and not doing anything about it. Those are small kids, how can you just watch them get killed?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, but what does Qi family’s business have to do with you?”

Gu Yuanzhou was very calm, he even poured a cup of hot tea for me.

“Sit down, let’s get down to business!”

But my heart is filled with distress for the mother-daughter trio, it’s hard for me to calm down.

“You said, Ye Mengyan is pregnant? Are you trying to trick me?”

Did he just change the topic back to Ye Mengyan again?

I looked at him sarcastically,

“Gu Yuanzhou… stop pretending! In front of me, you have no secrets, I can see clearly. In fact, you are just like Qi Ming…”

“What nonsense are you talking about?”

“Is it? Wouldn’t you already know that Ye Mengyan is pregnant?”

I looked at him sarcastically.

I found that his acting skills were getting better and better.

He really put on a clueless expression.

Even a hint of anger.

“Bullshit, of course I don’t know, hand her over, I want to talk to her!”

“What are you going to talk about? Isn’t the baby yours?”

“Fine, I agree to all the conditions you mentioned, Ye Mengyan for Song Zexi and his mother. But I can’t give you the Song family mansion! Song Shixiong mortgaged it to me, and since I didn’t receive payment, I’m certainly not returning the house.”

“Gu Yuanzhou, Ye Mengyan is pregnant. Isn’t the child in her belly worth that house? If you care about her, you should return the house to the Song family.”

I argued adamantly, but in truth, I wanted more.

I thought Ye Mengyan would be a valuable bargaining chip, and I wanted to get more from Gu Yuanzhou.

Unfortunately, I guessed wrong.

Gu Yuanzhou held his ground stubbornly.

In the end, he even threatened me,

“If you don’t agree, so be it.”

I realized he was confidently taking a nonchalant approach because he knew I didn’t have the heart to harm Ye Mengyan.

To be honest, I am not as ruthless as him. I may despise Ye Mengyan, but I cannot harm a person who is about to become a mother. I can’t do it.

“Alright, it’s a deal!”

I finally compromised.

“You can release Ye Mengyan now.”

“No way, you should release Song Zexi first…”

“You woman, you’re too cunning, always wanting the upper hand? Would compromising kill you?”

“If you don’t want Ye Mengyan to suffer, then you should compromise!”

I definitely won’t back down as Gu Yuanzhou is quite cunning.

What if I release Ye Mengyan, and he doesn’t release Song Zexi?

However, Gu Yuanzhou doesn’t seem willing to follow my lead, he always wants to be in control.

“Don’t try to play the sentimental card. Agree if you can, if not, just let it go…”

Just when I thought I could negotiate with him a little more.

Suddenly, my phone started ringing.

I looked down and saw it was a call from Song Zexi.

I answered the call and stepped aside.

“Mr. Song, where are you?”

“I’m on my way back to A City…”

“How’s your mother?”

“She’s fine, she just got a scare these past few days but she has recovered now.”

“Alright, I got it!”

Seeing Gu Yuanzhou beside me, I couldn’t say much more.

If I asked too many questions, I would reveal myself.

After hanging up the phone, I noticed Gu Yuanzhou was watching me.

“How’s it?”

“Fine, I’ll take you to Ye Mengyan!”

Given that Song Zexi and Wu Lijuan had returned safely, all I could do now was release Ye Mengyan.

“No rush. It’s raining hard tonight. Let’s do it tomorrow!”

I didn’t want to stay here, but with Liu Yu’s situation unresolved, I agreed to wait until tomorrow to decide.

“Alright!”

The bedroom is indeed very cozy.

Wooden flooring, fully furnished, and there’s a sofa by the window.

A round bed…

It’s quite warm and romantic, perfect for a getaway.

These people know how to enjoy life, building a villa on top of this mountain. Not only does it serve as a secret base, it’s also a place for clandestine dates.

I wonder, has he invited Ye Mengyan, or any other woman, here countless times?

Nevermind, I can’t think about this!

Pressing my fingers against my temples.

I walked to the window again, opened it, and peered out, wanting to see if I could spot Liu Yu and her daughter on the slope.
