Chapter 293: Chapter 293 I Still Barely Beat Him_1
About fifteen minutes ago, I saw Gu Yuanzhou drive off from the window.

But this man was so vile, he locked the main door when he left, so I couldn’t go outside.

As soon as I got my phone, of course, I immediately reached out to Ding Yinuo.

It took a long while before the call was answered.

“Yinuo, Ding Yinuo!”

I called out loudly.

But the voice that came through the phone wasn’t Ding Yinuo’s, it was Aunt Ding’s.

“Xiaosong, is that you?”

“Yes, it’s me, Aunt… Where’s Anuo, where’s Ding Yinuo? How is he?”

I couldn’t appropriately express my worries in front of Aunt Ding.

I just wanted to hear his voice right now.

However, suddenly a hand reached over, snatching the phone from my grasp before Aunt Ding could reply.

When I regained my bearings, the phone was already in Gu Yuanzhou’s possession.

“Give me the phone! Gu Yuanzhou!”

This man was just so elusive. He left, yet he inexplicably reappeared here out of nowhere.

It was impossible to guard against him.

The expression on Gu Yuanzhou’s face was cold as he threw the phone on the floor, smashing it into smithereens.

Then he coldly said to the nanny,

“Alright, you can leave now!”

“Mr. Gu, I’m sorry! I really am, it wasn’t intentional, it was Miss Song…”

“Enough, leave now, I will settle your pay. But in the future, I do not want to see you.”

In the end, no matter how much the nanny pleaded, Gu Yuanzhou did not compromise.

She could only gather her things and leave.

When I looked at Gu Yuanzhou, my face was equally as unsightly.

He turned to look at me.

“You want to see him that badly?”

“You have no right to confine me!”

“I didn’t confine you. You confined yourself. Give me the documents and you can leave! No one will stop you. But if you want to play tricks in front of me, I’m sorry, you won’t get anything.”

I have to say, Gu Yuanzhou really knows how to wear people down.

This man was too domineering, I knew that if this continued, he certainly wouldn’t compromise.

I couldn’t keep this up with him, I needed to see Ding Yinuo.

I didn’t even know if he’s dead or alive right now.

So I made a bold decision.

“Alright, Gu Yuanzhou, I agree! I’ll give you all the documents, but you have to let me go!”

“You should’ve done this a long time ago. Tell me, where are the documents?”

“No, I’ll take you to them!”

“You think you can trick me?”

Gu Yuanzhou seemed to have seen through my ruse. He stared at me, his face cold.

I shook my head.

“There’s no trick. It’s just that the place where I hid the documents is a bit peculiar. Even if I told you, you may not be able to find it. Besides, if you go alone, you could lie to me and say you didn’t get them. Wouldn’t I be at a disadvantage then?”

“You don’t trust me?”

“You’re the one who sent someone to hit me with a car. How could you expect me to trust you?”

I looked at him with contempt.

“Alright, let’s go.”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t want to waste any more time.

He led me out the door. Watching the long-locked front door open, I felt a rush of emotions.

Once outside, it seemed as if the air was filled with the scent of freedom.

I can’t believe I had been confined by Gu Yuanzhou for so many days.

Wenya must have been so anxious this past week.

After getting in the car, Gu Yuanzhou buckled my seat belt and gave me a deep look.

“You better not try to pull a fast one! You won’t stand a chance against me.”

“I know! You’re cold and ruthless, you’re decisive, alright?”

I actually didn’t have much energy.

Recovering from a long illness, I am still weak, and my steps feel a bit unsteady…

As the car slowly headed towards the city, I occasionally looked towards the side of the road, wondering if there happened to be a patrol officer around.

If I asked for his help, would I be able to escape from Gu Yuanzhou?

He seemed to see through my thought process, stating outright,

“Don’t bother with your futile plans! They’re useless! I have our marriage certificate! No one can take you away without my order.”

“Your marriage certificate is fake, as if anyone would believe it!”

Gu Yuanzhou just smiled, corners of his lips curling up, a smile of someone who is confident of victory.

Without me giving any directions, he directly drove to where Song Zexi had planned the press conference last time, the Baisheng Building.

“Here?”

He looked at me and asked.

“How did you know it’s here?”

“Last time, the briefcase you took had files inside. But later, when you handed Ayu the empty case, that implies you hid the documents somewhere here! I didn’t bother to check the surveillance step by step. It’s easier for you to show me.”

Gu Yuanzhou’s deduction once again startled me. I never knew this man could be so smart.

He is aware of everything, making calculated guesses.

He had complete control even over small details.

Deceiving him was certainly not easy.

“Alright, let’s go!”

Once I got off the car, he instantly stood next to me and very casually hooked my arm through his.

This intimate posture would make people feel as if we naturally had a close relationship.

Plus, I had a wound on my head.

So, while walking along the road, people were glancing our way and whispering amongst themselves.

“Look, that husband is so good. His wife is injured, yet he stays by her side, his arm firmly around her. That’s true love!”

Gu Yuanzhou didn’t bother to correct them.

And I just scoffed.

True Love?

If they knew that I ended up like this because he hit me, would they still think the same?

Once in the elevator, I didn’t push any buttons…

Gu Yuanzhou looked at me.

“Which floor?”

“Gu Yuanzhou, I need to use the restroom!”

“Which floor?”

“Can I use the restroom?”

“Get the documents first, then I’ll let you use the restroom.”

“It’s urgent! Don’t you know humans have bodily needs? I need to pee!!!”

“Then pee in the elevator. It’s not like anyone else is here!”

“You, you’re crossing the line!”

“If you’re not willing to pee in the elevator, that means it’s not that urgent!”

This man simply pressed the button to close the elevator doors.

The elevator doors slowly closed.

The elevator started going upward…

I didn’t make any move, but Gu Yuanzhou was patient. He remained by my side as we rode the elevator up and down.

I originally thought if I kept my mouth shut, he wouldn’t be able to do anything.

Unexpectedly, when the elevator went down to the thirteenth floor and the doors opened, he suddenly grabbed my arm and walked out.

“Is it here?”

“No!”

“It’s here…”

Gu Yuanzhou let go of my hand and began searching. I pulled him back, “It’s not here!”

We had actually been in the elevator for nearly ten minutes. I didn’t really know how he guessed it was this floor.

I just instinctively tried to stop him.
