Night Fire Lingering

Chapter 106 Kneel down and I'll let her go!

Zheng Wenguang said viciously, "My dad is willing to reconcile, isn't it just because Gu Yanci spoke up? He made me lose an eye for no reason, I'll make him taste what it's like to lose his wife!"

However, the reason Gu Yanci would ask the Zheng family to have a private conversation was ultimately because of her.

The car drove deep into the dense forest, and after an unknown amount of time, it stopped.

As soon as the car stopped, Wen Yan immediately went to open the car door.

Zheng Wenguang watched Wen Yan's actions with a grin, as if he were watching something amusing.

Wen Yan realized that he had deliberately locked the car doors and stopped.

Zheng Wenguang took a bundle of rope and ordered Wen Yan, "Give me your hand!"

Wen Yan looked at him warily, remaining motionless.

Zheng Wenguang immediately stopped smiling, opened the car door and got out, then went around to the back seat and opened the door, trying to forcibly tie Wen Yan up.

He had barely begun to act when he suddenly changed his mind.

Zheng Wenguang stroked Wen Yan's pretty face: "Wen Yan, let's talk. If you take good care of me, I won't tie you up, how about it?"

"You like me that much?" Wen Yan chuckled.

Zheng Wenguang was stunned by the smile and, as if possessed, leaned half his body inside.

Wen Yan seized the opportunity and kicked hard!

Zheng Wenguang was suddenly thrown backward and fell to the ground.

Wen Yan seized the opportunity, jumped out of the car, and ran away!

"You bitch, stop right there!"

Zheng Wenguang's roar startled the birds in the forest.

Wen Yan ignored him and moved even faster.

Zheng Wenguang sneered as he pulled a tranquilizer gun from the trunk and aimed it—

"call out--!"

Wen Yan felt a sudden pain in her right leg, then lost consciousness and became uncontrollable, falling to the ground due to inertia.

Before she could struggle to get up, Zheng Wenguang had already walked over.

My feet rustled as I stepped on the fallen leaves.

Zheng Wenguang grabbed Wen Yan's hair and pulled it up without any mercy!

"Luckily I was prepared. Wen Muzhi was right, you're damn cunning!"

"Wen Muzhi?" Wen Yan's eyes widened in shock.

Zheng Wenguang ignored what Wen Yan was saying and angrily slapped her as a lesson for her earlier escape.

His mechanical, unrelated eyeball appeared even more ferocious and terrifying under his malicious smile, threatening, "Wen Yan, if you dare to run again, I'll break your legs!"

Having learned his lesson, Zheng Wenguang immediately tied Wen Yan's hands and feet.

The wound on her wrist hadn't healed yet, and Wen Yan felt a stinging pain from the wound being bound.

-

A thorough search throughout the night yielded no results.

Gu Yanci's aura was frighteningly low, his emotions were extremely tense, and his face was expressionless, making people realize that his habitually smiling appearance was just a hypocritical mask.

Suddenly, Gu Yanci received a text message, and his pupils trembled slightly.

Text message: [Prepare a box of gold bars and one million US dollars, and go to North Mountain alone. No police or bodyguards allowed. If there's even one extra person, I'll rape and kill her!]

It's self-evident who this 'she' is.

The next second, another photo was received—in the photo, Wen Yan's eyes were closed, her hands and feet were tied, her clothes were messy, revealing a large area of ​​snow-white skin, and there was a handprint on her face!

That person hit her?!

“President Gu, don’t go alone, it’s not safe!” Zhou Qi said. “We’ll follow you quietly, we won’t be discovered.”

"Stay still!"

He couldn't risk Wen Yan's safety in the slightest!

-

A small wooden cabin deep in the forest.

For more than ten hours, Wen Yan had not eaten or drunk anything, and her whole body was cold and weak.

Her body was stiff from being bound, probably because the scabs on her wounds had reopened, and fresh blood had soaked through the gauze on her wrists again. However, the pain had subsided, and she was numb.

Fortunately, the wound had healed inside, and the bleeding from the skin and flesh was not enough to cause her to bleed to death.

Zheng Wenguang squatted down beside him, smoking and exhaling smoke, looking blissful and excited.

That smoke wasn't ordinary smoke; it was laced with poison.

suddenly!

Zheng Wenguang picked up the gun and loaded it.

The ground outside was covered with fallen leaves, and footsteps could be heard treading on them, getting closer and closer.

Zheng Wenguang pressed the muzzle of the gun against Wen Yan's head, watching the door warily.

A tall, imposing man carrying two safes came into view.

His face was extremely grim, and when he saw Wen Yan being pointed at by a gun, his expression became even more unpleasant.

Gu Yanci has arrived...

Wen Yan's eyes widened in astonishment.

It was unexpected, but not entirely unexpected.

She seemed to subconsciously believe that he would come to save her.

"It's you!" Gu Yanci was very surprised.

He never imagined that Zheng Wenguang, the most irresponsible member of the Zheng family, would dare to kidnap his woman!

"I've brought both gold and US dollars." Gu Yanci's eyes were gloomy as he opened two boxes to show Zheng Wenguang.

Zheng Wenguang installed surveillance cameras outside and, after confirming that no one had come with Gu Yanci, laughed triumphantly.

"Gu Yanci, aren't you so great? Aren't you so awesome? Now you still have to listen to me, don't you?" Zheng Wenguang suddenly grabbed Wen Yan's clothes and tore them open!

Amidst the sound of tearing silk, the woman's skin was dazzlingly white.

Wen Yan wanted to speak, but the prolonged dehydration and blood loss made it difficult for her to open her mouth.

She stared at the man outside the cabin like a numb puppet.

Gu Yanci's face darkened: "Don't touch her!"

Zheng Wenguang's hand landed on Wen Yan's snow-white shoulder, deliberately stroking it: "Gu Yanci, I forgot to tell you, your woman has already been slept with by me! This feeling is truly unforgettable! Do you know why I called you here? I'm going to cuckold you right in front of you!"

Wen Yan then understood why Zheng Wenguang had chosen not to touch her before.

He was waiting for Gu Yanci!

This madman wants to seek thrills right in front of Gu Yanci!

"I've already brought the money, why aren't you releasing her?" Gu Yanci noticed the blood on Wen Yan's wrist.

"Let me release her? Of course!" Zheng Wenguang grinned maliciously, pointing to the ground beneath his feet. "Gu Yanci, kneel down! Kneel down and beg me, and I'll release her!"

Wen Yan stared in shock, turned her head, and looked at Zheng Wenguang with the eyes of someone looking at a lunatic.

Seeing that Gu Yanci didn't move, Zheng Wenguang suddenly thought of something good!

He pulled a packet of powder from his pocket and said frantically, "Wen Yan, try this good stuff!"

Wen Yan realized what it was, and her feigned calm crumbled in an instant, shaking her head in horror.

Once you get this stuff on you, your life is ruined!

"It's good stuff! Have some!" Zheng Wenguang put the powder into Wen Yan's mouth and nose.

Wen Yan shook her head and refused.

"Don't touch her!" Gu Yanci knelt down without hesitation, his knees making a screeching sound on the ground.

Wen Yan's entire body seemed to freeze at that moment, and she managed to squeeze out a single word: "No—"

The word "want" was completely drowned out by Zheng Wenguang's loud, boisterous laughter.

"Hahahaha! The dignified head of the Gu family kneels before me! Hahahaha! Those people should really see what kind of bastard they usually fawn over!"

Wen Yan gritted her teeth, her eyes involuntarily reddening.

Although Gu Yanci was kneeling, his aura actually overwhelmed Zheng Wenguang.

Zheng Wenguang sensed it too, and became annoyed, suddenly turning his gun on Zheng Wenguang!

"boom!"

The bullet left the barrel and struck Gu Yanci squarely in the thigh.

Blood splattered everywhere. The man was in so much pain that his body swayed involuntarily, and he almost fell over, but he managed to hold himself up.

"Gu Yanci!"

Wen Yan's voice cracked, a sharp pain shooting through her throat.

Zheng Wenguang tapped Wen Yan's face with the tip of his gun and asked Gu Yanci in confusion, "Didn't you say you were going to divorce Wen Yan? Why do you care about her so much?"

"I have never admitted to divorcing her," Gu Yanci said bluntly.

Wen Yan's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Then come in kneeling!" Zheng Wenguang was obsessed with humiliating people, as if he wanted to get revenge for all the people who had been suppressed in the past.

"No..." Wen Yan squeezed out a word and shook her head in refusal.

She didn't want to see Gu Yanci like this.

Gu Yanci seemed not to see her signal or hear her voice, and continued crawling forward on his knees.

Fresh blood kept flowing out of the wound on his left leg, and the more he moved, the faster the blood flowed.

The man's face grew paler and paler, and the pain caused his forehead to be covered in cold sweat.

Their eyes met, and Wen Yan felt so heartbroken that she could hardly breathe. Her vision gradually blurred, as if covered by a layer of moisture.

“Gu…Yan…Ci…”

She opened her mouth to cough, silently calling his name.

Wen Yan tried to open her eyes wide to see his face clearly, but the more she tried, the more watery her eyes became.

"Hahahaha! Gu Yanci, you've finally become a lapdog!" Zheng Wenguang was extremely smug, glancing at Wen Yan's face out of the corner of his eye.

He grabbed Wen Yan's chin and lowered his head to kiss her in front of Gu Yanci!

He relaxed his guard, and this movement caused the gun to veer away from Wen Yan's head. The surge of adrenaline caused Wen Yan's body functions to explode.

Wen Yan seized the opportunity and bumped into Zheng Wenguang, knocking him off balance!

At the same time, he thrust his body upwards and his already cold and numb hand quickly snatched the gun from Zheng Wenguang's hand!

With his hands bound, only his fingers could move. Wen Yan seized the opportunity to fire a shot, and the bullet slid past Zheng Wenguang's arm!

As Zheng Wenguang dodged the gun, Wen Yan took the opportunity to throw the gun towards Gu Yanci!

"Stinky bitch!"

Zheng Wenguang was furious and kicked Wen Yan. Almost at the same moment, another gunshot rang out!

Gu Yanci quickly snatched Zheng Wenguang's gun, "Bang—!"

The bullet pierced Zheng Wenguang's lower back, blood gushing out, and he collapsed to the ground in agony.

"Wen Yan!"

Despite his leg injury, Gu Yanci rushed into the cabin to help Wen Yan.

Upon seeing this, a strange smile suddenly bloomed on Zheng Wenguang's face.

"You think I want money?" Zheng Wenguang said. "I want you all to die together!"

He pressed a button, accepted his death, lay on the ground, and looked triumphantly at Wen Yan and Gu Yanci.

"Drip! Drop! Drop—"

The piercing countdown sound sent chills down my spine.

"Come on!"

Wen Yan pushed Gu Yanci hard.

The bomb hidden in a secret spot by the cabin's door is entering its countdown phase.

"3!"

"2!"

The cabin has a single window, outside which are cliffs and a rushing river.

Gu Yanci picked up Wen Yan and jumped without hesitation!

"Bam—!"

The shockwave brought a heat wave that almost burned people's nerves.

Before Wen Yan could react, she was plunged into icy water during her rapid fall, and the intense impact caused her weakened body to quickly lose consciousness.

-

When Wen Yan's thoughts returned, it was already pitch black all around.

She lay on the grass, soaking wet and shivering with cold.

He could move his hands and feet again. The bindings were removed, and the stinging pain in his hands was obvious. The original gauze was removed and replaced with new bandages.

Wen Yan was stunned for two seconds, and the scene before she fainted quickly entered her mind.

explode……

escape……

Falling into the water...

Gu Yanci... Where is Gu Yanci?!

She anxiously looked around and saw a dark shadow about a meter away.

The tall man was lying diagonally on the ground.

Wen Yan crawled over and, through the moonlight, saw that Gu Yanci had his eyes closed and was unconscious.

"Gu Yanci! Gu Yanci, wake up!"

Ignoring the pain in her wrist, Wen Yan struggled to turn him over and touched a warm, wet patch.

It's blood on my leg!

Wen Yan's fingertips trembled, but she forced herself to calm down quickly.

"Gu Yanci!"

Wen Yan pressed her hand against the injury on his leg, her voice trembling as she called for help.

He was the only one who could untie her hands, and he was also responsible for the new bandages, which he probably prepared in advance. The new bandages were sealed, so they didn't get wet.

Why didn't he treat his own wound first?

His injury is clearly so serious!

With difficulty, Wen Yan untied the new bandage from her wrist and, in the dim light, wrapped it around the wound on Gu Yanci's leg.

The man's body was heavy, and Wen Yan had no strength in her hands, making every movement difficult.

Suddenly, a large hand pressed down on her hand.

"What?"

The man's voice was deep and hoarse, unable to conceal his weakness.

As Wen Yan looked up, the tears she had been holding back suddenly burst forth.

A teardrop reflected light for a fleeting moment in the moonlight, striking Gu Yanci's heart.

"Your hand injury hasn't healed yet, don't move around." Gu Yanci held her hand. "Does it hurt a lot?"

He thought she was crying from pain.

She was spoiled as a child, and would even throw a tantrum when getting injections.

"Why?" After falling into the river and choking on water, Wen Yan's dry throat actually felt a little better.

She asked, "Why do this?"

"What?" Gu Yanci touched her hair and asked patiently.

Wen Yan looked up at him, a pang of heartache shooting through her: "Gu Yanci, you treat your wife... very well."

They paid the ransom and... knelt down.

She couldn't bring herself to say those words.

She felt that Gu Yanci was being humiliated!

What a proud man he was!

The wind in the woods carried away the woman's voice.

Gu Yanci stared at Wen Yan for a long time, seemingly letting out a silent sigh.

"Wen Zhizhi, I'm not being nice to my wife, I'm being nice to you."

And you, just so happens to be my wife.
