Before Gu Qingcheng could tumble to the ground, strong hands reached out and pulled her into another car.
In the distance, inside a sleek black Bugatti, Huo Sicheng monitored Gu Qingchengâs location on his phone, his piercing gaze shifting between her and the unfolding scene.
His brows furrowed deeply, and his icy phoenix-like eyes mirrored his intense concern.
âYi Shui, ensure Madamâs safety.â
âYes, Young Master Huo,â Yi Shui, who was at the wheel, replied with utmost respect.
Back at Huo Corporation, Huo Sicheng remained fixated on Gu Qingchengâs whereabouts, his usually handsome visage now marked by an unusual coldness.
Chu Yu diligently presented his reports, but sensing President Huoâs distraction, he silently withdrew from the room.
Huo Sichengâs countenance remained stern as he watched Gu Qingcheng standing still for what felt like an eternity, before finally turning to gaze out the window at the setting sun.
âGu Qingcheng, you must come out of this unscathed, or I wonât forgive myself.â
Huo Sichengâs whispered plea resonated in the CEOâs office.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingcheng lay on a bed within a luxurious hotel owned by the Qin Corporation. Her hands and feet were securely bound, her ebony hair cascading gently onto the pristine white pillow.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
With closed eyes, her long, delicate lashes framed a slender, graceful nose, and her striking features resembled that of a celestial being. A captivating necklace adorned her slender neck, accentuating her ethereal beauty.
Lu Chi fixed his intense gaze on Gu Qingcheng, his eyes locked onto her form as if she were the sole focus of his existence.
Just then, the hotel room door swung open. Qin Jun, his sky-blue suit concealing the obvious bruises on his handsome face, entered the room, his eyes immediately drawn to Gu Qingcheng.
He momentarily stopped breathing, his gaze filled with awe.
Indeed, in the entirety of Jiang City, there was no woman as resplendent as Gu Qingcheng. Her beauty and accomplishments had consistently earned him praise and admiration as her boyfriend.
Every man who saw them together commended him for his impeccable taste, and he had become a role model among men for having won over Gu Qingcheng.
Conversely, every woman who encountered them couldnât help but compare their own beauty to Gu Qingchengâs. They resorted to various tactics to undermine her in front of him, and it was the envy of these women that had led him to engage in casual affairs with countless others.
Gu Qingcheng was beautiful, both inside and out. She radiated an aura of purity in her sleep, akin to an angelic child. When awake, she possessed a strength capable of moving mountains.
It was this stark duality that had briefly made him the talk of the town within Jiang Cityâs upper echelons.
Yet, it was Gu Qingcheng herself who had humiliated him at their engagement party. He had been shamed in high society, even suffering a beating from Gu Tianhao.
What vexed him most was her violent reaction when he had approached her with flowers at the Royal Dance. Though he hadnât managed to kiss her, word had spread of her intense altercation with Huo Sicheng.
While he had possessed her in the past, Gu Qingcheng had always kept a strict boundary between them. She refused his touch, insisting they wait until marriage.
As a man with physical desires, Gu Qingchengâs inaccessibility had led him to explore other avenues for satisfaction, engaging with women who willingly approached him.
Since their breakup, he had been consumed by thoughts of her, longing to experience her intimately.
Most importantly, he yearned to conquer her, to make her kneel before him like a subservient dog.
Over the days, she had repeatedly slapped him in the face, and what infuriated him further was her involvement in orchestrating a recent assault against him, leaving his face still bruised.
âYouâve done well; youâve successfully kidnapped her,â he remarked to the man responsible for abducting Gu Qingcheng, handing him a check from his pocket.
âHereâs two million yuan.â
Lu Chi, still present in the room, scrutinized Qin Jun and accepted the check.
âGet out,â Qin Jun ordered.
With that command, he turned his attention to the bound Gu Qingcheng, a triumphant grin spreading across his face.
âGu Qingcheng, oh Gu Qingcheng, youâve fallen into my hands,â he gloated. âMy uncle is a pitiable cripple who canât satisfy you as a man should. He canât provide you with the pleasures only a woman can offer. You married him and lived like a widow all this while.â
His excitement grew with each word. The satisfaction of conquering Gu Qingcheng was immeasurable.
âYouâve remained untouched by another man, but you were once mine, and you will be again. You belong only to me.â
As he continued to speak, his hand extended toward Gu Qingchengâs chest.
Lu Chi, still in the room, had been observing silently. When Qin Junâs hand approached Gu Qingcheng, his sharp eyes smoldered with rage.
âYoung Master Qin, your check is lacking a zero,â he interrupted. âThe eldest young master of the Qin family ordered the kidnapping of the eldest daughter of the Gu family, and yet he is so miserly.â
Qin Jun, with disdain in his gaze, reached for the check in Lu Chiâs hand. To his disbelief, there was indeed a missing zero.
âHow is this possible? I clearly wrote two million,â he protested.
âAre you unable to count?â Lu Chi taunted. âHow else could you fail to notice the missing zero?â
Qin Junâs face contorted with frustration at the mockery. It was only now that he truly observed the man before him.
Dressed in a sleek black trench coat, a scar marred the manâs face beneath his short black hair. Despite the scar, his handsome and commanding presence couldnât be ignored.
The scar triggered a memory â someone had once mentioned that Lu Chi, head of the Lu family, bore a facial scar from a past altercation.
No, it couldnât be.
As quickly as the thought emerged, he dismissed it. Lu Chi, the esteemed head of the Lu family, wouldnât stoop to kidnapping for a mere two million yuan.
He had clearly misidentified the individual.
âSilence!â He shot a venomous glare at the man. âI am the buyer, and the buyer is supreme. You dare to speak to me this way?
âSupreme?â Lu Chi smirked, his eyes now filled with a dangerous intent. âThere is no supremacy here, only the Lord of Hell, and I am that Lord!â
As Qin Jun saw the transformation in the manâs demeanor, he involuntarily took a step back.
âYouâ¦â Qin Jun stammered, fear creeping into his voice.. âWhat do you intend to do?â
