Chapter 81

An hour later, he parked the car and got out.

“Young Master…” The bodyguard stationed at the abandoned building respectfully greeted Jiang Che as he arrived.

“Hmm… How is she?” Jiang Che lit a cigarette, curiously asking the bodyguard about Gu Yunxi.

“Miss Gu has been very emotionally unstable these past few days, sometimes crying inexplicably and refusing to eat.” The bodyguard answered truthfully.

Jiang Che wasn’t surprised by this response. After all, a pampered rich girl suddenly kidnapped would naturally be emotionally unstable.

“Tell the others to withdraw. You don’t need to worry about this place anymore.” After instructing, Jiang Che headed straight to the third floor.

…………

On the third floor, in a certain room. Gu Yunxi was huddled in a corner, her face full of a wronged expression.She had been kidnapped for several days now. Although the kidnappers hadn’t done anything to her, she was still frightened.

Ever since “Ye Chen” brought her here, that man hadn’t shown up again, causing her to panic.

Jiang Che opened the door and immediately saw Gu Yunxi trembling in the corner. Observing her shaking shoulders, Jiang Che chuckled to himself, realizing that the past few days had greatly affected the young girl.

After all, she was just a high school senior who had never encountered such an ordeal.

“Who are you?” Seeing Jiang Che enter, Gu Yunxi shrank further into the corner, looking at him fearfully, her small feet wrapped in white socks trembling.

Although the man before her was handsome, Gu Yunxi couldn’t be sure if he was in league with the kidnappers.

“I’m here on your sister’s behalf to rescue you. I’ve driven away the bad guys.” Jiang Che approached Gu Yunxi, smiling. The little girl had indeed lost a lot of weight over these days.

“Really?” Gu Yunxi’s face lit up with excitement, her expression becoming animated. Had she finally endured through her ordeal?

“Of course, it’s true… So, little girl, come with me now…” Jiang Che said with a smile, stepping out of the room. He waited for a while, only to find Gu Yunxi still leaning against the corner, not moving.

“Why aren’t you coming with me?” Jiang Che looked at Gu Yunxi, puzzled. Did the girl still not believe him?

“I…I haven’t eaten for several days, I don’t have the strength to walk…” Gu Yunxi said shyly. These past days, she had been too frightened and anxious to eat, worried about the kidnappers possibly drugging her food.

Understanding dawned on Jiang Che. No wonder her complexion was so poor; she was starving. Jiang Che walked over to Gu Yunxi and without a word, scooped her up in his arms.

“Ah~” Gu Yunxi was stunned, her face flushing even redder, her ears turning red as well. She had never been this close to a man in her eighteen years.

Her eyes sneaked glances at Jiang Che’s handsome profile, her heart pounding erratically. “This brother is so handsome~ Way more handsome than those guys in school who claim to be the most attractive.”

And so, Jiang Che carried the young girl down the stairs without any obstacles.

…………

Jiang Che placed the young girl beside his Bugatti, then got into the driver’s seat, ignited the engine, and sped away. The Bugatti raced down the road towards the Gu family’s direction, bringing an end to Jiang Che’s self-directed and self-performed drama.

Throughout the journey, Gu Yunxi occasionally glanced at Jiang Che, quickly turning her head away when he noticed.

“Do I have something on my face?” Jiang Che asked with a chuckle.

“Thank you for rescuing me, brother…Can you tell me your name?” Gu Yunxi didn’t respond to Jiang Che’s question but instead asked curiously. Now that she was sure Jiang Che wasn’t a bad person, she wasn’t as scared as before.

“My name is Jiang Che… The Jiang meaning river, and the Che meaning clear.”

“Jiang Che… what a nice name.” Gu Yunxi murmured, smiling cheerfully. Handsome guys always have nice names! “Brother, are you a friend of my sister’s?”

“Sort of, I made a deal with her.” Jiang Che replied playfully.

Gu Yunxi nodded, not probing further. Throughout the journey, the young girl kept asking various questions, chattering like a bird.

Jiang Che found it amusing and occasionally responded.

“So, brother, you are a student at Linjiang University, right? I heard it’s hard to get in.”

“So you are the young master of the Jiang family…”

…

At the entrance of the Gu family mansion, Jiang Che parked his car and walked in with Gu Yunxi. The security guard, noticing the return of the second young miss, quickly rushed into the living room to report to Gu Zhengde.

“Master, the second young miss has returned!”

In the living room, Gu Zhengde paced back and forth, his face etched with worry, clearly concerned about Gu Yunxi. Gu Yunqi sat on the sofa, her face also filled with anxiety.

Despite having asked Jiang Che for help in finding Gu Yunxi, she remained unsure in her heart.

Upon hearing the security guard’s words, Gu Zhengde’s face lit up with excitement. “She’s back? Where is she?”

As he spoke, Jiang Che walked in with Gu Yunxi.

“Mr. Gu, Miss Gu has been rescued by me.” Jiang Che smiled faintly at Gu Zhengde. These past few days without Gu Yunxi, the old man had looked quite haggard.

“Daddy.” Seeing her family again, Gu Yunxi couldn’t hold back her tears anymore and burst into crying as she flung herself into Gu Zhengde’s arms. All the fear and grievances of the past days erupted at once.

“My dear daughter… it’s alright now, don’t cry…” Gu Zhengde patted her head tenderly, relieved that Gu Yunxi was safe. He would have been guilt-ridden for life if anything had happened to her.

“Thank you, Young Master Jiang…”

“Your great kindness will never be forgotten by me, Gu Zhengde. If there is ever a need for the Gu family, I will not hesitate.” Gu Zhengde thanked Jiang Che sincerely.

“Mr. Gu is too serious, Gu Yunqi and I are friends, and we had a deal.” Jiang Che said, glancing playfully at Gu Yunqi.

Gu Zhengde nodded, not asking further, though slightly puzzled.

Gu Yunqi, however, was bemused, not expecting Jiang Che to act so swiftly. She had only spoken to him about it last night, and by this afternoon, he had already returned with her sister.

She had used all of the Gu family’s connections without success, yet Jiang Che had rescued her in less than a day.

The more she thought about it, the more a chill ran down her spine at the power of the Jiang family in Linjiang City.

If she knew that this was all a drama directed by Jiang Che from start to finish what would reaction be…

…

“Young Master Jiang, please stay for dinner tonight.” Gu Zhengde invited Jiang Che, seeing the darkening sky outside. It was the least he could do to properly thank the man who had saved his daughter.

“I shall accept your kind offer then.” Jiang Che smiled and didn’t refuse Gu Zhengde’s hospitality, not wanting to offend him. Gu Zhengde instructed the servants, who quickly got busy preparing the meal.

“Thank you…” Gu Yunqi approached Jiang Che, smiling coquettishly.

“No need to thank me. Just don’t forget your promise,” Jiang Che replied with a raised eyebrow, his gaze playful.

“Promise? You must be mistaken, Master Jiang. I don’t recall promising you anything.” Gu Yunqi feigned ignorance, playing dumb.

“Miss Gu, you wouldn’t want your sister to be left homeless, right?” Jiang Che leaned in close to whisper in her ear, his threat implicit.

“You… you’re shameless!” Gu Yunqi bit her lip angrily, any budding positive feelings for Jiang Che instantly evaporating. Jiang Che was indeed no good!

“Thank you for the compliment, Miss Gu. When will you fulfill your promise?” Jiang Che pressed on.

Gu Yunqi’s face struggled, regretting her initial agreement with Jiang Che. If she didn’t honor her promise, she feared Jiang Che might indeed harm her. After all, he was no good man and capable of carrying out his threats.

“Come with me…” Gu Yunqi glanced at Jiang Che and headed upstairs, with him following closely behind.
