Chapter 1022: Chapter 19:

"Hmm." Gu Xiaoning tried to struggle, but the rope was tied too tightly, and she couldn’t break free.

What to do? Just sit and wait to die like this? But she couldn’t figure out anything, and she couldn’t run away.

Being anxious was useless. The car rocked back and forth, not knowing how long it had been driving, it finally stopped. As it stopped, it wasn’t very stable, and Gu Xiaoning lurched forward, hitting her head painfully. She grimaced, showing her teeth, when suddenly, the trunk door opened... a strong light shined in.

Gu Xiaoning instinctively closed her eyes as someone climbed up.

Gu Xiaoning was pulled up, very rudely.

"Behave!"

Gu Xiaoning frowned, glaring at the person in front of her, "Who are you people? This is kidnapping, you’ll go to jail for this!"

"Humph!" The man, big and rough, had a fierce face, "Go to jail? Thank you! I’m really scared!"

He said, forcibly dragging Gu Xiaoning, "Move quickly!"

"Ah!"

Gu Xiaoning, with her hands tied, was directly dragged off the car and thrown to the ground, wincing in pain.

"Stop pretending to be weak! Whether you’re in pain or not, there’s no Ling Yu Master here, no one will care for you!"

Ling Yu Master? Care for?

Gu Xiaoning’s eyes darted around, finally understanding something. These people thought she was Ling Yu’s woman? So, everything she suffered was related to Ling Yu? But, where was she... Looking far ahead, she saw golden... desert?

It seemed what Le Zhengsheng said was true, what Ling Yu was doing now was indeed dangerous...

"Move quickly!"

No time to think deeply, Gu Xiaoning was already pushed into a sedan.

Observing the scenery along the way, Gu Xiaoning guessed they were heading to the Chinese community.

Soon enough, the car made several turns and entered a secluded courtyard.

"Get out!"

The people were almost savage, and Gu Xiaoning was roughly pulled out.

Gu Xiaoning was not one to easily accept things, she snarled with a frown, "Take it easy! I can walk by myself!"

"Oh, still so arrogant? Let’s see if you can still be this arrogant later!"

Pushed hard, "Walk!"

In the courtyard, it was truly quiet, the greenery was well-maintained, those trees seemed to have some age.

But why did they bring her here?

Entering the living room, Gu Xiaoning stood in the center.

After such a journey, she looked a bit haggard, her long hair tied at the back of her head, strands of hair disheveled along her temples.

"Cough cough."

Someone coughed.

Gu Xiaoning raised her head, alertly surveying her surroundings, only then noticing directly ahead, in the archway, a person was sitting in a wheelchair.

This person was very fair-skinned, with prominent features, but... a wheelchair? He couldn’t walk?

"Cough cough." The man pressed a button on the wheelchair and approached, stopping in front of Gu Xiaoning.

"..." Gu Xiaoning frowned, recalling the reason they had brought her here. She raised her head and spoke directly, "Ling Yu and I are just in an employment relationship, I’m not his woman at all. If you want to use me for some purpose, I advise you to abandon that thought! To Ling Yu, I’m not that valuable."

The man was silent for a moment, gently tapping his fingers on the armrest.

"Ling Yu, who’s that?"

"?" Gu Xiaoning was astonished, "What? You don’t know Ling Yu? Then why did you capture me?"

The man laughed, "Miss, you misunderstood. I invited you here not because of Ling Yu..."

He paused, continuing, "But because I want to marry you."

"..."

Gu Xiaoning’s mind went blank for a moment, in disbelief, "What did you say? I didn’t hear clearly."

The man smiled faintly but did not repeat, "You heard clearly, no need for me to repeat."

Gu Xiaoning grew anxious, "No, who are you? You’re so unreasonable..."

The man did not explain further, raising his hand, "Take her down to rest, take good care of her."

"Yes."

Gu Xiaoning was restrained, "Hey, who are you? Can you say something? This is illegal!"

"Illegal?" The man laughed, "Don’t worry, when I marry you, I’ll naturally handle the legal formalities."

"..."

Gu Xiaoning was stunned. Is that what she meant? A madman! Did she meet such a madman?

——

Ling Yu received the news, "Sorry, things on my side have been cleared up, it’s not the Ling Family’s people! They planned to act, but... didn’t get the chance!"

"What?" Le Zhengsheng’s mind grew hot with blood, he suddenly became disoriented.

He rarely became this flustered, but since it concerned Gu Xiaoning, he lost some control.

Not targeting the Ling Family? Originally thinking it would be fine as long as they clarified Gu Xiaoning was with him, but now seeing it, the situation seemed complex.

If it wasn’t the Ling Family moving, then...

Who could it be?

Gu Xiaoning hadn’t offended anyone! It couldn’t be because of him, they’d been divorced for so long! Although in these years, he hadn’t been without enemies.

"Jingqing!"

"Yes!"

Le Zhengsheng immediately instructed Liao Jingqing, "Check the situation on the day of departure... they’re taking Ningning, they wouldn’t dare be bold!"

"Yes!" Liao Jingqing nodded deeply, knowing what to do without Le Zhengsheng’s instructions.

Time ticked by, Le Zhengsheng was on pins and needles.

...

"Director."

Liao Jingqing returned, hastily.

Le Zhengsheng stood up abruptly, "How is it?"

Liao Jingqing nodded, "There’s news."

"Let’s go!"

"Yes!"

On the way, Le Zhengsheng asked for details.

"D City Chinese community?" Le Zhengsheng wondered, "Did we have a conflict there?"

Liao Jingqing shook his head, "Subordinate doesn’t know the reason, but... Miss Gu Xiaoning indeed went there."

"Hmm." Le Zhengsheng frowned, many questions baffling him.

Logically, in the economic arena of Guan Chao, he must have offended people, and they were all wealthy...

But those who would know Gu Xiaoning mattered greatly to him... wouldn’t be many.

So, who could it be? Who would target Gu Xiaoning?

He held Gu Xiaoning’s phone in his hand, he couldn’t help but open it... he had already cracked the password.

Looking through it, Le Zhengsheng’s mood grew cheerful.

Gu Xiaoning, the girl, what did she mean by no longer contacting him? Clearly, her heart was filled with him!

In the album, either their photos together or candid shots of him alone, even in WeChat, all other messages were cleared, only his were preserved.

Clearly, she liked him, liked him to death!

Isn’t it true? Yes, it is! That’s it! Gu Xiaoning was locked in the room, no matter how she yelled, it was futile.

"Huff..." Gu Xiaoning sat on the sofa, frustratedly looking around.

Marry her? Get married? Gu Xiaoning seriously suspected, had she not encountered some lunatic? Or had she been kidnapped by traffickers to be sold?

Wait a minute, that person was a cripple... a cripple. Annoyed, she lay on the bed, racking her brain but finding no solution.

And so a day passed...

A slight noise came from the door, it was pushed open... Gu Xiaoning immediately sat up.

The man came in, the man pushing the wheelchair.
