CHAPTER 298: CHAPTER 299: DON’T BE AFRAID, I’M HERE, RIGHT BY YOUR SIDE

She closed her eyes, seemingly asking him for help in her dreams.

Her small hand tightly grasped his shirt collar, her whole body curled up, constantly murmuring.

This helpless version of her was something Xing Chen had never seen before...

The impression of that carefree, never-defeated strong girl seemed completely shattered.

It was clear that before he arrived, Gu Beichuan had done something utterly beastly to her!

Looking at the scar at the corner of her eye, Xing Chen’s heart felt like it was being tightly gripped by an invisible hand, squeezing harder and harder...

The pain was so intense he could hardly breathe.

He didn’t know when it started, but she seemed to have blended into his very bones.

Any tiny fluctuation would cause such pain that it was unbearable!!

He held her in his arms, his voice almost choking, "Don’t be afraid, I’m here, right beside you..."

Perhaps hearing Xing Chen’s murmuring, Ran Xiangsi’s body finally stopped trembling.

Her emotions calmed down, and she fell asleep peacefully.

However, a stream of shimmering tears silently slipped from the corner of her eyes.

Tonight, her whole world was overturned.

Xing Chen saw the traces of tears at the corner of her eyes.

He leaned down and kissed away those drops of tears.

Salty, mixed with bitterness.

He held her tighter and called Ping’an.

"Investigate everything that happened tonight thoroughly. Freeze all Gu Family funds, and detain everyone! Let it be known that anyone continuing to collaborate with any company under the Gu Family will never become a partner of the Emperor in the future. Also, keep everyone’s mouth shut about tonight’s events; no one is to leak a single word!"

Ping’an on the other end understood that the young master was truly very, very angry this time...

"Yes, young master. And Gu Beichuan..."

"Isolate him, no one is allowed to visit!" Xing Chen squinted his eyes, gritting his teeth, "Until the truth is uncovered, don’t let him die."

"Yes!" Ping’an immediately started making arrangements.

This time, the Gu Family might... really vanish from A City.

Previously, Tan Xinjie only knocked Ran Xiangsi on the head, and his entire family disappeared overnight.

Now with Gu Beichuan causing such a big scene, it’s likely...

Ping’an’s efficiency was high; indeed, no one dared to speak about what happened tonight.

Anyone with a bit of sense wouldn’t dare to further anger Xing Chen at this moment.

As for Gu Beichuan...

He was naturally handed over to Yue Nanshan.

When it comes to interrogating prisoners, Yue Nanshan was the best.

Yue Nanshan had been a special agent in his younger years.

Back then, the people he interrogated were all rigorously trained agents.

Those people’s mouths were tight, right? But in front of Yue Nanshan, they would spill easily, let alone someone like Gu Beichuan who had never suffered?

Gu Beichuan was not taken to the interrogation room but was thrown into the storage room on the underground basement level one by Yue Nanshan.

Late at night, there wasn’t even a ghost shadow in the underground parking lot. Once the storage room was locked, even ghosts wouldn’t know what was happening inside.

Previously beaten badly by Xing Chen, he was already seriously injured.

Now Gu Beichuan looked dizzy, seeming to be out of his mind. Yue Nanshan directly had someone pour a bucket of cold water over him to wake him up a bit.

"Honestly recount the situation of how you took Ran Xiangsi away tonight, otherwise..."

"Pah!" Before Yue Nanshan finished his sentence, he was spat at by Gu Beichuan.
