CHAPTER 1141: CHAPTER 1137: TUMULTUOUS UPHEAVAL

The elixir had barely been swallowed for a few seconds when suddenly everyone’s stomachs started making gurgling noises... like something was churning wildly inside.

Immediately after, their bodies contracted sharply! A strong sensation swept over them.

The martial arts master who took the elixir first reacted the fastest, dashing into the bathroom with a swish!

Following that, the bathroom sounded like a volcano had erupted, emitting various noises.

The first expert to rush in felt immediate relief after a swift eruption.

However, the three outside were in a dire situation.

They reacted a step too late and missed out on the restroom, that overwhelming urge couldn’t be delayed for even a second.

Any delay felt like they couldn’t hold it in anymore...

But there was only one toilet in the room, so they just had to endure, waiting for the person to come out.

"Chen Yang! I just knew you wouldn’t be so kind-hearted! You wouldn’t let us off so easily! But this is really too much!"

Gu Hongwei clamped his legs tightly, forcibly holding back.

Meanwhile, he kept cursing Chen Yang, his eyes filled with resentment as if there was some deep-seated hatred.

...

After leaving the room, Chen Yang immediately took Xiaocui, got in the elevator, and went downstairs, leaving the karaoke bar to return to the car.

Back in the car, Xiaocui softly asked Chen Yang who those people were just now, and why they all seemed to have varying degrees of injuries.

Faced with Xiaocui’s curious inquiry, Chen Yang chose not to hide anything and told her the truth.

He also recapped the entire day’s events for her.

After hearing the whole story, Xiaocui understood.

It turns out those people participated in her kidnapping. Thinking about it, her sense of sympathy vanished.

It was replaced by joy and happiness!

She had witnessed everything Chen Yang did today, and at this moment, she truly felt that she was important to him.

Very important...

Xiaocui was instantly enveloped by warmth and affection, her hand unconsciously reaching out to grasp Chen Yang’s hand on the gear stick...

Chen Yang noticed this, paused for a moment, then smiled.

Unexpectedly, today’s kidnapping incident turned out to be a blessing in disguise.

It not only made Gu Xuanyu promise not to target those around him anymore but also brought him and Xiaocui closer together.

The two held hands tightly until they got home.

After parking in the yard, Chen Yang went upstairs with Xiaocui.

At home, the old man and Xiaocui’s mother were eagerly awaiting their return, and seeing them come back safely, they were very emotional.

Tears welled up in their eyes.

Xiaocui’s mother hugged Xiaocui tightly, exclaiming, "Cuicui, you had your mother worried sick. If anything happened to you, how could I live?"

Xiaocui’s mother was very emotional, holding Xiaocui and crying.

The old man was also emotional and happy, but he didn’t cry like Xiaocui’s mother.

Instead, he wore a broad smile.

"Alright, woman, Xiaocui’s come back safe and sound, no need for tears." the old man gently chided Xiaocui’s mother, then turned to Chen Yang, "Boss Chen, come in, let’s talk inside. Today’s events were so sudden."

The old man invited Chen Yang and Xiaocui inside.

Chen Yang didn’t stand on ceremony, and entered the house with them, then settled down on the sofa like family to discuss the day’s events.

The old man and Xiaocui’s mother first inquired how Chen Yang rescued Xiaocui.

Chen Yang didn’t hide anything from them either, and honestly recounted today’s events.

He only glossed over a few inconvenient details, but over ninety percent of his story was true.

After listening, Xiaocui’s mother and the old man were astonished.

They never imagined it to be so dangerous, and that the other party’s status was so high.

They were just ordinary folks, how could they offend the mighty Gu Family?

If the Gu Family could come to kidnap someone today, what about next time? Could they break in again, and then...

Thinking of these things, Xiaocui’s mother and the old man immediately began to worry.

"Old man, you don’t need to worry about the future, I’ve already resolved it, they won’t bother you again." Chen Yang saw the concern in their eyes and spoke reassuringly.

"Re... really?" the old man was surprised.

"Really, there won’t be such things happening again, rest assured." Chen Yang nodded, earnestly assuring them it would never happen again.

"Yes, Dad, Brother Chen Yang has made it clear to them, they won’t trouble us anymore, the matter has been settled." Xiaocui chimed in to support Chen Yang.

She was present during Chen Yang’s negotiations with Gu Xuanyu and Gao Ya, so she understood these things.

The old man and Xiaocui’s mother finally felt relieved after hearing Chen Yang and Xiaocui’s words.

Then they sat together and chatted for a while, and seeing the hour getting late, the old man joyfully stood up.

"It’s getting late, you all keep chatting, I’ll go buy some groceries, so we can have a good meal tonight," the old man said happily.

He was in the best mood since Xiaocui returned safely, with no more reason to worry.

After saying that, he went to the kitchen, grabbed a basket, and went out to buy groceries.

Then Xiaocui’s mother also returned to her room for a nap.

Her body hadn’t fully recovered, and she was worried about Xiaocui and Chen Yang all day, naturally feeling exhausted.

Now that she could finally relax, she immediately felt the fatigue, and fell asleep soon as she entered her room.

Now, only Xiaocui and Chen Yang were left sitting on the sofa.

After today’s events, their relationship had become much closer.

However, being suddenly alone together was still a bit awkward.

"Uh... Xiaocui, have you come across any medical problems you don’t understand recently? We have time now, I can explain it to you," Chen Yang suggested a topic.

Xiaocui immediately nodded, indicating that she did.

Then she led Chen Yang to her room.

She told Chen Yang about the problems she encountered.

Upon hearing the questions, Chen Yang earnestly explained them to Xiaocui.

At first, everything was going in a proper direction.

Xiaocui would voice her questions, and Chen Yang, like a teacher, cleared up her doubts.

But given their relationship and being alone in a room, naturally, as there was some subtle physical contact, their mindset slowly began to change.

Their eyes suddenly met, and that electric sensation instantly ignited the flame.

Xiaocui wrapped her arms around Chen Yang’s neck, leaning up to kiss him.

Chen Yang also reached out, embraced Xiaocui, and they fell back onto the bed.

...

Almost an hour later, the intense heat in the room gradually subsided.

At this time, door-opening sounds came from outside.

It seemed the old man had returned.

"Brother Chen Yang... my dad is back," Xiaocui whispered softly, her cheeks still flushed, snuggling against Chen Yang.

Chen Yang nodded slightly, then got up with Xiaocui, putting on their clothes.
