"This time... this time we've dragged you into this," Shen Chenggang said, "But after this matter is resolved, would you... would you be willing to come home with me to see Mom?"
"You don't have to do anything, just see Mom, and let Mom see you," Shen Chenggang quickly explained, "We don't mean to ask you for money. We'll find a way to solve the money problem ourselves."
"We've never raised you, so we have no face to get close to you," Shen Chenggang said, "So when we found out that the child had been switched, and Su Yiqing had returned to the Su family, we didn't think about looking for you. Mom said that with our family in this state, bringing you back would be a burden on you."
"It's just... Mom is very sick, and if... if she could just see you, Mom would have one less thing to worry about," Shen Chenggang said cautiously.
"Okay," Shen Mianyin nodded, "If I can get out of here."
"I also want to see you guys," Shen Mianyin said, "I didn't go back because I thought no one was left at home."
It's all because of the lies Su Yiqing told.
"I know, I know. After hearing what you just said, I already guessed," Shen Chenggang said. "That's why I dared to ask you if you'd be willing to go back..."
"Have you finished reminiscing?" a cold voice said from outside.
"Since you've already brought Su Yiqing here, then let my sister go!" Shen Chenggang said.
Upon hearing this, Su Yiqing instantly became furious: "Shen Chenggang, are you even human! Now that I'm not your sister anymore, you're not protecting me, is that it?"
Shen Chenggang had also seen through Su Yiqing: "Originally, the money was all spent on you. If you had repaid it earlier, we wouldn't have come to this. This matter has nothing to do with Mianyin at all. She's the one who's been dragged into this. What's wrong with letting her go?"
After saying that, Shen Chenggang continued pleading with them, "Let my sister go, I'll stay here. You can do whatever you want with me. One hostage is enough."
"The Su family treasures Su Yiqing; they will definitely give you the money," Shen Chenggang said.
"We've already made the call; just wait," the scarred man said.
They called Su's mother.
As for Shen Mianyin, her phone didn't show any particularly close contacts.
So they looked at the most recent call logs, which showed Gu Huaizhi.
After receiving the call, Su's mother, completely lost and panicked, went to find Su's father and Gu Luo'an.
Gu Huaizhi immediately had people check the surveillance footage.
While sending money to the scarred man's account, Gu Huaizhi was also rushing to where Shen Mianyin was being held.
"The money for Shen Mianyin has already been paid," the scarred man said, checking the account. "Let her go."
"Since the money's already been paid, let me go too!" Su Yiqing quickly said. "Weren't you just after money? You've got the money. If you try to get more, you'll be committing kidnapping and extortion!"
The scarred man coldly snorted: "This time your cheap little sister really got off easy, didn't pay a single cent."
Shen Chenggang was filled with resentment, even wishing the scarred man would keep Su Yiqing locked up there and not let her go.
At this moment, outside the dilapidated factory entrance, Gu Luo'an's car screeched to a halt, the sound of the brakes echoing loudly.
He rushed in and asked in a deep voice, "Where is she?"
"The money has been repaid, you can take her and leave," the scarred man said.
Upon hearing Gu Luo'an's voice, Su Yiqing immediately shouted, "Brother Luo'an, I'm here! Brother Luo'an, save me, boo hoo hoo, I'm so scared, Brother Luo'an!"
Shen Mianyin also called out upon hearing Gu Luo'an's voice, "Gu Luo'an!"
She had been holding on until now. Now that she could finally leave, Shen Mianyin let out a sigh of relief, not caring about anything else, only hoping that Gu Luo'an wouldn't forget about her.
"Mianyin, you're here too?" Gu Luo'an said in surprise. He had thought only Su Yiqing was there.
"Gu Luo'an..." Shen Mianyin said weakly in the darkness, "Let me out..."
"Brother Luo'an, save me first, Brother Luo'an!" Su Yiqing cried, "I'm in so much pain, Brother Luo'an, I'm so scared."
Hearing Su Yiqing say she was in pain, Gu Luo'an then said, "Mianyin, please bear with it for a moment. I'll take Yiqing to the car first, and then I'll come back for you."
In the darkness, Shen Mianyin's heart grew increasingly desolate. She chuckled mockingly, "Gu Luo'an, what did I say? You've always prioritized Su Yiqing."
"Is she the only one who's scared? Is she really in pain?" Shen Mianyin let out a desolate sneer.
Su Yiqing's expression changed drastically in the next room, and she cried out, "Brother Luo'an, I'm in pain... Sister Shen, why would you say that..."
Shen Chenggang, still tied to the chair, had originally intended to urge the scarred man to untie him, but upon hearing this, he retorted coldly, "You're in pain? You sounded quite energetic when you were cursing just now. I couldn't tell you were sick at all."
Su Yiqing cried and said, "I'm not your real sister anymore, so you won't protect me anymore? Waaah..."
Gu Luo'an opened the door for Su Yiqing first and then called out to Shen Mianyin's room, "Mianyin, I'll be right back."
While holding Su Yiqing, he said to the scarred man and the others, "Open the door for her quickly!"
After saying this, he carried Su Yiqing outside while saying to Shen Mianyin, "Mianyin, I've already had someone open the door for you; wait a little longer!"
Gu Luo'an, carrying Su Yiqing, had just exited the factory and was about to put her into the car.
Suddenly, he saw Gu Huaizhi's car rushing straight towards them.
Gu Huaizhi braked at the last possible moment.
The front of his car heavily collided with the rear of Gu Luo'an's car.
Seeing Gu Luo'an carrying Su Yiqing out, Gu Huaizhi immediately understood what was happening.
This person, had chosen Su Yiqing again.
Under normal circumstances, it wouldn't matter much. Gu Huaizhi might even support him doing so.
The more he acted like that, the better.
But at a time like this, Gu Luo-an, who claims to love Shen Mian-yin, is protecting another woman first.
Good, very good! So, Gu Huai-zhi deliberately crashed into Gu Luo-an's car.
Gu Luo-an's car was immediately thrown far away. When the collision happened, Gu Luo-an was about to put Su Yi-qing in the back seat.
As a result, Su Yi-qing had only half of her body inside the car when it was hit.
Su Yi-qing was hit hard by the car door frame and screamed in pain.
She then rolled onto the ground with Gu Luo-an.
Gu Luo'an scrambled to his feet, disheveled and shouting, "Gu Huaizhi! What are you doing!"
But Gu Huaizhi completely ignored him.
He got out of his car and rushed into the factory.
Shen Chenggang had just been untied and was about to go save Shen Mianyin when he saw a figure swiftly rush past him.
"Open the door!" Gu Huaizhi yelled, his face grim.
This voice stunned Shen Mianyin.
It was Gu Huaizhi. How did he get here?
The man who was usually calm and composed, a man who wouldn't change his expression even if Mount Tai collapsed before him, was now shouting.
Shen Mianyin couldn't even imagine what Gu Huaizhi looked like when he was shouting.
Would he also lose control like this?
The door was opened, and light streamed in.
Shen Mianyin was blinded by the sudden light and couldn't open her eyes.
Gu Huaizhi entered and saw Shen Mianyin huddled in a dirty corner, her face pale and trembling.
