Chapter 1550 Huai Mei Kidnapped?
The willow branch lashed out fiercely, causing Gu Yu Long to let out a scream of pain, "Ah—"
"I'll kill you...!"
"Pa—"
After a few lashes, Gu Yu Long was filled with shame and anger, his face flushed red, but he became much more obedient.
"Are you still going to kill me?" Chen Xuan asked indifferently.
"No... no more..."
Gu Yu Long gritted his teeth, squeezing out a few words from between them.
"You were honest this time. Do you dare to cause me trouble again?"
"I dare not."
"Swear to me that you will never trouble me again, or may lightning strike you down."
"I swear..."
Gu Yu Long feigned an oath.
"You lost, I won, and I accepted your challenge. From now on, we are even. Don't bother me again, or I'll leave no chicken or dog alive," Chen Xuan said fiercely.
With that, Chen Xuan turned to leave, but suddenly realized something and called out to Gu Yu Long, "The people you arranged to ambush me are on the mountainside. You go untie them later, or if they get carried away by wolves, don't blame me."
"Who? What are you talking about?" Gu Yu Long was stunned.
Chen Xuan sized up Gu Yu Long and found that he didn't seem to be faking it. "I don't know if you're faking it or not, but someone ambushed me on the mountainside. You'd better take care of yourself!"
He strode down the mountain.
"Hey, untie me!" Gu Yu Long shouted.
From afar, Chen Xuan's voice could be heard, "Your pressure points will be released automatically in half an hour!"
Hearing this, Gu Yu Long felt a little relieved.
She pondered Chen Xuan's words and murmured, "Did he happen to be late because someone ambushed him? And did he humiliate me because someone ambushed him?"
Half an hour later, Gu Yu Long's arm could finally move. She stretched it and quickly made a call, asking someone to check the situation on the mountainside of Shili Slope.
"Miss, they are indeed our Gu family members."
"Who did it?!" Gu Yu Long asked in a deep voice.
"It's Young Master Ling Yun..."
"Damn it!"
Gu Yu Long hung up the phone, and her anger towards Chen Xuan decreased slightly. However, as she walked, the pain from behind made her feel both ashamed and angry. Clearly, such things could not be erased.
After a while, she returned to the Gu family in the capital.
"How is Sister? Did you teach that guy a good lesson? I knew Sister could do it!"
Gu Ling Yun, upon learning that Gu Yu Long had returned to the family, rushed to find her, saying with a smile.
"Kneel down!"
Gu Yu Long's pretty face was icy, and she said coldly.
"Ah? Why?"
Gu Ling Yun didn't know what game Gu Yu Long was playing this time.
"What do you think?"
"I don't know." Gu Ling Yun shook his head.
"You don't know? I'm asking you, did you arrange for people to ambush Chen Xuan?" Gu Yu Long asked sternly.
She would not allow her brother to be a scoundrel, nor would she allow Gu Ling Yun to help him win by such means.
"What ambush? I don't know..." Gu Ling Yun quickly denied.
He knew Gu Yu Long's temperament. If she found out about this, it would be over for him.
"You still dare to quibble? If I hadn't untied your men, they would have already been fed to the wild beasts."
"Ah? My men failed?"
Gu Ling Yun immediately reacted.
He hadn't been able to get through on the phone, and a bad feeling had arisen in his heart. He was just about to call again to ask, but it turned out that all of them had been captured by that brat.
"What else do you have to say?"
"It was the people I arranged." Realizing he had let it slip, Gu Ling Yun had no choice but to admit it.
"Kneel!"
Although Gu Ling Yun was a young master of the Gu family, the elders in the family had given Gu Yu Long a lot of authority since childhood, including the right to discipline Gu Ling Yun. Upon hearing this, Gu Ling Yun knelt on the ground with a thud.
"Do you know you were wrong?"
"Sister, I was trying to help you!"
Help me?
Gu Yu Long almost slapped Gu Ling Yun twice. If he hadn't tried to help, her older sister wouldn't have suffered such humiliation.
"Sister, did you win against that guy?" Gu Ling Yun, seeing Gu Yu Long's serious expression, was also uncertain.
Although his ambush had failed, he didn't believe Gu Yu Long would fail. After all, Gu Yu Long was a Martial Emperor realm expert. But now, with Gu Yu Long's expression, he was starting to have doubts.
"I didn't win."
Gu Yu Long took a breath and slowly stated the outcome.
"Ah?"
Gu Ling Yun's mouth widened, and his jaw almost dropped to the ground. "This... how is this possible?"
Let alone Gu Ling Yun, even other members of the Gu family would likely not believe it if they knew.
Gu Yu Long said sternly, "I warn you, don't set your sights on Huang Li again, and don't provoke Chen Xuan anymore. You can't afford to provoke him."
"But I am from the Gu family..." Gu Ling Yun said unconvincingly.
"The Gu family? You keep mentioning the Gu family, but if you disregard the Gu family, what are you? You must remember my words! In this life, there will come a day when the Gu family will lose its deterrent power."
Gu Yu Long said coldly.
Gu Ling Yun was speechless. "Sister, I understand. But what about my strength?"
"Figure it out yourself, don't always ask me." Gu Yu Long was too lazy to bother with it. "Let's plan for the long term."
"Then I'll leave."
Gu Ling Yun, not expecting things to go so smoothly, sighed and got up to leave.
At this moment, a servant walked in with a small medicinal bottle. "Miss, here is the wound medicine you requested."
"Sister, are you injured? Where are you hurt? Did that brat do it? Let me see!"
Gu Ling Yun said with concern.
Gu Yu Long's face flushed. She couldn't possibly tell Gu Ling Yun that her rear had been swollen by Chen Xuan. She felt both embarrassed and shy.
"It's nothing, just a minor skin injury. You can go now."
"Oh... alright then." Gu Ling Yun nodded.
Gu Yu Long took the wound medicine and walked towards the bedroom.
Gu Ling Yun stared at Gu Yu Long's retreating back, frowned, and muttered, "Why does Sister's walking posture seem a bit off..."
Although he was puzzled, Gu Ling Yun didn't think much of it.
In the blink of an eye, a few days passed. The Gu family didn't cause Chen Xuan any trouble. Chen Xuan actually felt a little more favorably towards Gu Yu Long, at least proving that the woman was quite credible.
In the past few days, Huai Mei had been calling him frequently, wanting to ask him out for meals, shopping, and movies, but Chen Xuan had refused, citing busy work.
Chen Xuan glanced at his phone and couldn't help but frown.
Why hadn't Huai Mei called today?
At this time, she would definitely call, but now she hadn't, which made Chen Xuan a little unaccustomed.
"Maybe she gave up. It's good if she gave up, and we can each live our own lives."
Chen Xuan grinned.
Just as he was about to put his phone back in his pocket, his phone suddenly rang. It was Huai Mei's call.
He hesitated for a moment before answering, "Miss Hua, is there something?"
"Chen Xuan... Chen Xuan... save me..."
Chen Xuan sighed. "Miss Hua, please stop joking. I really don't have time right now to go shopping and eating with you. I'll contact you when I have time."
After saying that, he was about to hang up.
But then, Huai Mei said, "Chen... Chen Xuan, I've been kidnapped. You... you come and save me quickly... I'm not lying to you... really!"
