Chapter 195: Chapter 195: My Woman, No One Can Touch
Tang Yuxiu carried Gu Yan to his parked car, placed her in the passenger seat, fastened her seatbelt, and gently stroked her hair, "I’m taking you back now, away from here, nothing will happen again."
Gu Yan nodded, her eyes still red, her whole demeanor very drained.
Tang Yuxiu pursed his lips, straightened up, closed the car door, walked around to get in, but a car’s lights flashed at him.
Right after, You Shuyang’s car stopped in front of him, and You Shuyang got out of the car.
"Young Master!"
"Gu Yan has been found. Follow this road, there’s a small wooden cabin, there are three people there, bring them back for a good interrogation. I want to know what their purpose was!"
"Yes!" You Shuyang responded, glanced into the car, couldn’t clearly see inside, but intuitively felt that Gu Yan was not well.
"Where is Xiang Linghao?"
"On his way here now."
"Alright, I’ll take her back first, handle this matter well."
Tang Yuxiu got in the car, first called Xiang Linghao, "Gu Yan has a bit of an injury, go back, get your things, and wait for me at the villa!"
After saying this, he hung up the phone, glanced at You Shuyang outside the window, then started the car and left.
You Shuyang immediately headed in the direction Tang Yuxiu indicated.
Over there, Xiang Linghao hung up the phone and immediately turned his car around to go to his hospital to get the medical kit.
Tang Yuxiu said Gu Yan was injured, and he didn’t know to what extent, and the words weren’t clear!
But fortunately, it’s good that Gu Yan was found; from Tang Yuxiu’s tone, nothing irreparable seemed to have happened.
Tang Yuxiu didn’t speed up until he got on the highway; on the mountain road earlier, he was afraid to bump Gu Yan, so he slowed down.
But Gu Yan kept her eyes closed the whole way, not saying a word, her hands tightly clutching the jacket on her shoulders.
He knew she was still scared; what happened earlier was hard for her to forget and let go.
Even he himself was still frightened; if he had been a little later... he didn’t dare to imagine what might have happened later.
Gu Yan was a strong-willed person, he knew very well, if those two had really forced her, she would have been determined enough to end herself.
The thought that she almost left him made his heart wrench!
He didn’t speak the whole way; he was naturally not good with words, and now even more so, he didn’t know what to say. Probably whatever he said now would just make her sadder.
The car drove quietly on the highway at night.
On the other side, when You Shuyang arrived at the place Tang Yuxiu mentioned, he could see a flicker of fire from afar, becoming clearer as he got closer.
The small wooden cabin Tang Yuxiu mentioned was already engulfed in flames, and the van outside was still there, which meant those who kidnapped Gu Yan hadn’t left.
They were all in the fire!
You Shuyang frowned tightly. Just who wanted to kidnap Gu Yan? After Gu Yan was rescued, they seized the right moment to kill and silence, clearly not wanting them to know.
The opponent wasn’t ordinary, if they were, they wouldn’t be able to do such ruthless things.
No trace appeared from beginning to end, yet they could plan this out.
You Shuyang sneered internally, curious to see how well the opponent could hide, escaping his information network!
Since those three were already dead, there was no need for You Shuyang to linger. Tang Yuxiu probably needed him for other tasks, so he quickly headed to his car and drove towards Lixin Villa.
Xiang Linghao was driving to Lixin Villa when he received a call from Xue Jiarui.
"Hao Ge, what are you doing now?" Xue Jiarui arrogantly lay on the sofa in his living room, crossed legs, facing his sister Xue Xianglan.
Since the last planned encounter at Central Square, Xue Jiarui no longer hesitated to mention Xiang Linghao in front of Xue Xianglan, and today he even boldly called Xiang Linghao in her presence.
No matter how Xue Xianglan glared with murderous eyes, his thick-skin demeanor was unfazed.
At this moment, Xiang Linghao had no mind to chat much with Xue Jiarui, "I’m going to Tang Yuxiu’s house now, if there’s nothing, I’m hanging up."
Xue Jiarui felt strange; something was off with Xiang Linghao today. Shouldn’t he be indirectly asking about his sister?
"Why are you going to his house at this hour?"
Xiang Linghao said, "Gu Yan was kidnapped, got a bit injured. I’m going to check on her, don’t know how serious it is."
Hearing this, Xue Jiarui was shocked, "What? Gu Yan was kidnapped?! Who dared to do that.... Hey, hey, hey, sis, what are you doing!"
Upon hearing the words ’Gu Yan was kidnapped’, Xue Xianglan was startled, quickly grabbed Xue Jiarui’s phone.
"Say it again! How could Yanyan be kidnapped? How is she now? Is she okay?"
Xiang Linghao paused at Xue Xianglan’s words, but tried to keep his voice calm, "She’s been rescued now, don’t worry."
"How can I not worry! Where is she now?"
Xiang Linghao paused, struggling momentarily between brotherhood and a woman, then sold out his brother, "Lixin Villa. If you’re coming, don’t come alone, there are few people there, let Xue Jiarui accompany you."
Xue Xianglan didn’t listen to anything else. As soon as she knew the location, she immediately hung up and ran to the door.
Xue Jiarui also got up immediately, followed Xue Xianglan out, and the two rushed to Lixin Villa together.
Xiang Linghao and Tang Yuxiu arrived at Lixin Villa one after the other.
Gu Yan didn’t say a word the whole way, her whole being like a rag doll, with no light in her eyes.
Tang Yuxiu carried her upstairs, while Xiang Linghao followed closely behind with a medical kit in hand.
Tang Yuxiu placed her on the bed, removed his suit jacket, pulled the quilt over her, and then let Xiang Linghao come to check on her.
Xiang Linghao placed the medical kit on the bedside and softly asked Gu Yan, "Besides the wound on your face, are there any other injuries?"
Gu Yan glanced at him, looked past him, and frowned.
Tang Yuxiu took a step forward, "What’s wrong?"
She said nothing. He looked at Xiang Linghao, who replied, "She might be scared and resistant to unfamiliar people."
Tang Yuxiu’s heart ached, "Then step back; I’ll ask her."
Xiang Linghao obediently stepped back a bit, while Tang Yuxiu sat on the edge of the bed, reaching out to gently caress her hair, not daring to touch her swollen face.
"Gu Yan, tell me, where else does it hurt? Where are you injured?"
Gu Yan frowned and whispered, "My waist hurts. They tried to pull my pants down but couldn’t, so it must be red and swollen."
Speaking of them trying to pull her pants down, Gu Yan couldn’t help but shrink her body. Tang Yuxiu’s eyes darkened, and he hurriedly comforted her softly, "Don’t think about those things. You’re home now, and with me here, no one can hurt you."
Perhaps Tang Yuxiu’s words worked, as Gu Yan’s tense body gradually relaxed again, and she nodded gently.
Tang Yuxiu turned to Xiang Linghao, "Her waist is also injured, probably similar to her face."
"If that’s the case, I’ll give you the medication and you can apply it for her," said Xiang Linghao. Considering the injury on her waist, not to mention Gu Yan’s current resistance to any man other than Tang Yuxiu, Tang Yuxiu would likely not allow him to get closer anyway.
"Bring it here."
Xiang Linghao approached the bed, and Gu Yan shrank to the other side. Tang Yuxiu blocked Gu Yan’s view, "Don’t be afraid, he’s my friend and won’t hurt you."
Gu Yan looked at Tang Yuxiu and said nothing.
Xiang Linghao took out the medicine and placed it on the bedside, "The medicine’s here, I’ll head out first."
"Okay."
Xiang Linghao left the bedroom, closing the door behind him, and Gu Yan finally relaxed a bit.
Tang Yuxiu gently touched her head again, "I’ll apply the medicine for you."
Gu Yan nodded gently.
Xiang Linghao’s medicine was a unique formula, specifically for treating redness and swelling. Applying it to the face had a cool feeling, very soothing.
Tang Yuxiu’s movements were very gentle, occasionally asking her, "Does it hurt?" To which Gu Yan would lightly shake her head.
Only then did Tang Yuxiu feel relieved.
Gu Yan looked at him intently with her eyes open. At this moment, Tang Yuxiu wasn’t his usual aloof self, and he seemed to exude a rare gentleness.
In such circumstances, even the lighting in the room seemed much softer, and his defined, cold features appeared much more tender.
"Tang Yuxiu, thank you for coming to save me."
At the most critical, most desperate moment, he appeared again.
If he hadn’t come, she might have bitten her tongue to commit suicide by now?
Thinking about it, it would really be quite a waste to be forced to die like that, such a disgrace!
Tang Yuxiu raised his eyes to look at her and said calmly, "No one can touch my woman."
Fortunately, they hadn’t caused her greater harm; otherwise, he would have made them pay with their lives!
Even now, he wouldn’t easily let them off, making them repay the pain they inflicted on her a hundred, a thousand times over.
His woman...
Gu Yan was genuinely touched, but she still wasn’t someone important.
"I’m just a concubine, not important enough to trouble you so much."
She lowered her gaze, hiding the hurt and self-mockery in her eyes.
Tang Yuxiu frowned, pausing his hand applying medicine, "Gu Yan, from now on, don’t ever mention being a concubine again."
Gu Yan nodded slightly, "Okay, I know, if someone accidentally hears it, you’ll be in trouble."
Tang Yuxiu suddenly put down the medicine and cotton swab in his hand, cupped the back of her head with one hand, lifted her chin with the other, avoided her injured left cheek, and then pressed his slightly cool lips against hers.
Because he was mindful of the injury on her face, he didn’t exert any force, merely tracing her lips gently, tasting and stopping.
Gu Yan froze.
After a while, Tang Yuxiu let her go, resting his forehead intimately against hers, his deep eyes spilling some warmth.
"Gu Yan, from now on, you’re not my concubine, understand?"
Gu Yan was slightly taken aback, and after a moment, she snapped back to reality, looking at him blankly, "Is it because I was almost disgraced, so you despise me and don’t want me anymore?"
But they didn’t succeed!
