The night fell.

Tang Suiyu finally lay comfortably in Ye Gushen’s arms, "Have you memorized the people who came?"

"Yes." 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

"Nowadays, only wealthy people can afford to play these games, always wanting to spark some civil war, leaving the common people in distress. I really don’t understand their mindset! Is power and status really that important to you men?"

"Important." Ye Gushen held her close, his slightly cool lips touching her smooth forehead.

Is it really that important?

Even Ye Gushen thinks it’s important. She had always thought he didn’t care about those things. Could she have been wrong?

"How else would we clean up the mess you cause?"

"I haven’t caused any mess!" She kicked him under the thin blanket, "Let’s sleep, let’s sleep. Hopefully, we won’t get killed while sleeping!"

"We won’t."

The situation Tang Suiyu feared did not happen; they went home the next day.

Three days later.

She and Ye Gushen were sitting in the living room watching TV, enjoying a rare moment of leisure.

Suddenly, someone walked in hurriedly, "Boss, Mr. Mo wants to see you now!"

Lin Shang!

Tang Suiyu swallowed the green grape in her mouth, successfully choking on it.

The visitor glanced at her.

"I’m fine, I’m fine, this TV show is too funny! I couldn’t help it..." Tang Suiyu patted her chest and met Ye Gushen’s cold dark eyes, "Brother, you should go!"

Ye Gushen couldn’t ignore it; Mr. Mo called for him, especially since Lin Shang was the one caught.

After they left, Tang Suiyu sat in the living room for a while longer until the variety show ended, then yawned and went upstairs.

On Mo Qianchi’s wedding anniversary last time, Ye Gushen planned to cut off their escape route, so he contacted Lin Shang and Feng Li, asking them to send people to control everyone.

But Lin Shang was in Jing City, so how did he get caught?

Could he have come personally? Or is this just a ruse?

She was terribly vexed, holding her computer with the music blasting loudly. If Ye Gushen and Lin Shang were exposed, how would she ensure Ye Gushen gets away?

——

Ye Gushen saw Lin Shang in a cold, damp basement, tied to a wooden crucifix, limbs restrained, his body covered with intersecting whip marks, red wounds bursting open with visible blood streaks.

Years of training allowed him to face such sights without batting an eye, but inside, he wished he could tear these people to pieces.

"Boss, this man is Lin Shang. We’re in luck this time, to have caught someone like him!" Afeng grinned, taking credit.

"Yes, excellent." Ye Gushen’s voice was deep.

Lin Shang, beaten into unconsciousness and waking again, slowly opened his eyes. The man in front had an unremarkable face; the boss’s disguise was indeed good.

Totally different from the previous face.

"You’re here! What do you think we should do with him? Killing him directly seems too easy, doesn’t it?" Mo Qianchi’s voice came from behind.

Ye Gushen turned around, "Mr. Mo is right, killing him would be too easy!"

"After Ye Gushen’s death, this guy has been in charge. Now that he’s in our hands, perhaps killing him is better." Mo Qianchi continued.
