“What should I do now?” Gu Chuyan asked.

Han Changqing was dumbfounded when he saw her actions.

He remembered how serious Xiao Mohan was. This woman… their demeanors were a little different.

“Master will take care of it for you. Madam, let’s go home,” Han Changqing said to her. He stretched his hand and carefully pried her fingers off his coat.

Gu Chuyan felt bolder. “Let’s go.”

When she left with Han Changqing, her cell phone rang. It was Gu Yan. Gu Chuyan thought for a moment and answered the call.

“Gu Chuyan! You disappoint me! Have all my efforts in the past few years gone to waste? You wanted to kill Miaoting but you pushed the wrong person. A life for a life. Hurry up and get back here. We will go to the police station to fess up to your crime.” Gu Yan’s voice came from the other end of the phone.

“Mr. Gu, did you see me killing someone with your own eyes? Or did you see me trying to kill her personally?” Gu Chuyan’s smile was a little cold.

It was a winter afternoon. There was still a little sunlight. However, she felt really cold. The chill went all the way to the depths of her heart.

“You!” Gu Yan was speechless.

Gu Chuyan hung up the phone immediately. She hardened her heart and turned around. she walked forward and sat in the back seat. “Let’s go!”

Any place was better than the Gu family residence. Her oldest brother wasn’t at home. There would be no one to protect her. She would be sending herself to her death if she went home. Her eldest brother had been gone for three years. Was he okay? Gu Chuyan felt a little anxious.

Han Changqing drove the car out of the city. The skyscrapers in the city disappeared. Only a mountain could be seen not far away from them.

“This place… looks like heaven.” Gu Chuyan was in a daze. She could see classical ancient-looking villas all around her halfway up the mountain.

There was mist in front of them. This mountain looked like a deity watching over all of S City. There seemed to be an invisible boundary separating S City and the mountain that no one could cross. The mountain was linked to the city but somehow, this thought appeared in her mind. Gu Chuyan was quite shocked herself too.

In front, a long paved road led straight up the mountain. Cherry blossoms were planted on the two sides of the road. In the cold winter, they still gave off an enchanting fragrance.

“Madam, we’re here.” Han Changqing parked the car and went to the back to open the door.

Gu Chuyan looked at the luxurious villa in front of her. She stared at this place that appeared holy because of its tranquility. A thought slammed into her heart forcefully.

“Who are you?” she instantly asked.

They lived halfway up the mountain and were able to look down on the entire city. No outsiders loitered around here. She hadn’t been told what this place was, but when standing here, she felt a little nervous. She felt as if her presence disrupted the tranquility of this place.

“Madam, this way please.” Han Changqing didn’t reply to her directly. Instead, he raised his hand and signaled Gu Chuyan to enter.

Han Changqing brought her inside. The door opened automatically. A luxurious and ancient-looking main hall appeared in front of her.

“Madam, you can do whatever you like. I still have some things to attend to so I will take my leave first,” Han Changqing said to her respectfully. Then he turned and left.

She was the only person left in the huge and empty villa.

S City, M Corporation. It was situated in the prime district of the city center. The price of the land here as well as the size of this corporation demonstrated its high and mighty status.

On the highest floor of the M Corporation, there was an extravagant office. A person was leaning against the sofa in the office. His body was long and slender and he was leaning sideways. He gave off a mysterious aura.

“Ring.” The sound of the phone broke the silence.

The man lifted his hand lazily. His slender finger landed on one side of the sofa and he picked up his cell phone.

“Hello.” It was a charismatic, seductive and enchanting voice. The man stood up slowly and turned his tall figure slightly. He strode over to the floor-to-ceiling window with his long legs.

The man stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window that overlooked all of S City. Sunlight shone through the window. The contours of his face looked as though it was carved. Light enveloped him and made him look misty and mysterious.

“Master, I’ve already taken Madam back.” Han Changqing’s bright voice came from the other end of the phone.

Xiao Mohan raised his head slowly as he listened. His gaze turned slightly darker as he said, “Has there been someone with the surname ‘Gu’ fighting to become a candidate recently?”

“Yes,” Han Changqing replied.

Xiao Mohan turned slightly. He walked back to the table and sat on the exquisite chairman chair. He picked up a wine glass with his fair fingers and twirled it elegantly.

“Is the XX position going to change soon?”

“Yes.”

“In that case… push him up.”

Han Changqing was surprised. He said hurriedly, “Master, are you saying that you want Gu Yan to jump to XX position directly?”

Han Changqing remembered that his master never cared about politics. Why was he getting involved today? Most importantly, Gu Yan was Gu Chuyan’s father. By right, he shouldn’t be doing this.

“Yes,” Xiao Mohan answered.

He lifted his wine glass and swirled it. Then he took a little sip.

“Yes, I’ll see to it immediately.” Han Changqing didn’t have any more questions. Any decisions Xiao Mohan made were definitely right.

Xiao Mohan placed his cell phone on the table in front of him. Through the wine glass, he looked at the bright red color of the wine. “Don’t you think that the higher you climb, the harder you fall?”

The man seemed to be puzzled but at the same time, he felt extremely sure of his answer.

The tips of his slender fingers landed on the table. He picked up the stack of documents and looked at the list of people on them. He threw the documents into his drawer. He finished the wine in one gulp and stared at the empty glass. There was a tinge of ruthlessness and calculation in his indifferent gaze.

“Knock, knock.” At this moment, someone knocked on the door twice and opened it.

Han Changqing walked in. It was winter now, and it was freezing. But he was sweating profusely.

“Master, I just received news that half an hour ago, a batch of antiques got auctioned off at the black market for a high price. Look at the photos.” Han Changqing passed the iPad to Xiao Mohan as he spoke.

Xiao Mohan swiped the screen and saw the photos in them. His face turned black. There seemed to be a storm coming.

“Master, it’s the second young master from the Li family.”

“Li family?”

“Yes.”

Xiao Mohan threw the iPad on the table and picked up his coat as he walked out. As he moved, he said, “Keep your hands on him.”

“Yes.” Han Changqing received the order professionally.

A multinational listed corporation was involved in many fields, from antiques, electronics, property, to the entertainment industry. It had many subsidiary companies under it. The headquarters was situated within S City. The corporation was like the statue of a deity sitting in S City. It drove the economy of the entire city and allowed it to go international.

“Master, if the Xiao family finds out about the marriage, what shall we do?” Han Changqing was happy but he was worried too.

Xiao Mohan married Gu Chuyan because he didn’t dislike her. However, as the successor of the Xiao family, he wasn’t able to decide his own marriage. This marriage might…

“Ah Qing.” Xiao Mohan stopped in his tracks and called him.

Han Changqing’s heart dropped when he heard Xiao Mohan’s deep voice. Was his master angry?

“Yes.” Han Changqing had no choice but to answer.

Xiao Mohan turned around and stared at him. “Do you want to go back to the Xiao family?”

“No.” Han Changqing straightened up. He would never go back to the Xiao family even if he died.

The two of them walked out one after another. They got into their exclusive elevator and went straight down to the basement. The door opened. An extravagant Land Rover was parked not far away.

“Buy the antiques back at a high price. Get them back at any cost,” Xiao Mohan ordered in a low voice as he opened the car door and entered the car.
