Chapter 6, A Calamity from Beyond the Heavens

Dark Small Medium Large Original Scroll to Bottom

Ruan En was left stunned by the business jargon coming from the other party. What kind of situation is this? She was inexplicably pulled into a car, brought here without any explanation, and now faced with a series of questions that she had no idea how to tackle. She wanted to honestly say, "I don't know," but as soon as the words left her mouth, the elderly man interrupted her.

Gu Xiliang received a call and quickly rushed over. Upon arriving at the scene, he saw Mo Bei's face, pale and devoid of color from being reprimanded, as He Xue was persistently using the phone to inquire about news. He couldn't help but feel a sense of curiosity. Mo Bei belonged to the type that couldn't hold back; he would express his anger on the spot, regardless of who it was, be it a king or a deity, he simply wouldn't tolerate it! Unexpectedly, this He Xue had him completely under her control.

It is quite normal to offend someone in business. He considered the possibility of someone seeking revenge, but very few are unaware of this, especially since he is not only the leader of the Gu family but has also been nominated as a candidate for the next president of the Taipei Chamber of Commerce due to his grandfather's influence. Therefore, anyone with a modicum of intelligence would not foolishly place themselves in the line of fire at this moment

First, I am not an orphan. Second, I do indeed enjoy the storyline of a sparrow transforming into a phoenix; it was my favorite role to play in childhood games. Third, I am unclear about your connection with Gu Xiliang, but what does that have to do with me? I am not related to him in any way. If we must establish some connection, he would be considered the spouse of my close friend.

Don't, Sister He, you must tell me what happened

It has been a long time since I encountered something so thrilling; today, the old man is going to unleash a massacre! I would like to see who dares to wield a big knife in front of Guan Gong

He Xue heard his response and did not feel much more at ease. She shouted into the phone, "You have seven minutes left! If I don't see you by then, I'll start digging on your head!"

A good suggestion

The Korean looked at her approaching youthful face and suddenly felt childish. How could he argue with a little girl who did not understand? Thus, he regained his composure and smiled lightly as he let go, "Alright, what do you want to do? I am at your service at any time."

The persistent ringing of the phone from Didi continued, and just as He Xue was about to give up and hang up, the call was finally answered. Mo Bei was likely still lost in slumber, his voice sounding weak and lethargic as he impatiently picked up the phone and exclaimed, "Who is it so early in the morning?" He Xue, upon hearing this, felt a mix of anger and urgency, and she roared into the phone, "Is this early in the morning? Have you lost your mind after a night of revelry? I am downstairs at Baisheng Building, and I give you ten minutes to appear. Contact Gu Xiliang within 10 seconds, or I will end you!" Upon hearing He Xue's signature loud voice, Mo Bei, who had been half-awake and half-asleep just a moment ago, instantly became alert and energized.

Frivolous tone

Han Min felt an impulse to spit blood upon hearing this; it turned out she had completely mistaken the target and had been played like a fool. After He Xue finished her statement, she leisurely picked up the phone on the table and sent a text message to Ruan En: "All set, waiting downstairs at Baisheng Building"

"I just didn't react in time, why don't you ask again?" Unexpectedly, Han Min really asked again, and He Xue answered her sincerely.

Han Yi had not yet come to his senses when He Xue had already run out of the café, thinking that she must be truly frightened, he couldn't help but chuckle. But the next moment, he heard Han Min's exclamation.

Hearing the girl complain in a spoiled and aggrieved tone to the passerby, He Xue was taken aback and unconsciously blurted out.

He Xue did not expect that Han Min had such an aggressive character behind her, and she took a slight step back, her combat power completely provoked

This noun suddenly emerged in Gu Xiliang's mind. Last night, he received a call from Lu Cheng, who mentioned that while driving past the Gu residence, he noticed a bright display of lights, wondering if the old master had returned. The more Gu Xiliang thought about it, the more he felt that this possibility was quite high. Finally, he could no longer remain indifferent and commanded, "Get in the car." He Xue, confused, was pushed into the back seat by Mo Bei. Judging by Gu Xiliang's expression, he must have known who the other party was. Mo Bei sat in the passenger seat, looking eager to try.

Weak woman? Interesting

If one does not even understand these basic business principles, how can they assist their husband in advancing his career, and how can they have the capability to be a good granddaughter-in-law

Which two companies have had the highest gains and losses in the past 7 days? What are the respective magnitudes of their stock price fluctuations? Which industry currently has the most development potential in this city? What are the opening and closing prices of Gu's stock today?

The Korean man detected a clear threat in He Xue's words; he had not encountered many who dared to threaten him, and this woman actually did. Consequently, he unconsciously tightened his grip on her hand, and his tone became serious.

maternal grandfather

He Xue finally let out a laugh, but soon she felt the man's gaze sweep over her, his eyes piercing like knives, which made her immediately stop smiling

Should the young lady also share the burden of the grievances suffered by that younger sister?

How dare one keep Young Master Han waiting

Brother, what happened to your coat

Do you think I dare or not

In contrast to the anxiety of the two, Gu Xiliang appeared unusually calm, only asking He Xue to repeat the sequence of events and the appearance of that group of people

Then she stood up and prepared to walk out, but as she passed by the Korean, her hand was grabbed, and He Xue turned back.

"What if I say no? You won't let me go then?" Han Yi raised an eyebrow, noncommittal. He Xue, however, replied, "You won't." Han Yi still did not respond, continuing to wait for her to elaborate.

Ruan Ruan has been kidnapped

What are you doing? It is a great honor to drink with Miss Han, just let me take care of the bill, no need to be polite. She lifted her foot to leave, but the other party still showed no intention of letting go. She felt that his grip was not strong, yet it conveyed a sense of determination

He Xue couldn't help but slap him on the head, saying, "Every time I hear you spouting some nonsensical idioms and proverbs, I get all goosebumps. Can you be a bit more normal?"

The person in the seat directly in front finally spoke, their words quick and incisive

When did I bully you

Mo Bei and Ruan En only had a brief conversation at the wedding, and he had not yet realized who He Xue was referring to as Ruan Ruan, nor the relationship with Gu Xi Liang. Wait a minute, it seems that the young master Gu's wife has the surname Ruan, could it be? Mo Bei jolted and nearly fell off the bed, fortunately, the woman sleeping beside him pulled him back. He pushed away the naked woman who was trying to take advantage of the situation and was about to cause trouble, hurriedly getting dressed while picking up the phone from the floor, he said to He Xue: "Don't worry! I will immediately send someone to investigate who dares to disturb the peace in such a high place!"

The car was completely enclosed with dark bulletproof glass. Ruan Enwang glanced at the several silent individuals in black sitting opposite her, and the initial boundless fear had dissipated. Throughout the journey, she could sense that they bore no ill will; she simply felt uncertain about her whereabouts, which made her somewhat anxious. The extended Lincoln finally came to a stop after a brief pause and a gentle turn. A few individuals in suits got out of the car first, then bowed their heads and gestured for her to proceed.

When Ruan En saw He Xue coming down the stairs, she was nervously patting her chest with both hands. She greeted her and then took about 5 steps forward, but was rudely "invited" by several men in black to get into a roadside van, without even having time to call for help. Passersby glanced over but no one dared to intervene. He Xue was stunned, watching helplessly as Ruan En was pulled away from her sight, and only when a car rushed past did she realize what had just happened. She did not consider calling Xi Liang; her first instinct was to call Mo Bei, but her hand trembled slightly as she reached into her bag for her phone, taking a long time to find her off-white flip phone.

Does Your Excellency mean for me to apologize

The Korean man watched as the girl in front of him flaunted her eloquence, and he found Han Min's behavior quite childish. However, he felt that he had to lean towards his own side. Finally, he spoke the first sentence, but it came out with a somewhat provocative tone.

You have, you have! No matter what I say, you ignore me, this is bullying me! Feeling ashamed.

She neither spoke harshly nor resorted to physical confrontation, and she answered every question posed by the other party. However, how could Miss Han possibly outmaneuver her in the game of words? For Miss Han, this was likely a significant insult

He Xue stepped back a few paces from the main door, raised her hand to touch her wrist that had been released, and her words remained unyielding.

Ruan En had never been here, so it was only natural that she did not know who was looking for her or what the matter was. She stood among them, slowly making her way through the vintage wrought-iron garden. After being led to the main hall, she raised her eyes and saw an elderly man with almost completely white hair. He appeared genuinely old, yet exuded an air of authority and robustness. Ruan En was unsure whether to first inquire about how to address him or to ask what the purpose of the visit was. Both options seemed inappropriate, as the gaze of the other party seemed to pierce right through her.

You dare to threaten me

The Korean man lowered his head and then noticed that the hem of his suit had been slashed with a long cut, only then did he understand He Xue's last words.

Upon hearing this, Gu Xiliang turned his gaze, which had been fixed ahead, and cast a pointed glance at Mobei

You should know better. After all, you are a prominent public figure. What do you think the repercussions will be if you forcibly detain a vulnerable woman in such a public setting? Furthermore, take good care of your clever, charming, and innocent little sister! Why engage in such harmful actions that disrupt couples? People often say it is better to dismantle a temple than to break up a marriage; be cautious of the consequences that may follow.

It was better not to ask; once asked, He Xue became even more flustered. She had no time to explain the background and details of the matter, only spitting out the most essential keywords

He Xue did not sense any danger; instead, she leaned her face closer to Han Yi, her body, which was at least half a head shorter, also leaning forward, her smile radiant as a flower
