Chapter 561
In a daze, Ziyue caught a whiff of smoky smell.
Muchen had quit smoking for a long time and wouldn't smoke around Ziyue.
She couldn't stand the smoldering smoke and regained consciousness in an instant.
All she saw was darkness.
And her consciousness gradually returned.
She wanted to go to the hospital and had already gotten into the driver's car, but when she got off the car, she was
knocked unconscious by someone.
Thinking of this, she immediately became alert.
The room was pitch black and eerily silent. Ziyue looked around and cautiously asked, "Is anyone there?"
There was no answer.
She removed the blanket to get out of bed. Just as she turned around to examine the surrounding, she saw a
flickering spark in the darkness.
Looking at the flickering spark, Ziyue presumed someone could be smoking nearby as she recalled the whiff of
smoke, she smelled a moment ago.
Ziyue tensed up a little. She profusely swallowed her saliva and asked inquisitively, "Who's there?"
The next moment, the tiny spark went out.
Ziyue didn't know who or where the other person was. The room was pitch-black, and she didn't know if other
people were there.
Ziyue didn't dare to act rashly.
"Well, you're awake. That was fast. The boys were lenient with you." A familiar feminine voice sounded from a
corner.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtZiyue unwittingly clenched her fists, "Gu Hanyan!"
'Pap!"
Someone switched on the light, and the room was immediately lit up.
Ziyue looked around and saw Hanyan sitting in the corner with her legs crossed.
Hanyan wore a black dress with shoulder-length hair. There were several cigarette butts in the ashtray on the low
table beside her. She was shrouded with soft light, exuding a dreamy and enchanting vibe.
Gu Hanyan was once a famous movie star. Compared to regular women, she was indeed elegant and captivating.
"It's you!" Ziyue's furrowed.
"Look at you. Why are you so surprised? Didn't I warn you that we'd meet soon? "
Hanyan stared at Ziyue, seemingly amused by Ziyue's reaction. She smiled, rose on her feet, and walked towards
Ziyue.
Ziyue took two steps back and looked at her warily. "What do you want?"
"Of course, I want to do good to help people." Hanyan smiled, but her expression was distant and cold.
She hadn't seen Gu Hanyan in a long time.
They hadn't met since Hanyan was handed over to Qin Yuchuan by Muchen.
Yet, the fact that Hanyan had fled from the Mogwin Castle denoted that someone must have helped her to escape.
Hanyan had found a powerful ally.
Without external influence and help, Hanyan couldn't have escaped from Mogwin Castle.
Ziyue reminded herself not to underestimate Hanyan because she was a different person now.
"Don't try anything stupid. You may have escaped once, but there won't be a second time!" Ziyue severely doubted
Gu Hanyan's words about wanting to help.
Gu Hanyan didn't say anything but sneer.
Then, she turned around and left.
Ziyue suddenly remembered that Muchen was still in the hospital and worried about him. As Hanyan strutted to the
door, Ziyue stopped her from leaving.
"You'd better let me go now while Muchen still hasn't discovered I'm missing," Ziyue said, knowing that Gu Hanyan
was wary of Muchen.
Ziyue was adamant about leaving this place and being with Muchen again. She must find a way and get out of here
by hook and crook.
Unexpectedly, Gu Hanyan turned somber and glum at Ziyue's warning. She lifted her chin and curled her lips into a
smirk.
"Have you looked at yourself in the mirror? Do you really think you matter to Qin Muchen?"
Hanyan's voice echoed in the spacious room.
Without giving Ziyue a chance to speak again, Hanyan shoved Ziyue aside and strutted out of the room.
There was a guard by the door. He peeked into the room before locking the door again.
Seeing that, Ziyue's heart leaped into her throat. She ran to the door, relentlessly pounded, and screamed, "Gu
Hanyan, let me out! Let me out! This is illegal detention. You can't do this even if you have a powerful ally!"
There was no response.
Hanyan deliberately ignored Ziyue.
Ziyue pulled her hair. Whenever she was anxious, she would instinctively grab and pull her hair.
Ziyue folded her arms against her chest and anxiously paced around the room, trying to devise an escape plan.
Then, she combed through the entire room for a weapon but to no avail.
There wasn't even a clock in the room, let alone a phone.
Ziyue didn't even know what time it was, nor did she know Muchen's health condition.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDid they know she had been abducted by Hanyan?
Would Muchen misunderstand her no-show for refusing to visit him at the hospital?
Meanwhile, at the hospital. Chuan got off the phone with Ziyue. But he got shocked when he saw Muchen standing
behind him.
"Why did you get out of bed? The doctor had asked you to stay in bed." Chuan said frantically while supporting
Muchen back to his bed.
Muchen wore a hospital gown. He looked pale and weak.
He had injured his internal organs from the accident. He was still under observation for possible surgery, but it was
unlikely that he needed to undergo the knife.
Just like what Chuan had told Ziyue over the phone. Muchen only sustained a minor injury.
Muchen did not evade Chuan's attempts to help him. He glared at Chuan and asked, "Why did you call her?"
Chuan was alarmed by Muchen's death stare and quickly retracted his arms.
But Muchen did not seem to disapprove of Chuan's initiative.
In fact, Muchen asked again, "Is she arriving soon?"
Chuan perceived Muchen's notion and knew he wanted to see Ziyue. He propped Muchen with his body and said, "I
have already asked the driver to pick up Madam. She will be here soon."
Muchen raised an eyebrow but didn't say much.
There was yearning and anticipation in Muchen's eyes.
He had regretted not driving home. Else he wouldn't have gotten into a car accident and ended up in the hospital in
the middle of the night.
But he flared up again when he recalled that Ziyue would rather believe in Lu Shichu than him.
Muchen sped up his pace while Chuan frantically said, "Boss, Boss… Please slow down... don't walk so fast..."
