Chapter 290: Why Is It You?

Chapter 290: Why Is It You?

At the same time in the suburbs villa, Jian Yuan smiled as he watched his team escort Yan Yuling out of the ship and into a car that would bring her to him. Tracing her face on the screen, he murmured, "Xiao Ling’er, soon, you will be mine."

In high spirits, he dialed a number. Within a minute, the call connected.

"Hello, CEO Gu," a voice answered.

"Assistant Wei, please inform your boss that I agree to his request. I will give him 8% of Feiwu Corporation’s shares. Let’s sign the contract tomorrow at 10," Jian Yuan said with a smile.

Hearing this, Wei Zheming glanced at Feng Zhexuan and frowned. After a brief pause, he replied, "I’m sorry, CEO Gu. President Feng’s schedule is fully booked for the next two weeks. How about I schedule the signing meeting for—"

Before he could finish, Jian Yuan cut him off, "Assistant Wei, I’m also a busy man. If your boss can’t sign the contract tomorrow morning, we can forget about it."

"My Feiwu Corporation has other options besides the Feng Group. Moyun Group has also expressed interest in this project," he added coldly.

Wei Zheming hesitated briefly before responding, "CEO Gu, I will inform you after confirming President Feng’s schedule."

"Alright. I will await your good news," Jian Yuan said nonchalantly before ending the call.

Leaning back in his chair, he sneered, "Feng Zhexuan, I wonder what you will choose—your company or your wife."

Feeling pleased with himself, he poured himself a glass of red wine. After finishing the drink, he leaned back in his chair and closed his eyes to take a nap after he took another glance at his laptop screen.

Not long after, Jian Yuan stirred awake. When his eyes opened, the coldness in the depth of his gaze were replaced with anxiousness and worries. Reaching for his phone, he dialed Feng Zhexuan’s number.

Standing on the deck, Feng Zhexuan glanced at the caller ID before answering, "What do you want?"

"Feng Zhexuan, Yuling is alive. Jian Yuan’s men have taken her. I’m sending you her location. You must save her, or you will lose her forever," the voice on the other end said urgently.

Frowning at his strange words, Feng Zhexuan asked, "Gu Jianci, what game are you playing now?"

Gu Jianci’s voice weakened as he replied, "I don’t have time to explain. You only have three hours."

After he finished his words, the call ended. Moments later, Feng Zhexuan’s phone buzzed with a notification—the location had been sent.

While Feng Zhexuan was still doubting his intentions, Gu Jianci gritted his teeth against the worsening headache. He locked onto Jian Yuan’s system and connected Jian Yuan’s laptop to Feng Zhexuan’s phone

With his consciousness linked to Jian Yuan’s mind, Gu Jianci gained full access to his thoughts. As he delved deeper into Jian Yuan’s mind, he had the premonition that his time was running out. He had to ensure Yan Yuling’s safety before his existence faded entirely.

Looking at Yan Yuling’s face on the screen, he smiled wistfully, "Yuling, this may be my last gift to you. I hope he can save you before it’s too late."

A single tear slipped down his cheek as his consciousness dissolved into darkness.

When the sky brightened, Yan Yuling opened her eyes groggily and looked out the window. Seeing the high-rise buildings, her heart beat with anticipation and joy. She had really returned to the capital!

She turned to the man sitting beside her and asked, "Brother, were you hired by my husband?"

The man, who had just lost a group of brothers rescuing her, was not in the mood to talk. He only glanced at her briefly before closing his eyes to rest.

Sensing their exhaustion, Yan Yuling stopped speaking and returned her gaze to the window. However, when the car left the city and headed toward the suburbs, a sense of doubt crept into her heart.

If her husband had rescued her, he would have taken her back to their home in the first ring road. There was no reason he would bring her to the suburbs.

As this doubt took root in her heart, fear and panic surged within her. Unconsciously, her arms encircled her stomach, as though to protect her unborn baby.

A few hours later, the car finally passed through the gates of a villa located in the most upscale area of the residential district. When the car stopped at the entrance, the group of men exited.

Not long after, one of the men opened the door, glanced at her, and said, "Get out."

Fearing they might harm her if she disobeyed, Yan Yuling stepped out of the car and followed them quietly. Upon entering the villa, she saw a man standing at the floor-to-ceiling window with his back to her.

When they were just a few meters away, one of the men said, "Boss, we have brought her here."

The man turned around with a smile and said, "Thank you for your hard work. You can go back and rest now."

The group of men nodded and left. Their mission was complete, and there was nothing more for them to do here.

As soon as Yan Yuling saw him, her eyes widened in shock. It took her a moment to regain her composure before she asked, "Jianci? Why is it you?"

Walking over to her, Jian Yuan smiled gently and asked, "Why wouldn’t it be me?"

"You—weren’t you going abroad?" she asked again, her voice laced with confusion.

Standing before her, Jian Yuan reached out to tidy her hair and said with worries, "Yuling, I heard about what happened and rushed back. Luckily, I made it in time to save you."

When Yan Yuling met his gaze, an inexplicable resistance welled up within her. The moment he caressed her cheek, she flinched and instinctively stepped back.

Jian Yuan’s eyes turned cold, and anger surged within him the moment she avoided his touch. She had never rejected Gu Jianci’s touch and eagerly sought Feng Zhexuan’s affection. But when it came to him, she despised his touch.
