Chapter 657: 657 ... I was extremely scared at the time

Elsewhere.

A truck laden with goods, en route to Sea City, crawled along.

Onboard, a strikingly handsome young man who had been in a deep sleep suddenly awoke with a start.

The man in the driver’s seat was taken aback, glanced at him, and asked, "What’s wrong?"

Gu Yingzhou snapped back to reality, pinching his brow as if trying to shake off a persistent dull ache at the back of his mind.

"How much longer until we get there?!" he retorted.

For some reason, he felt a vague unease.

The man replied, "We’ll get there tomorrow morning."

Gu Yingzhou’s heartbeat quickened as he peered out at the green blur speeding past, a surge of something welling up in his eyes.

"Drive faster!" he ordered.

The man gave a wry smile. "...We’re already going fast. The Ruan grandparents are fine for now, don’t worry."

They had been on the road for a whole week now, and he was nearly sick of it.

Gu Yingzhou didn’t mention the inexplicable unease gnawing at him.

This anxiety seemed to have something to do with the people in Anping County.

He opened the bundle Lin Tang had packed for him and idly filled his stomach, then offered, "You rest, I’ll drive."

"Alright."

Pushing through without a break, they arrived more than two hours ahead of schedule.

The vehicle had just stopped when Chen Feng popped out from nowhere.

"Yingzhou."

Gu Yingzhou stretched out his hand for a fist bump with his friend, "Dafeng, long time no see."

"Hahaha, indeed, it’s been a while," Chen Feng laughed.

Thinking back to the newspaper he saw at the kiosk on his way, his gaze hardened, "I suggest you call your fiancée later. There’s been an accident with the train you were on. I just saw the report from the scene, your lady seems to have gone there to help..."

Chen Feng had a vivid recollection of Lin Tang and her fairy-like face.

Once he saw that face on the newspaper, he immediately realized that in bringing Yingzhou to Sea City...

It seemed like they did a good deed, but also a bad one!

Gu Yingzhou’s body stiffened.

Only now did he understand where that unease came from.

His dark eyes turned to Chen Feng and he asked, "Dafeng, do you have a newspaper?"

Chen Feng had foreseen his friend’s request and presented the newspaper, "Here you go."

"Thanks." Gu Yingzhou took the paper, unfolded it, and began to read.

"That’s your girl, right?" Chen Feng inquired.

Gu Yingzhou’s Adam’s apple moved slightly, his gaze as profound as the night sky, "Not my girl, my fiancée."

Looking at the disheveled girl on the newspaper, he raised a hand to his eyes, only to quickly put it down again.

"I’m going to make a call."

With that, he took long strides toward the Post Office.

Chen Feng grabbed Gu Yingzhou, exclaiming, "Are you crazy?"

"...Those people are just waiting for you to fall into their trap. If you expose yourself now, does that mean you don’t care about the Ruan grandparents anymore?!" he said with a grave look.

Gu Yingzhou scoffed, his dark eyes as fierce as sharpened axes, "Do you think they can stop me?"

Chen Feng shook his head, his tone heavy, "It’s different now, the situation is different. Follow me!"

Without further ado, and without even allowing him to go to the Guest House, he led him straight to the house of the young man, Lun Nengneng, who had driven to pick him up.

Gu Yingzhou was indeed not very familiar with the situation in Sea City, and without fuss, he followed his two friends willingly.

At Lun’s house—

Chen Feng was the first to speak and shared the news he knew, "...Sea City is in chaos. You’ll understand the extent of the disorder once you go out for a stroll tomorrow."

The streets were teeming with frenzied people; it was a mess beyond description.

Gu Yingzhou furrowed his brows and inquired about his maternal grandparents, "What exactly happened to my grandparents?"

At that time, when he left Tangtang’s house to head for the train station, Lun Nengneng en route to find him intercepted him.

Lun Nengneng brought the news that the Ruan family’s old couple were in trouble, and he, originally planning to go to Jing City, took his friend’s ride and changed course for Sea City instead.

He had intended to let Tangtang know once he got to Sea City, but immediately upon arrival, he found out about the train accident and that he needed to avoid the prying eyes of certain individuals.

If there was one word to describe his mood, it would be – damn frustrating!

Chen Feng said, "The Ruan grandparents have been targeted by that madwoman, Wan Manzhu. That lunatic has been sending people to bother them every other day, making the old couple’s life miserable. They’ve lost weight dramatically within just a few days."

Wan Manzhu had teamed up with someone that even he had to respect.

"Wan Manzhu?" Gu Yingzhou hadn’t anticipated hearing this name at this time. A chilling intent leaked from the depths of his eyes, rendering the air almost static.

"I understand, thank you."

Chen Feng waved a hand dismissively, "I can’t help much, just don’t think of me as useless."

"Useless? Since when have you had such quick reactions?" Gu Yingzhou shot back, biting a cigarette that he didn’t light, his fierce eyes barely squinting as plans formed in his mind.

Chen Feng’s mouth twitched, "Are you seriously comparing me to trash? Isn’t that a bit too harsh?"

"Really?" Gu Yingzhou raised an eyebrow, his tone nonchalant, "I didn’t notice, sorry."

His fingertips tapped on the table out of habit, he then asked, "When can I make that call?"

As he spoke, he returned to the newspaper.

The image of the disheveled girl on there felt like knives repeatedly stabbing at his heart.

His little girl was so particular about cleanliness, yet now she hadn’t even bothered to wipe off the dirt on her, which spoke volumes about how worried she was for him.

At this thought, Gu Yingzhou’s grip on the newspaper tightened slightly.

Chen Feng knew his thoughts and sought to avenge his earlier insult, deliberately saying, "What? Worried about your fiancée?"

He then spoke in a taunting tone, "Want me to help you, beg me!"

Lun Nengneng watched his attempt at courting death, picked up his teacup, stood up, and swiftly moved five steps away.

"Heh," Gu Yingzhou chuckled, his tone calm and unflustered, "...I’m begging you."

The moment the words fell...

"Thump!" Before Chen Feng could react, he was flung onto the floor, his rear end aching tremendously.

From a commanding position, Gu Yingzhou looked down at him and said coolly, "Ah, thanks. I’ll make sure to call my fiancée by nine o’clock at the latest."

After saying so, he picked up his luggage and turned toward Lun Nengneng.

"Where am I staying?" he asked.

His breathing was steady, his eyes bright and handsome as if he were a distinguished young master, betraying no hint of the fact he’d just flung a full-grown man to the ground with one hand just seconds before.

"...I’ll show you," said Lun Nengneng. After casting a glance at the pitiful Chen Feng, he behaved uprightly and properly.

Lun Nengneng: "...I was really scared at that moment."

Chen Feng, recovering from his shock and rubbing his sore bottom, growled, "Gu Yingzhou, I’m going to..."

"Hard to imagine you have such tastes," Gu Yingzhou’s haunting voice came through, with a hint of disdain, "I’m not interested in you."

Chen Feng’s face turned red with indignation, "..."

Lun Nengneng, with his back to him and not turning around, shrugged his shoulders to suppress his laughter.

Seeing Gu Yingzhou glance his way, he quickly composed himself and sycophantically opened the door to a room for him.

"I’ve cleaned this room for you, and all the bedsheets are fresh. Is there anything else you need?"

Gu Yingzhou: "Thank you."

"Don’t mention it. Get some rest, I’m going to run out and get some stuff," Lun Nengneng said as he left the room.

And he closed the door behind him.

He knew Yingzhou probably needed a moment to himself.

As soon as Lun Nengneng stepped out, he met Chen Feng’s worried gaze.

Chen Feng glanced into the room, lowered his voice and asked, "All good?"
