Chapter 203: Chapter 203 Escape

An Yan watched as Zhou Ziqiao took off her cute-style dress, feeling a deep sense of gratitude.

Although the girl was fiery and willful, she was also clear-cut about right and wrong and warm-hearted.

An Yan grasped her hand, "Thank you."

Zhou Ziqiao blinked her big eyes, "Don’t mention it, I’m just doing what little I can. Brother Chengming, ugh, Gu Chengming is just a big jerk, I’ll never like him again. People like him should be punished by the law and be despised by everyone in the world. Hurry up and change; I’m really worried he might come back any minute."

An Yan nodded, quickly changed clothes, tied her hair into a ponytail just like Zhou Ziqiao’s, put on sunglasses, and grabbed her bag.

"You should hurry up and leave too."

Zhou Ziqiao changed into An Yan’s dress as well, "Sure, I wish you safety."

An Yan nodded slightly, sincerely thanked her, hugged her, took the car keys, and turned to leave.

She pretended to be the arrogant Zhou Ziqiao as she went downstairs, heading straight for the main entrance.

A servant called out from behind, "Miss Zhou, you’re leaving so soon?"

Of course, An Yan couldn’t hear him; she dashed out the door, got into the car, and sped away.

The servant began to doubt, muttering to herself, "How come Miss Zhou suddenly came and left? She didn’t even respond?"

Qingqing walked over with her hands behind her back, "Miss Zhou is a young lady from a rich family; naturally, she comes and goes as she pleases. And why should she deign to answer you anyway? You’re just a servant after all."

The servant didn’t dare to retort against Qingqing, who worked for the lady of the manor and was of much higher status.

Despite her dissatisfaction, the servant could only leave sulkily.

Qingqing walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, watching the car drive out of the carved gates, her lips curling slightly.

She had kept the engagement banquet a secret from Miss Mu, feeling guilty about it, so now she considered this her way of making it up to her.

Today Zhou Ziqiao had driven a low-profile black Volkswagen, which was particularly inconspicuous in the traffic.

But An Yan didn’t dare to be careless; she still wore her sunglasses, pushed the accelerator, and drove towards Spine Bridge.

Her brothers were waiting for her there.

Meanwhile, a black Bentley passed in the opposite lane.

As the two cars brushed past each other, the man in the back seat was looking down at the documents and seals in his hands, the smile on his lips unwavering.

Gu Chengming had finally gotten what he wanted.

Zero Organization, the world’s most powerful private organization, controlled seventy percent of the global weapons trade.

To become the leader of Zero Organization meant he would possess infinite wealth and the power to control the world.

The assistant glanced over the rearview mirror and smiled, "Congratulations President Gu on realizing your wish, but do you really plan to marry Miss An Yan?"

Gu Chengming was in a good mood and willing to chat more, "Of course, An Yan is the most courageous and charismatic woman I’ve ever met."

The assistant, aware of Gu Chengming’s esteemed status, couldn’t help but express his feelings, "With such a noble status as yours, even marrying a princess would be possible. Forgive my frankness, but the child in Miss An Yan’s stomach..."

Gu Chengming smiled faintly, "Let’s keep it for now. She has a fiery temper. Once Fu Shiyan is dead and the child in her stomach is gone, she will transfer her love after she gets pregnant with my child."

The assistant thought Gu Chengming was quite devoted and obsessed, considering he could have any kind of woman he wanted.

Twenty minutes later, the Bentley crossed paths with a black Maybach.

The driver couldn’t help but take a second glance, since Bogelin Manor and the surrounding area was a private estate.

That second glance was a mistake. He frowned deeply, "President Gu, that Maybach is yours."

Gu Chengming looked back, his heart having some suspicions, "Turn around and follow it."

He initiated a video call with An Yan, only to discover that he had been blacklisted.

In his anger, he called the manor’s landline, and a housekeeper answered the phone.

"Is Mu Yan there?"

The housekeeper, previously chastised by Qingqing, replied, "Young Master, Miss Mu Yan and Qingqing have driven out."

Recalling Qingqing’s scolding, the housekeeper’s eyes shifted as she exaggerated, "It’s just that I feel something isn’t right. Miss Zhou came earlier, but she left after only a few minutes. When she was at the door, I called out to her but she didn’t respond to me. I felt something was off, but Qingqing told me not to be nosy."

Gu Chengming hung up abruptly and dialed Zhou Ziqiao’s number.

This was the first time in his life that Zhou Ziqiao rejected his call.

He ran his tongue over his cheek and said in a cold voice, "Catch up with that car."

The assistant floored the accelerator to chase it down.

The Maybach also sped up, while four black Volkswagens emerged from both sides of the road, surrounding the Maybach and blocking the Bentley’s path.

Gu Chengming ground his teeth and made a call.

Soon, tall spike strips were erected at the intersection ahead, and more than a dozen armed men in black stood there, forcing the cars to a halt.

From each Volkswagen, five bodyguards emerged to protect the Maybach securely.

The Bentley stopped, and Gu Chengming got out of the car.

He swept his cold gaze around, and the men in black surrounded the group, aiming their weapons at them.

Gu Chengming sent a voice message to Zhou Ziqiao: Get out of the car now, or I will annihilate you all.

Inside the Maybach, Zhou Ziqiao’s hands trembled; she had never seen such a display of force.

After she played the voice message, the man’s icy voice echoed inside the car.

She swallowed hard and looked at Qingqing in the driver’s seat, "Are you scared?"

Qingqing nodded, "To tell you the truth, I am really scared because I’ve heard that those who previously stole from the manor had their limbs broken. Now that we’ve released Miss An Yan on our own, I guess we might be turned into human pigs."

Zhou Ziqiao sniffled, "Pity that I, so young, have to die. But, as it is appointed for men to die once, some deaths are as weighty as Mount Tai, while others are as light as a feather. I am doing this for a just cause, so it’s worth it. You don’t need to get out of the car later, I’ll take all the blame. If you escape, tell my dad to avenge me."

Qingqing’s eyes reddened, "I never knew you were this kind of person, Miss Zhou."

Zhou Ziqiao shed a couple of tears, "Actually, I’m really scared." Saying this, she pushed the door open and got out.

She pushed past the bodyguards and the men in black with their heavy arms.

She looked bold and fearless, but inside, she was panicking.

Standing before Gu Chengming, she said, "President Gu, it was my idea to let An Yan go. It has nothing to do with the others! I alone am responsible for this deed!"

Gu Chengming frowned, "President Gu?"

"Gu Chengming, you big bastard!"

Gu Chengming glared at her with cold eyes, "You really are tired of living."

Zhou Ziqiao faced death squarely, "Then kill me! Let them go! None of this has anything to do with them!"

All of a sudden, Gu Chengming reached out and grabbed her by the throat, his eyes unable to conceal his murderous intent, "Where did An Yan go?"

Zhou Ziqiao looked at the man’s indifferent expression, a stark contrast to his usual cultured and gentle demeanor, thinking he was really good at pretending.

Her fingernails dug into the back of his hand. "I won’t tell you! You devil!"

Gu Chengming smirked, "The devil? Then I’ll show you what a real devil is like! Tell me, if I use you to threaten An Yan, will she come to save you?"
