Chapter 1188: Chapter 1188: Everyone Acts the Hero to Save the Beauty

"Alright, we’re safe now!" Gu Ling took Lin Yue to a place she believed to be safe, and Lin Yue expressed his gratitude. Then they realized their hands were still clasped together and immediately separated in embarrassment.

Lin Yue quickly changed the subject, "About today, I hope you can keep it a secret for me. I don’t want my sister to worry about me."

"This..." Gu Ling pretended to be troubled, to hide the previous awkwardness.

Just then, Lin Yue’s phone rang. It was Sister Hong calling, and his brow furrowed, wondering what Sister Hong could possibly want at this time.

With a try-and-see attitude, Lin Yue answered the call, "Hello, Sister Hong, I don’t know how to explain this to you, but I really didn’t betray the gang. I do know Su Hui, but I absolutely didn’t reveal anything about the gang to her."

Sister Hong’s indifferent voice came through the phone, "I’m sorry Lin Yue, but you’re currently the biggest suspect, and I must provide an explanation to the gang. You should come back obediently; don’t force me to make a cruel decision."

Lin Yue became anxious, "Sister Hong, you’re not thinking of harming my family, are you? Have you forgotten that you once came home with me to meet my parents? If you do this, our relationship is truly over."

Yet Sister Hong remained cold, "Then consider it as having the affinity but not the shared destiny. What I value more is the gang, because the gang isn’t just about me; I can only do something I’m sorry for."

"Sister Hong, if you dare touch my parents, I will never forgive you," Lin Yue threatened, finally seeing the gang’s true colors.

Sister Hong chuckled dismissively, "Let’s not engage in this pointless argument. Your sister is in my hands now. If you don’t want her to get hurt, you better come over quickly. I’m giving you two hours, I’ll send you the address."

"What, you’ve taken my sister? How could you..." Lin Yue panicked, but Sister Hong hung up the call before he had a chance to resist.

Seeing Lin Yue’s look of panic and anxiety, Gu Ling asked, "Did someone kidnap Sister Lin Xi? It seems like it was your gang."

Lin Yue nodded stiffly, "That’s right, it was done by our gang. It’s my fault. I’ll take full responsibility for this. Please don’t tell anyone else."

"Let me ask, is everyone in your gang ordinary people?" Gu Ling’s question was somewhat strange.

Not understanding the implication, Lin Yue simply replied, "Of course, they’re all ordinary people."

"Ordinary people? I doubt it," Gu Ling said, clearly skeptical. That was to be expected, as it would be a tall tale to suggest ordinary people could capture Lin Xi unless they drugged her into unconsciousness. Still, once Lin Xi woke up, she would completely upend the enemy’s turf.

Then Sister Hong sent over a video. It showed Lin Xi tied to a chair, looking for all the world like she was truly being held hostage by the gang. However, Gu Ling and Lin Yue watched in astonishment because Lin Xi looked utterly bored, even contemptuous as she eyed the surrounding men.

Gu Ling quickly figured it out; Lin Xi must have allowed herself to be captured deliberately. There was no need to worry about Lin Xi.

But Lin Yue was distressed; seeing the address Sister Hong had sent, he decided to rescue his sister.

"I’ll come with you," Gu Ling offered, but Lin Yue refused. In his eyes, both Gu Ling and Lin Xi were delicate women; if one wasn’t saved, then the other might be drawn into the mess, and then it would be even harder to face Gu Fan.

Of course, Lin Yue didn’t plan to fight alone. He tried calling the Hunter, hoping for assistance, but the line wouldn’t connect, adding to his anxiety. It was because, a few days earlier, the Hunter had mentioned going into seclusion for training and asked not to be disturbed unless it was essential.

Now it was an emergency, and Lin Yue was restless, praying silently, "Master, I hope you didn’t choose a place with bad phone reception for your retreat."

With no time to waste, Lin Yue headed to the address given by Sister Hong while trying to get in touch with the Hunter.

Gu Ling watched as Lin Yue jumped into a taxi and left, then immediately dialed Gu Fan’s number, "Bro, I’ve got big news. Your future wife has been kidnapped by your future brother-in-law’s gang. Now your future brother-in-law has broken with the gang and is rushing to rescue your future wife, aka my future sister-in-law, and the future lady of our old house."

There was a silence on the other end before Gu Fan criticized, "What a mess. Can’t you speak plainly and directly? It’s just that Lin Yue’s gang has taken Lin Xi hostage to force Lin Yue to comply, right?"

"Exactly, that’s what I meant," Gu Ling said, trying to suppress a laugh as she imagined Gu Fan rolling his eyes.

"As if Lin Yue’s gang could actually capture Lin Xi." Gu Fan also found it hard to believe, and after hearing Gu Ling’s report, it felt to him like Lin Xi had allowed herself to be captured on purpose.

Even though he didn’t know the full situation, Gu Fan couldn’t ignore it, but he didn’t know where Lin Xi was being held.

Gu Ling couldn’t help but feel smug, "Bro, that’s the real reason I called you, because I saw the address sent by the gang to Lin Yue. You should reward me for this."

Gu Fan immediately rebuked, "Rescuing your future sister-in-law, of course you should help. How can you ask for a reward?"

"With my future sister-in-law being so formidable, does she need rescuing? It’s more like now you’re aware your future wife is in a bit of trouble, yet you’re not doing anything. How are you going to live with that later?" Gu Ling said, feigning sympathy.

"You’re really spoiled..." Gu Fan sighed hopelessly, then agreed, "Alright, alright, tell me the address. If I’m successful as the hero to the rescue, I will fulfill one of your requests."

Gu Ling grinned, "What, the safety of my future sister-in-law is worth only one request? Bro, that’s not very nice."

"Now you’re being greedy. Your future sister-in-law isn’t in danger, just a little trouble. If you won’t tell me, just forget it," Gu Fan couldn’t stand it anymore, but Gu Ling wisely backed off, "Alright, don’t be mad, just one request. I am your dear sister after all, and of course I have to look out for your happiness. I’ll send the address right away. But after your heroic rescue, make sure I get credit; next time my future sister-in-law goes shopping, just give her a little extra money."

Gu Fan really wanted to scoff at her face-to-face, but all he could muster was, "Alright, thanks, my good sister. Having you to think for me is a boundless comfort."
