Chapter 535
Gu Yan Sheng walked up to Ye Jinghuai and An Nuan.
"Let her go!" Gu Yan Sheng's cold voice threatened.
Yet Ye Jinghuai held An Nuan tighter.
"I'll count to three," Gu Yan Sheng said. "After three, Ye Jinghuai, you should know the consequences."
Ye Jinghuai didn't move.
An Nuan, however, began to panic at that moment.
The so-called consequences.
The consequences that Ye Jinghuai knew about, were they because of what he often endured in prison?
She pushed against Ye Jinghuai's body, "Let me go, he wouldn't dare do anything to me..."
Yet Ye Jinghuai wouldn't let go.
He firmly held her, entrapping her within his own body, unmoved.
"Ye Jinghuai... ah!" An Nuan suddenly screamed.
Because she felt the force from behind.
A heavy kick, because it hit Ye Jinghuai's body, and also caused An Nuan to sustain some impact.
She wasn't in pain.
But Ye Jinghuai must have been in excruciating pain.
Her tears fell frantically.
At that moment, she felt Gu Yan Sheng's foot, kicking at Ye Jinghuai wildly, one kick after another.
She didn't know how long it went on for.
Ye Jinghuai held An Nuan's body, still not letting go.
He endured all of Gu Yan Sheng's torment, shielding An Nuan beneath him.
"Let me go, Ye Jinghuai let me go, Gu Yan Sheng really won't do anything to me..." An Nuan protested through her tears.
She didn't want Ye Jinghuai to protect her like this. She didn't want it.
She was afraid that if Gu Yan Sheng kept beating him like this, Ye Jinghuai might die.
Just the thought of Ye Jinghuai possibly dying...
She truly felt as if she had been hollowed out, her entire body shrouded only in fear, immense fear.
"Ye Jinghuai, I beg you, let me go, let me go!" An Nuan pleaded again and again.
Ye Jinghuai's enduring body, he said, "Dead or alive, I won't let go."
"What will I do if you die?"
"Remarry."
"Ye Jinghuai!" An Nuan's tears streamed down.
Who the hell would want to remarry?
"**." Ye Jinghuai spoke in an extremely low voice near An Nuan's ear.
His lips were by her ear, his voice so low that An Nuan couldn't even make out what he said.
But it was clear that at that moment, Ye Jinghuai was conveying a message to her.
She looked up, wanting Ye Jinghuai to say it again.
But she saw Ye Jinghuai's pained expression, and he gestured with his eyes.
An Nuan immediately realized.
There were surveillance cameras here.
All their conversations, the cameras would see, and could reconstruct their dialogue.
Ye Jinghuai couldn't speak too loudly.
And at this moment.
Gu Yan Sheng was brutally beating Ye Jinghuai, and didn't notice their conversation at all.
He was venting all his rage on Ye Jinghuai's body, completely forgetting that in doing so, he gave An Nuan and Ye Jinghuai the opportunity to speak privately.
Of course, he didn't mind either.
After all, he could watch the video later.
But now, he was tired from the beating.
After venting his rage madly, Gu Yan Sheng leaned against the wall to catch his breath.
He truly hadn't expected that Ye Jinghuai would protect An Nuan even at the cost of his life.
If it were him...
Gu Yan Sheng gritted his teeth.
He would only watch as An Nuan went to her death.
So.
He didn't really love An Nuan at all.
Towards this woman, he only had a possessive desire.
He said, "Ye Jinghuai, you might be able to protect her for a time, but can you protect her for a lifetime?"
Ye Jinghuai straightened his body.
Even though he had been beaten to the point where his body was in tatters, he still stood upright before Gu Yan Sheng.
Gu Yan Sheng frowned.
He hadn't expected that Ye Jinghuai would still be able to act so haughty before him.
His expression darkened.
He couldn't stand seeing Ye Jinghuai look so superior in his presence.
He stepped forward, intending to kick him again.
"If I die, will you pay the price?" Ye Jinghuai's unhurried voice carried immense force.
Gu Yan Sheng's foot froze mid-air.
He also knew.
Ye Jinghuai's current physical condition.
When he came to see Ye Jinghuai, the prison guard had told him that Ye Jinghuai's health was extremely poor, and it would be easy for him to really die.
He restrained himself.
"You and An Nuan really are a match made in heaven, able to find a way to survive no matter the circumstances!"
Ye Jinghuai showed no reaction to Gu Yan Sheng's restraint.
He stated bluntly, "Gu Yan Sheng, let me advise you, before the court has completely tried the case, you'd better not take revenge prematurely! Otherwise, if any accident were to happen, you'll be solely responsible!"
"You dare threaten me!"
"Believe it or not, it's up to you."
Gu Yan Sheng clenched his fists.
At that moment, Ye Jinghuai no longer focused his gaze on Gu Yan Sheng, but turned towards An Nuan and said, "Go back soon."
An Nuan nodded.
She didn't leave.
The one suffering torment was Ye Jinghuai.
Her eyes were red and swollen, but without a second's hesitation, she ran out.
Gu Yan Sheng's eyes narrowed.
He had intended to torment them further.
But then he thought about Di Xinyao waiting at home, and worried that if he returned too late, she might notice something amiss. That wouldn't be easy to explain.
He restrained himself.
Gu Yan Sheng also left.
The iron door was slammed shut.
In the cold, narrow space, only Ye Jinghuai remained.
Ye Jinghuai still stood there.
Upright.
One second, two seconds, three seconds...
Finally, he collapsed heavily onto the ground.
He stared at the dim light ahead.
His vision grew darker and darker.
...
An Nuan ran out of the detention center in one breath.
The cold wind struck her from outside.
An Nuan truly couldn't feel the chill.
She just stood at the entrance, waiting for Gu Yan Sheng.
When Gu Yan Sheng left, he had given her specific instructions.
First, check the surveillance footage to see if Ye Jinghuai and An Nuan said anything while they were embracing.
Second, don't let Ye Jinghuai die.
Third, delete all traces of their visit, including all video footage.
After giving these instructions, he walked out unhurriedly.
As soon as he came out, he saw An Nuan standing in front of his car, wearing only a white camisole.
In the darkness.
He felt this woman seemed very lonely.
So lonely that he wanted to approach her.
But in the end.
Gu Yan Sheng only sneered derisively.
What Ye Jinghuai had said made a lot of sense.
Before the case was concluded in court, he would be solely responsible if anything happened.
Rather than act so impulsively now, it would be better to wait a month or two.
After all.
He had claimed An Nuan for himself.
Once he had had his fill of her, he would make her die a gruesome death!
Gu Yan Sheng got into the driver's seat and started the car.
An Nuan sat in the back seat.
The car drove off.
It was very quiet inside.
At the moment, Gu Yan Sheng only wanted to get home quickly, and didn't want to expend any more energy on An Nuan.
He had to admit that this woman's allure had exceeded his control over his own body, so he needed to treat her coldly.
Of course, the main point was.
An Nuan had gone to great lengths to meet Ye Jinghuai today, but not only did she gain nothing, she also subjected them both to physical and mental torment.
No matter how you looked at it, he had won this round!
So he didn't need to bother with this woman anymore!
