d more agitated. "Even as a cripple, he can build an empire from nothing. His Chi Yao Group's market value and annual profits far surpass the profits of the Gu family subsidiary I manage. That's all i...Overjoyed, Gu Chi couldn't help but feel a little puzzled. Why was she the only one here Where was Ke Xin

"Qiu Yue!" Gu Chi walked up to her and called out her name, "How come you're the only one here Wasn't Ke Xin with you when you came out Where is she"

Suddenly hearing someone's voice, Qiu Yue was startled and hurriedly turned her head back. When she saw that it was Gu Chi who had come looking for her, her heart skipped a beat. How could he have found this place

"Qiu Yue scrambled to sit up from the stone, her face betraying an unmistakable panic. "Gu, Gu Zong, how did you find me here"

Seeing Qiu Yue's reaction, Gu Chi's heart became a little wary. His tone of voice also turned stern, "Aren't you and Ke Xin together Where is she now"

"I, I don't know," Qiu Yue hurriedly searched her brain for an excuse. "My friend and I, we got separated, so I'm waiting here for her. I have no idea where she went."

Fearing that everyone would ask about Cheng Kexin's whereabouts when she returned, Qiu Yue deliberately hid here, planning to wait until later before going back. That way, if anyone asked, she could say that she and Cheng Kexin had gone to find Xiaomei separately but got separated. She had looked everywhere for Cheng Kexin but couldn't find her, so she had to come back first.

She hadn't expected Gu Chi to find her so quickly. For a moment, she was caught off guard and responded in a flustered manner.

Hearing Qiu Yue's incoherent words, Gu Chi became even more suspicious of her. If she had really gotten lost with Ke Xin, she should have been happy to see him now, instead of being so nervous and afraid.

Five years ago, before he divorced, he had heard Cheng KeXin mention that Qiu Yue from the magazine company and she didn't get along. Their relationship could be described as terrible. Now seeing Qiu Yue react this way, could it be that she had done something to Cheng KeXin

Thinking of this, Gu Chi took a step forward and approached Qiu Yue. His voice was rough as he relentlessly questioned her, "You really don't know where Ke Xin went How did the two of you get separated!"

“We, we’ve been unable to find Xiaomei. Ke Xin is very worried, saying that the two of them working together are too slow, so, so the two of us decided to search separately. As a result, as a result, I couldn't find her later, only, only able to wait here.”

Being addressed by Gu Chi's tone startled QIU Yue. Her heart was already pounding with guilt, and now she became even more nervous, speaking in a trembling voice that lacked conviction, let alone the ability to deceive Gu Chi.

"Say, where is Cheng Ke Xin exactly You really don't know!" Gu Chi raised his voice, his face full of ferocity as he asked, "I warn you, don't lie to me. Otherwise, I absolutely won't let you go!"

Gu Zhi had always been in a position of power, and now he was letting all his anger out. How could someone like Qiu Yue, a nobody, possibly withstand it

For a moment, Qiu Yue was so frightened that she lost her composure and cried out in despair, "She was so heartless to you before, why do you still care about her so much!"

Hearing Qiu Yue say that, Gu Chi was almost certain she definitely knew where Cheng Ke Xin was.

When she arrived, Xiaomei said that she hadn't called for help at all. Then how did Qiu Yue hear the cries for help Perhaps she deliberately tricked Cheng Kexin into coming out.

He grabbed Qiu Yue's collar, Gu Chi's eyes were full of malice, "Where did you take Cheng Ke Xin Tell me the truth! I warn you, if anything happens to her, I swear I won't let you have a good life, I keep my word!"

Feeling Gu Chi's anger so close, Qiu Yue's whole body was trembling uncontrollably. Her heart could no longer bear this kind of pressure.

"I said, I said," Qiu Yue choked out, her voice trembling as she pointed in a direction. "Cheng Kexin, she's... she's in a pit over there. You can see it if you keep walking forward."

"It was you who pushed her down!" Gu Chi's anger surged throughout his body.

“I, I…” Qiu Yue wanted to say no, but looking at Gu Chi’s fierce expression, her teeth chattered up and down, she couldn't utter a word of denial.

He threw Qiu Yue aside and pointed at her, saying, “I’ll settle with you later!”

Following Qiu Yue's direction just now, Gu Chi took big strides forward, afraid that if he was late, Cheng Ke Xin would suffer some unforeseen harm.

Thinking about Gu Chi's last words, Qiu Yue's heart couldn't suppress the fear. With Gu Chi's status, saying he wouldn't let her go, could she still stay at the magazine

No, don't even mention delaying things. If Cheng Keqin really gets rescued, she will definitely get me fired and might even sue me! Causing intentional harm means going to jail, right

Thinking of this, Qiu Yue hurriedly got up and staggered towards the camp. She couldn't stay here any longer; she had to leave before the two of them returned!

At this time, Cheng Kexin was trying to find a way out of the big pit, but the pit was really too high. She stood on one side and wanted to climb up, but she found that no matter what she did, she couldn't do it.

The excruciating pain shooting up her leg forced her to sit down. She took off her shoes, and gasped—her entire foot was swollen. No wonder; she'd twisted it when she fell, and had been hopping around for what felt like an eternity since then.

Now the sky was almost dark, and the temperature in the forest dropped quickly. Soon, Cheng Ke Xin shivered from the cold.

I wonder how Qiu Yue will explain her whereabouts to everyone when she goes back. Will they come looking for her Could she really spend the night in this cave What if a wild animal comes out suddenly in the middle of the night

As Cheng Kexin thought about these nonsensical questions, she became more and more afraid. What if everyone couldn't find her What if she died here

No, absolutely not! She has a baby to take care of, she can't possibly get into anything.

Hurriedly pulling out her phone, Cheng Ke Xin found there was still no signal. Angrily tossing the phone aside, she held onto a sliver of hope that someone might pass by and shouted towards the opening: "Is anyone there Someone fell down here, help! Is anyone there!"

She cried out repeatedly, her voice hoarse from overuse, but she never received a response.

Without any insulation here, she would probably freeze to death tonight. Moreover, the pain in her injured foot seemed to be getting worse. Cheng KeXin was enveloped in a feeling of utter despair.

When Cheng Keixin had already given up all hope, a familiar voice suddenly rang out anxiously from above, "Keixin, what's wrong Are you alright"

Finally, someone came to look for her Cheng Kexin's heart instantly filled with hope, she looked up in surprise and saw Gu Chi squatting at the entrance of the cave, looking at her with worry.ead with nightmares.Because he had someone more important.……The next day, the weekend.Gu Chi had a meeting and wasn't home.
