The man carried Wen Xinya into the car. Although he was watching from afar, Xu Zhenyu could feel the warmth and care the man had for her. As he his chest tightened and a pang of pain hit his heart., tears cascaded down his cheeks uncontrollably from the pain as if something was threatening to claw out of his heart.
He might have missed her by just 5 minutes, but it resulted in what felt like an eternal loss to him.
He was the one who thought of the possibility that Xinya was here first. However, he could only search aimlessly at the mountain since the place was completely new to him. Every second that passed by was torturous to him, slowly driving him mad. He called every number in his phone helplessly, begging for the hope that someone would know the specific location of this stone house.
When the blinding headlights lit up the mountain forest, he followed it only to be caught by a group of men in black uniform, and was forced to watch her be carried into a car in the arms of someone else!
“Wen Xinya!” He shouted towards her direction as he put up a struggle, wanting to check if she was okay.
“Answer me honestly.” A man in black ordered as he grabbed his arm.
“Let me go!” Xu Zhenyu turned his body out of the blue, sending a kick flying towards him.
Out of his expectations, the man was a strong fighter. In the blink of an eye, he strongly kicked Xu Zhenyu’s leg.
Xu Zhenyu keeled over in pain after receiving the hit. He had always taken pride in his ability to fight, yet he was unable to fight back. This was a massive blow to him.
“Wen Xinya!” Xu Zhenyu crawled weakly on the ground, the dirt staining him. This was the first time ever that he felt such hatred towards himself for being weak.
“Who the hell are you people? Where are you taking Wen Xinya? I’m her friend, can’t you let me check on her?” Xu Zhenyu put down his pride and asked weakly.
“Save your questions. We are here to save your friend, we will not do anything to harm her.” The man in black answered him expressionlessly.
Xu Zhenyu angrily replied, “How do I know that you guys are not cheating me? Let me see her!”
The man in black ignored him.
In a flash, Xu Zhenyu grabbed a handful of dirt and threw it at the man in black. The man backed away a few steps instinctively, and Xu Zhenyu took the chance to get up and chase after the car in front.
“Quick! Stop him!” The man in black commanded the others as he ran after him hurriedly.
A person’s potential is limitless. Xu Zhenyu was stopped by a few men in black. Yet, his eyes flashed with hatred, and with unstoppable force, he pushed away two men.
These men must be looking down on Xu Zhenyu after he was caught previously!
“Wen Xinya, don’t leave with him!” Xu Zhenyu shouted as he ran.
Si Yiyan had just carried Wen Xinya into the car when he noticed the commotion outside. Within moments, he saw Xu Zhenyu rushing over like a bull.
He frowned slightly, and his fingers gently slid across the red diamond on Wen Xinya’s left ear. A wave of unreadable emotions flashed across his face.
Xu Zhenyu rushed over to the car in a short while and knocked on the door relentlessly. “Wen Xinya! Wen Xinya! Are you okay? Answer me…”
Si Yiyan slowly rolled down the window. His eyes narrowed into a smile and he beamed. “Xu Zhenyu!”
Xu Zhenyu was paralyzed with shock. The bright light in the car lit up his face, and the darkness from outside cast a shadow on the contours of his face, making him look dark and somber. His beauty was breathtaking yet had a certain coldness to it that chilled the heart. His beautiful eyebrows were striking, and his lips were slightly thin but sharp. Although he was watching Xu Zhenyu quietly, he carried an air of nobility as if he stood above the world.
Suddenly, Xu Zhenyu felt vulnerable and inferior. “Who are you? Why are you taking Wen Xinya? I’m her friend, leave her to me!”
Xu Chenyu’s eyes fell on Wen Xinya who was lying on the man’s knees. Her clothes were fully intact, and there were not many signs of struggle on her body. The only thing was that her whole face was hidden in the shadows and could not be seen clearly. Seeing that she seemed to be fine, he heaved a sigh of relief.
“I’m a student of Old Mr. Mo. I’ve lived in the Mo house previously, and even taught Xinya calligraphy for a while.” Si Yiyan himself was unsure as to why he was explicitly introducing himself. It was as if he had the childish mentality to flaunt his relationship with Xinya to him.
He had investigated Xu Zhenyu’s background. Xu Zhenyu and Wen Xinya only met after he first knew Wen Xinya, yet Xu Zhenyu held a higher position in her heart as compared to him. Every time she felt lost or was deep in thought, she would subconsciously stroke the red diamond on her left ear.
Xu Zhenyu was the first person to make him feel threatened. However, it was not because of Xu Zhenyu’s identity, but rather the complicated feelings Wen Xinya had towards him.
Xu Zhenyu thought for a while. Wen Xinya had never mentioned this person to him before. “There’s no way Old Mr. Mo would have a student like you. Furthermore, Wen Xinya never once mentioned you to me.”
Although the man seemed to have a strong character and cold demeanor, he was obviously a man with a mysterious background. Why would a great scholar such as Old Mr. Mo take in a student like him?
Si Yiyan could not be bothered. Wanting to send Xinya to the hospital as soon as possible, he commanded. “Start the car, Gu Yuehan!”
Xu Zhenyu stiffened, and quickly said, “Don’t. How is Wen Xinya? I want to see her.”
“She is fine, she only fainted due to shock. I’m going to send her to the hospital now. Why don’t you just follow the car and come with us!” Si Yiyan’s voice carried clear rejection towards Xu Zhenyu, and he slowly rolled up the car window.
Suddenly, Xu Zhenyu intersected the rising glass window with his hand but was unable to stop it from moving. The car window automatically rolled down right before his hand was sandwiched between the window and the car top. “I want to see her!”
Si Yiyan raised his eyebrows and looked at him with contempt. His beautiful, slender hands reached out the window and grabbed his wrist. With a squeeze, Xu Zhenyu’s wrist went numb and released his hold on the window.
Gu Yuehan started the car and drove away within moments.
The car flew past him, leaving a trail of dust that covered him from head to toe. Xu Zhenyu gritted his teeth. They must have done it on purpose.
He kicked a nearby tree in rage and shouted: “Bastard!”
Watching the car driving further and further away, Xu Zhenyu quickly ran to his own car, intending to follow them to the hospital.
