Chapter 264: If you don’t believe it, that’s her business
The door was gently closed. Gu Mingxi's eyes were closed and he slowly opened them. He looked at the empty space beside him and gently touched it with his fingers. His body temperature and breath were still there.
After hesitating for a long time, she sat up and picked up the mobile phone beside her and dialed a number. Not long after the call was connected, a low voice escaped from her red lips, "Lin Mo, can you do me a favor?"
☆☆☆☆
The next day, evening.
Gu Mingxi and Long Pei took the same car to Yu Shou's villa. The address was located on a hillside in the suburbs, surrounded by mountains and green grass, and the environment was very beautiful.
The car stopped, and Mr. Long Pei got out of the car and opened the door for Gu Mingxi. She took his arm, and the two of them walked to the door of the villa together.
The butler came forward to greet them and said that Yu Shou was discussing something in the office and asked the two of them to wait. After serving tea, he quietly left.
Gu Mingxi drank tea carelessly, but her beautiful eyes were looking around Yu Shou's villa. Don't look at the paintings on the walls and the few inconspicuous antiques placed on them. Gu Mingxi recognized that those things seemed to be Chinese antiques.
The price is easily in the millions.
A mere mayor has become so luxurious. You can imagine how much oil the Yu family has privately sold and how much money they have hoarded.
What Gu Mingxi could notice, how could Long Pei not notice that his eyes were calm and cold. Even today, even his office may not be one thousandth as luxurious as Yu Shou's hall.
After a while, Yu Shou and a group of people came down from upstairs. There were about ten people, and Ji Ming was naturally among them.
Gu Mingxi and Long Pei stood up and greeted them one after another. Yu Shou was very happy to see Gu Mingxi and introduced Gu Mingxi's identity to them...
Everyone present was a man, but Gu Mingxi was a woman. With her outstanding appearance, she naturally attracted much attention.
Dinner was in the restaurant. A three-meter-long Italian gold-and-silver white table was covered with a white tablecloth. A retro candlestick was placed in the center. The silver tableware shimmered under the warm light.
When Gu Mingxi sat down, he was specially arranged next to Yu Shou. Sitting directly opposite was Ji Ming, and next to Ji Ming was Long Pei.
The people who come today either have positions in Yicheng or are affiliated with the Yu family. The one thing they all have in common is that they are people whom Yu Shou trusts.
The topics that men talk about when they are together are nothing more than money, power, and women, or because they see Yu Shou's preferential treatment to Gu Mingxi, he stops talking about pornographic remarks without saying anything too explicit.
There was a faint smile on Gu Mingxi's lips, and she maintained the good habit of keeping silent. She never took the initiative to participate in men's topics, unless she took the initiative to ask her, and answered a few words carefully.
After the meal, several men went to the living room to continue drinking and chatting.
Gu Mingxi got up and went to the bathroom. In a man's world, women can never get involved.
Before leaving, Long Pei glanced at Gu Mingxi subconsciously. He knew that she was not just going to the toilet.
Gu Mingxi felt that the layout of the villa was strange from the moment she entered it. It didn't look like an ordinary villa, but she couldn't explain what was wrong.
Enter the bathroom, the window is open, take off your high heels, lift up your skirt and browse barefoot through the window into the open room next door.
There is a camera at the end of the corridor. Once she leaves the bathroom, she will be under the surveillance of others. Although there are cameras outside the wall, there are many blind spots, making it easier for her to enter other places to check.
This room seemed to be unoccupied and uncleaned. The floor was covered with dust and had a strong smell of moisture.
Why is there a damp smell?
Her eyebrows furrowed slightly, and her eyes fell sharply on the bookshelf. There was dust on everything except the bookshelf. Isn't it too strange?
She walked over and put her hand on the dust-free mark of the bookshelf. With a little force, the bookshelf automatically opened, and below was a dark staircase...
Gu Mingxi finally understood why the layout was wrong. The small space downstairs was converted into a basement.
Holding up the skirt, I walked step by step on the cold and damp stone slabs. There was no light. I turned on the flashlight function of my phone and saw a woman chained up against the wall below.
A picture flashed through his mind, and his pace quickened.
The woman who lowered her head was stimulated by the bright light and slowly raised her head. She couldn't accept such a strong light for a while. She closed her eyes for a few seconds and slowly opened them again.
"Who are you?" The voice was rough and inarticulate.
Gu Mingxi looked at her quietly, a chill running up his spine from the soles of his feet. Isn't the woman in front of him the same woman in the video?
"Why are you imprisoned here?"
The woman did not answer. She stared at her facial features with dim eyes, looked at her carefully, and after a long time she said, "I know you."
"You know me?"
"The president's wife of country C, Gu Mingxi."
"You didn't answer my question." She is rarely exposed in front of the media. Not many people know what she looks like. Moreover, she has changed her appearance today. How did she know her.
The woman's aura was weak, her pale face was like a female ghost, she smiled ghostly, "Although you have changed your appearance, I still know you, Gu! Ming! Xi!"
The last sentence is word for word, every sound is pronounced very hard.
"You! Are! In the end! Still! Are! Coming!"
"You were the one who brought us here!" Dai Mei frowned, not knowing why she always felt that this matter was not that simple.
She still didn't answer, staring at her closely, "You are still with Long Pei."
A chill surged into her brows, and Gu Mingxi's fingers quickly pinched her neck, "Don't challenge my patience, who are you!"
Why were they brought here? Who was the person who brought them here? What was their purpose?
"...cough cough...cough cough..." She coughed rapidly, as if she wanted to cough out all her internal organs. She showed no fear in the face of Gu Mingxi's oppression, with a sneer at the corner of her mouth, "Do you want evidence of Yu Shou's crime?
?……I have!"
With a faint word, the strength in Gu Mingxi's fingertips suddenly dispersed, and he withdrew his hand. He looked at this half-human, half-ghost woman with inquiring eyes, not knowing what she wanted to do.
The "evidence of Yu Shou's guilt" she said may be true, otherwise Yu Shou would not be able to keep her alive until now.
"As long as you promise me one thing."
"explain."
"Kill Yu Shou, then kill me, and then... bury us together." There was not even despair in the calm voice, so natural and natural acceptance of death without any fear.
Gu Mingxi's eyes flickered, "Do you love him?"
"I don't love her." She smiled. If she hadn't been tortured for too long and had deformed, she would have been a very beautiful woman. "It's just... he's very nice to me."
Very good, very good, good and can't be betrayed, that's all.
"I don't understand." Gu Mingxi really didn't understand what was going on in this woman's mind.
"You don't need to understand, as long as you can do what you promised me." She panted, her pale face turned red because of her asthma, "I have known you for a long time... Gu Mingxi...
Long Pei begs Bo Yixin to give you Gu Mingxi, the top ten family scandals!"
His body suddenly stiffened, his eyes flashed with disbelief, and his voice was still cold, "You are from the elite force!"
Why did Bo Yixin place people from the elite force next to Yu Shou? In this complicated case, what role does E-State play now?
"You, like me, are both traitors to the motherland." There was a trace of sympathy in his eyes.
"No!" After a long silence, Gu Mingxi glanced at her, and his beautiful eyes met her sympathetic gaze coldly, making the sympathetic gaze become ridiculous and ironic, "I am different from you."
"My mother is from country E, but I grew up in country c. My hometown and my relatives are all in country c. I have never betrayed my family."
A motherland is only where home is, and country C is naturally her real motherland.
"Heh." She sneered and said meaningfully: "Really? It doesn't matter..."
"Where to put the things?" Gu Mingxi got straight to the point. If this matter is really related to e-country, how should he handle it?
She named a place.
Gu Mingxi didn't say anything more and turned around to leave. As for her request, if she really wanted it, she would be granted it.
"Gu Mingxi!" She suddenly said.
"What's up?"
She looked at Gu Mingxi who turned around, her stunning beauty in the dim light would make any woman envious and jealous, and drive countless men crazy.
"Take a good look at the people in Yicheng, take a good look at the sky in Yicheng, the people living here, and what happens here. If you don't take advantage of it now, it may be a lifelong regret for you."
This sentence has a strange and profound meaning, which is so mysterious that it is impossible to guess.
Gu Mingxi didn't speak and left quickly in silence. He stayed in the bathroom for too long and could easily arouse suspicion.
The woman watched the light on the stairs disappear little by little, but the corners of her mouth raised an ever wider arc.
This long and decaying life is finally coming to an end.
Sister Yixin, I did not complete your will because there are already so many unfortunate people in this world, why do we need one more Gu Mingxi.
This era will not change because of the people whose lives have disappeared.
☆☆☆☆
In the car, Gu Mingxi sat next to Long Pei. Since the driver was Yu Shou's, she didn't say anything. She just picked up her phone and sent a text message to Bai Yan, letting Long Pei see it.
Long Pei's eyes swept across them casually, and they exchanged glances with Gu Mingxi, understanding each other's thoughts.
Before the blade hidden in Gu Mingxi's handbag could slip out, the car suddenly braked. When her body tilted forward unexpectedly, Long Pei's big palm suddenly grabbed her arm and pulled her into his arms.
The moment the car stopped, Long Pei's hand holding the cell phone came out of nowhere and the black gun barrel didn't even aim, and the bullet penetrated the driver's head in an instant.
Gu Mingxi realized that the strong light outside the window was so harsh that he couldn't open his eyes, so he stretched out his hand to block it.
Too many things happened in a short period of ten seconds, and there was a dead body in the carriage. Long Pei looked calm from beginning to end, without even frowning, as if everything was under his control.
When they got off the bus, the front and rear were blocked by people. The person who got off the bus from the rear happened to be none other than the person who had just sent them out - Yu Shou.
"Brother Yu, what does this mean?" Gu Mingxi said quietly, without any ripples or emotions in his voice.
"Isn't this what I should ask you?" Yu Shou said with a smile and a very soft voice, "Your Excellency, Madam President."
It turned out that he had guessed their identities a long time ago, and tonight's banquet was just a game.
"Although you have changed your appearance and disguised yourself very well, Yu is not an ignorant person. You have just announced that you are going to travel abroad and you have arrived in Yicheng. This is too much of a coincidence."
Gu Mingxi pursed her thin lips and looked sideways at the man beside her.
Long Pei held her finger tightly, his dark eyes fell on Yu Shou, and his gloomy voice said without anger, "You are very smart... You are so smart that you are arrogant."
Knowing his identity and still daring to do this, should he be praised for his courage or for his stupidity?
Yu Shou smiled. There was no smile in his eyes. They were cold, dark, and filled with rotten filth. "Your Excellency, it's not the case."
Dare to come even though you know it's the den of dragons and tigers - you're asking for death.
"Don't compare you with him." The silent Gu Mingxi said, Yu Shou couldn't compare with one of Long Pei's fingers, and his cold eyes met Yu Shou, "You are not even qualified to compare with him."
Yu Shou's eyes flickered, and his tone became gloomy: "Madam, you have such a strong tone."
When Long Pei heard her defense of him, a smile appeared on his gloomy face. He liked the way she was, and she always protected his face and dignity in front of outsiders.
What a smart woman, any man would be happy if she did this.
"That's the truth." Gu Mingxi's tone of matter-of-factness, perhaps because of her unique beauty, did not make people think she was arrogant when she said these words, and she also recognized her words very much.
Yu Shou's face was gloomy, his eyes were as vicious as quenched poison, and he sneered and said: "I don't know whether to live or die! Do you think you are still in the capital? Hand over your things obediently, otherwise I am afraid that you will return to the capital without your life!"
"Really!" A deep voice rose, giving people a sense of unshakable security in the dark night. He put a big hand on Gu Mingxi's shoulder and shot an eagle eye at Yu Shou, "The Yu family's century-old foundation has been completely destroyed.
It's in your hands alone."
Yu Shou narrowed his eyes and snorted coldly, "I don't know what to say!" He raised his hand and directly ordered his subordinates to attack them.
What about the president, and what about the leader of a country? The Yu family has been guarding Yicheng for hundreds of years. They have long been the overlord of one side and have never paid attention to the so-called monarch. Now it was Long Pei who came to provoke him first, and he had no choice but to let Long Pei leave alive.
here.
What does the chaos of Country C have to do with him? Yicheng no longer needs the protection of Country C's army, and the life and death of others has nothing to do with him.
Gu Mingxi frowned, his face turned cold, and suddenly there was a gun in his hand, which was given to him by Long Pei. The two looked at each other and instantly understood each other's thoughts.
One in front and one behind, the two people's marksmanship is extremely accurate, killing them with one shot!
Gu Mingxi's first shot was aimed at Yu Shou, but the people next to him pulled Yu Shou out of the way. In an instant, lightning flashed, bullets rained, and gunpowder smoke filled the dark night.
"Call everyone over here!" Yu Shou roared angrily, but he didn't expect that just the two of them could be so powerful.
Gu Mingxi and Long Pei relied on the nearest car as a hiding spot to engage in a tug-of-war with each other. After hearing Yu Shou's words, Liu Xi's brows frowned slightly, and a sneer curled up at the corner of his mouth, fearing that he didn't have that many people available.
The Yu family has been in Yicheng for so many years and has raised a group of uncontrolled troops. There are about a thousand people in the city and the rest outside the city.
As early as last night, she told Bai Yan that if she contacted him today, she would immediately have the special forces annihilate the troops outside the city, and leave those in the city to Nan Si to deal with.
At this moment, who has time to support Yu Shou?
The glass was shattered all over the floor, and the piercing sound of gunshots startled the birds in the forest, which fluttered their wings and drew faint black shadows in the cool moonlight.
Long Pei had gone through special physical training and would not have any problems for a while, but Gu Mingxi was different. Her body was already weak, and she never entered the front line even if she joined the elite unit. After a while, fine sweat broke out on her forehead, reflecting the moonlight.
, cool and icy.
They don't have many bullets left. The situation is critical. If this continues, they may not be able to support rescue!
When Gu Mingxi was worrying about how to change the current situation, a dark figure emerged from the jungle. Bullets penetrated the foreheads of those people, and blood spilled out. The scene was not very brutal, but corpses were scattered on the ground, which was somewhat visceral to the eyes.
His eyes scanned around, but he couldn't find the specific location of the black shadow, and he couldn't even feel his breath.
This man is unfathomable.
Yu Shou couldn't stand it any longer. He called and couldn't find anyone for support. A wave of fear surged into his heart. He couldn't believe it. Could it be that the Yu family's foundation for so many years was going to be completely destroyed in less than two weeks?
!
No!
He doesn't believe it!
He immediately asked someone to escort him to escape into the forest on the other side. He had to stay alive. Only by staying alive would he have more possibilities.
When Gu Mingxi saw him running away, the woman's words were still echoing in his mind. Once A Pei found out about this matter and was involved with E Country, I'm afraid it would deepen the misunderstanding between him and Lin Mo!
Although she did not regard Country E as her motherland, Lin Mo was still a friend in her heart, especially her brother.
He immediately chased after her without hesitation. Long Pei narrowed his eyes and grabbed her hand, "Mingxi, it's dangerous!"
Gu Mingxi's peripheral vision caught sight of the dark shadow approaching from the jungle, "Protect Your Excellency, I'll be back soon!"
"Don't go!"
"I will definitely be back soon!" Gu Mingxi opened his hand, clutched the gun tightly with her fingers, and quickly kissed him on the cheek, and the beautiful figure quickly disappeared into the darkness.
"Gu Mingxi!" He wanted to stop her, but was stopped by a man walking out of the forest.
"leaf!"
"She has something she wants to do, why not let her do it?" Black Shadow said in a deep voice, with an indifferent tone.
Long Pei remained silent and did not answer.
He added: "You don't believe her, or don't you love her enough?"
If you don't believe it, why bring her here? If you don't love it enough, why let her participate.
He knew her selfishness and didn't need to see the imprisoned woman. The thing that made her so nervous about running away was probably related to country E.
He was looking forward to it, but he was also worried about it. He was looking forward to her performance, and he was also worried about her choice of country in the face of country and love.
The man named "Ye" reached out and patted him on the shoulder, "Believe her, I'll go with you and take a look, I will definitely not let anything happen to her!"
Long Pei pursed his lips tightly and nodded heavily.
☆☆☆☆
Gu Mingxi ran through the forest, quickly chasing after Yu Shou who was escaping. His heart seemed to be overwhelmed. He was panting, his whole body was soaked with sweat, and a gust of wind brought a biting chill.
Yu Shou's men turned around and fired as they ran, but failed to hit him. However, while running, their clothes were scratched by the branches that stretched out, leaving bloody traces on their skin.
Gu Mingxi used the moonlight to distinguish two figures, and fired two shots, both of which were fatal!
Yu Shou didn't pay attention when he ran, and he fell to the ground with a somersault. He turned around and stared at Gu Mingxi who was walking from the darkness, "Don't! Don't kill me! I'll give you as much as you want! I can give you everything I have."
!”
"I don't need it." Three steps away, Gu Mingxi stopped, pointed the cold barrel of the gun in his hand at Yu Shou's forehead, and said in a cold voice, "I just want you to answer me an honest question!"
"I said! No matter what you ask, I will tell you! As long as you don't kill me!" Yu Shou was already in a panic and exhausted.
"Did your private sale of Uicheng's oil involve E-country?"
"I said...the oil thing is actually..."
Yu Shou's voice suddenly stopped, and for a moment, there was a hole in Hanabi's forehead. Vermilion blood gradually poured out, and his body fell to the ground stiffly.
Gu Mingxi's face darkened, and she quickly stepped forward and grabbed his collar, "Yu Shou! Yu Shou! Answer my question..."
Yu Shou stared at her in horror with his eyes open, his breath gone...
Yu Shou is dead!
Suddenly, a black shadow quickly passed behind him. Gu Mingxi was startled and stood up quickly. The hand holding the gun tightened his strength, "Who!"
Who killed Yu Shou!
Gu Mingxi's body kept turning in different directions, and she was very alert. No matter which direction the opponent attacked from, she had to dodge immediately.
After a few seconds, there was no sign of any disturbance. Everything seemed to be due to her suspicion. Not long after, the dark figure came out with a dull voice, "...Mrs."
He was the one who saved her and Long Pei. Gu Mingxi breathed a sigh of relief and his arms suddenly dropped.
Ye glanced at her and then at Gu Mingxi, "Did you kill him?"
"No." She didn't know who killed him, and she didn't even see a shadow.
"Go back." After checking the place where Tai Shou died, he stood up and turned around to go back the way he came.
Gu Mingxi hesitated for a few seconds and followed his footsteps.
☆☆☆☆
Long Pei stood on the roadside, his features covered with moonlight indifference, his aura was overwhelming, and he was so cold that no one could get close to him.
When his eyes caught the figure walking out of the forest, he breathed a sigh of relief, strode forward and hugged Gu Mingxi in his arms, "Mingxi."
The man named "Ye" disappeared again at some point.
Gu Mingxi hugged his shoulders and whispered, "I'm fine."
Long Pei let go of her, took off his coat and put it on her body, "Dead?"
"Yes." Gu Mingxi nodded, "I don't know who killed him! Where is the woman in the villa?"
"Dead too."
Her heart suddenly tightened. Seeing that he was reluctant to speak, would the thing she least wanted to see happen after all?
"The evidence... points to country e?"
Long Pei didn't answer her, and the hand holding her shoulder couldn't help but tighten. She confirmed her speculation that the woman was an elite force, someone arranged by Bo Yixin, and the people who cooperated with Yu Shou were not only from E Country, but also
who.
"What are you going to do about it?"
"We'll talk about these things later." His tone was a little indifferent, and he took her hand and got into the car.
The crime of betraying the country was too serious. Using the evidence, we could only announce that the Yu family had laxly managed the oil mining rights and had accepted bribes. Since then, the oil mining rights had been taken back to the state. The Yu family had completely collapsed in Yicheng.
Although Bai Yan mobilized special forces outside the city to deal with it, and Nan Si was in the city, there would be more troubles after the Yu family was solved, and Long Pei could not just talk the talk.
He needs to immediately hold a video conference with the think tank to formulate a series of measures to deal with possible situations that may occur in the future.
So he sent Gu Mingxi back to the room without staying. He told her to have a good rest. He also ordered someone to send a medical kit over and treated her wounds personally while there was still some time.
Before leaving, he asked Gu Mingxi a question.
——How much do you believe in me?
When Long Pei said this, his expression was normal, but his tone was cold, and he looked at her with indescribable gloom and disappointment.
He had never looked at Gu Mingxi with such eyes.
He finally knew it.
Gu Mingxi sat on the sofa and couldn't help but arch her legs and hold her knees with her hands. Long Pei was so smart, how could he not know that he had asked someone from the e-country's elite force to help, otherwise Bai Yan's actions would not have been possible
So smooth and quick.
I knew that my actions were hurting him, but I couldn't help but do it.
On the one hand, she wanted to avoid misunderstandings between him and Huo Linmo, but on the other hand, she was worried about his safety. She wanted to make sure everything was normal and smooth.
I just didn't expect that it was still too late...
She felt a sigh of relief in her heart and felt very uncomfortable. After all, she was in a dilemma. Should she just watch Long Pei and Huo Linmo hate each other and the cracks become deeper and deeper?
Bo Yixin, why is it not enough for you to kill Yan'er? How much do you hate Ah Pei?
How much you hate me.
The room next to Gu Mingxi.
The cigarette butt on Long Pei's fingertips flickered brightly and dimly, and the white mist shrouded, blurring the cold outline.
Bai Yan put the found documents in front of him, "All the transaction records found from Yu Shou's house are here."
Long Pei didn't even look at it, his lowered eyes were cold and silent, making it impossible to guess what he was thinking.
"……Your Mightiness."
"Do you think I need to continue to tolerate it?" Long Pei narrowed his eyes, with murderous intent in his gloomy eyes.
Bai Yan looked startled, "...Sir, she will be very sad."
Once country c and country e break up, all kinds of negative influences will come to the fore, and the one who will suffer the most is the president’s wife, Gu Mingxi.
How should the world look at Gu Mingxi and judge her!
Long Pei was silent for a while, then said again: "Ruonan Si doesn't believe you."
Bai Yan smiled, with a sour look on his lips, "That's his business."
Gu Mingxi doesn't believe Long Pei, that's her business. Long Pei can continue to love her and protect her in his own way until she can see it and until she can believe it.
"Speaking of it...it seems like I can't make her believe it wholeheartedly."
"Your Excellency, you and Madam are both smart people. Even smart people can't let down their guard." Bai Yan sighed. It was not Madam's fault this time. She just wanted to see the two countries and these two people live in peace.
"Destroy all the evidence and end this matter."
