Chapter 16 The Contract
Jiang Mengyu's hearing had improved significantly after her cultivation, and she heard everything they were discussing.
She had thought that as long as she convinced them she was not the person they were waiting for, she could escape to safety. Unexpectedly, they harbored such intentions.
Whether she was Jiang Mengyu or not, they intended to capture her and make her their wife!
Jiang Mengyu felt a surge of anxiety. She looked around, hoping for something or someone to appear that might help her escape.
Even a wild boar would do; she had a knife in her storage talisman.
She dared not draw the knife in front of them, but once they turned away, she could take it out, slash through the net, and run away.
Suddenly, her heart almost stopped beating.
She actually saw several people, ambushed in the bushes by the mountain stream.
In her heart, she cursed these onlookers for not coming out to rescue her, despite clearly seeing her being bullied.
Moreover, after her cultivation, her vision had also improved greatly. She could recognize one of the ambushed men to be her former brother-in-law in her past life, Gu Dongxing!
A mischievous smile played at the corners of her mouth: If they wouldn't come out, she could just expose them.
She suddenly shouted towards the direction of the mountain stream, "My fiancé is here, let me go quickly!"
Zhou Daleng had just heard her saying something about her fiancé coming down from the cliff, and now she was claiming her fiancé had arrived. Could it be that her fiancé was here to escort her while she gathered herbs?
If that was true, he wouldn't be able to capture this woman and take her back.
Consequently, he looked around vigilantly.
Gu Dongxing and the people ambushed by the mountain stream were stunned when they saw Jiang Mengyu looking towards them: Had they been discovered?
One of his subordinates looked at Gu Dongxing, eyes asking what to do.
Gu Dongxing made a gesture: Stay calm and do nothing rash.
Seeing that Gu Dongxing made no move, Jiang Mengyu boldly cried out, "Gu Dongxing, don't you see these people are trying to take away your fiancée? Come out and save me!"
Several men were stunned.
Great, she had called him out directly. Was this girl truly his fiancée?
Gu Dongxing was inwardly frustrated; this girl actually recognized him and knew his name!
Considering the person they were supposed to capture, doubts suddenly clouded his mind. But still, he stood up and stepped forward.
Zhou Daleng and the others hadn't expected that a man, devilishly handsome at that, or rather a group of men, were indeed hidden here. Behind him were four other men.
That wasn't right; hadn't she said that her fiancé was from the Gu Family in B City? How could someone from the Gu Family possibly turn up here?
However, he immediately made up an explanation for the other party - had he come to accompany his fiancée while she gathered herbs?
He walked step by step to Jiang Mengyu's side. His eyes were on Jiang Mengyu, but he still proceeded to untie the net.
"This is a misunderstanding; we mistook her for my wife, whom I've never met."
"A misunderstanding?" Jiang Mengyu didn't want to let them off easily: "Is this how you misunderstand? I had just come down from the cliff after gathering herbs, and you trapped me in a net, wanting to abduct me to be your wife.
I've already told you, you've got the wrong person, yet you still wanted to capture me. You even said that since human traffickers can kidnap people to become your wives, you can just as well capture someone to be your wife."
When Gu Dongxing heard this, a cold light flashed in his eyes, shooting toward the four men.
"I didn't say that, he did." Susu shamelessly betrayed Zhou Daleng.
"I, we just paid money for a wife, we haven't, haven't captured innocent people." Zhou Daleng quickly took out the contract.
