Chapter 930 Rescue Jiang Mubai
Chapter 930 Rescue Jiang Mubai
Cheng Yunchuan clenched his teeth, and Jiang Mubai's crying face appeared in his mind. "What do you want to say?"
"I want to say," Gu Yan approached him, almost touching his ear, his voice low and bewitching, "I can help you get Jiang Mubai back and make him come back to you."
Cheng Yunchuan pushed him away, his eyes full of vigilance. "How can you help me? What is your purpose?"
Gu Yan spread his hands with an innocent look on his face. "I admire you, Cheng Yunchuan. Your love for Jiang Mubai is so pure and strong. I can't bear to see you being played around by a scumbag."
"Stop talking nonsense," Cheng Yunchuan rubbed his temples, feeling a splitting headache, "What on earth do you want to do?"
Gu Yan's lips curled up into an evil smile. "It's very simple, cooperation. I'll help you get Jiang Mubai, and you do one thing for me."
"What's the matter?" Cheng Yunchuan asked vigilantly.
"I can't tell you now," Gu Yan pretended to be mysterious, "I will tell you after you agree to cooperate."
Cheng Yunchuan was silent. He knew in his heart that Gu Yan was not a good person, and cooperating with him was like seeking the skin of a tiger. However, when he thought of the scene of Jiang Mubai and Lin Feng together, his heart was as painful as being stabbed by a knife.
"Okay," Cheng Yunchuan finally agreed, "I'll cooperate with you."
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction and patted Cheng Yunchuan on the shoulder. "It's a wise choice. Next, just wait and see."
In the next few days, Gu Yan began to appear frequently in Cheng Yunchuan's life. He arranged for someone to follow Lin Feng, collect his negative information, and send it anonymously to major media.
For a time, negative news about Lin Feng was everywhere, and his image plummeted. Jiang Mubai was also implicated and was scolded by netizens.
Seeing Jiang Mubai's painful expression, Cheng Yunchuan felt mixed emotions. On the one hand, he felt sorry for Jiang Mubai, but on the other hand, he felt vaguely uneasy. He always felt that Gu Yan's purpose was not just to help him, but to have other intentions.
One night, Gu Yan asked Cheng Yunchuan to meet him at a high-end restaurant.
"Things are going very smoothly," Gu Yan raised his glass, "Lin Feng is now a nobody, and Jiang Mubai has broken up with him."
Cheng Yunchuan did not feel the slightest bit of joy, but felt even heavier in his heart. "What do you want me to do?"
Gu Yan put down his wine glass, his eyes became fierce. "I want you to help me deal with someone."
"Who?" Cheng Yunchuan asked.
"My competitor," Gu Yan paused and said word by word, "Lu Jingchen."
Cheng Yunchuan's heart suddenly sank. Lu Jingchen, a legend in the business world, a person he could never reach even if he looked up to him. Gu Yan actually wanted him to deal with Lu Jingchen? This was simply a fantasy!
"I can't do it," Cheng Yunchuan shook his head, "You should ask someone else for help."
Gu Yan sneered, "Do you think you have a choice?" He took out a photo from his pocket and threw it in front of Cheng Yunchuan.
The photo showed Jiang Mubai being tied up in an abandoned warehouse. His face was full of fear and there were obvious scars on his body.
Cheng Yunchuan's pupils suddenly contracted. He grabbed the photo and asked tremblingly, "What...what did you do to him?"
"I'm just giving him a little lesson," Gu Yan said in a cold tone, "If you don't do what I say, he will be hurt more seriously. You should know that I can do anything."
Cheng Yunchuan's face turned pale. He felt like he had fallen into a huge trap, and he was powerless...
Cheng Yunchuan stared at the photo of Jiang Mubai being tied up. In the photo, he was pale, his lips were chapped, and his eyes were empty and helpless, like a panicked deer caught by a hunter. Cheng Yunchuan's heart seemed to be tightly grasped by an invisible big hand, and he could hardly breathe.
"You...you lunatic!" Cheng Yunchuan growled with gritted teeth, his voice trembling violently, "How dare you touch him!"
Gu Yan crossed his legs elegantly, took a sip of red wine, and a cruel arc appeared on the corner of his mouth. "Tsk tsk, Master Cheng, are you scared now? It's a pity, it's too late. Now, your little lover is in my hands, and his life is in your hands."
Cheng Yunchuan suddenly raised his head, his eyes bloodshot, like a beast cornered. "What do you want?"
"It's very simple," Gu Yan put down his wine glass and said in a cold tone, "Help me to bring down Lu Jingchen, and I will let him go."
"You're dreaming!" Cheng Yunchuan roared, "Who is Lu Jingchen? How can I possibly touch him? You're trying to kill me!"
"Force you to death?" Gu Yan chuckled, his eyes contemptuous, "Do you think you still have any choice? Either cooperate, or..." He paused deliberately, his eyes fell meaningfully on Jiang Mubai in the photo, "Watch your little lover suffer and die."
Cheng Yunchuan's body was shaking violently. He clenched his fists tightly, his nails digging deep into his flesh, but he didn't feel any pain. He closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and tried to calm himself down. He knew that now was not the time to act on impulse, because Jiang Mubai's life was hanging on his whim.
"Okay," Cheng Yunchuan opened his eyes, his eyes were dead silent, "I promise you."
Gu Yan smiled with satisfaction. He patted Cheng Yunchuan on the shoulder with a hint of mockery in his tone. "That's right. A man who knows the current situation is a hero. Don't worry, as long as you are obedient, I promise that your little lover will not lose a single hair."
In the following days, Cheng Yunchuan was like a walking corpse, following Gu Yan's instructions, getting closer to Lu Jingchen step by step, collecting his intelligence, and looking for his weaknesses. His originally sunny and cheerful personality became gloomy and taciturn, with a lingering haze on his face.
He couldn't imagine how heartbroken and desperate Jiang Mubai would be if he knew that he was forced to do something bad for him. He couldn't even imagine what would happen to Jiang Mubai if he failed in the end.
Whenever it was late at night, Cheng Yunchuan would secretly take out Jiang Mubai's photo, stroke his face over and over again, and whisper his name. He wanted to tell him how much he loved him, how much he wanted to hold him tightly in his arms, and tell him that everything would be fine.
But he couldn't. He could only endure it all silently, for him and for their future.
One day, Gu Yan suddenly told Cheng Yunchuan that he needed to get an important document from Lu Jingchen. This document was related to a major project of Lu Jingchen. Once leaked, it would be a fatal blow to him.
Cheng Yunchuan knew that this was his only chance. If he could successfully obtain this document, he could completely break free from Gu Yan's control and rescue Jiang Mubai.
