Chapter 150: “She actually managed to get away!” Wen Zhuqing gritted his teeth

After speaking, without waiting for Wen Zhuqing’s reply, Liu Yuan hurriedly left in a panic.

She really had no choice—she was truly frightened.

These days, messing around with affairs could end terribly. Liu Yuan had seen it with her own eyes when she was young.

Wen Zhuqing tried to reach out and stop Liu Yuan, but his backside hurt so much that his face twisted in pain—he couldn’t even speak, let alone move.

All he could do was watch helplessly as Liu Yuan disappeared from his sight.

It was a long time before he managed to get up, his face dark as water.

“She actually managed to get away!” Wen Zhuqing gritted his teeth.

Today, one of Wen Zhuqing’s main reasons for coming to the county was to win Liu Yuan over, to make their relationship physical—ideally, to get her pregnant after this encounter.

That way, Liu Yuan would be more inclined toward him, and her parents would have no choice but to help him divorce and break free from the Bao family.

For this, Wen Zhuqing had even spent his last bit of money to rent this place for a month.

Now, he was truly penniless. As for his family sending him anything? Ha, not a chance.

Everything had been going smoothly, but he hadn’t expected some noise to startle Liu Yuan, causing her to run off.

Now, there was no way to get her back.

He didn’t know if Liu Yuan would tell her parents about what happened today. If she didn’t, that would be fine, but if she did...

Wen Zhuqing was sure that Liu Yuan’s parents would never agree to let them be together. To stop them, they might not be willing to hurt Liu Yuan, but they could very well come after him.

Wouldn’t that make his situation even worse?

Wen Zhuqing’s face was extremely ugly. After a long while, he finally got up, closed the door, and left.

He returned empty-handed, and just thinking about having to face Bao Shanyan’s questioning and even her beatings when he got back made Wen Zhuqing feel even more miserable.

Just as Wen Zhuqing’s figure faded into the distance, someone emerged from behind the very house Wen Zhuqing had just left.

If Wen Zhuqing were still here, he would have recognized this person as Gu Yunzhou.

Watching Wen Zhuqing’s disappearing figure, Gu Yunzhou spat, “That Wen Zhuqing, already married, and still dares to fool around—he must have a death wish.”

“Liu Yuan? Who’s that?”

Ever since they’d decided at home yesterday to keep a close eye on Wen Zhuqing, Gu Yunzhou had started taking action.

Sure enough, when he saw Wen Zhuqing heading to the county this morning, Gu Yunzhou quietly followed him.

He hadn’t expected to discover anything, but he did.

First, he saw Wen Zhuqing sneakily buying something, then he saw him getting cozy with a young woman—seemingly about to have an affair!

That woman too... Luckily, he’d just made some noise with a stone and scared her off.

Otherwise, that woman would’ve been completely taken advantage of by Wen Zhuqing.

He’d always known Wen Zhuqing wasn’t a decent person.

Thank goodness Ningning wasn’t with him, or he’d have wanted to beat Wen Zhuqing to death.

Gu Yunzhou didn’t go back to the village right away. Instead, he found a phone in the county and called Gu Jianing, telling her everything that had happened with Wen Zhuqing today.

Over in the Northwest Military District, even though she’d called home, Gu Jianing still couldn’t put her mind at ease.

She’d even had a nightmare last night.

In her dream, it was like her previous life—because of Wen Zhuqing, because of her own stupidity, her family suffered tragedy.

And now, Wen Zhuqing was targeting her family again.

Waking up in the middle of the night, Gu Jianing had cried in Sheng Zexi’s arms for a long time.

Today, when a young soldier from the communications office said her third brother was on the phone, she rushed over eagerly.

Then she heard about everything her third brother had seen while following Wen Zhuqing.

“Liu Yuan...” Gu Jianing murmured. She hadn’t expected Wen Zhuqing to try seducing Liu Yuan so soon in this life.

“Ningning, do you know this Liu Yuan?” Gu Yunzhou asked on the other end.

“Not exactly, but I know who she is...” Gu Jianing then explained Liu Yuan’s background.

In her previous life, after marrying Wen Zhuqing, when he realized she was no longer of use and couldn’t have children, Wen Zhuqing seduced Liu Yuan to escape Huaihua Village, all for the sake of Liu Yuan’s parents’ status.

Maybe Wen Zhuqing really did have a strong hold over Liu Yuan in their past life.

Even though they never married, Liu Yuan still willingly stayed with him and even had his child.

Liu Yuan’s parents, helpless for their daughter’s sake, could only help Wen Zhuqing.

Gu Jianing only found out about Liu Yuan much later.

But in the end, neither Liu Yuan nor her parents met a good end.

Liu Yuan was driven mad by Wen Zhuqing, and drowned herself and her child in the river. Her parents, devastated by the loss, confronted Wen Zhuqing.

But by then, Wen Zhuqing had already climbed to greater heights, and easily dealt with them.

Step by step, Wen Zhuqing used women to climb higher, abandoning each one as he went.

He was ruthless and cold-blooded, but undeniably capable.

“Third Brother, here’s what I want you to do: write an anonymous letter to Liu Yuan’s parents...” Gu Jianing then briefly explained what the letter should say.

It would expose Wen Zhuqing’s attempt to seduce Liu Yuan, how he’d pretended to save her to get close, and most importantly, that he was already married...

The whole point of the letter was to reveal Wen Zhuqing’s true nature, and hopefully get Liu Yuan’s parents to stop her from being with him—ideally, to take action against Wen Zhuqing and put an end to him.

Wen Zhuqing’s so-called “life-saving grace” was a lie.

Gu Jianing had discovered this in her previous life.

The whole thing had been Wen Zhuqing’s scheme from the start.

“Alright, little sister, don’t worry. I’ll write the letter and send it as soon as possible. I’ll keep an eye on Wen Zhuqing too.”

“Mm, thank you, Third Brother.”

After hanging up, Gu Jianing thought for a while, hoping her brother’s plan would go smoothly.

Thinking about it, Liu Yuan was also an innocent victim of Wen Zhuqing. If possible, she hoped that in this life, Liu Yuan could have a different ending.

Meanwhile, after returning home from the county, Gu Yunzhou immediately locked himself in his room to write the letter...

As he was writing, he suddenly heard a commotion outside.

Gu Yunzhou poked his head out and learned from his mother that Wen Zhuqing had been beaten up by Bao Shanyan.

Gu Yunzhou smirked—good, the harder the beating, the better.

“Besides the letter to Liu Yuan’s parents, little sister said to write one to Bao Shanyan too...” Gu Yunzhou pulled out another sheet of paper and started writing an anonymous letter to Bao Shanyan.

As for the contents, of course it was all about exposing Wen Zhuqing’s unfaithful heart.

Back in the county, after being scared off, Liu Yuan went straight home."
