Chapter 259 - The saving Grace (2/2)

The three boys charged at him. Even though the man was alone, he could easily evade through their attacks. It was as if he had studied fending for himself for a long time, showing little effort in handling them and was always on the defensive, not bothering to go to the offensive at all!

”Th-this!”

Once the man saw an opening, he single handedly knocked them out to sleep with one hit behind the head, Gu Ren, blinking her eyes in surprise as she saw what had happened before her.

She felt like she was a damsel in distress, and that finally, her prince charming had come to save her!

Another man came from behind the mysterious man who saved her.

”Bring these punks home to their houses and inform their parents of what happened.”

”Yes, Mr. Wang Lu.”

'Wang Lu?'

His name rang in Gu Ren's head like a song in repeat. Her heart started to beat erratically as the man, Wang Lu, started approaching her. The moment he was in front of her, he knelt down, got a handkerchief, and proceeded to wipe the tears on her face.

”You should have gone home earlier,” Wang Lu said, his words comforting the girl. ”Why are you out alone?”

”I…” Gu Ren blinked her eyes a few times, not knowing what to say. ”Th-thank you,” she just said, Wang Lu giving her a small smile as he put the handkerchief on her hand, standing up as he walked away to leave.

”Go home. Your family must be worried about you. If I did not notice you being dragged away when I was in the car, who knows what might've happened to you.”

Gu Ren was still sitting on the ground, surprised and at the same time ecstatic with a handsome man rescuing her. It was at that time then that Gu Ren realized that she had fallen in love with him in an instant.

~ Present Time ~

”So, it was because that you saved Gu Zhi's sister that everything got mixed up?” Lei Zhao asked, Wang Lu, nodding to answer his question.

Wang Lu told Lei Zhao that since then, Gu Zhi's sister, Gu Ren, started stalking him until she confessed to him. When Gu Ren confessed to him, Wang Lu rejected her calmly.

”I didn't know that her love for me was so immense that she took the rejection like a big deal,” Wang Lu mumbled, but it was enough for Lei Zhao to hear. ”She followed me everywhere so when she confessed to me, Yan Mei was actually waiting for me at the restaurant and I pointed at her, and probably, that's when things started to get awful.”

”Hmm, I see.”

Lei Zhao could already deduce from this point the possibilities and the connections of all this. With Gu Zhi being the one who kidnapped Yan Mei and with Gu Ren knowing who Yan Mei is because of her obsession with Wang Lu, they could deduce that Gu Zhi did this to get back at Wang Lu.

But why? It seemed that Gu Zhi had more motives than that. Is his love towards his sister that great to make him do things that are unfathomable?

”When I knew that Gu Zhi was the one who kidnapped Yan Mei, I was so outraged that I killed him myself.

Hearing this, Lei Zhao was snapped out of his thoughts as he looked at Wang Lu with a surprised look on his face.

”But if you killed him yourself, then why is he—”

”I know,” Wang Lu interrupted him, ”I don't know why he is alive. I saw him dying and his lifeless body with my own eyes. I made sure that he was… but why?”

Silence befell the two, Ye Xing also dumbfounded as he listened and took notes of what they talked about during their conversation.

It was as if that even though they had talked about this together, they reached another bottleneck—wanting to look for more clues as to why the man who was supposed to be dead… turned out to be alive and well.
