Chapter 622: Actually Tie Her Up?!

Chapter 622: Chapter 622: Actually Tie Her Up?!

Watching the uncommon expression on the man’s face, Su Yinwan was stunned for a moment, half-believing she had mistaken him for someone else.

She stubbornly kept tugging at the man’s trousers.

"Gu Yu, we’ve at least met before, you can’t just ignore me like this, I won’t hold you back, it’s just that I’ve sprained my ankle and can’t walk. Just help me down the mountain."

"So it’s just a sprained ankle," Zhao Lang lifted his eyebrows and glanced at the hand she wouldn’t release. "No wonder your grip is so strong; you don’t look hurt at all."

His words, half cold, half mocking, made Su Yinwan freeze again.

"Gu..."

"Miss Su, you must be mistaken, we’re merely strangers who have crossed paths. You should be more familiar with my cousin."

Even though his words were meant to show disdain and distance, they took on a completely different meaning in Su Yinwan’s ears.

She finally realized why Gu Yu was behaving this way; it turned out he was jealous of Shang Shaojing.

It was no wonder, after all, she had always been very affectionate with Shang Shaojing whenever they were together, so his jealousy was understandable.

With this in mind, Su Yinwan bit her lip and pretended to look pitiful, "Gu, Young Master Gu, it’s not what you think. President Shang and I are just good friends, don’t overthink it—"

Zhao Lang laughed, "Would you dare say that in front of him?"

Su Yinwan was taken aback.

But Zhao Lang’s eyes shifted, and he used a branch to lift Su Yinwan’s chin, "You just said you wanted me to take you down?"

His eyes, clear as snow, seemed to reveal countless depths of emotion, sparkling like waves.

Unlike Shang Shaojing’s profound features, Gu Yu was coldly handsome and striking, impacting one strongly with his beauty at first sight.

And with his rather cryptic remark, Su Yinwan immediately blushed.

"If that’s the case, I couldn’t thank you enough, don’t worry, once we’re out—"

Zhao Lang lost patience to listen any further and picked up a nearby vine, handing the other end to her.

"You said your ankle was hurt, right? Grab this."

A ripple of relief crossed Su Yinwan’s mind.

She hadn’t expected Gu Yu to be such a gentleman.

She carefully reached out and grabbed the vine, but before she could stand firmly, she saw Zhao Lang circling her with the vine.

Su Yinwan, puzzled, asked, "Young Master Gu, what are you doing?"

Zhao Lang didn’t answer; he just looked up, smiling.

Dazzled by his bright smile, Su Yinwan took a moment to react, but by then, half of her body was already wrapped in the vine.

Just as she was utterly confused, Zhao Lang pulled sharply, and she was suddenly dangling in mid-air.

Su Yinwan screamed, and the next second she was bound to a tree by the smiling man in front of her.

Zhao Lang’s lips kept their smile, unhurried as he tied a knot in the vine.

"Miss Su, since you’ve sprained your ankle, you should stay put and heal, not wander around."

Only then did Su Yinwan come back to her senses, "Mr. Gu, what are you doing?"

"What am I doing?" Zhao Lang’s smile disappeared abruptly. "I should ask you the same question. Su Yinwan, if I remember correctly, Jiang Li has done nothing wrong to you. She isn’t in your circle, poses no threat to your resources, and has no dealings with you. Why must you trouble her repeatedly?"

Su Yinwan, taken aback, struggled to maintain her composure, "Young Master Gu, what are you talking about? When have I ever targeted Miss Jiang? We’ve... always been on good terms."

Zhao Lang sneered, "Fine, if you’re intent on playing dumb, continue, but I don’t have the time to waste."

With that, he turned to leave.

Su Yinwan, panicking, shouted, "Young Master Gu, please, untie me quickly!"

Zhao Lang, without turning back, answered, "Sorry, I just sprained my hand; can’t untie it. Maybe, Miss Su, you can try your luck here and see if some deity comes to rescue you?"

As his voice faded, his figure disappeared into the woods.

Su Yinwan, pale-faced, struggled fiercely, but the vines were incredibly strong, and Zhao Lang’s grip had been firm, leaving her almost no space to move.

"Young Master Gu, Young Master Gu, don’t jest like this with me, please let me go."

"Young Master Gu? Please, it’s so cold here, let me down."

"It hurts so much, Young Master Gu?"

No matter how she pleaded and called out, there was still no movement around her.

Su Yinwan simply couldn’t believe what was happening before her eyes.

Gu Yu actually tied her to a tree and walked away?

How had she provoked him?

Reflecting on Gu Yu’s words, Su Yinwan accurately caught a name.

Jiang Li.

Jiang Li again.

Could it be that Jiang Li brainwashed him into doing this?

Indeed, something only a spiteful supporting character would do!

Thinking of this, Su Yinwan grew even more indignant.

To think that she, a leading lady, was being manipulated by a minor character.

In the book, every character revolved around her.

Jiang Yan did, Jiang Cheng did, and now even Gu Yu had done the same!

She couldn’t wait any longer.

She must find a way to log out quickly!

...

Jiang Cheng dozily slept for another day.

He thought he would at least drown in that icy lake water, yet, unfortunately, he did not.

Whether it was God showing pity or disdain for him, he somehow continued to live.

Yet it would have been better to have died.

Now, with multiple fractures all over his body, stuck in a crevice unable to move, he hadn’t eaten for a whole day.

He probably wouldn’t last much longer before completely passing out.

That was fine, at least those troubles wouldn’t bother him anymore.

He had been living a borrowed life for many years; he should be satisfied.

But just as he closed his eyes, accepting this harsh reality, a voice that seemed to come from the edge of the sky faintly reached his ears.

Despite being very faint, he distinctly heard someone calling his name.

Just when Jiang Cheng thought he was hearing hallucinations before death, the voice sounded again and grew clearer.

He suddenly opened his eyes, his heart, once filled with despair, reigniting with hope.

Was it Sister Xiao Wan?

No, it certainly wasn’t her.

It was her who had caused him to fall into the lake and then walked away.

He had completely seen through that woman’s true nature.

Completely selfish and cold-blooded.

How could she possibly come back for him?

Thinking this, Jiang Cheng’s newly kindled hope slowly dimmed again.

Sister Xiao Wan used to be one of the few people he was willing to trust in this world.

But even she had now become indifferent and alien.

He didn’t know how he was supposed to survive in this lonely world.

Jiang Cheng closed his eyes again, but suddenly a warm palm gently tapped on his face.

Before he passed out again, he saw a familiar face.

It was Jiang Li.
