The Queen of Divorce

So surprising

Having been used to Su Hua's gentle and calm appearance, it was the first time for Gu Beixian to see her in such a flustered state, looking just like a frightened kitten.

Gu Beixian found it rather interesting.

He curled his lips and teased her with a smile, "You wriggled your way into my arms yourself. I couldn't even push you away."

Su Hua's ears turned red, "Impossible."

He laughed even louder, "Next time I'll record it with my phone so that you can't deny it."

Su Hua was extremely embarrassed.

She quickly turned her back, grabbed the shirt from the bedside table and put it on.

In her haste, she didn't even notice that she had buttoned it wrong.

Watching her slender figure fumbling with her clothes.

What came to Gu Beixian's mind was how she had looked last night in her sleep.

Not knowing what*** things she had dreamed of, she had curled up into a small ball, shivering.

He had held her in his arms, patting and coaxing her, but she had mumbled the name "Brother Ayao" with her eyes closed.

He couldn't remember how many times this had happened already.

How much love must it take to be so unforgettable?

He had sent people to investigate that Ayao for a long time, but they had found nothing.

When he had asked her about it last time, she had avoided answering.

Not answering was an insult to him; answering would be an even greater insult.

The smile on his face disappeared completely. Gu Beixian put on his watch and said casually, "I might come back very late tonight. Please make up an excuse for me to Grandma."

Su Hua's hands, which were buttoning her shirt, paused.

She knew that he would be coming back late to accompany Chu Suosuo in the hospital.

She was so humiliated that she was on the verge of crying, feeling as if her heart was being pierced by needles.

After a long while.

She finally said, "I'll try to persuade Grandma about the divorce. Sorry for the inconvenience to you."

Gu Beixian looked at her meaningfully, "Sorry to you too."

After having breakfast, the driver from the old mansion sent Su Hua to Gu Bao Zhai.

She was busy all day.

When it was time to get off work.

Su Hua received a call from the driver, "Young Madam, my car was hit by a drunk driver. I have to wait for the traffic police to deal with it. Could you please take a taxi to go back?"

"Okay."

Su Hua carried her bag and walked out of the antique street.

As she turned a corner, two men caught up with her and blocked her way.

The tall and thin one among them said, "Are you Su Hua? Please come with us."

Su Hua warily sized up the two men.

They were in their late twenties. Wearing sunglasses at night, they looked suspicious, and there was a faint smell of earth on them.

She panicked and asked, "Where to?"

The tall and thin one said, "There's an ancient painting that needs your help to restore. Don't worry. We mean no harm, and we'll pay you the market price."

Su Hua relaxed a little, "Send the painting to the shop where I work."

The bald man beside him frowned and said, "Why waste time talking to her? Just take her away directly."

Hearing this, Su Hua took off running.

She hadn't run far before the bald man grabbed her arm and dragged her into a black car parked by the roadside.

The car started.

The tall and thin man rummaged through her bag and took out her phone, "Call your family and tell them that you're going out to play with friends for a few days and ask them not to worry."

Su Hua instinctively wanted to call Gu Beixian, but then she thought that he would be in the hospital accompanying Chu Suosuo. How could he have time to care about her?

She'd better call her mom.

She asked the tall and thin man to find her mom's number.

After the call was connected.

Su Hua said, "Mom, I'm going out to play with friends for a few days. You have diabetes. Remember to take your hypoglycemic drugs on time..."

Before she could finish speaking, the phone was taken away by the tall and thin man and turned off.

He took out a black cloth and blindfolded Su Hua.

The car seemed to have been driving for a very long time and finally stopped.

Su Hua was taken to an old small building.

She climbed the stairs and reached the third floor.

The door was opened, and there was a big red table in the middle of the room with a safe on it.

The tall and thin man went forward, opened the safe and took out the painting.

The painting was about one and a half meters long, very old, with severe damage to the picture surface. Many parts of the painting were missing, and it needed to be repainted.

Su Hua stared at the painting carefully. The painting style was gloomy and profound, rich and magnificent.

On the painting, there were towering peaks, magnificent and beautiful, with undulating mountains, winding mountain ranges, dense forests in the mountains, and several thatched cottages could be vaguely seen deep in the mountain valleys. Inside one of the cottages, there was a recluse sitting on the bed with his knees hugged.

She recognized it as a hermitage painting by Wang Meng of the "Four Yuan Masters".

The most expensive painting by Wang Meng had been auctioned for a sky-high price of 400 million yuan.

If this painting was restored well, it would start at least tens of millions at the auction.

No wonder these two men had taken the risk to bring her here.

Not sending the painting to the shop for restoration but asking her to come here to repair it indicated that the painting had an improper origin. It was either stolen or dug out from an ancient tomb.

The tall and thin man asked, "Miss Su, how long will it take to repair this painting?"

"The painting is large in size, severely damaged, and the painting content is seriously missing. It will take at least half a month."

"Okay. Write down the tools and materials you need, and we'll go and prepare them."

Su Hua picked up a pen, wrote down the materials on the paper and handed it to them.

The tall and thin man took it and said, "We'll go and prepare them. You have a good rest."

Su Hua nodded.

The two men went out and locked the door from the outside with a "click".

Su Hua looked around.

There was a bathroom in this room, as well as a bed, a table, a chair, and some food. Obviously, it had been prepared long ago.

Not far from the window were continuous mountains. The scenery was desolate and unfamiliar, and a few scattered lights could be vaguely seen. It should be far from the urban area.

Her stomach growled with hunger.

Su Hua picked up a pack of instant noodles, opened it, ate a few bites and drank some water.

After washing up, she went to lie on the bed.

It was strangely quiet around, but she couldn't fall asleep.

She was missing. She wondered if Gu Beixian would be worried?

Probably not.

He only had eyes for Chu Suosuo. Maybe he was still in the hospital accompanying her right now.

Thinking of how Gu Beixian had rushed to the hospital in a panic when Chu Suosuo had attempted suicide, Su Hua felt as if her heart was stuffed with stones, aching painfully.

She tossed and turned until the middle of the night but still couldn't fall asleep.

She got up to go to the bathroom.

Suddenly, she heard some faint noises outside.

She pressed her ear against the door crack and heard the tall and thin man shouting, "Baldy, what are you doing?"

The bald man lowered his voice and said, "I can't sleep. I came to see if that girl is being honest. You said she's just a little girl. Can she really repair our painting? We can't afford to ruin a painting worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions. The boss will blame us."

"The boss has sent people to inquire about her. Her grandfather was 'the master of restoration' Su Wenmai, who taught her from childhood. There are rumors that most of the paintings he restored in his later years were actually done by this girl."

"Then I'm relieved." The bald man grinned and said, "The little girl is so pretty. Don't you have any thoughts, brother?"

The tall and thin man scolded, "Put away your dirty thoughts. Fixing the painting is the most important thing. Once the painting is sold and we get the money, you can find as many women as you want."

"The women you can buy with money have been slept with by countless people. Can they be compared with her? Can I make a move on that girl after she finishes repairing the painting? She's so damn pretty, white and tender, with big, watery eyes. She makes me itch all over."

The tall and thin man was silent for a moment and said, "Okay. But don't touch her until the painting is repaired."

"Got it."

Su Hua was disgusted to the core.

Sure enough, they were a bunch of scoundrels!

Hearing the two men walking away, she pulled hard on the doorknob.

The door was locked and couldn't be opened, and there were no handy tools to pick the lock either.

She walked to the window and looked down. It was the third floor, and the ground below was concrete. Jumping out of the window to escape was not realistic.

Moreover, there was a big wolfdog in the yard. If she ran, the dog would bark.

She could only hope for outside help.

On the way here, when the tall and thin man asked her to call her mom, she had reminded her mom to take the hypoglycemic drugs on time, which was to hint that she was in danger because her mom didn't actually have diabetes.

She wondered if her mom could figure it out?

The next day, Su Hua started washing the painting and then uncovering it.

She was busy like this for three days.

Seeing that the day when the painting would be repaired was getting closer, she began to feel on tines and needles.

She couldn't sleep soundly at night. Several times, she heard the bald man's footsteps pacing outside her door late at night.

In the middle of the night that day, she had just started to feel sleepy.

Suddenly, she heard the barking of a dog outside, along with hurried footsteps.

Su Hua quickly got up and started putting on her clothes.

The door creaked open, and the tall and thin man rushed in, grabbed her wrist and dragged her outside. The bald man went to collect the painting.

Just as they reached the door, a group of people rushed up the stairs.

The man in the lead was dressed in black, tall and handsome, with deep-set eyes. It was Gu Beixian.

Behind him were a group of well-equipped policemen.

The joy in Su Hua's heart surged like a tsunami.

She could hardly believe her eyes.

She stared at the man and asked in a trembling voice, "Is it really you? Beixian."

"It's me." Gu Beixian strode forward. The tall and thin man grabbed her and ran towards the window.

Before Su Hua could react, a knife suddenly appeared on her neck.

The tall and thin man held the knife against her neck and shouted at the police, "Put down your guns! Step back! Otherwise, I'll stab her to death!"

The blade cut into her flesh, and Su Hua was in so much pain that her ears rang and her vision blurred.

Gu Beixian clenched his fists instantly, his eyes reddening as he stared at her, suppressing his anger and said, "Quickly put down the guns! Everyone get out!"

The policemen exchanged glances with him and bent down to put their guns on the ground and then backed away.

The bald man kicked the guns into a corner.

The tall and thin man pushed Su Hua onto the windowsill, "Jump!"

Su Hua gripped the window frame tightly with both hands and didn't dare to jump. It was the third floor. Jumping down would either kill her or cripple her!

"Jump! You won't die!" The tall and thin man lost his patience and grabbed her arm and jumped down with her.

In the blink of an eye, suddenly there was a gunshot, and a scream rang out through the night sky!
