The sky was gloomy in the evening, and soon, it began to drizzle. The autumn wind brought cold raindrops and blew in through the open window. Jin Mingzhu shivered and closed the window tightly.

It has been three months since she fled here. That man must have given up.

There was a knock on the door, disturbing the quiet rainy night. Then the landlord's voice came. "Ms. Jin, open the door quickly."

"Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Mingzhu asked.

"Last time you told me that the bathroom light was broken, so I came over to fix it for you today," the landlord explained, with some anxiety in his voice.

"It's too late today, it's not very convenient. Let's do it another day." Living alone for half a year has made Mingzhu more vigilant.

The landlord, who was just across the door, was sweating profusely. The black-clad bodyguard behind him had a gun pressed against his back. He had no doubt that if he couldn't knock on the door today, he would be dead on the street tonight.

"Ms. Jin, since I'm here today, I might as well help you fix it. It's inconvenient when the light is broken." The landlord tried his best to suppress the trembling in his voice.

Mingzhu heard this and thought to herself that she was overthinking. The world is so big, it's not easy to find someone, and she has been hiding well for the past six months.

The door was opened, and the black-clad bodyguards filed in and surrounded her. Only then did she see the landlord with a gun to his head. Her porcelain-like face was full of despair. She smiled bitterly, and Gu Huaijin finally came.

After receiving the report from her subordinates, Gu Huaijin went upstairs. The bodyguards who surrounded her made way for her. Gu Huaijin looked up and saw Mrs. Gu, who had been away from home for half a year, sitting on the cold floor with her knees folded. Her thin back was trembling slightly, as if she was suppressing the fear in her heart. Gu Huaijin sneered: Oh, so she is afraid too?

Mingzhu looked up, and Gu Huaijin's sculptured face was full of sinister aura. His deep cold eyes looked her up and down several times, and then looked around the room several times. Very good, there was no trace of a man's life. Then he slowly spoke, "Mrs. Gu, long time no see."

"Gu Huaijin, please let me go." Mingzhu spoke slowly, her tone full of humility and pleading.

"Let you go?" Gu Huaijin held her jaw and forced her to raise her head. The man was cold and frosty, "Jin Mingzhu, is this all you can do? Isn't your lover a top student in the law department? Didn't he tell you that our marriage is protected by law? Jin Mingzhu, in this life you are a member of the Gu family in life and a ghost of the Gu family in death."

When talking about Xu Yang, Mingzhu felt despair and depression, and said hatefully, "Gu Huaijin, you hurt him so badly, you are not a human! You are not worthy of mentioning his name."

The hand that was pinching her jaw tightened, "I'm not worthy! Yes, you escaped to live with him."

The hatred in the man's eyes was even stronger. He was worried whether she knew that she had been away from home for so long. Whenever a female victim appeared in the news, he was always uneasy, fearing that it was her. He set up strict surveillance throughout the country, but could not find her. If someone had not accidentally taken a photo of her and posted it online, he would not have come here.

Jin Mingzhu stared at the man's eyes closely. There were red bloodshot eyes under Gu Huaijin's eyes, which made him look even more haggard. Her face was full of pain and hatred, and she sneered, "Yes, I don't like you and don't want to be Mrs. Gu, so I went to great lengths to escape."

Gu Huaijin felt a little cold when he touched the floor. He lifted her up from the ground and threw her onto the sofa. He stroked her cheek and said with pity, "Run away. I'll catch you every time you run away. If you like to play the cat-and-mouse game, I'll accompany you to the end. But you have to bear the consequences of your escape."

Gu Huaijin waved his hand, and the bodyguards around him left the room in an orderly manner. Mingzhu stared at his hand that was about to untie his belt, feeling anxious. She jumped up from the sofa and tried to run away. Gu Huaijin reached out to stop her, grabbed her body and threw her back onto the sofa. "Jin Mingzhu, since you dare to run away, you must know what the consequences will be if I catch you."

Gu Huaijin held both of her wrists and pressed them above her head. Then the man's strong body pressed down on her, with a forced and aggressive aura. The thin nightgown was pushed up, revealing a piece of snow-white. Only then did Jin Mingzhu realize what he wanted to do. She struggled hard under him and raised her foot to kick him, but he easily resolved it by pinching her ankle. Mingzhu couldn't move. Despair and fear surrounded her, and she felt powerless as if she was drowning. She begged, "Gu Huaijin, I was wrong. I don't dare to escape. Please let me go."

Gu Huaijin looked indifferent, ignoring her desperate pleas. He took off his clothes, leaned forward, and blocked the little mouth he had missed for a long time with his slightly cool lips, turning all her resentment and grievances into a continuous sound.

The sound of rain outside the window was getting louder, and the violent storm was corroding the delicate rose on the balcony. The rose seemed to be begging and roaring desperately, but it had no way to do anything and nowhere to escape. Everything was drowned in the fierce beating of raindrops.

Special Assistant Chen Chuan wished he could cover his ears and disappear immediately. It seemed like a long time had passed, and when the rainstorm stopped, Chen Chuan heard Gu Huaijin's voice and pushed the door open.

"Call a few people to collect all the madam's things and send them back to Beijing." The man's voice was lazily relieved. Chen Chuan responded and began to arrange for the staff.

Jin Mingzhu was held horizontally in Gu Huaijin's arms and walked out of the room quickly. Unable to break free, she heard the man's faint threat in her ears, "If you move again, I will throw you down." Hearing this, the corners of her eyes turned red, and she felt angry and wronged. She opened her mouth and bit the man's shoulder hard. Through the custom-made shirt, her sharp teeth bit into the muscle fiercely, and there seemed to be a faint taste of blood between her lips and teeth. The running man just paused slightly, and raised the corners of his mouth, "The strength is okay, next time use this strength in bed." Mingzhu's cheeks were slightly red, and she was relieved. Not satisfied, she pinched him hard twice.

The car was speeding towards the airport. Jin Mingzhu looked at the lights of thousands of houses outside the window. She had only wanted to have a simple happiness. But the appearance of Gu Huaijin changed everything. He ruined her life. It had been half a year since she left Beijing. She had not been caught. She thought she had escaped. She was so close to happiness, yet so far away. Jin Mingzhu stretched out her hand, as if touching her happiness through the car window, and two lines of tears slowly fell.

Gu Huaijin looked at her absent-minded appearance, feeling unhappy. After a long time, he turned around and saw the person next to him sleeping against the car window. He carefully placed her on his lap and covered her body with his coat. He leaned down and kissed her slightly wet eyelashes, then tightened his arms around her. He whispered, "Drive slower." The jewel in his palm was finally found.
