Lin Che smiled coldly at Han Caiying, "Stepmother, relax. Nobody knows that I belong to the Lin family. Even if I cause a scene, it's only on me. You can think whatever you want but as I've said, I didn't do anything. If there's nothing else, please step aside. I need to leave."
Qin Qing unhappily raised his head, looking at the mother and daughter before pulling Lin Che over.
Only then did he realize how skinny Lin Che was. It was as if her arm could break any time.
He helped her up as she struggled to stand. Suddenly, she felt her body go cold and her legs were trembling.
Han Caiying watched the way Qin Qing treated Lin Che and her expression changed. She stopped Lin Li as she did not want Qin Qing to be unhappy with her. But as a mother, she had to do something.
She got up and snatched Qin Qing's hand away, looking at Lin Che, "Lin Che, what's the meaning of this? You think you're a little star now so you can climb all over Qin Qing? You're too much. The Third Younger Master of the Qin family is not within your reach."
She turned to Qin Qing, "Qin Qing, she is completely devious. She had always harbored bad intentions towards you from the beginning. You not only didn't see through her; you even helped her! Oh, how you have let down our Lin Li!"
Qin Qing gritted his teeth and looked at Han Caiying. He was glad Lin Li was different from her mother.
Qin Qing held Lin Che and walked forward. He did not want to listen to Han Caiying anymore. As they stumbled together, Lin Che was still in a daze and her legs were weak.
Seeing how Qin Qing ignored her, Han Caiying angrily walked in front of them and stopped them. She pulled back Lin Che and with a loud smack, slapped Lin Che's face.
Just then…
A few cars had suddenly stopped outside at the entrance.
Inside, not knowing how the police chief got the news, everyone went out of the station.
Lin Li and Han Caiying stood frozen, staring strangely at the neat row of black cars.
A black Bentley was parked right in the middle.
The door opened. A pair of high-quality handmade leather shoes nimbly touched the ground.
A long, slender silhouette followed. Gu Jingze was wearing a grey top and dark blue pants, standing upright on the stoned path. A pair of black eyes, dark and mysterious, adorned his perfect face. He brought about an air of charm as he stepped out of his car. His gaze fell on Qin Qing's hand which was holding tightly onto Lin Che. Unhappiness swept across his ashen face, sinister and ready to devour anything in his way. Although subtle, it was enough to send chills down anyone's spine.
Men behind him formed a row at his sides. Two huge security guards with earpieces flanked him. Qin Hao meekly followed behind. This scene left Lin Li and Han Caiying in a daze.
The police officers rushed over to greet him with a smile, not quite daring to go near him. They said softly, "Mr. Gu, we did not expect you to be here. We did not prepare a proper welcome for you."
Gu Jingze only had eyes for Lin Che, whose face had gone white. With long strides, he walked over.
Seeing the tall Gu Jingze approach, Qin Qing tightened his grip on Lin Che.
Qin Qing was subconsciously nervous, but he refused to let go of Lin Che and firmly stood his ground.
Gu Jingze's eyes were cold and a strong sense of oppression came over them.
Lin Che raised her head, refusing to appear weak in front of Gu Jingze. However, that made her all the more pitiful.
Gu Jingze grabbed Lin Che's arm and his eyes fell on Qin Qing's hand.
Qin Qing clenched his teeth and did not want to budge. But when he felt the pressure, he slowly released his grip.
In one effortless movement, Gu Jingze lifted her into his arms.
Lin Che felt compromised. She could breathe in his scent. However, she felt a sense of security when he swept her up in his arms.
Gu Jingze's eyes were like those of a predator, sweeping across Qin Qing. His tall body towered over the latter.
"Gu Jingze, I…" Lin Che's slender arm hung around his neck as she was about to speak. However, Gu Jingze stopped her coldly, "Shut up."
Lin Che froze. She bit her lip as she looked at him and swallowed her words.
Gu Jingze was obviously in a bad mood as he glared at her hatefully.
If she had no strength, she should just patiently rest and not try to spew nonsense.
The police felt the chilly atmosphere as they watched Gu Jingze carry Lin Che coldly. They looked around and tried to figure out who captured this woman here. It was going to be difficult to not offend Gu Jingze, so the Gu family had suddenly called up and prepared for them to let the culprits go.
The police officer who had just been interrogated was shaken and dared not go over. The contempt he had earlier had been replaced with fear.
Lin Li and Han Caiying stood there together and stared.
Lin Li thought angrily, That damned Lin Che. How could she get that kind of man to protect her like that?
Watching the tall, mighty, and charming Gu Jingze carry Lin Che who was like a little lamb, he looked very handsome. It was enough to make every woman envy her.
Every woman wished to be carried by a charming man like that. It was so sexy.
Lin Li was secretly cursing, This Lin Che. How did she get so lucky?
Qin Qing who was watching felt uneasiness in his heart. He wanted to follow but a guard in black stopped him, swiftly blocking his path and separating him from the couple. He could not go closer.
Qin Qing grew hatred towards himself as he felt like Gu Jingze and he were like Heaven and Earth. He could not even get close to Gu Jingze physically.
Seeing them leave, the high and mighty officers immediately bowed their heads and followed behind. Han Caiying huffed, "What's the meaning of this? Coming here to show off in front of us?"
Lin Li glared and sulked, "This Gu Jingze is some guy."
However, it was undeniable. The difference was obvious between the powerful and the weak.
Qin Qing took a deep breath, "There is indeed no match for the Gu family in this country. One is at the top in politics and another is a giant in business."
Lin Li heard and her face turned red like a tomato. That damned Lin Che… She did not deserve all that luck.
Gu Jingze ushered Lin Che into the car.
He climbed in after her. Lin Che collapsed in his arms.
Gu Jingze observed how weak she was. He hardened his eyes as he stared ahead and told Qin Hao, "I need someone to be responsible for this."
Qin Hao nodded, "Yes, Sir."
As soon as Lin Che got in the car, she fell unconscious into Gu Jingze's arms.
Lin Che had no clue why she was suddenly so weak, but Gu Jingze attributed it to her old injuries that had not fully healed.
Even though her injuries were healed on the outside, she lost a lot of blood during that time. It must have certainly made her weak until now.
Gu Jingze carried her back home and put her down on the bed. His eyes grew darker as he looked at her chapped lips and slight frown.
Damned woman… always getting herself into trouble.
He reached his hand out and brushed her forehead lightly.
Feeling slightly better, her frown dissipated.
Just as Gu Jingze was about to walk away, he felt her hand faintly grabbing his finger. He looked deeply at her pale face and decided to stay. Her teeth chattered, indicating that she was cold. He placed the back of his hand on her forehead. It was boiling hot. He thought for a while before lifting the blanket and laying beside her.
He remembered how he had a high fever when he was a child. His whole body was hot and cold, and his hands and feet were like ice. His mother would do the same, holding his limbs until they warmed up and his fever subsided.
He hugged her tightly and held her close in his embrace.
He reached out for the bell at the bedside and called for a maid.
"Call for Chen Yucheng."
Doctor Chen soon arrived.
The maid said, "Madam must have fallen sick."
Chen Yucheng muttered, "Since when did he let me see other patients?"
He was an internationally-renowned doctor. He was later found by the Gu family. During his research, he was only allowed to be Gu Jingze's personal doctor. For many years, if there was no research needed, he did not see anyone else.
Chen Yucheng opened the door to see Gu Jingze lying on his bed. In his arms, a girl was silently curled up just like a kitten.
"Sorry, sorry. I didn't know you guys were…" Chen Yucheng hastily closed the door.
Inside, Gu Jingze's face was dark.
"Come in," he called at the door.
Chen Yucheng thought about it, That was not it. They appeared to be fully clothed. Thus, when he heard Gu Jingze call for him, he opened the door again.
Gu Jingze looked carefully at the girl in his arms and said, "For some reason, she got a fever."
After just one night at the police station, she fainted upon returning home. He did not know what happened to her.
Chen Yucheng saw how serious Gu Jingze was and quickly went over to take a look.
After checking, Chen Yucheng said helplessly, "Mr. Gu. Your wife has the common cold."
"…" Gu Jingze asked, "Just a cold?"
"Indeed. A fever, a blocked air passage, and an inflamed throat. These are obvious symptoms of the common cold."
Gu Jingze relaxed a little and replied, "You may go."
Chen Yucheng was speechless. He was urgently called over. But after he found that it was just a cold, he was being chased out?
"Sir, there are many general practitioners around. Maybe you can call them next time."
Gu Jingze was silent. His gaze was still fixated on Lin Che and he said plainly, "Yes. I feel like I haven't had a problem for many years now. Yet there's no results from the research. I'm much better these days but that doesn't seem to be because of you. I'll just get a general practitioner next time. You don't have to come anymore."
"…" Chen Yucheng quickly replied, "I'm just joking. General practitioners are not as knowledgeable. The missus falling sick is a serious matter. You were right to call me over."
Gu Jingze raised his head to glance at him before signaling him to leave.
Chen Yucheng immediately left.
Although Gu Jingze heard that it was just the cold, he could not relax. He continued hugging her closely and keeping her hands and feet warm.
Lin Che could only feel her cold body as if she was still at the police station, suffering helplessly.
She felt herself getting pulled up. Someone was silently grasping her hand and helping her up.
Suddenly, she recalled that she seemed to have been standing beside Qin Qing. She opened her mouth with all her might, trying to speak. However, she could only let out faintly, "Qin Qing…"
Gu Jingze was stunned at first. He moved closer to her lips and listened carefully.
She groggily repeated the name. It was indeed Qin Qing…
Gu Jingze immediately let go of her, standing up and staring at the woman in his bed.
"Qin…" she said again softly. Gu Jingze lifted the blanket.
"Lin Che, wake up. Get a hold of yourself. Who am I?" he forcefully pulled Lin Che out of the bed, his black eyes glistening with anger.
Lin Che opened her eyes, still in a daze. Upon seeing a face filled with rage, she slowly woke up.
It was Gu Jingze.
"It's you?" she was surprised to know that he came.
She could not get through to his phone. How did he know what happened to her?
Gu Jingze rolled his eyes and smiled coldly, "Why? Are you upset to see me instead of your darling Qin Qing?"
Lin Che was shocked. Noticing the hatred burning in his eyes, she remembered how he said she was misleading the youths and was a fake.
He was still holding her shoulders. He looked cold and his face was distant.
She pushed his hands away.
"Let go of me. What are you doing?"
She had dared to push him?
Gu Jingze was pushed aside but he grabbed her wrist, "Why? You feel disgusted that it's me who is touching you and not Qin Qing? That's too bad. Qin Qing is already someone else's fiancé. You have a crush on him but he doesn't even know. Lin Che, just give up."
"You…" Lin Che was exasperated upon listening to his sharp words.
With more strength, she tried to pry away his hand, "Let me go, Gu Jingze. Let me go now. I'm just a fake. Don't dirty your hand by touching me."
Gu Jingze was enraged. Looking at her struggle, his eyes glistened. With both hands, he grabbed hold of her shoulders and pushed her down.
Both of them landed on the soft bed, his body pressing on top of her and engulfing her with his masculinity.
Lin Che screamed, "Gu Jingze, go away. You're a… fool, a bastard. Let go of me!"
She could spend all day trying to find a good word that could really insult him.
Although she was weak, she struggled with all she had. She was clearly powerless against him but she still tried to push him away like a cotton ball hitting uselessly at his chest. He did not even flinch.
Gu Jingze was swayed by her.
Lin Che realized how amazing his strength was. No matter what she did, he was as sturdy as a rock and refused to budge. Annoyed, she lifted her knee and aimed directly downwards…
