Chapter 123: Unforeseen Change

“Wait!”

He Youran immediately grabbed Chen Meiyu’s wrist.

“Hand over the money and the person at the same time!”

Lu Shouxin was still in He Nantian’s hands, yet Chen Meiyu wanted to take the money?

“Youran, do you still not trust us?” Chen Meiyu awkwardly used her free hand to brush her hair that was messed up by the wind and smirked, “I’m your mother, Nantian is your father, Shouxin is our grandson, can we still harm him? As long as we get the money, we’ll release him immediately!”

Chen Meiyu was speaking the truth.

Regardless of whether she treated He Youran and Lu Shouxin as family or not, she and He Nantian really wanted to take the money and leave as soon as possible in order to avoid any unnecessary complications.

“Do you think that you can leave just because you get the money?” Gu Zimu suddenly asked.

He Nantian was shocked by Chen Meiyu’s gaze.

Gu Zimu smiled when he saw that they were all looking at him.

“Do you believe that you will be captured by the Lu family before you even leave this wild sea after you receive the money?”

“It can’t be…” He Nantian shook his head. After he said that, he looked at He Youran with uncertainty.

Seeing that she was expressionless and her eyes were colder than the sea, he couldn’t help but feel his heart skip a beat.

After He Youran returned from abroad, she seemed to have changed into a different person. Indeed, he couldn’t speculate about her based on the situation five years ago.

“No? Even if Lu Shouxin is not Lu Qingzhuo’s son, after this public announcement, isn’t he still Lu Qingzhuo’s son? You have openly captured the future leader of the Lu family. Will Lu Qingzhuo let this go?” Gu Zimu snorted.

“Lu Qingzhuo is counting on this move to bring the Lu family back to life. You have messed up his chessboard. Will he let you off? As for He Youran, she is now one with the Lu family. No matter how unwilling she is, for the Lu family, Lu Qingzhuo will not give up on the mother and son so easily!”

That’s right!

They were too careless!

He Nantian was drenched in sweat. Even his right hand, which was holding the dagger, was drenched in sweat. The hilt of the dagger was so slippery that he almost couldn’t hold it.

After Gu Zimu’s analysis, he didn’t dare to imagine the consequences of being caught by the Lu family!

But what should they do now?

If they didn’t take the money, they would have already caught them and offended the Lu family.

If they took the money, they wouldn’t be able to run far in a short period of time.

He Nantian and Chen Meiyu looked at each other, unable to make a decision.

“Gu Zimu is right. But, we are family after all. As long as you return to the right path and take the money and stop causing trouble, I will convince Mr. Lu to let you go!”

Seeing that they were wavering, He Youran quickly said.

She hated Gu Zimu to death now!

She glared fiercely at Gu Zimu, but Gu Zimu did not seem to feel her disgust. When he saw her look over, he even smiled at her.

He Youran had never thought that Gu Zimu’s rather handsome face would one day be so detestable!

“Do you believe her?” Gu Zimu said slowly. “Just based on that shallow affection between the two of you?”

Over the years, almost everyone in Rong city knew how the He family treated He Youran.

In particular, five years ago, Chen Meiyu had schemed against He Youran, causing her to lose her virginity. She had also personally sent her to prison. If it was anyone else, they would probably fight to the death with their family, right?

He Nantian and Chen Meiyu were also clear in their hearts.

However, they had a little bit of luck. They thought that He Youran would not kill them all.

“Although the Lu family isn’t as strong as before, if they really want to take revenge, even a hundred He families in Rong City won’t be able to withstand it.” Gu Zimu added fuel to their unease. “Are you really going to bet your lives on it?”
