Holding On to My Man

Chapter 14-15

After escaping from Nie Qingcang's grasp, Gu Bai ran like he was chased by a ghost and never dared to look back until he reached a place he felt safe to stop and catch his breath.

Right now he doesn't have the time to get involve with Nie Qingcang. According to Nie Qingcang's stinky temper, things can't be cleared up in a short moment. He will just do his task first then slowly explain to that man.

As for the idea of ​​completing the task directly, Gu Bai doesn't have any. The Nie family is so powerful, he doesn't think that he can escape smoothly, and his plan still needs the help of Nie Qingcang.

After sorting out his emotions, Gu Bai first reported to the police and exposed from Nan Lichen's side. Then he immediately sent a text message to Wu Zhenzhen with Nan Lichen’s mobile phone.

In order to make things more realistic, after doing all this, Gu Bai took out the drug vial that he found from Nan Lichen and looked at it for a while. He resolutely poured out two drops and drank it.

After throwing the rest away, he took out a mobile phone and reported an illegal gathering spot, then he stumbled to the park corner mentioned to Wu Zhenzhen on the phone...

Soon, Gu Bai heard footsteps in the quiet surrounding, he then slightly opened his eyes and saw four or five people walking towards him. The person leading is a beautiful young woman wearing sunglasses, it's Wu Zhenzhen who hates Lu Rongqing to the bones!

Even with the poor lighting, Gu Bai can vaguely see how treacherous Wu Zhenzhen's face is as she walked to his front.

Seemingly still anxious, Wu Zhenzhen first examined Gu Bai and found that he did indeed took the drug. He was flushed and disorientedand, his face only showed a satisfied smile.

"Lu Rongqing, I originally wanted to let you be happy for a few more days, but you fail to appreciate kindness and just won't take the bait. In that case, I'll directly send you to hell. If you want to blame, then blame yourself for being too stupid!"

After that, Wu Zhenzhen let others tie him, then they lifted him up and threw him into a van. Gu Bai didn't resist and let them act.

Then the van started moving and stopped after a while. Gu Bai was defiantly brought into a remote villa.

Compared to the quiet seclusion outside, evil spirits of all kinds danced in riotous revelry inside the villa*.

*demons and monsters danced like mad; rogues of all kinds running wild

As soon as he entered, Gu Bai first heard the sound of deafening music, and then his slightly opened eyes were filled with colorful lights and a crowd of people dancing.

The curvaceous dancer danced erotically around the pole, some people below the stage applauded and whistled, while some jumped on to the stage and danced with the dancer and did all sorts of dirty moves. There are even people gathered together to take drugs, the scene is extremely messy.

Wu Zhenzhen seems to be very familiar with this place, many people greeted her when she entered. Someone even teased, "Hey, Miss Wu is sending over a fun toy again?"

"This toy is not for you guys today...."

Wu Zhenzhen greeted them with familiarity*.

*熟门熟路 a familiar road and a familiar door - things that one knows well; be familiar with (a situation, etc.); be on good terms with someone

Obviously, more than a few people were brought in by her. She wanted all those who had previously offended her to have the same fate as her.

However, Lu Rongqing is more unlucky because of his beautiful looks. In the story, after he was thrown by Wu Zhenzhen to this place and got played by others miserably, he couldn't stand it and immediately commited suicide.

Currently, Wu Zhenzhen let others look at him and didn't throw him into the hall for the time being. Instead, she looked up at the second floor. She doesn't want to just punish him lightly for a while and then end it.

In this kind of party, there are quite a few perverts. Those in the hall are actually too ‘normal’. To thoroughly take down Lu Rongqing, naturally, those who have special perverted hobbies, come.....

Gu Bai estimated that the police should be here soon. When Wu Zhenzhen threw him into a spacious room and went to look for a special group of people to 'serve' him, he quickly made his way into the toilet and locked it.

Do not know if it's because she's too confident or because she looks down on him, Wu Zhenzhen didn't take away his mobile phone and other things.

After entering the toilet, to prevent from the police coming too late, Gu Bai took off the ropes and thought for a while, then he called Nie Qingcang.

"Hey? What do you want to do again?!" Separated from Nie Qingcang for almost two hours, Nie Qincang's anger clearly still haven't disappear, the tone was very bad.

Gu Bai thought of the entanglement before and was helpless for a bit, finally in a panicked tone he said, "Brother, save me...."

"Where are you? What happened?" Nie Qingcang's voice on the phone changed, and vaguely there was also the sound of something that tripped over.

"I... I don't know. There are so many people here. They don't even wear clothes, but... They also took drugs, danced, hey, they gave me something to eat, hey, I don't know what it is, it's good, it's uncomfortable, it's hot. ..."

Gu Bai panicked, while calmly unbuttoning the clothes button air, in order to realistically he drank two drops of medicine, not serious, but not too comfortable.

After that, regardless of the voice of Nie Qingcang who was on the phone, he dropped the phone.

Since Nie Qingcang found the villa that Nan Lichen took him to today, surely he can also find this place. He's certain Nie Qingcang that bastard put trackers and the like in his mobile phone. Really abnormal!

Gu Bai said secretly as he rested against the wall and waited.

After about ten minutes, Wu Zhenzhen still haven't return. Gu Bai heard an uproar outside, accompanied by the screams of both men and women, and the police shouting, 'Don't move! Hold your head down!'

Then the toilet door was banged and Nie Qingcang’s voice rang outside. “Rongqing, are you inside? Open the door, it's me....”

Gu Bai happily opened the door quickly, and then walked out being 'weak and feeble', tearful eyes stared at Nie Qingcang.

Looking at his flushed and disheveled appearance, Nie Qingcang's eyes reddened. He strode over, took off his coat and wrapped up Gu Bai tightly.

After getting in the car, Nie Qingcang carefully scanned Gu Bai. He itched to take those clothes off and check again, but considering that the boy in his arms kept shivering, he didn't dare to be reckless.

"Don't be afraid, don't be afraid brother is here..." Nie Qingcang patted Gu Bai's back and stiffly comforted "Tell me, what happened? How can you be there? Were you disobedient and went out with a group of scoundrels....."

"No, I didn't, I don't know, I don't know....."

Gu Bai shook his head sporadically, leaned tightly against his chest, and his body trembled continuously, as if he was afraid and can't even speak fully.

The secretary Chen in front turned back and pushed his glasses "Boss, the young master doesn't look like he went on his own. Look at his arms, there are traces of rope binding..."

Nie Qingcang looked down and sure enough, the arm is full of rope marks, this is a kidnap!

He was silent for a few minutes with a sullen face, then he pulled out his phone and dialed.

"Hello, director Song? I'm Nie Qingcang. Help me lock all those people caught today, don't let go even one...It's alright, if something goes wrong I will take responsibility....."

He hung up and went back to secretary Chen: "You will immediately return to the police station, keep an eye and investigate it for me! I would like to see who is so bold and dare to go against my Nie family! ”

Nie Qingcang's face was darker than ever and his tone grim.

Listening up to this point, Gu Bai sighed with relief. There is no need for him to do anything next. Handing everything over to Nie Qingcang is OK.

The odd of success is not great if he deals with Wu Zhenzhen alone, he wouldn’t be able to knock down Wu Zhenzhen. After all, the Wu family still had some status. As long as the Wu family exists, then Wu Zhenzhen is still the Wu family’s eldest miss.

However, it's not the same when switched to Nie Qingcang. For Nie's business to become so big, it didn't just rely on the business minds of several generations of the Nie family. The family of Nie Qingcang’s grandmother has a deep relationship with the government. To the Nie family, Wu family is nothing at all. 

In the story, if Lu Rongqing didn't aggravated Nie father and son's distaste, he won't have been contrived by Wu Zhenzhen like that, and afterwards Nie family didn't stood up for him at all.

At this moment, Lu Rongqing isn't despised by the Nie family. Nie Qingcang will help him drag Wu Zhenzhen out!

As soon as the task was thought to be completed, he waited for the good news. Gu Bai leaned back and relaxed on Nie Qingcang. The effect on his body hasn't recede yet. He was a bit uncomfortable and exhausted at the moment.

He can't help but secretly wonder where on earth did Wu Zhenzhen get the drug, the effect is actually so strong, but fortunately he only had two drops, if he took a little more, it's won't simply pass by enduring.

When Nie Qingcang felt his movements and looked down at his slightly sweaty, ugly and flushed face, his heart became a little softer.....

On the other side, the police also found the villa where Nan Lichen is located and found a large amount of drugs in the villa.

Sitting in the police station, Nan Lichen looked at the 'evidence' on the table and his face turned completely white.

"It's not me, it's not mine!" Nan Lichen shook his head and denied it.

"We will investigate. Please tell us everything you know. Where did these things come from? Who is the middleman*?" The police asked with a cold face.

*接头人 a contact, especially an underground agent responsible for contacting other agents

"I said it wasn't me, there's no middleman!"

Nan Lichen shouted at his face. Don't say he has never done this kind of thing, even if he did it, he can't easily admit it.

"If it's not you, then where did these things come from?!"

Nan Lichen's face paled, his brain is constantly thinking and in a entire mess.

These things appeared inexplicably in the place he lived. How would he know where it came from? He never took anyone to that place on weekdays.

Nan Lichen adamantly shook his head. "I really don't know. I don't know..."

The police interrogating looked at him and continued to sneer.

"Don't know? Let me tell you, Master Lu was kidnapped last night. You were with him last night. This is a very serious matter. It involves not only kidnapping, but also pornography, drug and even gang rape. You better honestly explain what you know, frankly confess..."

"You, what did you say..."

Nan Lichen's face became slightly paler. He remembered the call for help before he fainted.

Kidnap and rape? Could it be that last night Rongqing already....

It's Wu Zhenzhen, it should be Wu Zhenzhen!

"I'll confess..."

Nan Lichen let out a sigh and lowered his head.

The power of Nie family is not small, things were quickly found out.

Most of the partygoers in the villa were wealthy young masters and young misses from powerful families. This kind of gathering is a well-known event, even if they get caught, they will just stay for a night at the police station.

However, with the intervention of Nie Qingcang, things won't end so easily.

Nie Qingcang is a man from the upper class, where everyone's reputation is well known. His bad temper is notorious in the circles, but he is also very business-minded. Ever since he took over the Nie family, Nie's called half of the country's economic lifeline.

Furthermore, Nie family's old lady was born into a military and political family, incredibly powerful. At this moment, Nie Qingcang wants to detain people and investigate things, few people would dare not give face.

Under the family's injunction, a group of arrogant young masters and young misses all obediently cooperated and answered whatever was asked. That day when Wu Zhenzhen took Lu Rongqing to the villa, it wasn't covered up. Wu Zhenzhen was therefore quickly dug out.

Nan Lichen's side also honestly explained things.

With Gu Bai's previous foreshadowing, Nan Lichen quickly connected the whole situation in his brain, it was also logically smooth.

Although he doesn't know why Wu Zhenzhen hates Lu Rongqing so much, it's a fact that Wu Zhenzhen screwed Lu Rongqing. Lu Rongqing has the Nie family backing him, once she doesn't do well, her boat will flip over*.

*fail miserably

Therefore, in order to not let the matter become exposed, it's very natural that 'after the cunning hare is killed, the hound is boiled'*, using drugs to frame him into entering jail and then find an opportunity to let him die in the cell.

*immediately abandon that person after using him

This is very safe, not afraid of things being exposed. After all, trying to kill someone in prison is simple and safe!

Nan Lichen doesn't want to die, not just because of his father in the hospital, but he himself also doesn't want to die.

Having mixed with the outside world for so long, he wasn't a fool. After dealing with Wu Zhenzhen, he did a good job of keeping the evidence left behind. At this moment, in order to alleviate his crimes, he poured out all the things and evidence.

When Nie Qingcang saw his confession, the pressure allover his body fell to the extreme.

Rape, drug, promiscuity*, this is what Wu Zhenzhen wants to do to Lu Rongqing!

*can also mean 'to fall into bad company'

He couldn't imagine the appearance of the boy afterwards if these plans were successful, he couldn't imagine his pure and well-behaved boy becoming dirty and filthy.

The result of Nie Qingcang’s anger was very serious. Three days, in just a short three days, the Wu family went bankrupt.

As Wu Zhenzhen's fiancé, Fu Zixuan certainly has to step forward. When he found Nie Qingcang, Nie Qingcang just coldly tossed the investigation data to him.

"Look at these data by yourself..."

The document bag didn't only include things targeting Lu Rongqing, but also carried all of Wu Zhenzhen's method and process of revenge against other enemies.

Fu Zixuan finished looking all of it with a pale face. Without saying anything anymore, he silently turned and left.

He couldn’t imagine that all those things were done by the gentle and kind girl in his heart.....

The marriage contract between Fu Zixuan and Wu Zhenzhen was dismissed. After receiving the news, Wu Zhenzhen suffered another blow and her whole face grim.

"Why? Why do you want to break off the marriage contract with me? They are all guilty and deserves to be punished. All of them shouldn't have a peaceful death. Zixuan, you know, you know Wu Xiangxiang is the slut who harmed me. Zixuan, you even said that you will help me, you will support me... I will let all those savages that harmed me suffer the same pain, I want to take back everything that belongs to me!”

Fu Zixuan looked at her that was somewhat crazy, his heart overflowing with pain.

He knew that this girl suffered and was in a difficult situation at home. He also knew that Wu Zhenzhen used many means to deal with the illegitimate children of the family.

He didn't mind these things. He was so distressed that this girl suffered so much, everyone around her eyed her with hostility*.

*to glare like a tiger watching it's prey (idiom)

But he said that he would protect her, and she only needs to live a happy life. He can understand why she counterattacked those people, but.....

"Zhenzhen, I can understand you retaliating against your sister and all those people who eyed you with hostility, but what about Lu Rongqing? And those other people?"

"They are also guilty and deserves to be punished!"

There is no way to explain the matters of her previous life, Wu Zhenzhen can only shriek and yell.

"Are you really certain? Zhenzhen, think about it properly...."

Fu Zixuan sighed. There are people on the list who are indeed guilty and deserved punishment, but some were not. Wu Zhenzhen is stunned.....

The dismissal of the marriage contract and the departure of Fu Zixuan made Wu Zhenzhen suffer a greater blow than Wu family's bankruptcy. The intertwined images of past and present life made her miserable.

The bankruptcy of Wu family is not her only ending because she used too many illegal means in the process of revenge; Drug, kidnap, rape, and even murder involving several human lives. The government already doesn't have the death penalty anymore, so she was sentenced to life imprisonment.

The days in prison weren't easy, she was beaten every night by female prisoners in the same cell. There isn't a single piece of perfect skin on the body

Even the female prisoner who had more say in the same cell was one of the people she had retaliated against, so her days in prison were even more difficult.

Just a few days later, she was already about to collapse. Even during her despair in her previous life, she never had to endure such torment, let alone this endless prison sentence.

She remembered her glorious self who had a promising future after rebirth, and looking at the current ugly and filthy prison uniform, she was miserable. She can't understand why after being given the chance of rebirth by God, things would still become like this....

Gu Bai only had a faint smile after hearing her news. Rebirth is a gift from heaven, but in the future, repeating the same mistake and entering hell or a bright heaven, all depends on personal decisions.

There is a good saying, "God brings rain, and the people bring disaster...."*

*天作有雨, 人作有祸 (Please let me know if there's a better translation for this!)

Warning people not to do bad things to avoid causing a disaster.

Because Nan Lichen was an accomplice, he naturally can't escape. Under Nie Qingcang's wrathful operation, he was also sentenced to life imprisonment.

Recieving the news, Gu Bai went to the police station.

In the prison visiting room separated by glass, he saw Nan Lichen. However, in just a few days, the glory of his male god is no longer, he became haggard.

"I'm sorry……"

Nan Lichen guiltily looked at Gu Bai.

Gu Bai didn't speak, but only looked at him with a very silent gaze. The gaze carried inexplicable sorrow, making the guilt is his heart grow deeper bit by bit.

"Do you really like Rongqing....."

For a long while, Gu Bai looked at him, his eyes seem to be laughing and also seem to be crying. A faint voice fell by Nan Lichen's ear, like a heavy hammer that smashed his heart.

Nan Lichen opened his mouth and seem to want to say something, but he couldn't make a sound.

He looked at the boy who seemed to have smiled lightly. The smile is as pure as ever, but a bit of sadness has been added into this purity, which was given by him.

The visit ended and the boy left.

In the evening, he received a phone call from the hospital, it was his father's feeble voice.

"Son, the source for the kidneys has been found. It was a good boy who helped. He said that he's your friend. He also said that you went to work at a place far away to raise money, it'll take a long time to for you come back and said that you let him help take care of me. Son, why did you went in such a rush? Also didn't tell Dad a word...."

"Hehe, son, is he the one you said is very special, the boy whose eyes looks very good when he smiles and is very shy? Son, Dad knows, you don’t have to hide from Dad. Boy or girl, as long as you like, Dad won't oppose. Dad doesn't have much time left, just want to see you happy. It's Dad who troubled you, you can be rest assured, I will be fine soon. When that time comes, come back early to accompany him, Dad can tell that that child also likes you....."

"......"

Holding the phone in a daze, Nan Lichen couldn’t say a single word. The heart seems to have been crushed, extremely painful.

***************

Leaving the prison, Gu Bai got on a car back to Nie family. The reason is naturally because of Nie Thigh's summon.

As for why Nie Thigh would look for him, he can pretty much guess it.

So when he returned home and saw the document bag that Nie Qingcang threw over, he put it aside without opening it. Then he naturally picked up the cake on the table and ate while nodding with his bulging cheeks.

"Yes, I admit. As you can see, I actually knew about Wu Zhenzhen's scheme from the beginning, so I started to defend myself very early on. I did it intentionally..."

While talking, Gu Bai looked at Nie Qingcang, whose facial expression wasn't that good. Smiling with squinted eyes, it was a bit incomparably pure.

"So, brother, you guessed right. From start to finish, I never thought about reforming*. The obedient little brother you anticipated for, I'm afraid that it will be a disappointment..."

*convert from a bad life to a good one; correct one's mistakes and turn over a new leaf

He wasn't surprised at all that Nie Qingcang found out what he did in private. Besides, he can't wait for Nie Qingcang to clearly see his ‘true face’ at this moment and drive him out of Nie family.

These past few days, he was really scared by the look of Nie Qingcang staring at his ass. Without a doubt, if he continues to stay in Nie family, his chrysanthemum can't be protected!

The task is already completed anyway. At worst, he will give up his days of living in this world and return to the starry space, then go to the next world.

Although his soul had a very comfortable feeling when he kissed Nie Qingcang last time, he also didn't forget the terrifying feeling, as if this person can dominate everything, and the frightening illusion of his soul being devoured.

Instinctively, he can feel the danger.

Nie Qingcang looked at Gu Bai who confessed straightforwardly and already don't know how many times the state of mind has changed recently.

He originally thought that the previously irritating and trouble making little brother already changed for the better and became obedient. The pure and clear eyes that people are so fond of, turns out this boy is pure and lovable.

As a result, when he received another document while investigating Wu Zhenzhen, this document smacked his face to the point he couldn't come back down to earth*.

*can't return to reality

"At that time, did you deliberately make advances towards me?" Nie Qingcang spoke slowly, there was a kind of repressed anger in his voice.

"Yes!" Gu Bai nodded his head cheerfully.

"Afterwards, it was also intentional? You have been using me all these time?"

Gu Bai continued to seek death. "Yes, I did it on purpose. I'm no match for Wu Zhenzhen by myself and can only find you, but you hated me so much before. If I didn't pretend to be a bit more obedient, how could you help me?"

"What about that night? You were also intentional on the highway that night?..." Spoken as if words were forced out from that man's teeth.

Looking at his increasingly ugly facial expression, Gu Bai couldn't help but gulped, he didn't dare to nod again and spoke weakly.

"That night, that night it was clearly you who first..." Forcefully kissed me!

He couldn't say the following words because the man in front of him already stuck their bodies togerther, firmly pressing him, once again re-enact the strong kiss from that day.

"mmph……"

The suffocating feeling of all his breath being taken away made Gu Bai twist his tongue in panic to resist the spirited tongue that's ravaging in all directions.

Unexpectedly, this action actually increased the pressure on his lips. Nie Qingcang's strength made him unable to break free, he could only let out "Mmmph mmph" sounds.

His resistance was entirely imprisoned and the feeling of his soul being nourished gradually repelled his senses. Gu Bai's eyes opened, as his mind tangled over wether he should enjoy or refuse, he did one last struggle.

He is just a passer-by in this world. Entangling too much, will he be able to let go? Can he? All those who knew Gu Bai said that he's heartless.....

However, with Nie Qingcang's fierce sucking, Gu Bai was unable to struggle in the end.

He raised his hands and timidly held Nie Qingcangs’s head to pull him closer to himself.
