In the carriage, neither Ye Xunhuan nor Su Guyan spoke a word, casting a somewhat oppressive atmosphere within.

Under this tension, Ye Xunhuan had brought Su Guyan to the hotel.

"Would you like to come up and sit for a while?" Su Guyan invited Ye Xunhuan.

Ye Xunhuan observed the pleading look on Su Guyan’s face, pondered for a moment, and eventually nodded, then followed Su Guyan into the hotel.

Su Guyan was staying in the presidential suite, which did not surprise Ye Xunhuan in the slightest.

Although he wasn’t certain about the specifics of the Emperor Group, anyone who could invest in a racetrack and also play a decisive role within the Emperor Group had to be someone with significant power and wealth in the organization.

Adding to that, Su Guyan was now Mu Tiange’s wife; although it was more nominal than real, the title held its weight, and money was naturally not an issue.

"Have a seat!" Su Guyan said softly to Ye Xunhuan, "What would you like to drink?"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t stand on ceremony and sat down on the sofa: "Anything is fine."

Seeing Ye Xunhuan’s response, Su Guyan didn’t ask further and skillfully brewed a pot of tea.

"Who were those people?" Ye Xunhuan asked, unable to restrain himself, "Why did they want to capture you?"

Su Guyan fell silent.

Seeing Su Guyan bow her head in silence, Ye Xunhuan gave a wry smile. She was still the same as before; whenever you asked her something she didn’t want to discuss, she would just lower her head and remain silent.

No matter what you asked, she would stay silent, not making a sound, just like that.

Looking at the silent Su Guyan before him, Ye Xunhuan was once again reminded of the past her and himself.

But Ye Xunhuan knew that this was not the past, and he and Su Guyan couldn’t possibly return to what they once were.

Life is such, you think you’ve met the right person at the right time, but later on, fate will tell you, child, it was all just your illusion!

Ye Xunhuan sighed softly, "You’re still the same as before, every time you don’t want to talk about something, you just lower your head and stay silent!"

You’re still the same as before!

Upon hearing these words, Su Guyan’s delicate body trembled slightly.

Just once, very faintly.

Does he still remember what the past her was like?

Has he not forgotten her?

For a moment, Su Guyan’s heart was completely filled with complex emotions.

"Although you don’t say it, I can tell that you’re in trouble, and it’s not minor trouble either. From the first time I saw you, someone wanted to kill you. That time we went out together, there was still someone who wanted to kill you, and now, someone even tried to take you away!" Ye Xunhuan took a deep breath and said, "This is not a good sign."

Ever since Ye Xunhuan had seen Su Guyan again, it seemed he had never seen her at peace.

"You don’t have to say anything, and I won’t force you. But if there’s something that requires my help, just let me know!"

"Thank you, Xunhuan!"

Ye Xunhuan smiled, "It’s nothing. You should rest well. I have to go to work now!"

"Won’t you sit for a while longer?"

"No, I’ve got work," Ye Xunhuan said indifferently, "You better not go out. If you do, take someone with you!"

Saying this, Ye Xunhuan stood up and walked towards the door, but just as he stood up, it seemed as if he remembered something and asked again, "Do you have a pen?"

"Yes!"

"I need to use this for a sec, and grab a sheet of paper!"

Although Su Guyan didn’t know what Ye Xunhuan was going to do, she still handed him a sheet of paper and a pen.

After receiving the paper and pen, Ye Xunhuan swiftly wrote down a phone number!

"Given your current situation, you should hire a bodyguard. If you trust me, call this number and say that I referred you," Ye Xunhuan handed the paper back to Su Guyan, "He will find you a bodyguard who is quite skilled!"

"That way, if you run into this kind of situation again, you won’t appear so helpless!"

Su Guyan was stunned and looked at Ye Xunhuan in disbelief; she had never dreamed that Ye Xunhuan asked for paper and pen just to give her a number.

"Alright, I’m off!"

Ye Xunhuan didn’t pay attention to the expression on Su Guyan’s face and turned to walk towards the door. As he reached the doorway, he seemed to think of something, stopped, slowly turned back, and said to Su Guyan, "By the way, that young man who spoke to you earlier, he’s your bodyguard, right?"

"Yes, what about it?"

"Keep an eye on him, he seems a bit off!"

The moment Ye Xunhuan drove off, he had felt that something was not right with the young man but had chosen not to say anything.

Thinking it over now, Ye Xunhuan decided it was better to warn Su Guyan.

After all, it is essential to be wary of others, and Su Guyan was lucky to have run into him this time, but whether she would be so fortunate next time was uncertain.

After hearing Ye Xunhuan’s warning, Su Guyan felt a tremor in her heart, and the events she had encountered today involuntarily flashed through her mind.

How could the other party be so familiar with her movements?

Moreover, everything seemed to have been meticulously arranged beforehand, just waiting for her to fall into the trap.

Upon closer consideration, Su Guyan felt more and more that today’s events were unusual; everything seemed orchestrated by someone else.

Su Guyan’s face turned extremely unsightly at this thought!

"Liu Hu, I’ve treated you like a confidant, if you dare betray me, I’ll make sure you die a thousand deaths!"

At this moment, Su Guyan seemed like a different person, her face filled with murderous intent!

She, Su Guyan, might doubt the words of anyone else in the world, but she would never doubt Ye Xunhuan, or to put it another way, even if Ye Xunhuan wanted to harm her, she would willingly let him do so!

Such was the love that had seeped into her bones and blood: Even facing a ravine a thousand zhang deep, she’d leap without hesitation, even at the cost of her life!

Holding the phone number Ye Xunhuan left her, Su Guyan took a deep breath, then swiftly walked to the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing down silently as she watched Ye Xunhuan leave.

"Xunhuan, I’m sorry, it’s not that I don’t want to tell you, but that I don’t want to drag you down with me!" Su Guyan murmured to herself.

After Ye Xunhuan left the hotel, his heart was entirely shrouded by a heavy and oppressive feeling.

Who on earth had Su Guyan offended?

Why were there assassins and kidnappings involved?

Who wants to harm her, and why would anyone want to do that?

And facing such a situation, has Mu Tiange always been indifferent?

After exhaling a heavy breath, Ye Xunhuan dialed a number!

The call was answered in an instant!

"Check what kind of trouble Su Gu from the Emperor Group has encountered for me!" Ye Xunhuan ordered. "Send the information to my email!"
