Chapter 27 The Sequel to the Vicious Counterfeit Gold (Part 1)
As soon as Fuqin finished speaking, Ji Qingwei appeared at the door.
She became increasingly aloof and thinner. Under the sunlight, her body was straighter than the bamboo outside, which made Qingyu click her tongue in disapproval. She whispered to the system, "Your once beautiful figure has turned into a bamboo pole. No wonder you had a falling out with the male lead."
The system smiled and tried its best to be gentle, saying, "...Don't you have any idea how the male and female leads broke up?"
Qingyu pursed her lips, "It's his own problem that he can't get over his lustful nature, it's none of my business."
With that, Qingyu nodded and looked down at Ji Qingwei, "Let me out. You have no right to lock me up."
“You are a member of the Ji family, so of course I have the right to answer.” Ji Qingwei replied calmly. She was already used to the arrogant attitude of the girl in front of her. If it were anyone else, she would definitely make them pay the price.
But Ji Qingwei had boundless patience when it came to Qingyu.
She slowly approached, her eyes tender. Seeing the resentment on Qingyu's face, she could only helplessly explain in a soft voice, "Things are not peaceful outside right now. The Fifth Prince and Gu Ye are locked in a fierce struggle, and recently Gu Ye has set his sights on... you."
The last word seemed extremely difficult to utter. Ji Qingwei stared intently at Qingyu with deep eyes, and when she saw the surprised expression on the latter's face, she breathed a sigh of relief.
As long as you're not shy, it's fine.
Qingyu asked, feigning annoyance, "Why is he targeting me? It must be because of you. You should arrange for me to leave immediately. I don't want to get involved with you."
His confident and self-righteous remarks about escaping made the system in the shadows roll its eyes repeatedly.
It really was true that, even though it knew what kind of dog Qingyu was, every time it heard such remarks, it had the feeling of wanting to change hosts!
Ji Qingwei, on the other hand, smiled indulgently and teased, "So timid?"
She paused, then continued, "Once this is all settled, I will let you leave."
Find a beautiful house and hide the person there.
Thinking of this, Ji Qingwei's smile became even more radiant.
However, at that moment, a sound suddenly rang out outside, followed by several screams.
"Who!" Ji Qingwei's expression changed instantly, her face turning cold. She subconsciously stood in front of Qingyu, radiating a chilling aura.
Suddenly, several men in black rushed in through the door, wielding sharp blades, while outside, people lay scattered on the ground.
Ji Qingwei's face darkened, and she subconsciously tried to summon her guards, but unexpectedly, the man in black threw a handful of powder at her.
In an instant, her mind went blank and she felt weak all over. A few seconds later, Ji Qingwei collapsed to the ground.
She struggled to open her eyes, fighting against her will to do so, only to see the man in black rushing straight behind her...
"Qingyu!"
Ji Qingwei's heart sank, her mind screamed wildly, her body trembled uncontrollably, and terror appeared in her eyes.
Before Qingyu could react, she was knocked unconscious. Her consciousness instantly returned to the system space, where she stared at the system.
"...I was knocked unconscious."
The system replied indifferently, "Oh, who did this good deed?"
Qingyu: “…”
Qingyu snorted coldly and muttered disdainfully, "I'll definitely be fine. At worst, I'll just go to the next world."
"You can't even get through the first world, and you want to get through the second?" the system sneered.
Unexpectedly, Qingyu retorted confidently, "Why can't I pass? This time, someone even hated me so much that they arrested me, so my dislike level is definitely high enough!"
The system just chuckled and immediately pulled up an external video feed.
The room was in complete disarray. When Ji's parents arrived, only Ji Qingwei, still struggling on the floor, remained in the room.
Unfortunately, the medicine on the latter was too potent, and she couldn't get up for a while.
"Qingwei?! What happened?! Where is Qingyu?" Madam Ji's face turned pale as she looked around in panic, but she couldn't see Qingyu anywhere.
Ji Qingwei, lying on the ground, had an extremely gloomy face. She clenched her fists and gritted her teeth as she said, "Being...being captured must have been...done by Gu Ye!"
She spoke haltingly, clearly struggling to speak. Her father immediately arranged for someone to fetch the family physician and ordered a search of the mansion.
Half an hour later, Ji Qingying and Ji Qingbao arrived after receiving the news. The former went straight to Ji Qingwei as soon as she entered the door, grabbed Ji Qingwei by the collar, and said, "How did you take care of her? Didn't you say you would put everything aside and entrust her to your care? And yet she was kidnapped right under your nose?!"
Ji Qingying was furious, her eyes were bloodshot, and the veins on her hands were bulging, as if she was about to hit someone at any moment.
He never imagined that he would be gone so quickly after he left for such a short time.
Seeing that things were going wrong, Ji Qingbao quickly stepped forward and grabbed Ji Qingying, "Big brother! This can't be blamed on Sister Qingwei. Those men in black know martial arts. How could we possibly defeat them?"
"Where are the guards? Are they all just sitting around doing nothing?!" Father Ji suddenly remembered the crucial point and shouted angrily.
Then the butler scrambled over and whispered, "Master, those people lying on the ground outside... they're all fine. The guards were drugged..."
"Drug? Where's Song Jinnian? Could it be him?" Ji Qingbao's first suspect was Song Jinnian, but as soon as she finished speaking, she saw the latter rushing over.
They weren't even wearing shoes, which shows how desperate they were.
"Something happened? Where's Qingyu?"
Song Jinnian glared at Ji Qingwei with a dark expression. Seeing that the latter lowered her eyes and remained silent, he glared at her angrily, "Where are you?!"
"I...I was taken away..." Ji Qingwei said in a hoarse voice. She struggled to sit up, cold sweat pouring down her forehead. Her sharp eyes were fixed on the distance, and she gritted her teeth.
"Go find Gu Ye! Don't let him get away with this!"
"You! You're more trouble than you're worth!" Song Jinnian angrily flung his sleeves, realizing what had happened, and quickly thought of what kind of powder to use to deal with Gu Ye.
He was determined to make the other person wish they were dead!
--------------
Qingyu had been watching from the system space, looking at the situation at the Ji residence, when she saw herself being led by men in black to an extremely old house in the suburbs.
Pushing open the door, the interior was exquisite and elegant, with pavilions and towers. Gu Ye, dressed in gorgeous clothes, stood there waiting.
"Master, the person has been brought."
The leader of the men in black handed the person in his arms to Gu Ye. Gu Ye glanced at the man's hand, a hint of displeasure flashing in his eyes, and said in a deep voice, "Go and receive your punishment!"
"Yes!"
Seeing this, Qingyu knew she should go back.
Sure enough, the next moment her vision went black and she felt dizzy. When she opened her eyes again, she saw Gu Ye looking at her with a smile.
Qingyu looked bewildered and at a loss. As if realizing she was in Gu Ye's arms, her fair face flushed red, and she struggled to get down.
"Your Highness, let me go!"
With the soft, fragrant body in his arms, Gu Ye was completely intoxicated. The person in his arms struggled, but he only held her tighter, his face full of infatuation. "Qingyu, call me husband."
Qingyu thought to herself with amusement, "Oh wow, system, the male lead is shameless enough!"
System: "...Don't contact me, thank you."
This caused Qingyu to burst into laughter again in her sea of consciousness. Her face seemed to be covered with the glow of the sunset, as if she were angry. The corners of her eyes were tinged with red, making her look incredibly alluring.
Noticing that Gu Ye's breathing was becoming increasingly unstable, Qingyu immediately burst into tears, crying, "Let me go..."
Even a beautiful woman crying is captivating, especially Qingyu, who possesses a unique allure that never tires the eye. Gu Ye felt utterly wicked, even maliciously wishing the person in his arms would cry even harder…
Then he went straight for a kiss...
Realizing that things had come to an abrupt end, Gu Ye suppressed his desires and coaxed softly, his handsome face full of flattery, "Qingyu, I love you. Will you elope with me?"
Enraged, Qingyu slapped him across the face, then took the opportunity to break free and immediately kept a few meters away from Gu Ye warily. She pursed her lips and once again used her sharp tongue, "You're just a defeated opponent, why should I elope with you?"
"Are you crazy! You've been captured, and you're still provoking him?" the system shrieked, eliciting a soft laugh from Qingyu. "System, you still say you don't care about me~"
The system's sphere turned red with frustration, and the entire system was both angry and anxious. "What exactly do you want to do?!"
"What are you afraid of? He won't hurt me, after all, I'm so beautiful~"
After he finished speaking, Gu Ye showed no sign of anger on his face. Instead, he looked at Qingyu's hand and asked in a hoarse voice, "Does your hand hurt?"
Qingyu frowned in confusion, bit her lip, and continued, "If you let me go back quickly, I won't hold it against you."
Anyway, the male lead will be stepping down soon, right? I heard that Ji Qingwei recently joined the Fifth Prince, Gu Ye's power has been disintegrated, and he's just at the end of his rope. He won't last much longer.
Why not sell it well and then stir up some trouble?
Qingyu's wicked thoughts were bubbling up inside her, while Gu Ye opposite her was lost in his own fantasies. He felt that the beauty was concerned about him, and that even after all he had done, she could still forgive him...
It really is a treasure.
However, before he could even smile, a large group of people rushed in through the door, led by Ji Qingying, who was dressed in a tight-fitting outfit, accompanied by imposing guards.
