After a Contractual Marriage, Little Taotie Went Viral!-Chapter 368 - 360: Why Are His Men Here?

It was getting late, so the two of them went to the dressing room to do their makeup together.

The director had already prepared the scene, so once they were done, they could start filming right away.

"Today’s scene is very important; it’s the emotional turning point between Li Beauty and Gu Changjun."

The director brought over the script to discuss the scene with Qin Yun and Pei Yan, and Qin Yun immediately became serious.

This morning’s scene shows Li Beauty risking herself to save Shen Xiuyuan, almost falling into the hands of bad guys. If Gu Changjun hadn’t arrived in time, she would have died.

Gu Changjun defends her in front of everyone.

And thus, she becomes infatuated with him.

The feelings between them are subtle and obscure, making it difficult to portray.

The director was concerned, so he explained some details to Qin Yun again.

Qin Yun listened very attentively, while Pei Yan watched her seriousness, amusement in his eyes.

The director gave him a stern look, "What are you looking at?"

Pei Yan’s eyes flickered, and he replied calmly, "This is a very important emotional scene; it must be performed well."

Qin Yun looked over quizzically and saw Pei Yan walking towards the scene.

Qin Yun nodded calmly, greeted the director, and walked over.

Last night, their men had already rescued Shen Xiuyuan.

And Li Beauty received the news, anxiously waiting all night.

The next day, as soon as it was light, she prepared to go investigate.

Outside was chaotic, the city was on lockdown, and searches for Shen Xiuyuan were everywhere.

Shen Xiuyuan had been rescued last night, but with all the barriers set up, the rescuers hadn’t left the city yet.

Li Beauty’s eyes flashed as she prepared to leave with an umbrella.

"Miss Li?" Gu Changjun’s voice sounded from behind.

Li Beauty froze and slowly turned around, "Mr. Gu."

Gu Changjun’s lips pressed into a line, his expression somewhat gloomy, but his tone was gentle, "What are you doing up so early?"

"Didn’t sleep well last night, just thought I’d get up early and find something to eat."

Li Beauty calmly looked at Gu Changjun, surprised that he was also up early, and noticed the dark circles under his eyes, as if he hadn’t slept all night.

Was he disturbed by the sounds of capture?

"I see." Gu Changjun smiled slightly, walked down the steps, and held her cold hand, "Have you eaten?"

"I have, just about to head back." Li Beauty tried to pull her hand back, but failed.

"Then let me take you." He led Li Beauty by the hand towards the car.

"There’s no need, I can go back by myself."

"It’s raining so hard, I can’t let you go home alone. Besides, the city is under lockdown now, it’s more convenient for you to be with me." Gu Changjun assertively took her into the car and instructed the driver to go.

Li Beauty tightened her fingers, worriedly glanced out the car window.

Shen Xiuyuan and the others, will they be okay?

Her hand was placed on her lap by Gu Changjun, who was still holding it.

Li Beauty quickly regained her senses, her face warming, "You..."

"What are you looking at?" Gu Changjun’s tone was somewhat lazy, with a hint of fatigue.

Li Beauty tried to withdraw her hand again, but failed.

"I see people searching outside; did something happen?" Li Beauty gave up struggling and asked in a low voice.

"Not too sure, I heard it’s a spy who was rescued last night." Gu Changjun explained with his eyes closed.

Li Beauty’s heart tightened, "I see, so that’s it."

If Shen Xiuyuan doesn’t leave the city soon, they can only wait to be caught.

Soon, the car arrived at Li Beauty’s residence.

Li Beauty got out of the car, just about to thank Gu Changjun, when the man followed her out and walked ahead of her to the entrance of her house.

"Mr. Gu??"

Li Beauty was stunned, and only reacted after chasing up to him.

Gu Changjun strode into the courtyard and looked around.

Nothing seemed out of the ordinary.

Li Beauty followed him in, "Mr. Gu, I’ve arrived, you should go now."

Gu Changjun turned, "I’ll leave once I see you go inside."

He stood proudly in the courtyard, dressed in a black Zhongshan suit, solemn and upright, making Li Beauty hold her breath as she hurried towards the eaves.

"Then I won’t see you off."

Li Beauty walked quickly and didn’t notice Gu Changjun’s dark eyes.

When she reached the entrance of the hall and looked back, Gu Changjun was already walking out.

He didn’t glance back at her even once.

Li Beauty let out a sigh of relief, touched her chest, and took several deep breaths to calm down.

The camera shifts.

Li Beauty lifted her skirt as she walked step by step towards the kitchen.

As she entered earlier, a wisp of blue smoke rose from the kitchen.

When she left in the morning, she hadn’t lit a fire at all!

Why was there smoke in the kitchen?

"Creak."

The kitchen door was pushed open, and Li Beauty cautiously scanned the room, finding nobody there!

But the fire was burning, and a pot was on the stove, boiling hot water.

Yet when she left, there was nothing on the stove!

Her face suddenly turned pale.

Li Beauty walked into the kitchen.

The kitchen was small, with only a cabinet in the corner, everything else was in plain sight.

"Who’s there!"

Footsteps suddenly sounded at the door, and Li Beauty whipped around to see Shen Xiuyuan covered in blood.

Li Beauty’s eyes widened in shock.

Shen Xiuyuan hurried forward, covering Li Beauty’s mouth with his hand, his expression cautious.

"It’s me." Shen Xiuyuan’s voice was particularly weak.

He was injured and had lost contact with the rescuers, leaving him with no choice but to seek out Li Beauty.

Li Beauty frowned, "How did you..."

End up here?

"I had gathered some information about you before our meeting, just in case." Shen Xiuyuan explained in a few words, "I’m injured and got separated from the rescuers, can you help me with my injury?"

"It’s not safe here; I’ll treat your wound, but you need to leave immediately." Li Beauty decided quickly.

She used the hot water Shen Xiuyuan had boiled to treat his wound. Without antiseptic, she could only use some common herbs for a rough treatment.

Shen Xiuyuan had lost too much blood, his face was deathly pale, and his body temperature was gradually rising.

"You’re running a fever."

Li Beauty quickly realized something was wrong with him and began to panic.

She needed to get Shen Xiuyuan out quickly, but with the city under lockdown, how could she ensure his safety?

"Miss Li."

Shen Xiuyuan was drowsy, his speech slow, "If possible, can you take me to the dock outside the city?"

There, someone was supposed to meet them. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

But alone, he couldn’t get out.

Li Beauty’s expression froze.

Leaving the city meant they had to get through the heavily guarded city gates.

"I’ll try."

Li Beauty found a small carriage, loaded it with vegetables, and after Shen Xiuyuan had his wound treated, set off with him.

She observed for a while at the city gate and noticed that the leader was one of Gu Changjun’s men. She had seen him a few times before.

But why would Gu Changjun’s people be here?
