Get Out.

When she woke up again, she found herself lying on a hospital bed.

She looked around and saw that this place was just a simple clinic. The air smelled strongly like disinfectant.

Just as Ye Chu was about to sit up, she realized her hands were tied to the head of the bed! No matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t break free!

At that moment, she faintly heard some voices from outside the door.

"How is she? Is she pregnant?"

Pregnant?

Ye Chu frowned. She recognized that voice—it was Yu Wanyue.

She stopped struggling and tried to listen carefully.

"Madam, based on the test results, this young lady is not pregnant," another voice said.

"Really? Are you sure?" Yu Wanyue asked again and again.

"Yes, absolutely," the voice answered.

Ye Chu frowned even more. Why was Yu Wanyue so worried about whether she was pregnant? Did she already know about Ye Shiyun asking her to take her place with Gu Muchen?

It had been a long time since that happened. Why was she suddenly so concerned about it now?

Just as she was thinking, the door opened from outside.

Ye Chu quickly closed her eyes and pretended to still be unconscious. She didn’t want Yu Wanyue to know that she was awake already.

"How much longer until she wakes up?" Yu Wanyue walked to the bedside and asked the doctor at the small clinic. She stared at Ye Chu, who still looked unconscious.

"She should wake up soon. Maybe in half an hour," the doctor said.

Yu Wanyue looked at Ye Chu. The more she looked at her, the more she thought this little brat was actually really pretty. Honestly, Ye Chu was way better looking than Ye Shiyun.

She had never taken this brat seriously before. What could a lowly illegitimate daughter even do, even if she caused trouble?

But now things were different. Shiyun had told her it was Ye Chu who took the medicine and slept with Gu Muchen that night—not her.

If this brat, just like her shameless mom, wanted to cause trouble after taking the money and tried to expose everything, it would be really bad.

So the best way to handle her was to completely ruin her. That way, no one would ever believe anything she said!

Ye Shiyun had said she only gave in to Du Shicheng because Ye Chu didn’t do what he wanted.

But if she, Yu Wanyue herself, sent Ye Chu to Du Shicheng’s bed, then she could definitely get the photo of her precious daughter back!

Shang Qingmeng kept calling Ye Chu’s phone over and over, but it never went through.

"Any luck?" Xia Xia asked.

Shang Qingmeng put down her phone and shook her head. "Still no answer."

"Why can’t we reach her? Ye Chu really cares about her grades. Even if she’s tired or busy, she wouldn’t skip class. And if something came up, she’d ask us to help her take leave," Xia Xia said, walking back and forth anxiously.

Since they had met, Ye Chu had never just disappeared like this. Even if her phone died, she wouldn’t just skip class for no reason and not show up.

The two of them were really worried. They first went to the hospital and found out that Ye Chu had left early. Then they went to Ye Chu’s small new apartment, but no one was there.

"Qingmeng, do you remember Gu Leheng?" Xia Xia suddenly thought of him. "Last time, when Du Shicheng tried to bully us, he helped. And he seems pretty close with Ye Chu."

"You mean we should ask Gu Leheng for help?" Qingmeng quickly got what she meant.

"Yeah! Gu Leheng is way more capable than us. He can definitely find Ye Chu!" Xia Xia said.

"Then where can we find Gu Leheng?" Qingmeng asked, her eyes suddenly lighting up. "Let’s go to the Gu Group! We can definitely find his contact info there!"

Gu Muchen sat on the black leather sofa in his office. His legs were crossed, and he was holding a cup of coffee while reading some documents on his desk.

"Mr. Gu," Ren Yi knocked on the door and came in. "The receptionist just told me that two students from Yun City University came downstairs and asked for Three’s contact info."

Gu Muchen’s face changed. "They chased me all the way to the company?"

"Mr. Gu, the receptionist said those two girls don’t seem to know Three very well, but they looked super anxious. They said they needed his help to find someone," Ren Yi explained.

"Find who?" Gu Muchen asked.

"Ye Chu."

Ye Chu was lying on a hospital bed, pretending to be unconscious. She wanted to know what Yu Wanyue was planning to do to her.

But soon, someone gave her another shot.

After that, she really passed out.

She didn’t know how much time had gone by before she slowly woke up. The smell of strong disinfectant was gone, and now the room smelled like aromatherapy.

Ye Chu looked around and saw she had been moved to a hotel room. The only thing that hadn’t changed was that her hands were still tied to the head of the bed.

And this scent… it felt so familiar…

Ye Chu suddenly got scared. This scent—it was exactly the same as the one in that room when she carried a bag for Ye Shiyun!

Ye Chu knew what that scent meant. The whole room was filled with aromatherapy that had that kind of effect. And she was still tied up. She didn’t even need to think about it—she already knew what Yu Wanyue wanted to do!

Just then, someone knocked on the door, and Ye Chu looked over with a scared face.

As the footsteps came closer, Du Shicheng’s greasy face appeared in front of her.

"It’s you?!"

"Hey, you’re awake." Du Shicheng walked slowly to the bedside, looked at her face, and smiled. "Tsk, you look even prettier lying down."

He reached out his hand to touch her face.

Ye Chu panicked and quickly turned her head to dodge him.
