In fact, the psychological torture was far more painful than the bad environment.

She really wasn't as calm as she seemed.

The thought of the long list of assets in her name made her heart sink terribly.

Gu Tingshen once told her that the assets transferred to her name were all personal assets earned by himself, and they had nothing to do with the Gu Group or even the entire Gu family.

But with such a huge amount of assets, are the means he obtains really legitimate?

Jiang Xiqian was not sure in his heart.

She knew that he had been on Wall Street for ten years before returning to China, and what happened in those ten years could make him earn a wealth that others could not earn in a few lifetimes?

She has heard a lot of those famous genius predators on Wall Street, even including the famous people many years ago, but she has never heard of Gu Tingshen.

If there really is a large number of illegal sources for his gains, once it is verified, what awaits him?

Will he be sent to an international tribunal and wait for the rest of his life in prison, or will he be sentenced to death because the amount of money he is suspected of committing is too large?

Or, as Gu Tingye said, she was just a chess piece for Gu Tingshen from beginning to end, a chess piece used by him as a shield.

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xiqian's hands and feet gradually became cold.

Whatever the truth, all this is the weight of her life that she cannot bear.

It wasn't until this moment that she realized that she cared about him far more than she could have imagined.

That's why I subconsciously wanted to hide him, and I didn't even want to mention his name in front of the police, so I only asked Li Qi to find a lawyer.

No matter how much he had deceived himself, even at this point, she could pray that he was safe and well, in addition to hoping that it was just a nightmare.

I don't know how long it took, the female police officer saw that Jiang Xiqian still didn't mean to speak, and directly asked her to throw her into a small dark room.

There was no light in the darkroom, and it was so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.

It was already night, Jiang Xiqian groped around, and determined that there was only a small iron bed in the entire dark room, and there was no quilt on the bed.

Jiang Xiqian sat on the small bed with his arms crossed, only to feel that it was very cold.

On a late autumn night, the four walls and the ground were constantly bubbling with cold air, she was cold and hungry, and she felt like a little match girl at the moment.

Oh no!

She is not as good as the little girl who sells matches, but she still has matches for warmth, and she has nothing but hunger, cold and fear.

I don't know how long it took, in a daze, Jiang Xiqian was half-asleep and half-awake, as if he heard the sound of the iron door 'clang'.

She subconsciously glanced in the direction of the wooden door of the dark room, and said in her heart, could it be that this is going to be interrogated in the middle of the night?

More than ten seconds later, the door of the dark room was pushed open, and a little faint light shot in from the corridor, Jiang Xiqian subconsciously squinted.

Then, she looked at the tall man who walked in from outside the door, as if with the cold air outside, his whole body exuded a cold aura.

Until the person who opened the door left and he squatted down in front of her, Jiang Xiqian still felt that he was dreaming.

She stretched out her cold and stiff thumb and rubbed it against his bearded chin, and tears came out at once, and her voice was hoarse.

"Gu Tingshen, what are you doing here? If all this needs to be borne by one person, I would rather that person be me, you go! ”

She didn't trust him enough to find him guilty.

But even so, she didn't blame him, didn't blame him for putting her in such an embarrassing and difficult situation, but wanted to apologize for him.

Gu Tingshen took off his coat and draped it on her, and then hugged her tightly in his arms like a knife, as if he wanted to integrate her into his bones and blood, "Xiqian, I'm sorry, it's okay, I'll take you back." ”

When Gu Tingshen took Jiang Xiqian out, lawyer Tang Hexuan had already completed the formalities and followed Gu Tingshen to the outside of the police station.

Jiang Xi nestled in Gu Tingshen's arms, watching the sky white, the whole person was still in a trance, feeling that all this was not real.

Walking out of the gate of the police station, a group of reporters appeared out of nowhere, perhaps squatting here all night, all with panda eyes, picking up their cameras and rushing over to take pictures.

Tang Hexuan grabbed the camera of the reporter at the front, and warned with a cold face, "If any of you dare to leak the slightest rumor about today's incident, I, Tang Hexuan, will sue your family for ruin!" ”

When a group of reporters heard Tang Hexuan's name, they instantly looked like eggplants beaten by frost, and they retracted their cameras one by one in frustration.

Even if they hadn't seen Gu Tingshen in front of them, looking at the entire Cloud City, who hadn't heard of Tang Hexuan's name?

He is a man of the year in the legal and political circles, who has been in the industry for more than ten years, and has handled countless large and important cases, but he has never missed, especially good at economic litigation cases, which is the abbreviated version of his circle of friends, that is, the elite circle of Yuncheng.

They are just small reporters, and they can't get involved with people like Tang Hexuan for the sake of a piece of news.

Gu Tingshen hugged Jiang Xiqian into the car, and Tang Hexuan sat in the driver's seat to drive.

There was silence for a long time, and only when Jiang Xiqian fell asleep in Gu Tingshen's arms did Tang Hexuan ask, "Do you need to check the manipulators behind the scenes?" ”

"Not necessarily." Gu Ting's eyebrows were deeply locked, and his thin lips were lightly opened, and there was an indescribable forbearance.

Tang Hexuan nodded heavily, "Indeed, even if you go to investigate, you probably won't be able to find out the results, a so-called report phone call doesn't have much clue value, it's just that the behind-the-scenes manipulator was too quick to show his feet and let those reporters over, thinking that if he made things bigger, he could make a profit." ”

Gu Tingshen's thin lips were pursed, and there was a sense of anger lingering between his eyebrows.

One day, he will come back with interest on this account!

Tang Hexuan glanced at Gu Tingshen through the rearview mirror and reminded, "But you have to pay attention, since this person has thought of starting from Miss Jiang, I'm afraid there will be similar tactics in the future." ”

Gu Tingshen lowered his eyes slightly and didn't speak, and the dark eyes reflected the girl's slightly pale little face.

In fact, Jiang Xiqian has not been sleeping very peacefully, and the deep sense of fear and the deep impression of hunger and cold made her shiver from time to time in her sleep, and even made a broken murmuring sound.

Gu Tingshen hugged her in his arms with great worry, only hating himself for not being able to suffer for her.

Tang Hexuan directly sent him and Jiang Xiqian to a seaside villa with an excellent environment, and then drove away.

Gu Tingshen carried her into the villa, and Pei Ying just came out of the kitchen.

In this villa, Gu Tingshen rarely came to live in it, and he didn't hire anyone, only Pei Ying, the villa housekeeper of Jinshuiwan, occasionally came over to clean up and repair flowers and plants.

Pei Ying also happened to come over last night, preparing to finish dinner early this morning, tidy up the branches for the flowers in the yard, and look at it by the way

Let's see how the vegetables he planted here last time were growing.

Unexpectedly, I ran into the third young master carrying Miss Jiang over.

It broke him unexpectedly.

Gu Tingshen hadn't slept all night, his face could not hide his tiredness, his eyes were blue and black, and his chin was also unshaven.

After the accident, Pei Ying looked at him very distressed, and then looked at Jiang Xiqian in his arms, "Third Young Master, you are... Miss Jiang, what's wrong with you? ”

"It's okay," Gu Tingshen's voice was hard and hoarse, he glanced at the kitchen and asked, "Is there anything to eat in the kitchen?" ”

Pei Ying didn't know that they were coming, so he only cooked his own breakfast, which had already been eaten at this time, but since the third young master asked, he definitely couldn't say no.

So, Pei Ying walked to the kitchen and said, "Yes, yes, I'll cook it, I just brought a lot of food last night, don't worry, it'll be fine soon." ”

Gu Tingshen nodded at Pei Ying, and then carried Jiang Xiqian upstairs.

Entering the bedroom, carefully put Jiang Xiqian on the bed, Gu Tingshen knelt on one knee beside the bed, bent down and probed Jiang Xiqian's forehead, maybe he had just entered from outside, and his forehead was a little cold.

At the moment when he withdrew his hand, Jiang Xiqian suddenly opened his eyes and grabbed his big palm.

Gu Tingshen's heart moved, and his deep gaze met her elk-like pitiful eyes, "Xiqian, are you awake?" ”

Jiang Xiqian's still sleepy eyes showed a hint of confusion, "Where is this?" Am I not in the little dark room of the police station? You... Why here? ”

Last night, she was hungry and scared, and she was almost frozen to death, and she had a strange dream in a daze, dreaming that Gu Tingshen was cold and said that she was going to take her home...

Wait a minute!

Jiang Xiqian looked at the dark circles under Gu Tingshen's eyes and the newly emerging cyan stubble on his chin, and his mind instantly cleared up.

Could it be that she was not dreaming at that time, Gu Tingshen really fished her out of the police station?

Thinking of this possibility, Jiang Xiqian sat up from the bed all of a sudden, perhaps because he had just woken up and his voice was a little hoarse.

"Gu Tingshen, what the hell is going on? You are... Did you find a lawyer to bail me out? Do I have to wait to go to court? The public prosecution will prosecute me, right? ”

Gu Tingshen sat down beside her and hugged her into his arms, his heart was very sour, "Fool, even if it is a court, it should be me, and if the public prosecution wants to prosecute, it will also sue me, and it has nothing to do with you." ”

Jiang Xiqian heard him say this, and that little fluke collapsed instantly, he was really suspected of economic crimes, and the amount was so huge!

She lay in his arms, out of sight, gritting her teeth and letting the tears flow freely.

Although they didn't really date for a long time, thinking that he would be in prison in the future, she couldn't breathe in heartache.

His invisible care for her kept replaying in his mind, and the final picture was fixed on him walking towards her in the firelight, saving her from danger, but putting himself in an extremely dangerous situation.

She has lost too much in her past life, and she doesn't want to lose the man in front of her who can spare her life.

Gu Tingshen felt that the person in his arms was trembling, and hurriedly pulled her out, seeing that her face was full of tears, and she was about to speak, but Jiang Xiqian snorted and opened her mouth first,

"Gu Tingshen, tell me the truth, if you are really prosecuted, what will be the most serious consequences?"
