Black Lotus - Chap 95
The men behind Sun Qi, who had covered Shen Luoan’s mouth and dragged him out, stepped forward, but Shan Luoan kicked off one side of the vase in a struggle, the vase fell to the ground making a big noise.
Wen Niannan heard what seemed to be a sound in front of him, he approaches with some doubts, only to see Shen Luoan being dragged outside.
Wen Niannan, in a moment of alarm, hadn’t been able to hide, but the already struggling Shen Luoan suddenly widened his eyes, breaking free from the hand covering his mouth, he pointed to the corridor not far away, shouting.
“Wen Niannan! Wen Niannan is there! He is Gu Yansheng’s partner!”

“Who? Wen Niannan?”

Sun Qi felt a little familiar when he heard that name, he looked in the direction that Shen Luoan was pointing, finding a shocked person.
Wen Niannan stood rigid in his place, his face suddenly became pale, his eyes widened as he froze in place, his body was trembling violently, the fear in his eyes could not be hidden, he wanted to turn to flee but he was completely unable to move.
That horrible memory flooded his mind, that memory he tried hard to forget appeared once more, the dark, cold basement…the fist that fell on him…the pain of a bloody shoe kicking on his body…the cry of cursing…
“It’s him… why…he’s here…”
All those years…he never dreamed that he would see the nightmare-like man again, the devil who had ruined his life…
Can’t be caught…can’t be caught…
Wen Niannan tried his best to turn around and run, but his legs didn’t follow his will, he was too weak, after a few steps, he was overtaken by the two men, falling to the ground.
“Let…me…go.”
Wen Niannan struggled with his trembling hand to push the man away but was still easily restrained, holding him against the ground.
Shen Luoan’s eyes were filled with aberration, as he pointed to Wen Niannan, he said: “He is the husband of the Gu family, he is Gu Yansheng’s lover, it is not me that you are trying to take!”

Frowning, Sun Qi approached, taking a look, he cursed: “Damn, do you think I’m a fool? Did you think I didn’t see you go in with Gu Yansheng? Our young master said that the husband was the person next to Gu Yansheng.”
“No, I’m innocent, Wen Niannan is Gu Yansheng’s partner, it’s him who you want to take!”
Shen Luoan stepped forward to Wen Niannan and grabbed his collar: “Wen Niannan, told them! Say you are Gu’s wife! Say it!”

Wen Niannan stared pale at Shen Luoan, his voice trembled slightly: “I’m not…I’m not…I’m not going back to the basement…”

“For God’s sake, shut up! I ask you, who has offended our Little Qin in the end?”
When Shen Luoan heard Young President Qin, his eyes dodge a little, he glanced at the pale Wen Niannan, thinking something quickly, a wicked expression was in his eyes.
“Wen Niannan played it, he was accompanying Gu Yansheng to discuss the project, it was he who beat Mr. Qin!”
14
Wen Niannan seemed to be noticed of what Shen Luoan was going to say next, his eyes flashed because of unbelievable words: “Shen Luoan, what are you talking about…”
Shen Luoan interrupted Wen Niannan’s words, saying hastily: “When you go to the projects, you can only take your wife to attend, how can he take others? If he is not Gu’s husband, why Zhou Yuanfeng could he be with him?”
Sun Qi lit a cigarette, taking a few puffs, a complex look flashed in his eyes.
When he looked at the opened door earlier, he saw that Wen Niannan got off Zhou Yuanfeng’s car, Zhou Yuanfeng had great respect for him.
Knowing it, Shen Luoan looked at the hesitated Sun Qi’s expression, then he looked back at the trembling Wen Niannan, succumbed in a trance.
He knew that Wen Niannan’s symptoms from PTSD had happened once more, a sudden cruel smile appeared at the corners of his mouth, he got close to Wen Niannan, speaking somberly.

“Don’t you want to escape from divorce? Don’t you fear that your father will lose Gu’s funds after the divorce? Won’t you solve all these problems if you die? You were kidnapped because of Gu’s family, they will compensate your father for their guilt.”
Wen Niannan heard the latter stiff, the endless despair in his eyes could be seen, he whispered out of control: “Why me…Why me again this time? Why? I don’t…I don’t have to go through that pain again…I don’t want to be trapped again…”
“As long as you take my place, how good would you be to allow Gu to save your father and get free from it?”
Shen Luoan continued his grudge: “Wen Niannan, you have always been superfluous, do you understand? Gu Yansheng loves me, even your marriage originally belonged to me, without you, Yansheng wouldn’t have to fight with Lu Yun anymore, and Tang Shuo won’t be disturbed by you anymore, your existence only causes trouble for others, you understand?”

“So…go to hell! Disappear forever!”
15
Shen Luoan showed a weird smile, raising his head to pretend fear: “You see it on the Internet to find out if Wen Niannan is his husband, there are material and photos on the Internet.”
“Brother Sun, this Wen Niannan here is really Gu Yansheng’s partner, but this Shen Luoan has something with Gu Yansheng, we…”
The man behind took out the phone, handing it to Sun Qi, who frowned when he looked at the photo on the phone.
Just then, someone in the distance saw there was movement, they illuminated towards it with a light in his hand: “Who is there?”
Seeing that he was about to be spotted, Sun Qi cursed in a low voice, stepping forward, he pulled Wen Niannan, covering his mouth to prevent him from screaming.
He took a handkerchief out of his pocket, spraying it with something, but when he was about to release his hand, out of a sudden his hand was bitten, letting it go because of the pain.
“Fuck, you dared to bite me!”
As soon as Wen Niannan broke free, he got up, about to run fastly, but who would know that when he ran two steps, a sudden sharp pain would come from his head, making him fall to the ground, he slowly turned around, looking at the person behind him, only to see someone standing behind him, and there was Shen Luoan holding a wooden stick in his hand.
33
Wen Niannan felt that his eyelids were getting heavier and heavier, faintly feeling something flowing down his head, the last scene he saw before he fell unconscious to the ground was Shen Luoan’s evil smile at the corners of his mouth and the craziness in his eyes…
The sight slowly shifted to see the familiar ring on Shen Luoan’s hand, the light in his eyes seemed to be extinguishing in an instant, a bleak smile appeared at the corners of his mouth.
Turns out…the other one is here…
21
After saying a few words to Zhou Yuanfeng before he left because of his headache, he stopped as soon as he approached the door, raising his gaze, he looked up the corridor outside, his eyes twinkled slightly, not knowing what to think.
A strange feeling placed on his chest again, with a frown, Gu Yansheng turned away his gaze, walking to the rest area, when he arrived, he didn’t see Shen Luoan.
A waiter brought the wine, lowering his head, he put it on the table, supposedly would leave after the order.
“Did you see the man in a plaid suit sitting here a few moments ago?”
The man’s eyes flashed, he raised his gaze, smiling respectfully: “No, sir, maybe he went to the bathroom.”
After that, he got up and left.
Gu Yansheng lowered his head, glancing at the watch on his wrist, then he raised his eyes to look outside, lowering his head, he tenderly stroked the watch with a frown.
Wasn’t Wen Niannan afraid of the dark? How come he hasn’t come back when is so late.
2
Suddenly surprised, Gu Yansheng’s eyes flashed with astonishment.
What was he doing? Isn’t he supposed to be thinking about where Shen Luoan had gone? Why was he thinking about Wen Niannan and his fear of the dark when he’s out there…
It was only a feeling of increased irritation in his heart, the feeling of discomfort in his chest became stronger, he took the wine glass on the table, drinking a sip.
Recently, his chest was always inexplicably uncomfortable, was it a physical problem? Looks like he will go to the old house to have the doctor at home check it out.

Gu Yansheng sat down, holding the wine in a confusion, frowning, he glanced at his watch, why hadn’t Luoan come back yet?
He went to the balcony, looking at the pavilion at the end of the corridor, took a sip of the wine in his hand, a variety of feelings flashed in his eyes.
Why did Tang Lunxuan go out with Wen Niannan? Was Tang Shuo there?
“Yansheng.”
***
Shen Luoan’s voice sounded behind him, Gu Yansheng slowly turned around, getting closer, he was surprised when he saw Shen Luoan.
7
He saw Shen Luoan’s clothes covered with mud stains, his tie loosened, his forehead was somewhat sweaty and his face was a little strange.
“Luoan, where have you been? Your clothes…”
Shen Luoan’s eyes flickered slightly, smiling he said: “Outside…it was too dark to see the road, I fell accidentally, but everything is all right, I’d better go to grab my coat to avoid being watched by others.”
Gu Yansheng was surprised, hearing that outside was dark and was unable to see the road, he turned his head, looking at the pavilion in the distance, Would Wen Niannan be able to hide his fear from the dark?
6
Shen Luoan sighed with relief when he didn’t saw any shred of suspicion on Gu Yansheng, seeing that he was looking outside, he frightened of what he could see, so he quickly spoke: “Yansheng, let’s go in, it’s too cold here.”
“Good.”
As soon as he entered, he saw that waiter standing aside, when the waiter saw Shen Luoan appearing at that moment, his face instantly changed, he lowered his head.
Gu Yansheng and Shen Luoan walked to the hall, the door caught his eye subconsciously as they passed it.
Seeing that Gu Yansheng had been looking at the door, Shen Luoan urged, with some emptiness in his heart: “Let’s go over there, they seem to be cutting the cake, let’s also bless Mrs. Jiang.”

Gu Yansheng averted his eyes, going over, everyone raised their wine glasses for a toast, Shen Luoan hurriedly took a glass of wine giving it to Gu Yansheng.
“Here, warm up your body.”
1
Shen Luoan watched Gu Yansheng drank the wine from the glass, he took another glass from him, a glint flashing in his eyes.
He was afraid that Gu Yansheng would get suspicious and go to look for Wen Niannan, so obviously, the best way to avoid that was to get him drunk.
Zhou Yuanfeng and Mr. Jiang were talking about the project when he looked down at his watch, seeing there was already late, he worried because Wen Niannan hadn’t come back.
After saying goodbye to President Jiang, he went to the second floor, finding no one there, then he went to the bathroom and balcony, still, no one to be found, Zhou Yuanfeng walked back to the hall, looking for that someone.
“Zhou, who are you looking for? Are you looking for Gu?” asked someone politely, approaching him.
“Yes.”
“Mr. Gu and his husband have gone back some time ago, Mr. Gu was drunk and his husband helped him to leave.”
“Went back?” Zhou Yuanfeng sighed in relief, no wonder why he hadn’t found anyone.
