Chapter 430: The Countdown Begins

Gu Mohan pressed his strong, muscular body onto her delicate body, his big palms gripping onto her slender waist. He thought for a while and replied casually, “I worked with her once when we went to the United Nations a few years ago.”

“And then?”

Gu Mohan frowned, buckled her jaw and forcefully turned her around. He then kissed her red lips and said dismissively, “And what? Nothing happened afterwards.”

The position they were kissing was extremely tiring, overwhelming her senses and making her feel controlled by him. To think that such an overbearing man like him would behave like that.

Tang Mo’er’s delicate face turned red, “I can tell that that elder miss of the Jun family likes you more than a little. Nothing happened after? If you can seduce someone to the point that you’re so unforgettable, you’re probably really capable then!”

Gu Mohan felt it was ludicrous hearing her sarcastic words. He had nothing to with Jun Xiyan, so what did Jun Xiyan liking him have to do with him?

“Mo’er, in comparison to you talking about that Jun family’s eldest daughter, I prefer listening to you say that you love your perverted husband.”

“…”

Tang Mo’er twisted her snake-like flexible body and said in shame, “Mr Gu, does the eldest daughter of the Jun family know that you’re such a pervert?”

All the ladies had been duped by him. His appearance was refined, distinguished and arrogant —characteristics that women would always be interested in. In fact, it was all a facade. This man was a pervert, good at everything and never lacked in energy to have sex. He knew how to enjoy himself and be intimate with his partner.

The eldest daughter probably did not know what kind of a man he was in private.

Gu Mohan immediately shut her up, “Mo’er, don’t destroy the atmosphere all because of an irrelevant person like her. Just tell me, do you love me the way I am?”

Tang Mo’er closed her eyes. She could not stand his maturity. She admitted that if the eldest daughter of the Jun family and other women saw his perverted side, they would love him more.

It was because she loved him more too.

…

One hour later.

Gu Mohan put Tang Mo’er under the shower. The women pulled her clothes all over her body to make him leave the bathroom. She did not want him to peek at her, let alone bathe with her.

Gu Mohan quirked his lips and left.

Something, this woman was sometimes rather pretentious.

Gu Mohan had a cold shower in the bathroom next door. Ding dong! The doorbell rang.

It was late at night. Who was it?

Gu Mohan stretched his long legs to open the door. Outside the door stood… the police chief and several police officers.

The police chief was sweating profusely and muttered, “President Gu, sorry to disturb you at this time. I’ve received an anonymous report that your new company is engaged in illegal activities so you are under arrest. Please come with us back to the police station and cooperate with our investigation.”

As he said this, the police chief took out an arrest warrant.

Auntie Wu sucked in a deep breath. All these police officers wanted to bring Sir back to the police station.

These officers were really going against the heavens.

Gu Mohan’s facial expression did not change, neither did he frown. He shoved his hands into his pocket and stared at the police chief.

The police chief was almost at a loss of what to do. He stammered awkwardly, “P-President Gu, truth to be told, Old Master Gu wants you in the police station for a while. I’m under a lot of pressure.”

Gu Mohan quirked his lips and said, “Wait a little, I need to tell my wife.”

…

In the bathroom.

Tang Mo’er reached for her towel. At this moment, she felt a hot sensation up her nostrils and warm liquid rushed out.

She stood stiff on the spot and slowly lifted her small hands to touch her nose. Although she could not see, she knew it was blood.

Her nose was bleeding again.

It seemed that half of the antidote was simply useless. The effects of the love pea poison were acting up again.

At this moment, the man’s deep voice sounded, “Mo’er, Mo’er…”

“Darling, what’s wrong?” Tang Mo’er replied quickly as she rushed to wash the blood off her hands.

She was afraid he would come in and see it.

“Mo’er, something urgent has come up, I need to work overtime tonight. Go and sleep earlier, I’ll be home tomorrow,” the man said calmly.

“Alright,” Tang Mo’er replied.

Gu Mohan left.

Hearing the footsteps gradually getting softer, Tang Mo’er heaved a sigh of relief. However, she could not seem to stop her nosebleed. She hurriedly put on her nightdress and entered the room.

Her delicate hands reached for her phone and she carefully opened her contacts. She could remember the order of the contacts in her phone. She dialed one of the numbers.

A string of melodious tones rang and before long, the person at the other end of the line picked up. “Hello.”

Lu Yan deep voice could be heard.

Tang Mo’er grabbed her cell phone tightly in one hand, and used a tissue in the other hand to pinch the bridge of her nose.

“Master Yan, how much time do I have left? My nose is bleeding non-stop.”

The other end of the phone remained silent for a few seconds. “It seems that half of the antidote is useless. Tang Mo’er, the love pea toxin has already spread to your blood. When your nose bleeds non-stop, that’s when the countdown begins. You’re left with… one month.”

One month.

The countdown begins.

Bang. The cell phone in Tang Mo’er’s hand dropped onto the floor.

She was going to die soon.

She was really going to die soon.

Tang Mo’er’s legs turned weak as she collapsed onto the carpet with her knees curled up. Her tiny face was extremely pale.

Why was it so fast?

Why couldn’t she be given more time?

She had just gotten together with Mr Gu. The period of time spent with him had been so blissful and sweet. She wanted to live on.

She wanted so badly to live.

However, her life was going to end soon.

She was not mentally prepared.

What would happen to Mr Gu when she died?

A melodious ringtone sounded, she had an incoming phone call.

She reached for her cell phone on the carpet and answered it.

“Hello.”

“Hello, Miss Tang. It’s me.”

It was Old Master Gu.

“Hello, Old Master Gu.”

“Miss Tang, is Gu Mohan next to you?”

“No, he’s working overtime.”

“Oh,” Old Master Gu chuckled. “He’s lied to you then, he’s not working overtime. After all, I’m the one who landed him in the police station.”

Tang Mo’er’s pupils contracted as she grabbed on tighter to the cell phone and shouted, “Old Master!

“Miss Tang, if you continue being with Mohan in the future, believe me, this is only the beginning. In the future, his mother Huo Yanmei, his sister An’an and every other family member will suffer. He won’t be able to start up his new company because I’m suppressing him every step of the way. Believe me, Miss Tang, against me, he won’t be able to do a thing.”
