Oops, I had a ONS With My Secret Ex-husband

Chapter 188: Chapter 188 Relatives

Actually, after all these years, Ji Yu had already come to think of Feng Qinqin as a kind of family in another sense, so encountering such a situation was understandably hard for her.

"I will definitely solve the matter with Qinqin," she said firmly.

Gu Qixiao understood her worries and could only try to comfort her while staying by her side.

On Hong’s end, the search was still ongoing.

It was evident that these people had planned this well in advance, so even now, there were no significant leads.

There was only a small segment of surveillance footage showing that Feng Qinqin had been taken by Li Yu.

Li Yu seemed to know they would find this footage and even said something to the camera.

The others couldn’t interpret it, but Ji Yu understood.

"He’s looking for me," she said with absolute certainty.

But why was he targeting her?

And what did Feng Qinqin have to do with all of this?

"Yu, since this person knows you, he must be very familiar with those around you. He’s likely prepared for everything, so finding her is going to be extremely difficult." noveldrama

Ji Yu didn’t know what she should do, she only knew the current situation was far too overwhelming to stay calm.

"Why..." Ji Yu felt her mind spinning with confusion.

Seeing her condition deteriorate, Gu Qixiao grew increasingly uneasy. "Yu, take a proper rest. Leave this to me, alright?"

Even though Ji Yu wanted to stay determined, her eyelids grew heavier and heavier. She was naturally prone to drowsiness, and having been tense for so long, she couldn’t hold on any longer.

Watching Ji Yu finally fall asleep, Gu Qixiao rose from his seat.

"Have they found her yet?"

"Not yet. Based on earlier clues, they’ve probably hidden well. They have their own stronghold." It was clear finding them would be a challenge.

Gu Qixiao’s expression turned colder. He knew that if Ji Yu failed to find Feng Qinqin, she would carry the guilt for a lifetime. "Keep searching. Report any new leads immediately."

He didn’t sit idle either and got in touch with Hong.

Hong wasn’t particularly familiar with him or his affairs.

"What makes you think I’d believe anything you say?" Although Hong knew that Ji Yu loved Gu Qixiao, he still didn’t want to deal with him.

"If we work together, we can find Feng Qinqin faster. Or do you really want to watch Yu continue to suffer like this?"

Hong, understanding how much Ji Yu cared about Feng Qinqin, grew anxious. "What do you mean?"

"Your skills combined with my personnel will speed things up. We’re all doing this for Yu’s sake. Why draw lines between us?"

After a moment of silence, Hong deliberated over the feasibility of the idea. Thinking about Ji Yu’s attitude toward the matter, he finally nodded in agreement.

"Alright, I get it." There was no way he could just stand by and watch Ji Yu suffer like this.

"Take good care of Sister Yu. This situation with Feng Qinqin is critical for her, and her emotions will be fragile."

"I don’t need you to tell me that." Gu Qixiao didn’t hold any fondness for Hong either. Their cooperation was purely utilitarian.

Worried about Ji Yu’s condition, Gu Qixiao stayed by her side the entire time.

Watching Ji Yu sleep fitfully, even frowning in her sleep, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of sadness. "Yu, I’ll always be here for you. We’ll find Feng Qinqin soon. Don’t despair."

None of this was Ji Yu’s fault, and this was why he was so concerned about her.

The next day, Ji Yu woke up startled from a nightmare, staring at her surroundings with a sudden sense of disorientation.

"Did they find her?"

"There’s still no news for now, but I don’t think he’ll necessarily harm Feng Qinqin." From start to finish, he couldn’t understand why this person was acting this way.

In truth, even Feng Qinqin felt perplexed.

"Why are you holding me captive?"

"Oh, it’s nothing. I just wanted to see why my fiancée would abandon our engagement. You do realize that breaking off an engagement with someone like me comes at a cost, don’t you?" He smiled at Feng Qinqin.

Though his demeanor was unchanged from before, Fang Qingqing found him eerily terrifying, as if he were an entirely different person.

"No wonder Yuyu said there was something wrong with you. You really are no good."

"Being ’good’ or ’bad’ is subjective. But I’m certain Ji Yu remembers me to some degree. Such memories... how nostalgic." He had once believed that his face would never recover. Thinking about it now, it felt like some kind of twisted serendipity.

"Don’t worry, I won’t kill you. Since you’re a friend of Doctor Ji’s, I’ll at least spare your life."

He simply couldn’t bear being discarded without cause.

It was the thing he loathed the most.

So, until Ji Yuanzhou arrived, he wouldn’t do anything rash.

Realizing things had escalated into something unpredictable, Feng Qinqin became aware that his target was Ji Yuanzhou.

"This has nothing to do with Ji Yuanzhou. It was my decision not to be with you. I’m sorry."

She hadn’t expected the aftermath to become this complicated.

"Don’t worry, I won’t do anything to Ji Yuanzhou. I just want to see how deep your feelings for each other run."

He gave a cold snort, clearly irked by the entire ordeal.

Meanwhile, Ji Yuanzhou was indeed on his way to the destination.

But he wasn’t foolish; though heading there alone, he had prepared contingencies.

He sent a message to Ji Yu before departing for the factory.

Ji Yu’s anxiety spiked upon seeing the message. "They’ve even contacted my brother. It’s likely they’re angry about the broken engagement. What should we do?"

Unwilling to remain idle, she stood up, determined to investigate firsthand.

Gu Qixiao was left exasperated by her sudden decision. "Yu, you’re pregnant. Let me handle this."

"No, you don’t know him like I do. I once helped him. Out of respect for me, he won’t kill my brother."

She had to intervene and figure out the situation herself.

Gu Qixiao had no choice but to accompany her.

The entire way, his main concern was Ji Yu’s physical condition.

"I’m not as fragile as you think. Yes, I’m pregnant, but that doesn’t mean I have to stay home and do nothing."

She was still capable of many things.

Besides, the matter with Feng Qinqin weighed heavily on her, filling her with guilt. She only wanted to resolve it as best as she could.

Seeing her resolve, Gu Qixiao knew he couldn’t dissuade her. "Yu, no matter what happens later, don’t act impulsively. I’ll protect you."

"Mm." Ji Yu responded absentmindedly. Whether she truly agreed or was just brushing him off was anyone’s guess.

Regardless, Gu Qixiao had prepared for every possible scenario. Ji Yu was the most important person in his life, more important than anyone else.

So if a moment came where he had to make a choice, he wouldn’t hesitate to take Ji Yu away.
