There are still five minutes until the hero escapes from marriage.

Gu Ruoxian was escorted out of the hotel lobby with a livid face.

In Licheng, many people knew her, knowing she was the Gu family’s daughter, and they would give her some face. But this was Erhai, tens of thousands of miles away from Licheng.

A few hours ago, she received a call from the police, saying a woman named Su Mengyao was looking for her with urgent matters. She initially thought she misheard. After all, no matter how unreliable Su Mengyao was, it wasn’t to the extent of getting herself into the police station.

Gu Ruoxian didn’t want to bother, but considering her stance, she couldn’t ignore her. Compared to the excellent Wen Zhao, she certainly preferred Su Mengyao to be her sister-in-law. After all, Wen Zhao and Gu Xianting would be a strong alliance, but with Su Mengyao and Gu Xianting together, it would be a negative outcome.

It was strange; her brother, who had been excellent since childhood, started to decline rapidly after meeting Su Mengyao, frequently making blunders.

In the past two years, she had intentionally run into Su Mengyao several times. After knowing she was Gu Xianting’s sister, Su Mengyao became very friendly. 

When Gu Ruoxian subtly revealed the conflicts between her and Gu Xianting, Su Mengyao enthusiastically helped them resolve their issues.

Because of the kidnapping incident involving Gu Xianting, Gu Ruoxian was almost banished from the Gu family. However, Su Mengyao was genuinely useful. 

Over the past two years, the relationship between Gu Xianting and her had eased, and naturally, the Gu family gradually forgave her past mistakes.

She disguised herself and went to the police station. When she found out why Su Mengyao was arrested, her look at Su Mengyao changed. 

“It wasn’t me! I didn’t!” Su Mengyao couldn’t explain how she entered that room. Xu Nian insisted he lost a watch worth millions, and only Su Mengyao had entered.

She couldn’t mention the male lead rescue system, fearing being seen as crazy or sent to a lab for dissection.

“Xianting was kidnapped by Wen Zhao!” Su Mengyao, desperate, blurted out everything, “He’s hurt, in danger, in that hotel, in that room! I’m telling the truth, I didn’t lie. 

Though I don’t know why there wasn’t Wen Zhao or any blood there… but believe me, Xianting is there!”

Gu Ruoxian wondered if Su Mengyao thought she was a fool.

In Licheng’s high society, everyone knew Wen Zhao loved Gu Xianting. Despite past issues, they successfully held their wedding yesterday, and she posted their marriage certificate and honeymoon photos on Weibo!

But Su Mengyao didn’t seem to be lying. Besides, what would she gain from such a lie?

Thinking of this, Gu Ruoxian’s eyes carried a hint of doubt, “Mengyao, I know you don’t want to accept reality, but Xianting and Wen Zhao are married now.”

“Huh?” Su Mengyao knew they were married; Gu Ruoxian didn’t need to stab her heart again!

“Xianting wouldn’t want to neglect you, but he just got married. The Wen family isn’t a small family; he can’t be that willful.” Gu Ruoxian held her hand. She needed to comfort this useful tool.

“You don’t believe me?” Su Mengyao slowly realized, looking at Gu Ruoxian in disbelief, eyes full of grievance, “You think I staged this to get Xianting back?”

Gu Ruoxian almost said “Otherwise?” but swallowed her words.

In the past, whenever Gu Xianting and Wen Zhao dated, Su Mengyao would have an incident, and her seemingly bewitched brother would leave Wen Zhao to find her. Su Mengyao’s move always worked.

The more Gu Ruoxian thought, the more it made sense. Maybe it was really like this.

Seeing Su Mengyao’s angry look, she had to continue comforting, “Don’t worry, Xianting will come back soon. He loves you, but can’t contact you openly because of the Wen family. You’ve always been the most understanding, right?”

“I…” Su Mengyao struggled to speak, getting more tongue-tied as she got more upset.

“I understand, I’ll get you out soon, trust me!” Gu Ruoxian said, patting her hand, ready to leave.

Su Mengyao wouldn’t let Gu Ruoxian go so easily!

She held her hand tightly, “I didn’t! This time it’s not a lie!”

“Believe me, Xianting didn’t want to marry her and was taken away by Wen Zhao!” In her panic, her speech problem temporarily disappeared, “Think about it, wasn’t it strange the wedding ended early? Wen Zhao, who wanted to marry Xianting so badly, would end it early without even exchanging rings due to a health issue?”

“Besides, if there was a health issue, how could they still go to Erhai?” Su Mengyao’s thoughts became clearer when it concerned her safety.

Gu Ruoxian was stunned, realizing she had a point.

She sat back down, “But how did you know Xianting wanted to back out? Did he tell you?”

Of course, he.didn’t tell her. They had painfully decided to separate before the wedding.

But she couldn’t tell the truth now, only starting to lie, “Yes, he showed signs of regret!”

“You know, Wen Zhao’s people always watch me. They must have told her I was going to the wedding. She worried I’d take him away, so she ended it early!”

She spoke firmly, as if she had uncovered the truth.

If Wen Zhao knew, she’d thank her for finding her a perfect reason to end the wedding early!

Her words had no major flaws, and Gu Ruoxian finally believed her.

“I see, but now, no one else would believe this.” Seeing her anxious, Gu Ruoxian quickly added, “Don’t worry, I’ll find out everything. If Wen Zhao did this, my parents won’t let her off.”

“Wait here; I’ll check the hotel. If true, Xu Nian is an accomplice, and I’ll make him drop charges.” Gu Ruoxian promised.

“Okay, I’ll wait for you!” Su Mengyao finally let go reluctantly.

Gu Ruoxian went to the hotel, didn’t act rashly, and got a room on the same floor. Then she went up with her key card.

She knocked, Xu Nian opened the door. She talked with him for a long time, even got into the room to search, but found no clues.

She wondered if she was deceived by Su Mengyao again. She pleaded for Su Mengyao, but Xu Nian, a sly fox, insisted on following police procedures.

She had to leave temporarily.

She tried contacting Gu Xianting, but his secretary answered, saying he was instructed no work during the honeymoon for relaxation.

She located this hotel in Erhai from Wen Zhao’s WeChat moments.

She planned to check if they were staying there, but the front desk was uncooperative!

Standing at the hotel entrance, she suppressed the urge to leave. This was a golden opportunity. If Gu Xianting was kidnapped, she could take over his power. If not, she’d tell him about Su Mengyao at the police station, and he’d definitely be anxious!

Just as she planned to get a room and investigate slowly, her phone rang again.

It was a video call from Wen Zhao.

She answered, ready to confront her, but saw Gu Xianting in the video!

He looked bad, with injuries on his lips. As soon as he saw her, he tried to speak.

In the next second, a pale hand covered his mouth.
