C1 Out of Prison

"Crash ~ ~ ~"

The heavy door of the prison was pushed open bit by bit, along with the noise. As Cheng Jin looked at the dazzling sunlight outside, she actually felt a little absent-minded.

What happened five years ago seems to have happened just yesterday.

"You can go now." The guard handed her a small duffel bag and an outdated cell phone.

Holding the phone, Cheng Jin subconsciously wanted to turn on the phone, but found that she couldn't turn it on no matter what, so she gave a self-deprecating smile.

Five years had passed, and even if it hadn't been broken, there was no more electricity.

"Hiss …" An urgent sound of brakes suddenly rang out.

The black, lengthened Rolls-Royce stopped at the side of the road, seemingly out of place with the desolate scenery.

Just when Cheng Jin was wondering who's car would appear here, a slender figure walked out from the back seat.

When she saw the man getting out of the car, her pupils abruptly constricted.

Next.

Cheng Jin quickly turned his eyes away, ready to pretend that he didn't see it, but he felt a cold and terrifying gaze falling on her.

Cheng Jin didn't want to guess who the owner of that gaze was. In any case, she had already lost everything in the past five years, including her father's death, her mother's mental breakdown, and … The betrayal of his fiance.

Upon thinking of the events that happened five years ago, Cheng Jin felt his mind going into chaos. He stared dully at the scene in front of him, but he didn't know where to start.

"Cheng Jin."

A cold voice suddenly rang out.

With no other choice, Cheng Jin froze on the spot.

He raised his head and looked at the man in front of him, whom he had not seen for ten years.

After a long time …

He was as handsome as ever, even more charming than before. His three-dimensional facial features were as handsome as a knife. His entire person gave off a heart palpitating deterrence.

This man was so powerful that it caused people to be afraid!

Gu Chen's eyes narrowed and he moved his long legs. He walked in front of Cheng Jin and looked down at her from above. His dark eyes were filled with an almost imperceptible trace of worry.

"What are you doing?" Cheng Jin clenched his bag and subconsciously took a step back.

Perhaps it was because it had been a long time since he had spoken to the people of the outside world, but Cheng Jin's voice sounded hoarse and alert.

Looking at Cheng Jin's cautious expression, the man then gave a look to the old housekeeper.

The old butler understood, and took the initiative to step forward to take the bag from Cheng Jin's hands. "Miss Cheng, please let me take it."

Cheng Jin was like a chick protecting his food as he subconsciously hugged his bag and took a step back.

Seeing Cheng Jin in this state, Gu Chen couldn't help but lightly frown, as if someone had lightly poked his heart.

"Let's go back and talk." Gu Chen took a step forward unquestionably and gently held Cheng Jin's delicate shoulder. Although he didn't put too much force into it, Cheng Jin was unable to break free.

In the prison, her instincts told her that if she didn't do as she was told, this man would become very scary.

However, his intuition also told him that this man in front of him had no ill intentions.

Gu Chen was tall and sturdy. As long as he could get close enough to Cheng Jin, the difference in height was obvious.

Maybe it was because of what happened five years ago, but Cheng Jin had already put up her guard. After hearing Gu Chen's words, she subconsciously wanted to run away.

"Director Gu, it's getting late." The old butler at the side said in a timely manner.

When Cheng Jin heard this, he subconsciously looked at the man. The man's unrestrained facial features carried a trace of arrogance. His short hair was pinned behind his head by hair gel, and his pretty eyes narrowed.

"Let's go." Gu Chen muttered to himself for a long time, then he held Cheng Jin's shoulder and walked in the direction of his car.

Listening to the man's pleasant voice, Cheng Jin became a bit absent-minded. She then followed the man's footsteps out of nowhere.

After getting on the car, Cheng Jin found that the car was full. Although it wasn't spacious, the bar, sofa, and office supplies were all full.

Seeing the man sitting on the other side with a distant face, Cheng Jin started to feel scared as she held her bag. Although Cheng Jin knew she had nothing left now, this man's appearance still made her uneasy.

He was obviously very familiar with this place, but Cheng Jin couldn't really tell what was weird about it.

While Cheng Jin was stunned, Gu Shenwei poured himself a glass of wine and said to Cheng Jin indifferently, "Do you want some?"

Cheng Jin bit his lips, shook his head and fell silent.

It was unknown whether it was because the man's aura was too strong or because she, Cheng Jin, was too humble. During her five years in the prison, Cheng Jin had long worn down his innocence.

Seeing that Cheng Jin was able to lessen the feeling of his own existence, Gu Chen's face couldn't help but sink. He poured himself a cup of wine and then placed it against his lips as he calmly looked at Cheng Jin.

Feeling the man's gaze on her, Cheng Jin only tensed up and sat in her own position, not daring to move.

After an unknown amount of time, Cheng Jin finally couldn't stand being stared at like that by the man. With a trembling voice, she said, "You …"

Gu Chen listened for a long time before frowning slightly.

This little girl, why is she still resisting him?

Gu Chen took a long time to put down his wine cup. He raised his hand gracefully.

"Don't be afraid." The word 'faint' caused Cheng Jin to instantly forget to breathe.

"…"

Cheng Jin didn't say anything. He just stared blankly at the reserved behavior of this gentle looking man in front of him. He couldn't believe that this was Gu Chen for a long time.

After disappearing for ten years, Cheng Jin even thought that they would never meet again for the rest of their lives.

The past came one after another.

"Little Jin, can you not interact with Mo Yi Xuan in the future?"

"Little Jin, Uncle Cheng said that he wanted you and Mo Yi Xuan to be engaged. Is that true? Answer me! "

"Why, why did you agree to him! "Why?!"

"Cheng!" "Jin!"

Before leaving the country, Gu Chen had even thought that if Cheng Jin had asked him to stay, he might have stayed back then. But Cheng Jin hadn't even said goodbye to him.

At that time, Gu Chen had already understood that there was only Mo Yi Xuan in Cheng Jin's heart.

While Gu Shenwei was lost in his own thoughts, the car had stopped. Not long later, the voice of the old housekeeper came through the window.

"Director Gu, we've arrived at the mall."

When Cheng Jin heard this, he subconsciously opened the window and looked out. He couldn't help but take in a deep breath.

Gu Chen looked at Cheng Jin for a long time, then he opened his lips and said, "Go down."

Down?

Cheng Jin was shocked. She wasn't ready to face the outside world yet, but looking at Gu Shenwei's cold and forceful expression, she couldn't help but be scared.

In these five years, she had yearned for the outside world more than once, but now, facing it for real, Cheng Jin's heart was at a loss.

"I … I'm not sure yet …" Cheng Jin slightly nodded, pinching the white clothes on his body.

This piece of clothing was the same as it was five years ago, and it was also the only outfit Cheng Jin could wear in the past five years. Cheng Jin couldn't bear to part with it, but now with this outfit in front of Gu Shenwei, she felt a strong inferiority complex, causing Gu Chen to be inexplicably afraid.

The events of the past kept churning in Cheng Jin's mind.

Five years in jail. When he came out, Cheng Jin had never thought that the first person he would see after coming out would be Gu Chen.

However, time had changed. In terms of status, the difference between her and Gu Chen was as different as heaven and earth. Five years was still the same.

They only had the identities of two people.

Looking at Cheng Jin's timid appearance, Gu Chen frowned slightly. Just what had happened in the past five years?
