Back in Jinyang, Gu Yuying called out Mi Lu.
"Mi Lu, I'll get straight to the point, were you kidnapped four days ago?" Gu Yuying asked directly.
"How did you know? Do you know who it was?" Mi Lu hadn't mentioned this to anyone, and couldn't figure out how Gu Yuying knew.
Hearing Mi Lu's response confirmed Gu Yuying's suspicions.
"It was my enemy who took you. It was not because of you, but to threaten Qingqing." As he said this, Gu Yuying felt a pang of sadness. It was all his fault. He couldn't even protect his own wife.
Knowing that Mi Lu wouldn't understand, Gu Yuying went on to explain.
"They knew about your close relationship with Qingqing, so...they proposed a deal, your safety in exchange for Qingqing." Gu Yuying didn't intend to tell Mi Lu all this, but he knew she would be able to handle it.
As a member of such a family, she had often been the victim of kidnappings and blackmail.
