My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 1051: About to Go Crazy

Frantically sent people to search for Ye Lu’s whereabouts, but dared not reveal the news to Third Young Master Jun, fearing it would disturb his state of mind.

He was so anxious that it felt like he was going in circles.

Ilid’s heart turned cold; he was hired as a bodyguard, but he got along well with Ye Lu and felt that she had recently taken great interest in Third Young Master Jun’s matters. Thinking this might be a chance to change the relationship between Ye Lu and Third Young Master Jun, he had let his guard down with her.

Ye Lu was also very measured usually, she definitely wouldn’t run around recklessly. She would stay in if she could and would consciously bring a lot of bodyguards when she did go out.

So, when she said she was just going out to buy something nearby and would be back soon, he allowed her to go.

Dizzy, this was troublesome. If Third Young Master Jun found out his wife was lost, he would go crazy.

At this crucial moment, there couldn’t be any trouble from Third Young Master Jun’s side.

Ilid immediately used his special status to request a secret search from the local government, but after two days there was still no trace, obviously, someone must have hidden her.

This time Ilid truly knew trouble was afoot; even under such powerful search efforts, there were still no clues, clear evidence that the person who captured Ye Lu was no ordinary individual.

...

"Right now, a lot of people are looking for you, even using government resources. He is quite capable, Prince Ilid, right? His good friend, using a lot of money and power to search for you!"

Gu Yan was holding a basin as he came downstairs with food on top and walked down the basement stairs.

Ye Lu sat quietly on the sofa, watching him with cold eyes.

"You must be jealous, because you don’t have even one true friend."

Gu Yan’s heart ached and his gaze turned icy. Yes, he was very jealous. Third Young Master Jun, a man who did so many evil deeds, yet everyone sided with him. His grandparents loved him, his mother loved him, Ye Lu loved him, his subordinates were loyal to him, even a friend would go through thick and thin for him.

He was driven mad by jealousy.

"Hmph." Gu Yan put down the tray and left.

"How long are you going to keep me confined?" Ye Lu’s voice remained very calm.

"In a month, you will naturally be let go," Gu Yan said coldly as he walked away.

Ye Lu took the tray and ate her meal methodically, sinking into thought.

Gu Yan had captured her for two days. By all logic, he should either torture her for revenge or use her to threaten Third Young Master Jun, but currently, he showed no sign of action, and she wondered what plot he was brewing.

She was very anxious on the inside, trying to think of ways to escape, but the situation was exceptionally difficult for her now.

In this godforsaken place, shouting wouldn’t bring anyone running; even if someone heard, they wouldn’t care about her.

Ye Lu’s gaze hardened. So, if she wanted to get out, the only way was if Gu Yan was present, she had to take him down, subdue him, in order to escape.

But as a pregnant woman, to overcome a grown man would be difficult; she needed absolute certainty before taking action, otherwise, if she enraged Gu Yan and he pushed her or harmed her child, it would be disastrous.

Now, she had to prioritize the safety of her child and could not act recklessly.

Over the past few days, she had been contemplating various methods.

First, she needed a sharp weapon. With just her hands and feet, it was not possible to overpower Gu Yan; if she were to subdue him, she definitely needed a good sharp weapon.

But it was impossible to find any sharp weapons in the basement; everything, like the sofa, was soft, and the furniture was well-built and sturdy. Clearly, Gu Yan had thought everything through, not allowing her to get her hands on any weapons that could threaten him.

Moreover, inside the basement, he must have installed cameras to monitor her every move.
