Chapter 154: Chapter 154: He pulled her into his car
The tall and imposing figure, backlit by the light, slowly walked into everyone’s view.
He was like an eagle emerging from the darkness, appearing cold, detached yet overwhelming, radiating a dominant solitude as if he looked down upon the world.
He came alone, but his formidable presence was enough to crush everyone in the room.
As he approached, everyone saw his appearance clearly.

He had the face of a young and handsome man.
Slanted eyebrows that swept into his temples, jet-black, profound eyes, a high and prominent nose bridge, and thin, crimson lips exuding sensuality.
...
The lines of his jaw were taut, resonating with intensity and sharpness.
As he walked over, not a single person dared to speak.
He was dressed in a handmade suit, with a black coat draped over his shoulders; the well-tailored fabric accentuated his tall and straight figure perfectly.
A layer of cold and aloofness covered his eyes and brows, and the bearing that overlooked the world intimidated the bodyguards who were swept by his gaze.
Ming Yao saw Gu Siting approaching, and a flash of surprise and complexity flitted through her eyes.
Why, why would he come here?
Perhaps sensing Ming Yao’s gaze, Gu Siting glanced over at her.
His eyes were like whirlpools, pitch-black and profound, and extremely dangerous.
He took long strides toward her.
Ming Yao averted her gaze first.
Gu Siting walked up to Ming Yao, his dark eyes solemn as he spoke, “What, does the Zhou Family now think it can rise above the Gu Family? You killed my cat and now you want to hit my wife?”
As soon as Gu Siting spoke, Old Lady Zhou’s face changed dramatically.
She had some understanding of Gu Siting’s temperament.
If he hadn’t verified something, he wouldn’t speak recklessly.
Which meant that her Mocha really was killed by Zhiyan!
Old Lady Zhou looked at Zhou Zhiyan with red-rimmed eyes, trembling with rage. “Zhiyan, why did you kill Mocha? You knew how important she was to Grandma, yet you disregarded her life. How could you be this kind of person?”
Anger, disbelief, and disappointment welled up in Old Lady Zhou’s eyes.
Zhou Zhiyan’s mind buzzed, and her legs gave way as she knelt before Old Lady Zhou.
“Grandma, it’s because I love Brother Siting too much. But he was seduced by Ming Yao, trying to ruin my reputation. In a moment of confusion, I did such a thing…”
Ming Yao snorted with laughter, “Zhou Zhiyan, playing the saint after being a whore? Your heart is vicious; because of your own desires, you killed two innocent cats. And now, you’re still playing the victim under the guise of love, shifting the blame onto others?”
Zhou Zhiyan glared at Ming Yao with hatred. “Ming Yao, you slut, shut your mouth— Ah!”
Before she could finish speaking, she was violently kicked by Gu Siting.
Zhou Zhiyan was sent flying by the kick and spat out a mouthful of blood when she hit the ground.
Madam Zhou screamed in fright, “Zhiyan! Gu Siting, have you lost your mind? If anything happens to my Zhiyan…”
Before Madam Zhou could finish speaking, Gu Siting interrupted her coldly, “What does her life or death have to do with me?”
In Li City, Fourth Master was a god.
Though the Zhou Family wasn’t bad off, they didn’t have the strength to stand against Fourth Master!
Madam Zhou’s complexion went from green to purple after being rebuffed by Gu Siting.
Ming Yao watched such an arrogant and domineering man; her heart skipped a beat.
This man, though cold and detached, was sometimes quite charming.
Gu Siting didn’t seem to want to glance at the Zhou family members anymore. His deep, dark eyes fixed on Ming Yao, “Come with me!”
Ming Yao, “…”
Just because he said to come with him, she should follow?
Had he forgotten how he had driven her away just a few days ago?
Ming Yao hummed softly to herself, ignoring Gu Siting; after all, the truth had been revealed.
Zhou Zhiyan had also received a beating from her; there was no reason for her to stay at the Zhou Mansion any longer.
Ming Yao bid farewell to Su Lan and Zhou Yanyan with a word, then walked out ahead of them.
Fourth Master Gu, who was ignored and neglected by Ming Yao, “…”
As Ming Yao reached the door of Zhou Mansion, just as she was about to get into Jing Hang’s sports car, a slender, fair, large hand reached out.
It grabbed her wrist and directly pulled her into his Bentley.
Ming Yao wanted to get out of the car, but her wrist was tightly held by the man, and she couldn’t break free.
“You’re hurting me,” she said.
He loosened her wrist and signaled Lu Zhou in front to drive.
Lu Zhou didn’t dare to take another glance at the couple who seemed to be having a spat and quickly started the engine.
Ming Yao’s skin was delicate, and a red mark appeared where the man had pinched her.
She looked up at the man with her eyes and said in a faint voice, “Why has Fourth Master come here?”
When she didn’t want to deal with him, or wanted to keep her distance, she would usually call him Mr. Gu, President Gu, or Fourth Master.
Gu Siting saw the faint redness in the whites of Ming Yao’s eyes and knew that she probably hadn’t slept in the past two days.
He furrowed his brows, “Didn’t that Jing guy take you to elope?”
Elope?
What the hell?
Did he know she had been to the airport with Jing Hang?
No, that’s not right; getting off topic here.
“You haven’t answered me yet, why did you come to Zhou Mansion?”
Gu Siting’s lips pressed into a thin line, and he said in a husky voice, “After calming down, I felt there was something fishy about Little Snowball’s death. I checked the surveillance, and also the cat tree that Little Snowball liked to play on during the day.”
“I found a small granule in the cat litter that looked just like it, and after getting it tested, I discovered that those granules could induce a cat to go into heat.”
“Then I checked the surveillance around Imperial Garden and saw Old Lady Zhou’s Mocha.”
So that was it.
Who would have thought that Fourth Master Gu would be quite astute! If it hadn’t been for her coming across Little Snowball turned into a kitten, she might not have thought that Little Snowball was killed by someone!
Zhou Zhiyan had played a clever move.
“Little Snowball was killed by Zhou Zhiyan, and you’re letting her off just like that?”
Gu Siting pulled at the corner of his lip, his deep eyes flashing a bone-chilling coldness, “How could I?”
Ming Yao felt chilled by the fleeting coldness in Gu Siting’s eyes.
…
Zhou Mansion.
Old Lady Zhou sat on the sofa, feeble and weak, as she instructed the butler, “Lock Zhou Zhiyan in the confinement room, and without my orders, no one is allowed to see her!”
Madam Zhou hugged Zhou Zhiyan and pleaded with Old Lady Zhou, “Mom, Zhiyan knows she was wrong, she didn’t mean to kill Mocha, it’s all Gu Siting’s fault. The last time we went to Imperial Garden, he threatened her with a few photoshopped nude photos of Zhiyan, when it comes down to it, Zhiyan is also a victim!”
“Zhiyan grew up under your watch, she is pure, kind-hearted, and diligent, a model among Li City’s ladies of society, she would never do anything improper. When Gu Siting threatened her, she almost hit a pillar and died, mom, please forgive Zhiyan this one time——”
Before Madam Zhou could finish, the butler suddenly rushed in, panicked.
“Old Madam, something bad has happened!”
Frustrated by the flustered butler, Old Lady Zhou’s headache intensified, “What now?”
“Miss Zhiyan is trending on the hot search!”
The butler handed his phone to Old Lady Zhou.
Upon seeing the news trending on the hot search, Old Lady Zhou’s eyes rolled back, and she fainted from anger.
Madam Zhou, not knowing which news could have made Old Lady Zhou faint, snatched the phone to look.
After reading it, her face turned deathly pale, her mind buzzing with noise.
This time, her Zhiyan was truly finished!
