Chapter 239 Chess Pieces
Han Ning and Ye Ran had just entered the mall and had no idea that Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan were also inside.

Ye Ran didn't care. If they met, then so be it. She was thick-skinned and even wanted to go up and say hello.

Han Ning, however, looked away and uneasy, unable to even look directly at the two people. He pulled Ye Ran's sleeve and asked her to leave.

Ye Ran: "What? I haven't bought anything yet."

The two of them will be engaged in a few days. Although it is just relatives of the two families sitting together for a meal, Ye Ran will also come to the city to buy things, vowing to make her engagement party grand and proper.

Han Ning's voice suddenly trembled. "Let's go to the second floor to look at the clothes first, and come down later."

Ye Ran: "You're shopping downstairs, why do you want to go upstairs?"

Ye Ran thought this guy was strange. It had been so long since the incident between him and Meng Shulan, and now they each had their own family, so why was he so reluctant to let go?
He was apparently fine at school before, but now he looks timid, as if he is afraid of others.

What are you doing?
Ye Ran had no idea about Han Ning's awakened memories, she just felt that his behavior was abnormal.

Han Ning began to sweat at this moment, his bloodshot eyes glaring, "You're not leaving, are you? Fine, I'll go, why not I go?"

After Han Ning finished speaking, he walked away on his own. His steps were so fast that it seemed as if there was a ghost chasing him from behind.

Ye Ran frowned, smiled faintly at Gu Hansong and Meng Shulan, and followed them away.

After the two men left, Gu Hansong's clenched teeth finally loosened.

Beside him, Meng Shulan asked him, "Why are you so nervous?" He tensed his body as if facing a great enemy.

Gu Hansong: "It's not nervousness, it's hatred." And anger.

"Hate?" Meng Shulan was a little puzzled. Although she had a bad relationship with those two people, she had never told Gu Hansong about these things!

Gu Hansong turned to look at her, stroked Meng Shulan's ponytail and said, "He had his eyes on you in school and had ulterior motives towards you. Ye Ran grew up with you, and you treated her as a friend and took her to study with you, but this man turned against you. Not only did he not help you, he also condoned the Ye family's misdeeds and snatched business from yours."

After listening to his explanation, Meng Shulan nodded. Those two people really deserved to be hated.

"Okay, let's go."

"Okay." There's a long way to go.

On the other side, on the stairwell on the second floor of the shopping mall, Han Ning was leaning against the corner of the wall, gasping for breath.

The weather in August is the hottest time of the year. Coupled with the shock just now, Han Ning was sweating profusely, and even his back was wet.

Ye Ran came up and frowned at him, saying, "What's wrong with you? Those two aren't monsters, are they that scary?"

Ye Ran's tone was not good.

Ever since Ye Ran captured Han Ning and tied him to herself, her attitude towards him gradually began to change.

She herself did not notice this change, but anyone with a discerning eye could tell it.

I already got it, there's no need to be humble anymore.

Previously, Han Ning treated Ye Ran as a chess piece and a tool.

Isn’t Ye Ran the same?

Han Ning is also her ladder to escape from the countryside and her springboard.

She had a purpose in approaching this man from the beginning. As for liking him, there was definitely some, but not too much.

Han Ning tilted his head to look at Ye Ran, the woman who had been toying with him in both of his lives.

"What do you know? You idiot, bitch, slut!"

How can I not be afraid?

Just now, when Han Ning and Gu Hansong's eyes met, some images suddenly flooded into Han Ning's mind. There were only two images.

The first scene was in a magnificent private room. Gu Hansong, wearing an expensive suit and shaking a glass of red wine, asked him calmly, "How have you been these years?"

Han Ning leaned over and smiled. "It's going well. Shulan went to take the exam not long ago and said she wants to work in the Cultural Center. She likes the work there. Mr. Gu, we're all from the same hometown. Do you want to arrange a dinner so we can meet and chat?"

Gu Hansong lowered his eyes and said, "No. My flight is tomorrow."

"Oh, is that so? That's a shame. Let's make an appointment next time. You two haven't seen each other for so many years. Shulan will definitely be very happy to see you."

After Han Ning finished speaking, the person leaning on the sofa suddenly chuckled.

Han Ning could tell that he was not very happy. He didn't know where he said something wrong and became a little nervous.

After a while, Gu Hansong said, "I heard you opened a chain of drugstores?"

Han Ning nodded quickly and said, "Yes, yes, it's just three stores. One of them is not profitable yet. I just run a small business to make some living expenses."

Gu Hansong: "Are you interested in getting involved in medical devices?"

Han Ning was shocked and ecstatic.

"Boss Gu, of course I want to expand my business, but I just don't have a way!"

This scene lasted only two minutes. Gu Hansong had no displeasure or conflict with him, and even wanted to give him some advice.

Although Han Ning didn't know whether he would do medical equipment business in the future, the conversation between the two was pleasant this time.

This should have happened after he married Meng Shulan. Moreover, the fact that Gu Hansong could make him nod and bow so eagerly that he wanted to cling to him was enough to prove that he was already very successful at that time, and his main direction was not domestic, but overseas.

He is a fellow townsman of Meng Shulan, has achieved great success, and still wants to improve himself.

This was supposed to be a good conversation, but Han Ning felt an indescribable pressure.

The pressure made him breathless, his heart was pounding, and he desperately wanted to escape.

He had an illusion that what Gu Hansong gave him was not a road to wealth and glory, but a hell leading to death.

It was in this situation that Han Ning wanted to escape, quickly avoiding Gu Hansong's sight and leaving that place.

But when he fled to the second floor, another scene appeared in his mind.

This time, everything was dark before his eyes. He was tied to a chair, his eyes were covered with cloth strips, and his mouth was stuffed with something. He couldn't see and couldn't take it out.

Water poured down from the top of his head, and the suffocating feeling of drowning made Han Ning tremble like a sieve.

He wanted to scream, he wanted to cry, he regretted it, he wanted to die...

The second scene was very short, only about ten seconds at most, but it made Han Ning feel like he was walking through hell.

Although he didn't see anything this time and only heard the sound of water, he felt an inexplicable hint in his heart.

It’s related to Gu Hansong, everything is related to Gu Hansong.

It was he who tied himself up and tortured himself.

Although I don’t know the reason, he is him and everything is about him.

Han Ning finally understood why he was so afraid of Gu Hansong.

This person must have done something to himself in another life, tortured himself, or killed himself.

Because of those things, he instinctively felt fear towards that person.
