Chapter 973 There is news about Gu Wanqiu

Mrs. Liu thought to herself that if her daughter were by her side, she would definitely discipline her daughter strictly and would not let her waste a penny. She should let her go to work this summer. She was used to a good life and should work hard and try to work. Only by working hard to make money would she realize how hard it is to earn money.

Mrs. Liu also had stomach problems, which were accompanied by esophagitis. Whenever she was in a bad mood or got angry, her throat would be blocked and uncomfortable. She drank two large glasses of water before she felt a little better. She called Gu Wanqiu again, and was told that the client was busy.

She could even memorize Gu Wanqiu's cell phone number, but unfortunately, no matter how skilled she was, the other party wouldn't pick up the phone once she called it.

Mrs. Liu always had a feeling that she might never see Gu Wanqiu again in her life, nor hear her voice again.

If she lives well outside, she can feel at ease. If not... she can't sleep well at night.

Gu Wanqiu always said she wasn't good enough, but in Liu's eyes, she was already very good. She had stunning looks, education, intelligence, and a good personality. What else was wrong with her? How could she not like such an excellent girl?

If she were to say, having a daughter like Gu Wanqiu was the blessing she had earned in her previous life.

In comparison, her daughter Liu Ying is the ignorant one.

Mrs. Liu put down her phone. The buns were a little cold, so she put them in the pot and steamed them again. She had just drunk two large glasses of water and her stomach was full. After the buns were steamed, Mrs. Liu could only eat half of one and could not eat any more.

Li Jinxing restricted her from going out, but this did not restrict her freedom. She could stay in the house or go to the manor outside the house.

The air in the manor is particularly good in the morning. July and August are the seasons when sunflowers, crape myrtles, and platycodons bloom. Mrs. Liu stood outside the sunflower bed, watching the sunflowers that had originally drooped their heads slowly raise their heads when the sunlight came in. The saying "growing towards the sun" is exactly what sunflowers are all about.

Sunflower has a very romantic meaning: there is no one else in sight, you are everywhere.

When I have you, you are like the sun and I can’t take my eyes off you. When I don’t have you, I lower my head and look at no one.

…

It would take a lot of time to walk around such a large manor. While Mrs. Liu was walking around, she also thought about sneaking out.

Thinking is one thing, and actually doing it is another. She still has some self-awareness and knows that even if she really gets out of here, she will soon be caught by Li Jinxing's men. After being caught, Li Jinxing may even threaten her daughter, and the situation will be even more difficult at that time.

Let's talk about the situation around here. There are cameras everywhere, and there are guards outside watching over the manor. She was stared back before she even reached the door.

At ten o'clock, Mrs. Liu started preparing lunch. Zhou Yi and He Tian also came today. Three grown men need to eat a lot, so Mrs. Liu prepared two meat dishes, two vegetable dishes and a bone soup.

There were all kinds of ingredients in the refrigerator. He Tian was a very enthusiastic person. He smelled the fragrance as soon as he came in and went to the kitchen to ask Mrs. Liu what delicious food she had prepared.

Mrs. Liu smiled stiffly: "I didn't prepare anything, just a few home-cooked dishes."

"My favorite food is home-cooked dishes. I'm tired of eating out. Sometimes I'm too busy to eat, so I can only eat bread. I ate bread this morning. Is there any meat?"

"There's meat. I made boiled beef and sweet and sour spareribs."

"I also like sweet and sour pork, and steamed pork with rice flour."

Mrs. Liu and He Tian were not familiar with each other, but He Tian was an extrovert and a little too familiar, which Mrs. Liu thought was a good idea. She could establish a good relationship with He Tian in advance, and maybe even ask him to plead for her in front of Li Jinxing and let her out earlier.

"Then I'll make sweet and sour pork and steamed pork with rice flour tonight."

"Maybe I won't eat here tonight?"

"Then I'll have President Li arrange for someone to deliver it to you?"

"Don't bother. I should be here tomorrow at noon. You can do it then."

"Well... okay."

Zhou Yi waited quietly for He Tian on the side. Seeing that he hadn't come yet, he said, "He Tian should leave. The boss is still waiting inside."

"Okay, Mrs. Liu, I'll be leaving then."

Mrs. Liu hurriedly called him: "Mr. He, can you please do me a favor?"

He Tian turned around: "What's the matter?"

"It's just... can you please say a few good words for me in front of President Li? It's fine for me to cook here, but I just hope to be able to go out. After all, I have a daughter, and she will be worried about me if she can't see me."

Cooking is one of Mrs. Liu's specialties. Before she became a nanny, she cooked for others outside. Cooking is cooking anywhere. The house here is big, so she doesn't have to clean. The room she lives in is also spacious, the bed is very comfortable, and there is a separate bathroom.

But no matter how comfortable she lives here, if she is not allowed to leave and loses her freedom, isn't that just like being in prison?

He Tian said in embarrassment: "The boss has made a decision and there is no way to change it. You can just stay here and relax. Apart from not letting you go out, he won't make things difficult for you or anything."

How could she feel at ease? Isn't this embarrassing?

Mrs. Liu looked anxious, and He Tian comforted her: "Don't worry, once we find Miss Gu, we won't keep you here. You can go wherever you want."

"What if we can't find it?" Then she would be locked up here for the rest of her life.

"It won't be impossible to find it. There's nothing the boss can't find. It's just a matter of time." He Tian revealed the information. "Besides, we already have some clues. I guess it won't be long before you can get out of here."

"Mr. He, can you tell me that now that Miss Gu has been found, will President Li do anything bad to her?"

"Well..." He Tian shrugged, "It's hard to say."

Mrs. Liu's face turned pale.

He Tian continued, "But you can rest assured about one thing, you won't be locked up here forever..." Even if he couldn't find Gu Wanqiu, Li Jinxing wouldn't keep Mrs. Liu here forever. After all, the two of them had no relationship.

After He Tian finished speaking, he walked towards Zhou Yi. The two of them took the elevator together and went to the third floor, where Li Jinxing worked.

His office used to have a whole wall of floor-to-ceiling windows, which provided good lighting and views. He could see the rose fountain outside at a glance.

Ever since he came back from prison, Li Jinxing had sealed the floor-to-ceiling window, leaving only a small window, which was covered with curtains all day long. The room was pitch black when there was no light.

Compared to sunlight, Li Jinxing now prefers light, which has no warmth at all.

He Tian and Zhou Yi reported on their work and the tasks they had completed. The ship Liu Zibo was on had an accident. If something happened at sea, there was a high probability that he would not be able to return, but at the same time... his body could not be found, so they could not be sure whether Liu Zibo was 100% dead.

Li Jinxing was not happy to hear the news.

He Tian talked about Gu Wanqiu again. "We already have a clue. Judging from the text messages she sent to Mrs. Liu regularly, we have found the source of the signal. The people we sent out are conducting a comprehensive search. We have found the route Gu Wanqiu took. She went to J City, and someone saw her along the way."

"When can we find it?" Li Jinxing only wanted the result. He held a pen in his hand and signed while listening to He Tian's report. When he mentioned Gu Wanqiu, he stopped moving his hands.

It's really hard to be sure. It would be too difficult for him to give an exact time. He Tian decided to say a longer time to leave himself some wiggle room.

"One month..." As soon as the words came out, Li Jinxing looked at him coldly.

He Tian pursed his lips and changed his words: "One month at the latest..."

"Um?"

"Twenty... twenty days?" He Tian carefully said another number of days with a cautious expression, obviously testing Li Jinxing.

"Are you asking me or am I asking you?"

He Tian scratched his head and smiled awkwardly. He felt that nothing he said was right. "How long do you say?"

"A week at the latest."

"ah?"

Li Jinxing frowned and narrowed his eyes: "There is no way to complete it?" He released a deterrent force invisibly.

Zhou Yi came to the rescue: "It can be done."

By this time, Gu Wanqiu had not been found yet, and Li Jinxing was on the verge of losing his patience. Now that he knew where Gu Wanqiu had gone, the scope was narrowed down to one city. It would not take twenty or thirty days to find her, a week would be enough.

If you give people appropriate pressure, they will be motivated.

"The sooner you find it, the more rewards you'll get."
