Fu Bei pulled her down abruptly. This was the first time Fu Bei had disobeyed Song Qingyou's orders. "Madam, you can just wait here."

Song Qingyou didn't say a word, shook off his hand and continued walking upstairs.

Fu Bei stopped her again, his tone resolute: "Madam, please don't put me in a difficult position."

Song Qingyou coldly retorted, "Fu Bei! I am your boss now!"

Fu Bei said expressionlessly, "Give me one more day. If there's still no news by today, I'll definitely take you in tomorrow."

Song Qingyou tightened her grip and finally took a step back.

As the helicopter flew further and further away, Gu Bai, far away in Beijing, finally sensed that something was amiss.

Fu Wenzhou's phone was unreachable, and Song Qingyou had inexplicably disappeared in the capital.

It's been almost a month, and neither of them has shown their face. Gu Bai finds this very strange.

He first called Xu Zezhan, and then used his connections in the black market to investigate, finally learning that Fu Wenzhou had disappeared in Country Y.

That night, he and Xu Zezhan took a plane directly to Country Y.

After several twists and turns, when they finally found Song Qingyou, they almost thought they had mistaken her for someone else.

Wearing sunglasses and a heavy black coat, she stood in the desolate sandstorm, looking much thinner and like a skeleton, with no trace of life on her.

It was as if a stronger sandstorm could blow her away.

Gu Bai's heart skipped a beat, and he rushed over in a few strides, "How...how is it?"

For some reason, his voice was a little hoarse, and seeing Song Qingyou like this, he couldn't ask her any questions.

Xu Zezhan followed closely behind, "Song..."

He didn't speak, because he saw Song Qingyou take off her sunglasses, her eyes were red and swollen, full of blood vessels, and her face was as white as a ghost.

Xu Zezhan's expression darkened. He had a feeling that Song Qingyou was not quite right. Her eyes were too lifeless, like a soulless shell.

Even when they saw them coming, they didn't react in the slightest.

He simply said in a very faint voice, "We haven't found it yet."

Gu Bai was about to say something when Xu Zezhan stopped him. He glanced at Song Qingyou and said, "I've already asked my friends here to investigate. We'll have news soon. Your method of searching won't work. We need to work with the local police."

Gu Bai said, "Yes, there's strength in numbers."

Song Qingyou shook her head: "He bought guns; the local government can't find out."

Since they were able to find this place, it means they already know about Fu Wenzhou's affairs, so Song Qingyou has nothing to hide anymore.

Xu Zezhan remained silent; Gu Bai hadn't told him about this.

After a moment, he said, "I understand. I'll find some retired mercenaries to go in and search. You come back to the hotel with us first."

They were more anxious than anyone else about Fu Wenzhou's accident, but right now, Song Qingyou's situation was even more critical. If things continued like this, Xu Zezhan was really afraid that she would collapse before Fu Wenzhou was found.

Song Qingyou put her sunglasses back on, neither replying nor making any move.

Seeing that she remained unmoved, Xu Zezhan took a deep breath and said, "Do you want him to see you like this when he comes back? Song Qingyou, you should look in the mirror and see what a mess you've become."

Song Qingyou's expression finally changed slightly; she frowned.

Gu Bai hurriedly said, "We're here. You don't have to carry this alone anymore. Trust us, okay? Besides, Wenzhou wouldn't want to see you like this."

Song Qingyou seemed to have thought about it for a long time, but then hesitated for only a few seconds: "Let's go back."

They're right, Fu Wenzhou wouldn't like someone like her.

She needs to go back and tidy herself up, otherwise what if he comes back and sees that she's become ugly and doesn't like her anymore?
