Born weak, Nan Qiao lived in trepidation for 20 years but still couldn't make it past her twenties.
Later, a system claiming to be a "face-con" (someone obsessed with beauty) save...
Chapter 80 The Vicious Female Supporting Character's Charming Sister 13
"How's it going? Any news?" Zuo Yan asked anxiously, holding a cigarette to refresh himself. Dark circles appeared under his eyes as he looked at the man strolling towards him.
Gu Zhuo shook his head. "The restaurant's surveillance cameras were destroyed a long time ago. They didn't capture anything."
Chu Xiao: "What about the surveillance footage in the attached area? It didn't capture anything either."
"We've retrieved all nearby surveillance cameras and reviewed them three times, but found nothing unusual."
"Has the waiter who bumped into Qiao Qiao been found out?"
"We sent someone to check her background, but nothing unusual was found. She just said there were a lot of people in the store at the time, and someone bumped into her, which is why she bumped into Qiao Qiao."
"But the person who touched her can't be found."
Zuo Yan's voice was a little heavy: "Without the store's surveillance, and with so many people coming and going, it's really hard to find out."
"Have you received any information from the Su family?"
If a ransom message is received, it proves that the kidnappers are after money. If no ransom message is received, it only proves that the kidnappers are after people...
Gu Zhuo closed his eyes and shook his head. The Su family indeed did not receive any information.
So obviously, this is aimed at people.
Deathly silence spread among the three of them. Zuo Yan tried hard to suppress his inner anxiety and calmly and carefully recalled all the traces.
“How do they know which store they’re going to go to?”
The surveillance footage that was destroyed in advance showed that the kidnapping was premeditated. So how could the other party be so sure that they would go to this store?
Gu Zhuo frowned slightly: "I'll call Nan Yuan and ask."
The call was quickly connected, and Gu Nanyuan on the other end asked anxiously: "Brother, is there any news about my sister?"
Her sister had been missing for a whole day, and Gu Nanyuan was almost going crazy. Receiving a call from her brother at this time was like grabbing the last straw.
Gu Zhuo turned on the speaker and said in a gentle and steady tone, "Don't panic."
"Let me ask you, did you choose that restaurant yourself or was it recommended by someone else? Who else knew you were going to that restaurant?"
Gu Zhuo's calm voice soothed Gu Nanyuan's mood very well. Gu Nanyuan held the phone tightly, trying to suppress her inner worries and recall.
"It wasn't recommended by anyone, I saw it on my phone and decided to go."
"Who else knows...? I haven't told anyone else at school... Oh! I remember I called my mom the day before and mentioned it!"
"...There probably aren't any other people."
Gu Nanyuan tried hard to recall and said in a very affirmative tone.
Gu Zhuo frowned. "Are you sure it's just Mom? When did you call?"
Gu Nanyuan said affirmatively: "Yes! It was around six o'clock in the evening. People should have been having dinner at home at that time. I also heard Gu Yao's voice."
Gu Zhuo frowned: "Okay, I understand."
"Whose phone call did you receive during dinner?"
Gu Nanyuan: "It's Qi Sheng."
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zhuo's expression darkened. He glanced at the two men in front of him and said in a deep voice, "I think I need to go home. Please pay attention to the news."
"We need to send someone to keep an eye on Qi Sheng. He's been missing for over 24 hours. We can call the police."
......
The next morning, Mu Chen brought a carefully prepared breakfast into the room. Looking at the girl who was completely awake in the bed, he had a loving smile on his face.
"Get up, go wash up, and then you can have breakfast."
Nan Qiao looked at the man in front of her who was taking care of her as if nothing had happened, and was full of confusion.
The doors and windows were tightly locked, and there was no sun or moon. She was trapped in this room all day and could only tell the time by relying on her watch.
It's been two days...
This man did not do any harm to her. He provided her with good food and drink every day. He just looked at her every day and had to hug her to sleep at night.
What a strange person...
The girl couldn't help herself: "Why did you trap me here?"
"Are you planning to kidnap me and get the Su family's ransom?"
Otherwise, she really couldn't understand the meaning of the other party's actions.
ransom?
Mu Chen murmured these two words with interest, put down the tray in his hand, walked to the girl's side, picked her up and walked towards the bathroom step by step.
She is a priceless treasure to him, how can she be redeemed with money?
His face was a little pale, and he said with a smile: "I don't want a ransom, I just want to see you."
This thought was engraved in her mind like a spell after she met the girl once.
He wants to see her.
Even if he had only his last breath left, he wanted to see her.
Desire was like wild weeds growing wildly, constantly spreading in her heart.
But his time is running out, and there are always other people around the girl who prevent him from getting close.
He had no other choice but to resort to this desperate measure.
She must have been scared by herself.
Mu Chen was a little stunned, and even the smile on his face was a little bitter.
The girl nestled in the man's arms slowly raised her head and looked at his handsome face, somewhat confused.
The other person was clearly smiling, but for some reason, I felt a sense of sadness...
How strange.
Sitting down at the dining table, Nan Qiao looked at the breakfast on the table. There were all kinds of Chinese and Western food, almost filling the entire table.
Mu Chen seemed not to notice the girl's silence. After putting the girl down, he sat down next to her, holding his chin with his hand, and looked at her with a smile.
It seemed like he just wanted to enjoy watching the girl eat.
Nan Qiao, who had become somewhat accustomed to the other party's behavior in the past two days, remained calm. Even under the man's scorching gaze, she remained unmoved. She picked up a bowl of porridge and started drinking it.
No matter what the other party was thinking, she had to maintain her strength in order to escape from this place.
"Can I draw you a picture?"
A sudden voice sounded, and Nan Qiao paused in eating. Then she looked up at the man beside her, her voice soft and helpless.
"Do I have the right to refuse?"
Mu Chen still smiled: "Of course, if you don't want me to, then I won't draw it."
Nan Qiao fell silent again, but the look in her eyes as she looked at the man in front of her became increasingly strange.
"I can paint, but after I'm done, can you... let me go home?"
Nan Qiao asked hesitantly.
Although they had only been together for two days, she was sensitive enough to realize that the other party had no ill will towards her.
"I've been missing for almost three days. My family will be worried."
The smile on Mu Chen's lips faded a little at some point, and his eyes stared at the girl in front of him motionlessly.
The girl still seemed a little scared, her lips slightly pursed and her eyes full of color.
A strange pain arose in his heart, and there was a hint of bitterness on the corners of Mu Chen's lips, but he finally agreed.
"Okay, after you finish painting, I'll take you home."
Nan Qiao, who thought the other party would not agree, was delighted and even her voice was filled with joy:
"Then you can draw now."
Finish painting earlier so she can go home earlier!
Mu Chen laughed, and looking at the girl who looked obviously happier, the discomfort in his heart also faded a lot.
That's it.
Now that he has seen the person he has been thinking about, he should be satisfied.
He turned and went downstairs, ignoring his subordinates who were coming towards him with worried eyes, took out the drawing paper and brushes from his studio, and went upstairs.
It can be seen that he has good painting skills. Soon, a painting that looks like a photo was created by his pen.
The girl on the white paper had a bright and cheerful smile, her hair cascading over her shoulders. She looked at the person in front of her like a lover, her eyes full of affection.
Mu Chen looked at the painting, pondered for a moment, picked up the painting, and turned it around as if for display.
"Qiao Qiao, does it look good?"
Nan Qiao was a little confused by his address, and then looked at the paintings in front of her that seemed both strange and familiar, and for a moment she didn't know how to respond.
No matter how you answer such a question, it seems wrong.
and......
The girl in the painting looked exactly like me, except for her expression filled with love...
Nan Qiao frowned slightly, as if he was different from himself.
The girl, full of resentment, glanced at the man with a satisfied look on his face, but did not answer.
Seeing that the girl didn't answer, Mu Chen raised his eyebrows: "Isn't it pretty?"
It's not bad looking, but it's a little bit unrealistic.
The girl was a little hesitant, but she still said honestly: "It looks good, you draw very well."
She also learned to paint when she was bored at home. This painting as a whole is indeed very outstanding in terms of composition, color and painting techniques.
Mu Chen smiled broadly: "Thank you Qiao Qiao for the compliment."
Nan Qiao quickly put aside her worries. Seeing that the man seemed to be in a good mood, she asked cautiously, "So... when are you going to take me home?"
The painting is finished, it's time to send her back.
The girl said this very softly, but it was like tapping bubbles to completely shatter the beautiful dream that Mu Chen had been in for the past two days.
Mu Chen's grip on the drawing paper tightened slightly, and the smile on his lips faded a little.
Yes, he promised her to send her back.
He didn't want to be seen as a man who broke his promise in her heart.
"Okay, you take a rest first. After lunch, I'll take you back."
Nan Qiao wanted to go back immediately, but was stopped by the other party when he was about to say it.
"...Have lunch with me." He was pale and looked a little sick, his eyes staring eagerly.
Nan Qiao did not show any mercy. In her mind, the other party was a kidnapper no matter what. Even if he acted innocent, it could not eliminate her disgust.
Looking at the girl's slightly cold face, Mu Chen's eyes darkened, but he didn't say anything more. Instead, he took the painting in his hand and went downstairs.
Returning to the studio where servants were not allowed to enter, he looked at the paintings hanging on the walls for a while, and then hung up his own painting.
The walls were covered with drawing papers, and each piece of paper depicted the figure of the same girl.
A hint of reluctance flashed across Mu Chen's eyes, and then he became determined again.
He took out his cell phone and made a call.
"Schedule surgery for me..."
No matter what, he wants to give it a try.
