Chapter 196 Sudden Blood Attacks the Heart

"Yes." The two people who were called followed closely behind Gu Nan.

He also had his own considerations. In this dangerous period, he naturally had to be on high alert. If he really encountered any danger, he wouldn't be able to fight effectively and could only be a gofer.

Si Yanxiao knew he couldn't fight off four opponents with his bare hands, so he might as well call a few more just in case.

When Gu Nan arrived at her destination, she saw Si Yanxiao's car parked there from afar, and then got out of the car to meet him.

The two men accompanying him were startled when they saw Si Yanxiao, and quickly greeted him respectfully, "President Si."

Si Yanxiao nodded slightly, then looked at Gu Nan without asking any further questions.

Gu Nan took the initiative to explain, "Just in case."

The two bodyguards were unaware of what had happened earlier, so they looked completely confused when Gu Nan said that. Si Yanxiao, however, immediately understood, nodded, and replied in a low voice, "Okay, let's go."

The group of four headed towards the address indicated on the IP address, which, according to the precise location they found, was one of the households in this residential building.

Si Yanxiao and his group arrived at the door and gently knocked on it with slightly bent fingers, but no one answered.

Si Yanxiao knocked twice more, and the door creaked open.

Seeing this, Si Yanxiao turned and exchanged a glance with Gu Nan. Gu Nan also looked puzzled, and then said softly, "The door is ajar."

"Hmm." Si Yanxiao frowned slightly, nodded, pushed open the door, and went inside, only to find it empty.

The house was deserted and lacked any sign of life.

Si Yanxiao glanced around and suddenly noticed a piece of clothing on the sofa. His eyes sharpened, and he quickly stepped forward, picked up the clothing, his expression unreadable.

Seeing that he looked strange, Gu Nan quickly approached and asked, "What's wrong?"

Si Yanxiao's lips tightened into a straight line as he replied in a deep voice, "These are her clothes."

"What?!"

Without Si Yanxiao needing to say anything more, Gu Nan instantly understood who the "she" he was referring to was, and a look of surprise immediately appeared on her face.

Surprised, she quickly asked, "Many people own the same clothes, how can you be so sure this one is hers?"

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression hardened slightly, and he replied in a deep voice, "This was custom-made by Ancdo himself; it's one of a kind, and only one of its kind."

Hearing Si Yanxiao's explanation, Gu Nan couldn't help but frown. She picked up the clothes in his hand and looked at them closely. Sure enough, she saw the unique logo of ANCDO on the collar.

She was a renowned international fashion designer. Later, her design concepts caught the eye of Si Yanxiao, who specially hired her to design for him.

Unexpectedly, it ended up becoming a marker for finding people.

Realizing this, a look of shock flashed across Gu Nan's face: "So..."

"Is this the place she used to be?"

"Hmm," Si Yanxiao replied in a deep voice, his eyes full of certainty.

My mind was racing with thoughts. I felt that everything before me, though seemingly unrelated, had something in common.

The investigation into the previous assassination attempt is still ongoing, and now this has happened again.

Isn't that a bit too much of a coincidence!

Thinking of this, a sudden flash of inspiration struck Si Yanxiao. Because of his concern for Bai Zhuwei, he hadn't connected the two things, but now he suddenly noticed something unusual.

Bai Zhuwei always seems to appear around the time of an incident, as if she deliberately throws out a pretext to confuse her own thoughts.

The same thing is happening now. Jiang Ran and Jiang Yuechen have appeared one after another. Just when I thought I had discovered another clue, there was another commotion here.

Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao frowned deeply, and a sinister glint flashed in his eyes.

Seeing this, Gu Nan quickly said, "Then now..."

Si Yanxiao's face darkened, and he coldly ordered, "Investigate!"

"Okay." Gu Nan replied in a low voice, and not only Si Yanxiao, but also a hint of anger flashed across his face.

This happened time and time again, as if they were deliberately fooling them, only to have all the clues wiped out when they were investigated afterwards.

Are you really going to treat them like monkeys on a leash?!

The two bodyguards behind them, unaware of the situation, were astonished at the sight, wondering why Si Yanxiao and Gu Nan had suddenly become so angry.

Si Yanxiao's eyes turned cold. He clenched his clothes tightly in his hands, his brows furrowed. He glanced up unintentionally and suddenly saw a familiar figure downstairs.

Startled, he hurriedly followed him out. Gu Nan, seeing his sudden drastic action, looked puzzled but also followed closely behind.

Si Yanxiao ran outside, and when he got downstairs, he looked around frantically, but he could no longer see the person.

Gu Nan followed behind, panting, and asked in confusion, "What's wrong?"

Si Yanxiao frowned, a cold glint flashing in his eyes, and said in a cold voice, "I think I saw her."

"Seems like it?" Gu Nan frowned slightly upon hearing this, then looked around and said, "You must be mistaken. How could that be?"

Si Yanxiao pursed his lips and remained silent, a hint of hesitation creeping into his heart.

Was I just too impatient and my eyes were playing tricks on me?!

But the same thing happened before, is it really just a coincidence?

Si Yanxiao lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought. After hesitating for a moment, he looked up and said in a deep voice, "No matter what, let's investigate first."

"Go to the property management office and retrieve all the surveillance footage from the vicinity."

After saying that, he walked straight toward the property management office, and Gu Nan had no choice but to follow behind him.

Upon hearing their purpose, the property manager looked troubled and slowly explained, "This area is an old neighborhood, and security is inadequate. The surveillance cameras were installed a long time ago, and I'm afraid most of them are broken."

"Moreover, many places are blind spots for surveillance, so..."

Although the words were not fully stated, the implied meaning was already quite clear.

They practically had it written all over their faces that they couldn't find anything and that the surveillance footage was useless.

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's face immediately flashed with displeasure, and he coldly questioned, "The community property management doesn't even have surveillance cameras. Are you that irresponsible?! Is this how you guarantee the safety of the residents?"

The property management company was suddenly accused and looked apologetic, but still patiently explained, "This area has been included in the demolition relocation area, and the residents here don't have much to live in, so it won't cause any impact."

Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's face darkened, and he was about to reprimand him sternly when Gu Nan quickly reached out and pulled him back, whispering, "What does this have to do with them? Getting angry won't help."

"This location was clearly chosen intentionally by the people behind the scenes to make it impossible for you to investigate."

Listening to Gu Nan's explanation, Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly. He understood the reasoning, but he just couldn't control his emotions.

After all, the investigation had progressed to this point, and it was just one step away...

He was just one step away from seeing the person he longed for day and night, but each time he was stopped by some unexpected accident.

Seeing his unpleasant expression, Gu Nan understood his indignation. She sighed softly, patted his shoulder gently, and said soothingly, "Alright, there's no use staying here. Let's go back and discuss it further."

Si Yanxiao's expression was inscrutable, but he remained silent.

Seeing this, Gu Nan reached out and gently tugged at him, but he swayed and suddenly fell to the ground.

Gu Nan's expression changed, and she quickly helped him up. The bodyguard was startled and hurriedly stepped forward to help him.

Si Yanxiao's eyes were closed, a hint of exhaustion flashed between his brows, and his face was pale, indicating that he had already fainted.

Gu Nan hurriedly instructed the bodyguard to carry him to the car and rushed to the hospital.

Unfortunately, they ran into Jiang Ran right at the entrance of the emergency room. Si Zuochen and Si Youlin had just left because of class.

Seeing Si Yanxiao being pushed in on the flatbed cart, Jiang Ran was startled and asked in surprise, "Wasn't he fine just now? What happened?"

Gu Nan frowned slightly and briefly explained the situation. Jiang Ran listened attentively, which only strengthened her suspicions.

I had always felt that these things were inextricably linked to Bai Zhuwei, and now it seems that my guess was probably correct.

Otherwise, how could she always appear so promptly?

However, she didn't show it on her face. Seeing Gu Nan's anxious expression, Jiang Ran pursed her lips and slowly comforted him, "Don't worry too much. He just had a moment of panic."

As soon as she finished speaking, the emergency room door opened from the inside, and Jiang Yuechen was pushed out. Jiang Ran hurriedly stepped forward and saw that apart from his pale face, he was otherwise unharmed, which reassured her.

Seeing that Jiang Ran had other important matters to attend to, Gu Nan took the initiative to say, "It's alright, I can handle things here. You go and take care of him first."
