As the long-lost son of the Lu family in Jiangzhou, Lu Yi originally thought this was heaven's favor upon him, but the truth was far from it.
Seventeen years of destitution did not earn h...
Hearing what he meant, Liang Shiyue hadn't actually gone to see him at all. Thinking of how sullen she'd been these past few days, Liang's mother immediately gasped in surprise.
"Lu Yi, I've heard her crying in the middle of the night, and she even hid in the bathroom to send voice messages to someone..."
"Oh no, what if Xiaoyue was lured out by some bad guy... It's all my fault, I shouldn't have pressured her!"
As she spoke, Liang's mother felt a lump in her throat and couldn't help but cry.
“Lu Yi, what should we do? She’s never been like this before. She would always tell me where she wanted to go or what she was thinking…”
At this moment, Liang's mother was completely different from when she was nitpicking before. Her legs were weak and she was so flustered that she couldn't even stand up.
Liang Shiyue is her lifeblood.
It was also the only memento her husband left her.
Actually, houses and property weren't that important to her; she just really wanted to help Liang Shiyue make arrangements for the rest of her life.
Her excessive desire to control her daughter led her to become trapped in the "I'm doing this for your own good" rhetoric.
Even though Liang Shiyue was missing, she only thought it was because her daughter was naughty, without truly understanding the root of the problem.
Lu Yi frowned and comforted her, "Auntie, please stay in the hotel and don't go anywhere. Wait for my call, okay?"
"If Xiaoyue comes back, remember to call me and I'll come find her right now..."
"Lu Yi, come here! Everyone's waiting for you to take a picture!"
Gu Keke ran over excitedly and grabbed his arm.
Seeing his gloomy expression, she timidly withdrew her hand. "What happened?"
Lu Yi took the phone away from his ear, his voice trembling, "I have something to do, you guys go and film!"
Gu Huaibei and Fan Huijun were chatting when they saw the situation and hurriedly came over.
“Lu Yi…”
"What's wrong?"
Gu Huainan followed closely behind, his smile gradually freezing on his face. "Why isn't anyone taking pictures anymore?"
Lu Yi clenched his fists, "Xiao Yue is gone!"
He briefly mentioned the time when Liang Shiyue went missing, only mentioning the general reason briefly without going into details.
In short, everyone has figured it out.
Liang Shiyue's phone is switched off, she is not at the hotel, and she is currently out of contact.
Fan Huijun stepped forward and patted him on the back, "Don't be nervous, she's with her mother, they should be at the hotel."
“Alright, we’ll split into two groups, no, three groups… Huainan, you go back to the hotel and check the security footage. Huaibei and I will drive along the streets to search. Lu Yi, you go to Fengcheng University…”
She was just as nervous, but her mind was unusually clear.
Without hesitation, the three Gu siblings glanced at the surging crowd in front of the elevator, patted Lu Yi's arm, and strode downstairs.
Gu Keke grabbed Lu Yi's arm. "Lu Yi, I'll go to Fengda with you. I know people at the school. It'll be easier if we get them to help us search."
Under Fan Huijun's influence, Gu Keke suppressed her girlish emotions and showed a composure that was beyond her years.
"Let's split up! Quickly!"
Gu Huaibei pulled Fan Huijun downstairs and got into the car.
Looking puzzled, he asked, "Why didn't you suggest calling the police first?"
Fan Huijun looked carefully at his slender eyebrows and eyes. "In Huaibei, what is the most important thing for a girl? Although I am reluctant to admit it, no one can afford to be dishonest or have a bad reputation."
“These past few days, Liang’s mother has been interfering in their relationship, and Liang Shiyue has been feeling very down.”
"She's a good girl, unlike Coco who's so lively, or Lin Xiaoya who's now been adopted by a powerful father."
“Once a well-behaved girl wakes up and completely overturns her former self, she might do things that are hard for ordinary people to understand. I’m worried…”
She found it difficult to say what came next.
"Okay, I understand..."
Gu Huaibei patted her head. "Don't worry, Xiaoyue grew up in that kind of family. No matter what she does, she will definitely consider her mother's feelings."
Gu Keke insisted on driving there.
But whether I was confused or genuinely forgot, I walked around the parking area but couldn't find my car.
Time was of the essence, so Lu Yi told her to go back first.
I want to hail a taxi on the street...
Just then, Du Guanglong rushed over in a great hurry.
"Third brother, President Huo is waiting for you, why are you leaving?"
Gu Keke didn't like Du Guanglong's appearance, but she couldn't say she hated him either, because he was Lu Yi's sworn brother and someone who cared about Lu Yi.
"Oh dear, we can go see Master Huo anytime, but the important thing right now is Sister Xiaoyue, she's gone!"
Upon hearing this, Du Guanglong suddenly looked at Lu Yi.
Lu Yi nodded. "Please tell President Huo that I will visit him again to seek his advice when I have the chance. I have never heard what he said before, and I have benefited greatly from it."
Du Guanglong tossed away his cigarette butt and turned around, saying, "Dongzi, car keys!"
Dongzi, confused, stared wide-eyed and said, "Brother Long, I'm Third Brother's bodyguard, I'll go with him!"
Du Guanglong took the key.
"Go back and tell President Huo that the third brother has something extremely important, more important than his own life, and I'll go with him!"
"Dongzi, you and the brothers are in charge today. There can't be any mistakes!"
Dongzi hesitated for a moment, then nodded solemnly and ran into the building.
"Get in the car!"
Du Guanglong swung his arm and opened the car door.
“Brother, you are currently employed by President Huo, and it's not appropriate for you to leave your post because of my personal matters…”
"What's wrong with that? My life was given to me by Lao Lu, and your matter is more important than my life!"
Du Guanglong lifted his leg and was about to sit in the driver's seat when his body suddenly tilted to the side, and he was pulled out by the arm.
"Driving is my profession, Brother Long, you sit over there!"
Before I knew it, Old Wang arrived too.
Just as Du Guanglong was about to say something, Old Wang's attitude also hardened, "Finding the person is the priority, stop with the 'you' and 'me' talk..."
The car hummed and sped away.
"Did he really say that?"
Huo Xiao stood in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, gazing in the direction the car had gone, his voice devoid of any emotion.
Dongzi clasped his hands in front of him and bowed his head, saying, "Yes."
"Hmph, he's quite the loyal one!"
Huo Xiao, sitting in a wheelchair, with his meticulously combed white hair, put immense pressure on Dongzi.
He knew he couldn't replace Du Guanglong.
We can only grit our teeth and stubbornly endure it here.
"Wait, what exactly happened that even the Gu and Fan families have been mobilized?"
Huo Xiao turned his head, his face full of curiosity.
At that moment, he was like a playful old man, and the slight childlike innocence in his eyes made his oppressive aura disappear instantly, allowing Dongzi to take a breath of relief.
"It's Third Brother... Young Master Lu's girlfriend has gone missing."
Huo Xiao narrowed his eyes. "Your girlfriend has gone missing? Come here and tell me in detail what happened."
Dongzi stammered and incoherently managed to get his words out.
Huo Xiao pursed his lips, hesitated for a long time, and then called his secretary over.
"Contact the boss and ask him to help find this person. Tell him that this person is very important and that he must find him no matter what it takes!"
