The waiter looked left and right, still somewhat hesitant, before finally sitting down next to Wen Yi.
"Boss, I've heard before that Lin Zhi is being kept by someone."
Wen raised an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"
"There's a rich woman who regularly visits Lin Zhi and supports him. I heard she's good in bed!" the waiter said in a low voice.
"So what?" Wen Yi couldn't grasp the key information.
"This rich woman seems to be quite young, and Lin Zhi was with her before he disappeared, so the boss can look for clues by contacting her."
"Do you have this rich woman's contact information?" Wen Yi's eyes lit up.
"I don't have any," the waiter shook his head. "However, I can help you find a way."
"Then I'll trouble you."
After Wen finished speaking, he went to get his tablet, intending to order another batch of drinks to boost the waiter's sales, but was stopped by the waiter next to him.
“Boss, you’ve already ordered a lot, you don’t need any more. Besides, you always give me the drinks you can’t finish, which is like me reselling them to the bar and making a profit. I’ve already made more money from you than before.”
"It's okay, I have nothing but lots of money."
Wen smiled and ordered another round of drinks.
...
When Wen left the bar, it was already 2 a.m.
She only drank one glass, and as soon as she stepped outside and felt the cool breeze, the alcohol completely wore off.
There were many taxis and designated drivers outside the bar. Just as Wen Yi was about to walk towards the taxis, someone suddenly called out from behind, "Wen Yi."
Wen Yi turned around in surprise and met Gu Zeyu's gaze.
Gu Zeyu had just come out of the bar, his face slightly flushed and reeking of alcohol.
Wen Yi hasn't seen him since they last poked at each other's sore spots.
Wen Yi previously contacted Gu Zeyu to understand Gu Huaixu's situation, but now she has even less contact with Gu Zeyu.
"Have you been inside all night?" Gu Zeyu walked up to Wen Yi.
"It's getting late, I should go back."
"I'll take you," Gu Zeyu said anxiously, reaching out to grab Wen Yi.
Wen Yi glanced down, and Gu Zeyu immediately let go of her hand. "What I mean is, it's too late for a girl like you to go back alone. Besides, cars aren't allowed to go up near Yuting Garden, which will cause a lot of trouble."
"No need, thank you, Young Master Gu," Wen Yi politely declined.
"Are you still angry with me?" Gu Zeyu couldn't help but ask the question. "I was in a hurry that day and said something I didn't mean. I apologize to you."
"Young Master Gu is joking. What did you say to me?"
"You...didn't take it to heart?"
"A few insignificant words, I don't know why I should take them to heart." Wen Yi shrugged, completely unconcerned.
Indeed, that is the case.
Gu Zeyu was initially worried, thinking that Wen Yi wouldn't care and that those words were in the past, but Wen Yi's words made him seem less angry than he was.
It's just trivial talk from unimportant people, so I won't get angry.
Gu Zeyu felt extremely embarrassed to stop Wen Yi and say anything. He felt a surge of anger stuck in his chest, unable to be released or dissipated.
But as Wen Yi was about to leave, Gu Zeyu couldn't help but ask, "Don't you care at all?"
He was very unwilling to accept it. "Am I really that...insignificant to you?"
Wen looked up and met Gu Zeyu's injured eyes.
His eyes were full of affection, like those of a pure-hearted man hurt by love, but Wen Yi found it quite laughable.
“Young Master Gu, our relationship is nothing more than you almost becoming my brother-in-law and me dating your brother. I don’t think there’s anything between us that would make you ask such a question.”
"Wen Yi, you're really ruthless."
"Young Master Gu, don't deceive yourself by pretending to be deeply in love with me and wallowing in the role of someone who is hurt by love."
Wen Yi said in a clear voice, turned to leave, but Gu Zeyu suddenly changed his expression, pulled Wen Yi back, pressed her against the car body, and lowered his head to kiss her.
Wen Yi was shocked and covered her lips with her hand. As Gu Zeyu took a step further, she nudged him in the ribs with her knee. Gu Zeyu's expression changed on the spot, and Wen Yi took the opportunity to push him away.
"Young Master Gu, have some self-respect." Wen Yi was furious.
Gu Zeyu was hit in a vital spot. With so many people around, he didn't dare to make any moves that would make him look bad. He could only stay in one position, and his face looked extremely ugly.
Wen turned around and left, getting into another taxi.
There were many people around. The taxi driver who was sitting in Wenyi's car was smoking outside and was also stunned by what he had just seen.
As he got into the car, he made eye contact with a group of people behind Gu Zeyu before getting in and driving away.
Wen gave the address near the Royal Garden.
Her face darkened with anger. Looking in the rearview mirror, she saw that Gu Zeyu was still standing there, while several men in suits walked over behind him. Wen Yi then remembered that when Gu Zeyu called her, he came out with a group of people.
It was clearly a work-related social interaction.
Wen Yi rubbed her temples, too lazy to care, feeling a bit tired, and closed her eyes to rest for a while.
Sitting alone in a taxi, Wen Yi didn't dare to fall asleep. She just closed her eyes to rest for a while before opening them again. She casually glanced at the street outside and immediately realized something was wrong.
"Master, have you taken the wrong road?" Wen Yi asked warily.
The driver glanced at the rearview mirror and said, "We didn't go the wrong way; this is the shortcut."
"This is the road to Jinlu Gate. The place I need to go is in the opposite direction from Jinlu Gate," Wen Yi calmly reminded him.
The driver fell completely silent, and the car sped off.
Wen Yi immediately grabbed her phone to call the police, but the phone shut down and ran out of battery as soon as she turned it on.
Things went wrong at a crucial moment!
Wen Yi started pushing the car door in frustration, but the driver had already prepared and locked all the doors and windows, so Wen Yi couldn't jump out of the car.
"Where are you taking me?" Wen Yi questioned.
The driver sped up and ignored Wen Yi.
Wen Yi reminded him, "Master, you're going to send me to the Golden Deer Gate, right?"
The driver still ignored him.
"Because Young Master Gu just showed interest in me, you're going to give me to him as a gift, is that right?"
The driver still ignored her, but then he suddenly glanced at the rearview mirror. Wen Yi understood from that look that her guess was correct.
Wen Yi suddenly laughed.
Gu Zeyu is a real pain; nothing good ever comes from meeting him.
Wen Yi leaned back in her seat, crossed her legs, and clasped her hands over her chest, remaining silent and letting the driver drive as he pleased.
Wen Yi quieted down, which made the driver feel strange. He glanced at the rearview mirror several times and found that Wen Yi had even closed her eyes and was sleeping, which he found very odd.
"Young lady?" the driver asked.
Wen opened her eyes. "What?"
