On the phone, Xu Zheng briefly explained the situation.
Bai Lu woke up just as the plane was about to land, a little earlier than Xu Zheng expected. After learning that she had arrived in Country M, Bai Lu was very cooperative with Xu Zheng and did not make any noise or fuss.
As soon as they left the airport, Bai Lu suddenly said she was going to the bathroom and never came back.
"I've been waiting outside for a long time, but no one came out. Then I realized something was wrong. The people you arranged have searched the entire airport, but still can't find them."
"Where are her IDs?"
"I still have the documents."
Tang Jingyuan breathed a sigh of relief. "She doesn't have any ID, so she can't get far. Doctor Xu, why don't you go back to where you live first? I'll arrange for someone to look for her. Sorry for the trouble!"
"I'm the one who should be apologizing. I promised to take good care of the person for you, but I ended up losing him right after arriving. I'll also help find a solution here!"
After hanging up the phone, Tang Jingyuan took a deep breath and didn't speak for a long time.
I expected Bai Lu to be restless, but I didn't expect her to get rid of Xu Zheng as soon as she arrived at the airport. It seemed that the psychological problem did not affect her mind.
Tang Jingyuan then made a few phone calls, arranged things abroad, and brought Lu Anning back to the dining table.
"continue?"
Lu Anning's mind hadn't come to his senses yet, and he stared blankly at Tang Jingyuan.
"Aren't you anxious?"
Lu Anning originally thought that Tang Jingyuan would be worried if Bai Lu disappeared, and might even go looking for her himself.
"Who is Bai Lu to me? I've taken care of her until now, and I've already done enough. Arranging for her to go to Country M to start a new life was my last act of kindness towards her. If she refused to accept it and insisted on escaping, it was her own choice. Every adult should be responsible for their own actions. Her life is her own."
Tang Jingyuan seemed to have suddenly come to his senses. Bai Lu ran away by herself, and he only did what he could.
News from abroad showed that Bai Lu still hadn't been seen, so Tang Jingyuan didn't press her any further. She didn't even have her ID with her, so if she couldn't make ends meet, she would naturally go find Xu Zheng.
Maybe Bai Lu deliberately avoided it, as if she had suddenly disappeared from the face of the earth. Not only did the people arranged by Tang Jingyuan have no news, even the foreign police could not find the person Bai Lu had left for a long time.
Xu Zheng had his own things to do, so he could only maintain contact with the foreign police and inform each other once there was any news.
Lu Anning looked at Tang Jingyuan, who seemed to be doing just fine, and felt as if she had just had a long nightmare. Now, she finally woke up from the nightmare.
Gu Yue pretended to ask about Bai Lu unintentionally. When he heard that she had run away, a satisfied smile appeared between his eyebrows.
"She's sensible."
While drinking soup, Gu Yue complained about Tang Jingyuan's previous protection of Bai Lu.
Lu Anning listened, stopped what he was doing and looked at him, and Gu Yue also stopped.
"Not drinking anymore?"
Lu Anning shook his head: "Brother, don't you think you've been coming to my place too often recently?"
Although Gu Yue brought lunch with him, Lu Anning felt that his office was almost becoming Gu Yue's restaurant.
Could it be that the Gu family doesn’t have a restaurant?
"Is there a problem with fostering brother-sister relationships?"
He didn't even think it was troublesome, but this girl actually complained that he came here too often.
Lu Anning smiled awkwardly. It wasn't that she disliked him, but Gu Yue came over almost every day, so she didn't even have time to have lunch with Tang Jingyuan.
Ever since they had dinner together, Gu Yue would come over every time, either taking her out to dinner or bringing food to eat with her. Lu Anning felt that her face had become a lot rounder recently.
She was thinking of a way to get Gu Yue to take her out to dinner less often when Gu Yue suddenly dropped a message.
"Dad's birthday is next week. Don't forget the birthday party."
Happy birthday!
"A big event?"
Gu Yue thought for a moment and said, "Dad doesn't want to have a big party, but considering the social connections, he said he'd just invite some close friends, so I guess there won't be too few people."
Moreover, they should all be important figures with prominent status!
Lu An Ning could guess what the scene was like without even thinking. Now that her identity was revealed, she had no choice but to attend the birthday party.
Lu Anning didn't have much feeling for this biological father, who was more like a stranger with blood ties. Gu Yue said this, and Lu Anning listened to it. He went back to discuss with Tang Jingyuan and prepare a suitable gift to bring.
His father's birthday party was indeed not a grand affair as Gu Yue said, but Lu Anning, sitting in the office, began to receive calls from clients, all asking about his father's birthday party. Some even sent birthday gifts directly to Lu Anning.
When Lu Anning saw the birthday gifts piled up like a mountain in the office early in the morning, he felt his head buzzing.
Are all businessmen in Beijing like this?
Lu Anning took a casual look and found that she didn't even know who some of the names belonged to.
"Zhong Ling, find someone to return all these things. From now on, we won't accept gift boxes from unknown sources."
Lu Anning understood that these people simply wanted to use the opportunity to show their faces in front of her father. If they could be remembered, they might even be able to cooperate with the Gu family. Moreover, the four sons of the Gu family were outstanding, but all were still single. Many celebrities and wealthy women were eyeing them, just waiting for such an opportunity to get close to one or two of them. Who knows, they might be noticed and their marriage would come, wouldn't it?
So, before the birthday party even started, people in the circle were already asking about it, waiting for an opportunity, hoping to squeeze in.
It was also at this time that Lu Anning heard Gu Yue inadvertently mention that this time, her mysterious fourth brother who had never appeared seemed to be coming back.
