Chapter 496: The Wu Family in London
During dinner, Gu Jianguo suggested hiring a few bodyguards; he was genuinely worried about what might happen next. No one objected, and Ye Chi suggested they look for someone from the retiring military, so they could get a good idea of their character and abilities.
"Let's find five," Gu Jianguo said to Ye Chi, "one for each of the four sisters and your mother."
Although Gu Siqing felt that it would be troublesome to have someone always around her, she didn't object. In fact, the public security in China during this era couldn't be compared to what it would be like in the future. Many major crimes that shocked the nation occurred in the 1990s.
The next day, Gu Siqing was going to school, and Han Zhengping came to pick her up early. The two went to school together, entered the classroom together, and attracted the attention of the whole class again.
The two found a place to sit down. After a while, Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu came over and asked her where she went after school the day before yesterday. They were quite worried.
"On my way home from school, I was hit by a car and was sent to the hospital. I didn't have time to tell my family." Gu Siqing lied. It's better not to tell anyone about being kidnapped.
"Ah? Is it serious?"
Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu were both very nervous. Gu Siqing quickly said, "It's not serious. I just hit my head on the ground and fainted. My hands were also scratched."
"Why don't you take a few more days off?" Hu Jiajia looked worried, and Song Miaozhu also said, "That's right."
"It's not serious. It's boring staying at home." Gu Siqing said.
The three of them chatted for a few more minutes, and as class was about to start, Hu Jiajia and Song Miaozhu returned to their seats.
After the morning class ended, she met the department head when going downstairs. Gu Siqing explained to him what happened after school the day before yesterday. Her account was the same as Hu Jiajia's, and the department head also expressed his concern for her.
Han Zhengping accompanied Gu Siqing to school for three days before leaving the country again, along with Xu Yusen. When they arrived in London, they went directly to Xu Yusen's home.
After sitting down, Xu Yusen poured Han Zhengping a glass of water and handed him a cigarette. Seeing that he lit it skillfully and took two puffs, he said, "I thought you didn't smoke."
"I smoke two when I'm upset." Han Zhengping bit the cigarette, his brows slightly furrowed. His temperament was no longer as clear as before, but with a hint of evil.
Xu Yusen asked him with a smile, "Does Gu Xiaosi know that you smoke?"
Han Zhengping glanced at him and said, "How about I tell San Jing everything about you?"
Xu Yusen shrugged, "Forget it."
There are some things about men that cannot be told to women, even childhood sweethearts like Han Zhengping and Gu Siqing are the same.
"You have a car here, right?" Han Zhengping talked to him about business.
"Yes, what are you going to do?" Xu Yusen's expression also became serious.
Han Zhengping took a puff of his cigarette and said, "Let's find her first. She will probably go to the Wu family here."
"Do you know where the Wu family lives here?" Xu Yusen asked.
Han Zhengping: "I know."
The last time I investigated Wu Qianyi's graduation thesis for plagiarism, I also looked into the general situation of the Wu family here.
After the matter was settled, the two of them had a quick bite to eat and then went to rest. The next day, Xu Yusen went to do his work while Han Zhengping drove to Wu's house.
The Wu family in London immigrated from China during the war years and, after decades of development, have done well here. The Wu family villa is in a wealthy area of London. Han Zhengping parked his car not far from the Wu family villa.
Han Zhengping took out a cigarette and lit it, then stared at the gate of the Wu family villa. From the moment he learned about Xiao Si's accident, the anger in his heart had never subsided. He couldn't imagine what the outcome would have been if Xiao Si hadn't been so clever.
Maybe he will go crazy and make everyone in the Wu family live a life worse than death.
Time passed minute by minute. In the morning, some people went out and some came in from the Wu family, but there was no sign of Wu Qianyi. Han Zhengping did not wait any longer, but walked over and knocked on the Wu family's door. After waiting for a while, a Filipino maid came to open the door.
Han Zhengping told her in English: "My surname is Su, my grandfather is Su Mingchang, and I want to visit your master."
The maid glanced at him, said she was going to report, and then closed the door and left. A moment later, a man in his forties came over, looked him up and down, and said with a smile, "You look a lot like your grandfather. Come in."
His name is Wu Zhiyuan, and he is Wu Zhihe's cousin in terms of seniority.
Han Zhengping followed him into the living room with a smile on his face, and the two sat down and exchanged pleasantries. Han Zhengping spoke and behaved like a young man from an aristocratic family, and Wu Zhiyuan had a good impression of him.
After the greetings, Wu Zhiyuan asked, "What brings you here today, nephew?"
The Wu family and the Su family had contacts with each other for generations, and they could be considered old friends, so Wu Zhiyuan could still be called nephew.
From the conversation, Han Zhengping guessed that Wu Zhiyuan probably didn't know Wu Zhihe was in prison, and that he had some connection with him. He smiled and said, "A few days ago, my father told me that Uncle Wu in Kyoto had some problems, and I'm a little worried about Qianyi."
"You and Qianyi"
"I met her when I went home for the New Year last year." Han Zhengping said this with a hint of shyness. Wu Zhiyuan instantly "understood" and said, "Qianyi just came back a few days ago. I asked her to stay at home, but she insisted on living outside. I'll give you the address."
Wu Zhiyuan stood up, took a pen and paper, and wrote down Wu Qianyi's address on it. In fact, the truth was that Wu Qianyi wanted to live here, but his wife didn't want to, so Wu Qianyi had to rent a house outside.
Han Zhengping got the address, chatted with Wu Zhiyuan for a while, and then said goodbye. As soon as he left the Wu family's house, the smile on his face disappeared. He hated everyone who had anything to do with Wu Qianyi.
