Shi Heng's fingers tightened suddenly, and his knuckles turned white from the force.
He walked quickly to the window and pulled open the curtains. The flashing police lights on Third Avenue in the distance were particularly dazzling in the night.
My heart skipped a beat.
He ordered in a deep voice on the phone: "Mobilize all manpower and find out the whereabouts of these two people as soon as possible."
There was overwhelming anger in his voice.
Hang up the phone.
The only sound in the ward was the beeping of the instruments.
Gu Youran was still sleeping quietly, breathing shallowly, and his pale face looked particularly fragile.
Suddenly, the tablet on the bedside table lit up automatically and a video popped up.
Shi Heng picked it up and opened it. In the video, three police cars were severely deformed and twelve police officers were lying in a pool of blood.
And in the center of the picture, a diamond-studded high-heeled shoe lies alone in the middle of the road.
That was the same outfit Mu Xuewei wore at her engagement party tonight.
“Damn it!”
Shi Heng punched the window frame, causing the glass to vibrate and hum.
He stared at the surveillance screen, cold anger surging in his eyes.
I thought that after Chu Beiyuan and Mu Xuewei were imprisoned, they would never be able to turn their lives around.
But who could have thought that someone would dare to take action during the escort!
He took a deep breath, forced down the murderous intent that was boiling within him, and turned to sit in front of the bed.
Shi Heng picked up the beauty cream on the bedside table, put a little on his fingertips, and applied it on Gu Youran's cheek with very light movements, his voice so soft that it was almost a sigh.
"Don't worry, when you wake up... you will definitely still be beautiful."
At this time, the bodyguard's announcement came from outside the door: "Mr. Shi, Mr. Renault wants to see you."
"Let him in."
Shi Heng responded without raising his head, his gaze still fixed on Gu Youran's face.
The door was gently pushed open and Renault strode in.
He walked straight to the bed and took out a necklace from his pocket.
"Youyou lost the necklace when she was five years old," Renault said with a hint of nostalgia, "It's a keepsake from the Gu family. I found it."
Shi Heng took the necklace and his brows suddenly frowned.
"Youyou?" he repeated coldly, "Why are you calling me so affectionately?"
Renault ignored him and stared at Gu Youran intently, with the pity in his eyes almost overflowing.
"Youyou and I grew up together. I was waiting outside the delivery room when she was born. She was so small back then..."
He used his hands to measure the size of a baby.
Shi Heng clenched the necklace tightly, and the edge of the badge dug deep into his palm.
His eyes were fixed on Renault, and his chest felt tight.
The man in front of him knew Youbao's childhood nickname and had seen her most innocent appearance.
But I missed the first twenty-five years of her life.
This realization made his breath hitch.
I know such comparisons are meaningless.
But when I think of the past that I will never be able to participate in, my heart aches.
"What a pity," he said deliberately, emphasizing, "Youbao is my wife now."
Renault finally turned his gaze to him, a wry smile on his lips.
"When Youyou was three years old, both the Gu and Lei families encountered misfortunes at the same time, and we were forced to separate."
He paused, "She has been looking for her parents all these years, right?"
Shi Heng's heart was shocked.
Of course he knew Youbao's concern, and even mobilized the "Shadow" organization to track him down, but he could not find any clues.
"Specific situation..."
Renault sighed softly: "Wait until she wakes up and let her tell you in person."
"Put the necklace on her, it's very important to her." Renault reminded.
Shi Heng then carefully examined the necklace in his hand.
There was a badge hanging from the silver chain, and the flying eagle totem on it was exactly the same as the tattoo on Youbao's back.
Shi Heng leaned down silently and carefully lifted Gu Youran's neck.
The silver chain slipped off, and the cool metal touched her warm skin.
"drop--"
The heart monitor suddenly beeped.
Both of them turned their eyes to the screen at the same time, and then looked at each other in tacit understanding.
Five seconds later, everything returned to calm.
"Let's get down to business."
Renault was the first to break the silence, "Chu Beiyuan was taken to Country Y by Fernan's people. As for Mu Xuewei..."
His brows furrowed, "His current whereabouts remain a mystery."
Shi Heng's eyes froze instantly. "Fernando? Your brother who will do anything to achieve his goals?"
Ever since discovering the special relationship between Renault and Gu Youran, Shi Heng has used all his resources to investigate him thoroughly.
"Exactly."
Renault pulled out a document from the inside pocket of his windbreaker.
"7.62mm rifle shells were found at the scene. This kind of professional-grade firepower configuration is indeed the usual method used by my 'brother'."
Shi Heng flipped through the documents quickly.
Suddenly, his eyes fixed on a photo.
The scene in the picture was Chu Beiyuan being taken onto a private plane.
"Chu Beiyuan had long since taken refuge with Fernando," Renault explained. "This rescue was for the Chu family's underground industry in Country Y."
"For Youyou's safety, we must work together."
Shi Heng closed the document and his eyes fell on the eagle badge on Gu Youran's neck.
In order to protect the person in the hospital bed, some decisions have to be made.
"It's a pleasure to work with you." Shi Heng extended his hand.
The two hands clasped together in mid-air with just the right amount of strength.
At this moment, the two men who had always been at odds with each other reached a rare understanding.
…
The darkness in front of Gu Youran's eyes cracked again.
This time, she found herself in a paradise surrounded by mountains.
A village with green tiles and white walls is located next to a stream, and several children are playing in the water.
