Chapter 111 Her location has been tracked down.
Security personnel heard the noise, rushed in, found that only a cup had been broken, cleaned it up, and then left.
The computer on the desk beeped softly. An email popped up automatically, revealing an encrypted message lying quietly inside.
From: Qingniao Xiayuan.
Gu Xingnian walked over and opened the email.
Briefly: Fu Beichen arrived at Qingniao headquarters last night, stayed in your office until midnight, and left in the early morning.
In addition, Lu Lie arrived at the A country branch yesterday, and everything went smoothly.
Gu Xingnian tapped her fingertips lightly on the keyboard and replied with a single word: Okay.
Then I closed the email.
Inside the presidential suite of a six-star hotel in Country F, Fu Beichen's personal computer screen suddenly lit up, and a tiny notification popped up silently.
He caught the signal almost instantly. The man, who had been leaning back in his chair with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them, his eyes sharp and piercing.
Long, slender fingers flew across the specially designed keyboard, so fast they almost left afterimages, tracking an IP address that had briefly exchanged data with Xia Yuan.
The only sound in the air was the rapid, rhythmic clatter of his keyboard.
A few seconds later, the IP location was successfully located.
Fu Beichen stared at the flashing red dot on the screen, and a very slight smile involuntarily crept onto his lips.
Oh.
He finally caught him. He felt his blood boil again, every cell screaming with excitement.
He came back to life!
...
At noon, the atmosphere in the Sheng family restaurant was somewhat subtle.
At the long dining table, Huo Shenyuan and Old Madam Huo sat side by side, with the head of the Sheng family opposite them.
Today's meal is ostensibly a special occasion arranged by Old Madam Huo to express her gratitude to Gu Xingnian for saving her life.
But man proposes, God disposes.
Gu Mingxi explained apologetically, "It's really unfortunate, Xingnian... went on a trip."
"Tourism?" Old Madam Huo raised an eyebrow slightly.
"Yes, they said they're going to travel around the world, and I'm afraid they won't be back for a while," Gu Mingxi added, forcing herself to speak.
Madam Huo's gaze swept across the dining table, finally settling on a quiet little girl.
The girl had delicate features and fair skin; she was a true beauty.
"And who is this?" The old lady's voice was not loud, but it carried an undeniable sense of inquiry.
Gu Mingxi quickly smiled and replied, "Oh, this is Qingning, my newly adopted daughter."
She tugged at Li Qingning's sleeve, signaling her to say hello.
Madam Huo nodded calmly.
This girl is so beautiful, her looks and figure are impeccable. If she could become the granddaughter-in-law of the Huo family, that would be... the best thing ever.
The old lady was calculating her own schemes.
Who is Sheng Weiwei?
Sharp eyes!
She saw right through the old lady's thoughts. She nudged Li Qingning beside her with her elbow, lowered her voice, and said with a mischievous smile, "Qingning, hurry up and say hello to Grandma Huo."
Li Qingning's cheeks flushed slightly, and she nervously raised her hand, making a few gestures towards Old Madam Huo, while making soft "ah...ah..." sounds.
She wanted to say: Hello, Madam.
The smile on Old Madam Huo's face froze instantly, and the warmth in her eyes quickly cooled and turned somber.
"This child...can't he speak?" The tone was filled with undisguised disappointment, and the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly plummeted to freezing point.
Huo Shenyuan immediately noticed the change in his grandmother's mood and quickly tried to smooth things over: "Grandma, Qingning is just saying hello to you."
He looked at Li Qingning gently, trying to ease her embarrassment.
Sheng Weiwei didn't buy it and gave Huo Shenyuan a big eye roll.
"Tch, Huo Shenyuan, you're still too green to be a sign language interpreter!"
She cleared her throat and began to "translate" to Madam Huo in a serious tone: "Grandma Huo, Qingning said that this braised pork is absolutely delicious. You and Young Master Huo should eat more pieces, don't be shy!"
"puff--"
Li Qingning almost spat out her water, her face instantly turning bright red.
She shook her head frantically, gesturing wildly: No! No!
Sheng Weiwei winked mischievously and continued her "professional translation": "Oh dear, Qingning said again that the braised pork is too delicious for her alone! Why don't you two try the rose chicken leg next to it? It has more meat, so don't fight with her for the braised pork!"
Li Qingning's eyes reddened with anxiety, and she quickly reached out her small hand to cover Sheng Weiwei's incessantly chattering mouth.
This is so embarrassing! How can she ever face anyone again!
The little girl's cheeks were as red as ripe apples, and even her ears were burning.
Seeing Li Qingning's embarrassed and anxious expression, her face flushed red as if she wanted to disappear into the ground, Huo Shenyuan couldn't help but chuckle softly.
That Sheng Weiwei is such a character; she has a whole repertoire of tricks up her sleeve when it comes to bullying people.
His gaze fell on Li Qingning's puffed-up, helpless little face, and he found it somewhat amusing, yet also... indescribably interesting.
...
Fu Beichen stared intently at the map of Fengshi Town. A day ago, the town's sea route had been blocked, prohibiting unidentified outsiders from entering the town. Tourist routes had also been closed, and the area was under strict official surveillance.
This further confirmed Fu Beichen's idea that Gu Xingnian was inside, and he was so excited that his body trembled slightly.
However, the town is surrounded by the sea on three sides, making helicopters too conspicuous and preventing ships from passing. The bungee jumping at the extreme tourism spot to the west has also been suspended, and the mountains behind it are steep cliffs with searchlights, making climbing impractical.
“I remember, the mayor of Phoenix Stone Town was that old man Henry, I think.”
Fu Beichen suddenly said something, and twirled a lighter a few times with his slender fingers.
"That's right! By the way, the Fengshi Town Food Festival is in a couple of days. There will be a grand celebration, and the whole town will celebrate together! There will definitely be some special guests coming to the town, which will be a good opportunity."
Lin Qi's words were a wake-up call; this was indeed a good opportunity.
"Contact Henry, I need to get to town today!"
He couldn't wait a moment longer!
"Okay, I'll prepare the private jet." Lin Qi knew his boss was anxious, so he turned around and asked, "Who are you taking this time?"
"Bring Qingzhao along." He remembered Lu Lie's words and knew she must be in a dangerous situation, so he dared not relax his vigilance for a moment.
“Send those Chris family things to Berry; he knows what to do.”
Over the years, he had collected a lot of information about the Chris family's dark secrets. As early as the last time they openly tried to take Gu Xingnian away, he had already prepared to take action. A family that is too large or too aggressive is destined to have a bad end.
“Okay!” Lin Qi nodded.
As night fell, the temperature in Fengshi Town dropped significantly. It was already late autumn, and the night wind carried a chill, causing the window screens to flutter and dance as if dancing.
The moonlight streamed in as if it were free, bathing the windowsill. A dark figure, moving as swiftly as a cat, leaped onto the second-floor balcony of the villa in a few moments.
He skillfully avoided all the surveillance cameras, displaying incredible agility.
It didn't disturb anyone, not even a dog barked.
In the bedroom, a small nightlight cast a dim, yellowish glow.
On the large bed, a woman was fast asleep, breathing evenly. Her long eyelashes cast a small shadow under her eyes, making her look particularly docile.
The man approached step by step, his footsteps so light they were almost inaudible. A glint flashed in his eyes, and then he drew a dagger from his waist, its sharp blade gleaming coldly…
