Chapter 386 Wait for me to find you
Cui Yue denied: "No."
The Cui family has developed steadily over the years without any major disturbances, thanks to their down-to-earth approach.
No one in the Cui family is stupid enough to be blinded by the so-called resurrection from the dead, and rush to disrupt the current precarious social situation, stirring up trouble and allowing others to fish in troubled waters.
Furthermore, Gu Nan had saved Qi Yan and Cui Shao successively, and was the benefactor of the Cui family. They could not be ungrateful and join forces with outsiders to force their benefactor to death.
Cui Yue's eyes showed a hint of apology, "I'm sorry, we didn't expect them to set up such a big plan."
In order to capture Gu Nan, thousands of lives were sacrificed and a high-level special force was raised in the city center.
When Cui Yue first learned of this absurd truth, he wanted to pick up a bag of explosives and blow up all the people who were responsible for the plan.
It is hard to imagine that such stupid and greedy parasites could appear among the top management.
Gu Nan did not respond to Cui Yue's apology, but only asked: "Is Mom still there?"
Cui Yue lowered his head slightly, his face showing reluctance, but he still said bluntly: "We haven't seen her since the incident. You must prepare for the worst."
Gu Nan took a moment to react before saying, "Please help me contact them."
Cui Yue glanced at the old lady, who raised her hand tremblingly, turned on the bracelet, and dialed the number.
The account belonged to a junior whom she trusted and had high hopes for. He had a close relationship with the Cui family and would visit her at the old house during the holidays. She always thought that he was a good child who was dedicated to the people.
It was not until recently that she realized that the other party had long been lured by the allure of resurrection.
The video was connected, and there was no one in the picture, only a snow-white wall and floor, with a light-colored sofa in the middle.
No one wanted to show up in such a conspiracy. Even the voices were electronic and mechanical. "Long time no see. Should I call you Gu Nan or Gu Bei?"
Gu Nan didn't have the energy to talk nonsense with the person opposite him, "Let me see my mother."
"So direct." The mechanical voice said in a flat tone, but Gu Nan could hear the condescending pride and arrogance, and it seemed that it was very satisfied with Gu Nan's reaction.
Gu Nan just felt nauseous.
The door locked, followed by light footsteps, getting closer and closer, and a person sat on the sofa.
It was Gu Jin. She looked a little more haggard than when we parted, and she looked at the camera with a tentative look, her hands tightly clasped together, looking uneasy.
Gu Nan called softly, "Mom."
Gu Jin heard it and opened his eyes wide in surprise, and then his eyes blossomed with obvious joy, "Xiaobei, is that you?"
Gu Nan: "It's me, are you okay?"
Gu Jin nodded repeatedly, "I'm fine. Where are you? Are you doing well? Did they give you any trouble?"
"No, Mom, did they give you any trouble?"
"Fortunately, apart from the endless questioning, I ate and drank well, and I was not injured." Gu Jin leaned forward, as if wanting to get closer to see his daughter's face through the camera, his eyes filled with worry and anxiety.
But in Gu Nan's eyes, the face distorted by the camera looked indescribably strange.
Gu Nan looked at her in a daze.
"What's wrong, Xiaobei? Why aren't you talking?" Gu Jin asked anxiously, "Did they do something to you? Xiaobei, talk to your mother."
Gu Nan closed his eyes tiredly, and when he opened them again, tears were already glistening in his eyes. "I'm fine, don't worry, Mom. I'll come find you."
Gu Jin was stunned for a moment, as if trying to process what Gu Nan meant. After two seconds, he said in panic, "Don't come over, Xiaobei..."
Her words stopped abruptly.
The communication was disconnected.
Gu Nan couldn't sit still and slid down a bit.
The thin figure sank into the soft and fluffy pillow, like a piece of dry firewood that hurt the hands.
Her face seemed to have turned even paler, and rich spiritual energy was continuously flowing into her body, but with little effect. A thick, deadly aura enveloped her brows tightly.
The old lady couldn't bear to see her like this, so she turned her head away and kept wiping the corners of her eyes with her handkerchief.
Cui Yue felt as heavy as a stone, for Gu Nan's dying life and for her choice as a daughter.
After a long silence, he whispered, "Have you decided to save her?"
Gu Nan gasped slightly, and a wheezing sound came from his chest. "Why not?"
But when she raised her eyes, they were calm and cold, contrary to her emotional words.
Cui Yue opened his lips and realized that she was speaking to someone who might be hiding in his or the old lady's terminal, or someone else they couldn't detect.
Gu Nan was very clear-headed and she did not choose to compromise.
But what made her make the decision so quickly was probably that Gu Jin showed something strange during their brief exchange.
Cui Yue didn't ask, but nodded slightly, as if he understood her determination to save Gu Jin.
When Gu Nan saw him nod, his eyes went blank and the expression on his face remained blank for two seconds.
The dialogue that the other party had set up for Gu Jin was impeccable, and the communication was timed just right. Any daughter who loved her mother would be completely distraught after receiving such a communication.
But that's just for ordinary mothers and daughters.
Gu Jin and Gu Bei have been estranged for many years. Gu Jin's love is endlessly tolerant, silent, and not impatient, like gentle water, silent and soundless.
Gu Bei, who hides a secret and has a closed heart, cannot appreciate that love, but Gu Nan knows that under the huge impact of Gu Bei's possible means of resurrection, Gu Jin's emotions will not be expressed so openly.
Moreover, Gu Nan and Gu Jin did not spend much time together, which was not enough to change the mother-daughter relationship that Gu Jin and Gu Bei had maintained for many years.
The real Gu Jin may be gone long ago.
Gu Nan's thoughts slowly gathered, his eyelashes trembling, his unfocused gaze falling back on Cui Yue, and he asked in a low voice: "When did they close the net?"
Cui Yue's voice became increasingly lower. "I guess it was not long after you saved Xiao Shao."
Gu Nan was stunned.
Before rescuing Cui Shao, Gu Jin suddenly received two hot spring experience coupons.
At that time, Gu Nan felt that a hot spring resort with such a good environment and service should not be so short of customers that it has to rely on issuing experience coupons to attract customers.
Gu Jin said that it was given to her by a professor in the office, and a colleague also posted a circle of friends about going to the resort. She confirmed it from many sources before she felt comfortable taking Gu Nan there.
Cui Shao later said that the accident was a trick, but it just happened that a student and a boss, two people who had nothing to do with each other, were taking a hot spring bath in adjacent yards.
The student was so bold that he seemed to know what was happening next door and jumped into the pool to rescue someone in the middle of the night.
She directly let the system take over the bracelet to make calls. Her reaction when she found out that the person who fell into the water was Cui Shao. Before leaving, she specifically asked the staff to inform her of Cui Shao's treatment situation... As long as you investigate in depth, they are actually loopholes.
But Gu Nan never thought it would happen so early.
It was so cruel that just a test almost cost Cui Shao his life.
Gu Nan felt cold all over. The huge anger and nausea made her stomach cramp and her tense body couldn't help shaking.
"vomit!"
She suddenly fell over the edge of the bed, making hoarse retching sounds.
