The situation was awkward for a while. Chi Lishuang's last mistake caused her company's business to plummet, and it has not recovered yet. She looked nonchalant on the surface, but she was actually angry when she thought about it.
"Mr. Gu, this is ultimately your fault. If you had been more careful and helped me, this wouldn't have happened."
Chi Lishuang's shameless look made Gu Tingchen feel that the delicious food in front of him was tasteless.
She knew very well in her heart that Gu Tingchen's purpose in coming here was just to help Jiang Ranran, and it had nothing to do with her.
The more anxious Gu Tingchen was, the more Chi Lishuang wanted to delay time and take this opportunity to take advantage of Gu Tingchen.
Seeing Chi Lishuang's dirty thoughts, Gu Tingchen said with a cold face: "I don't want to argue with you. That matter is in the past. I came here today to find out the whereabouts of Zhang Ruixue."
"Mr. Gu, do you have a request for me?" Chi Lishuang slowly sipped the red wine, her charming eyes full of alluring glances.
Jiang Ranran is probably the only one in the world who can get Gu Tingchen to personally help solve the problem.
However, in Gu Tingchen's dictionary, there has never been a word like "ask". The worst that can happen is just an exchange of interests.
"As long as you tell me the whereabouts of Zhang Ruixue, I will help you overcome the difficulties of your company." Gu Tingchen ignored Chi Lishuang's deliberate pulling and went straight to the point to tell her the benefits he would give Chi Lishuang.
This benefit will definitely make Chi Lishuang excited, because in Chi Lishuang's heart, getting Gu Tingchen is a small matter, she values interests more.
As expected, when Chi Lishuang heard the price offered by Gu Tingchen, her eyes lit up, but she quickly hid them again.
"I don't want the company's interests, I just want you, Mr. Gu, okay?" Chi Lishuang deliberately teased Gu Tingchen to see what choice he would make.
Gu Tingchen didn't buy it at all. He stood up and put on the suit on the chair, saying, "I'll have my assistant send you the contract later. The Gu Group and the Chi Group will have a one-year cooperation period. You should cherish it."
"Send me Zhang Ruixue's exact location within half an hour, otherwise you will lose everything."
Gu Tingchen said all of this in an imperative tone. He was not trying to scare Chi Lishuang. Chi Lishuang also knew that Gu Tingchen had the ability to do so.
If he didn't follow Gu Tingchen's arrangements, the final result might be that a little Zhang Ruixue would die, Chi Lishuang's business would be ruined, and he might even go to jail.
Chi Lishuang is not stupid. The conditions offered by Gu Tingchen are so tempting that she has no reason not to accept them.
As soon as Gu Tingchen received the location, he informed Jiang Ranran. Jiang Ranran didn't bother to be angry with Gu Tingchen and drove directly to the abandoned underground garage. Gu Tingchen arrived soon after.
There was no sound in the dark underground garage. A gust of cold wind blew, and Jiang Ranran shivered with cold.
Suddenly, a strong light came from behind her. Jiang Ranran turned around and saw that it was Gu Tingchen. He came very quickly.
Gu Tingchen spoke with a hint of reproach, "You are acting alone again. I shouldn't have informed you in advance. You must wait for me next time." As he spoke, he took off his suit and put it on Jiang Ranran. It was chilly here.
Thinking about how she was arguing with Gu Tingchen just now, Jiang Ranran suddenly felt guilty. She shouldn't have been so willful.
Seeing the tears in Jiang Ranran's eyes, Gu Tingchen smiled dotingly and gently scratched the tip of her nose, "Let's go, let's go find Zhang Ruixue."
He never argued with Jiang Ranran, nor was he angry. He was only determined to help her solve the problem.
Gu Tingchen supported Jiang Ranran, and the two of them searched in the underground garage, one step deep and one step shallow. Soon, they saw Zhang Ruixue tied to a pillar with her head drooping.
In this empty and dark underground garage, Zhang Ruixue, with her scalp draped over her head and her head hanging, looked a bit scary.
But Jiang Ranran didn't care about all this. She rushed forward to untie Zhang Ruixue. Gu Tingchen followed closely behind her, fearing that she would fall, so he could protect her at any time.
Jiang Ranran didn't care whether Zhang Ruixue was unconscious or not, or whether she could hold on to her after the rope was untied, she just kept untying the rope.
As expected, Zhang Ruixue couldn't stand at all. As soon as the rope was released, she fell down and almost crushed Jiang Ranran under her. Fortunately, Gu Tingchen caught her and carried her on his shoulders.
The two of them took Zhang Ruixue and hurried out of the garage. Thick dust filled Gu Tingchen's nostrils and he felt like he was going to suffocate at any moment. He could only speed up his pace.
Only when they reached the roadside did Gu Tingchen put Zhang Ruixue down and check her physical condition.
After feeling Zhang Ruixue's breathing, Gu Tingchen finally breathed a sigh of relief, "She must have just fainted."
In this damp and cold underground garage, I haven't had anything to eat or drink for several days. Even if I were hungry, I would have fainted from hunger. This is normal. As long as I'm alive, it's fine.
"Ruixue, wake up, wake up." Jiang Ranran gently shook Zhang Ruixue's shoulders. Zhang Ruixue indeed opened her eyelids weakly. When she saw that it was Jiang Ranran, a little light flashed in her eyes.
Zhang Ruixue thought she was dreaming, hallucinating from hunger. She opened her mouth in disbelief, "Ranran, is this really you? Am I dreaming?"
As she spoke, she wanted to reach out and touch Jiang Ranran's face to confirm whether it was true or not, but she had no strength at all.
Jiang Ranran grabbed Zhang Ruixue's hand and put it against her face. "It's me. I found you. You're okay now. Let's go home now."
While Jiang Ranran was comforting Zhang Ruixue, Gu Tingchen had already lifted Zhang Ruixue into the car and was preparing to drive back home.
After arriving at Gu's house, Jiang Ranran immediately fed Zhang Ruixue some sugar water to help her recover some strength and consciousness.
The sugar water was very effective. Zhang Ruixue quickly regained consciousness. After looking around, she was sure that she was at Gu's house. Tears immediately welled up in her eyes. She hugged Jiang Ranran and sobbed, "I thought I was dead this time. I thought I would never see you again."
Jiang Ranran comforted her with tears in her eyes: "It's okay, it's all in the past. You will be fine as long as I am here."
She will never let down those who follow her sincerely.
After Zhang Ruixue's strength gradually recovered, Jiang Ranran personally went into the kitchen and cooked a few dishes for her. Zhang Ruixue's unconcerned eating habits made both Gu Tingchen and Jiang Ranran laugh.
"Eat slowly, no one is going to snatch the food from you." Jiang Ranran considerately picked up some food for Zhang Ruixue and wiped her sweat.
At this moment, Gu Tingchen quietly withdrew. After leaving the table, he received a call from Mo Cheng, "Mr. Gu, the contract with Chi Lishuang has been signed. From now on, we will cooperate with the Chi Group for a whole year."
A year of dealings was enough for the Chi Group to regain its footing, but it was also enough to make Gu Tingchen feel tortured and nauseous.
