Gu Weiwei stared blankly at that familiar face, her breath trembling uncontrollably.
She knew that they would meet someday.
I never expected that we would meet so soon and in such a sorry state.
"Where are Yuan Shuo and that child?" Gu Siting asked.
Gu Weiwei took a deep breath, her mind churning with thoughts.
She was afraid he would recognize her, yet she was also afraid he... wouldn't recognize her.
Even the instant he walked in, she suddenly felt as if everything she had experienced over the past few months had been a nightmare.
She didn't become Mu Weiwei, nor did Ling Yan rip out her heart.
She woke up from her dream, and everything was still the same as before.
"Tell me, where did Yuan Shuo hide? And where is that child?" Gu Siting demanded sharply.
After a long while, Gu Weiwei finally calmed down.
"You... what are you talking about, Yuan Shuo, what child?"
His men brought her here not because they recognized her as Gu Weiwei.
Rather, it was because she went to the Yuan family.
He was looking for someone from the Yuan family, so he brought her here for interrogation.
Previously, she overheard Fu Hanzheng and Fu Shiqin saying that he was looking for a child.
Now, Gu Siting asked her about her master and child.
Could it be that the child he's looking for is his master's son, Xiao Yuanbao?
Gu Siting's gaze was sharp as he stared intently into the girl's frightened, tearful eyes.
"You went to the Yuan family, and you don't know anyone from the Yuan family?"
Gu Weiwei's breathing trembled, and her eyes stung with tears.
"I just... drove to the top of Qingyuan Mountain to see the night view, got lost, and saw a house and wanted to ask for directions."
Gu Siting released his grip and pointed to the wig on his hair.
"To see the night view, do you need to disguise yourself and wear a wig?"
Gu Weiwei calmed down completely and looked down at the carpet as she spoke.
"I'm a star from China attending the film festival. I didn't want my fans to recognize me, so I put on makeup and wore a wig. If you don't believe me, I can have my agent come pick me up."
It seems the Yuan family members went missing because they didn't want Gu Siting to find them.
He had always trusted the Yuan family, but what exactly happened after her death?
The Yuan family needs to hide, yet he's resorting to any means necessary to find his master and the others.
Gu Siting's assistant, Kuroda Shigeo, handed her the phone.
"Call your agent."
Gu Weiwei dialed Qiao Lin's number, but Qiao Lin, who was already asleep, answered the phone in a daze.
"Who is it? Can't a person get some sleep in the middle of the night?"
"Qiao Lin, I got into some trouble outside, could you come pick me up?"
"Something happened?" Qiao Lin snapped awake, getting out of bed and getting dressed as he asked.
"What happened? Is anyone hurt? Where is anyone?"
Gu Weiwei handed the phone to Kuroda Shigeo, "Tell him the address."
Kuroda Shigeo took the phone and gave the location of his hotel.
A short while later, Qiao Lin arrived, and Kuroda Shigeo went out to ask around for a while.
Then, he entered and said.
"Boss, she is indeed an artist from China attending the film festival. She may have been asking for directions."
Gu Siting stared at Gu Weiwei for a long time, still finding it hard to believe that she didn't know anyone from the Yuan family.
The way she looked at him just now didn't seem like it was the first time they'd met.
After a while, he reached for the checkbook that Kuroda Shio handed him and wrote down a considerable amount.
"I'm sorry, what happened tonight was a misunderstanding."
Gu Weiwei took the check. "Can I go now?"
"Can."
Gu Weiwei clutched the check tightly and walked out of the door that Kuroda Shigeo had opened.
When Qiao Lin saw her, he was so frightened that he almost cried.
"Weiwei, how are you?"
Upon hearing the sound, Gu Siting suddenly shouted to stop the person who had already left.
"stop!"
Gu Weiwei stopped in her tracks, her hands trembling slightly.
Gu Siting walked to the door and asked in a deep voice.
"Your name is Weiwei?"
"My name is Mu Weiwei, the Weiwei in 'slight smile'."
