Chapter 331 I Thought I'd Never See You Again

Gu Mian frowned, "What do you mean disappeared?"

"Two hours ago, she asked me to buy something for her. When I came back, she was not in the living room. I thought she was sleeping in the bedroom, so I put the things in the living room and went out."

"I knocked on the door just now, but no one answered. I opened the door and went in, only to find that no one was in the bedroom, and her backpack was missing!"

"Go check the surveillance and see what's going on."

"yes."

......

The bodyguard quickly saw from the surveillance that a few minutes after he left, Lan Jinghao came out of the room with a backpack and left directly.

The bodyguard went to the bedroom and searched carefully. He saw a note on the table. There was only a short sentence on it: "Xiao Gu, I feel relieved to see that you are being taken care of so well by Miss Gu. I am leaving now. Don't come to see me. I wish you all the best."

Gu Mian immediately gave the note to Li Tingshen.

After Li Ting took a deep look, he remained silent, with no emotion visible on his handsome face.

The bodyguard apologized, "Boss Li, Madam, it's my fault. I didn't take good care of Miss Lan."

"I told you that I only asked you to protect her safety, not to watch her like a criminal, so I don't blame you." Gu Mian said, "Miss Lan is unfamiliar with the imperial capital, so we must find her as soon as possible."

"Contact the police and ask them to use the Sky Eye system to find out where Miss Lan is."

The bodyguard nodded, "Yes."

Li Tingshen turned his head and looked at Gu Mian, "She wants to marry me, aren't you angry with her?"

Gu Mian smiled calmly, "There are so many women in this world who want to marry you. If you were to get angry about this, I would have died of anger a long time ago."

"And I don't like female competition. Why should women make things difficult for other women?"

"Besides, speaking objectively, there's nothing wrong with her falling in love with you without knowing that you're married."

"I just hope that now that she knows, she can accept it and stop having feelings for you."

"Yes." Li Tingshen responded, "I will explain everything to her when I find her."

......

The Sky Eye system quickly found Lan Jinghao. She was living in the old hotel where she had previously lived with Li Tingshen.

Gu Mian was going to pick her up in person, and Li Tingshen wanted to go with her.

Li Tingshen's current condition is better than before he was admitted to the hospital. It does not affect his daily life, so there is no problem with being discharged from the hospital, so he has no objection to sleeping.

The two arrived at the hotel and asked the front desk clerk which room Lan Jinghao was in.

I knocked on the door for a long time, but no one opened it.

The hotel conditions were poor and there was no surveillance, so we couldn't be sure whether Lan Jinghao was in the room or had gone out.

Li Tingshen took out his old cell phone and called Lan Jinghao, but no one answered.

"No one opened the door for such a long time, maybe she went out." Gu Mian suggested, "Why don't we wait in the car so that we can be the first to see her when she comes back."

"Okay."

The two were about to leave when they suddenly heard a slapping sound coming from next door.

The sound was very loud, he must have used a lot of strength.

Then, the man cursed, "You bastard! How dare you kick me! I'll kill you today!"

Another obscene voice sounded, "How can you be so rude to a girl? You should say I will make you feel great today..."

"Yes, I will fuck her tonight!"

Gu Mian frowned, walked forward immediately, and leaned on the door to listen for any movement.

Sure enough, a woman's "wuwuwu" sound was heard from inside.

"Something's wrong." Gu Mian said immediately, "Someone come."

The bodyguard stepped forward and said, "Madam, this is none of our business."

"It's really none of our business, but what if there really is an innocent girl being bullied?"

"Break the door open. If it is a misunderstanding, I will make corresponding compensation."

"yes!"

The old door of the hotel was kicked open by the bodyguard in just a few kicks.

The next second, the scene in the room came into view of several people.

I saw Lan Jinghao being pressed on the bed, her mouth taped, her clothes torn off, leaving only a piece of underwear!

Two men were holding her down and trying to take off her pants!

"Wuwuwu..." Lan Jinghao saw the people standing at the door and struggled hard as if she had seen a savior!

Two bodyguards immediately stepped forward and restrained the two men.

Gu Mian took off his thin coat, put it on Lan Jinghao, and tore off the tape on her mouth.

Lan Jinghao was slapped several times, her face was swollen and looked terrible.

“Woo woo woo…”

Lan Jing broke down and cried loudly, then she stood up and threw herself into Li Tingshen's arms!

"Xiao Gu, you are finally here! I thought I would never see you again... "

"I thought I was going to be bullied... If that's the case, I don't need to live anymore..."

Li Tingshen frowned slightly, but did not push her away. He patted her shoulder gently, "It's okay..."

Lan Jing cried so hard that she was out of breath, and the next second, she fainted.

"Be quiet... Be quiet!" Li Tingshen hurriedly supported her.

"Boss Li, let me do it."

The bodyguard rushed forward and picked up Lan Jinghao.

Gu Mian held her coat tightly to prevent her from exposing herself and said, "Send her to the hospital!"

"yes!"

......

In the hospital, Lan Jinghao fainted and never woke up.

"Ting Shen, go back to your ward and rest." Gu Mian reminded him, "It will be good for you to lie down more. I'll watch over you here, you'll be fine."

"You should rest, too."

Li Tingshen could see that Gu Mian was very tired.

Not only does she have to take care of him during the day, she also has to handle the work of the MS Group, and she has almost no time to rest.

"I'm fine." Gu Mian said, "I still have to wait for my subordinates to report today's events, otherwise I won't be able to sleep."

"Then I'll accompany you."

Gu Mian looked at his watch and said, "It's almost 12 o'clock now. Let's wait until one o'clock. If Miss Lan hasn't woken up yet, we will all go to rest. This is a hospital. Miss Lan will be fine."

"good."

Not long after, the bodyguard knocked on the door and came in.

"Madam, when the two men were sent to the police station, they said that they were both drunk and saw Miss Lan coming out from next door, and they were horny."

"He also said that he found there was no surveillance there, so he dragged Miss Lan into his room and wanted to assault her."

Gu Mian asked, "What do they do?"

"They are two hooligans who not only don't have proper jobs but also often steal things. They were just released from prison after being reformed not long ago."

"Are you raped?"

"no."

Gu Mian thought, "A thief would usually only carry tools like lock picking, right? Why would he carry tape?"

"I think this is strange. Let's investigate it carefully."

The bodyguard nodded, "I understand."

As soon as the bodyguard left, Lan Jinghao, who was lying on the hospital bed, suddenly opened her eyes and shouted out of control as if frightened, "Don't touch me! Please don't touch me! Ah - Xiao Gu, save me!"

Li Tingshen stood up from the sofa and walked forward, "Calm down...Calm down, calm down, everything is fine!"

Lan Jinghao gradually calmed down and confirmed that the person in front of her was Li Tingshen. She stood up and hugged him.

"Xiao Gu, is it really you? Wuwuwu..." Lan Jinghao was shaking all over, "I'm so scared... I thought I would never see you again in this life... Wuwuwu..."

"It's okay." Li Tingshen patted her back gently, "You're receiving an IV, lie down and don't move."

Lan Jing finally calmed down and lay down obediently.

She then saw Gu Mian and quickly greeted her, "Ms. Gu, hello..."

"Hello." Gu Mian curved his lips and greeted politely, "The doctor has done a detailed physical examination for you. Apart from the swelling on your face, there are no other problems. You don't have to worry."

"I've applied ointment on my face, and the swelling will go away tomorrow."

"Thank you Miss Gu." Lan Jinghao's eyes were filled with tears. "Thanks to you for coming, otherwise..."

Lan Jinghao began to sob again.

"Don't be afraid, it's all over." Gu Mian comforted him, "Those two people have been sent to the police station. You were supposed to give a statement, but you didn't wake up."

"You tell us what happened and we can report it to the police."

Lan Jinghao began to tremble again. "I was about to go out to buy a bottle of water. As soon as I walked out of the room, two men pulled me into the next room..."

"I hurriedly shouted for help, but they immediately sealed my mouth with tape, and I couldn't shout anymore..."

Lan Jinghao cried as she spoke, "Then they stripped my clothes. I fought back and kicked one of them. Then they started beating me..."

Gu Mian poured her a cup of warm water and said, "It's over now. You don't have to be afraid. No one will bully you anymore."

Lan Jinghao's hands were shaking as she took the cup of water. "Thank you...thank you..."

"Your statement is consistent with those two people's statements. The police will handle the case according to the law and give you justice."

"Hmm..." Lan Jinghao asked, "It's a good thing you guys are here today... By the way, how did you happen to pass by there?"

"We came here specifically to look for you," Gu Mian said. "Miss Lan, you are alone in the capital, unfamiliar with the place. How can you just leave without saying hello?"

"If you were in danger, we would never be at peace. So I tried to find your address and go look for you, but I didn't expect you to be in danger."

"I..." Lan Jing was so sad that she couldn't speak and just kept sobbing.

Gu Mian brought her a tissue and handed it to her, "Don't cry, get some good sleep. If you feel uncomfortable at night, you can always press the button to call the nurse."

"Little Gu!" Seeing that Li Tingshen was about to leave with Gu Mian, Lan Jinghao hurriedly asked, "Can you...can you stay with me? I'm really scared..."

"His body needs to be recuperated, and the doctor told him to lie down more." Gu Mian thought for a moment and said, "How about this, if you are really scared, I will stay with you and let him go back to his own ward to rest. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

"How can I do this?" Lan Jing hesitated for a moment and said, "Ms. Gu, it is very hard for you to give acupuncture treatment to Xiao Gu. Only if you have a good rest can Xiao Gu recover sooner, so I don't want to trouble you."

Gu Mian readily accepted the advice, "In that case, I can't insist. Miss Lan, I will arrange bodyguards to guard your safety at the door of the ward, so you can rest assured."

Lan Jinghao said awkwardly, "But men and women shouldn't touch each other..."

"Don't worry, my men are very disciplined. They won't step into the ward without your permission."

Lan Jinghao didn't say anything.

Gu Mian sent Li Tingshen back to the ward and said, "You have a good rest. I will go home and sleep tonight."

Just as Gu Mian turned around to leave, his arm was grabbed by a strong hand.

"Are you angry?" the man asked in a deep voice.

Gu Mian was curious, "Why am I angry?"

"...She hugged me."

Gu Mian smiled, "She must have been frightened by what happened to her, and you're the only one she knows, so it's normal for her to hug you when she's emotionally broken. If she doesn't hug you, will she hug me?"

Li Tingshen: "......"

Gu Mian didn't mean to make trouble for him, so he should be happy.

But for some reason, the man felt extremely lost.

"Then why do you suddenly want to go home?"

"I was supposed to stay at home tonight, but I promised Nian Nian that I would have breakfast with her tomorrow morning," Gu Mian explained.

"Okay." Li Tingshen finally let her go, "Be careful on the road."

"Um."

Gu Mian got in the car and pressed his temples tiredly.

"Madam, what's wrong?" the bodyguard in the passenger seat asked, "I didn't hear you say you were going home to sleep tonight."

Gu Mian smiled and said, "If I don't go home to sleep, Miss Lan will definitely feel uncomfortable. Didn't you see that she really wants Ting Shen to stay with her?"

"What would she think if Ting Shen didn't stay in her ward and instead stayed in the same room with me?"

The bodyguard's mouth twitched, "You and Mr. Li are husband and wife, it is normal for you to be in the same room, who cares what she thinks."

"I saw that he also said that men and women should not touch each other. Isn't that quite sensible?"

"Since you know that men and women shouldn't touch each other, why did you let Ting Shen stay with her?" Gu Mian asked back.

The bodyguard suddenly realized, "Yes, it's normal to let Mr. Li stay with her, but it's not normal for a bodyguard to protect her at the door? What kind of double standard logic is this?"

Gu Mian shook his head helplessly, "It seems that Miss Lan still has some ulterior motives."

"Madam, what are you going to do?"

"It's not a big deal." Gu Mian said calmly, "As long as she doesn't cross my bottom line, I will still treat her as a guest of honor and will definitely repay her."

"But if she keeps staring at Ting Shen, that's another story."

......

The next day.

Gu Mian got up early and made breakfast for Nian Nian.

These days, her focus has been on Li Tingshen, and she has not spent enough time with Nian Nian. The little girl is very resentful and keeps complaining on the phone.

Nian Nian woke up and saw the pig buns made by Gu Mian. She was immediately delighted and said, "Thank you, Mommy. You've worked so hard!"

Gu Mian hugged her and kissed her again and again, "Mommy, don't be tired, let's have breakfast."

"good."

"Mianmian, how is Tingshen?" asked the old lady.

"Much better now. Don't worry, grandma. It's only a matter of time before the blood clot disappears."

"That's good." Madam Li breathed a sigh of relief, "Just stay with Ting Shen. Nian Nian is very well behaved at home, so you don't have to worry."

"I take her to the Ye family to see the little brother every day. She likes the little brother very much and even said that she wants Yihuan to have a little sister to play with."

Gu Mian couldn't help laughing, "Our Nian Nian is a big sister, she will take care of us."

Nian Nian blinked her big, clear eyes and asked, "Mommy, grandma said you were taking care of the bad boy, why didn't the bad boy come to play with me?"

"Daddy is not feeling well and is seeing a doctor in the hospital. He will be home to play with Nian Nian in a few days."

"oh."

Nian Nian asked a question, then turned around and happily ate breakfast.

After breakfast, Gu Mian went to the hospital.

As soon as I arrived at the door of the ward, I saw Lan Jinghao diligently feeding food into Li Tingshen's mouth.

"Xiao Gu, this is the shredded chicken porridge I made for you at five o'clock. Try it."
