Chapter 352 It’s Gu Xingzhi

"Hello." A strange voice came from the other end of the phone. "I'm the cleaner of the mall. I picked up this phone in the stairwell on the first floor below."

The bodyguard rushed over immediately, and the cleaner was already waiting there with his cell phone in hand.

"Where's the owner of the phone?"

"I don't know," the cleaner said, "I just saw the phone on the ground kept ringing, and there was no one next to it."

The bodyguard's face turned pale, "Oh no..."

......

Ye Junlin was in a meeting when he received the news.

He stood up suddenly and said, "How can you not even protect yourself?"

"My wife doesn't like to be high profile, and she is fully armed when she goes out, so she thinks there is no problem."

"Have you searched the mall?"

"We have looked for her, but there is no sign of her. She would not have left her phone behind, so it is highly likely that someone took her away in the stairwell and left her phone there."

"Has the surveillance footage been retrieved?"

"That's what I was going to say." The programmer said anxiously, "Boss Ye, I just checked the mall's surveillance and found that all the surveillance footage from the time of the accident is gone."

"The other party should have been prepared and hacked into the surveillance system to erase all traces."

"MS Group has top hackers who can fix the surveillance, but it takes time. I've asked, and the fastest time is 24 hours. If the other party wants to harm my wife, 24 hours is more than enough."

Ye Junlin closed his eyes. "Even if they hacked into the mall's surveillance, they couldn't have hacked into the entire capital's surveillance. If they want to take Mian Mian away from the mall, they must have used a car."

"Contact the police, call up the Sky Eye system, and track every car that left the mall during that time. Even if it means finding a needle in a haystack, we must find that person in the shortest possible time!"

......

When I woke up from my nap, I could still feel a slight pain in my neck.

She opened her eyes with difficulty, and all she saw was darkness.

A wave of fear swept through all her nerves!

What was even more terrifying was that she found her body was tied up and she couldn't move!

Gu Mian's heart was pounding, but he tried hard to stay calm.

She struggled hard but couldn't get free.

It looked like a quiet escape would be impossible.

Given the current situation, a confrontation with the other party is inevitable.

Thinking of this, Gu Mian shouted, "Someone... help!"

After a while, I suddenly heard footsteps.

The next second, a bright light suddenly appeared in front of him and a door opened.

Gu Mian squinted his eyes due to the sudden light. After he adjusted himself, he opened his eyes and looked at the person who walked in.

He has a tall and straight figure, and looks like a man at first glance.

With the light behind him, Gu Mian couldn't see his appearance clearly for a moment, until he squatted in front of Gu Mian, he could see this handsome and gentle face clearly.

"Who are you?" Gu Mian asked, "Where is this place and why did you kidnap me?"

"Mianmian..."

"Your voice..." Gu Mian's eyes widened, "Is it you?"

This voice belonged to the man who gave her the phone and talked to her secretly.

"Who are you?"

"Gu Xingzhi."

"Gu Xingzhi..." Gu Mian's face turned pale, "You are Gu Xingzhi..."

"It seems that you have heard of me." Gu Xingzhi untied her, "Tell me, who told you... Ye Junlin?"

"He never mentioned you. I just heard about you from the bodyguard by accident."

"What did the bodyguard tell you?"

Gu Mian looked at him and said, "You are crazy and kidnapped Xiao Bao to threaten me. Li Tingshen died with you and fell off the cliff together because of me."

Gu Xingzhi threw the rope on the ground with a smile, "Do you believe it?"

"I don't know." Gu Mian said, "Although I haven't confirmed it with my brother, I don't think the bodyguard has any reason to lie to me."

"He didn't lie to you, but he didn't know the truth."

"Then tell me, what is the inside story?"

"Let's not talk about that." Gu Xingzhi smiled, "Are you hungry? I made you a meal, go eat first."

Gu Mian followed Gu Xingzhi out of the room and found that this was a hidden warehouse.

Walking out, there is a place similar to a B&B, located in the mountains.

The house is decorated in an antique style, is clean and tidy, and has good air, which is very suitable for health preservation.

The yard is full of flowers, there is a small pavilion for drinking tea, and there are many fish in the fish pond.

Gu Xingzhi brought Gu Mian to the restaurant. "The conditions here are limited. It's not like the imperial capital. You have to eat whatever you can."

Gu Mian looked at the three dishes and one soup on the table and said, "It's already very good."

"Sit down and eat." Gu Xingzhi served her a bowl of chicken soup. "I haven't cooked for you in a long time. I wonder if your taste has changed."

Gu Mian took a sip of the chicken soup and said, "It's delicious."

"As long as you like it, eat more."

Gu Mian asked while eating, "Why did you bring me here in this way? What is your purpose?"

Gu Xingzhi smiled and said, "If I don't use this method, will you be willing to go with me?"

Gu Mian did not deny it. "Why did you bring me here?"

"Mianmian, we have been childhood sweethearts. If I hadn't been away from the capital back then, you wouldn't have married Li Tingshen." Gu Xingzhi looked at her, "Now I'm just letting everything go back to square one. You've lost your memory, and everything can start over."

Gu Mian didn't say anything. He lowered his eyes and ate quietly.

"Why don't you say anything?" Gu Xingzhi asked, "Do you think the way I brought you here was too extreme? If so, I apologize."

Gu Mian said, "You mean, I like you, and if it weren't for Li Tingshen, the person I would marry would be you, right?"

"right."

"Even if that's the case, even if I've lost my memory, there's no such thing as a fresh start." Gu Mian said truthfully, "Li Tingshen and I already have a child."

"No matter what happens between him and me, as a mother, I should be responsible for my child. I can't abandon my child and elope with you."

"Mianmian, you don't need to have such a strong sense of responsibility. Nian Nian will live well even without you, and the Li family will not treat her badly." Gu Xing knew, "I just hope you give yourself a chance and ask yourself what kind of life you want to live."

"If you want to go back to being the president's wife, I will never stop you."

Gu Mian said nothing more and continued to eat with his head down.

After dinner, Gu Xingzhi sent her to a room and said, "You will stay here for the time being. If you need anything, you can tell me."

"Um."

Gu Xingzhi closed the door and left.

Without his cell phone, Gu Mian had no idea where he was and had no way to contact the outside world.

She felt a little dizzy, so she lay down on the bed and fell asleep quickly.

When I woke up again, it was almost dark.

Gu Mian got up, opened the door and went out.

The evening in the mountains is a natural oxygen bar, and the air is so fresh that it makes people feel refreshed.

Gu Mian came to the yard, took some fish food to feed the fish, and watered the flowers. He was busy and happy.

Gu Xingzhi stood behind her without knowing when, "Mianmian."

Gu Mian turned around and asked, "What's wrong?"

"Nothing, how did you sleep?"

"fine."

"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll make it for you."

"I can do anything."

"Then I'll watch and do it...you come and help?"

"good."

The two of them came to the kitchen and Gu Mian helped to choose the vegetables.

"Mr. Gu..."

"Just call me Xingzhi. That's what you used to call me."

Gu Mian changed his tone, "Xingzhi, although I can see that you have no intention of hurting me, my brother will definitely be worried if you bring me here like this."

Gu Xingzhi was cutting vegetables. "I will find a way to tell him that you are safe."

Gu Mian wanted to say something but stopped himself.

"Mianmian." Gu Xingzhi turned his head and looked at her. "Now that it has come, you should make the best of it. You must believe that I will never hurt you."

Gu Mian readily agreed, "I understand."

......

Imperial capital.

The hackers at the program's disposal resumed surveillance.

From the surveillance footage, we can see that it was a man in black wearing a hat and a mask who took Gu Mian away.

He carried the unconscious Gu Mian into a car and immediately drove away from the mall.

According to the SkyEye system's tracking, the car headed straight for the suburbs after leaving the mall, and soon left the surveillance range and could no longer be tracked.

"Damn it!" Chengxu was so angry that his face turned black. "He had a plan in advance to take my wife away!"

"It's Gu Xingzhi." Ye Junlin stared at the figure on the screen, "He's still alive."

"Mr. Ye, are you sure?"

"From his figure and the way he walked, we can basically tell."

The programmer took a closer look and said, "His height and build are similar to Mr. Li. He really does look like Gu Xingzhi!"

Ye Junlin sighed, "Gu Xingzhi came back alive, evaded the tracking of the Sky Eye System, and has been secretly planning to take Mianmian away."

"Mr. Ye, is your wife in danger?"

Ye Junlin shook his head. "What he wanted was Ting Shen's life, not my sister's."

The programmer subconsciously turned his head and looked at Li Tingshen who was standing beside him.

The man's sharp jawline was tense, and no emotion could be seen on his handsome face, but the program could feel the chill flowing through him.

Li Ting stared at the surveillance footage that was playing in a continuous loop.

The stairwells in the mall are monitored.

In the picture, a figure who looked very similar to him walked into the stairwell and hid in the darkness.

Gu Mian followed soon after.

The man quietly appeared behind Gu Mian and stabbed him in the neck with the syringe in his hand. Gu Mian soon passed out.

She did not fall to the ground. The man supported her, picked her up and carried her directly to the parking lot.

It seems that Gu Mian was not injured.

But a hint of anger still crept up uncontrollably on Li Tingshen's handsome face!

Especially when he saw that the man was very cautious about sleeping with her, he felt extremely uncomfortable!

"Who is Gu Xingzhi?"

Li Ting asked through gritted teeth.

Xu Cheng glanced at Ye Junlin subconsciously, and seeing that he didn't say anything, he immediately reported to Li Tingshen the relationship between Gu Xingzhi, the Li family and Gu Mian.

Li Tingshen felt more and more uncomfortable the more he listened, "...So he is my half brother?"

"Yes."

"What is his purpose in taking Gu Mian away this time?" Li Ting asked coldly, "To threaten me and want me to die?"

"Mr. Ye suspected that Gu Xingzhi was responsible for your and your wife's amnesia. Now it seems that this suspicion is more likely," the programmer said. "But if he knew that you and your wife both had amnesia, how could he think that you would be willing to sacrifice your life to save your wife? So I think his purpose is not here."

"Xu Cheng is right." Ye Junlin said, "Gu Xingzhi's purpose is not here. After he came back to life, he might have some other ideas."

"Although all he has been doing is seeking revenge, I think he has his own agenda."

"Perhaps after his resurrection, what he wants most is no longer revenge, but... love."

"......"

The programmer felt that after Ye Junlin finished speaking, Li Tingshen's face became even uglier.

Mr. Li, are you...jealous?

Of course, I don’t dare to ask the procedure.

He looked at Ye Junlin hesitantly, "Mr. Ye, Gu Xingzhi will not... bully your wife, right?"

Ye Junlin curled his lips, "If a man wants to have a woman for a long time, forcing her is the stupidest way."

"And Gu Xingzhi has his own pride. I believe he won't force himself to sleep."

"That's good."

"But no matter what, we must find them as soon as possible and bring Mianmian back."

The programmer nodded. "I have already assigned more people to conduct a comprehensive search."

......

In the evening, Gu Xingzhi knocked on Gu Mian's door and said, "Mianmian, I have prepared some clothes for you to change into."

"That's what I wanted to tell you, thank you."

Gu Mian went to the bathroom, took a shower, changed into clean clothes, and took the clothes he took off to the laundry room to wash.

"Let me do it." Gu Xingzhi came over after hearing the voice. "Your hands are used to heal illnesses and save lives, you shouldn't do this."

"No need." Gu Mian said, "It would be more convenient for me to wash the underwear myself."

Gu Xingzhi didn't force it, he leaned against the wall and looked at her, "Mianmian, it's been a long time since we have been able to sit quietly like this."

"Can you tell me about our past?" Gu Mian asked, "I'm actually quite curious."

"Okay, let me start from the time when my mother and I wandered around and were finally rescued by my grandmother at the doorstep of your house."

"good."

"Actually, to be precise, it was you who saved us." Gu Xingzhi's eyes were filled with bitterness as memories flooded his mind. "That day, my mother collapsed at the door of your house. You happened to be in the yard and came out when you heard the noise."

"That was the first time we looked into each other's eyes. I'm not afraid of you laughing at me, but I was still young at that time and didn't understand what that look meant."

"I only realized when I grew up that it was love at first sight. Perhaps from that moment on, our relationship could no longer be as pure as friends and family."

It’s just a pity that he has to bear the burden of his mother’s death.

He will never feel at peace in his life unless he seeks revenge on the Li family.

That's why they pass each other in two directions and then get further and further away.

Gu Mian continued washing clothes. "And then?"

"Then, my grandmother took me and my mother in. We grew up together and knew everything."

It was precisely because they could talk about anything that he was the first to know that Gu Mian had fallen in love with a boy.

That day he ran around the town like a madman, constantly asking himself, why?

Why did the Li family take away everything from him!

Even the only ray of light in his life was about to be snatched away by Li Tingshen!

He has lost everything, family affection, love, all gone!

He has nothing and doesn't even have the courage to live, so he has to rely on revenge as his motivation!
