His moon
Yu Li was unable to attend Flora's tea party after all.
Something happened to Choi Taek. The news spread from Gitan to the country and then to Yu Li. The two bought the fastest plane tickets to Gitan, only to meet one of Choi Taek's assistants.
Or maybe he was injured while escaping and was kicked out of the car by Cui Ze. The assistant's leg was limping: "There are two groups chasing us. One is from Cao Yujing, and the other is not clear yet."
The assistant dragged his injured foot with a worried look on his face. Cui Ze kicked him down not because he thought he was a burden because of his injury, but because he wanted him to pass on the message and get treatment at the same time. Now that Yu Li is here, he should be relieved, but the other party's methods are brutal. He dare not imagine what will happen to Cui Ze now.
15 hours have passed since the incident.
Yu Li hadn't rested since she landed. She didn't show any emotion when she listened to her assistant's words, but just asked the assistant to describe the whole process in detail again.
The assistant himself was puzzled: "Because we were trying to attract investment, we went straight to meet Shin Eun-gi after landing. The boss talked to him for two hours, and Shin Eun-gi even treated the boss to a meal. There were no problems so far."
"After leaving the restaurant, we were about to head back to the hotel to rest. Along the way, we heard a legend about the altar guarded by Giddens. The boss wanted to check it out, so we changed our route. But halfway through, someone caught up with us. The boss said they were Cao Yujing's men. There were three cars and a dozen people in total. It wouldn't have been difficult to deal with them, but then another group showed up from behind. They were highly skilled and well-equipped, and we couldn't defeat them."
Zitan is not a very safe country. There are religions, political parties and underground forces here. It is not uncommon for residents here to see chases and murders on the road. They just need to call the police and wait for the results.
Choi Taek came here to discuss cooperation with Shin Eun-ki. In addition to Jitan, Shin Eun-ki also has to travel to other countries, and Cao Yujing is eyeing him covetously behind the scenes. Choi Taek can't wait. Considering Jitan's situation, he brought a security team with him, but after all, they are not here to fight, and there are only more than ten people in total.
Half of the people who were fighting against Cao Yujing and his men were already used up, and with the arrival of another powerful group, it was almost impossible for them to escape unscathed.
"We were able to find you directly. Did your itinerary get exposed?" Yu Li asked. Even though they changed their route, they were still caught up by Cao Yujing's men. This only meant that they had been targeted since they got off the plane.
No, I was targeted in the capital.
The assistant nodded shakily: "It seems so at the moment."
But it is hard to tell whereabouts. We are not like the ancient kings who have regulations prohibiting the discovery of whereabouts. In the information age, nothing is completely confidential.
"Besides Cho Yu-kyung, who else has Choi Taek gotten into trouble with recently?"
The assistant thought for a long time and shook his head. It cannot be said that he has no enemies, but they are not to the extent of being hunted across borders.
Yu Li quieted down.
The assistant didn't dare to speak. He also sent a message to Choi Sang-won. His only son was being hunted in a foreign country. No matter how heartless Choi Sang-won was, he couldn't just ignore it. He was already on the plane rushing over.
The empty room was silent. After an unknown amount of time, Yu Li's phone rang. She glanced at the caller ID and walked over to answer it. "Aaricia? Are you done with your work?"
Aaricia? The assistant was unfamiliar with the name and looked at Zheng Zhihe blankly. Why were they still reminiscing about the past at this time?
Zheng Zhihe said disdainfully: "Aaricia, find out what she represents in this country! You have a pig brain!"
It would be strange if Cui Ze didn't get into trouble with an assistant like this.
The assistant felt a little aggrieved. He had a very high IQ and was particularly sensitive to data. He was good at work but not good at escaping!
When I checked, my eyes widened: "A royal princess?"
Jitan is not a domestic country, so the locals definitely have the greatest influence. Yu Li directly asked Aaricia to help her find Cui Ze's whereabouts. With Aaricia's protection, even if Cui Ze was really caught, the people who caught him did not dare to act rashly.
——On the premise that it can be discussed.
There is no point in negotiating with an opponent who wants nothing but his life.
As night fell, everything in Zitan was shrouded in a veil. On one side were the bright lights and feasting, and on the other side was the quietly flowing Ilyana River. Yu Li stood on the balcony in a daze for a long time.
Assistant Choi Taek thought that the daze was due to worry. When he went to see Choi Sang-won, he kept praising Yu Li: "I asked the princess for help. I was so worried that I couldn't eat or sleep. If it weren't for everyone watching, I would have cried. She is indeed someone the boss cares about."
Cui Shangyuan:?
Are you talking about Kwon Woo-ri? Not Choi Taek's secret lover?
It feels like seeing a ghost.
The next morning, still with no news, Yuli and Choi Sang-won met up for a tasteless breakfast. Remembering what his assistant had said the previous night, Choi Sang-won hesitantly offered comfort, "Yuli, don't give up on Choi Taek. He'll be fine."
As an old father, he can still sit still.
Yu Li raised her head and saw a hair sticking up on Choi Sang-won's head. She was so anxious that she didn't even have the mood to take care of her hair, but she had to divert her attention to care about her. It was really difficult for Choi Sang-won.
"I'm not worried. He will definitely come back safely. But uncle, please take care of yourself."
I don’t know if older people have heart disease.
Choi Sang-won responded and felt that the old saying was right: a friend in need is a friend indeed. The fact that Yu Li could come directly to Jitan at this time showed that she had feelings for Choi Ze. What he had seen more often was people running away when disaster struck.
But to be honest, it's not the time for everyone to run away when disaster strikes.
He didn't quite believe what the assistant said.
After dinner, Yu Li went to see Aaricia. When you are in someone else's territory, you must pay them a visit, not to mention asking them to help find someone.
Aaricia had met Choi Taek before. Last year, during her winter vacation, Yu Li specially made a stopover to visit Jitan and brought Choi Taek with her. When she heard that the two families had decided to get married, Aaricia also gave her blessings.
She doesn't think about her friend's man, she only remembers that he has a good face.
"I remember you said he was very capable." Aaricia said, telling Yu Li not to worry. "You should trust him."
Believe it? Yu Li curled her lips.
Credit bankruptcy is a really distressing thing.
By noon, they finally got some news. After reading it, Aaricia told Yu Li that this might be related to the Bear Gang: "It's an underground force. They originally developed next door, and in recent years, there are signs of moving to Zitan. Honey, how did Cui Ze offend them?"
How could there be any connection between people who are thousands of miles away from each other, separated by mountains and seas?
Bear party? Gao Taizhuo?
They finally realized what was happening. After Gao Taizhuo was dealt with, they thought the matter was over. The prosecutor's office also found out the connection between Gao Taizhuo and the Xiong Party, but it was impossible for them to challenge foreign forces just for him. The Xiong Party did not show any reaction when Gao Taizhuo was detained or even sentenced. They all thought that the Xiong Party had given up on Gao Taizhuo.
It is impossible for the Quan family to confront foreign forces. This is not a TV drama.
The results are waiting here.
The Bear Party is related to Gao Taizhuo, Quella.
According to information obtained from previous investigations, after the death of the Bear Gang boss, his younger brother took over. Because he respected his elder brother very much, his sister-in-law Quella also benefited. As long as Quella did not make any mistakes in principle, she could do whatever she wanted.
Gao Suyan found out that Gao Taizhu had been following Quella since he saved her. Was Quella seeking revenge for Gao Taizhu by targeting Choi Taek? After all, Gao Taizhu said it himself that his hatred for Choi Taek was so deep that he constantly wanted to return to the capital to settle the score.
"Did they catch Cui Ze?" Yu Li stared at Aaricia, her brows furrowed unconsciously. If they caught her, she would be in for a rough time.
"They arrested a group of people. I wonder if Cui Ze was among them." There was no way a photo could have been taken in this situation. Aaricia felt the probability was high. "Because they were all foreigners, they were able to find out so quickly."
"I can arrange for someone to negotiate with the other party."
Yu Li thought about it and did not refuse. This was not her territory and the Bear Gang would not listen to her. She did not need Aaricia to make any big sacrifices. As long as she could communicate with the person in charge of the other side, it would be fine. As for whether the person could be rescued, she would do it herself.
"Don't worry, baby." Aaricia comforted Yu Li again. This matter was neither big nor small. The small thing was that this was in Zitan after all, and she still had a say. The big thing was that given the current situation, they could not cause more unrest.
Yu Li smiled, said goodbye to Aaricia after lunch, and after returning to the hotel, she exchanged some information with Choi Sang-won, and then they went back to their respective rooms.
Choi Sang-won was busy dealing with Cho Yu-kyung. It was impossible that his son's life or death was uncertain while Cho Yu-kyung was reaping the spoils in the country. If Choi Ze couldn't come back, he would tie Cho Yu-kyung to Yutai and let Cho Yu-kyung and his Yutai project fly to the sky.
For the first time in so many years, he began to reflect on whether he was too harsh on Cui Ze. Other heirs had family help in starting their own businesses, but Cui Ze did not. Not only did he not provide help, he also often robbed Cui Ze.
"Oh my god." Choi Sang-won knocked his head and sighed for a long time.
Yu Li called Gao Zhuyan. Classes had already ended in China. When the call came, Gao Zhuyan had just returned to his rented house to prepare for dinner. He and Pei Haocheng had become good friends in the eyes of their classmates at Capital University and lived together.
At that time, he complained that Pei Haocheng put too much salt in the dish he cooked: "Aren't doctors the most precise? Why is there so much extra salt? Is that the hand you hold the scalpel?"
Pei Haocheng was no less impressed: "I told you to go to Peidu Hospital if you have a taste problem. This tastes just right. Didn't you eat good food as a child?"
Gao Zhuyan retorted: "You just haven't eaten good food, poor thing—"
The cell phone rang. Seeing it was Yu Li, he picked it up. Without listening to a few words, he opened his computer and only said "I know" when he heard the last word.
"What's wrong?" Pei Haocheng asked.
Gao Zhuyan felt like laughing but also a little distressed: "It seems our information is correct. Something has happened to Cui Ze."
But he still has to do his part to save Cui Ze, Axi.
Pei Haocheng raised his eyebrows. If Cui Ze died, Quan Yuli would have to find a new marriage partner, but he didn't know who it would be.
"You didn't mean to make him disappear." He kicked Gao Zhuyan's foot. "Now's your chance."
If some wrong information is given, Cui Ze might never be able to return to his country.
Gao Zhuyan leaned over from his computer and stared at Pei Haocheng for a long time. Without his glasses, the malice in his eyes was clear: "It's not just me who wants him to disappear. We all know it."
He, like Bae Haocheng, hoped that everyone around Quan Yuli would disappear, but that possibility only existed on the day the world ended. If he dared to kill Choi Taek now, Quan Yuli would return and bury him with her. Then, after Choi Taek died and he was kicked out by Quan Yuli, the only one who would benefit was Bae Haocheng, the bastard.
Compared to Choi Taek disappearing and staying with Kwon Wook-ri, it is more important to stay with Kwon Wook-ri.
Tsk, I didn't trick him. Pei Haocheng shrugged and took a bottle of drink from the refrigerator and unscrewed it. There was nothing he could do. When Cui Ze came back, he could provide the best treatment plan.
Yes, no one thinks that Cui Ze will not come back.
Zitan, night has fallen again.
When Aaricia sent a message saying that she had contacted Gerald, the current leader of the Bear Gang, Yu Li also received the documents sent by Gao Zhuyan.
Gerald said that Quella was his sister-in-law, a very nice person who would not resort to violence rashly. If even she was angered, then the person who provoked her would only suffer the consequences.
What it means is that you don’t want to care, or if you can care, you have to pay a price.
Human lives cannot be saved just by talking.
Yu Li didn't reply immediately. She opened the file, which contained a detailed introduction to Quella and the Bear Party.
The reason why the Bear Gang respects Quella is because of how much Gerald's brother values his wife. The eldest brother chased someone for two years in order to be with Quella, and later he risked his life to save Quella several times. A few years ago, they were attacked by their enemies, and without his help, Quella would not have escaped.
It is hard to imagine that such sincere love would appear in a gang leader. In short, because the eldest brother loves Quella very much, Gerald treats her well.
Gao Taizhuo is Quella's savior. He has little say in the Bear Party and mostly follows Quella around. Quella often says that she and her husband have no children, and Gao Taizhuo is like her child.
Gao Taizhuo was only sixteen years old when they first met.
Quella, who is almost fifty, and Gao Taizhuo, who is twenty?
This world is absurd. Compared to mother and son, Yu Li would rather guess in another direction.
Gao Zhuyan skipped the morning class and rushed to find what Yu Li wanted. When he received the evidence, Yu Li was having breakfast with Choi Sang Won.
She put down her spoon and clicked on a video. An ambiguous voice suddenly filled the room. Assistant Cui Ze and Zheng Zhihe on the side were stunned. They lowered their heads and dared not look at Cui Shangyuan's expression.
Yu Li raised her head from the computer and met Choi Sang-won's gaze.
…She was a little impatient.
Clicking pause, she explained, "I'll ask someone to help find the evidence so I can exchange Cui Ze with the Bear Party."
Yu Li looked calm, but Choi Sang Won felt embarrassed. It was all for Choi Taek, so he could accept anything no matter how weird it was.
"I've also contacted some local people." He wiped the corner of his mouth and said lightly, "If your way can't get Cui Ze back, then use my way."
A way to see blood.
Yu Li agreed, and after sorting out some things, she contacted Aaricia. Aaricia didn't need to do anything extra, she just needed to help her convey a message to Gerald.
"Green grassland has grown on your eldest brother's grave."
Aaricia received the message:?
Gerald received the message:?
At first, the two of them didn't quite understand what this meant. Was it normal for grass to grow on graves? Fearing that his eldest brother's grave had been tampered with, Gerald sent someone back to take a look. The person came back and reported: "Big brother's grave has always been managed by someone, and there's not a single blade of grass, let alone grassland."
Why the hell did he say that to him? Gerald was furious in the room. "Is this a provocation? Are you going to blow up my brother's grave if he doesn't let me go?"
The wife's eyes rolled when she heard this. She was a very elegant-looking lady, no older than 30 years old, and her impression on others was always that of being "gentle" and "weak".
He stepped forward and took Gerald's arm: "Maybe it doesn't mean Big Brother's grave."
Gerald looked at her suspiciously.
She nuzzled Gerald's shoulder, and Gerald, delighted, ruffled her hair. She looked at him and said, "When I was traveling, I heard a saying that green grassland doesn't really refer to green grass, but to betrayal."
what?
Gerald understood something.
He has always been very good to Quella.
His chest heaving, filled with suspicion and anger, he paced back and forth in the room several times and asked to meet with Yu Li.
The meeting was quickly arranged, and Choi Sang-won went on behalf of Yu Li. It was a joke. Meeting with a gang boss could lead to bloodshed if one was not careful. He was not so cruel as to let his son's fiancée have sex with him.
Yu Li handed all the evidence to Choi Sang-won. It was something Go Soo-yeon had found on Quella's computer. Quella was really getting more extravagant as she got older. "Not only is there a video of Quella cheating on Go Tae-joo, but there are also chat logs of Quella trying to win over Gerald's people behind his back. One of these two things is bound to interest Gerald."
It seems reasonable for the brother's wife to fall in love after his death. After all, Quella is greedy for power and pretends to be loyal. Not only does he pretend, he also wants to monopolize the family inheritance.
Cui Shangyuan nodded and took the things away. He came back at ten o'clock in the evening with no joy on his face.
Cui Ze's assistant was stunned. The negotiations failed? This shouldn't be the case.
Yu Li pondered for a few seconds before answering: "Is Cui Ze not in Quella's hands?"
Choi Sang-won sighed: "Quella did capture Choi Taek's people. She has all the people Choi Taek brought with her, except Choi Taek."
Gerald had already released the person. He was busy going home to deal with Quella and had no time to care whether Cui Ze was there or not. He didn't catch the person, and he didn't even know what Cui Ze looked like.
"Cui Ze's people were seriously injured. I have sent them to the hospital." Cui Shangyuan said, sitting down on the sofa, not knowing whether to give Yu Li a shot or to give himself a shot.
According to those people's reports, Cui Ze was also badly injured when they were captured. He escaped alone in an unfamiliar place, and no one could say how long he could hold on.
67 hours have passed.
We can only ask people to search around Jitan.
Yu Li just said "I understand" and went upstairs.
Bear Party, Quella's room.
The scene was in chaos. Gerald grabbed Quella's hair and shouted, "Look at me! I can't believe you were crying in front of me during the day because you missed Big Brother, and then at night you were hanging out with that bastard. Can he satisfy you? How many people have you been hiding from Big Brother?"
After saying that, I thought, maybe I had betrayed my eldest brother a long time ago, when he was still alive.
He became even more enraged, flipping over Quella and slapping her twice. "How dare you covet my position? Do you know that you can sleep peacefully with that bastard because I'm out there fighting! B**ch!"
Quella felt her brain buzzing and she couldn't react at all. How was she discovered? She was hiding very well and had set up layer upon layer of computer protection. Or was it that Gao Taizhuo left traces and was discovered?
I dazedly heard a woman's voice: "So the reason they captured a group of foreigners was to avenge Gao? OMG, Quella, you actually love Gao so much?"
It was Gerald's delicate wife. Quella opened her eyes and said, "B**ch! It's you!"
Gerald slapped Quella again and had him taken away, cursing angrily.
"I can't understand why women should just stay at home and eat my food and use my things, yet they still want to take my place."
Turning his head to look at his wife, he warned, "You're not going to be like Quella, are you?"
The wife's eyes turned red with fear: "Do you doubt me?"
Looking at his wife's thin body, Gerald put aside his suspicion and walked forward to hug her in his arms: "Baby, I mean you just need to listen to me and go shopping, watch shows, and travel. These are what you should do."
The wife nodded quickly: "You know I only know this much. Everything I have is given by you."
Gerald was satisfied.
No one noticed the coldness in his wife's eyes. In fact, not only did Quella want to kick Gerald out as the leader of the Bear Clan, she also wanted Quella to always oppose her. If someone was willing to help her deal with Quella, and she only needed to say a few words, she would be happy to see it happen.
Stupid, women should stay at home? Sooner or later, I will send you to reunite with that arrogant big brother!
Late at night, by the Ilyana River, Yu Li quietly listened to the sound of flowing water.
The only clue was lost, so we could only conduct a carpet search. Cui Ze was injured and no one knew where he would be hiding.
She opened the chat box and the page stopped at the latest location sent by Cui Ze, which was the largest guardian altar in Zitan. At first, she thought Cui Ze was here, but after listening to the assistant, she realized that Cui Ze was attacked on the way to the altar.
Just in case, the altar was searched several times, but there was no sign of Cui Ze.
The hem of her skirt was blown up by the wind, and Zheng Zhihe took her coat and put it on Yu Li. The night in Jitan was not warm, and she was afraid that Yu Li would get sick.
After a long pause, Yu Li asked, "What does the guardian altar of Zidane say?"
She had never taken the initiative to learn about the customs of this small place, and Aaricia had never taken her there.
Zheng Zhihe had specifically looked it up on the day she arrived, and wasn't the least bit flustered when asked about it: "It's a very old legend. Young people nowadays basically don't believe it, and the older generation doesn't really care."
"To put it simply, the goddess Ganarsha prayed to the heavens to resurrect her deceased lover. She knelt three times and kowtowed nine times in sincere prayer before the altar she built. She persisted for many years, regardless of weather conditions, and finally her wish was fulfilled."
"It's said that after her death, she became a deity, blessing all those who shared the same experience as her. Gradually, as her followers grew, the scope of her protection expanded, no longer limited to loved ones. As long as you pray sincerely, she can help you realize your wish."
"Believers built countless altars for her, calling her the patron saint of ancient times. Their worship was to kowtow once every 100 meters in front of the altar, until they knelt perfectly at its foot. However, faith gradually faded over time, and the altars collapsed one after another. Currently, only five altars remain in all of Zitan."
"It's too old, so people only renovate the largest one and introduce it to tourists as a tourist attraction. But you know, this kind of thing exists in every country, so it's not very popular."
There are more famous worship sites in Jitan.
"I see." Yu Li only replied with this sentence. There was nothing special about her tone, just as ordinary as "I'm hungry, I'm sleepy."
Zheng Zhihe couldn't figure out what Yu Li meant, nor did she understand why Cui Ze wanted to go to such a tourist attraction. Cui Ze didn't seem like someone who would be interested in these things.
Suddenly, Yu Li stood up and took her hand away from the fence. She asked Zheng Zhihe, "Where are the other four altars?"
Zheng Zhihe was stunned.
Yu Li: "Search around these altars. Don't miss any of the surrounding towns or villages."
Zheng Zhihe's eyes lit up and she quickly responded. The next second she rushed out to call for help.
Yu Li leaned against the fence, not knowing whether this idea was right or not. If she couldn't find it even this way, it would be a dangerous situation.
More than seventy hours have passed.
The phone in my pocket started ringing. It was Zheng Ruizhen calling: "Because you said you would contact you as soon as you found the results, I didn't pay attention to the time."
It’s time to go to bed in the early morning.
Yu Li didn't care about this: "Did you find out?"
Zheng Ruizhen said "hmm". Cui Ze was very thoughtful and had several people following her in turns. It was no wonder that she caught the person only now.
"We arrested two of them and compared their statements, and found that—"
He hesitated to speak.
Yu Li said with a cold face: "What did you find?"
Jung Seo-jin: "There was a timing issue. The surveillance only started in July last year and ended after the Yeon Hye-jun incident."
"And some others..."
The moon in Jitan was round and bright tonight. Yu Li raised her head as she listened to the detailed report on the other end of the phone.
The moonlight is beautiful, hanging high in the sky, so high that it can be covered by one hand, making it seem within reach.
However, everyone knows that the moon is too far away and cannot be touched no matter how high you stretch your hands.
Cui Ze retracted his right hand. He was lying on the roof, with wounds of various sizes on his body. There were medicine and gauze beside him. He had just finished a dressing change.
His mind was empty and his eyes were staring at the sky without blinking.
Will his moon come to him?
