"Ganxi Village? What is she going there for?"
"What she does is none of your business! You want to find her, right? Go ahead! Coward! I think the only stubborn thing about you is your mouth!"
After Juliana finished speaking, she hung up the phone.
Liao Nanxing held his phone, his knuckles turning white.
"If she goes to some remote, deserted mountain forest at this time, isn't that just giving them an opportunity to strike?" As he spoke, he dialed Zhou Chunhua's number again, but the call still couldn't be connected.
It was obvious that Zhou Chunhua had blocked his new number again.
A mechanical female voice came from the phone: "Please call back later."
In my mind, Juliana's words, "coward," kept playing on repeat.
Liao Nanxing tucked his phone away, steeled his resolve, grabbed his car keys, and headed for the parking lot.
He wanted to prove to Juliana and Zhou Chunhua that he was not a coward! He could try to win back Zhou Chunhua.
All the way there, he kept thinking that Zhou Chunhua must have just left. If he drove faster, he might be able to catch up with her before she reached Ganxi Village.
Therefore, he quickened his pace and jogged to the car.
"Yes! As long as we can stop her before she reaches Ganxi Village, she should be safe."
Liao Nanxing started the car, talking to himself.
But before he even turned the steering wheel, a voice kept telling him: What if he can't catch up with her before she gets there? Does he... really have to chase her into the mountains?
"No, no!" Liao Nanxing slammed on the brakes and came to a stop.
"Even if I chase him into the mountains, what good will it do? That's the She family, one of the four great families! I've long heard that She Yunjiang made his fortune by profiting from human blood."
She Yalan is a notorious femme fatale! What she wants is Zhou Chunhua's life! I have neither a gun nor any manpower, how can I fight She Yalan?
So… my pursuit all the way to Ganxi Village was completely pointless! I need to find someone! Someone who can help Zhou Chunhua!
With that thought in mind, Liao Nanxing stepped on the gas and drove off in the opposite direction after leaving the parking lot.
Half an hour later, Liao Nanxing arrived at Qin Donglai's office door in a flurry of activity.
He had inquired about it when he came in. He was told that Qin Donglai was in a meeting and that he should wait at the office door.
This wait lasted for more than two hours.
It was almost one o'clock when Qin Donglai finally came out of the conference room.
"Director Qin!" Liao Nanxing rushed forward: "Director Qin, hello, I am Liao Nanxing, Zhou Chunhua's husband. I need your help."
Upon hearing that it was Zhou Chunhua's lover, Qin Donglai immediately took out his key, opened the office door, and invited him in.
"No rush, sit down and we'll talk slowly." Qin Donglai took out his tea leaves, brewed a cup, and placed it next to Liao Nanxing.
Liao Nanxing immediately said, "Director Qin, She Yalan has returned to China, and Zhou Chunhua is in danger! I heard she went to Ganxi Village. Please find a way to stop her."
Qin Donglai looked on with confusion upon hearing this.
He couldn't help but scrutinize the man in front of him.
If he were Zhou Chunhua's lover, how could he not know that Zhou Chunhua was accompanied on this trip?
Moreover, the four people he chose were handpicked from the group.
However, the man named Liao Nanxing in front of them clearly did not know that Zhou Chunhua was accompanied by his men.
That means Zhou Chunhua didn't tell him.
"You...are you really Zhou Chunhua's lover?" Qin Donglai finally asked.
After all, the current situation is chaotic, so it's best to be careful.
Liao Nanxing's expression froze, and he stammered as he changed his words: "I...I am her ex-husband. But, Director Qin, please believe me, She Yalan really intends to harm Zhou Chunhua! Please, find a way to stop her, whatever you do, don't let her go to Ganxi Village!"
Qin Donglai laughed when he heard this.
If She Yalan really wanted to do something to Zhou Chunhua, how could he possibly know?
It seems that this was just Liao Nanxing's own imagination.
“Um… Mr. Liao, Ms. Zhou is accompanied by someone on her trip to Ganxi Village. You can rest assured. If there’s nothing else, I have other matters to attend to, so please leave now.”
Liao Nanxing stood there, stunned.
No wonder!
No wonder Gu Yao was so calm and composed in the hospital.
So, Qin Donglai's men were next to Zhou Chunhua.
Then what else does he have to worry about!
Coming to his senses, he awkwardly stood up, exchanged a few pleasantries, and left Qin Donglai's office.
He got angrier and angrier the more he thought about it.
Not only did I waste my whole day, but I also made a fool of myself like a clown!
I got into the car in a huff, and then my phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Nanxing? Where are you? I've arrived in Qing'an."
"Mom? What are you doing here?"
Liao Nanxing, recognizing Xu Xiuzhen's voice, exclaimed in surprise.
Xu Xiuzhen on the other end was unhappy and muttered, "I'm not coming? If I'm not coming, when are you going to take Nini back?"
"Mom! We need Zhou Chunhua's permission to pick up Nini! I'm trying to communicate with her, aren't I?"
"Communication? What communication? I need her consent to pick up my granddaughter? Are you kidding me! Nanxing, remember this: once a woman has a child, as long as she controls the child, she won't dare to disobey."
You want her back, right? Let me tell you, even if we have to forcibly take her away, we'll get Nini first. Then she'll come running back on her own.
Listen to your mother, would I ever hurt you? Hurry up, I'll send you my location, come pick me up quickly. Then we'll go see Nini together.
Kids are so easy to please. Take her out for a nice meal, buy her some fun toys, and take her to the amusement park, and she'll definitely be on your side.
"When the time comes, all she has to do is say she wants her father. Knowing Zhou Chunhua's personality, she'll definitely bring up remarriage. But let me tell you, remarriage is fine, but she absolutely cannot have control of the finances! Understand? Okay, I'll send you my location, come over right now."
After hanging up the phone, Liao Nanxing received the location information.
He slapped his forehead in frustration, but still drove off.
When we picked up the old lady, she immediately asked about Zhou Chunhua and Nini as soon as she got in the car.
Liao Nanxing did not hide anything and told the truth that Zhou Chunhua had not gone to Ganxi Village, and that Nini was in the hospital with Gu Yao.
The old lady immediately became unhappy: "Zhou Chunhua is not fit to be a mother! Nini is a girl, how can she let a strange man take care of her?"
What if that man did something to Nini? Wouldn't that ruin the child's life? Wait! What did you just say? Zhou Chunhua went to Ganxi Village?
That...that's the human traffickers' hideout, isn't it? What's she doing there? You...you're not thinking of going there to find her, are you? Nanxing, don't be silly!
I heard they didn't catch them all back then. Who knows if they're hiding in the mountains? You absolutely mustn't go!
Liao Nanxing remained silent.
But Xu Xiuzhen, who had been keeping a long face, suddenly had a glint in her eyes.
"What are you standing there for? Let's go!"
"Where are you going?"
"Of course we're going to pick up Nini! Zhou Chunhua isn't here, so we're Nini's guardians! Let's take this opportunity to get her away! Hurry! Let's go!"
