Chen Zhihe's driver had arrived early to pick them up. Seeing that the boss and guests had disembarked, he asked, "Boss, where are we going now?"
Li Zhiyi yawned, looking at the sky, which was still dark. It would take time to get from the seaside to the city, and there was no rush to find someone. Because he hadn't rested well, he was still a little sleepy. Li Zhiyi was about to speak.
Gu Siye took the initiative to say, "Let's go back to the hotel first. There's no rush to find someone."
"Okay, let's turn around and head to the hotel."
No one spoke during the drive, because Gu Nianzhi and Li Zhiyi had both fallen asleep again, and it was clear that they were indeed tired.
Li Zhi was fast asleep and hadn't woken up when they arrived at the hotel. Chen Zhihe looked at Fu Yanche and said, "Let's go, the two of us will go into the hotel first."
Fu Yanche asked, somewhat confused, "Why?" before Chen Zhihe forcibly pulled him out of the car.
Chen Zhihe's driver was also a shrewd person. Seeing his boss like this, he made an excuse: "I'm going down to buy a pack of cigarettes." He immediately got out of the car and walked away.
Gu Nianzhi woke up and saw that her sister-in-law was still asleep and her brother was still in the car, seemingly lost in thought. In a bad mood, she didn't ask any questions and got out of the car to go back to the hotel first.
Gu Siye watched as everyone left, leaving only him and Li Zhizhi in the car. Looking at her sleeping face, so different from her lively self, she no longer had that aloofness and coldness that kept people at arm's length. Instead, she looked cute and serene. He thought for a moment and wondered if he should carry her out of the car.
As soon as he got close to her, Li Zhiyi suddenly opened his eyes and asked sleepily, "What's wrong? Where are we?"
"Yes, I just arrived at the hotel."
Li Zhiyi got out of the car in a daze. Seeing that he was still sitting in the car doing something, he turned around and asked, "You actually came back to the hotel? Aren't you sleepy? What are you still doing sitting in the car?"
For the first time, Gu Siye felt cowardly. He was a little angry at his own awkwardness. Why could a young master of the fish clan openly express his love, while he always hesitated and made excuses?
For the first time, he didn't understand himself and felt that he was such a contradictory person.
Seeing that he didn't speak, Li Zhi said, "Hey, Young Master Gu, I'm talking to you."
Do you have someone you like?
Li Zhiyi stood there stunned for a long time before he reacted: "What do you mean by that?"
"nothing."
As soon as he asked the question, he regretted it, feeling that he had been too impulsive. His face was burning, his ears were red, and he felt very hot. He just wanted to get out of her sight as soon as possible.
Seeing that he quickened his pace, as if some ferocious beast was chasing him, Li Zhi felt completely bewildered!
When Li Zhiyi arrived at room 7028, she saw Gu Nian lying on her side as if asleep. After taking a shower, she felt even more tired and fell asleep as soon as she lay down on the big bed. Perhaps the hotel bed was too soft and comfortable, because Li Zhiyi slept until noon.
Gu Nianzhi woke up early because she dreamed of Yu Xunhuan. In the dream, he seemed very melancholy, and she wanted to talk to him but suddenly woke up.
After waking up, she felt a little melancholy and lost. Then she began to observe the conch shell on her neck. After a while, she put it to her ear to listen to the sound, and she could really hear the sound of waves.
She looked inside the conch shell with one eye and discovered that it held a secret: she could see into the sea. It was like an underwater world. She watched as a piece of seaweed inside swayed in the sea breeze and smiled to herself.
In the afternoon, Li Zhi planned to go to the city center to look for clues, but Gu Nianzhi made an excuse that she was not feeling well and wanted to stay at the hotel to rest.
"Sister-in-law, you guys go ahead, I won't go. I feel a little dizzy and want to rest at the hotel a bit more."
Li Zhiyi didn't force her to go. "Okay, Nianzhi, make sure to lock the door. Call us immediately if anything happens."
"Okay, sister-in-law, you should go now."
Gu Siye looked at his younger sister and found it strange. His sister always loved being around people, so why was she being so nice this time, staying at the hotel to rest? Could it be that she was really not feeling well?
Chen Zhihe also sent a photo of his family of three to his assistant, who then contacted agencies looking for missing persons, but to no avail.
Li Zhiyi knew that in such a large city, finding a stranger who didn't even have a name was like finding a needle in a haystack.
Chen Zhihe thought for a moment and suggested, "Miss Li, why don't we go to the black market? It should be easier to find someone there."
The black market in Thailand is different from the black market in China. Although there are some illegal and criminal activities in the black market in China, they are not as rampant as in Thailand.
Here, with enough money, anything is possible. The buying and selling of human organs, the trading of living people, and hiring assassins are all child's play.
The group walked into the black market, where there was also an underground casino. It was a chaotic place, and some ill-intentioned people stared at Li Zhiyi and Gu Nianzhi, looking them up and down, when they saw two stunningly beautiful women, who were like celebrities, suddenly enter.
Some people were eager to approach and chat with the woman, but when they saw that the man next to the beautiful woman was not someone to mess with and that he had bodyguards with him, they knew that these two women were not ordinary people and should not be provoked, so they gave up their plans.
Chen Zhihe said to one of his henchmen, "Call your manager over here."
Someone immediately went to report, and soon a man of about thirty-five years old came out smoking a cigar. When he saw that it was Chen Zhihe, he knew that this man was an entrepreneur. Now he could make money. His eyes darted around and he said, "I wonder what brings Mr. Chen here?"
"Enough with the nonsense, can you find someone? Money is no object." As he spoke, Chen Zhihe pulled out a pre-printed family photo of the three of them.
The person in charge took the photo and glanced at it. "No problem. Are these the three people you're looking for?"
“No, that woman is dead. Just find this man,” Li Zhiyi replied.
The manager sized up Li Zhi. He had seen countless people, and just by looking at her demeanor, he knew this woman was not to be trifled with, nor did he dare to be frivolous. He simply said, "Our rule here is to find the person first, then give a quote. What do you think, Mr. Chen?"
"It doesn't matter."
"Okay, it's settled then. Will you come here to pick him up in three days, or should I give you the man's address?"
Li Zhiyi said, "Tell me when you find him, but don't disturb this man."
The manager smiled and said, "Okay, I understand."
After the deal was finalized, Li Zhiyi saw a familiar face at the entrance of the black market.
