"It's... well, it's about the thing I asked you to help me with last time." Gu Qingyan was a little displeased, but still didn't say it outright.
Rong Mo listened, somewhat speechless, and twitched the corners of his mouth. His lips were tightly pursed, his fingers were curled, and an aura of anger emanated from him.
"Gu Qingyan, I really can't see through you." Rong Mo sneered, his brows furrowed.
Hearing Rong Mo's words, Shen Zhi Qiu gently patted Rong Mo's shoulder. Zhou Xiao Ran stood to the side, glancing questioningly at Wei Qiao, who shrugged blankly and whispered, "I don't know what's wrong either."
"So, you helped Zhi Qiu just so I would help you investigate, right?" Rong Mo calmed himself down and asked directly into the phone, suppressing his anger.
"No." Gu Qingyan paused for a moment, then argued, "I helped Zhi Qiu because of our friendship. But I'm also worried about Wan Qing."
"Mr. Rong, imagine if you were me. Your best friend died saving you, leaving behind this blood-related sister. Would you just stand by and watch her wander in a foreign land, letting her go unaccounted for?"
Gu Qingyan was a little annoyed. He had just spent fifty million to make such a small request, but he didn't expect Rong Mo to have this kind of attitude.
Before Rong Mo could speak, he launched another attack, his gaze sharp and sarcastic, saying, "I'm not the kind of heartless person who would turn around and discard someone after saving your family."
I solemnly swore at Wanqing's grave that I would protect her for the rest of my life. I will definitely take on her brother's responsibilities and be a responsible and good older brother.
Gu Qingyan said this on purpose, mocking Rong Mo.
“You don’t have a younger sister, so the standards you’re talking about aren’t what an older brother should do,” Rong Mo said calmly, looking down. “The money will be refunded to you, but Gu Qingyan, let me tell you, I have a younger sister, and that’s how I learned what it truly means to love and care for one’s own sister.”
This is exactly what I told you before: you're using the guise of a sister to do things that involve romantic love.
Let me give you a piece of advice: since you've already divorced Zhi Qiu, let me tell you something.
You are free now.
Find your Xiao Wanqing yourself, and then propose to her.
"You two are locked in, I think that's fine."
After saying that, not wanting to hear Gu Qingyan's rebuttal, he hung up the phone directly.
The next second, Gu Qingyan called again.
Rong Mo snorted coldly and pressed the power button directly.
"Hang up on me?" Gu Qingyan gripped his phone tightly, and Huang Lin felt the air around him become tense. He couldn't help but whisper, "Mr. Gu, how about I take you back to your hotel to rest? You've had quite a bit to drink; drinking too much is bad for your health."
"You think I drink too much?" Gu Qingyan's voice was very deep. He lowered his eyes, and Huang Lin panicked because he felt that Gu Qingyan's tone was wrong, as if he was about to roar at any moment.
"No, no. Mr. Gu, I'm just worried about your health, afraid that you won't be able to handle it." Huang Lin was sweating profusely with anxiety.
"Oh, you think I'm not in good health?" Gu Qingyan sneered, lifted his eyelids, and gave Huang Lin a cold look.
Huang Lin pursed his lips into a thin line, momentarily at a loss for how to respond.
"Forget it." Gu Qingyan suddenly became magnanimous and stopped arguing. He naturally crossed his legs, leaned back comfortably on the sofa, and said in a low voice, "I asked you to find Wanqing, and you've been looking for so long without a single piece of news. Don't you think you're pretty useless now?"
"Mr. Gu." Huang Lin looked at Gu Qingyan with suppressed anger in his eyes, which made him shiver. He pursed his lips and said cautiously, "Indeed, we can't find any trace of her. It seems that someone has completely erased the existence of Miss Xiao."
This must be a highly skilled person, or someone who can wield absolute power in the capital, obstructing things from behind.
"A master? A figure who can control everything?" Gu Qingyan glanced coldly at Huang Lin, raised the wine glass in front of him, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Do you think it's possible that Lu Jia and Rong Mo are behind this?" Gu Qingyan tilted her head back and downed another glass of red wine, looking at Huang Lin as she spoke.
"Huh?" Huang Lin was a little confused and couldn't keep up with Gu Qingyan's train of thought for a moment.
He pondered for a moment before saying, "Mr. Gu, I don't think it's quite right."
"Why?" Gu Qingyan looked at him and said, "Tell me." Then she put down her wine glass, ready to listen carefully to his explanation.
“Think about it, although Miss Xiao has done many heinous things and threatened Madam’s safety several times, logically speaking, Lu Jia and President Rong must hate Miss Xiao very much.” Huang Lin lowered his head and analyzed to himself, “However, Lu Jia and President Rong seem to be people with sense, and after several interactions, I feel that they are relatively law-abiding people and would not go so far as to kill.”
For them, it was far better for Miss Xiao to suffer in prison than to be homeless on the streets.
If they're the ones locking her up, then there's even less need. Just call the police and have her arrested. Given Ms. Xiao's personality, she'll definitely make a lot of enemies in prison. It would be more satisfying to see her bullied and ostracized there.
Huang Lin talked at length, absorbed in his analysis, completely unaware of Gu Qingyan's increasingly gloomy face.
It wasn't until he finished speaking and didn't hear any response from Gu Qingyan that he suddenly realized he had said the wrong thing.
Huang Lin was immediately flustered and cursed himself a thousand times in his heart. He, as the assistant, knew all too well what Xiao Wanqing meant to Gu Qingyan.
At this moment, with Gu Qingyan already in such a bad mood, his words were simply adding fuel to the fire.
Having not heard any movement from Gu Qingyan for a long time, Huang Lin cautiously raised his head and glanced at Gu Qingyan.
He saw the man staring at him with icy eyes, filled with intense anger and an overwhelming sense of oppression. His arm trembled slightly, and Huang Lin immediately realized that something terrible was about to happen.
"Mr. Gu, I'm sorry, I spoke out of turn. I will order people to continue searching for Miss Xiao and Miss Gu the Second." Huang Lin quickly admitted his mistake, lowered his head, and clenched his hands.
"Ningning?" Gu Qingyan was a little tipsy. He tilted his head slightly, leaned back on the sofa, and closed his eyes to rest. "Ningning's matter isn't urgent. My second uncle is definitely searching anxiously for her. Your most important task now is to find Wanqing and bring her back safely." At this point, Gu Qingyan opened his eyes and looked at Huang Lin seriously. "You must ensure her safety and prevent her from getting hurt. Understand?"
