"Wanqing," Gu Qingyan composed himself, suppressing his volatile temper, and asked cautiously, "Where exactly is she?"
"Why should I tell you?" Wei Qiao turned her head away with an annoyed look. "You've caused trouble here time and time again, why should I bother telling you Xiao Wanqing's whereabouts? Would I be crazy?"
"Heh, aren't you just trying to lie to me? I spent so much money hiring people to find Wanqing's whereabouts and they still couldn't find her, but you think you can? What a joke." Seeing that he refused to tell her, Gu Qingyan immediately assumed that he was lying, so she bluntly exposed Wei Qiao's lie.
"Don't forget, the Rong family's power in the capital is immense. There's nothing that happens in the capital that the Rong family can't find out." Rong Mo looked at Gu Qingyan with a mocking expression, then picked up his teacup and took a small sip.
Seeing Rong Mo's calm demeanor, Gu Qingyan was unsure whether they had actually found Xiao Wanqing's whereabouts.
"What evidence do you have?" Gu Qingyan raised her head and looked at Rong Mo with a wary expression.
“Since Wei Qiao dares to speak, he must have solid evidence.” Rong Mo smiled and exchanged a glance with Wei Qiao without making a sound. Seeing Wei Qiao nod slightly, he felt confident.
"Let's show it to President Gu." Rong Mo chuckled and took another sip of hot tea.
"Yes, President Rong." Wei Qiao took out his phone, opened the photo album, and showed Gu Qingyan a picture.
The photo shows that it was taken last week.
Xiao Wanqing, dressed in a long black coat, sat elegantly holding a cup of coffee at the entrance of a coffee shop.
Although the photo only captured Xiao Wanqing's profile.
Although, the distance is actually still a bit far.
However, Gu Qingyan recognized the person as Xiao Wanqing at a glance.
"Wanqing," Gu Qingyan murmured, reaching out to snatch the phone from Wei Qiao's hand.
Wei Qiao had no chance to give him that opportunity. She immediately put her phone away, a smirk playing on her lips. "Didn't you say you didn't believe we could find Xiao Wanqing? In that case, there's nothing to see."
"You!" Gu Qingyan's face was contorted with rage, his brows furrowed, veins bulging on his forehead. He glared fiercely at Wei Qiao, his eyes seeming to want to devour him alive. His lips were pressed into a thin line, his teeth grinding together, his entire body trembling with anger. "I'm warning you, give me your phone right now!"
Wei Qiao glanced down at him and handed the phone to Rong Mo right in front of him.
Rong Mo took the phone and gripped it tightly in his left hand.
"President Rong, I think this is all a misunderstanding..." Seeing that forceful methods were ineffective, Gu Qingyan pursed his lips, wiped the water droplets from his face, and sincerely apologized, "I really shouldn't have come here after drinking and made a scene to see the child."
"Misunderstanding?" Rong Mo's expression was cold, and he curled his lips, revealing utter contempt. "Is it a misunderstanding? What you said just now was reasonable and well-founded. When you paid the ransom to save Zhi Qiu, I really thought you felt guilty towards my sister, which is why you transferred the money without hesitation. I didn't expect you to immediately ask me to help you investigate Xiao Wanqing's affairs."
Just now, didn't you say that you only paid the ransom because my sister is the mother of your child? In other words, if Zhi Qiu hadn't given birth to your child, you wouldn't have cared about her life or death at all, right?
"No," Gu Qingyan immediately denied. "After all, Zhi Qiu and I have been married for several years and have such a long-standing relationship. How could I be so heartless?!"
"How dare you say that?" Suddenly, a sarcastic female voice came from the stairwell.
Rong Mo turned his head and saw Lu Wei helping Yan Yan down the stairs. He couldn't help but frown, stand up, and walk towards the stairwell.
"Why did you come down here?" Rong Mo's tone carried a hint of reproach.
"The nanny took the baby's pacifiers off to sterilize them before she left, but forgot to put them back. I'm coming down to get them," Yan Yan said softly. "I'm sorry, I heard what he said earlier and couldn't help but argue with him."
Rong Mo felt a little embarrassed when he heard Yan Yan say that. "Next time something like this happens, just call Wei Qiao. Your leg isn't fully healed yet, and moving around too much can easily cause the injury to relapse."
"I'm much better now. Lu Wei was a little worried about me, so she came down with me." Yan Yan said, quickly stretching her legs to show that she really was much better.
Rong Mo was finally relieved.
"President Rong?" Seeing that he hadn't returned yet, Gu Qingyan ignored Yan Yan's mockery and cautiously called out to Rong Mo.
Rong Mo's face was ashen, his brows furrowed, clearly still angry. He turned his head, his gaze cold as he looked in Gu Qingyan's direction, but offered no response.
"You guys go up first, and don't tell my dad. I don't want him to worry," Rong Mo said in a low voice.
Lu Wei nodded.
"President Rong?" Gu Qingyan called out again.
"What are you yelling for? Can't you see he's busy?" Yan Yan shouted at Gu Qingyan again with a tense face, but this time, she deliberately lowered her voice.
"What's it to you?" Gu Qingyan was also a little annoyed. He hadn't settled the score with Yan Yan for splashing cola in his face last time, but he didn't expect to run into her again on this narrow road.
"Anything that concerns Zhi Qiu concerns me! Zhi Qiu is also my friend!" Yan Yan retorted without any politeness. "Besides, you're in Zhi Qiu's house right now, what are you acting so arrogantly for?!"
Gu Qingyan pursed her lips, her fingers curling as she tried to suppress the rising anger within her, and asked again, "President Rong? Can we continue our conversation?"
Rong Mo was also getting annoyed and didn't want to pay any more attention to the incessantly noisy Gu Qingyan.
He strode back, his face cold, and said, "I'm tired. I don't want to talk to you. You can leave."
"I'm not leaving!" Gu Qingyan's stubbornness flared up. He had just had a chance to find out Xiao Wanqing's whereabouts, how could he possibly give up now?
Rong Mo sneered, "Then don't blame me for not giving you face!"
Wei Qiao waved his hand, and the bodyguards immediately stepped forward, ready to throw Gu Qingyan out.
“President Rong, we can make a deal.” Gu Qingyan shrugged, trying to get rid of the bodyguard’s restraint. “I guarantee it will be the outcome you’d like the most, a win-win situation.”
"Tell me about it." Rong Mo glanced at him, and seeing Gu Qingyan looking at him with a firm gaze, he sat down, wanting to hear what he wanted to do.
"If you tell me Wanqing's whereabouts, I promise you that I will never bother Zhiqiu again, nor will I disturb the children." Gu Qingyan solemnly stated his conditions with a serious expression.
