Shen Zhi Qiu then stopped and turned to walk towards the hospital bed.
Seeing that Gu Ningning's cheeks were swollen, she sat back down in her seat, straightened her coat slightly, and slowly raised her head.
Seeing the hatred in Gu Ningning's eyes, Shen Zhi Qiu smiled and said, "Gu Ningning, you really never learn."
Upon hearing this, Wei Qiao also noticed Gu Ningning's expression. He raised his hand and slapped her again, coldly saying, "When you talk to Miss Gu, you should learn to smile. If you can't learn, I can beat you until you do."
"No!" Gu Ningning pursed her lips, desperately holding back her tears, then raised her head and forced a smile, glancing timidly at Shen Zhi Qiu.
Seeing her like this, Shen Zhi Qiu decided not to make things difficult for her any further and asked directly, "Do you have any way to contact Xiao Wan Qing? If you can help me find her location, I can immediately send you back to Nancheng to be your Miss Gu."
"I..." Gu Ningning was about to say that she couldn't contact Xiao Wanqing either, but then she thought that if she said it, there would probably be no chance of going back.
"Okay, I'll help you find it." She readily agreed.
Shen Zhi Qiu hadn't paid much attention at first, but Gu Ningning's quick agreement made her raise an eyebrow, beginning to doubt Gu Ningning's words.
"What methods do you have to find Xiao Wanqing?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked skeptically. She didn't trust Gu Ningning.
“Wanqing is very smart.” Gu Ningning pursed her lips. “However, Wanqing has a fatal weakness.” A hint of smugness flashed in her eyes, as if she had found Xiao Wanqing’s Achilles’ heel.
"Oh? Tell me about it." Shen Zhi Qiu became interested and gestured for her to continue. She wanted to hear what ideas Gu Ning Ning had that might be able to help her.
“What Wanqing can’t let go of the most is her parents.” Gu Ningning’s voice became low, as if revealing a secret. “So, I can use this to force Wanqing to show herself.”
Shen Zhi Qiu's heart sank. She knew that although Xiao Wan Qing had committed many evil deeds, she was still considered filial and cared deeply for her parents. If Gu Ning Ning had truly exploited this, Xiao Wan Qing might come regardless of everything. She had considered this possibility, but when Rong Mo mentioned that Gu Qing Yan had called asking for his help in finding Xiao Wan Qing, saying it was because Xiao Wan Qing's mother was ill, Shen Zhi Qiu felt that the sins shouldn't be borne by the family, and therefore didn't want to involve them further.
“I can call her parents and lie that Wanqing was in a car accident in the capital. Then, once I get there, I can immediately take them into custody and then spread the word that Wanqing’s parents are seriously ill. That way, I can lure Wanqing out,” Gu Ningning added, her tone full of confidence, as if she was certain that Xiao Wanqing would show up.
Shen Zhi Qiu fell into deep thought, unsure whether she should agree to Gu Ning Ning's plan.
But perhaps this is the only chance to find Xiao Wanqing.
"Are you really sure this will work?" Shen Zhi Qiu asked. "Xiao Wan Qing is a very rational person; she won't easily believe such news."
“I know, but she’ll do everything she can to verify the truth of this news. As long as she wants to verify it, there will definitely be clues. When that happens, you arrange everything so that she has no chance to escape.” A cold glint flashed in Gu Ningning’s eyes.
Wei Qiao, who had been silent all along, looked at Gu Ningning, who was filled with ruthlessness, and couldn't help but feel a little contemptuous when she thought of the deep sisterly affection they had shown before.
Gu Ningning also noticed Wei Qiao's gaze. She pursed her lips, tilted her head up, and said, "How about it? After all, Xiao Wanqing definitely trusts me more. It definitely won't work if you try to contact her."
Shen Zhi Qiu smiled. "That's why I'm cooperating with you. Your value lies here."
Hearing Shen Zhi Qiu's blunt words, Gu Ning Ning still felt uncomfortable and retorted, "Shouldn't you give me some preferential treatment because I'm your sister? You're treating me like a criminal!"
"My sister? You have the nerve to say that? I'm embarrassed to even acknowledge her."
Shen Zhi Qiu chuckled, as if she had heard something ridiculous, and said calmly, "Sorry, I don't have a sister like you."
"That's true. How could someone as heartless as you possibly care about family ties! I heard from the bodyguard that your sister from the Shen family is also locked up, right?"
“That’s not something you should be concerned about.” Shen Zhi Qiu laughed. “I’m the kind of person who always seeks revenge.”
"Heartless and ungrateful! I really don't know what my brother saw in you back then!" Gu Ningning lowered her head, pouted, and looked rather unpleasant.
"That's none of your business!" Shen Zhi Qiu said indifferently. "Besides, what right do you have to call me heartless? You may have forgotten that you pushed me down the stairs when I was pregnant, but I haven't!"
With a sharp "slap!", another crisp slap rang out.
Out of the corner of her eye, Shen Zhi Qiu saw that Gu Ningning's face had been knocked to the side by Wei Qiao, and calmly stood up, pretending not to have seen it.
"Shen Zhi Qiu!" Gu Ningning called out to her fiercely, "Don't you have any humanity? If you want me to do something, at least treat me a little better, right? What do you mean by having someone beat me up?!"
“I hit you myself, it has nothing to do with Miss. She didn’t tell me to hit you.” Wei Qiao stepped forward and admitted it frankly.
"You!" Gu Ningning pointed at him with her finger, but lowered it awkwardly after seeing Wei Qiao's indifferent face.
"Gu Ningning, I think you may not have grasped the situation." Shen Zhi Qiu looked at her and smiled faintly. "Now I'm giving you a chance so that you can return to Nancheng safely and live as a young lady."
I can find Xiao Wanqing without going through you. You should seize this opportunity and behave yourself in front of me.
"If I'm unhappy, I can just lock you up again in the mental hospital, and you still won't be able to do anything about it."
After saying that, Shen Zhi Qiu blinked and said, "If I were you, I would lower my stance and try my best to make me happy. Maybe I would be in a good mood and have someone send you back ahead of time."
Gu Ningning pursed her lips, unable to refute.
Shen Zhi Qiu turned around and prepared to leave.
"Wait a minute!" Gu Ningning suddenly called out to her, then hesitated before asking, "When do you need me to help you find Xiao Wanqing?"
"Wait for me to make arrangements." Shen Zhi Qiu did not give her a direct answer.
"Then, Gu Qingyan, what are you going to do with him?!" Gu Ningning pressed on, unwilling to give up.
"I didn't realize you cared so much about your brother?" Shen Zhi Qiu sneered, looking at him meaningfully.
"No, I don't care about him at all," Gu Ningning said sarcastically.
