Perhaps their words touched a chord with him. After a long silence, Gu Qingyan took out his phone and called Huang Lin.
"Has Wanqing been found?"
"Mr. Gu, not yet. The police found two bodies in the dilapidated factory where your wife was kidnapped, and they have been confirmed to be the people who kidnapped her."
There was a large pool of blood upstairs, indicating that someone was either seriously injured and missing or already dead. The matter is still under investigation by the police.
"knew."
"President Gu..." Huang Lin hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.
"Speak," Gu Qingyan said impatiently.
“There was a car near the two deceased, and there was a lot of cash in the car. I went to the police station to assist with the investigation because you asked me to withdraw this cash in advance for Ms. Xiao’s daily use.”
"What?!"
"So, so..." Huang Lin frantically wiped his sweat, "So Miss Xiao took this cash to give to the kidnappers..."
...
Si Mingyu and Gu Qingyan were very close, so he heard the contents of the phone call clearly and noticed Huang Lin's hesitation.
Previously, Xiao Wanqing had a murder on her hands, and Gu Qingyan wanted to minimize the risk by not letting her use her credit card outside so that her enemies could locate her through the card transaction records. Therefore, he specifically asked Huang Lin to withdraw cash for her to spend.
Therefore, Xiao Wanqing used Gu Qingyan's money to kidnap Shen Zhiqiu, intending to kill Shen Zhiqiu to silence her!
If Shen Zhi Qiu is really dead, then the knife was bought by Gu Qing Yan!
How ironic!
Gu Qingyan closed her eyes, her whole body slumped on the sofa like a wilted eggplant, not moving for a long time.
"Mr. Gu! Mr. Gu! Are you still listening?"
Huang Lin became somewhat worried when he saw that Gu Qingyan had not replied for a long time.
“Assist the police in finding Xiao Wanqing. Once found, handle the matter according to the law. You don’t need to contact me again.”
Gu Qingyan said with some bitterness, then hung up the phone helplessly.
“Zhi Qiu,” Gu Qingyan smiled bitterly, somewhat desperately, “she should indeed hate me, and should not forgive me.”
After saying that, he grabbed his coat from the sofa and staggered toward the door.
Si Mingyu frowned, worried that he might act impulsively, and stood up to follow him.
Stepping out of the blue gate, I noticed that it had started raining heavily sometime earlier.
Gu Qingyan seemed not to see anything and walked straight into the rain, striding towards the parking lot.
Si Mingyu sighed and stepped into the rain.
Seeing Gu Qingyan open the driver's seat door and get in as if she had gone mad, Si Mingyu quickened his pace and pulled Gu Qingyan out.
Because she had drunk a lot of alcohol, Gu Qingyan was weak and powerless, and was no match for Si Mingyu. She was quickly forced into the back seat of the car.
"I want to go home," Gu Qingyan mumbled somewhat indistinctly.
"Come to my place, you've had too much to drink," Si Mingyu calmly suggested.
"I'm going to find Zhi Qiu and apologize to her." Gu Qingyan refused, becoming even more difficult after drinking.
“Qingyan, it’s pointless.” Si Mingyu frowned, his fingers gripping the steering wheel tightly and then loosening, and continued to persuade, “If you go now, Zhi Qiu will already be asleep. She’s very tired. Let her rest first, and go tomorrow when you’re more awake.”
“If you don’t let me go, I’ll go by myself.” Gu Qingyan’s stubbornness flared up, and fearing that Si Mingyu would refuse him again, he added, “I won’t go in, and I won’t bother her. I’ll just wait at the door.”
Si Mingyu felt somewhat helpless, but he turned the car around and drove towards the Gu family villa. Otherwise, he was really worried that Gu Qingyan might cause trouble again if she went back.
Before long, they arrived at the entrance of the Gu family villa. Seeing that Gu Qingyan had fallen into a deep sleep, Si Mingyu thought for a moment and then called Uncle Gu, briefly telling him about the recent events.
"What's wrong, Sui'an?" Seeing that Gu Sui'an's brows were furrowed after answering a phone call, Mu Ziqi walked downstairs in her pajamas.
"Xiao Wanqing paid someone to kidnap Zhi Qiu, and Zhi Qiu almost didn't make it back alive." Gu Suian hadn't recovered from the shock of the news and replied subconsciously.
"What?!" Upon hearing this, Mu Ziqi was so angry that her mind went blank. She picked up her phone and was about to call her bastard son, "I'll call Qingyan right now."
"Stop calling, he's drunk. It was Mingyu who called me," Gu Suian said with a hint of exasperation. "If it weren't for our good son, Zhi Qiu wouldn't have to suffer like this!"
"Where is Zhi Qiu? I need to go see her to put my mind at ease!" Mu Ziqi turned around and prepared to go upstairs to change out of her pajamas and go see Shen Zhi Qiu.
“Zhi Qiu must be asleep already. We’ll go there first thing tomorrow morning; she’s at home.” Gu Suian quickly stepped forward, took Mu Ziqi’s hand, and told her not to panic.
I barely slept a wink all night.
As soon as it was light, Mu Ziqi hurriedly pulled Gu Suian and rushed home.
As soon as the car entered the villa, Gu Suian saw Gu Qingyan's car parked at the villa entrance, and could vaguely see someone in the driver's seat.
He parked his car and stormed toward Gu Qingyan's car.
"Uncle Gu, Aunt Gu." Si Mingyu was also unable to sleep. Upon seeing them, he quickly opened the car door and got out, greeting them modestly.
"Mingyu, what are you doing here?" Gu Suian was a little surprised. He didn't expect to see him here so early in the morning. He thought his son was in the driver's seat.
Si Mingyu explained with a faint smile, "Qingyan drank too much last night, so I brought him back. I didn't expect him to fall asleep. I was afraid of disturbing Zhiqiu's rest, so we just spent the night in the car."
"Thank you for your hard work, child," Mu Ziqi said somewhat embarrassedly.
"It's alright, Auntie, you're too kind." Si Mingyu bowed slightly.
As they were talking, the back door of the car was pushed open, and Gu Qingyan walked out, still sleepy-eyed.
Seeing her parents there, she couldn't help but frown. "Mom and Dad, what brings you here?"
"Come and see my daughter-in-law." Gu Suian looked at his son with annoyance. What kind of behavior is it to be drunk and asleep in the car!
Ten minutes later.
Just as they were waiting on the living room sofa for the nanny to serve tea, Lu Jia, dressed in a handsome casual suit, slowly walked down from upstairs.
Seeing the four people in the living room staring at him, he paused for a moment before preparing to walk over and greet them.
"Who are you?" Mu Ziqi looked at him with some surprise. His handsome face and noble temperament made it clear that he was not from an ordinary family.
"Hello, Auntie, my name is Lu Jia, and I'm Zhi Qiu's friend." Lu Jia replied frankly, "Auntie, please don't misunderstand. I'm here just to protect Zhi Qiu; I'm afraid something might happen to her again."
"Please sit down, thank you for your trouble." Gu Suian gestured for Lu Jia to sit down, inwardly approving of his answer. Then she glared fiercely at her son. Others, even as just good friends, knew to stay home and watch over Shen Zhi Qiu to prevent her from encountering danger again, but Gu Qingyan went out to drown his sorrows! What makes him think he can compare to others!
"Hmph." Gu Qingyan turned her face away unhappily.
"Lu Jia, can you come up and help me?" Shen Zhi Qiu's voice suddenly came from upstairs.
