Yun Suiwan found Gu Fanyan in the VIP lounge at the corner of the mall.
But Lu Dongjue wasn't nearby.
"Where is Lu Dongjue?" Yun Suiwan asked directly.
Gu Fanyan glanced at her indifferently, "It's one thing for you to meet in private, but to come here so blatantly and ask me for someone is going too far."
Yun Suiwan didn't have time to waste words with her. "Zeze is missing. Quickly ask Lu Dongjue to help find him."
A mocking smile appeared on Gu Fanyan's lips. "Yun Suiwan, you certainly have a lot of tricks up your sleeve."
"I just heard that child call you 'Mom.' What, do you want Lu Dongjue to be his father?"
“That’s Huo Beichen’s son,” Yun Suiwan said. “He was abducted by human traffickers once before. Now you know how serious this is.”
Gu Fanyan's sarcasm deepened: "You really have some tricks up your sleeve, getting your ex-boyfriend to help your fiancé find his son."
"Yun Suiwan, if you want to hook up with a man, just say so. Your little schemes will only make you look more ridiculous."
"Smack!"
Yun Suiwan slapped Gu Fanyan across the face.
She could no longer tolerate it.
Gu Fanyan's eyes widened in disbelief, "You dare hit me!"
"Gu Fanyan, how come I never realized you were such a bastard?" Yun Suiwan said and ran away.
Since Lu Dongjue was unreliable, she had to think of other solutions immediately.
She went straight to the mall's security office.
"Miss, this is a sensitive area; unauthorized personnel are not permitted to enter..."
“Someone tried to snatch my child,” Yun Suiwan said bluntly. “It happened in the underground parking lot. Check the surveillance footage immediately.”
"I will reward one million to anyone who finds a clue."
The three security guards on duty were stunned for a moment, then immediately turned around to retrieve the surveillance footage.
...
Lu Dongjue returned to the VIP lounge and handed a cup of hot tea to Gu Fanyan.
Gu Fanyan kept her head down, her long hair obscuring her face, but he didn't seem to notice.
Until I heard a soft, sobbing sound in my ear.
He turned his head in confusion and saw Gu Fanyan's thin shoulders rising and falling gently.
"Does your stomach hurt a lot?" Lu Dongjue asked.
She had just said that her stomach was upset, so she asked him to pour her some hot water.
Gu Fanyan raised her head, revealing her face, and the five clearly red finger marks on her left cheek were shocking.
"What's going on?" Lu Dongjue frowned.
Who dares to touch the eldest daughter of the Gu family!
Gu Fanyan hesitated, then turned her face away and wiped away her tears.
"What exactly happened?" Lu Dongjue pressed, then stood up. "I'll go check the surveillance footage."
“It’s no use you going,” Gu Fanyan called out to him. “Even if you knew who it was, they wouldn’t do anything.”
Lu Dongjue turned around in confusion, then suddenly he understood.
"Is it Yun Suiwan?"
Gu Fanyan gave a self-pitying bitter smile, "See, I didn't say anything, but you immediately thought it was her."
"Looks like I deserved to be slapped."
"I once heard someone say that people may not remember those who love them, but they will always remember those who tormented them and caused them unbearable pain."
"Now I believe it. No matter how much I care about you or how good I am to you, it can't compare to Yun Suiwan beckoning you with a finger."
After saying that, Gu Fanyan wiped away her tears and left.
Lu Dongjue chased after Gu Fanyan out of the rest area, but she had already disappeared.
It seems that Gu Fanyan is indeed very heartbroken; she would never abandon him.
But Lu Dongjue didn't understand what Yun Suiwan was doing.
On the one hand, she begged him to give her another chance.
On the other hand, they secretly kept playing dirty tricks.
He then paraded through the city with Huo Beichen's son.
A moment later, he started finding fault with Gu Fanyan again.
He couldn't understand Yun Suiwan.
Just like back then, he couldn't understand why she could let go so easily.
He entered the shopping mall's sightseeing elevator.
There are two sightseeing elevators, both of which are completely transparent and encased in glass.
Yun Suiwan and two security guards were going up in another sightseeing elevator when they got a clue from the surveillance video: someone had been secretly following Yun Suiwan and Zeze ever since they entered the mall.
Yun Suiwan glanced up casually and immediately spotted Lu Dongjue riding down another sightseeing elevator.
"Lu Dongjue, Lu Dongjue!" she immediately banged on the glass and shouted at him.
With Lu Dongjue's help, finding Zeze will be easier.
Lu Dongjue looked at her.
She was about to gesture to him to meet her upstairs, but his gaze lingered for only two seconds before he turned away indifferently.
"Lu Dongjue, Lu Dongjue?"
The two elevators, one going up and one going down, only intersected for a fleeting moment before heading off in different directions.
Yun Suiwan didn't understand why he was ignoring her.
Unwilling to give up, she borrowed a security guard's phone and dialed Lu Dongjue's number.
No one answered.
No one answered.
Still no one answered.
"Ms. Yun, the other security guards have already gone to the 9th-floor restroom to block her. Let's hurry over there too." It was only after the security guard reminded her.
Yun Suiwan came to her senses, nodded, and handed the phone back to the security guard.
...
Night fell.
An ordinary-looking car drove to the bank of a large river.
Standing on the riverbank and looking back, the bridge with its twinkling lights in the distance looks very far away.
This place is too remote; it's a place where almost no one comes here.
Fishing enthusiasts all complain about the strong wind.
The car slowly came to a stop, and not far away, another ordinary-looking car had already stopped.
The tall figure on the riverbank was the car owner.
Gu Fanyan pushed open the car door and got out, and the strong cold wind immediately blew her beautiful hair into a mess.
But as she stepped forward, a hint of a smile appeared on her usually aloof and arrogant face.
"Is Zeze asleep?" The figure on the riverbank turned around when he heard footsteps.
This person is Huo Beichen.
“He’s in the car.” Gu Fanyan nodded. “Don’t worry, it’s all people I arranged. Zeze hasn’t been hurt at all.”
“Yun Suiwan will not be able to be with Lu Dongjue with a clear conscience if she can’t find Zeze for a day.”
"I will also find a way to marry Lu Dongjue as soon as possible."
Huo Beichen was silent for a moment, then said, "Miss Gu, you don't really need to do this."
"What do you mean?" Gu Fanyan chuckled lightly, "Is it helping you scheme for Zeze to get lost, or marrying Lu Dongjue?"
“I can tell that you don’t like Lu Dongjue at all.”
"But you don't like Yun Suiwan either."
"I am a man, and I have things I must do," Huo Beichen replied. "If I fail to protect the Huo family's business, I will not only let down my mother, but also expose my incompetence."
"But you are different, your family loves you very much."
"If you insist on an answer..." Gu Fanyan looked at the unreachable, brilliant lights in the distance, her eyes filled with despair, "I can only tell you that on the rainy night you met me, Gu Fanyan was already dead."
Huo Beichen moved his lips, but still suppressed his curiosity.
Gu Fanyan smiled sadly, "You want to ask who that man is? Actually, who he is is not important at all, because I have already dug him out of my heart."
"Whether I get married or not, and who I marry, is not important in this life."
"If marrying Lu Dongjue can help you, then I will marry him."
