Chapter 108
The sweet aroma in the bedroom makes people feel excited.
Ning Mingluo felt like a small boat floating on the ocean, rising and falling with the waves, but being embraced by the sea and not capsizing.
"I'm so tired, can you please take a rest?" Ning Mingluo forced herself to open her eyes, her gaze tracing the man's sexy eyebrows and eyes.
But no matter how handsome his face is, or how attractive his figure is, if he continues like this, he will fall apart!
When facing Gu Xiucheng, she could almost give in to him in other matters, but here it was as if it would cost Gu Xiucheng his life, and the man would never let him go.
After trying his best, Gu Xiucheng finally loosened up a little.
The sound of water running in the bathroom was heard and mist was rising.
Ning Mingluo nestled in Gu Xiucheng's arms, letting the man help him clean.
"Tired?"
Ning Mingluo glanced at Gu Xiucheng: "What do you think?"
Only at times like this would Ning Mingluo dare to confront Gu Xiucheng.
Gu Xiucheng curled his lips and said, "Don't sleep for a while, I'll give you a massage. I also asked someone to send over some delicious food. It's a new dish that the restaurant has been researching. Do you want to try it?"
"New dishes?"
"Well, they told me yesterday. They were planning to take you out for dinner, but you happened to be home yesterday, so they arranged for them to come over today."
"Then I'll try it later."
He doesn't have much pursuit in other things. Food is actually okay, but it is rare for it to pique his interest.
Ning Mingluo curled up in the soft bed, letting Gu Xiucheng's big hands knead him.
The feeling of soreness was really slowly decreasing, and Ning Mingluo sighed comfortably.
"If you don't go into business, I think opening a massage parlor would be a good idea for you."
Gu Xiucheng raised his eyebrows and exerted a little force with his hands: "Now you dare to tease me."
"It hurts." Ning Mingluo's voice was a little hoarse, and to Gu Xiucheng's ears it sounded like she was just acting coquettishly.
The force in his hands was much lighter.
After Ning Mingluo was pressed for a while, the sleepiness came back.
Seeing that he was really sleepy, Gu Xiucheng didn't call him and let him fall asleep.
He asked the people over there to deliver the meal later, and he covered Ning Mingluo with a quilt, intending to talk to Ning Mingluo for a while.
But the sudden vibration of his cell phone brought him back to his senses.
This is a message sent by my subordinates.
Gu Xiucheng, who had wanted to take a rest, instantly became energetic. Seeing Ning Mingluo sleeping soundly, Gu Xiucheng kissed Ning Mingluo between the eyebrows, got out of bed, and walked towards the study.
As soon as he left the bedroom, Gu Xiucheng's face darkened.
In the study, Gu Xiucheng answered a call from his subordinate.
"Boss Gu, we've found Li Ke. But when we got here, he seemed to have been traumatized and was a little bit crazy."
The subordinate was making a video call, and the person facing the screen was also Li Ke.
Li Ke was in a basement somewhere. The room was small and very dirty, and he was no longer as respectable as before.
The people around him also looked terrified.
"Don't kill me, I don't know anything and I won't say anything, let me go, let me go."
The subordinate took the phone back and looked at Gu Xiucheng with difficulty: "When we found him, he kept repeating these words. He was completely unconscious, and we couldn't get anything else out of him."
Gu Xiucheng pondered for a moment and knew that his guess was correct.
The person who was hostile to Ning Mingluo before was Li Ke, but Li Ke was able to control Ning Mingluo before, so that person did not do anything to Ning Mingluo because Ning Mingluo posed no threat.
It is very easy to deal with Ning Mingluo.
But now things are different.
Ning Mingluo did not sign a contract with Xingqi, but with Shengshi. After becoming his artist, that person was out of reach and tried to take Ning Mingluo's life many times.
Thinking of this, Gu Xiucheng's face became even gloomier.
"Has anything unusual happened around Li Ke since he resigned?"
That time when those people bullied Ning Mingluo in the bar, he was furious and gave them no leeway. Li Ke and Wu Le were among his targets of revenge.
Both of them resigned from Xingqi and left their hometown.
He didn't think much about it at the time and didn't pay attention to Li Ke, but things are different now.
Li Ke might have resigned from Xingqi not just because he was forced to do so, but because he had no other choice.
"We've investigated. Ever since Xingqi left, Li Ke seems to have become very unlucky. He was almost hit by a car while walking on the main road. He could even fall into a flower pot or a billboard while walking on the road. In short, these are things that could be fatal if you're not careful. But none of them took his life. It's just that he's not very courageous. The constant intimidation is enough to drive him crazy."
If it happened once or twice, they wouldn't care too much, but Li Ke encountered these things one after another, even two or three times a day. This cannot be simply described as an accident.
"I understand. Come back and don't worry about him."
After a little thought, Gu Xiucheng understood what that person was thinking.
What he wanted was Ning Mingluo's life, so he was naturally indifferent to others. However, Li Ke was his man and knew many of his secrets, so he would never keep Li Ke alive. However, killing Li Ke went against his plan and might cause unnecessary trouble, so the best way was to scare Li Ke crazy.
During the time when they were not paying attention to Li Ke, this person had already driven Li Ke crazy.
Thinking of this, two people flashed through Gu Xiucheng's mind.
Gu Xiucheng flipped through the address book and called Tang Xiuwen.
"Hello, Mr. Gu, why did you think of calling me? Shouldn't you be comforting and taking care of that person at this time?" Tang Xiuwen's voice was nonchalant, which immediately broke the atmosphere just now.
"Do you want to experience this too? I can talk to my aunt. I heard that she has been looking at several daughters of wealthy families recently."
Tang Xiuwen: ...
You are so cruel!
"Brother, you are my real brother. I was wrong."
Gu Xiucheng had a blank expression on his face: "My mother didn't give me another brother."
"Boss Gu, tell me what you want from me, and I will do whatever it takes to get it done for you."
He was wrong. He shouldn't have been joking with Gu Xiucheng.
He originally thought that being in love would make him more humane, but now he has discovered that the little humanity he has left is all given to Ning Mingluo!
"Where's Zhou Shiyi?"
Tang Xiuwen was stunned for a moment, not understanding why Gu Xiucheng suddenly asked about Zhou Shiyi.
But he still replied obediently: "He has been sent abroad, brother, don't worry, he will never come to harm you again. If he dares to make any small moves again, I will be the first to not forgive him!"
"Please check carefully again. Did he really go abroad?"
Tang Xiuwen was shocked. If it was Gu Xiucheng who said it, then there was a 99% chance that it was true.
Zhou Shiyi didn’t go abroad?
So where has he been all this time? Tang Xiuwen put away his cynical look and said seriously, "Boss Gu, I'll go investigate now."
No matter what, Zhou Shiyi is related to him. If anything happens to Zhou Shiyi, his mother will have no way to explain it.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Xiucheng thought of Wu Le again.
You can't blame Gu Xiucheng for thinking too much. Ning Mingluo's social circle is very narrow, and he only knows a few people. And it is also obvious that there are people who have malicious intentions towards Ning Mingluo.
But every time these people do something, it seems like they are not afraid of being discovered, which means they know that there are people who will support them in cleaning up the mess.
It was hard for Gu Xiucheng not to suspect that these people were the claws released by that person.
Because of common interests, they were tempted to harm Ning Mingluo.
After figuring this out, Gu Xiucheng relaxed a little.
Fortunately, he had already eliminated these people from Ning Mingluo's side early on, otherwise he didn't dare to imagine what might happen if Ning Mingluo faced these risks at any time.
Just like Li Ke, one day a car might really hit him, or a flower pot or a billboard might really fall on him.
Gu Xiucheng didn't even dare to think about these assumptions.
If Ning Mingluo was lifeless, unable to move or think, just thinking about Gu Xiucheng would make her feel like she was suffocating.
Anyone who hurts Ning Mingluo cannot be forgiven.
But finding these minions is not Gu Xiucheng's ultimate goal. He wants to know who did these things.
Gu Xiucheng immediately thought of Ning Mingluo, who was able to control Xingqi and the artists under him, as someone who was the top management of Xingqi.
This is different from family businesses like Shengshi and Huangchao, where Gu Xiucheng has almost the final say.
Xingqi’s operating model is that the president acts as the chairman, and the entire board of directors holds real power.
The private relationships among these directors are not that friendly, otherwise Xingqi would not have such a bad reputation in the circle for so many years, because some of them believe that artists are commodities, and as long as they can exchange for value, they don’t care what method is used.
Gu Xiucheng felt that the person who attacked Ning Mingluo was closely related to this group of board members.
But it was impossible to investigate it clearly at the moment, so he sent the things to be investigated to his subordinates. Gu Xiucheng leaned back in his chair and frowned.
He didn't feel bothered at all about what happened to his lover, he just felt distressed. If he hadn't shown up, what would Ning Mingluo do?
He died unexpectedly one day, and because he had no fame, he couldn't make any splash in the circle, and finally ended his life hastily.
Thinking of this possibility, Gu Xiucheng felt as if he was watching a movie, and these scenes seemed to have actually happened.
My heart ached at that moment.
"Xiu Cheng, Xiu Cheng!"
Gu Xiucheng woke up suddenly when he heard someone calling him with a hint of anxiety.
In front of him was Ning Mingluo, whose eyes were filled with worry. He was only wearing a shirt, with his white legs exposed. Gu Xiucheng was stunned for a moment.
Ning Mingluo approached Gu Xiucheng and reached out to touch his cheek. "What's wrong? I just woke up and didn't see you in the bedroom. When I entered the study, I saw you looking dazed and looking very bad. What happened?"
Under Ning Mingluo's worried gaze, Gu Xiucheng hugged the person into his arms.
