Chapter 117 No Accidents Will Happen in the Future
Gu Xiucheng remained unmoved by the woman's plea for mercy.
He just stared coldly at the woman who kept crying.
Ning Mingluo squatted down, looked at the woman in front of him, and sighed.
"So who told you to do this?"
He was very surprised when he found the recorder just now. After he moved away from Gu Xiucheng a little, he didn't see anyone else entering the teahouse, and his heart sank.
As expected, it was the woman who had just made tea.
Having been in the entertainment industry for a long time and having seen all kinds of monsters, to be honest, Ning Mingluo did not think that the woman in front of him had any ill will towards him and Gu Xiucheng. Of course, it was also possible that he had misjudged her.
The woman tried to calm herself down and began to recall.
"Three days ago, I got off work as usual, but when I got home, I found a package at my doorstep. I was very confused at the time. I usually leave my packages at the express station and then pick them up myself. But this package was left at my doorstep, and no courier called to notify me. I thought it was suspicious, but the recipient information on it was indeed my information. I didn't think too much about it and opened the package. Only after opening it did I know what the package was."
Having said this, the woman's expression became a little fierce.
"There was a stack of photos and documents inside. The photos included my daily commute to get off work, as well as photos of my parents and my wife going to and from work. The documents were also labeled with all the information about me and my family, even down to my childhood. I didn't even know what was recorded there. But I knew the information was real. I panicked and tried to close it up and throw it back into the delivery box, but suddenly an envelope fell out from the stack of documents."
"After I picked it up, the envelope told me to leave the recorder that came with the courier at the teahouse in three days. It didn't say what would happen if I didn't, but the photos and information were a threat. I had no choice but to do it."
After hearing her words, Ning Mingluo's expression became a little solemn.
Someone knew they were coming in advance, so they arranged for people to make preparations.
Is it directed at him or Gu Xiucheng?
Ning Mingluo looked at Gu Xiucheng, somewhat confused as to what was going on.
But Gu Xiucheng's expression was not that serious, he just looked at the woman.
Noticing that their eyes were on her, the woman trembled a little.
Just now she felt that the aura of these two people was different from that of the usual guests who came here, and now this feeling is even stronger.
Tears fell involuntarily. Why did it have to be her? She was obviously working steadily and had never done anything bad, but she had to find him.
"Who will be able to access the teahouse's guest reservation information?"
Hearing Gu Xiucheng's question, the woman quickly wiped away her tears and replied, "We keep the guests' information secret and won't disclose it to the public. We will only indicate which day a guest has made a reservation."
Ning Mingluo had a thoughtful expression.
He was dragged here by Gu Xiucheng to play at the last minute, but Gu Xiucheng had made appointments and preparations in advance, so someone still knew their itinerary.
So who is this person?
Ning Mingluo couldn't help but think of the man who wanted to kill him.
But does that man really have such ability that he can even find out Gu Xiucheng's whereabouts?
Although Gu Xiucheng usually only went in and out of the company and stayed with him after get off work, there was definitely a lot of protection around Gu Xiucheng.
Not to mention how many people are secretly protecting Gu Xiucheng's privacy and personal safety, just on the surface, Gu Xiucheng's assistants and secretaries are not easy to deal with.
So being able to get Gu Xiucheng's itinerary is itself a very scary thing.
Gu Xiucheng patted Ning Mingluo gently and comforted him with his eyes, telling him not to think too much.
He turned to look at the proprietress again: "Besides asking you to put the recorder, did that guy also tell you something else? When will he come to pick it up?"
The proprietress shook her head. "The letter only told me to play the recorder. It didn't tell me who to give it to or who to pick it up from."
"Since I didn't ask you to give it to someone else, why did you come looking for it just now?"
"I think no one will come into the tea room again, so I'll take this thing away first. If someone finds out that I left this kind of thing here, I'll be in trouble."
Gu Xiucheng thought for a moment, then asked, "Who has reserved the use of this teahouse tomorrow?"
The woman frowned, unsure whether to answer the question.
There was no other way, so the woman had to count out the names of the guests.
When Ning Mingluo heard this person's name, his pupils shrank slightly. Is this a coincidence?
The person scheduled for tomorrow's appointment is none other than one of the top executives of his former employer.
Lin Wei.
Ning Mingluo was not particularly impressed by this person.
Due to the special nature of Xingqi, some of these senior executives will frequently enter and exit the company to make their presence felt, while others will retreat behind the scenes and not participate in the company's decision-making operations.
And this Lin Wei is obviously the latter.
He never shows up except on necessary occasions.
Noticing Ning Mingluo's expression, Gu Xiucheng didn't ask any further questions, but looked at the woman.
"Don't tell anyone about what happened today. Continue working normally."
"Can you return the recorder to me, my family..."
She didn't want her family to be involved in this obviously wrong incident.
Ning Mingluo also looked at Gu Xiucheng. If this matter was really as he thought, the woman in front of him was really implicated for no reason.
"Put the recorder back, but there's no recording in it. As for your family, I'll arrange for someone to protect them."
Looking at the oppressive man in front of her, the woman nodded hurriedly.
She had no choice, and this was the best solution right now.
After coming out of the teahouse, Ning Mingluo looked like he was worried about something.
Gu Xiucheng held Ning Mingluo's hand and said, "Be careful of the stones ahead."
The gentle reminder brought Ning Mingluo back to his senses.
"The Lin Wei who will be here tomorrow, there is also someone named Lin Wei among Xingqi's senior management. I don't know if it's this person, isn't it a bit too coincidental."
Seeing Ning Mingluo's worry, Gu Xiucheng was very calm.
"We'll find out tomorrow. Okay, don't overthink it. The other party is doing this kind of trick because they're afraid of me. They don't dare to attack directly, so they want to attack from other aspects. And this time we've caught them, so we'll soon find out who this person is."
Ning Mingluo nodded.
Catch this person quickly. It's really frustrating to know that someone has bad intentions towards you but not know who that person is.
Gu Xiucheng tilted his head to look at Ning Mingluo. Because of his own illness, he was particularly sensitive to emotions.
He is actually not indifferent to everything, nor is he the unreachable iceberg that others say he is.
On the contrary, he could easily see through a person's emotions at the time. He had seen all kinds of people, those who flattered him, fawned on him, were afraid and nervous, admired and respected him, and he had seen all kinds of emotions.
The only one who is not like Gu Xiucheng is that when facing herself, Gu Xiucheng is like water, calm and gentle.
There was not a single ripple, and Ning Mingluo was like this towards everyone, as if he was no different from everyone else in front of him and could not arouse any emotion in him.
So he liked to tease the young man and liked to see him show various expressions because of him.
But he had never seen Gu Xiucheng so anxious.
The person who has never been found seems to have a great influence on the lover.
It doesn't make sense if I'm feeling uneasy because of the man's actions a few times before.
Not to mention that the man did not succeed, but instead had the opposite effect several times. Moreover, he was by the side of his lover, and his lover had 100% confidence in his abilities, so he should not be so afraid.
So why are you so anxious?
In fact, there are reasons for this if we analyze it carefully.
Now everything Ning Mingluo encounters turns out well, but before that, that person was successful.
He successfully caused Ning Mingluo's grandmother to die prematurely, and also successfully caused his own death, and no one knew about it.
Although it happened again, the memory was not overwritten, and the fear engraved in Ning Mingluo's mind continued to follow him like a shadow.
How could Ning Mingluo not be afraid?
He was extremely afraid that what happened before would happen again.
Because so far they still can't find any information about each other, and the other party knows too much about them.
Originally holding Ning Mingluo's hand, he changed to half hugging Ning Mingluo. Gu Xiucheng's low voice rang in Ning Mingluo's ears: "Don't think too much. With me here, no accidents will happen in the future."
The man's voice was sonorous and powerful, as if it struck Ning Mingluo's heart again and again.
It was as if someone who had been walking in the dark for a long time saw a ray of light, and then the light grew bigger and bigger, illuminating the entire night, dazzlingly bright.
Ning Mingluo calmed down immediately. Yes, this is Gu Xiucheng.
He is by Gu Xiucheng's side, there is nothing to be afraid of, Gu Xiucheng will protect him, and they will all be fine.
Ning Mingluo moved a little closer to Gu Xiucheng's arms.
"Thank you."
Pulling me out of the darkness again and again.
This time Gu Xiucheng didn't say anything more.
His lover is brave, so don't worry.
He actually enjoyed the sight of her relying on him wholeheartedly.
He has so much wealth and power now, isn't it just to make his lover happy?
The more Ning Mingluo relied on him, the happier he was.
When the two of them returned, grandma had already returned to the yard and was sitting there, thinking about something.
When grandma saw Ning Mingluo and Gu Xiucheng coming back, her eyes flashed.
"Grandma, why don't you have a blanket in the yard right now? The temperature is dropping."
The environment here is good, and the temperature has dropped by several degrees since the evening.
As Ning Mingluo spoke, he reached out and held his grandmother's hand, which was a little cold.
"I'm not cold. Grandma is waiting for you. She has something to tell you."
