Chapter 211 Memo Slip
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei's eyes lit up instantly; Si Yanxiao's idea was exactly the same as his own.
Given the dire situation overseas, simply preserving capital was already a challenge, yet both he and Si Yanxiao were prone to taking risks.
With many small and medium-sized enterprises withdrawing their investments, if we can seize this opportunity to acquire them and successfully weather this financial crisis, Si's overseas industries will spread across various sectors, making it a leading enterprise in the field.
Thinking of this, Chen Fei immediately nodded and replied, "I agree."
As he spoke, he paused slightly, a thoughtful look flashing across his brow, before hesitantly adding, "But I'm afraid the board of directors won't approve this plan smoothly."
After all, there are some cunning old foxes among them who only think about their own interests. If they succeed, all is well, but if they fail, the Si family's years of overseas operations will be destroyed.
Si Yanxiao had naturally thought of this as well. His eyes narrowed slightly, and a cold glint flashed across his face. He replied in a deep voice, "I will handle this matter. You only need to stabilize the situation overseas."
"Okay," Chen Fei replied in a low voice.
Just as the two were discussing the specific details in their video conference, Gu Nan pushed open the door and walked in from outside, her brows furrowed. She quickly walked to Si Yanxiao's side and said in a deep voice, "Miss Bai is missing."
"What?!" Si Yanxiao's expression changed drastically. Ignoring Chen Fei's ongoing remote connection, he abruptly stood up, his face grim, and asked sharply, "What's going on?"
A look of seriousness flashed across Gu Nan's face as she replied in a low voice, "I don't know the specifics either; it's just a message from the guards over there."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression turned cold, and he immediately turned around and left quickly.
Gu Nan frowned, her eyes filled with a heavy expression. She looked up and saw Chen Fei raising an eyebrow, looking at her with a puzzled expression.
Gu Nan then realized that he hadn't hung up yet. Before he could say anything, he saw Chen Fei's lips curl up slightly, revealing a hint of mockery.
He scoffed coldly, "Miss Bai? Bai Zhuwei?"
"Hmm." Gu Nan responded softly, a hint of helplessness flashing across her face. She sighed softly, "We just found them not long ago, and they've disappeared again?"
Upon hearing this, Chen Fei suddenly let out a cold laugh, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes: "Didn't I hear you died from severe injuries sustained in a car accident? What? You've come back to life?"
Gu Nan heard the undisguised sarcasm in his words and knew that he had always disliked Bai Zhuwei, so she did not argue with him on this matter.
His gaze then narrowed slightly, and he slowly replied, "It's a long story."
"Hmm," Chen Fei replied softly, then hung up the video call on his own.
Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, then turned and left, heading towards the hospital.
However, Tu Zhongxin was filled with thoughts. With Bai Zhuwei's matter, given how much Si Yanxiao valued her, it would likely cause quite a stir.
Thinking of this, Gu Nan's eyes narrowed slightly, and a hint of helplessness flashed across her face.
On the other side, Si Yanxiao drove to the hospital, and when he arrived at the ward, he pushed open the door and went in, only to find that the room was empty.
Upon seeing this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a sinister look flashed across his face.
The bodyguard hurriedly followed behind, head bowed, face full of shame, and then said in a low voice, "I'm sorry, sir, it was our negligence..."
Hearing their apologetic apologies, Si Yanxiao's expression grew even uglier. He picked up a teacup and threw it at them, then shouted angrily, "What use are you if you can't even spot a person!"
Upon hearing this, the bodyguard lowered his eyes slightly and dared not utter a sound.
When Gu Nan arrived at the scene, she encountered Si Yanxiao in a fit of rage. Her eyes swept across the room and she saw a note on the table next to her with faint writing on it. She quickly stepped forward, picked up the note, and sure enough, she saw the words "Zhu Wei" written on it.
He hurriedly handed it to Si Yanxiao and whispered, "This is a note left by Miss Bai."
Si Yanxiao's expression changed, and he quickly reached out to take it.
Gu Nan noticed that the bodyguards had their lips tightly pressed together and looked uneasy, as if they were afraid that Si Yanxiao would take his anger out on them.
He then frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "You all get out!"
Upon hearing this, the leading bodyguard instinctively looked at Si Yanxiao. Seeing that he did not speak up to stop him, he was slightly moved and quickly nodded slightly to Gu Nan to express his gratitude before turning around and leaving.
Seeing this, Gu Nan slightly raised her eyes and asked, "What do you mean?"
Si Yanxiao's eyes were filled with coldness, his lips were tightly pursed, and his face was full of displeasure. He did not respond and handed the note to him directly.
Gu Nan took it, glanced at it, and instantly understood its meaning.
His expression changed slightly, and a look of surprise flashed in his eyes: "They're gone already?"
She left, but she also made it clear on the note that she would not bother them again. Her words implied that she was putting herself in his shoes and thinking of him, as if she were the victim.
It was precisely this point that completely exploited Si Yanxiao's sense of guilt.
Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, but he did not answer.
Gu Nan pursed her lips, looking hesitant, and then asked, "Then what should we do now..." She paused slightly, looked up at Si Yanxiao, as if waiting for his decision.
A hint of coldness flashed in Si Yanxiao's eyes, and then he said in a cold voice, "Find him! Find him at all costs, no matter where he is!"
Gu Nan was clearly expecting this decision, and without any change in expression, she replied in a deep voice, "Okay, I'll get on it right away."
Having said that, he turned and left, fearing that staying any longer would cause collateral damage.
After Gu Nan left, only Si Yanxiao remained in the large ward. He sat slumped on the edge of the bed, his expression inscrutable and filled with coldness.
Although Bai Zhuwei left voluntarily this time without being coerced by others, the investigation into the previous framing incident has still not yielded any results.
She's all alone; what if she gets targeted by the person behind it all?
Thinking of this, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes, and his heart became increasingly anxious.
Then, glancing at it, he picked up the note she had left behind, trying to discern something unusual from it.
Bai Zhuwei's departure was quite clear; it was simply that everything had changed, and there was no point in her staying any longer.
Just as he was lost in thought, Gu Nanfu pushed the door open and entered from outside, saying in a low voice, "I have already given instructions, and I believe we will have clues soon."
He paused slightly, then said in a deep voice, "Don't worry too much, after all, it was her own choice..."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's eyes sharpened, and a hint of displeasure surfaced on his face.
Seeing his displeasure, Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, disregarding his bad mood, her gaze darkened, and she slowly said, "Ayan, have you ever considered that your starting point might have been wrong from the beginning?"
"You're only thinking about our past relationship, going through all sorts of hardships to find her, but what about the future? Have you thought about how you'll handle your relationship with her afterward?"
Gu Nan's words seemed to awaken him. Upon hearing them, Si Yanxiao's expression changed abruptly, his brows furrowed slightly, and a thoughtful look flashed in his eyes.
Yes... He was only concerned with his current life, forgetting that he already had a family, and the two of them could never go back to the way things were before.
Six years have passed like a dream, fleeting in the blink of an eye, but the events that happened during that time are real and cannot be forgotten.
Even though he disliked Jiang Ran so much, the two of them would either argue or make malicious sarcastic remarks whenever they met.
However, it cannot be denied that the two are now legally recognized as husband and wife, with legally binding protection, which cannot be faked.
Even more frightening was the presence of Si Zuochen and Si Youlin, who stood like a beam across the middle, preventing him from retreating.
Seeing that Si Yanxiao seemed to be deep in thought, Gu Nan pursed her lips slightly, hesitated for a long time, and then slowly asked again, "Hmm?"
Hearing his urging, Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and he hesitated for a moment before replying in a deep voice, "I can't think about that right now."
“Even if it’s no use now, I still have to find her. If what she says is true, that the old man kept her under house arrest for the past six years, then the Si family owes her something.”
As he spoke, he pursed his lips slightly, a hint of coldness flashing in his eyes.
Even if she is determined to leave, he still has to do his best to make amends.
Gu Nan felt a sense of helplessness upon hearing Si Yanxiao's words.
He spoke in a seemingly generous manner, but one could still vaguely discern the difference in his treatment of Bai Zhuwei.
If it were anyone else, they would probably have distanced themselves from the matter and let it go in a hasty manner.
But now Si Yanxiao seems to have taken the investigation to heart, and I can't think of any other reason besides his lingering affection for her.
