☆, Chapter 350 Going with the Flow
“Characteristics…” The older man frowned slightly, pondered for a moment, and then slowly replied, “That person is about 1.85 meters tall, wearing a black baseball cap, and has very delicate features.”
Si Yanxiao listened to his description, his eyes slightly lowered, as if deep in thought.
Refined? What kind of appearance can be considered refined in men?
In a moment of reflection, a familiar face instantly appeared in my mind.
Just then, another person next to Si Yanxiao looked at him in thought for a moment, then suddenly exclaimed, "He looks somewhat like you!"
Upon hearing this, the older man's gaze lingered on Si Yanxiao, scrutinizing him for a while before nodding repeatedly in agreement.
"Looks alike?" Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed drastically, and he asked in a deep voice, "Are you sure?!"
The man's eyes flickered slightly, and he replied in a low voice, "Confirmed!"
His tone was full of certainty, but a hint of suspicion immediately arose in Si Yanxiao's heart.
Si Jiliang was about the same age as him, and their facial features were also very similar. Judging from their description, it was obviously him!
The key question is, why did Si Jiliang suddenly take Jiang Ran away?
Furthermore, now that he has succeeded, why would he simply leave Jiang Ran on the roadside?
Si Jiliang has always been cunning and calculating, always planning ahead. It's impossible for him to make such a mistake. If it were him, he would have eliminated them long ago. Why would he wait for them to report the case?
Thinking of this, Si Yanxiao's eyes suddenly sharpened, and a strange look appeared in his eyes as he looked at the two of them.
As eyewitnesses, their hesitant words and frequent pensive expressions suggested they were indeed recalling something. Everything had been carefully disguised, but their biggest mistake was pointing the finger at Si Jiliang…
Si Yanxiao lowered his brow slightly, but did not raise any questions.
The two men carefully observed his expression, trying to discern something from it, when suddenly the sound of a sports car engine came from afar.
The bodyguard recognized the license plate from afar, bowed slightly to Si Yanxiao, and said softly, "Mr. Si, it's Assistant Gu."
Si Yanxiao looked up and saw Gu Nan suddenly brake, get out of the car and walk quickly towards him, her gaze sweeping over Jiang Ran.
Seeing that she seemed alright, he felt a little relieved and quickly asked, "What happened?"
He turned and glanced at the two eyewitnesses, his gaze darkening slightly, before continuing, "Have you questioned them all?"
Si Yanxiao's face showed displeasure, his lips pressed into a straight line, and he said sharply, "Send someone to find out Si Jiliang's whereabouts!"
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan was taken aback. She hadn't expected that this matter was related to Si Jiliang. She was about to ask him a question, but then hesitated because there were many people around.
He responded in a low voice, walked aside to make a phone call, and when he came back, a look of displeasure flashed across his face. He said in a low voice, "Since the day before yesterday, no one has seen him. It's like he's vanished into thin air."
Upon hearing this, Si Yanxiao's expression changed drastically, a sinister glint flashing between his brows. He coldly shouted, "Damn it! It really is him..."
Then, he parted his thin lips slightly and said, "Spread the word, issue a full-scale manhunt!"
"Yes." Gu Nan nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice.
Si Yanxiao's anger was still evident. He turned to look at the witnesses, his expression softening slightly, and ordered in a deep voice, "Give them the reward."
After saying that, he bent down, picked up Jiang Ran with both hands, and turned to leave.
The two men were surprised to find a reward, and their faces lit up with joy. Gu Nan transferred the money to them directly, her eyes flashing slightly. She then handed them her business card and said in a deep voice, "If you remember any more details, you can contact me again."
"Okay, okay..." the two quickly replied.
Gu Nan lowered her eyes to look at the two men's greedy expressions, a strange look flashing across her face, but it disappeared in an instant.
Turning her head, she noticed that Si Yanxiao's car was parked not far away and had not left, obviously waiting for her.
He casually tossed the car keys to the bodyguard beside him: "Drive my car back to the company."
With that, she turned and walked towards Si Yanxiao.
The bodyguard nodded slightly and responded respectfully.
The car was silent. Si Yanxiao stared ahead, stepped on the gas, and sped away, the scenery flashing by.
Gu Nan tilted her head slightly to examine his expression, her lips pursed, and after a moment of hesitation, she asked in a deep voice, "Do you think what they said is true or false?"
Si Yanxiao listened, his eyes narrowing slightly, a cold glint flashing across his face. He suddenly chuckled and then said in a cold voice, "Does it matter?"
"Isn't this a message that the person behind all this is trying to send me?"
His words were full of sarcasm, mixed with a hint of disdain.
Upon hearing this, Gu Nan looked surprised, turned to look at the unconscious Jiang Ran, and exclaimed in astonishment, "You don't believe me?"
Si Yanxiao gave him a cold, sidelong glance, and Gu Nan instantly sensed his impatience.
He quickly explained, "I thought you might have been blinded by anger, after all, Jiang Ran has indeed been found."
He originally intended to offer guidance as an outsider, but he didn't expect Si Yanxiao to see things so clearly.
Surprised, Si Yanxiao scoffed from the side, "They made many mistakes, I just went along with it."
"But this matter is too complicated, and Ah Chen still has no clue. I'm sure it was done by the same group of people as Jiang Ran's disappearance."
"The situation is unclear right now, so we might as well just pretend to believe their claims. Since they want to shift the blame, I'd like to see what they're up to!"
As he spoke, a ruthless glint flashed in his eyes.
Gu Nan nodded repeatedly after hearing this, then suddenly asked, "Is there still no news from the fake Taoist priest?"
"Hmm." Si Yanxiao's eyes darkened, and he replied in a low voice, "After receiving your message, I left a few people to continue investigating and then rushed here directly."
"We'll get updates on the specifics from them."
"Okay." Gu Nan nodded slightly and replied in a deep voice.
Si Yanxiao knew about Jiang Ran's condition, so he didn't take her to the hospital. Instead, just in case, he brought her back to the villa.
When Si Youlin heard the servants talking about how Si Yanxiao hurriedly carried Jiang Ran back to the room, a look of surprise flashed across his face, and he quickly walked towards the room.
He pushed open the door and entered, only to see Si Yanxiao considerately tucking Jiang Ran in. His brows furrowed slightly, and he asked in confusion, "Daddy, what's wrong...?"
Before he could finish speaking, Si Yanxiao immediately explained, "Achen's current situation is unclear, and I'm worried that something might have happened to her over there."
The situation was urgent at the time, and to avoid worrying them, we didn't mention that Jiang Ran was in danger.
Si Youlin did not suspect anything. He lowered his gaze and saw that Jiang Ran was still the same as before and had not improved. He couldn't help but sigh.
Seeing this, Gu Nan took two steps forward and gently patted his shoulder, whispering to comfort him, "Don't worry, we already have some clues about Achen."
"Really?!" Si Youlin exclaimed in surprise, a hint of joy flashing in his eyes.
Gu Nan forced a smile and replied in a deep voice, "That's right."
As Si Yanxiao listened to their whispers, a strange feeling flashed through his heart.
Just then, the phone rang abruptly, interrupting their conversation.
Si Yanxiao looked at the caller ID, his brows furrowed slightly, a hint of displeasure flashing across his face. After a moment's hesitation, he swiped to answer.
Then, in a cold voice, he asked, "What is it?"
Bai Zhuwei sensed the coldness in his words, her eyes flickered slightly, and then she lowered her voice and replied softly, "I heard that Ah Chen had an accident?"
Seeing that she also knew about this, Si Yanxiao asked in confusion, "How did you know?!"
"Gu Nan has been asking around everywhere, the news has already spread, so it's not surprising that I know about it," Bai Zhuwei explained in a deep voice.
Si Yanxiao didn't expect the news to spread so widely. He glanced coldly at Gu Nan, who looked bewildered and confused. She spread her hands slightly, her eyes indicating what was going on.
Seeing this, before Si Yanxiao could say anything, Bai Zhuwei's voice came through the receiver: "Ayan, I can help you with this."
"Help?" Si Yanxiao's eyes narrowed slightly, and Bai Zhuwei's previous actions flashed through his mind, filling him with doubt.
Instead of refusing outright, he said in a deep voice, "We'll talk when we meet."
Bai Zhuwei heard his tone soften slightly and thought things had taken a turn for the better, so she quickly replied, "Okay."
The two then decided on a meeting place, and Si Yanxiao hung up the phone.
Hearing the busy signal from the other end, Bai Zhuwei's expression was unreadable.
Si Yanxiao's expression was cold and stern, with a hint of displeasure between his brows.
