When Gu Tingxiao left Xiao Anman's room, the door was tightly closed.
Therefore, at this point, Xiao Anman and Zhong Jiayi had no way of discerning anything suspicious from this.
But Doubao's strong reaction speaks volumes.
Although Grandpa Doubao has a bad temper, Doubao is actually not easily startled.
It is usually quite calm and composed.
Xiao An was quite concerned about what Dou Bao had discovered, and was also thinking about whether she should go into the room to take a look.
Anyway, this is her home.
There's no place Xiao Anman can't go.
Zhong Jiayi naturally had no objection to Xiao Anman wanting to go back to her own room.
Moreover, Xiao Anman is the protagonist today, so whatever she says or whatever request she makes can be fulfilled.
Let's go.
Xiao Anman held Zhong Jiayi's hand, while Doubao scouted ahead as the vanguard.
The two men and the dog looked rather smug and proud.
They are very fearless.
That's true, after all, they're in their own home, what could possibly happen?
Although Doubao's warning made them a little more curious and nervous, they were at home, a place they perceived as relatively safe.
Gu Tingxiao had just handed his phone to Secretary Zhou.
The moment I handed the phone over, my heart skipped a beat.
I don't know why, but I suddenly started to panic.
"Mr. Gu, what's wrong?"
Secretary Zhou was such a meticulous person that he noticed anything amiss with his boss immediately.
Gu Tingxiao was the kind of person who would remain calm even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him; very few things would make his face turn so ugly in an instant.
My heart is pounding.
Gu Tingxiao didn't even have time to answer Secretary Zhou's question before turning around and leaving.
His hurried figure made Secretary Zhou feel uneasy.
Money alone wouldn't have caused Gu Tingxiao to change his expression so drastically.
Secretary Zhou certainly knew what kind of person her boss was, but it was precisely because of this understanding that she was particularly worried.
He turned and ordered the search team to intensify their efforts, leaving no detail unchecked, and then gave chase.
Gu Tingxiao's long legs could create a gust of wind as he hurried through the crowd.
Everyone in the Gu family is perceptive.
By this time, the overall program of the banquet was almost over.
After confirming with Secretary Zhou, Gu Xuexi moved all the remaining activities to the Gu family's Qixia Villa.
That place was where the Gu family held high-end banquets, so the guests didn't show any surprise when they heard that the venue was being changed.
For them, having achieved their goal of making a good impression on Gu Tingxiao, the trip was worthwhile.
Besides, guests should follow the host's lead; there's no precedent for causing trouble on someone else's turf.
This is when the mutual help and support among family members truly shines.
Although Gu Xuexi and Gu Tingxiao didn't get along very well before, things have gotten much better recently.
Moreover, seeing Gu Tingxiao lose his composure in public, which was quite rare for him, Gu Xuexi couldn't help but think of the matter as a bit more serious.
However, not knowing what important matter had occurred, they could only ask Madam Gu and the old man for permission to change locations with their guests.
Since it was inconvenient for Gu Tingxiao to appear in person at this time, Gu Xuexi had to take his place.
The following matters are not for Gu Tingxiao to consider at this time.
What he needs to consider is whether Xiao Anman is safe now.
Since they were able to sneak into the Gu family's house with such tight security and then blatantly take all the valuables and jewelry from Xiao Anman's room, it's clear that the person involved is quite resourceful.
Zhong Jiarui sensed an unusual danger, which seemed to be becoming a reality as Gu Xuexi led the guests to relocate.
By this time, most of the people had already left.
Zhong Jiarui glanced around but didn't see Xiao Anman or Zhong Jiayi.
So he quickly set his sights on Gu Tingxiao and followed him upstairs.
Gu Tingxiao walked very fast, so his speed was also very fast.
I practically held my breath as I came to Xiao Anman's room.
When his hand landed on the cold doorknob, Gu Tingxiao somehow found himself holding his breath.
He knew that Xiao Anman had a special identity, but he would give Xiao Anman the best he could within his ability.
Even so, Xiao Anman still got into trouble time and time again while he was by her side.
As a father, no one can accept such a thing happening again.
Gu Tingxiao gripped the doorknob and pushed the door open to enter.
The room was quiet, and Gu Tingxiao didn't notice anything unusual at first glance.
However, this apparent calm could not stop Gu Tingxiao's anxiety.
The room was just as messy as when he left.
However, many details are no longer as complete as before.
Gu Tingxiao went inside, and Zhong Jiarui followed him in.
Upon seeing that the person who came was Zhong Jiarui, Gu Tingxiao did not say anything, which was considered as tacit approval for his entry.
"An'an and the others have disappeared."
Zhong Jiarui speaks very frankly.
