Ch. 281..290
Chapter 281: Waiting to Collect Her Corpse Chapter 281: Waiting to Collect Her Corpse Ye Qingwan was stunned for a second.
She said softly,” Previously, Gu Ziyang was injured by Mu Yuan. It was Xiao Duan who happened to bump into him and sent him to the hospital. A few days ago, Little Duan was on a business trip in the capital and met Gu Ziyang and Mu Yuan again…”
Ye Qingwan told him the simple story.
Leng Xiao’s face was already as black as charcoal.
He gritted his teeth and cursed,” Mu Yuan, you bastard.”
She immediately said to Yu Xin,” I’m going to look for Xiao Duan. You and the nanny will take good care of the child for the next few days.”
Yu Xin had yet to recover from her shock.
He remembered that he had just told Ye Qingwan at home that she was making a fuss.
Meeting Ye Qingwan’s eyes, she turned away awkwardly and said to Leng Xiao considerately,” Xiao, go and find Xiao Duan. I’ll take good care of the family and the child.””
—-
In the hospital ward.
After Gu Shimo finished Fu Yushen’s call, he immediately dialed Ye Qingwan’s number.
The phone rang twice and Ye Qingwan’s voice came through,”Hello, Brother Shi Mo.”
” Wanwan, did Yushen call you? Leng Xiaoduan was taken away near her neighborhood. He said that he looked like Mu Yuan…”
“He told me.”
A call came in. Ye Qingwan glanced at it.
She said to Gu Shimo,”I’ll take this call first.””
She ended the call with Gu Shimo.
She pressed the answer button and just then, she heard a ” Hello.”
A voice came from the other end of the phone,” Ye Qingwan, if you want to save Leng Xiaoduan, come to the capital yourself. Don’t tell anyone, or you’ll have to collect her body.””
“You are Mu Yuan?”
Ye Qingwan asked with a slightly changed expression.
“Don’t worry about who I am. If you want to save Leng Xiaoduan, you have to follow my instructions and come to the capital alone.”
The male voice on the other end of the phone had changed his voice. Ye Qingwan guessed that it was Mu Yuan, but she wasn’t sure.
“Why should I believe you? Let me hear Xiao Gang’s voice first.”
Ye Qingwan calmed herself down. She couldn’t just take whatever the other party said. She had to at least make sure that Xiao Duan was safe.
Wuchang Yu laughed.
The next second, a girl’s scream came from the phone.
He could only utter a single word and silence was restored.
Ye Qingwan frowned.” Let me talk to her.””
“If you want to talk to Leng Xiaoduan, you can talk to him when you come to the capital.”
The other party hung up after saying that.
Ye Qingwan looked at the call log and called him back with an ugly expression.
The phone was switched off.
Ye Qingwan cursed.
She quickly dialed Fu Yushen’s number.
She told Fu Yushen that she had just received a call.
“Wanwan, what did he say to you?”
Fu Yushen asked over the phone.
Ye Qingwan repeated it briefly.
She told Fu Yushen her thoughts.” I’m going to the capital.”
“Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Fu Yushen wanted to send someone to go with him, but he thought that Gu Shimo, who was in the hospital, would definitely be worried about Ye Qingwan going to the capital.
So he decided to accompany her.
That way, Gu Shimo could at least recuperate in peace.
In addition, he had just received clues about Gu Shimo’s attack.
He also wanted to make a trip to the capital personally.
After the call with Fu Yushen, Ye Qingwan asked Gu Feng to drive her to the hospital.
Before she went to the capital, she had to personally explain some things to Gu Shimo.
The main reason was to make him feel at ease.
On the way, Ye Qingwan called Leng Xiao again. Leng Xiao said that he wanted to go to the capital with her.
They set a time to meet at the airport.
As soon as the car stopped outside the hospital, Ye Qingwan got out and walked into the hospital.
When she came out of the elevator, she saw the door of the ward at the end of the corridor.
Gu Shimo was being supported by the bodyguards as he walked out of the ward.
Because of the wound, he bent over, his expression pained.
The bodyguard was still shouting worriedly,” Master, you can’t get out of bed now.”
“Brother Shi Mo.”
Ye Qingwan shouted and ran toward him.
When Gu Shimo heard the voice, he looked up and saw her running over. He stood at the door of the ward and finally became obedient.
” Didn’t the doctor say you can’t get out of bed now? Why did you come down? Where are you going?” Ye Qingwan scolded him angrily.”
Chapter 282: Do You Want to Die? Chapter 282: Do You Want to Die? “I heard from Yushen that you’re going to the capital.”
Ye Qingwan wanted to come to the hospital to tell him personally, so she did not call Gu Shimo.
She didn’t expect him to already know about it from Fu Yushen.
Judging from his expression, he knew that he was going to the capital, so he got out of bed.
He frowned in pain.
Ye Qingwan felt sad again. She said gloomily,” Why didn’t you call me? Why did you get out of bed by yourself?””
“You didn’t even call me. I thought you were angry with me.”
There was a hint of uneasiness in Gu Shimo’s eyes as he pursed his thin lips slightly and looked at her.
Ye Qingwan’s expression changed.” Why would I be angry with you?””
“I was the one who got Mu Yuan out.”
Gu Shimo said calmly,” If I hadn’t asked him to go out and look for Zhao Qinlan, he might not have had any designs on Leng Xiaoduan. After you left in the morning, Ziyang came to the ward.”
At this point, Gu Shimo paused for two seconds.
He stared at Ye Qingwan, concerned about her thoughts.
“Wanwan, I’ll accompany you to the capital to save Leng Xiaoduan.”
Ye Qingwan frowned and said unhappily,” Do you want to die? Are you going to Hillford like this to save Xiao Duan or to ask me to take care of you?”
“Wanwan.”
“I’m not angry.”
Ye Qingwan took a deep breath and said gently,”Brother Shi Mo, you let Mu Yuan out in the hope that he would find Zhao Qinlan. You don’t know what he would do.” None of us have the ability to predict the future. I won’t blame you, but I have to make a trip to the capital personally to bring Little Duan back.”
“I know.”
Gu Shimo’s large hand caressed her cheek.
Her eyes were filled with unease.” But you have to promise me that you will protect yourself and not take risks alone.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart skipped a beat when she saw his concern.
She pursed her lips and replied softly,” I’ll protect myself.””
“When you get there, no matter what the kidnappers tell you or want you to do, you have to discuss it with Yushen. You are not allowed to act alone.”
Gu Shimo’s tone was very serious when he said these words.
In the past five years, she had disappeared without a trace. He had searched the entire South City but could not find that kind of pain. He did not want to experience it again.
“Alright, I agree to everything.”
Ye Qingwan nodded.
Gu Shimo’s expression softened a little.
She said softly,” Help me in.”
Ye Qingwan held his arm and helped him to the bed with the bodyguards.
After Gu Shimo lay back on the bed, the bodyguard left the ward.
The door of the ward was closed from the outside.
Gu Shimo waved at Ye Qingwan.
Wanwan, bend down.”
Ye Qingwan bent down and kissed his lips.
Although Gu Shimo was injured and could not even get out of bed, it did not affect him from kissing the woman he loved.
He caressed Ye Qingwan’s cheek with his broad palm and kissed her gently.
She instructed in a low and hoarse voice,” Wanwan, don’t put yourself in danger.”
“Yes.”
“Let Gu Feng go with you.”
Although Gu Feng had lost three fingers, he was quite skilled and could read lips.
He could protect her by accompanying her to the capital.
Ye Qinglan didn’t want to refuse any of his requests, so she agreed to whatever he said.
Ten minutes later, she came out of the ward.
He gave a few more instructions to the bodyguards at the door before walking towards the elevator.
—-
When Ye Qingwan came out of the elevator, she saw Xue Yunfei walking toward her with fruits in her hands.
Seeing her, Xue Yunfei smiled faintly.
She raised the basket in her hand and said,” Miss Ye, are you going to work?”
“Miss Xue, what is this?”
Ye Qingwan looked at her instead of answering her.
Xue Yunfei raised her eyebrows and smiled.” I have nothing to do today and specially came to accompany Shi Mo. If his injuries are better, I still want to talk business with him.”
“Miss Xue might have to wait a few days. Brother Mo’s injuries are still very serious and he’s not suitable for business.”
“Miss Ye, don’t worry. I won’t force Shi Mo.”
Xue Yunfei laughed again.
He said,” Miss Ye, if you want to go to work, then go quickly. I’ll go up first.””
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and turned around to watch Xue Yunfei enter the elevator.
Just as she was about to turn around, Xue Yunfei’s voice came from the elevator again.
“Miss Ye.”
Chapter 283: Miss Ye is a Smart Person Chapter 283: Miss Ye is a Smart Person Ye Qingwan turned around and saw the elevator door open again.
Xue Yunfei pressed the elevator button with one hand and looked at her with a faint smile.
“Miss Ye, I’ve known Shi Mo for a long time. In the five years that you weren’t in South City, you’ve learned a lot less about him.”
Ye Qingwan smiled.
Looking at Xue Yunfei’s eyes that were as calm as water, he said,” Miss Xue, why don’t you just say what you want to say?””
“Miss Ye is a smart person. I believe you understand. If you really like something, you will know what is best for him and the Gu Corporation.”
Ye Qingwan thought Xue Yunfei was hilarious.
She laughed and said,” Miss Xue, is this a sign of lack of confidence? Because you know that Brother Shi Mo likes you, you’re targeting me. Do you want me to give up and leave or do you want me to do something?”
“Since you understand, why do you need me to say it directly?”
“I understand, but I can’t satisfy your request.”
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows, her eyes light but firm.” I also advise Miss Xue not to force it if it’s not yours.”
—-
Ye Qingwan’s face was cold when she got into the car.
Gu Feng, who was driving, thought that she was worried about Leng Xiaoduan, so he turned back to look at her twice.
He consoled her,” Miss Wanwan, you don’t have to worry so much. Since the kidnappers contacted you, it means Leng Xiaoduan is safe now.”
Ye Qingwan looked at him and said lightly,” I know Xiao Duan is safe now.”
“Then rest for a while. I’ll call you when we reach the airport. You might not be able to rest when you reach the capital.”
“Yes.”
Ye Qingwan slowly closed her eyes.
Recalling Xue Yunyun’s words, she opened her eyes again.
She asked Gu Feng, who was driving in the front row,”Gu Feng, how long have Brother Shi Mo and Xue Yunfei known each other?””
Gu Feng’s eyes flashed.
She thought for a moment before replying,” It was the year you went missing, Miss Wanwan.”
Ye Qingwan frowned slightly.
In other words, they had known each other for five years.
Xue Yunfei’s feelings for Gu Shimo had not happened overnight.
Then why didn’t she pursue him in the past?
“How did they meet?”
“Miss Wanwan, I’m not too sure. It seems like he found a clue that you were in the capital, so he rushed to the capital personally.”
Ye Qingwan pursed her lips and didn’t reply.
Gu Feng’s voice was as calm as the car.
“But in fact, someone deliberately lured Master to the capital. He was attacked there. Although it wasn’t as serious as this time, his injuries weren’t light.”
Ye Qingwan’s heart tightened.
“Could it be that Xue Yunfei saved Brother Shi Mo?””
“It’s true that Miss Xue passed by at that time. Master took her car to the hospital.”
Gu Feng said with certainty,”Brother Zuo is more clear about the specific details, I also heard him say it later.” Miss Wanwan, if you think more clearly…I can ask Brother Zuo Zhi later.”
“No need.”
Ye Qingwan shook her head and turned to the window.
—-
When they arrived at the airport, Leng Xiao, Fu Yushen, and the others were already there.
Fu Yushen even brought two subordinates with him.
The six of them took the same flight to Hillford.
At the airport.
Someone watched them go through the security check and return to the car outside.
Until their plane soared into the sky.
The person dialed a number.
In the hospital.
Xue Yunfei sat on the chair in front of the hospital bed, peeling an apple with a fruit knife.
With a smile on her face, she said to Shi Mo,” Do you still remember when we were in the Imperial Capital, I also peeled an apple for you every day?”
Gu Shimo was a little absent-minded and did not seem to have heard her.
Xue Yunfei continued to reminisce about the past.” At that time, your fiancee Bai Shanshan rushed to the capital. You’re still jealous when you see me peeling an apple for you.”
“Miss Xue, aren’t you busy coming to South City? If you’re busy, go back and try your luck.”
“Are you looking down on me?”
Xue Yunfei asked half-jokingly.
Gu Shimo said seriously,” It’s not that you dislike me. I just don’t want to cause unnecessary misunderstandings. Wanwan doesn’t like me interacting with the opposite sex, so I appreciate Miss Xue’s good intentions. When I recover, Wanwan and I will treat you to a meal.”
Chapter 284: Why Don’t We Start From the Cemetery? Chapter 284: Why Don’t We Start From the Cemetery? “There’s no hurry to eat.”
Xue Yunfei seemed to be in a good mood.
She smiled gently.” You should recover first. We’re working together. It’s only a matter of time before we eat.”
“Then I’ll treat you to a meal after I recover.”
At this point, Gu Shimo paused for a moment before continuing,” I’m a little sleepy. You can go back first.”
“I have nothing to do anyway. I’ll wait here for you to wake up.”
“No, this is not convenient.”
Gu Shimo’s tone became lighter.
He picked up the phone beside his pillow and called the bodyguard outside.
The door of the ward was pushed open from the outside, and the bodyguard’s voice came from the door.” Master, what are your orders?”
Hearing the bodyguard’s voice, Xue Yunfei turned around in surprise.
She wanted to retract her gaze and look at Gu Shimo, who was lying on the hospital bed. A hint of disappointment flashed across her eyes.
She heard him say,” Send Miss Xue downstairs.”
“Yes, sir.”
The bodyguard strode over and said to her politely,” Miss Xue, please.””
Xue Yunfei nodded.
She placed the half-peeled apple on the bedside table and said to Gu Shimo,”Shi Mo, rest well. I’ll go back first.””
She picked up her bag and walked out of the ward without looking back.
—-
Xue Yunfei knew that her phone was vibrating in her bag.
She just did not want anyone or anything to disturb her and Gu Shimo’s alone time.
After exiting the elevator, she took out her phone and unlocked it. When she saw the caller ID, a cold glint flashed across her eyes.
She walked to the roadside and got into the car.
Only then did Xue Yunfei dial the number she had just dialed.
“Miss, Ye Qingwan is already on the plane.”A respectful voice came from the other end of the phone.
Xue Yunfei laughed softly.” You go back to the capital. Okay.” If she can’t stay there for two more days, you can keep her there for two more days.”
“Yes, big miss, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl, a big girl
The more Xue Yunfei thought about it, the happier she became.
This morning, she was still thinking about how to make Ye Qingwan leave for a few days.
He had even thought of kidnapping Ye Qingwan, but he ruled it out.
However, before they could do anything, Ye Qingwan’s good friend, Leng Xiaoduan, had disappeared.
When Xue Yunfei received the news, she felt that the heavens were helping her.
Therefore, when Ye Qingwan was not in South City, she would take care of Gu Shimo on his behalf.
If possible, she would directly replace everything.
“Young Miss, I saw Young Master Yang. He seems to be returning to the capital.”
“Yang Feng?”
Xue Yunfei was a little surprised.” Is Tang Yiheng with him?”
“No, Young Master Yang is alone. He bought a ticket back to the capital. Miss, should I take a late flight?”
“What’s the matter? Don’t feel guilty.”
Yang Feng and Ye Qingwan were friends, so that person felt guilty.
Yang Feng took the boarding pass and strode toward the security checkpoint while making a call.
She did not know why, but she heard him telling the person on the other end of the phone,” I’ve sent you the photo. We’ve used all the manpower we can. We have to find her.””
Because he was on the phone, Yang Feng did not notice the person beside him.
After he finished explaining what he needed to say.
Yang Feng remembered to call Tang Yiheng.
He told him that he was going back to the Imperial Capital and would return to South City in a few days.
“Why are you going back to Hillford? Didn’t you go back only after you found me?”
Tang Yiheng’s voice came from the phone.
Yang Feng said lightly,” I have some private matters that are very important. If you have any clues about Aunty, remember to tell me. I will be back soon.””
“I’ve been very busy these few days. I might not have time to check.”
“It’s okay. Just wait for me to come back.”Anyway, after so many years, there was no need to rush for a few days.
“Ah Feng, I’ll provide you with a place. Perhaps you can find some clues.”
Tang Yiheng said after a moment of silence.
Yang Feng immediately asked,” Where? Tell me.”
“Cemetery.”
“Cemetery?”
Yang Feng frowned and tightened his grip on his phone.
It was not that he had not considered that place before.
But he was not willing to accept the result of that, so he did not go.
Tang Yiheng was obviously calmer and more ruthless than him.
“There hasn’t been any news from Aunt for so many years. Whether we’re willing to accept it or not, we have to consider the worst outcome. Instead of searching the entire world without any clues, it would be better to wake up early from the cemetery.”
—-
Chapter 285: Going to Another Hotel Hotel Alone Chapter 285: Going to Another Hotel Hotel Alone Yang Feng felt that Tang Yi’s words made sense.
Although everyone did not want to see the death of the young lady, there had been no news of her for so many years. They had to consider this point.
“Alright, I’ll go to the cemetery to investigate later.”
After hanging up, he followed the crowd into the security checkpoint.
—-
Ye Qingwan received a call from Gu Ziyang as soon as she got off the plane.
Wanwan, where are you?”
“I just arrived in Hillford.”
Fu Yushen and Leng Xiao slowed down when they saw her on the phone. Gu Feng walked behind her.
Gu Ziyang’s voice traveled into her ears through the radio waves. There was a hint of urgency in his voice.” Is there news about Xiao Duan?”
Ye Qingwan glanced at Leng Xiao, who was walking beside her, and said lightly,” Call me when you have time. Tell me to come to the capital if I want to save Xiao Duan.””
“Who is it? Mu Yuan?”
Gu Ziyang asked worriedly,” Wanwan, you went to the capital alone? Does Gu Shimo know?”
“I didn’t come alone. Brother Shi Mo also knows that. As for the person who called me, his voice has changed. I can’t tell who he is.”
“Wanwan, don’t you blame my brother at all? If it wasn’t for him letting Mu Yuan out, Mu Yuan wouldn’t have targeted Little Duan. If it wasn’t for him, I can’t figure out who kidnapped Little Duan.”
Gu Ziyang’s voice was loud.
Leng Xiao heard what he said and looked at Ye Qingwan.
Ye Qingwan frowned.” We still don’t know who kidnapped Xiao Duan. We’re about to get in the car. I’ll contact you later.””
After saying that, she hung up the phone.
He got into the car.
Leng Xiao turned around and asked Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, what did Gu Ziyang mean by those words?”
Ye Qingwan hesitated for two seconds before telling Leng Xiao what had happened.
The person who was kidnapped was Little Duan, Leng Xiao’s biological sister. If the person who kidnapped her was really Mu Yuan, Leng Xiao would find out sooner or later.
Leng Xiao’s expression turned ugly after hearing his words.
He turned around silently until the car reached the destination. Then, he turned back to say something to Ye Qingwan.
Although the other party had contacted Ye Qingwan.
However, Ye Qingwan and the others were still in a passive position and could not contact the kidnappers.
When they reached the hotel room, Ye Qingwan sent Gu Shimo another message.
Then, she continued to charge her phone, which still had 70% power left, and waited for the kidnapper to contact her again.
The waiting time was very long.
Fu Yushen and Leng Xiao waited with Ye Qingwan in her room for two hours.
Fu Yushen’s suggestion to let Ye Wanwan take a nap was rejected by her.
“I’m not sleeping. The kidnappers should know that we’ve arrived in Hillford. Why haven’t they contacted me yet?”
Leng Xiao said coldly,” It’s precisely because he knows that we’ve arrived at the capital together that he deliberately hung up on you and did not contact you.”
“Then I’ll go and stay in a hotel alone. I won’t stay with you.”
Ye Qingwan was about to leave with her phone and luggage.
Fu Yushen grabbed her.” Wanwan, you can’t stay in a hotel by yourself. We don’t even know what the kidnappers ‘intentions are. It’s too dangerous for you to do this.”
He walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the city outside.
The floor they lived on wasn’t very high, and Fu Yushen had good eyesight, so he could see the people on the ground clearly.
However, he didn’t discover anything.
Ye Qingwan furrowed her eyebrows and lowered her head in deep thought.” We came to the capital to save Xiao Duan. It’s been a long time since last night.” The longer Duan stayed with the kidnappers, the more unsafe it was for her.”
Leng Xiao and Fu Yushen frowned in disapproval.
Ye Qingwan said,” He’ll only contact me if I book a room at the hotel next door.”
“Then wait a moment. I’ll call and arrange for a few people to stay in that hotel first before you go.”
Fu Yushen said as he took out his phone.
“Who are you calling?”
“It’s not someone the kidnappers know.”
Fu Yushen knew what she was worried about and gave Ye Qingwan a comforting smile.
Two minutes later.
He hung up and said to Ye Qingwan,” Wanwan, check out of the room in an hour and stay at the hotel next door.”
Leng Xiao asked worriedly,” Is this okay? Can you guarantee Wanwan’s safety?”
Xiao Duan was already under the kidnappers ‘control. He couldn’t let Wanwan fall into the kidnappers’ hands again.
Chapter 286: Protect YourYourself Chapter 286: Protect YourYourself Fu Yushen explained,” The people I arranged for are plainclothes. They will protect Wanwan.”
Ye Qingwan comforted Leng Xiao.” Don’t worry, Brother Leng Xiao. No matter what the kidnapper’s intentions are, the kidnapper has already caught Xiao Duan and can bring me from South City to the capital. He doesn’t have to do it at the hotel.” No need.”
Leng Xiao nodded stiffly.” Be careful. You have to protect yourself first.”
“I will.”
An hour later.
Ye Qingwan checked out of the room and walked out of the hotel alone with her suitcase.
She looked up and went to the hotel next door.
She asked the front desk to book a room, but she didn’t like the floor that the front desk told her at first.
“Are there any other rooms? Can I choose?”
Perhaps because Ye Qingwan’s expression was a little cold, the receptionist nodded.
“Miss, you choose.”
Ye Qingwan glanced at the receptionist.
She lowered her eyes and stared at the empty room on the computer.
Then, he casually pointed.” This one.”
This was the floor where the plainclothes officers lived. The room Ye Qingwan wanted was next to the plainclothes officers ‘room.
The receptionist asked hesitantly,” Miss, can’t I go to another floor?”
Ye Qingwan raised her eyebrows and her voice became colder.” Why? Is this room reserved or are you saving it for someone else?””
“Neither.”
The other party smiled awkwardly.
Ye Qingwan put her ID card back into her bag.” Then give me the room card.””
—-
On the outskirts of the capital.
In a room on the fifth floor of a residential building.
Mu Yuan smoked his cigarette and looked coldly at the unconscious Leng Xiaoduan on the ground.
Her skin was soft and tender, and she looked delicate and pretty.
If it was a virgin, it would be worth a lot of money.
He spat out a mouthful of smoke and a lewd smile appeared in his eyes.
She also wanted to leave a good impression on Brother Long. He really wanted to try her.
His gaze fell on her chest, and his eyes darkened.
Pushing out the cigarette butt in his hand to make the balance.
Just as he was about to reach out to her, his phone rang.
Mu Yuan frowned and picked up the phone. He said,” Hello.”
A woman’s voice came from the other end of the phone.
“Brother Mu, that Ye Qingwan checked into my hotel.”
“Is she alone?”
Mu Yuan sneered.
It seemed that they were still very smart.
He knew that being with Ye Qingwan meant endless waiting.
So Ye Qingwan moved out of the hotel and checked into the hotel next door.
“Yes, she moved in alone, but she chose her own room.”
“I understand.”
..
After hanging up the phone, Mu Yuan smiled coldly.
The room he chose.
Before Ye Qingwan checked into the hotel, two other men had stayed on the same floor as her.
“Let’s see who can afford to waste time.”
Mu Yuan thought for a moment, then picked up the cap and mask on the table and put them on.
He walked out of the room and said a few words to the blonde at the door.
Then, she went downstairs and drove away.
Leng Xiaoduan woke up after Mu Yuan left.
She opened her eyes and found herself tied up.
Fear flashed in her eyes. Her mouth was gagged and she couldn’t speak. There was no one in the room.
However, the sound of someone making a phone call could be heard outside the door.
Leng Xiaoduan calmed down and told himself not to be afraid.
She recalled what had happened last night. When she looked around the room, she was at a loss.
Where was this place?
Who kidnapped her?
She didn’t even know.
If she had not been tied up for so long and needed to go to the toilet, she would not have dared to scream.
However, it was too uncomfortable now, so Leng Xiaoduan could only make a sound.
Someone pushed the door open and entered.
It was a yellow-haired man with a cigarette in his mouth. He walked towards her like a hooligan.” You’re finally awake?”
“Wu wu…”
Leng Xiaoduan looked at him pleadingly, struggling to speak.
The blonde walked over and looked down at her for a few seconds.
I can let you speak, but you must promise not to speak nonsense. Otherwise, I’ll deal with you here and let my brothers have their fun.”
Leng Xiaoduan nodded repeatedly.
The next second, the blonde bent down and removed the cloth from her mouth.
Ignoring the pain in her mouth, she said anxiously,” I want to go to the toilet.”
Chapter 287: Would Rather Die… Chapter 287: Would Rather Die… “You need to go to the toilet?”
The blonde looked at Leng Xiaoduan coldly.
Leng Xiaoduan nodded and said anxiously,” Yes, I want to go to the toilet. I don’t care why you kidnapped me, but you can’t stop me from going to the toilet.””
“..”
The yellow-haired guy frowned and seemed to be thinking seriously.
Leng Xiaoduan continued,” If you don’t let me go, the whole house will stink.”
Hearing her say that the whole house was smelly, the blonde couldn’t help but reveal a disgusted expression.
He pulled Leng Xiaoduan up from the ground.” The toilet is over there. Go there yourself.””
“How can I go with my hands tied?”
“You want me to untie you?”
“I don’t even know where this is. Anyway, I’ve been hungry for a whole day. I don’t have the strength to run. Even if you relieve me, I’ll just go to the toilet.”
What Leng Xiaoduan said made sense.
The yellow-haired guy nodded and untied her roughly.
He warned her fiercely,” Don’t try to play any tricks. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.””
Li Xiaoduan’s leg, which had been tied up for the whole night, was in great pain. She frowned and walked to the bathroom with difficulty.
The yellow-haired guy was relieved to see that she couldn’t even walk properly.
He sat down on the sofa. He lit the cigarette in his mouth and started to puff.
In the toilet.
Leng Xiaoduan finished his business and carefully walked to the window.
He looked outside.
This was the fifth floor.
There were still four floors below. It was unknown if they were in South City or had already left South City.
She didn’t have time to carefully observe where she was.
All of his attention was focused on the small space downstairs where the air-conditioner was placed. There was no anti-theft window in the bathroom.
If she were to jump down from here, she had some confidence.
Leng Xiaoduan thought about the blonde outside and his current situation.
Instead of being passive, it was better to take the initiative to escape.
Even if he missed, falling to his death was better than falling into the hands of the kidnappers.
She carefully opened the window and was about to climb up when she heard Goldie’s voice outside.” Are you done?””
Leng Xiaoduan’s face changed.
She quickly sat back on the toilet and pretended to be in pain.” Not yet. I think I have diarrhea. Do you have any medicine to stop diarrhea?”
“Don’t play tricks on me.”
The blonde warned in disbelief.
Leng Xiaoduan continued in a pained voice,” If you don’t believe me, you can come in and take a look if you’re not afraid of the stench.”
“You’re so f * cking disgusting.”
When the blonde heard Leng Xiaoduan asking him to go to the toilet, he immediately took two steps back in disgust.
She stared at the bathroom door and said,” There’s no medicine. Come out quickly.””
“Okay, I’ll go out after I’m done.”
Leng Xiaoduan pretended to exert all his strength while pricking up his ears to listen to the movements outside.
When she heard the blonde’s footsteps leave, she immediately got up and climbed up the window.
The window of the washroom was high, so it was not easy to climb up.
She tried twice, but she couldn’t climb up.
On the third time, she finally climbed up to the window. When she crouched down and looked down, she realized that it was much scarier than when she was standing below.
So high.
If he couldn’t catch it, he would fall to the ground.
Leng Xiaoduan bit her lip as she observed and rehearsed in her heart.
When he jumped down later, how should he grab something?
Before she could think of it, the blonde’s fierce voice came from outside.” B * tch, come out quickly.”
“..”
Leng Xiaoduan sat on the window and did not dare to speak.
The blonde waited outside for a moment, but she didn’t answer. He shouted even louder,” You bitch, what are you doing inside?”
As soon as he finished speaking, he kicked the door.
Leng Xiaoduan listened to the sound of panting and did not dare to delay for another second. He let go and jumped down.
Chapter 288: Quickly Come Back and Save Me Chapter 288: Quickly Come Back and Save Me A minute after Leng Xiaoduan jumped out of the window, the bathroom door was kicked open by the blonde.
Seeing that there was no one in the bathroom, the blonde cursed,” Bitch!” He rushed to the window and looked down.
There was only a lawn and a few roses downstairs.
There was no one.
His expression changed a few times before he turned around to look behind him.
The door was against the wall, and there was no place to hide in the bathroom. However, there was no one on the floor downstairs.
Where would this woman go?
He retracted his gaze from the ground. From the fourth floor to the second floor, there was no place to land.
The air-conditioning seats were not directly facing the window. Leng Xiaoduan was a woman. It was impossible for her to jump to the air-conditioning seats downstairs.
However, the blonde couldn’t care less.
He was panicking in his heart now. Leng Xiaoduan was missing, and he had no way to report to Mu Yuan.
The most important thing was not that Mu Yuan was terrifying, but that Brother Long was. Brother Long had sent him to assist Mu Yuan…
Thinking of this, the yellow-haired man turned around and rushed out. He searched the bedroom, living room, and balcony before rushing downstairs.
He knocked on the door on the fourth floor.
After knocking for a long time, no one opened the door. The blonde rushed straight to the first floor.
After looking up from the window, he returned to his room on the fifth floor.
After hesitating for a moment.
He grabbed a chair and smashed it on his head. In an instant, he was in so much pain that he saw stars and blood flowed down.
However, he did not faint.
He got up from the ground and grabbed the rope that was used to tie Leng Xiaoduan up. After tying himself up messily, he tied a loose knot.
Afraid that he would bleed to death, the blonde waited for two minutes.
She dialed Mu Yuan’s number.
The phone rang a few times. Mu Yuan’s voice was heard, mixed with the sound of a car horn. One could tell that they were on the road.
“Hello,”
“Brother Mu, that b * tch ran away.”
The yellow-haired guy pretended to be weak, panting as he spoke.
He had worked as an extra for a year, and now he was using all the acting skills he had learned back then.
Mu Yuan’s voice suddenly rose.” Why did he run away? Why didn’t you chase after her? Why did you call her?”
“Brother Mu, she knocked me out and tied me up before running away. I called you as soon as I woke up. There’s a lot of blood on my head. Brother Mu, come back and save me, save…”
He didn’t finish.
He let go of his hand and smashed his phone onto the ground.
On the other end of the phone, Mu Yuan hadn’t arrived at the hotel Ye Qingwan was staying at.
He cursed when he heard the blonde go silent. He remembered that the blonde was Brother Long’s man, so he turned the car around at the intersection and drove back.

In the hotel.
Ye Qingwan’s phone rang.
Standing in front of the floor-to-ceiling window, she immediately ran to the bed and picked up her phone.
When she saw that the call was from an unfamiliar number, she instinctively thought that it was from the kidnappers. She quickly pressed the answer button.
“Hello,”
“Sister Wanwan, it’s me.”
“Little Duan, where are you staying?”
Hearing Leng Xiaoduan’s voice, Ye Qingwan asked excitedly.
She tightened her grip on her phone.
” Sister Wanwan, I’m in a residential area in the suburbs of Imperial City. I’m in someone else’s house and I just called the police, so I don’t dare to leave…”
Leng Xiaoduan told Ye Qingwan the name and address of the neighborhood.
“Wait there. We’ll pick you up immediately.”
Ye Qingwan walked toward the door as she spoke.
She then asked,” I’ll call you later. Get the owner of this phone to answer the call.”
“Sister Wanwan, you can reach me by calling this number.”
Leng Xiaoduan lowered his voice.” That person has a bad temper.”
“Alright, I understand.”
After hanging up the phone, Ye Qingwan gave up the idea of knocking on the door of the plainclothes officer opposite her.
She dialed Fu Yushen’s number directly.
Two minutes later.
When Ye Qingwan walked out of the hotel, she saw Fu Yushen, Leng Xiao, and the others coming out of the hotel next door.
In the car, Fu Yushen told her,” I’ve already called and asked. The police are on their way over. They’ll contact us later.”
Ye Qingwan’s anxious heart finally settled down.
She turned to look at Leng Xiao.” Brother Leng Xiao, Xiao Duan is fine now.””
“Wanwan, did Duan say who kidnapped her?”
Leng Xiao asked after two seconds of silence.
Chapter 289: Injured Chapter 289: Injured Ye Qingwan shook her head.” I forgot to ask. I only wanted to ask for her location when I received Xiao Duan’s call.””
“It’s okay. It’s not too late to ask her later.”
Leng Xiao comforted her before turning to look out the window.
There was a message on his phone.
Ye Qingwan opened her WeChat. It was a message from Gu Shimo.
[Wanwan, did the kidnappers contact you again?]
[The kidnappers didn’t contact me, but I received a call from Xiao Duan. She escaped on her own. We’re on our way to pick her up.]
[Are you alone?]
[No.]
Ye Qingwan raised her phone and took a photo to send to Gu Shimo.
—-
South City, in the hospital ward.
Gu Shimo looked at the photos and looked up at Gu Ziyang, who was standing in front of the hospital bed.” Wanwan said that Leng Xiaoduan escaped and they’re on their way to pick her up.”
Gu Ziyang’s eyes lit up.
However, he quickly frowned.” What do you mean by ‘escaped and waited for Wanwan to pick him up’? Is she injured?”
“Wanwan didn’t say. It’s probably because Leng Xiaoduan was afraid of being caught by the kidnappers and hid, not daring to run.”
Gu Shimo’s words did not appease Gu Ziyang.
Gu Ziyang did not believe him at all.
However, he was in South City and had no choice but to wait in the ward.
Gu Shimo saw that he was in a state of anxiety and asked calmly,” Has Zhao Qinlan contacted you yet?”
“No, I haven’t.”
Gu Ziyang answered coldly.
Gu Shimo said thoughtfully,” Why don’t you go to work in the company?”
Gu Ziyang sneered and questioned,” Aren’t you afraid that I’ll fight for power with you?”
“I’m not afraid.”
Gu Shimo said calmly.
Gu Ziyang did not have the ability to do so.
Even if he had that ability, there was nothing to be afraid of.
As long as he was sincere about the development of the company, he could give it to him.
Gu Ziyang snorted coldly and rejected him indifferently.” I won’t join your company. I’m not interested in those things.”
She saw his resistance.
The corners of Gu Shimo’s lips curled up into a smile.” If you enter the company, will Zhao Qinlan take the initiative to contact you?””
“What do you mean?” Gu Ziyang frowned.
“It means what it says.”
Gu Shimo said casually,” There have been some elders in the company making strange noises these past two days. I’m wondering if this matter has something to do with Zhao Qinlan.”
All these years, the school had completely ignored the company’s matters.
Before Gu Shimo took over the company, Zhao Qinlan had been making many decisions in the Gu Corporation.
Even after he took over the company, Zhao Qinlan did not completely let go.
It was Zhao Qinlan’s men from before.
Gu Shimo did not change it?
In the past two days, there had been some people who took advantage of their seniority, both openly and secretly.
She was going against him and the company.
Gu Ziyang did not know anything about his company and was not interested in business.
Even if it was really related to Zhao Qinlan, he was not willing to enter the company and become a pawn of Gu Shimo and Zhao Qinlan.
“She’s a wanted criminal now. How could she have any ideas about your company?”
Gu Ziyang mocked,” If you’re so worried, you can fire those people. I promised to find her, and I will use my own methods.”
“Alright, then use your own method.”
Gu Shimo did not want to force Gu Ziyang. With their current relationship, no matter what he said or did, Gu Ziyang would resist.

In the capital.
Ye Qingwan and the others hadn’t arrived at the address Leng Xiaoduan had given them.
Fu Yushen’s phone rang. When he saw the caller ID, he immediately picked up the phone and turned on the speaker so that the others in the car could hear it.
“Chief Fu, we’ve already received Leng Xiaoduan…”
Before he could finish the call, Fu Yushen saw a police car coming from the opposite direction.
The other party also saw them.
The car stopped. Ye Qingwan hailed a cab and rushed down. She saw Leng Xiaoduan getting out of the car in front of her.
“Xiao Duan, you’re injured. Is it serious? Let’s go to the hospital to clean and bandage you up.”
Ye Qingwan said with concern after hugging Leng Xiaoduan.
Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes were filled with tears.” Sister Qingwan, I’m fine now. Why did you really listen to Mu Yuan and rush to the capital?”
Just now, the police officer who called Fu Yushen said that Leng Xiaoduan’s arm was injured.
When she saw his arm, her heart tightened.
“The person who kidnapped you, Mu Yuan?”
Leng Xiao asked with a dark face.
Leng Xiaoduan’s eyes flickered as he nodded stiffly.
“It’s him. Brother, I’m fine now. Don’t be angry.”
Leng Xiao took a deep breath and said,” Let’s go to the hospital and bandage your wound first. Then, we’ll talk slowly.””
A few steps away, Fu Yushen was talking to his colleagues.
When he heard Leng Xiao’s words, he turned around and said to them,” You guys go to the hospital first. I’ll go back to the hotel later.””
Then,
He also asked the two subordinates he brought from South City to follow Leng Xiao, Ye Qingwan, and the others to the hospital.
He returned to the neighborhood where Leng Xiaoduan was kidnapped to look for clues.
When the police arrived, they didn’t find the kidnapper in the room where Leng Xiaoduan was locked up.
There was blood on the ground. They had already collected it and brought it back for DNA testing.
Ten minutes later.
Fu Yushen arrived at his destination.
After getting out of the car, he looked up at the building in front of him.
He walked into the neighborhood with a few police officers.
He first went to the fourth floor and knocked on the door. After waiting for a minute, no one answered the door.
They wanted to tell the other party through the door that they were the police.
After waiting for another minute, the door opened from the inside.
A man in a sleeping robe appeared at the door. His devilish face was filled with displeasure.
“Are you so great just because you’re the police? If you disturb my sleep, I’ll file a complaint.”
Fu Yushen didn’t expect this person to have such a bad temper.
She immediately smiled and said,” I’m sorry to disturb you. Are you the owner of this place?”
The evil-doer rolled his eyes.” They’ve already asked these questions just now. How many times do you want me to answer them before you believe me? It was that woman who jumped to my window. If I hadn’t reached out to pull her, she would have jumped to the ground and died.”
“We want to understand the situation.”
“Understand what? Come back when I wake up. I’ve already answered everything that needs to be answered. If I save people and even save them from trouble, then the next time someone jumps off my building, I’ll watch him fall to his death and not save him. It saves you guys from bothering me time and time again.”
After he finished speaking, he did not care about Fu Yushen and the others ‘expressions.
He slammed the door shut with a bang.
Fu Yushen turned around and asked the two police officers who were with him,” When you asked him just now, did he have the same attitude?”
The two of them nodded in embarrassment and smiled awkwardly.
“Chief Fu, he doesn’t have a good temper. I’ll tell you in detail later. Let’s go upstairs first.”
Chapter 290: Fell Down the Stairs Chapter 290: Fell Down the Stairs Imperial Hospital.
When Ye Qingwan and the others arrived at the hospital, Yang Feng had just arrived.
On the way, Ye Qingwan received a call from Yang Feng, telling her that he was going to the hospital. Yang Feng rushed to the hospital immediately.
Leng Xiaoduan’s injury was not very serious.
After cleaning, he bandaged the wound.
It only took half an hour to finish.
However, the police officer accompanying him said that Leng Xiaoduan was needed to make a statement.
Hence, everyone accompanied Leng Xiaoduan to the police station.
After finishing the statement, Leng Xiao called Leng Xiaoduan to his room when they returned to the hotel.
When Yang Feng learned that Ye Qingwan was staying alone in a hotel, he said that he wanted to stay at her hotel.
“Young Master Yang, it might not be convenient for you and Wanwan to stay in the same hotel.”
Gu Feng, who had been trying to minimize his presence, suddenly interrupted.
Yang Feng raised his eyebrows and asked doubtfully,” Why is it inconvenient? I’m not sharing a room with Wanwan. What are you worried about?”
Gu Feng was speechless.
Seeing him mute, I’m afraid I’m going to go to the Center.
Yang Feng was excited and smiled.” When we were overseas, I even shared a bed with Wanwan.”
“..”
Gu Feng’s expression changed.
He looked at Yang Feng unhappily.
” Stop teasing Gu Feng,” Ye Qingwan stopped him, amused.” He’ll really get angry later.””
Then, Ye Qingwan said to Gu Feng,” Don’t listen to him. He’s my good friend. We’ve known each other for five years.”
She paused for a moment before adding,” It was all thanks to Yang Feng’s care when we were overseas.”
Upon hearing this, Gu Feng calmed down and thanked him stiffly,” Yang Sheng, thank you for taking care of Miss Gu Wanwan previously.”
Yang Feng raised an eyebrow.” There’s no need to thank me. I don’t care about verbal thanks.””
“Wanwan, let’s go up and take a look at your room.”
Just as he was about to put his hand on Ye Qingwan’s shoulder, Gu Feng’s voice suddenly sounded again.
“Young Master Yang, you can tell me what you want to thank me. As long as I, Gu Feng, can do it and give it to you, there’s no problem.”
Gu Feng was quite good-looking, and he was a little introverted.
It gave off a delicate feeling.
Yang Feng looked at his serious eyes and rubbed his chin.” I’ll owe you for now. Aren’t you Wanwan’s bodyguard? I’ll tell you when I need you.”
I’m the bodyguard of the lady in the house.”
When she returned to the room upstairs, Ye Qingwan received a call from Fu Yushen.
Fu Yushen said over the phone,” Wanwan, go back with Leng Xiaoduan and the rest first. I might have to stay in the capital for a few days. I’ll return to South City after I catch Mu Yuan.””
“No clues?”
Ye Qingwan frowned and sounded worried.
A few clues to the system
Fu Yushen didn’t explain clearly since it was related to the case.
He only told Ye Qingwan and the others to go back first.
“Okay, I’ll book the plane tickets in a while. We’ll go back today.”
Ye Qingwan did not want to stay in the capital for too long. She was still worried about Gu Shimo’s injury.
In addition, Nancheng also had Xue Yunfei.
However, just as he hung up Fu Yushen’s call and was about to ask Gu Feng to book a plane ticket…
Two steps away, Yang Feng’s phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Yang Feng pressed the answer button and called out happily,” Uncle.””
What did the person on the other end of the phone say? The smile on Yang Feng’s face instantly disappeared.
Her beautiful brows furrowed as she asked worriedly,” How did this happen? What did the doctor say?”
Hearing this, Ye Qingwan fixed her eyes on Yang Feng.
Although he couldn’t hear what the person on the other end said to him.
However, from the change in Yang Feng’s expression, it could be seen that his grandfather’s condition was not very good.
After hanging up, Yang Feng said to Ye Qingwan calmly,” Wanwan, I can’t go back to South City with you. My grandfather fell down the stairs and hit his head on a potted plant. He’s in the hospital for emergency treatment now, so I have to rush to the hospital immediately.”
“I’ll go to the hospital with you.”
Ye Qingwan blurted out.
She had known Yang Feng for five years and even knew some of his relatives.
Among them was Yang Feng’s grandfather.
Elder Tang.
Previously, when she was overseas, she had called Elder Tang a few times because Elder Tang had seen Zixi in a video call with Yang Feng.
The old master fell in love with Zixi.
