Chapter 481: Hate Her

How could Gu Ziyang have the face to continue calling Gu Shimo ’brother’?

Gu Shimo only looked up when he heard the voice.

Seeing Gu Ziyang’s pale face, he asked calmly," Ziyang, when did you arrive?"

Although Zhao Qinlan was listed as the first suspect, he was full of hatred towards her.

However, Gu Shimo was clear about gratitude and resentment. Gu Ziyang was innocent after all, so he did not vent his anger on Gu Ziyang.

"Have you eaten breakfast?"

"I’ve eaten." Gu Ziyang’s nose turned sour.

Zhao Qinlan had done so many bad things, and now she actually laid her hands on a child. As Zhao Qinlan’s son, he was so ashamed that he couldn’t even hide his face.

However, Gu Shimo still spoke to him kindly and cared about him as usual.

This was a hundred times worse than the last time Leng Xiao had used his fist to greet him.

"Haven’t you eaten yet? Where’s Wanwan? Is she feeling better?"

"Yes, she’s better. It’s rare for her to sleep so soundly today. Come and sit." View the correct content at NovelFire.

Gu Shimo patted the seat beside him and waved at him.

Gu Ziyang sniffed and pursed his lips. He walked over slowly and sat down next to him timidly.

"Brother, did the kidnappers contact you later?"

Gu Ziyang rubbed his thighs uneasily and asked.

"Yes, I am. He sent us a package and threatened us not to investigate further."

Gu Shimo briefly told her about how he had received Ye Zixi’s school uniform nameplate last time.

Gu Ziyang’s thoughts were in turmoil. However, he knew that he had no right to be indignant.

"Brother, do you really think my mother did it?"

On the list of suspects on the coffee table, Zhao Qinlan’s name was so eye-catching that Gu Ziyang could not pretend not to notice it.

Gu Shimo had also noticed that Gu Ziyang’s gaze would occasionally drift to the piece of paper on the coffee table. He had no intention of avoiding Gu Ziyang.

"I don’t have clear evidence. I just made a reasonable guess."

Gu Shimo then told Gu Ziyang the reason why he had used the elimination method to eliminate the other names one by one.

"After eliminating the other impossible options, this is the only option left."

Gu Shimo glanced at the name on the paper and then looked at Gu Ziyang.

"So, Zhao Qinlan is indeed the biggest suspect."

Gu Ziyang looked ashamed and didn’t know what to say.

The atmosphere suddenly became a little awkward

Suddenly, there was a noise from the stairs. Ye Qingwan came down.

She had a good sleep and did not have any messy dreams. If she had not been in a hurry to go to the toilet, she would have slept for a while.

She casually found a dress and put it on. This dress was originally suitable for her, but after wearing it today, she realized that her waist was at least two inches loose. The lacing that came with the dress was originally used for decoration, but now she had to tighten the lacing, otherwise the dress would become a size bigger.

Hearing the commotion, Gu Shimo stood up first and walked towards the stairs.

"You’re awake?"

"Yes." Ye Qingwan nodded slightly, her voice sounding a little hoarse.

"When did Brother Ziyang come?" NovelFire

Gu Ziyang walked over and saw Ye Qingwan’s long hair hanging down. It seemed to have not been combed and looked a little messy. His face was pale, his cheeks were sunken, and his waist was obviously thinner. He looked emaciated and haggard.

"Wanwan..."

In just two or three days, Ye Qingwan had become like this. What kind of sin and suffering had she suffered?

Gu Ziyang’s heart was heavy. He was disappointed and hated Zhao Qinlan.

He hated her for being so cold and heartless. He hated her for abandoning him and running away alone. He hated her for not repenting after making one mistake after another...

"I’ve also just arrived."

Gu Ziyang felt guilty towards Ye Qingwan and didn’t dare to look her in the eye.

"It’s still early. Actually, you can still sleep a little longer."

Gu Shimo had already stepped forward to support the tottering Ye Qingwan. His eyes seemed to be fixed on Ye Qingwan.

"Are you hungry? I’ve already cooked the porridge. Why don’t you eat a little before going back to sleep?"

 

Chapter 482: Not Worthy To Have

Ye Qingwan shook her head and smiled weakly at him.

"I’m already awake. Why didn’t you sleep a little longer? You even woke up to make porridge. You even told me to take care of myself. Why can’t you do it yourself?"

Gu Shimo comforted her gently as he helped her to the dining room.

"I’ve always been full of energy, you know. I only need to sleep for four or five hours a day. Usually, I’ll get up to run and exercise. Today, I’m lazy and don’t want to move. I can use this time to cook porridge for you."

He helped her sit down at the dining table and planted a kiss on her cheek. He said softly,

"Wait for me. I’ll go to the kitchen to get the porridge. At this time, it had cooled down a little. It was not that hot and it was just right to eat."

"Alright."

After all, it was Gu Shimo’s good intentions. Even if Ye Qingwan had no appetite, she could not let him down.

Gu Shimo entered the kitchen and saw Gu Ziyang following him. Ye Qingwan asked him,"

"Brother Ziyang, have you had breakfast? Do you want to eat together?"

Gu Ziyang had already eaten before he came. Even if he hadn’t, he wouldn’t be able to sit down and eat with them.

"I’ve already eaten."

Gu Ziyang felt too ashamed to face Ye Qingwan.

Back then, Ye Qingwan was so charming and charming. Every frown and smile of hers was so charming.

Now that things had come to this, she looked like she was about to die. Where was the fleeting shadow of a peerless beauty from back then?

"I’ll go help out in the kitchen."

After saying that, Gu Ziyang immediately fled.

Together with Gu Shimo, they helped to bring the desserts, side dishes, and porridge to the table. Gu Shimo sat down and accompanied Ye Qingwan to eat breakfast.

Gu Ziyang had no reason to stay any longer, so he tactfully said,"

"Brother, in order to prevent you from affecting your appetite, I’ll go back first."

He solemnly promised,

"Brother, Wanwan, I promise you that if this was really my mother’s doing, I’ll definitely bring Zixi back unscathed even if I have to risk my life!"

After saying that, he bowed deeply to the two of them. Without waiting for Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan to respond, he turned around and strode out.

Gu Ziyang walked out of the villa and went to his car. He opened the car door and got in. He did not start the engine immediately. Instead, he took out a box of cigarettes from the drawer, lit it up, put it in his mouth, and took a deep puff.

When he was lighting the fire just now, because his hands were shaking too much, he had to light it a few times before he could barely light it.

He had to rely on Nicholas to calm his uneasy thoughts.

However, she choked on the smoke and coughed non-stop, tears streaming down her face.

Right, he hadn’t learned how to smoke yet.

He held the cigarette between his fingers and stared blankly ahead through the windshield.

Mom, where are you? Did you do it or not? Why are you doing this?

A series of questions surged in his mind, and the smoke just now made him feel a little disgusted. Ye Qingwan’s pale face appeared in front of him again. He shouted," Damn it!" and hit the steering wheel. He accidentally touched the horn and made a loud " beep."

At this moment, he saw Leng Xiaoduan standing not far from the front of the car.

Leng Xiaoduan was also looking at Ye Qingwan.

She hadn’t noticed his car at first, but when he honked, she was shocked. When she turned her gaze over, she saw him sitting in the driver’s seat.

The distance between the two of them was at most three meters.

It was just a windshield, but it felt like thousands of miles away.

It felt like a lifetime had passed.

He did not get out of the car, and she did not take a step forward either.

They just stared at each other in a daze.

Time seemed to freeze at this moment. NovelFire

There were thousands of words in his heart, and he wished he could say them all to her.

All his grievances, humiliation, and anger seemed to have only one person to talk to.

That was her-Leng Xiaoduan.

However, he also knew that he was not qualified.

He did not deserve it.

He only came back to his senses when the cigarette in his hand burned himself.

 

Chapter 483: She Is She, You Are You

Leng Xiaoduan had already walked past him as if nothing had happened and was walking towards the villa’s main entrance.

Gu Ziyang did not get out of the car, nor did he drive away.

He sat in the car, fiddling with the lighter.

He was deep in thought. What method could he use to make Zhao Qinlan appear?

He lit the fire with a bang.

He closed the lighter lid and put out the fire.

With a bang, he lit the fire again.

The words that Leng Xiao said last time suddenly appeared in her mind.

"If it were up to me, I would tie Gu Ziyang up and make a video of him being abused. I don’t believe that Zhao Qinlan, that vicious woman, won’t show up!"

Leng Xiao was always so simple and crude.

However, it seemed that he could consider it.

Since ancient times, it had been natural for the son to repay the father’s debt.

Zhao Qinlan was his mother, and the same logic applied to the son paying the mother’s debt. NovelFire

Gu Ziyang was in the car, carefully considering each plan.

How could he operate it quickly and effectively to ensure its maneuverability?

Would Zhao Qinlan really take the bait?

Wasn’t he putting righteousness before family?

She sat in the car for more than an hour until she saw Leng Xiaoduan coming out of the villa through the rearview mirror.

Only then did he open the car door and get out of the car.

"Little Duan!" He took the initiative to stop her. NovelFire

Leng Xiaoduan stopped a few steps away from him.

"You haven’t left yet?"

Gu Ziyang forced a smile.

"Think about something. I can give you a ride!"

"No need." Leng Xiaoduan was also trying his best to avoid arousing suspicion. "I’ve already called an online taxi."

"You can cancel it if you want."

He quickly stepped forward and grabbed her wrist without any explanation. With a firm attitude, he led her to the front passenger seat and opened the car door. Ignoring her fierce objection, he stuffed her in.

"Gu Ziyang, why are you like this?"

Gu Yang, who had always been gentle and gentle, suddenly became rude and rude. For a moment, Leng Xiaoduan was still unable to adapt.

"I’m like this to begin with. I’m sorry that you’ve seen my true colors."

He pulled on his seatbelt, leaned down, and pressed the seatbelt into the buckle.

With a click, the seatbelt was successfully fastened.

Leng Xiaoduan, on the other hand, was so frightened that he shrank back. His body involuntarily leaned back, and his head leaned against the back of the chair, not daring to move at all.

The side of his face, which had an obvious masculine scent, brushed past the tip of her nose, making her nervous.

After he fastened his seatbelt, he looked at her strangely and pursed his lips slightly, as if he was holding back a smile, but also as if he was helpless.

In the end, he did not say a word. He closed the door, went to the driver’s seat, got in the car, and fastened his seatbelt.

He glanced sideways at her again before starting the engine. He stepped on the accelerator and the car started slowly before driving away.

"When you went to see Wanwan just now, did my brother tell you that my mom is the biggest suspect?"

In the car, Gu Ziyang was the first to break the silence.

Leng Xiaoduan didn’t say anything.

Gu Ziyang laughed at himself.

"You see, like mother, like son. My mother is a bad person, so I can’t be a good person either."

Leng Xiaoduan was still a little angry that he had forced her into the car on his own accord.

After hearing what he said, the trace of resentment that had just arisen disappeared without a trace.

On the contrary, a sense of compassion arose spontaneously.

"You don’t have to be like this. You are you, and she is her."

Instinctively, Leng Xiaoduan comforted him.

"I’m glad to hear that."

He let out a soft breath. It was as if a huge rock that had been pressing down on his heart had finally been moved out of a crack.

"By the way, I heard that you’re planning to change houses, right?"

"Who told you that?"

"Don’t worry about that. Speaking of which, I have a friend who has gone abroad. He has an empty apartment under his name, but he doesn’t want to rent it to others and make a mess."

"That’s why I want to find someone to help look after the house. As long as I help clean the room every day, I’ll use this to pay for the room fee. Shall I bring you to take a look?"

"How can there be such a good thing?"

 

Chapter 484: Taking Her To See The House

Leng Xiaoduan snorted." I don’t believe that there’s really a pie in the sky."

"It’s not like it’s a pie in the sky."

Gu Ziyang explained," He’s also trying to save on the cost of having someone look after the house. You guys are basically taking what you need and not owing each other anything."

"Isn’t it easy to find such a person? Just a casual post on the Internet would cause a lot of people to rush to apply."

"How can the people on the internet be trusted by someone they know?"

He turned the steering wheel and drove away from her house.

"Let me show you the house first, okay?"

Twenty minutes later, the car drove into a newly built building.

This place was about the same distance from the company and Leng Xiaoduan’s current residence, but in the opposite direction.

"Wow, the unit price of this building is very high."

This was originally an old residential area. It was a high-rise residential building that was rebuilt after being demolished five years ago.

When it was first released, it was not considered expensive. It was only around 60,000 yuan per square meter.

But even so, she couldn’t afford it, and she never thought of buying it here.

He didn’t expect that after five years, the price had already risen to 130,000 per square meter, doubling.

She had missed the opportunity and never thought of buying a house here again.

"It’s a normal price."

Gu Ziyang said casually.

"I’ll take you up to the eighteenth floor."

This building had a total of 33 floors, and the middle floor was cheaper.

They entered a building and pressed the elevator button.

This building had two houses. The house that Gu Ziyang mentioned was directly opposite the elevator door.

It was a large flat with three bedrooms and one living room, a total of 180 square meters.

The room was exquisitely decorated, with a wide and bright floor-to-ceiling window and a grand piano in the living room. Each bedroom in the room was larger than the total area of the house she was living in now.

The owner of the house did look very clean and tidy. The floor tiles were so bright that one could see their shadows. NovelFire

Gu Ziyang showed her around. There was a parasol and two chairs on the spacious balcony. It was suitable for drinking coffee and enjoying the scenery outside on a good day.

The room had everything she needed. If she wanted to move in, she could just move in with her bag.

"How is it? Are you satisfied with this place?"

He asked her after looking at the house.

"Something feels weird."

She looked at him suspiciously." By the way, how did you get the key to this place?"

"Oh, my friend left the country in a hurry and hasn’t found a suitable candidate yet, so he gave me the key first and asked me to help him find a reliable person to take care of the house. I thought you were quite suitable, so I brought you here to take a look."

"Forget it, I appreciate your kindness. However, I think this house is too big and it’s quite tiring to clean it."

His heart was anxious, and his words were not so thoughtful.

"What are you worried about? Are you afraid that I will come again to pester you?"

As soon as he said that, he immediately realized that he had acted rashly and immediately explained,

"Although I did say that I’m a bad person, even if I’m a bad person, there should be people or items that I want to protect, right? If you’re worried that I’ll keep pestering you, I can write you a guarantee."

"I don’t mean that."

He took the initiative to label himself as a "bad guy" again.

She was also anxious. Under impulse, she raised her hand and covered his lips.

The two of them were stunned.

Feeling the heat on his lips, she quickly retracted her hand, but he grabbed it.

"Little Duan, I’ve already been abandoned by this world. The way everyone looked at me and avoided me made me feel like a ferocious beast."

He stuffed the key into her palm, bent her fingers, and held the key in her fist.

His palm gently wrapped around her fist.

"I thought that at least you were looking at me objectively. Little Duan, even if I’m a ferocious beast, I’ll only linger around you and show my fangs to everyone else who might hurt you."

 

Chapter 485: Hot Search

In the afternoon, Gu Shimo’s phone vibrated. As Ye Qingwan was in the living room guarding the kidnapper’s phone, he got up and went outside to answer the call.

After a long time, he did not return.

Ye Qingwan panicked and ran out of the door.

However, she saw Gu Shimo smoking outside.

"Brother Shi Mo!"

She rushed forward and took the cigarette from his hand.

Knowing that she did not like the smell of cigarettes, he never smoked in front of her.

Ye Qingwan’s eyes reddened. She put her hands behind his back and pushed him towards her, hugging him tightly.

"Brother Shi Mo, I know that it has been hard on you these past few days. Not only do you have to worry about Zixi, but you also have to take care of me. Don’t be agitated. I will cheer up and fight side by side with you."

Being comforted by the woman he loved, Gu Shimo felt touched and sympathetic.

He reached out his hands and pulled her into his embrace.

"I’m sorry. Did I disappoint you again?"

If he couldn’t even help her quit smoking, what else could he do?

Ye Qingwan leaned on his shoulder and shook her head.

"I know you’re under too much pressure. I’m too disappointing, that’s why I added extra burden to you."

Gu Shimo sighed.

His broad palm caressed her back to soothe her wild thoughts.

"It’s none of your business, Wanwan. Speaking of which, you’ve been locked up at home for the past two days. Let’s take a walk in the neighborhood!"

Knowing that she was worried about the kidnappers, he added,

"We won’t go far. If there was a call, Gu Feng would immediately send the phone over."

Seeing that he was thoughtful and that he had been suppressing himself, he would not have hidden himself to smoke.

"Alright!" He nodded.

The two of them walked towards the lakeside hand in hand.

This villa area had a very beautiful environment. There was a lake, a bridge, a meadow, and a fountain. It was not inferior to an ordinary park.

Along the lakeside, a spacious road was specially built with bluestone. Cherry trees were planted on both sides of the road. Every spring, the cherry blossoms would bloom, making this place especially romantic and beautiful. People in the community would gather here at the same time.

There were no flowers at this time of the year. It was almost winter, and the trees were bare. However, it was quiet and elegant, and it was also very suitable for taking a walk and having a heart to heart.

"Wanwan, I just received a call. Do you know who called?"

"Who is it?"

"It’s Ziyang."

"Hmm? Brother Ziyang?"

Ye Qingwan paused and looked up at him. Was he smoking because of Gu Ziyang?

"Yes." He looked down at her.

"Do you still remember what he said before he left today?"

Ye Qingwan tried hard to recall." He said he would help find Zixi?"

"Yes." Gu Shimo’s expression was solemn as he nodded.

"He prepared a plan to lure the snake out of its hole. I hope I can cooperate with him."

"What plan?"

——

The two of them returned to the villa and sat down on the sofa in the living room.

"Master, Miss Qing Wan, you’re back?"

Gu Feng, who was guarding the phone in the house, immediately stood up.

"Okay, Wanwan and I will guard this place. You can go down and rest first."Gu Shimo said.

Although Gu Shimo had said so, how could Gu Feng really dare to rest?

"Then I’ll go make tea for Master and Miss Qing Wan and prepare some fruits."

"Alright."

After Gu Feng left, Gu Shimo said to Ye Qingwan,

"Do you mind if I bring my laptop here to work?"

"Anyway, waiting is waiting. You should deal with your matters first."Ye Qingwan said considerately.

Gu Shimo patted her hand gently and asked," What about you?"

"Let me see if there are any clues on the official account. You don’t have to worry about me. You can do your own thing."

"Alright. If you’re tired, take a nap."

"I understand." Ye Qingwan forced a smile at him. Correct content is on

As he spoke, he picked up his phone and scrolled through it.

When Gu Shimo took out his notebook, he heard Ye Qingwan call out to him in a panic,"

"Brother Shi Mo! Brother Shi Mo, come and take a look quickly!"

"What is it?" Gu Shimo hurriedly ran over, unable to hide his excitement." Did someone provide clues about Zixi?""

 

Chapter 486: Gu Ziyang’s Plan

"No! It was trending.’Gu Ziyang, the second young master of the Gu Corporation, committed suicide.’ What was going on?"

Ye Qingwan handed the phone to Gu Shimo. Gu Shimo took it and saw that the topic of " Gu Ziyang, the second young master of the Gu Corporation, committed suicide " was on the top trending searches on Weibo.

When he clicked on it, he saw that there were already many people in the square who had reposted the post.

The popular thread not only described in detail what would happen if Gu Ziyang was found to have committed suicide and was sent to the hospital.

There were also pictures and videos of the emergency treatment, and even the hospital and ward number he was in were written in detail.

"This fool! Why did he commit suicide?"

With a murderous look on his face, Gu Shimo immediately took out his phone and called Gu Ziyang.

In order to let Ye Qingwan hear it, he put it on speaker.

However, the phone rang for a long time, but no one answered.

"Brother Shi Mo, stop fighting. Let’s go straight to the hospital to have a look!"

Ye Qingwan was also anxious.

"Good!"

Gu Shimo placed the notebook he had just taken out on the sofa and said to Gu Feng, who had brought tea and fruits,

"Gu Feng, Ziyang committed suicide and was hospitalized. Wanwan and I will go to the hospital to see what’s going on. You should stay at home and inform me immediately if anything happens!"

Gu Feng was also shocked and quickly agreed,"Alright, I understand, Master!"

Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan rushed to the hospital. Gu Ziyang was arranged to stay in a four-person ward.

All four beds were full, but he was the only real patient. The other three were arranged by him.

There was an IV drip on the bedside. At this time, Gu Ziyang had woken up, but because he had just escaped death.

Lying on the hospital bed with a pale face, she looked really delicate and pitiful.

"Ziyang, are you serious?"

Seeing the bandage on Gu Ziyang’s left wrist, Gu Shimo was very angry. He raised his hand and wanted to hit him.

However, seeing his already miserable appearance, how could he bear to do it?

Gu Ziyang had only said that he was putting on an act over the phone.

Unexpectedly, his scene was a little too realistic.

Ye Qingwan frowned and scolded him,"Brother Ziyang, what are you doing?" Why did you do such a stupid thing?"

Gu Ziyang smiled nonchalantly and said,"

"Don’t worry, I know what to do. It’s just a little blood."

Of course, this was a show that he had directed and acted out.

Inspired by Leng Xiao, he decided to use a trick to lure Zhao Qinlan over.

He was the one who found someone to write the thread, and he was the one who paid for the trending searches.

He was afraid that Zhao Qinlan would not check Weibo, so he deliberately let Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan reveal this matter in front of a bugged phone. He had to let Zhao Qinlan know about this.

Of course, they had to put on a show. After finding out that something had happened to Gu Ziyang, Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan would definitely come to the hospital to visit him.

At this moment, Gu Shimo had to arrange for someone to wait at the hospital.

He didn’t know if Zhao Qinlan would definitely appear or when she would appear.

He could only wait. There was no other way.

"Brother Ziyang, it’s already good enough that you have such intentions."

Seeing how attentive he was, even if Ye Qingwan had a grudge against him, she couldn’t.

"However, you are not worth hurting yourself for someone like that." View the correct content at NovelFire)

Gu Ziyang forced a smile and said,"

"Compared to Zixi’s injuries, what am I?"

She then asked Gu Shimo," Brother, have you arranged everything? As long as she appears, your people will immediately capture her!"

At first, Gu Shimo did not agree with Gu Ziyang’s decision.

However, Gu Ziyang’s attitude was firm. He said that he would definitely do what he wanted anyway. If Gu Shimo did not do anything, he would do it himself.

In any case, this world had already collapsed. There were people who killed their wives, children, and mothers...It was no longer news.

If he couldn’t dissuade Zhao Qinlan with words, then he would use his actions to stop her from continuing to do evil!

Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan stayed in the ward for a while. In order to prevent him from expending too much energy, they only spoke a few words before leaving the ward to let Gu Ziyang have a good rest.

 

Chapter 487: Zhao Qinlan Appears

Although he wasn’t sure if Zhao Qinlan was staying nearby, Gu Ziyang had already laid out the foreplay. Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan could only follow him.

The two of them held hands as they waited for the elevator.

The elevator door opened and a few people filed out of the car.

The last person to come out was a woman in a brown coat with long hair and sunglasses.

Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan could not help but tighten their hands.

Looking at her height and body shape, she looked very similar to Zhao Qinlan.

Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan’s hearts were connected. Without even looking at each other, they released each other’s hands at the same time. In the next second, the two of them were about to pounce on each other.

However, at this moment, the woman took off her sunglasses, revealing a face that was completely different from Zhao Qinlan’s.

Zhao Qinlan was a little triangular, but her looks were not that stunning.

This woman was much better looking. Even though her expression was cold, it could not hide the charm she exuded.

Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan looked at each other and saw the disappointment in each other’s eyes.

Gu Shimo probably felt indignant. Even after the woman had continued walking, Gu Shimo still turned around and continued to chase after the woman for a long time.

The woman’s long coat and ankle-length dress perfectly covered her figure. From her back, she looked like a young girl in her twenties.

"What a pity." Ye Qingwan sighed.

However, Gu Shimo still did not give up. He turned on his headset and used the intercom system to speak.

"Be on standby outside the ward. There’s a woman with long hair and a brown coat."

"Roger!"

"Roger!"

The people he had arranged all over the place replied one after another.

After a while, one of them replied,"

"Master, she entered the innermost ward at the end of the corridor."

Gu Shimo stammered and said,

"Continue to be vigilant! Pay close attention to those who enter Room 405, especially women."

"Roger!"

"False alarm!"

After ending the call, Gu Shimo held Ye Qingwan’s hand again and pressed the elevator down button.

"I was too impatient. With Zhao Qinlan’s cautious attitude, she would not appear so rashly. We’ll go back to sleep first, and come back at night!"

"Okay, let’s buy a chicken and bring it back to Brother Ziyang to make some soup!"

"Don’t just think about your son, you should eat more. Look at how skinny you are!"

When the elevator arrived, the two of them entered the elevator while talking. NovelFire

When the elevator went down, the long-haired woman in a brown coat came out of the innermost ward.

When she passed by Gu Ziyang’s ward, she glanced at the patient’s name and the attending doctor on the wall outside the door.

Not long after, a little girl bounced into the ward and went straight to Gu Ziyang’s bed. She smiled sweetly at him and asked him in a soft voice,"

"Are you Gu Ziyang?"

"Yes, I’m Gu Ziyang. Who are you?"

Gu Ziyang looked at her strangely. He was sure that she was someone he had never seen before.

"I’m an angel oh hee hee"

The little girl smiled and said,"Give me your hand. I’ll give you a gift!""

"Hmm? Why did you give me a present? Do you know me?"

"Don’t you know each other now?"

The girl tilted her head and urged him," Hurry up and reach out!"

Gu Ziyang did not know what she was up to. He only thought that she was cute, so he reached out his hand.

The girl gently placed something into his hand.

"I’ve delivered my gift. I’m leaving now. Goodbye, Brother Ziyang!"

The girl jumped out of the ward. Gu Ziyang could not be bothered to look at the little girl. All his attention was on the note in his hand.

His intuition told him that there was something on the note, so he opened it impatiently.

Sure enough, what greeted his eyes was Zhao Qinlan’s familiar handwriting.

"Ziyang, Mommy came."

"I’ve asked your attending doctor. Fortunately, you’re fine.

Your body, hair, and skin are from your parents. How can you casually ruin your own body? Don’t think about looking for me. I’ll naturally appear when the time comes.

I hope you won’t do such a stupid thing again. If you insist on seeing me, come to the hospital cafeteria at six o’clock tonight.

However, don’t tell anyone and don’t bring your phone. Otherwise, I won’t let you see me.

By the way, I saw Gu Shimo just now. Are you wondering why he didn’t notice me?

If you reveal this information to a third person, I won’t let you see me."

Gu Ziyang was shocked.

 

Chapter 488: I Must See You

Zhao Qinlan actually came here?

When did this happen?

Why didn’t he know?

She had already seen Gu Shimo, so why hadn’t Gu Shimo seen her yet?

Where were the other people? Did they not notice her?

"Mr. Gu, what did that little girl give you? Could it be a love letter?"

Another hired fake patient asked.

Gu Ziyang smiled and pretended to be nonchalant.""It’s nothing. Maybe the little girl’s mother saw the trending searches and was curious to see what I looked like."

"These people are really boring." Another sighed.

It was all the fault of the trending searches. The hospital and ward number were clearly marked. People from the same hospital were inevitably curious when they saw it. Some of them were secretly watching from outside. This little girl was acting like a child, so she ran into the ward and asked.

Gu Ziyang temporarily brushed this matter off.

Now that Zhao Qinlan finally showed up, he didn’t want to waste all his efforts.

He had to see her and ask her personally if Zixi was really in her hands.

5:30 PM.

Gu Ziyang settled the bill with the other three fake patients who were hired to stay in the same ward.

Now that the plan had changed, these fake patients were no longer useful.

Gu Ziyang was eager to prove himself. He had fooled Zhao Qinlan once, but the same trick would not work a second or third time.

It was not easy for him to get a reaction. He had to seize this opportunity.

He did not inform Gu Shi Mo. He was really worried that if he angered Zhao Qinlan, she would never show up again. Then, it would be even more difficult for him to see her again.

However, if the people Gu Shimo had arranged for were sharp enough, they would have noticed something fishy about him suddenly dismissing his three fake patients, right?

At 5:45 pm, Gu Ziyang removed the needle from the back of his hand and put on a jacket over his hospital gown. He glanced at the phone on the bedside table and thought about it. In the end, he did not take it. He stuffed the note and the phone under his pillow.

Gu Ziyang took a deep breath and walked out of the ward.

The cafeteria was on the first floor of the podium on the other side. One had to cross a courtyard to reach it.

Gu Ziyang looked ahead. He wanted to reach the canteen as soon as possible so that he could take advantage of the terrain to observe the situation. NovelFire

It was mealtime, and there were many people coming and going. Everyone’s faces were more or less filled with worry.

A man who was laughing while looking down at his phone walked over. He did not even look at the road properly and almost bumped into Gu Ziyang.

Gu Ziyang had no choice but to lean to the side.

When they passed each other, the person still accidentally bumped into his shoulder.

Gu Ziyang subconsciously glanced at him, but the man seemed to be oblivious. He continued to look at his phone and walked away.

This person was really rude!

When Gu Ziyang arrived at the canteen, there were already many patients and their family members inside.

Fortunately, he was tall enough. Even in the crowd, there was nothing that could block his vision.

He roughly scanned the lobby, the people queuing up to buy food, the people sitting down to eat, the people taking take-away, the windows, and the entrances and exits, but he didn’t see Zhao Qinlan.

He raised his wrist and looked at his watch. It was only five minutes away from six. Why hadn’t Zhao Qinlan appeared yet?

He was mixed in with so many people, could Zhao Qinlan accurately find him?

Gu Ziyang felt frustrated and subconsciously reached into his pocket.

She didn’t find her phone, but she found a note.

His heart skipped a beat and he quickly took it out to take a look.

"At the southwest entrance of the hospital, a black Benz with double flashing lights."

Without thinking, Gu Ziyang turned around and rushed out of the cafeteria, running towards the southwest entrance.

The southwest entrance was not far from the cafeteria. It was a convenient passage for pedestrians.

It was open from eight in the morning to six in the evening. Gu Ziyang did not have time to lock the door.

He was sprinting at the speed of a hundred meters. Seeing that the security guard was about to lock the iron door with the key, Gu Ziyang quickly shouted,

"Wait a minute!"

He was lucky that the security guard let him pass.

 

Chapter 489: Interrogation

As soon as Gu Ziyang went out, he heard a click. The sidewalk was no longer open.

When the people Gu Shimo had arranged to guard outside the ward saw Gu Ziyang leave the ward, they had already reported to Gu Shimo and immediately assigned three people to follow Gu Ziyang secretly.

The cafeteria was crowded with people. One of them followed Gu Ziyang, while the other two guarded the two entrances.

When Gu Ziyang ran away, the people guarding the exit immediately followed him secretly.

However, he did not dare to follow too closely. Therefore, when the iron door was locked, he had to report to his other teammates,

"Gu Ziyang went out from the southwest entrance. Did you find anything?"

As soon as Gu Ziyang walked out of the hospital, he saw a car parked by the roadside. Both of its headlights were flashing.

The door of the passenger seat was ajar. He was overjoyed and rushed forward without stopping to catch his breath. He opened the door and sat in the passenger seat.

As soon as he got into the car, before he could close the door, he heard a bang and the car rushed forward.

Gu Ziyang quickly fastened his seatbelt and glanced at the driver. He was wearing a cap and a mask, looking straight ahead. He didn’t even bother to give him a piece from the corner of his eye.

At this moment, Gu Ziyang suddenly realized that something was wrong.

There should have been a rearview mirror in the car, but there was only a mirror holder where the rearview mirror was placed. The mirror on it was gone.

"Ziyang, don’t turn back. Mommy is behind you."

A familiar voice rang out. Gu Ziyang’s heart skipped a beat. His body froze and he did not dare to move.

"Mom, is it really you?"

"Can’t you recognize my voice?"

"Mom!"

Gu Ziyang was both emotional and aggrieved." Where have you been all this time? Do you know how hard it was for me to find you?"

"If you had listened to me back then, how would you have come to this? It was hard for you to find it, but it was also hard for me to hide."

"Mom, is Zixi in your hands?"

Gu Ziyang didn’t even have time to reminisce and asked directly.

——

Gu Shimo received a report saying that Gu Ziyang had been lost.

Gu Shimo was so angry that he scolded Zuo Zhi.

This Zhao Qinlan was indeed cunning, she had considered the timing too thoroughly. Correct content is on NovelFire

The main reason was that Gu Shimo’s men were too scattered.

Previously, they had sent more than half of their men to the capital to look for Zhao Qinlan. Now, the remaining men were mainly watching outside the ward and the inpatient department building, as well as the entrances and exits of the hospital where vehicles could pass through.

There was only one person left outside the southwest exit. Knowing that the place would be locked at six o’clock, the Left Deacon had this person guard the place until six o’clock.

When it was almost six o’clock, someone suddenly asked him for directions. In the time it took to turn around, Gu Ziyang ran out of the southwest exit, got into the car, and disappeared. Correct content is on NovelFire.

"What’s wrong with this Gu Ziyang? Didn’t he ask me to cooperate with him? When did Zhao Qinlan contact him? Why didn’t he reveal any information to me?"

This time, even Gu Shimo, who had always been tolerant of Gu Ziyang, could not take it anymore.

"Let’s go to the hospital first!"

It was not a good idea to sit at home and wait. Gu Shimo put on his coat casually and did not even bother to eat dinner. He held Ye Qingwan’s hand and strode out of the door.

When they arrived at the hospital ward, Gu Ziyang’s phone rang. Gu Shimo lifted the pillow and saw the phone and note under the pillow.

"That’s right, this is Zhao Qinlan’s handwriting."

Gu Shimo quickly finished reading and handed the paper to Ye Qingwan.

When he found out that a little girl had come to the ward, Gu Shimo immediately guessed that Zhao Qinlan had done a little favor and asked the little girl to run errands for him.

Ye Qingwan raised the paper to the light and sniffed it.

"Brother Shi Mo, could it be the woman we met at the elevator entrance today?"

Gu Shimo looked at her in confusion and asked,

"Actually, I was a little suspicious before. Why did you say that?"

"This piece of paper should be carried by Zhao Qinlan. Doesn’t Zhao Qinlan’s family make aromas?

 

Chapter 490: I Saw Him

She asked me to work with her before, and I got a few samples. It felt like this piece of paper was the wrapping paper of some aromas product, which was why the fragrance stayed on this piece of paper.

The woman we met today had the same scent. Although it was very faint, I still smelled it. At that time, I thought it was perfume. Now that I smelled the same scent on this paper, I suddenly remembered."

Gu Shimo picked up the piece of paper again and brought it close to his nose to take a whiff. As expected, he could smell a faint fragrance.

"In that case, the woman who came today was indeed sent by Zhao Qinlan, or was she from her family?"

Ye Qingwan looked excited." Does this mean that she’s hiding Zixi in the Zhao family?" Let’s go directly to the Zhao family and ask them for him!"

"I’ll call Fu Yushen and ask him to issue a search warrant immediately. Bring some people to meet us at the Zhao family’s place!"

"Wait, wait, wait!" Ye Qingwan was a little scared and quickly stopped him." I’m afraid that if I provoke Zhao Qinlan, she might hurt our Zixi. What should we do?""

Gu Shimo hesitated.

Gu Ziyang had already contacted Zhao Qinlan. He had promised to bring Zixi back safely. Should she trust him this once?

Gu Shimo temporarily gave up on the idea of contacting Fu Yushen. He walked out of the hospital with Ye Qingwan and went around to the southwest entrance.

Zuo Zhi had already gone to the surveillance room to check the surveillance cameras. Gu Ziyang ran out of the iron gate and disappeared from the surveillance cameras. Because it was a secluded path, the surveillance camera was only aimed in the direction of the entrance. After moving forward and backward by 30 degrees, it was no longer within the surveillance range.

Now that all the clues were gone, Gu Shimo and Ye Qingwan were caught in a dilemma.

Should she continue to wait, or should she ask Fu Yushen for a search warrant and go to the Zhao family?

Just as she was hesitating, Ye Qing Wan’s phone rang.

She looked at the caller ID in surprise. He Meijuan?

He Meijuan’s compensation to Qingyun Wan had been paid off two months ago.

Ye Qingwan had thought that they would never contact each other again.

However, Ye Qingwan wasn’t used to deleting other people’s contact information, so she still had He Meijuan’s number.

Ye Qingwan was in a terrible mood and didn’t want to pick it up.

However, the bell kept ringing. In the dark and empty street, it seemed a little scary.

"Hey!"

In the end, she picked up the call.

"Miss Ye, I am He Meijuan."

"I know. What’s the matter? I’m a little busy now..."

"I know, I know."

He Meijuan could hear the impatience in her tone and said hurriedly.

"I also heard about Zixi, but I thought that since I couldn’t help anyway, it wouldn’t be convenient to disturb you. I saw the trending searches today. The second young master of the Gu family, Gu Ziyang, should be Gu Shimo’s younger brother, right? I think I saw him just now."

"What did you say?" Ye Qingwan’s spirits were suddenly lifted, and she subconsciously raised her head to look at Gu Shimo.

"Are you sure it’s him? Where did you see it?"

"I’m not sure if it’s him. It looks a little like him." NovelFire

Thanks to today’s trending searches and the grudge between He Meijuan and Qingyun Wan, she was more concerned about Gu Ziyang’s photo in today’s trending searches.

When she saw the trending searches, He Meijuan was still sighing. The Gu family was really troubled. The child’s whereabouts were unknown, and the second young master of the Gu family suddenly committed suicide. What was going on?

"I’m at the Preface to the Orchid Pavilion. An old classmate of mine is moving in, so I’m here to congratulate her. When I came out of his house, I saw a black car passing by. The window of the front passenger seat was half open. A man sitting inside happened to turn his head. At that time, my car lights were on, so I glanced at him. I thought he looked familiar. I thought he looked like Gu Ziyang. However, shouldn’t Gu Ziyang be in the hospital? I was wondering if I saw wrongly."

"Can I ask you for a favor?" Ye Qingwan was excited again, and her voice became urgent.

It was really easy to find.

"What is it? I’ve said it before, as long as I can do it, I won’t hesitate!"
