Chapter 111: Handsome, wanna grab a meal together
“...My younger brother just sent me a message saying that Brother Hu and the others have run away.”
Han Mo's face instantly turned several shades worse. “Run away?”
Qi Yuan nodded. “I don't think you're stupid enough to believe that they ran away on their own.”
In a police station in the distance, Qi Jin was so angry that he was jumping up and down in his office. “I'm done! I'm really done! With their skills, how could they let the people run away? They can't even handle such a small thing properly...”
The car quickly stopped in front of the hospital. Qi Yuan opened the door and got out. “President Han, you'll protect her, right?”
Han Mo glanced at him. “Of course.”
“Okay.”
He turned around and walked into the hospital to start his long night shift.
Han Mo sat in the car, silently looking in the direction of the city.
Why did Chen Jiarong want to hurt Huanhuan?
Just for Gu Chacha?
It couldn't be. He didn't believe that Chen Jiarong was such a affectionate person.
Suddenly, a possibility flashed through his mind. He took out his phone and called Gu Jingchen. “Are you at the company now?”
Gu Jingchen replied, “Yes. What's up?”
Han Mo said, “I have something to talk to you about. Wait for me.”
“Okay.”
Half an hour later, in the top - floor office, Gu Jingchen frowned. “You shouldn't have taken such a big risk before.”
No matter how much he wanted to take revenge on his father, he shouldn't have gotten involved with such a dangerous person.
Han Mo explained, “I have nothing to do with him. I just introduced Han Xuan to him through an intermediary.”
From beginning to end, it was all about Han Xuan's own choice.
If Han Xuan hadn't been tempted, he wouldn't have gotten into trouble.
Gu Jingchen looked at him disapprovingly. “I know you've had a hard time, but forget it...”
Without experiencing the pain, one shouldn't judge right or wrong.
He wasn't Han Mo, so he naturally couldn't understand Han Mo's pain and hatred.
Brother Bao had already come to Jiangcheng, and the thing had already happened. There was no need to say more.
He looked up at Han Mo. “Are you sure what the doctor said is true?”
This was no small matter and couldn't tolerate the slightest mistake.
Han Mo nodded. “If it were false, he couldn't have known about Brother Bao.”
Qi Yuan had described it very specifically and in detail, and it couldn't have been made up casually.
Moreover, on the way here, he had asked someone to make some inquiries, and indeed, the police station had reported an application for cross - border law enforcement in the past few days.
Gu Jingchen frowned even more tightly. “Wait for me to make a call.”
After saying that, he stood up, walked to the window, and dialed a number.
A few minutes later, he walked back with a cold expression on his face. “The situation is a bit tricky. Brother Bao has a powerful protector in Jiangcheng. It won't be easy to arrest him.”
It wasn't difficult to catch the person, but there was someone behind him.
If they arrested the person in the front, the person might just swagger out later.
Neither his family nor the Han family had strong enough connections in this regard.
Unless...
A glint flashed in his eyes. “I've thought of someone who might be able to help.”
Han Mo quickly asked, “Who?”
Gu Jingchen curled his lips into a faint smile. “Liang Zheng.”
If Liang Zheng was willing to step in, Brother Bao wouldn't stand a chance once he was arrested.
Han Mo hesitated. “Do you want Liang Ye to ask his brother for help? Will it work?”
After all, this matter had nothing to do with the Liang family. Would Liang Zheng be willing to get involved for Liang Ye's sake?
The smile on Gu Jingchen's lips deepened. “He will.”
Not only would he, but he would also get actively involved.
At the Liang family, Liang Zheng was struggling with how to find an excuse to visit the Gu family.
The relationship between their family and the Gu family was just so - so, and it seemed a bit inappropriate to visit rashly.
Just as he was annoyed, his phone suddenly vibrated. He looked down and saw it was Gu Jingchen calling.
Why would he call him?
Before he could sort out his thoughts, his finger had already pressed the answer button. “Hello?”
On the other end of the phone, Gu Jingchen's voice was full of worry. “I'm really sorry to call you so late. It's just that my sister and Meili have run into some trouble recently. I don't have Liang Ye's phone number. Could you give it to me?”
Liang Zheng frowned instantly. “What kind of trouble have they run into?”
Gu Jingchen sighed. “It's nothing. Just ask Xiao Ye to go and accompany Huanhuan. I can handle things here for now.”
After saying that, he hung up the phone. Han Mo gave him a disdainful look. “You're so sly.”
Gu Jingchen smiled calmly. “It's better to have someone offer to help than to beg for it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, his phone started vibrating wildly, and the screen clearly showed the name Liang Zheng.
A glint of amusement flashed in Gu Jingchen's eyes. One, two, three, four, five.
He answered the call. Liang Zheng urgently asked, “Tell me clearly. What kind of trouble have they run into?”
Gu Jingchen sighed. “Do you know about Han Xuan's matter?”
Liang Zheng nodded. “Yes.”
“His superior from the north has come to Jiangcheng recently. That person has his eyes on Meili and Huanhuan. A few days ago, he sent people to Savar to kidnap them. If they hadn't been without passports, they might have been kidnapped to God knows where by now...”
He told Liang Zheng in detail what he knew. “...We're just worried that it'll be easy to arrest the person, but difficult to convict him.”
Liang Zheng readily agreed without hesitation. “Don't act rashly. Wait for me to sort out the relationships first.”
Gu Jingchen smiled and nodded. “Okay. I'll hang up then.”
Suddenly, Liang Zheng realized something. “Gu Jingchen, are you...”
Before he could question further, the voice on the other end of the phone suddenly became lower. Gu Jingchen seemed to be talking to someone else. “Tell Huanhuan later to keep an eye on Meili. Online dating is unreliable. Don't let her play around with that...”
“What did you say?”
“Beep, beep, beep...”
...
A message came in on his phone, still from Gu Jingchen. “Thank you for your trouble. After this is all over, I'll take Huanhuan and Meili out to have a meal with you. Let them thank you properly.”
Have a meal together?
Liang Zheng made one call after another. It was not until the moon was high in the sky and the battery of his phone showed a red light that he finally put down the phone.
He sat quietly on the sofa, his eyes wandering aimlessly around the living room.
Then he let out a soft laugh. Good old Gu Jingchen, dangling a carrot in front of him and making him work all night.
He took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, and then put it out. Then he stood up, went down to the basement, and drove out.
The SUV sped through the suburbs, heading towards the destination in his heart.
The car stopped at an intersection. In the distance was the gate of the Gu family. He sat in the car, quietly looking at that gate.
He was the eldest son in the family and Liang Ye's elder brother. The whole family's burden was on his shoulders.
He knew that the most suitable path for him was to be with a girl from a family of similar status, and live a life of mutual respect.
No, perhaps they would develop some feelings for each other.
Perhaps they would...
“Hey, handsome! Why are you sitting here looking so down? Tell me what's bothering you. Sister can lend you her shoulder to cry on.”
A familiar voice suddenly interrupted his train of thought. The bright red hair had been changed to a gorgeous peach - pink color, but the flirtatious smile remained the same.
Qi Meili was lying on the car window, looking at the man in front of her with admiration all over her face. “Such a chiseled face. So handsome! Handsome guy, do you have a girlfriend? If not, sister will treat you to a meal.”
A smile instantly filled Liang Zheng's eyes. He nodded with a smile. “Sure.”
