Gu Tingyun didn't sleep all night. He knew that Huo Xiao was in a very dangerous situation, and he wanted to help as much as possible, whether it was moral or other reasons.
But after all, the distant water could not save the nearby fire, but there was no more news all night.
Early in the morning, there was the sound of a car outside the door. Gu Tingyun rubbed his temples and stood up. He almost never smoked, and the occasional cigar was limited.
But I smoked two packs last night in the middle of the night, and I felt a little depressed.
This depression comes from the guilt towards Huo Xiao.
Maybe he really miscalculated about the second uncle. He even thought that the second uncle might not really take action against Huo Xiao. As long as this matter didn't have a complete showdown, it might still develop in a good direction.
But it was obvious that he was wrong.
He overestimated Mr. Huo.
The Huo family was as cold-blooded as ever, and his mother was absolutely right.
"Dong dong." There was a knock on the door.
Gu Tingyun said: "Come in."
The person who came over was Boss Gu. Boss Gu looked at Gu Tingyun's messy hair and asked, "Are you okay?"
Gu Tingyun shook his head. Of course he was fine. He was not the one who was really in trouble.
"Father, come and sit down."
Huo Xiao is the adopted son of the Huo family, and similarly, he is also the adopted son of Boss Gu.
But compared to Boss Gu's kindness, what the Huo family did was quite shameful.
He asked: "Why are you here?"
Gu Laodaodao: "Why do you think I came here? Now that Huo Xiao's matter has been spread, how could I not know about it? I know very well that your child is very loyal. I'm afraid I feel uncomfortable."
Although Boss Gu didn't have much contact with Huo Xiao, when this incident happened, his first reaction was that it was not Huo Xiao's fault.
Gu Tingyun stood up and massaged Boss Gu's shoulders. He said, "I'm still arranging for someone to find Huo Xiao, but I'm afraid it won't be easy to find him. He himself will avoid everyone."
Boss Gu turned around and said, "It's already this time, give me a massage! Are you a little nervous?"
Speaking of this, Boss Gu looked at him and said seriously: "I told you when you were young, only do things based on right and wrong, not on favors. Haven't you made it this far after so many years? Now I know you It's difficult, but just follow your heart. You kid has a hard life. I hope you can relax."
Gu Tingyun smiled, nodded and said, "Don't worry, foster father, I know."
He actually knew what to do in his heart, but sometimes he still felt uncomfortable knowing that he knew better.
"For so many years, I have tried to tell myself that maybe my second uncle is not a bad person, and maybe he really liked my mother too much. But... it seems that he always gives me a few loud slaps to let me know how naive I am. .”
As soon as these words came out, Mr. Gu said: "You are not naive. It is natural for you to want to think of your relatives as good people."
He patted Gu Tingyun on the shoulder and said, "Let nature take its course."
Gu Tingyun nodded.
Tang Jiao didn't see Gu Tingyun when she got up. Ever since the two had a close relationship, Tang Jiao always liked to cuddle up with Gu Tingyun.
She was not a good sleeper and was afraid of the cold, so she almost wrapped her arms and legs around Gu Tingyun.
This habit is easy to develop.
Tang Jiao knew that he got up in the middle of the night and did not come back, but she was in a daze and did not get up, but even so she woke up several times.
Maybe I woke up a few times during the night, feeling a little groggy and not very energetic during the day.
Their little baby really didn't bother her at all. She definitely didn't suffer from morning sickness or anything like that, but her lethargy was very obvious.
If he doesn't sleep well, he looks worried.
Siye helped Tang Jiao wash up. Seeing her expression, she said, "Miss, would you like to sleep a little longer?"
Tang Jiao shook her head. She refused, she said softly: "No, where is Master Qi?"
Siye said: "In the study room, Mr. Gu came over this morning."
Tang Jiao sighed and asked, "But what happened?"
If nothing happened, it would be impossible for Gu Tingyun to stay away all night.
Boss Gu is even less likely to come this morning.
Yotsuba shook his head, saying that he didn't know anything.
Tang Jiao didn't say anything. She said, "Then I'll go over and take a look."
She got up and came to the door of the study. Just as she was about to knock on the door, she saw the door open.
Gu Tingyun said: "Why are you here?"
Tang Jiao could feel the smoke lingering in the study and the smell of smoke all over Gu Tingyun.
Gu Tingyun saw Tang Jiao wrinkle her nose subtly, and said, "You go downstairs to have breakfast, and I'll change my clothes and come back."
Tang Jiao snorted and joked, "You stink so much."
Gu Tingyun smiled, "Even if it's really bad, our little Ayo won't dislike me, right?"
Tang Jiao shook her head and said decisively: "I still dislike it."
Gu Tingyun laughed, regardless of the smell of cigarette smoke, which smelled delicious on her face.
Tang Jiao pushed him: "You are so annoying."
Gu Tingyun gently rubbed Tang Jiao's little face and suddenly held her in his arms.
Tang Jiao sighed, wondering what happened to him.
She asked softly: "What's wrong?"
Gu Tingyun was a little abnormal today. Tang Jiao knew Gu Tingyun very well and knew that something big must be going on before he acted like this.
However, Gu Tingyun was only wrong for a moment. He quickly said: "It's nothing. Something happened in Peiping. You go to eat first and I'll tell you later."
After coaxing Tang Jiao downstairs, Gu Tingyun took a shower and changed clothes. When he came downstairs, he saw his adoptive father talking to Tang Jiao.
Gu Tingyun felt refreshed at this time.
He didn't hide it from Tang Jiao and said directly: "Something happened to Huo Xiao!"
Although Peking and Shanghai were far apart, it was impossible for Tang Jiao not to know about the big fuss this time. It would be even more inappropriate for her to accidentally discover it by herself. But it would be better to let him speak, which would at least give Tang Jiao some confidence.
As expected, Tang Jiao was stunned as soon as these words came out. She quickly asked: "Did Huo Xiao know about it?"
On second thought, it wasn't right. If Huo Xiao knew about it, then it shouldn't be Huo Xiao who got into trouble.
She said: "What on earth is going on?"
Although her impression of the Huo family was average, Tang Jiao really didn't expect that Mr. Huo would make the first move.
Gu Tingyun briefly explained the current situation. He said: "I don't know the specific situation yet. Although Brother Six made a simple call, it was inconvenient for him to be at Huo's house. Moreover, he was injured again. I'm afraid it's hard to come out and give us news alone. I'm trying my best to find Huo Xiao now and help him leave Peiping."
That's all he can do now.
Although Huo Xiao's opposite was precisely his relative, Gu Tingyun knew that if Huo Xiao died like this, he would not be able to live with it.
Huo Xiao paid too much for the Huo family.
"No one knows what will happen in the future. All I can do now is to help him as much as possible for the time being."
Tang Jiao fell silent for a while, then nodded.
She whispered: "I hope he is okay."
She gently hugged Gu Tingyun's waist and leaned against him: "Brother Qi, Brother Huo is not a bad person, and he doesn't actually deserve to die."
Gu Tingyun didn't know this. He hummed softly, stroked Tang Jiao's long hair, and whispered: "Don't worry, you don't have to worry about this. I will do my best."
At this time, Huo Xiao and Siwu were hiding in an abandoned warehouse, and neither of them was in good condition.
Huo Xiao pinched the peace talisman in his hand. The blood had dyed the golden peace talisman red. Huo Xiao said: "I don't know if the Buddha will really protect me."
As soon as these words came out, Siwu immediately said: "Of course I will."
He was obviously a tall and strong man, but now he seemed weak and didn't have much energy.
"Wait a minute when Lao Wang arrives. We have a car, so it will be easier to move."
Both of them were injured, and it was very difficult to avoid being caught in Peking.
Although Huo Ziqi showed them the way, Huo Xiao and the others were a little far away from the warehouse where Huo Ziqi designated the RV. Their injuries were not minor. It was too difficult to deal with the wounds. As such, they contacted them directly. His own men.
"Actually, they may not be 100% convinced. If it doesn't work, leave immediately."
At this time, Huo Xiao no longer dared to completely trust others, so he warned them cautiously.
He nodded four or five times and said yes.
The sound of soft footsteps came, and Huo Xiao immediately cheered up. He stuffed the amulet into his chest pocket, hid behind the door of the warehouse, and stood aside with four or five people.
"Is this here?" A low voice, almost inaudible if you don't listen carefully.
There was no other sound coming, and Huo Xiao immediately felt bad.
They only informed one person, but it was obvious that it was not the same person.
He signaled to Four and Five that they could not fight forcefully, and immediately rushed to the back door.
This location is well connected in all directions and is perfect for escape, which is why they chose it.
Sure enough, they just left through the back door.
I heard the front door being banged open.
Then someone shouted "Chase".
Huo Xiao felt that all the betrayals in his life had happened in these two days.
He originally felt that he and all his brothers had life-and-death friendships. But reality told him that it was not the case at all.
He and Siwu moved quickly, but in the end someone quickly caught up with them.
Mucang kept hitting, and Huo Xiao fought back.
When the two of them ran deep into the alley, they happened to see Mr. Huo's car parked here.
Mr. Huo was waiting here. Seeing them running over in a hurry, he almost didn't hesitate at all. He aimed directly at Huo Xiao's heart and pulled the trigger without hesitation...
"boom!"
