Gu Yebai didn't leave immediately, he made two phone calls.
After more than ten minutes, a few tall men in casual clothes arrived first.
This is his bodyguard.
He didn't like people following him around, so he usually didn't take them with him, but he didn't mean to be too disobedient to his grandfather Gu Lan. He usually gave the itinerary to his bodyguards. Just now in the alley, he considered that the other party might have a gun, so he deliberately bluffed, but it was not completely fake.
The group of people returned to the alley just now.
The bodyguard brought lighting equipment. Both sides of the corridor are particularly messy, with garbage, discarded furniture cartons, and two or three tattered beddings of homeless people. But it seems that the homeless people haven't returned tonight, and there is no one there. The scraps of paper were picked up by the wind and swirled slightly on the ground. A cold air hit his face, mixed with the smell of decaying food and the faint smell of blood.
Gu Yebai whispered a few words to the leading bodyguard, who immediately took orders to lead a search.
Soon, Tang Juan and Lin Ziyan arrived respectively.
After hearing about the situation just now, I couldn't help but feel a little frightened.
"Obviously, Lao Gu has talked with Chu Ke, and she shouldn't dare to be so arrogant, but the Ah Hu behind her is a ruthless character. Maybe this girl didn't lie. What happened last time was actually Ah Hu's fault? This time? Lao Gu warned Chu Ke and even held a grudge? So why did this happen again?" Lin Ziyan said.
Don Juan frowned slightly, "Maybe it was Chu Ke the first time, but then he gave Chu Ke a warning in vain and provoked Ahu instead."
He paused as he spoke, "I've heard you guys say that this Ahu is also a powerful character. He has managed the affairs of the association very well in the past few years. It's not good for him to languish after being warned by Bai Yi. Let's take this opportunity to establish his authority." It’s also unknown.”
Don Juan said: "But it is also possible that Bai's judgment was wrong. This is what I hope most. What happened tonight was not directed at Lu Youyan, but someone else. She just happened to pass by."
Lin Ziyan nodded, "In fact, there is nothing wrong here at all. It's because the boss paid too much attention to Chu Ke's affairs before, and the news has become quiet."
Gu Yebai frowned and did not speak immediately. The bodyguard came to report at this time and found several sets of footprints around him. There were one or two drops of blood in two places on the bedding of the homeless man. Other than that there is nothing suspicious.
In this case, it is not easy to judge.
"What's this?"
The leading bodyguard is still sharper than average.
Gu Yebai walked over and saw something lying next to the blood. Don Juan said: "It seems to be a business card."
The bodyguard picked up the things and handed them to several people.
On it is the address and phone number of a club. It is a common promotional business card that is distributed everywhere. Passers-by can take it and discard it at any time, and there is nothing wrong with it.
But Tang Juan was always attentive and still looked at it several times. At this moment, Lin Ziyan suddenly said "Hey", "Why does the name of this club look familiar?"
The atmosphere was a bit tense at first, and several bodyguards were holding back their laughter, but Don Juan immediately exposed the situation and said with a click of his tongue: "You are still experienced."
Lin Ziyan rolled his eyes at him, "That's because I'm well-informed. Let's see what twists and turns you think of."
Of course, for men, this kind of questioning can be regarded as a kind of beauty capital. Although Lin Ziyan really didn't do anything, he still raised the corners of his mouth and looked very proud.
"Call over and check it out." Gu Yebai was accustomed to his childishness, so he ignored him and directly ordered.
The leading bodyguard nodded and took everyone aside, where they each sent messages or made phone calls to inquire.
Not long after, he came back.
"President, the actual operators of this club are Xiao Chunlin and Yang Hu." Naturally, the name given was not the name of the apparent operator.
When Tang Juan and Lin Ziyan heard this, their expressions were shaken.
Yang Hu.
Gu Yebai said nothing, took out a cigarette and put one in his mouth.
Little C acted extremely quickly. Just as they entered, the intercom was already ringing.
Sure enough, it was a girl. She has very neat short hair and a pair of particularly beautiful and clever eyes. In his hands were several sets of clothes covered with clothes, which seemed to be expensive.
"Boss, is this your girlfriend? Did you buy it for your sister-in-law?" she said jokingly, looking over with her eyes.
There was a hint of hostility in his eyes. Although it only flashed past, Youyan still saw it because the other party did not hide it.
Zhang Lei would never like an ordinary person like her, let alone now
"The waiter at my cafe. Something happened to her family. She's just staying here for one night and doesn't have a change of clothes, so she's looking for you."
She was about to explain, but Zhang Lei spoke first.
His tone was so calm that he seemed to have no emotion at all.
She could see that Little C quickly became relaxed and happy, although he still looked at her coldly.
"Boss, I've known you for decades, but you haven't been nice to me yet to an employee." Little C handed the clothes to Little C, folded his hands and teased.
"Okay, you can also come to work in my restaurant." Zhang Lei said with a raised lip.
"Boss, just bully others." Little C shouted.
"Boss, when will you return to the company?"
Zhang Lei paused, "Let's talk about it later."
"How can I thank you?" He smiled again.
"Take me for supper." Little C also paused slightly, then raised his head slightly, showing a hint of coquettishness.
"Walk."
Zhang Lei rubbed her head and said to the waiter: "Take good care of the house."
The waiter suddenly became weak and said with a grimace, "You won't take me with you?"
Zhang Leifeng glanced at him, "What do you mean?"
The waiter stuck out his tongue and said, "Okay, okay, I understand, I still have to watch people."
Zhang Lei took Xiao C in his arms, and the two of them went out immediately. Youyan couldn't get a word in, and she didn't even have time to say thank you.
She stood quietly without saying a word, and the waiter Leng Buding stuffed the clothes over and said, "Yours."
"No, I can just wear this suit." Youyan shook her head. She didn't want to owe Zhang Lei any more favors, not to mention that the favor now had the meaning of charity.
"Please, girls have to wash and change. Don't you think it's dirty?" the waiter said loudly, becoming more and more dissatisfied with her ungratefulness.
"Okay then." Seeing this, Youyan finally picked up one of the sets, turned over the tags, and said softly, "I'll give you the money later."
"The boss will give the money to Xiao C. Besides, considering his relationship with Xiao C, this little money is nothing. Your salary is enough to give you a set, and you still have money after all?" The waiter said in a sarcastic tone. This kind of overestimation seemed ridiculous to him.
Youyan didn't answer. What he said was one thing, but what she did was another.
She glanced at the hot pot ingredients on the coffee table and said, "Have you eaten yet? I'll make you something."
The waiter said coldly: "No, I'm full even if I don't eat."
He went into the bedroom and took out the blankets and pillows and threw them on the couch.
"You go back to sleep, I don't have to."
His eyes and actions all pierced her heart. she whispered.
The waiter glanced at her, thinking that Zhang Lei would not care. He left the pillow behind, entered the bedroom, and slammed the door.
Youyan was a little hungry, but she didn't touch the things on the table. She sorted the ingredients and put them back in the refrigerator, turned off the light, and sat on the carpet next to the sofa. The night was as cold as water, but she didn't touch the waiter's food either. Quilt.
She shrank, something flashing in her eyes, but she held on and never let it fall.
Her head was a little dizzy. She didn't know why Gu Yebai appeared here. She seemed to have a vague thought of something, but she couldn't catch it anyway.
He saved her again.
But she preferred that he not save her.
In the past few years, she has been counting the limited days on her fingers.
She has been staying with Chi Pu, not only because of this scene, but also because she understands the loneliness deep in her bones. She hoped that someone would accompany him when he left.
However, her journey must be completed alone.
He was so lonely, and she hoped that there would be someone who could always stay with him and watch over him.
Not because of his appearance, not because he is a genius, not because he is famous.
Just because he is Gu Yebai.
She buried her head in her knees, but she still couldn't stop shaking. She thought she was strong enough.
She didn't know how long it had passed, but she heard some noise. It was Zhang Lei who had returned. There was a faint smell of alcohol in the air. He walked into the house without turning on the light.
Her eyes were wet and wet, and her body was cold, but she always sat upright and did not touch the quilt.
When her head hurt badly, something fell at her feet with a swishing sound. She was slightly startled and opened her eyes. I found that it was already getting slightly brighter.
I glanced at my phone, it was six in the morning.
Underfoot is a piece of white paper.
It must have blown off the printer in the open study room in front.
There was wind coming in and the door between the living room and the balcony seemed not to be closed tightly.
Her eyes fell on the computer table next to the printer. There were pens in the pen holder.
She ran to the bathroom, washed her face with cold water, took some paper, and pulled out a stack of paper.
After more than half an hour, she put the pen back into the pen holder.
In this world, the only thing that cannot be taken away is a person's skills. No matter high or low.
There was never another time when she felt Chi Zheng's love for her more. A mother's love.
She thought for a while and sent another message.
Then, she went to the refrigerator to get the food and turned on the stove.
After putting the last thing on the table, she wiped the sweat from her head and went to the bathroom to wash up briefly. She spent the night here last time and still had her toothbrush and towel.
Finally, I put on the dress that Little C brought yesterday and went to knock on the waiter’s door.
"Come on, come on!" What appeared in front of her was the angry face of the waiter, but when their eyes met, he was obviously stunned and stared at her.
"Breakfast is ready. Let's go back to the store after you eat something. The boss is drunk and won't get up early." She said and explained: "I didn't want to call you at first, but in my current situation, I can't go out by myself." You know if it’s safe or not, and if something goes wrong, it’s a waste of your time.”
The waiter saw that she was neither humble nor arrogant, but she didn't have an attack. He looked at her again and went to wash up without saying a word.
While the waiter was having breakfast, she left a note for Zhang Lei. After the waiter finished eating, he packed up the used dishes and put them in the kitchen for washing.
The waiter saw her spinning top and stretched out her hand to wipe away the water droplets that splashed on her hair in front of the sink, and suddenly felt a little depressed.
"Why don't you eat what you made yourself?" After a moment of hesitation, he spoke.
"I'm not hungry. There is a staff meal when I go back, I like it very much." Youyan replied softly.
Two days passed like this. During these two days, Youyan went back with the two of them after get off work. During these two days, she and Zhang Lei had almost no words. During this period, Lin Ziyan called her and asked her for the delivery number that day.
Chapter 14 Jingzhou
Afternoon, 120 Building, 90th floor. The man was dressed in black Armani. He stood in front of the large and bright floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands behind his back. His deep eyes flickered slightly to the building across the street.
He made a phone call.
"How did things go?"
"The old man has been notified."
"good."
"Also, Amu's people reported that those homeless people never came back. What should we do next? Expand the search area?"
Amu is Gu Yebai's bodyguard captain. He asked him to send people nearby to check the whereabouts of the homeless man. Gu Yebai paused after hearing this and said, "No need."
"Why?" Lin Ziyan was a little surprised.
"They probably won't come back again." Gu Yebai said lightly.
"What did she say?"
He didn't say who she was, but Lin Ziyan immediately understood, "The express delivery has been blocked."
"Um."
"What do you think about this?"
It was rare for Lin Ziyan to be serious.
"Something is not simple..."
The phone on the table suddenly rang.
It's an insider.
"I'll talk later." He hung up and picked up the phone on the table.
"President..." Linda's voice.
"Okay, I get it."
After hanging up the phone again, Gu Yebai turned on the computer. On the screen, there was an old man with an old but restrained aura. Behind the old man, a large dragon pattern mural surrounded him, and he was imposing.
"I heard Lin Ziyan say, are you looking for someone from me?" The old man spoke slowly, his eyes dimming slightly.
"yes."
"At the beginning, you thought you were noble and said you would not do such shameful things. Yes, you have not damaged my reputation in the past few years. But in the past, you refused my kindness. Why do you think I will hand people over to you today? ?" After taking a sip of tea, Gu Lan smiled without raising his eyelids.
"Then we won't be friends." Gu Yebai also smiled lightly.
"Tonight, I will go to Jinyi. If someone follows me, I will go, but if I go alone, I will go alone," he said.
Gu Lan's smile froze slightly, and soon he started laughing loudly again.
"What a Gu Yebai! Do you think that without you I wouldn't be able to find someone to inherit the Art Consulting Club?"
"Of course. I'm just an insignificant Gu Yebai. The Gu family has many children and grandchildren. If I die, the old man will just find someone in the family to take over the Art Consulting Club."
Hearing this, Gu Lan smiled again, with a ruthless look in his eyes.
There was no hint of timidity in Gu Yebai's eyes. He folded his hands on the table and looked at her calmly and generously.
Gu Lan spoke slowly, "You are like a wolf, untameable, but like me when I was young."
"You can take as many people as you want. These people will be yours to send on missions from now on." He tapped his finger on the table with a loud bang.
Gu Yebai nodded, "That's it, thank you."
Gu Lan frowned and said coldly: "I heard a rumor that someone is back. You must remember that the only wife I recognize is Zhou Huaian. She is a good-for-nothing woman. You can do whatever you want, but you must not enter." Gu family door."
"Don't say I didn't remind you, that kind of woman will destroy your perfection. Whatever I can give you, I can take back!"
The screen suddenly went black and the video was cut off.
Leaning leisurely on the black leather chair, a lazy smile flashed at the corner of the man's mouth.
Is it easy to get back what you have given? Grandpa, when the wind and dust fade away, it will be... Liu Bei's Jingzhou.
Late at night.
Huai'an took a shower, wearing only a thin hollow silk pajamas, her bare long legs were white and green, leaving only a small lamp next to the sofa. She quietly leaned on the sofa, waiting for Gu Yebai to come back.
She has the key to his house, but what she wants is the key to his heart.
After an unknown amount of time, there was a slight sound at the door.
She fell asleep and was awakened again. She went to open the door barefoot.
At the door, Gu Yebai stood tall and tall.
However, his handsome face looked a little different tonight under the starlight.
His hair was slightly messy on his forehead, his shirt sleeves were rolled up to his elbows, and his black coat was lazily rolled up on his arms. A pair of pupils, as bright as stars, extremely cold.
"coming?"
Huai'an shook his head, put his arms around his waist, and rested his face on his chest. She suddenly felt wet on her face. She felt slightly surprised and turned on the light on the wall.
The light flowed out, and a bloodstain snaked across the man's shirt, a shocking red color.
Huai'an was taken aback and asked repeatedly: "How could this happen? Who did it? Is it the people from the Gu family or someone from the mall...?"
He patted her shoulder and said, "Don't worry, it's okay."
"What's going on? Tell me, in the first year or two when you took over the position of president of Art Consulting Club, there were still a few people who wanted to harm you, but then they all taught you to get rid of them one by one... This time..." Hug Holding the opponent's arm, Huai'an frowned anxiously.
Gu Yebai chuckled softly, "Huai'an, Huai'an, shouldn't Zhou Huaian be calm and composed, not surprised by any changes?"
"I just met a few thieves. If I'm in a good mood, I'll give them some, but I don't really like robbing them."
"Then you're going to fight with them?" She punched him hard and hugged him tightly again.
"How could Zhou Huaian still be Zhou Huaian when something related to you happened?" She whispered in his ear.
"Thank you." The man's steady voice came from above his head.
Huaian felt a pain in his heart and whispered: "Why do you need to say thank you? You clearly know that this is not what I need."
"You have suffered a lot and suffered a lot in the past few years. A thank you is still missing," Gu Yebai said.
Huai'an stood on tiptoe and whispered in his ear: "How do you say that? Even if you raise a case and raise eyebrows, it will be hard to reconcile. To me, this is nothing, and what I want to get from you is, Nothing is enough…”
She grabbed his shoulders and kissed him on the mouth.
Turning his head slightly, Gu Yebai avoided it.
For two years, he said, he didn't like kissing. Huai'an looked at her blankly.
Gu Yebai glanced at her, his eyes narrowed, his hands went around her waist, and he picked her up.
A blush crept onto his face, and Huai'an put his arms around the man's waist.
Second floor.
Pushing open the door to the guest room, Gu Yebai gently placed her on the bed and turned on the bedside lamp.
Huai'an reached out to hold his hand. Under the light, she was as beautiful as jade and as beautiful as peach blossoms.
Gu Yebai patted her shoulder, "Go to sleep. You just came back from your business trip not long ago, and you have to wait for another day today. You should be tired, so have a good sleep."
