“Okay, I’ll call Mrs. Lin now.”
When Shen Qinghe heard that someone could save Gu Shiyan, she quickly put down her chopsticks and immediately got up to go back to the bedroom to get her phone.
She knew that this kind of news was often half true and half false.
In the past few months, they had indeed encountered many such scammers.
However, for Gu Shiyan’s sake, she couldn’t afford to spend time verifying whether it was true or not.
Even if there was only a one in ten thousand chance, she had to give it a try.
“Mom, there’s no rush. You eat first.” Gu Shiyan pulled her back.
“No need, I’ve already eaten. You guys can eat slowly.”Shen Qinghe left in a hurry.
Missing a meal was nothing. As long as she could save her son, she was even willing to die.
After dinner, Gu Xingyu went to complain to her grandma.
Gu Shiyan sent Lu Miao upstairs. ” Have you slept well these few days? ”
“Yes.” Lu Miao nodded.
Gu Shiyan turned to look at her. ” Is there anything I can help you with? ”
Lu Miao glanced at his pale lips. ” You don’t have much time. ”
Gu Shiyan curled his lips and revealed a lazy smile on his face. He said nonchalantly, “Isn’t there still one more day? It’s enough to help you.”
There was no fear or anxiety in his words.
This person was always like this as if he didn’t care about life and death at all.
Lu Miao did not say anything else and said directly, ” Help me find the textbooks for the first and second year of high school. ”
The electronic textbook really hurt her eyes.
Gu Shiyan could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
She was 16 this year, and she was only in her first year of high school. Why would she need her second-year textbooks?
“I heard from Mom that you want to go to Zhenhai High School?”
“Yes.” Lu Miao replied.
Gu Shiyan did not ask further and nodded. ” Okay, I’ll get someone to arrange it. ”
It was just a school. Even if she wanted to go to the moon, he could also build her a spaceship.
“No need. I’ve already arranged it myself. Just help me find the textbooks.”
Lu Miao walked into the room and closed the door.
She did not have the slightest intention of chatting with him.
Arrange it yourself?
This girl seemed to be getting more and more mysterious.
Looking at the closed door in front of him, Gu Shiyan could not help but chuckle. How heartless.
He returned to his bedroom.
He took out his phone and dialed a number.
The phone only rang once and it was picked up immediately.
“Oh my god, Boss, you’re still alive. Sob sob, that’s great.With all the funeral arrangments you’ve been making these past two days, I thought you were going to heaven today.”
Gu Shiyan’s head hurt from the noise. He raised his hand and pressed his throbbing forehead.”Help me investigate what happened to Lu Miao in the countryside.”
On the other end of the phone, Tang Mochen finally stopped crying and asked, “What happened to the little girl?Didn’t I already check it once before?”
Gu Shiyan walked to the desk and saw the refreshing pine and cypress painting on the wall. He could not help but raise his eyebrows slightly.
Instead of answering him, he said directly, ” I want all the textbooks for the first and second years of high school. Send them to the Gu residence tomorrow morning. ”
Tang Mochen was shocked, “Textbook for the first and second year?Boss, did you develop feelings for Lu Miao after the engagement that you’re planning to accompany and study with her in high school again?”
“Have you been too idle recently?”, Gu Shiyan asked.
Tang Mochen immediately denied it. “No, I didn’t. Don’t talk nonsense.”
“Starting tomorrow, you will lead a team to the Sahara for a month of physical training. “, Gu Shiyan said.
“Oh my god, boss, I was wrong…”
Gu Shiyan hung up the phone coldly.
Thinking of the girl in the next room, the corners of his lips curled up slightly.
From the first time he saw her, he found her very interesting.
It seemed like she was not the same person described in the investigation data.
There was no trace of the stubbornness and unruliness rumored about her. She looked obedient, sensible, and polite, but deep down, she carried a natural coldness and detachment.
No matter what happened, she never showed any emotions on her face.
She had hidden mysterious skills.
He really wanted to know what kind of experience could turn a 16-year-old girl into what she was now.
Downstairs in the bedroom.
Grandmother Qi looked at Shen Qinghe. ” What did the Lin family say? ”
Shen Qinghe shook her head with a worried expression. ” Mrs. Lin said that her son found that master on the Internet by accident. They can’t contact him now. ”
Grandma Qi thought for a moment. ” Do you have the name? ”
Shen Qinghe sighed. ” No. ”
In their line of work, they all have a lineage and sect. If there was a name, they could send someone to look for them, and she wouldn’t be so worried.
Grandma Qi put down the teacup in her hand. ” If there’s no news, forget about it. A master found online with no name or anything, even if they do find her, it’s not certain she has any real skills. The Lin family’s situation was probably just a coincidence.
I just received news that Master Jiu Hua is coming out of seclusion in the next few days. Keep an eye on things and let me know immediately if you have any news. I’ll personally go and invite them.”
In the past few months, she had used her connections to find countless people.
Back then, the engagement was also a helpless move.
She could not pin all her hopes on this.
Master Jiuhua was the most respected master in the world of metaphysics. He had been in seclusion.
This was their last hope!
The next morning.
Gu Shijian got out of bed and walked downstairs. When he passed by Lu Miao’s room and heard the quietness inside, he knew that she was probably still sleeping.
He subconsciously lightened her footsteps and walked straight downstairs.
Shen Qinghe had just woken up. When she saw Gu Shiyan coming downstairs, she quickly called him to the dining room for breakfast.
” Auntie Lan has prepared some plain porridge and some side dishes. Have some before you leave. ”
Gu Shiyan raised his hand and tidied up his sleeves. ” There’s no need. The flight is at 7:30. I’ll just eat something on the plane later. ”
Shen Qinghe knew that these words were just Gu Shiyan’s comforting words.
He couldn’t even eat the food that his family had carefully prepared, let alone the horrible airplane meals.
She said helplessly, ” Don’t always be busy with those things. Your health is the most important. ”
“I know.” Gu Shiyan replied.
Shen Qinghe naturally knew what he was thinking.
For years, the Gu family had been at the pinnacle, with limitless glory. However, this also meant that there were more people around them who envied and coveted their success.
Now that his future was uncertain, he didn’t know when he might lose his life.
There were so many eyes watching the Gu family, waiting for the day when he fell so they could all pounce and divide up the spoils.
He had to settle everything in advance to ensure that even if he was not around, the Gu family would be able to live a hundred years without worry.
Although she felt heartbroken, Gu Shijian had always been decisive, and she couldn’t do anything about it.
She said unhappily, ” What do you know?Everyone has their own blessings. If you want to make Mom feel at ease, focus more on yourself. Also, Miao Miao just arrived, why don’t you spend more time with her at home?”
If only Gu Shiyan waited for Lu Miao to wake up before leaving. Perhaps she could let him eat more breakfast.
Watching Gu Shijian’s back as he left, Shen Qinghe couldn’t help but feel tears welling up in her eyes.
For them, every time Gu Shijian left the house, it could potentially be a final goodbye.
But as a mother, she was powerless in this situation.
If she could, she would willingly trade her life and everything the Gu family had to ensure Gu Shijian’s safety.
..
After Gu Shiyan went out and got into the car, he picked up the computer at the side and started to process the email.
“To the airport.”
“Yes, Mr Gu.” In the driver’s seat, Baili responded and drove the car out steadily.
When the car drove past an old street, Baili suddenly saw a familiar figure not far away.
