"Maybe, at least I don’t rember knowing anyone, and using the letter thod to notify clearly doesn’t want others to see." Ghost hesitated a little while holding the address in his hand.
"Let it be, as long as you don’t go, if those hooligans co again, I’ll definitely call the police to grab them." Gu Xin, who has always been opposed to underground forces, had a sowhat threatening tone in her words. Ghost anticipated this; in fact, he was indifferent to Lang’s promises of the "Vice Leader position," "glory and wealth," or "power and beauties." What many people dream about in society, he views as worthless. It’s no wonder that after Ghost rejected Lang’s offers of so many benefits, the little thugs around were shocked. They’ve been in the ga for years without gaining so much, yet Ghost dismisses it lightly. Maybe before losing his mory, Ghost had already been exposed to luxury and honor too long, so even after amnesia, he instinctively was uninterested in these things.
"Alright, anyway, I don’t plan to go." Ghost casually put the note into his pocket and busied himself with his work.
"By the way, I’m going back to East Sea University at noon, accompany , then we can go for a stroll or sothing."
"Hey, big miss, you’re carefree now, but I have work at hand." Ghost felt sowhat amused and helpless; Gu Xin was only twenty-three, a university graduate at most, still quite playful.
"If the dean finds out I’m taking leave to play with you, it wouldn’t be good. Besides, my dical bills are still covered by the hospital." Ghost politely declined Gu Xin; what he wanted most now was to repay his dical bill, the dean is a good person, he doesn’t want to let his kindness down.
"Cut, alright then." Gu Xin bit her lip, sowhat displeased, and left the room.
"Just a child." Ghost sighed helplessly, tidied up his security uniform, grabbed the baton, and began his patrol in the hospital.
Hospital, employee canteen.
"Gu Li, have you seen Xin’er at all?" Just as Ghost was eating lunch alone, an urgent voice ca from behind him.
"Dr. Gu." Ghost turned curiously, and the person turned out to be Gu Jian, with his sweat-drenched appearance, as if he had encountered sothing urgent.
"Gu Xin told she’s going back to East Sea University at noon."
"Yeah, she told too. But... I just called her, and it’s consistently unreachable. No reply to ssages either, what should we do now?" Gu Jian said anxiously, unlike his usual calm deanor.
"What, can’t be reached, what’s up?" Ghost heard and also panicked; although Gu Xin might throw small tantrums occasionally, she would never worry those around her. As for not hearing it, that’s impossible, it’s been so long, she should have seen the ssages.
"I’m really worried now, her classmates haven’t seen her on the university side either, I’m afraid sothing might have happened."
"Don’t worry, Dr. Gu, you call the police first, I’ll go find people imdiately." Ghost said without a second thought, leaving his al unfinished and rushing out directly; as for taking leave, he could get a colleague to do it on his behalf.
"Alright, thank you very much then."
Ghost rushed out of the hospital straight away; since Gu Xin ntioned going to East Sea University, that’s where he should look. Rembering she should be in the dical departnt, he could find her classmates there, hopefully able to inquire sothing.
East Sea University.
Ghost asked around and found the dical departnt building, with many students doing experints inside. Ghost found the tutor’s office.
"Sir, who are you here for?" one of the teachers asked curiously.
"Sorry to disturb, I’m Gu Xin’s friend, I can’t get through to her now, so I ca to ask about her whereabouts."
"What, can’t reach Gu?"
"Yes, that’s why I’m asking if she ca to school. She told she’d co at noon, but I can’t contact her now."
"Don’t worry, I’ll head to the security room and request surveillance checks." That tutor, upon hearing, hastily went out to check surveillance footage.
Ring ring.
Suddenly, Ghost’s phone rang, upon opening, it was an unfamiliar number.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Gu Li, can’t find your little girlfriend?" a hoarse voice ca from the other end, unrecognizable to others, but Ghost imdiately recognized it; the caller was Lang.
"You’re Lang, how do you know, did you abduct Gu Xin?" Gu Li’s heart tightened, but he quickly understood that Lang was blackmailing him to "attend personally." A surge of murderous intent arose within him; this gang indeed wouldn’t let things go.
"Haha, no need to worry, Mr. Gu Li, I haven’t done anything to Miss Gu Xin, just hope you can personally co, the address was delivered by my n this morning."
"That envelope was indeed from you." Ghost coldly stated, "You dare touch a hair on Gu Xin, I’ll wipe out your Black Sand Gang."
"Rest assured, I won’t harm Lady Gu, instead, I’ve prepared a feast, awaiting the two of you."
"Oh, also, Mr. Gu Li, please don’t call the police, I don’t want things to get complicated."
"Fine, just you wait." Ghost said and hung up the phone. Since he discovered Gu Xin’s whereabouts, he had to go rescue her, but he could only go alone. Although Lang claid to "treat" both well, if he did call the police, Lang might really take action. For safety’s sake, Ghost decided to go solo, although he was confident with his skills to rescue her.
East Sea, basent of World Tower.
"It’s Mr. Gu Li, the Gang Leader has been waiting inside for a long ti." Arriving here, Ghost saw two Black Sand Gang mbers greeting at the door.
"Lead the way ahead." Ghost said flatly, the two opened the iron door, unexpectedly finding the Black Sand Gang’s base at the city center of East Sea. However, this basent usually doesn’t have people visiting, probably contracted long-term by Lang.
"Haha, Mr. Gu Li finally arrived, I’ve been eagerly awaiting." Lang quickly ca up, trying to shake hands with Ghost, but he was devoid of interest, directly passing by Lang to open the door, Gu Xin sitting on a chair, while the table was filled with gourt food, but Gu Xin had no mood to taste and kept snorting.
"Gu Xin, are you alright?" Gu Li imdiately approached upon seeing her.
"Great, I knew you would co to rescue ."
