Ye Shushu had a strict upbringing; she had to rush back ho before ten o’clock.
After finishing the spicy food, even Tao Xiaotao left.
Xia Yinian found a place to change out of her evening gown, walking alone on the street, ready to look for a taxi.
However, this alley was rather deep, a bit far from the main road.
As she was about to reach the end of the alley, two figures suddenly darted out, blocking the exit tightly.
Xia Yinian was stunned, her first instinct was to turn around and head back.
On the other side of the road where the big roads were, there were bustling districts, spaces where small stalls like the spicy food stand weren’t allowed.
She had chosen this small street, just now, for the sake of eating spicy food, and had to pass through this alley.
But, on the other end of the alley on the small street, there were quite a number of people; she would be fine if she could escape there.
Yet unexpectedly, just as she turned around, she found the other end of the alley was also blocked off.
In front of her, a total of five sturdy n.
"Stinking girl, this ti, let’s see where you can run!"
The five n surged forward, and Xia Yinian didn’t even get a chance to resist before she was taken away!
Indeed, she was really kidnapped!
She thought about crying for help, but a burly man quickly covered her mouth with sothing.
Soon after, Xia Yinian lost consciousness and fainted.
...
"We will keep an eye out for the person you’re looking for, but given only a blurry photo, the chances of finding her are not high."
Chi He stood behind Gu Beicheng, staring at the man sitting opposite Gu Beicheng.
"We are more familiar with Ye City than you, and it’s indeed more convenient for us to search for people here. However, I can’t guarantee we will find her."
Gu Beicheng didn’t speak, casually sipping tea.
The man opposite him was also just drinking tea in silence, until his assistant spoke in a deep voice, "Please do your utmost to help."
"We will," Chi He nodded and then changed the subject, "So, about the business we discussed earlier, does your young master also have an answer?"
The man sitting opposite Gu Beicheng then slowly said, "I have no objections to the cooperation, but..."
Gu Beicheng didn’t press further, his face in the human skin mask was devoid of any expression.
In fact, all four people present were wearing masks, unwilling to show their true faces.
Even when they spoke, their voices were deliberately lowered, so hoarse that one couldn’t discern their natural voices.
"It’s said that in Ye City, aside from Old Master Gu, one of the three most powerful people is Seventh Master Gu."
The young master’s gaze never left Gu Beicheng’s eyes, not missing any minute expression.
"If we could get Seventh Master Gu to cooperate with us on our matter, perhaps we could achieve twice the result with half the effort."
"As far as I know, Seventh Master Gu is only a businessman, and while he has wealth and power, he might not be suitable for our endeavor."
Gu Beicheng still had no expression, his voice just as cold and raspy as the other’s, untouched by any trace of his original self.
The young master just gave a faint smile, noncommittally: "Both you and I know that we have another identity behind us. As for whether Seventh Master Gu has another identity, who can be sure?"
"If you insist, I can try to make contact with him. However, Seventh Master Gu is very shrewd, I do not guarantee success."
"That’s all I need to hear from you." The young master raised his cup as a gesture, signifying the end of the day’s dialogue.
Gu Beicheng finished the tea in his cup in one gulp, stood up with his tall figure, ready to leave.
However, the young master suddenly laughed and said, "Your stature is quite similar to Seventh Master Gu’s."
