Chapter 1697
He paused, his tone turned a corner and sneered, “Gao, Shu, Ji, you have to remind your own people to keep their eyes open and don’t give my third uncle any trips, otherwise, don’t blame me for not being merciful.”
Shen Changlin is a clean official, thinks he is doing the right thing and is not afraid of organizational investigations, and does not allow Shen Yu to use the Shen family’s connections and get involved in these matters, but because of this, most of the month has passed and we don’t even know his current situation.
It is good to follow the rules, but if you follow the rules too much, it is easy to get yourself trapped, and you have to worry about your family, but of course this is nothing, the most disgusting thing is to watch people like Gao Ye flaunt their power.
Shen Yu is a man who grew up outside the rules, and these words ring true, and are undoubtedly a heavy warning.
Gao Ye froze for a moment, then got up, patted the jacket on his body as if nothing had happened, and said indifferently, “Anyway, I’ve delivered the kindness, feel free to contact me if anything happens, I still have a meeting, I’ll leave first, no need to send.”
After saying that, he lifted his feet and left the living room, walking out steadily.
As I watched Takano’s figure disappear into the living room, the suspicions in my heart began to waver.
He had lowered himself and come here frequently to show his goodwill, simply because he saw the power of the Mo and Shen families in me, and if he wanted to have the support of both in the future, there was no reason to lay hands on the child.
But apart from him, who else could it be?
Suddenly, the phone on the table vibrated.
Turning to look down, it showed a number without a note.
At a time like this, even if it was a phone bomb I wouldn’t say no. Without any hesitation, I picked up the phone and pressed the answer button to my ear.
“Hello, who is it?”
A familiar voice came through the receiver, “Xiao Shu.”
It was Gu Han!
I subconsciously squeezed the phone tighter, a hint of nervousness in my voice, “Gu Han, where are you?”
“Let’s not talk about that, I saw those people at the airport with a newborn child, was it you ……”
Nerves all over my body instantly tensed, I clasped the phone in my hand with a death grip and sucked in a sharp breath.
D*mn it! I can’t believe I forgot about GW Group!
It was because of the child that Fu had temporarily cancelled the partnership with GW in the first place, and Sean was so upset about it that he wandered around the capital for a long time before leaving, so if they had arranged all this, then it all made sense!
“Gu Han, where are you? Have you found Gao Jian and Xiao Doumi? Where did those people take the children? Do you remember?”
“No.” Gu Han paused, his voice hoarse, “I’ve been searching for a year without a clue, and this time someone deliberately put out the word and provided a few occasions where the GW group frequented, and I just happened to stumble upon the child.”
I pursed my lips and made a swallowing motion, “Is the baby okay?”
“There were so many of them that I didn’t dare get too close, but on the face of it, it shouldn’t be bad for the baby, and you don’t have to worry too much ……”
I interrupted him, “How can you not be worried? Gu Han, the baby is premature and not well nourished, if you don’t take good care of it, you will have a hard time for the rest of your life, don’t say anything, tell me where you are, I will come over to you.”
“You can’t come, it’s too dangerous here, I’m looking for Gao Jian and the others anyway, just leave it to me, trust me, I’ll …… beep beep beep–”
Gu Han’s voice came to an abrupt halt.
I froze for a second before reacting and lowering my voice to call out into the microphone, “Gu Han? Gu Han, are you still there?”
The only response I got was a beeping sound and a jumble of currents.
I brought the phone to my attention and saw that the screen had reverted to the lock screen and the time on it was 4pm.
It was 4pm in the capital, and it was only the early hours of the morning in M. It was hard to think that Gu Han was safe when he was calling at this time and then suddenly disconnected.
If there was a reason for me to stay in the country then, I had to go now.
Chapter 1698
“What? Did Gu Han find the baby?” Shen Yu snapped.
I was silent, didn’t have time to respond to his words, and expressionlessly pressed the callback button.
“Sorry, the number you have dialed is switched off, please dial again later.”
It was repeated several more times, still the same result.
Tossing the phone aside, I sat down on the sofa like a deflated ball, staring up at the ceiling, lost in deep thought.
Gu Han was calling at this time, perhaps the only time he had access to the phone, and after just a few words, the voice suddenly died again, perhaps because someone had barged in and hung up forcibly.
But there is no doubt about one thing: Gu Han is still alive.
Although it is still unclear what the purpose of those people luring Gu Han to M is, it is good that they have not let Gu Han get hurt so far.
But why is Gu Han so opposed to my going to country M?
While he revealed the news of the child to me, he desperately wanted to take it on alone, seemingly splitting into two personalities?
So far, only Gu Han knows the whereabouts of the child, but he insists on risking his life knowing that the other side is overwhelming.
Perhaps there was something more worrying to Gu Han than the child, and this was the reason why Gu Han stopped me from going to M.
I was thinking that maybe this line of thinking was the right one.
If I was right, then there was only one reason why Gu Han wouldn’t let me go to M. That was because those people were after me at all.
Perhaps, that bodyguard would know something.
Thinking of this, I squeezed my hand tightly and rushed towards the bas*ment again, Shen Yu was not sure of the situation, but followed anyway.
The inside had been cleaned, but the air was still thick with the smell of blood, the bodyguard’s upper body was wrapped in bandages, lying dying on a plank bed, and most of Shen Yu’s men had retreated, leaving only one on guard.
“Get out.” I commanded.
The henchman skipped past me and glanced behind me at Shen Yu, and only after receiving an affirmative did he lift his feet and walk out.
“Brother, you go out too, I have something to ask him alone.” I said again.
There was no movement behind me, so I assumed it was Shen Yu who was uneasy and spoke to reassure, “This guy only has one breath left, what can he do to me?”
After a few moments of silence, Shen Yu was finally convinced by me and walked out, closing the door behind him.
The room was completely calm, and I walked up and looked at him from above, my voice indifferent, “Want to get out of here?”
The one who had been drowsy suddenly opened his eyes and the next moment struggled to sit up from the wooden plank bed.
As expected, even after being knifed and tortured for so long, those images of weakness just now were just pretend.
“We can do a deal.” I was incomparably calm and said calmly, “but I have a condition, tell me, how about the child?”
“Miss Shen, we don’t want our lives, but we’re not so bad as to treat a small child less than a month old.” The bodyguard’s face swept away a little bit of a smile, making his whole face look a little grim.
With such a ruthless man, his words naturally couldn’t be believed in full, but with Gu Han’s circumstantial evidence, I was barely relieved.
I had to trust this guy and believe that they wouldn’t hurt my son.
Even so, the baby was still too young, how good could it be to be displaced and tossed around with a bunch of strangers?
Just thinking about it made my heart feel like it was being pulled, and it hurt like hell.
