Qin Tang didn't care, and motioned for the stewardess to go to Chen Xiao's side first.

He behaved so generously, but Chen Xiao was stupid, and in the end, the coffee was thrown away by him without even moving.

Qin Tang had already arranged it here, Gu Shi'an was in a bit of a trance all the way, and after getting off the plane, he followed Qin Tang to the car that came to pick them up.

Chen Xiao came out of the airport and the two happened to get into the car, there was no expression on his face, he just stood still and didn't move until the assistant next to him reminded him that the car had come, and he walked over.

He still couldn't hold back, and before he got into the car, he said to the assistant next to him: "Check where they are." ”

The assistant quickly replied yes.

Chen Xiao didn't speak again, and closed his eyes and pretended to sleep when he got into the car. The figure of Gu Shi'an and Qin Tang when they got into the car together was still in his mind. He sat still, and after a long time, he looked sideways out the window, lit a cigarette, and smoked.

The appointed time was half past one, and Gu Shi'an and Qin Tang had been waiting in the agreed hotel since they got off the plane. Gu Shi'an didn't eat anything in the morning, and when it was time to eat lunch at noon. She didn't have much appetite either, and only ate very little.

He was punctual, and he came at half past one punctuality. Qin Tang stood up and said hello, and after a few words of greeting, his eyes fell on Gu Shi'an's body, and he said with a sigh: "It's an adult in a flash." You don't resemble your father, but more like your mother. ”

Speaking of his parents, Gu Shi'an's throat was a little tight. In the end, he still squeezed out a smile, said a few polite words, and invited the other person to sit down.

There is something about the death of Gu Shi'an's father, and all outsiders know is that he died in a car accident. As for the statement of suicide, it was tacitly acquiesced by the Gu family.

Since Qin Tang asked him out, he naturally knew a little bit about it. Although it had been a long time ago, because it was the last time, he remembered it very clearly. told Gu Shi'an very clearly that the last time he and her father saw each other, he did not have any inclination to commit suicide.

The Gu family is already going downhill, and the time they met, Gu Shi'an's father had a project in his hands to discuss investment with him.

At that time, he was very confident in the project in hand, and he wanted to use this project to carry forward the Gu family, which was already in decline. How can you commit suicide.

No one knew the exact progress of the project he was working on at that time, and the only thing he knew was that after his death, the project was not mentioned again.

After sending the man away, Gu Shi'an was in a daze in the room. I don't even know when Qin Tang came out of the room.

By the time she came to her senses, it was already dark outside. She looked at the blurred light outside for a moment before exiting the room.

She didn't pay attention to Qin Tang when he left. I don't know where he went. I don't even know who to ask.

She stood in the hallway for a moment, took out her cell phone and made a call. The call did not go through, and the message was temporarily unreachable.

Gu Shi'an's chest was a little tight, and he sent Qin Tang a text message that she went out for a walk and came back in a while, and left the hotel.

It was a completely unfamiliar city outside, and she didn't even know where she was going. Just walk on your own senses.

The hotel is not remote, and the shops and malls on both sides are lit up as daytime. Gu Shi'an walked aimlessly along the street, and she didn't know how long she walked before she sat down in front of the bus stop on the side of the road.

Passing cars whizzed, and it wasn't until her phone rang that she came to her senses. She originally thought that the call was from Qin Tang, but it wasn't, but it was from Chang Yin.

She didn't know that she was here, she looked at her phone for a while, and then picked it up.

As soon as she fed her, Chang Yan on the other end of the phone asked her where she was. Gu Shi'an didn't tell her that he was in R City, and replied that he was still outside.

Chang Yan didn't have anything to do when she called, but just asked her about finding a job. Let her look slowly, and if she is okay, go to the store and sit down.

Gu Shi'an knew that she was worried about her, so he responded. I asked how the business was going in the store again, and then I hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an had nowhere to go, so he stood for a while before returning to the hotel.

Qin Tang probably hasn't come back yet, hasn't called her, and hasn't replied to text messages. She took the elevator upstairs, got out of the elevator on the floor, and before she reached the door of the room, she saw Chen Xiao standing in the corridor and talking on the phone.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused slightly, Chen Xiao was not surprised at all when he saw her, and waited for her to approach, then asked lightly: "Where did you go?" ”

Gu Shi'an didn't answer his words, and walked straight in the direction of the room. After walking a few steps and turning around, I saw Chen Xiao following behind.

She didn't have the heart to deal with him, she stopped and asked, "Is there something wrong?" ”

Chen Xiao didn't answer his words, looked around, and asked, "The surnamed Qin brought you over, where did he go by himself?" ”

Although he had only been here for a long time, he knew that Qin Tang had not come back since he went out in the afternoon.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to answer his question, ignored him, and continued to move forward.

originally thought that Chen Xiao would not follow anymore, but when Gu Shi'an opened the door, he actually stood by the door again.

Gu Shi'an looked back at him.

Chen Xiao didn't flinch at all, and asked, "I heard that the person was found?" ”

His tone was not at all inquiring, but static.

She hadn't seen the man for long, and she didn't know where he got the news.

Gu Shi'an did not speak.

Chen Xiao only took her as a default, and asked, "Where is he now?" ”

There was no expression on his face.

Gu Shi'an avoided his gaze and said, "It doesn't matter to you anywhere." ”

She didn't care about Chen Xiao, opened the door and walked into the room. Who knew that Chen Xiao actually followed in, and asked again: "Where are the people?" ”

He was very stubborn.

Gu Shi'an was silent, and after a while, he said, "Don't bother you, Chang Yan is already investigating." ”

Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore.

Since he had asked these questions, he should have known that nothing could come out of the man's mouth. After a moment of silence, he asked again, "How is she going to check?" ”

Although Gu Shi'an is an insider, in fact, she is almost like an outsider. She didn't know almost anything.

She didn't speak.

Chen Xiao didn't speak, lit a cigarette and smoked. The room was very quiet for a while.

Waiting for a cigarette to finish, Chen Xiao raised his wrist to look at the time and asked, "Have you eaten?" ”

His tone softened.

Gu Shi'an had no appetite and was silent for a while. He replied, "I'm not hungry." ”

As if he hadn't heard her say that he wasn't hungry, Chen Xiao stood up and said, "Let's go, take you out to eat." ”

Gu Shi'an stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyebrows, and said, "I'm not hungry." Please leave too, I'm going to rest. ”

"It's only nine o'clock." Chen Xiao said. After a slight pause, he said lightly: "Don't worry, if I want to do something, I will already do it now." ”

He stood still and didn't move again. It was as if Gu Shi'an would stay here if he didn't go out.

Gu Shi'an still stood up in the end and followed him downstairs.

Gu Shi'an didn't know that it was the first time he came here, and Chen Xiao was obviously familiar with this side. On the basement floor of the hotel, there is a tavern.

It is said to be a tavern, but it is also a restaurant. Those who come here can order a few side dishes and a pot of wine.

I don't know when the peak season is in this tavern, and when the two of them entered, there were only two tables in the corner.

Chen Xiao was familiar with this, and asked Gu Shi'an what he wanted to eat, so he asked the boss to serve the food.

There weren't many people, and the boss was sitting slowly in the kitchen. I heard a shout and belched, but there was no response. After waiting for about ten minutes, the steaming braised pork rice was served.

His side is special, Gu Shi'an didn't hear Chen Xiao order wine, he actually served a pot of wine.

Chen Xiao probably saw Gu Shi'an's doubts, and explained: "The boss has a lot of experience with wine, and he knows what kind of food should be paired with what kind of wine. ”

He didn't say much after speaking, took the cup brought by the boss and poured a glass of wine for Gu Shi'an. The smell of wine was strong, and he continued, "You can drink a little." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and ate the braised pork rice. She was in a depressed mood, and after a while she picked up the glass and drank the wine.

The wine is not strong, and the mouth is soft and long. After drinking it, my lips and teeth were fragrant, and I didn't know what kind of wine it was.

Chen Xiao didn't order food for himself, he also asked for a glass of wine when she was eating, so he sat aside and drank it slowly.

The tavern was very quiet, and the voices of conversation were low, and almost no one made a loud noise.

The wine was appetizing, Gu Shi'an didn't eat all day, and with that wine, he actually finished eating a bowl of braised pork rice.

The boss is very good at figuring out people's hearts. probably saw that the two of them would not leave immediately, and served a plate of side dishes made by himself and a pot of wine. and told Gu Shi'an that this wine should be a little stronger.

Gu Shi'an thanked him and continued to drink.

Chen Xiao didn't stop her, waiting for her to drink so much, and then asked, "What are you and Qin Tang doing here?" ”

He asked lightly, as if he had just asked casually.

His people found out that the two of them had come to see someone at noon today, but they couldn't find out who the other person was, and they didn't know why they were meeting that person.

Gu Shi'an didn't know if he didn't hear his words or didn't want to answer, so he didn't speak.

Chen Xiao didn't ask any more, didn't drink again, but lit a cigarette and smoked it. Just looked at Gu Shi'an.

She didn't drink well, and her face was flushed by now. I don't know why, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered many scenes when he met her before socializing.

He met her for a while, and she had been following Peng Xue all the time. At that time, she was still a rookie, and the wine she toasted others was real, and she was too honest to talk about.

Later, although it was still with Peng Xue. She was already in good shape, with a smile on her face all the time. When encountering unruly guests, they are just accompanied by smiling faces.

He didn't feel anything before, and he wouldn't even stop his eyes on her for a moment. I won't go to relieve her.

Now that I think about it, my heart hurts terribly. Chen Xiao sat with a cigarette in his hand for a while, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Obviously, Gu Shi'an was sitting opposite him, I don't know why, he didn't even have the courage to look at her at this moment.

I don't know why, at this moment, many images that had been blurred before reappeared in my mind. It's alive, like it was yesterday.

He was slightly in a trance. After a long time, he extinguished the cigarette butt in his hand.

At this time, Gu Shi'an had already drunk the pot of wine. Chen Xiao reached out and took the wine jug in her hand, stood up, and said, "It's not early, let's go back." ”

It's quiet, and the time passed before you knew it. It was only nine o'clock when I came, and it was already eleven o'clock, so it was time to go back.

Gu Shi'an, who had drunk wine, was quite well-behaved, and when he heard him say that he was going back, he didn't say a word and stood up. She shook when she stood up, and Chen Xiao wanted to reach out to help her, but she avoided her.

She seemed to be a little confused about the way out, and a pair of misty eyes looked at Chen Xiao.

Those eyes were as clear as they had been many years ago. Chen Xiao was slightly distracted for a moment, picked up his coat and walked out.

Gu Shi'an didn't let him help, he didn't walk fast. After walking a few steps, I had to stop and wait for her.

Gu Shi'an was very well-behaved now, and followed behind him. It's not that far from the tavern to the elevator. Because of the stop-and-go, the two walked for about five minutes to arrive.

Gu Shi'an's face was red, and when he pressed the elevator, Chen Xiaocai, who had been silent, asked, "Do you want to drink some water?" ”

He said, looking around.

Gu Shi'an shook his head silently, saying no.

Her appearance like this means that she is still awake, and Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore.

His people have always paid attention to Gu Shi'an, but not Qin Tang. Gu Shi'an's phone didn't ring so late, which proves that he has not come back yet. He still couldn't hold back in the end, and asked, "Where did the surnamed Qin go?" ”

Gu Shi'an has always been unreasonable with him. He didn't expect her to answer. Who knew that she raised a pair of misty eyes to look at him at this time, and replied, "I don't know." ”

She was out of state at that time, and she didn't even know if Qin Tang said hello to her when he left. She still had some consciousness in the end, and when she heard Chen Xiao ask, she took out her mobile phone and went to call Qin Tang.

Chen Xiao picked up a stone and hit himself on the foot, and stopped making a sound.

Qin Tang's phone is still unreachable, and it is still unreachable. I don't know what the hell it was doing.

After Gu Shi'an finished calling, he put his mobile phone in his pocket, and then looked up at the number rising in the elevator. When the elevator door opened, she walked out by herself without Chen Xiao's reminder this time.

Chen Xiao was naturally not at ease when she went back like this, and followed her to her room.

Gu Shi'an probably felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he opened the door and went to the bathroom. He didn't even care if Chen Xiao followed her into the room.

Although she didn't drink much, she still vomited. Chen Xiao stepped forward to open the door of the bathroom, only to know that the door was locked by her from the inside.

She hadn't been in the bathroom for long, and opened the door in less than five minutes. Without looking at Chen Xiao, he walked to the sofa and sat down, and nested in like a cat.

Chen Xiao poured her a glass of warm water and handed it to her, her eyes opened for a moment, took it and drank it, and then closed her eyes again.

She didn't make a fuss at all, Chen Xiao originally wanted to ask her to wash, but in the end she didn't call, and took a thin blanket to cover her. Waiting for her to make an even breathing sound, he gently carried her to the bed.

After drinking, she slept soundly, and sweat broke out on the tip of her nose. Chen Xiao stood on the side of the bed and watched, and after a while, he wrung a hot towel, wiped her forehead and face, and wiped her hands.

He was clumsy in doing this, and when he held Gu Shi'an's hand in his hand, he found that her hand was extremely small, and he could wrap it in one hand with two palms.

When he wiped his hands clean, he realized that she had already removed the wedding ring from her hand. There is no sign of wearing a ring on the finger anymore.

Chen Xiao didn't move for a while. After a while, he wrung out the towel and put it away, then stood at the window and smoked.

When they got married, he didn't think about it at all. Not even the ring was chosen by himself. If it weren't for the fact that she often wore wedding rings when they got married, he couldn't even remember what their wedding rings looked like.

Chen Xiao turned his head, looked at the smooth fingers without any ornaments on the outside of the quilt, and took another puff of cigarette.

Before he finished one of his cigarettes, Gu Shi'an's mobile phone rang on the sofa. Afraid of waking her up, he stepped forward in three steps and two steps, turned off the mobile phone and picked it up.

The call was from Qin Tang, he didn't answer it, he didn't hang up, and turned off the phone directly. By the way, I turned off the lights in the room.

The room quickly fell into darkness, and footsteps stopped outside. I don't know if it's Qin Tang's, Chen Xiao didn't care, just sat on the sofa.

It took a few minutes for the footsteps outside to fade away, and he opened his eyes, walked to the head of the bed, and stood still, looking at the man on the bed through the faint light that came in through the window.

She was sleeping soundly now, and her breathing was soft. It's just that the brows are slightly furrowed, and I don't know if it's a dream or what.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand and paused in mid-air, and after a long pause, he gently smoothed her brow.

He didn't stay in the room all the time, and at about two o'clock in the middle of the night, he put a glass of water on her bedside, and then closed the door lightly and went out.

The hallway was darkly lit and quiet. Chen Xiao's room was next door, and he stood in the corridor for a while before entering the room. Then he took out his mobile phone to call Assistant Sun and asked him to book him a ticket to return to Lincheng at the earliest tomorrow morning.

At this time, it was already the middle of the night, and Assistant Sun secretly complained bitterly, but he didn't dare at all.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next morning, it was already past eight o'clock, and he had just finished washing up when there was a knock on the door. She hurriedly went to open the door, and it was Qin Tang standing outside the door, saying that the ticket had been booked for noon, and asked her to go to breakfast first.

Gu Shi'an had already packed up, closed the door and followed him to the elevator. As she left, she looked at the rooms on both sides, intentionally or unintentionally. The doors are all shut.

Chen Xiao's room was obviously on the same floor, and there were so many 'coincidences' when she came, she originally thought that there would be coincidences when she went back. But no, until she and Qin Tang left the hotel, they didn't see Chen Xiao.

Not only did I not see Chen Xiao in R City, but I didn't even see him back in Lincheng. Chen Xiao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

R City's entourage, although it has been confirmed that her father definitely did not commit suicide. But there is still no evidence that it was not an accident.

The only thing that can be checked is the involvement of the project that year. You might be able to find something out of it.

But this project was many years ago, and it was only in the works. I don't even know who was involved in the first place. It is undoubtedly difficult to check.

Qin Tang still told her not to worry about anything, he would investigate. But he's just an outsider, and it's not so easy to investigate.

To find out what happened to her father, in fact, the best way is to enter the Gu family. Only when you go inside will you know how deep the water is.

This was the first time that Gu Shi'an had the idea of entering the Gu family, and this idea became out of control like a wild grass growing wildly.

But if she wants to enter the Gu clan, it is obviously not an easy task. She didn't even have to think about it, she knew that she would be opposed by everyone.

She was not in the Gu family, and everyone was worried that the old lady would give her the shares. If she offered to go in, I'm afraid she would be even more regarded as a thorn in the side.

But no matter how difficult it was, she had to get in.

Gu Shi'an took a breath, and was just about to think of an excuse to enter the Gu family. Her phone rang.

The call was from Chang Yin, and she had just fed it, and Chang Yan on the other end of the phone said: "They said that someone seems to be investigating that person's affairs recently." ”

Gu Shi'an didn't react to what she said for a while, and when she reacted, she realized that the person Chang Yan said was referring to the person who kidnapped her.

She was slightly stunned for a moment. Her reaction was fast, and she immediately remembered what Chen Xiao had asked her in the hotel that day.

She hesitated slightly, and said, "Could it be Chen Xiao?" Last time he asked me if I had found someone. ”

Chang Yan was silent on the other end of the phone, after a while. He said, "I see." ”

The people around the man were carefully selected, and the matter was kept secret all along. If that person knows that someone has revealed the news, I'm afraid that he will have to go through another round of bloodbath.

Now that the people are in their hands, she knows that as long as she keeps paying attention, the news will be revealed sooner or later. It's just that she didn't expect that the first person to know would be Chen Xiao. And, it will be known so quickly. And, act in sync with them.
