Gu Tingchen walked up to the doctor and asked, "Doctor, how is my grandfather's health?" ”

The doctor turned his head and looked at him, "Your grandfather may have eaten something unclean, and he should be fine now." ”

Gu Tingchen nodded: "Okay, thank you, doctor." ”

The doctor added, "However, I think it is better to stay in the hospital for a few days." ”

He looked solemn: "The doctor thinks it is." ”

After that, Gu Tingchen learned about his grandfather's physical condition with the doctor. After the doctor left, Gu Tingchen sat down on the chair next to the bed: "Grandpa, have you eaten anything that you haven't eaten in the past few days?" ”

Grandpa, who was lying on the hospital bed, was a little pale at the moment: "I thought about it for a while, and it seems that I didn't eat any special food." It's all used to eating. And recently, I haven't been out to eat. ”

Gu Tingchen frowned slightly: "That's weird." Why did you suddenly fall ill? ”

Just now, the doctor told him that his grandfather was admitted to the hospital after he suddenly fainted at home.

Grandpa smiled slightly, and said to Gu Tingchen: "Alas, people are old, and their bodies are useless, and some minor illnesses and pains are always inevitable." ”

Gu Tingchen sighed in his heart. Now my father's whereabouts are unknown, and my grandfather suddenly fell ill again. No matter how strong his psychological quality is, he can't help but be worried.

"What about Afan? I haven't seen him in a long time. Is he still tired of being with Yang Yue's woman every day? When Grandpa mentioned Gu Fan, his expression was extremely displeased.

Gu Tingchen didn't want him to know about his father's affairs, so he replied immediately: "I haven't seen my father for a while, and I've been busy with the company's affairs recently." I heard that he traveled to a foreign country with a friend. ”

Grandpa snorted, and then said, "He's quite leisurely." He fell ill and was admitted to the hospital, but even if he came to visit, he didn't even have a phone call. ”

Gu Tingchen continued to help Gu Fan find excuses: "Dad may have gone to a remote country, and I heard from their housekeeper that he couldn't get through on his mobile phone recently." When he comes back, he will naturally come over to visit his grandfather. ”

After that, Gu Tingchen chatted with his grandfather for a while before returning home.

Gu Tingchen had just driven the car to the door of his villa, when he suddenly heard the mobile phone in his pocket ringing again. He was a little worried that it was a call from the hospital, so he quickly took out his phone.

There was an unfamiliar number on the phone screen.

Gu Tingchen pressed the answer button and put the phone close to his ear: "Hello, who is it?" ”

The male voice that had been changed by software came out of the receiver of the mobile phone: "Mr. Gu Tingchen, I called to make another deal with you." ”

Gu Tingchen's hand holding the mobile phone suddenly clenched: "Of course you can trade." But I need to know what my father is doing. ”

The male voice smiled grimly, and then said, "Of course we will send you a video of your father, don't worry, this Mr. Gu." ”

"Send my father's video and trading conditions to my mailbox." Gu Tingchen said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished saying this, the person on the other end of the phone hung up without saying anything.

Gu Tingchen quickly parked the car, went straight back to the bedroom, and turned on the computer.

However, more than half an hour passed, and he still did not receive an email from the other party.

Gu Tingchen operated the mouse and refreshed the page again. There are still no new emails in the mailbox.

Su Yuebai's voice sounded at the door of the bedroom: "Tingchen, I just heard from the housekeeper that grandpa is hospitalized, right?" ”

Gu Tingchen's gaze still stayed on the computer screen: "Yes." But I just went to visit him and the doctor said he was fine. It's inexplicable food poisoning. ”

As he spoke, he refreshed the web page again.

Su Yuebai walked up to Gu Tingchen's side, and then asked, "What are you doing?" Your face looks so gloomy. ”

Gu Tingchen frowned: "The kidnapper called me again just now, saying that he could trade with me again." I asked them to send a video to let me know how my father was doing. They agreed. ”

Speaking of this, he raised his hand and looked at his watch: "But it's been almost an hour now, and they still haven't sent an email." ”

Su Yuebai held his hand: "Wait a little longer, don't worry." Dad will be fine. After a pause, she said again, "You said before, the other party still wants to keep him as a trading chip, the other party's purpose is just money, and it won't hurt him." ”

Gu Tingchen nodded.

In the past few days, Su Yuebai knew that Gu Tingchen's mental state was very bad, but usually he didn't say it, so she didn't ask.

Gu Tingchen is like this, he usually keeps everything on his mind in his heart, and he always looks calm and calm on the surface.

"I'll pour you a glass of milk." Su Yuebai said, pulling Gu Tingchen's arm, "It's better if you don't go out to watch TV." If they send a video over, they will definitely contact you. "Nuancai Literature Network

Gu Tingchen knew that Su Yuebai had the intention to comfort herself, so she stood up immediately and said to her, "Okay, then let's go out and watch TV and wait." ”

As soon as the two of them came out of the living room, Zhao Lin came back from outside: "Yuebai, Tingchen, why do you get off work so early today?" ”

"Yes. Because my grandfather was admitted to the hospital, I left the company early. Gu Tingchen said and sat down on the sofa.

Su Yuebai reached out and picked up the remote control at the coffee table and turned on the TV.

Both of them tacitly did not mention Gu Fan's matter in front of Zhao Lin.

"Your grandfather is hospitalized? Why? Zhao Lin was a little surprised.

"It's nothing, the doctor said it should be food poisoning. Go visit him tomorrow. When Gu Tingchen spoke, his eyes stayed on the TV screen.

Zhao Lin walked up to Gu Tingchen and sat down: "Tingchen, let me tell you, since the banquet was held that night, many Kuo ladies in the city have begun to associate with me. Now I have a lot of people going to dinner every day, shopping, dancing, and all kinds of shows. ”

Gu Tingchen smiled slightly: "That's not good." ”

Zhao Lin showed a heartfelt smile on his face: "Yes." My life is much more exciting now than it was before. Mrs. Liang said that she would travel with me to Northern Europe in a few days, how about it, should I go with her? ”

Gu Tingchen's expression was indifferent, and he picked up the remote control to adjust the channel: "You can go if you want, you don't need to ask for our opinion." After a pause, he added, "Or you can bring the big white and the little white." I have sent men with you on your journey to protect you. ”

Zhao Lin reached out and took the biscuits in the small basket on the coffee table and ate them. After eating a few biscuits and drinking a little tea, she said again: "However, these broad ladies also came to make friends with me for the sake of Tingchen's face." At this age, it's not easy to make true friends. ”

Gu Tingchen has actually been thinking about the kidnappers sending him a video. But he couldn't show anxiety in front of Zhao Lin.

At this time, he turned his head to look at Zhao Lin: "It doesn't matter if it's sincere or not, a group of people chatting and playing everywhere will be another day." That's how retirement should be. ”

After that, Gu Tingchen and Su Yuebai chatted with Zhao Lin all the time. During this period, Gu Tingchen used the excuse of dealing with work emails, and went to the computer in the bedroom to check the emails a few times.

However, after checking it a few times, there is still no new email. The kidnappers never called him again.

At about eleven o'clock in the evening, after Gu Tingchen took a bath, he returned to the bedroom and called his subordinate Ah Teng.

"What happened to the one you asked you to check earlier?" As soon as the phone was connected, Gu Tingchen asked.

"Mr. Gu, we are still investigating. The other side seems to be a very tight organization, and we can find very little information. Ah Teng on the other end of the phone replied to him at this time.

Gu Tingchen frowned: "Then how long will it take for you to find out the details?" ”

Ah Teng was silent for a while before replying, "Actually, this ...... We don't know. Because the other party's ability to counter-detect is too high. The other party was prepared. ”

Gu Tingchen exhaled irritably, and then said, "Then you try to check it for me." Notify me as soon as there is new news. ”

"Okay, I understand, Mr. Gu." Aten replied.

After hanging up the phone, Gu Tingchen walked to the floor-to-ceiling window and looked at the night scene outside the window and pondered.

What happened to the other party? Why did you promise to give him the video, but you haven't contacted him? Have they repented?

Countless thoughts swirled in Gu Tingchen's heart.

He prides himself on being calm and composed, but this matter involves the safety of those closest to him, and he really can't maintain his usual state of strategizing and not being controlled by emotions.

And during this time, he had to be careful not to let his mother know about it. This made his whole spirit tense.

Su Yuebai's voice suddenly sounded behind him: "Tingchen, is there still no news over there?" ”

Gu Tingchen turned around and saw Su Yuebai, who was wearing a lake blue silk pajamas, standing behind him. He smiled wryly, then whispered, "No news." The person who went to investigate also said that there was no news. ”

Su Yuebai hugged him from behind: "Then we can only wait patiently." Dad, he's going to be fine. ”

Gu Tingchen held her hand around his waist: "Well, that's the only way." ”

Early the next morning, Gu Tingchen woke up to the ringing of a mobile phone call.

He slumped up and reached for his phone on the bedside table. As soon as he put the mobile phone to his ear, he heard a familiar male voice coming from the receiver of the mobile phone: "Mr. Gu, your grandfather's condition has deteriorated again." Can you come to the hospital? ”

The person who spoke was Grandpa's attending doctor. Gu Tingchen had communicated with him before, and if there was anything wrong with his grandfather's physical condition, he would contact him immediately.

Gu Tingchen frowned, and then replied, "Okay, I'll go over right now." ”

After he hung up the phone, Su Yuebai beside him also woke up. At this time, she sat up with a sleepy face: "Whose phone is it?" ”
