Fearing that the granddaughter-in-law would worry, Zhuang Yanyan quickly stood up and shouted towards Qin Guozhong, "Hey, old man!"
Qin Guozhong leaned on his cane and glanced at his wife, "What is it?"
"You better have someone check where exactly Sijue is now. Why can’t we reach his cell phone, and why doesn’t he reply to messages?"
Qin Guozhong shared her earlier sentiment.
It was not uncommon for that grandson, who was often abroad, not to reply to messages or phone calls. There was nothing to fuss over.
He walked over unhurriedly and sat down in the armchair.
"Isn’t this normal? When that kid was overseas, I could call him a dozen times and he wouldn’t return one, but wasn’t he all right the next day?"
After hearing this, the old lady frowned.
Indeed, that was the case, but...
She lifted her gaze to Gu Qiangwei and saw she was still anxious. Her initially calmed heart began to grow restless again, "If I tell you to check, just check. What’s with all the nonsense!?"
"What’s there to check? Didn’t he call you the day before yesterday?"
Zhuang Yanyan glanced at Gu Qiangwei who remained worried and threw a cushion towards Qin Guozhong, "I’m telling you, you senile old man, why so much talk? Can’t you see the granddaughter-in-law is worried!?"
Though old, Qin Guozhong still had sharp reflexes. With a tilt of his body, he dodged his wife’s ’attack’ and then glanced at Gu Qiangwei again, noticing she indeed looked unsettled.
At that moment, Gu Qiangwei also looked up, and their eyes met—his weary with the passage of time, "Grandpa, he never fails to reply to my messages. If he’s busy for a while, he’ll reply to me even late at night while going to bed, no matter what time."
No matter how busy, he wouldn’t go without eating, drinking, or using the restroom, right?
She understood Qin Sijue; it was not like him not to call her.
Even if she didn’t message him first, he, being so far abroad, would definitely call her.
She always felt that something must have happened for Qin Sijue not to reply to her messages.
Hearing Gu Qiangwei’s words, Qin Guozhong also fell into deep thought.
He still believed in his grandson’s abilities. What could have happened to a perfectly fine person, and with Luo Chen there, too?
He was also fully aware of the incident that had happened in City C. There was a security guard over fifty who had reached the age of retirement when he was unexpectedly fired. A few days later, the man died in his grandson’s subsidiary company, and then his family started making trouble with a bunch of villagers...
It was a trivial matter; his grandson should have been able to resolve it easily.
Those villagers simply wanted compensation.
However, the incident had occurred several days ago and still hadn’t been resolved. Could it be that something unexpected really happened?
After much deliberation and another glance at Gu Qiangwei, Qin Guozhong suddenly began to feel uneasy.
Both his sons and daughters-in-law had passed away, now, he had only two precious grandsons left. If something really happened, how would he face Cheng Yan and Zhiya after his death?
With this thought, he turned his head and called for Wei Qing, who stood at the door.
"Check the current location of Young Master."
"Young Master Sijue?"
Just as Wei Qing left, Gu Qiangwei’s cell phone abruptly rang.
The moment the phone vibrated, Gu Qiangwei instinctively thought it was a call returning from Qin Sijue.
But upon a glance, the caller ID showed Luo Chen.
Though it was unexpected, Gu Qiangwei still answered immediately, bringing the phone to her ear, "Hello? Luo Chen!"
