Qin Sijue’s number, no matter how many times she called, always returned the same cold, mechanical repeating voice...
Qin Sijue, where on earth are you...
Suddenly, a bout of abdominal pain caused her to furrow her brow, and she couldn’t help but bring her hand to it.
Seeing this, the elderly lady hurriedly came over, looking at her with a face full of concern and anxiously asked, "Qiangwei, what’s wrong with you?"
Gu Qiangwei, enduring the pain in her abdomen, waved her hand, "It’s nothing."
"Is it your stomach? You haven’t been eating properly these last few days." The elderly lady looked at her with a face full of heartache.
The initial plan was to have her stay at the Commander Residence to take better care of her, but upon hearing the news of her grandson’s disappearance, she had barely eaten over the past few days. The elderly lady worried her body couldn’t take it if this continued.
Hearing the elderly lady’s words, Gu Qiangwei, enduring the slight pain in her belly, looked up and suddenly turned towards the elderly lady.
"I need to go back to Jueyuan for a bit."
"My stomach condition is acting up; I need to get some medicine."
Upon hearing this, the elderly lady became even more worried, "It’s just stomach medicine. I can ask the family doctor to bring it over."
Looking at her extremely uncomfortable appearance, how could the elderly lady rest easy letting her go back alone?
"No, I must take that particular medicine to feel better," Gu Qiangwei suddenly added.
The elderly lady didn’t understand this, "Then granny will accompany you there."
"No, it’s fine, I’ll ask a friend to pick me up. Don’t worry."
After saying that, she made a call to Li Yuan.
Before long, Li Yuan arrived.
Seeing that it was Li Yuan, the elderly lady felt much reassured.
Together, the two of them left the Commander Residence.
On the road, Li Yuan was worried about Qin Sijue, and at the same time, concerned about Gu Qiangwei.
"Does your stomach still hurt? You could have just asked me to bring the medicine over. Why insist on going to Jueyuan to get it?"
Turning his head to glance at Gu Qiangwei, Li Yuan’s brow remained tightly knit.
Because three days had passed, and yet, there was still no trace of Qin Sijue, no news whatsoever.
"I need to go to City C!"
Startled by her sudden declaration, Li Yuan braked hard, bringing the car to a stop, then turned his head in surprise to look at Gu Qiangwei in the passenger seat.
"You want to go to City C?"
"Yes!" Gu Qiangwei turned her head, looking anxiously at Li Yuan, "Do you know the location of Qin Si’s company? And the hotel where he stays?"
Looking at her resolved expression, Li Yuan hesitated several seconds before speaking, "Qiangwei, City C is huge; even if you go, it’s not certain that you can find Sijue..."
"Don’t say anything more; I’m going no matter what. You just need to tell me if you know the way!" Gu Qiangwei was adamant, as if nothing could stop her.
She lied about her stomach pains to leave because she knew the elderly lady at the Commander Residence would definitely not allow her to go.
Li Yuan stared at her for a while but said nothing.
Gu Qiangwei thought he didn’t want to take her to City C, so she suddenly opened the car door.
"Hey, Qiangwei!" Li Yuan quickly reached out, grabbing her and stopping her from getting out of the car.
"Of course it’s true, because I was planning to go to City C to look for Sijue, too."
Looking at Li Yuan, Gu Qiangwei felt grateful in her heart.
But before leaving, she had to make a call to her parents, so they wouldn’t worry about her.
"What? You’re going to City C to find Qin Sijue!?"
In the living room, Tang Yuyan, upon receiving her daughter’s call, was anxious.
She had heard that Qin Sijue’s sudden disappearance was caused by a riot led by a group of villagers.
