Chapter 798: Chapter 798: Miss Lu, or Mrs. Gu? (4)
Lu Jingtian swiftly approached and collected the cup she had just used, then searched the area where she had been sitting, finding a few strands of hair that had naturally fallen out.
His hands were somewhat trembling, and his face was uncharacteristically gloomy.
If… if that matter were true…
He clenched his teeth, gathered the items, and knew he must confirm the outcome.
But even if she truly were his biological daughter, considering her attitude, she clearly did not regard him as her father.
Who in this world is not driven by profit?
Ha, even with Gu Annan’s child and the inheritance rights to the Gu family, she still does not want to let go of Jin’an, this lucrative opportunity.
Gu Annan stood in front of the office’s floor-to-ceiling windows, squinting his eyes, “These past two years, aside from nearly getting caught in Country R last time, there’s been no trace of him. But his family has always remained in France, and Wen Qiao never left. Are you sure Wen Qiao would know so much?”
Ji Shaoyang said confidently, “Although she hasn’t mentioned it, I have this intuition. Give me some time, and perhaps I’ll know.”
“With all due respect, Shaoyang, you haven’t known her for long. If your intuition were so accurate, you probably wouldn’t be surprised by her sudden disappearance,” Gu Annan spoke mildly, setting down his coffee cup, “Most importantly, you don’t even know why she showed up here, so don’t be too confident.”
“I understand what you mean, Cesar might have intentionally left her behind, allowing Bai Youchen to bring her back. Once I know, I will definitely find her.”
He nodded, pondered for a moment, “If she really knows, yet refuses to say, then that possibility is even greater. If she were a victim, she should voluntarily reveal what she knows.”
“I trust my intuition this time, and I believe… she won’t harm me,” Ji Shaoyang stated confidently, “Her fear of Cesar is accumulated over many years, it’s normal for her not to dare say anything at the moment.”
Gu Annan contemplated, “Just this bit of clues overnight?”
Ji Shaoyang thought a bit, “There’s another point I’m not certain of. When I was pressing her about those matters, I could only gauge her reactions. I feel… your statement about him being in North America and South America might not be right.”
“Of course,” Gu Annan snorted coldly, the backlight casting a more imposing aura on him, “He could be anywhere, currently no place is certain. But I also think he might not be in America.”
“Huh? But didn’t you say…”
“He indeed has a base in South America, but his people might not necessarily hide in what seems to be the safest place.”
Ji Shaoyang pondered for a moment, saying nothing.
His understanding of Cesar, of course, couldn’t match Gu Annan’s.
Gu Annan’s phone lit up, and with a softened tone, he said, “If your ‘intuition’ is done talking, you should head back.”
“Kicking me out so soon?”
“Rushing to hold a meeting.” He said while picking up the intercom, instructing his secretary to reschedule the meeting to an earlier time.
Ji Shaoyang watched him hang up the phone, “Got an appointment with Wanwan?”
Gu Annan raised an eyebrow, “Is that strange?”
“Heard your grandmother doesn’t quite approve.” Ji Shaoyang had also received an invitation to Madam Gu’s 90th birthday due to his familiarity with the Gu family; such news spread quickly, “She even ended up in the hospital.”
“The elderly are a bit stubborn.” He said nonchalantly as he walked out of the office, “but on this matter, there’s no room for negotiation.”
