Huangfu Jue strode to the bathroom door and called out Gan Tang’s name. Receiving no response, he turned on the light and pushed the door open only to find that the restroom was empty.
Frowning, he returned and entered the room across the hall belonging to Gan Yuan. The closet was ajar, and the bed was folded neatly, showing no signs of having been slept in.
A bad feeling arose in his heart, and he turned and rushed downstairs gripping the report.
"Where are they?" Grasping the bodyguard’s collar, Huangfu Jue urgently asked, "Where are the mother and son?"
The bodyguard looked startled, "Didn’t Miss Gan... call you?"
"Miss Gan came out holding the young master, said he had a fever and asked me to arrange a car to take them to the hospital. She also mentioned that she would contact you by telephone..."
From afar, hurried footsteps sounded, followed by someone gasping for breath as they ran over.
"Sir... Sir... Not... This isn’t good..."
The person approaching was none other than David, the bodyguard who had earlier escorted Gan Yuan and her child away.
After regaining consciousness, he struggled to untie his tie that had been restraining his hands. Without a cell phone and certain that he couldn’t hail a ride in the outskirts, he had no choice but to run back to the castle to report.
Huangfu Jue dashed from the steps, seizing his arm.
"What happened to Gan Yuan?" Huangfu Jue was feeling murderous, "Speak!"
"She... she left... She took my car, and... and my phone..."
Huangfu Jue gritted his teeth, "How long ago?"
"About..." David paused, "Three hours ago."
Huangfu Jue cursed out loud, turned, and rushed upstairs, sprinting up to the fourth floor. He input the code to his desk, pulled open the drawer, and as expected, both her and Gan Tang’s passports were gone.
"Gan Yuan, you wait!"
He slammed the drawer shut and turned around, dashing down the stairs. Huangfu Jue stormed down the steps.
"Contact the airport immediately, I need to go back to B City now."
More than a dozen hours later.
In B City, at the residential area where Gan Yuan had rented a place.
The tightly closed door had just been cracked open when Huangfu Jue pushed it wide.
The chubby woman who was about to scold the visitor gaped upon seeing the strikingly handsome man standing before her and froze on the spot.
Huangfu Jue gave the room a quick glance. Among the clutter on the floor was unmistakably the toy he had bought for Gan Tang.
The woman came to her senses, her tone turning petulant, "She moved out. You must be her friend, and what a thoughtless friend you are! At least take your own things when you move out. All this junk, am I supposed to throw it out or not... just a phone call saying she won’t stay... Hey, don’t go, I wasn’t done talking. Tell her I’m throwing all this out..."
Huangfu Jue paused on the stairs, "Buy the apartment, keep everything inside as it is."
Will immediately gestured to the subordinates following behind, and they continued to follow him downstairs.
Having just sat down in the car downstairs, one of the subordinates had already dialed Will’s mobile phone. After finishing the call, Will spoke up in an apologetic tone, "The airport has just confirmed that three hours ago, Miss Gan and her son took a flight back. Now, where do we go?!"
Huangfu Jue fell silent in the back seat for a moment.
