Gu Yuluo talked about pushing Gu Mengyang out, but in her heart, she was also thinking of a countermeasure.
After pondering for a long while, she asked Gu Huaijin, "Do you know how to contact Qiu Mingzi, or anyone who might have been in touch with him?"
God knows which Qiu Mingzi it was; with no contact information or related online accounts, she didn’t even know where to start her investigation.
"Ask Second, he knows," Gu Huaijin replied.
"Don’t rush to mobilize people on the family side either. Since the little girl dared to kill someone, she must have planned her escape route well. Perhaps, our intervention won’t even be necessary," Gu Yuluo said to Gu Huaijin, after coming up with something.
"Understood," Gu Huaijin responded in a cool and indifferent tone.
"Gu Ying’s injuries should have healed by now, right?" Gu Yuluo asked suddenly, as something crossed her mind.
Gu Huaijin: "Why are you asking this out of the blue?"
"Once she has recovered, let her return to work," Gu Yuluo directed, speaking on the phone with her gaze slightly lowered, her Lolita Voice sounding somewhat chilly and eerily unsettling.
Sensing something off in Gu Yuluo’s tone, Gu Huaijin inquired, "What’s wrong?"
"Previously, the little girl was kidnapped. It was Scorpio’s doing; the intel is locked down by the Ever Winning Army. To this day, I still haven’t found out who placed the order." The head of the information security department of the Ever Winning Army wasn’t as skilled in hacking as she was, but the Ever Winning Army did have a formidable defense system. Plus, they were exceptionally good at remaining hidden, so much so that she hadn’t even found out which members of Scorpio were involved.
As Gu Yuluo finished speaking, Gu Huaijin fell into a long silence on the other end. Finally, after a lengthy pause, he spoke in a cold voice, "When did it happen?"
Across the internet, Gu Yuluo could feel the icy tone in his voice.
"August 12," she remembered the date well.
"You haven’t found anything, and neither has the police?"
"No news. Visit the City Bureau when you have time and apply some pressure. I suspect the person who placed the order has backup," Gu Yuluo said with a slight narrowing of her eyes.
"Understood," Gu Huaijin replied coldly, pausing for a moment before adding, "When she comes back, I will have Gu Ying follow her again."
She wasn’t the real little girl, so Gu Huaijin wasn’t about to let her do as she pleased. Starting two years ago, Gu Huaijin had assigned Gu Ying to follow her.
It was said to be for protection, but in reality, it was to surveil and restrict her movements.
With Gu Ying there, "Gu Zhiqi" hadn’t done anything too outrageous for the past two years.
That was until three months ago, when Gu Ying was seriously injured and Gu Xiyue came back.
Failing to find a suitable person to follow "Gu Zhiqi," Gu Huaijin had not appointed anyone to keep an eye on her, little knowing that it would lead to so much trouble later on.
Hearing Gu Huaijin’s words, Gu Yuluo didn’t say much else, "Okay, let’s leave it at that for now. I’ll look into Qiu Mingzi. Remember to message me if there’s any movement from the Feng Shui Alliance."
"Hmm," Gu Huaijin replied indifferently.
After ending the call with Gu Huaijin, Gu Yuluo immediately sent a message to Gu Mengyang.
[Saner: Do you know who Qiu Mingzi has been in contact with? I need their contact details]
It wasn’t long before Gu Mengyang responded to Gu Yuluo’s message.
[Old Dog Gu: Did the boss tell you?]
[Old Dog Gu: Meng Xiao, an artist under the company, I’ll send you the contact details later]
Gu Mengyang didn’t have Meng Xiao’s contact information either; usually, they communicated through Li Xiao.
Seeing this, Gu Yuluo raised her eyebrows slightly.
An artist from the company?
She clicked her tongue softly, then sent another message.
[Old Dog Gu: A-lister]
Upon seeing this, Gu Yuluo immediately typed a message.
[Saner: If they’re famous, I don’t need the contact details]
After sending the message, just as she was about to look up information on Meng Xiao, a thought struck her, and she paused before sending one more message to Gu Mengyang.
