Yang Qian felt that Jiang Lihao was acting very strangely. She had no idea what was going on with him. Now, preoccupied with Gu Sisi's situation, Yang Qian didn't have the time or energy to think about why Jiang Lihao was acting like this all of a sudden or about his recent strange behavior.
She'll ask him about it after all this is over, Yang Qian thought to herself.
After holding her for a while, Jiang Lihao let go.
"Come on, I'll take you to check the surveillance records," he said, pulling Yang Qian's hand and walking forward.
Feeling the warmth from his fingertips, Yang Qian was momentarily stunned. Suddenly, she remembered when she first met Jiang Lihao. The atmosphere between them was tense at that time, but somehow, she fell in love with him later.
Fate is truly mysterious.
Yang Qian couldn't help but sigh. She quickly shook her head, trying to get rid of these thoughts in her mind. What's wrong with her? Her mind was wandering. The most important thing now should be Gu Sisi's matter.
Jiang Lihao sent people out to look for Gu Sisi, while Yang Qian and Jiang Lihao stayed at home to check the surveillance records, hoping to provide a time reference for the searchers. They also called in a technician, hoping to find the location of Gu Sisi's phone. Yang Qian tried calling several times, but each time, the automated voice said, "Sorry, the number you dialed is not answered for the moment." After a few more attempts, Yang Qian gave up.
Forget it. There's no use doing this.
Yang Qian started to focus on the surveillance. First, she saw Gu Sisi and Gu Chenfei talking in the corridor. After standing there for a while, Gu Chenfei left, and Gu Sisi followed her out.
"Hurry, check the surveillance at the main entrance," Yang Qian urged. The technician looked up at Jiang Lihao, and Jiang Lihao nodded in agreement.
The surveillance footage at the main entrance was retrieved. In the video, Gu Chenfei got into a car. Then, Gu Sisi stood at the entrance for a while and left too.
"She's heading towards the garage," Jiang Lihao said thoughtfully.
It was Sister Hu who reacted first. "I'll go and check which car is missing from the garage."
"No need. She must have gone to the Huo Residence. There's no other possibility. Since Gu Sisi wants to find Huo Cheng and knows he's at the Huo Residence, she'll definitely go there. It's no use just checking the surveillance here. We'd better go directly to the Huo Residence to look for her," Jiang Lihao said, rubbing his temples.
Yang Qian fell silent. She understood the logic, but she also knew very well what kind of place the Huo Residence was.
"Are you really going?" Yang Qian asked, as if to confirm. For this kind of thing, it seemed that only Jiang Lihao was suitable to go.
Apart from Jiang Lihao, who else could go to the Huo family and at least ask some questions?
"Yes. I have to go to the Huo family. Don't worry. I'll be back soon," Jiang Lihao said, stroking Yang Qian's head.
"Can I go with you?" Yang Qian looked up at Jiang Lihao.
"No. You should stay at Huo Cheng's house. Don't go anywhere. Besides, there's the baby. You have to stay and take care of the baby."
"For now, at least, the Huo family is still safe for you. I'm afraid that if you come with me, you might be in danger."
Jiang Lihao didn't say the last part.
His attitude was very firm, a look Yang Qian rarely saw. It seemed that there was no room for refusal.
After thinking about it carefully, it did make sense. If Yang Qian left too, she really wouldn't be able to rest assured about the baby. So Yang Qian agreed.
"Then go quickly and come back safely. Be careful. Don't make me worry."
"After I'm done with this, I can leave with a clear conscience. Huo Cheng, I won't owe you anything anymore," Jiang Lihao said silently to himself after finishing a cigarette. Then he got into the car.
Yang Qian watched Jiang Lihao leave at the door. Her heart was filled with mixed feelings. She started to wonder what Gu Sisi was thinking when she watched Gu Chenfei leave last night. Was she thinking about how to leave later?
Why did she have to leave?
Yang Qian couldn't figure it out. This also reminded her of what Jiang Lihao asked her before he left.
At that time, Jiang Lihao held her face and asked, "Qianqian, if I were Huo Cheng and you were Gu Sisi, and it was me who was detained by the family, would you go looking for me like Gu Sisi?"
Yang Qian still remembered the bright look in Jiang Lihao's eyes at that time. He seemed to be really looking forward to her answer and also looked very nervous, which made Yang Qian feel nervous too.
"I'll wait for you to come back at home," Yang Qian heard her own voice, as if it was floating in the air. It just came out involuntarily.
She didn't know why, but maybe this answer didn't satisfy Jiang Lihao. Yang Qian saw his eyes dim.
"I'm leaving," Jiang Lihao said and turned around to get into the car.
Actually, Yang Qian hadn't finished her sentence. The whole sentence should be like this: "I'll wait for you to come back at home. I know you'll definitely come back, but I don't want to be a burden to you."
Yang Qian knew that she was different from Gu Sisi. Gu Sisi was gradually getting better. Even when changing careers, she was doing very well and was not inferior at all. Her aura was also growing day by day. But what about herself? Yang Qian knew that she was doing okay at work, but if she had to face a place like the Huo family, she would probably panic first.
It seemed that if such a thing happened to her, staying at home and waiting for Jiang Lihao to come back would be the best choice for her.
Anyway, Jiang Lihao would always come back, right? There's nothing to worry about.
Yang Qian stood there for a while longer until she couldn't see Jiang Lihao's car anymore. Then she slowly turned around and went back.
In the car, Jiang Lihao sat silently with a gloomy face.
His assistant thought he was thinking about what to do when he got to the Huo Residence later. Knowing that the matter was troublesome, the assistant didn't ask any questions.
Actually, Jiang Lihao's mind was full of Yang Qian's expression when she said, "I'll wait for you to come back at home."
"I really wish you could come with me," Jiang Lihao murmured.
"Sir, what did you say?" the dedicated assistant in the front seat suddenly looked at Jiang Lihao through the rear - view mirror and asked.
"Nothing," Jiang Lihao coughed lightly.
After the car had been driving for a while, the driver suddenly said, "Sir, it seems that someone is following us."
"So soon. Shake them off," Jiang Lihao said. He hadn't expected the pursuers to come so quickly.
"Sure thing," said the driver, Lao Xu, looking very excited, as if he had found the passion and motivation from his younger days.
He stepped on the accelerator, turned the steering wheel sharply, made a big turn, and led the pursuers on a detour. In no time, he managed to shake them off.
"You're amazing, Lao Xu. That drift just now was really cool!" the assistant in the front - passenger seat couldn't help but give Lao Xu a thumbs - up. Lao Xu felt embarrassed and scratched his head, saying, "You're overpraising me."
