Ji Ling rambled on for quite a while on his own, but Gu Yangtao didn't give him the slightest reaction. Ji Ling scrutinized Gu Yangtao's expression carefully.
After the inspection, Ji Ling looked as if his heart was dead. He covered his chest with his hand, looking extremely heart - broken.
"All is lost. She's gone crazy. I thought she was just calm. It's over."
"Alas~" Ji Ling heaved a heavy sigh. He put his arm around Gu Yangtao, and the two of them seemed to be dependent on each other. Their gazes were fixed on one spot, waiting to see what other surprises Gu Chenfei would have in store for them.
"It's okay. There's still Dad. Dad will take care of you." Ji Ling couldn't help adding another remark.
Before Gu Yangtao in his arms could react, Gu Chenfei threw a pillow right at Ji Ling. To be exact, it hit his face, not his head.
The force was so powerful that Ji Ling almost thought he was going to be disfigured.
After Gu Chenfei threw the pillow, Ji Ling felt two streams of sweet - smelling and rusty liquid trickling down from his nose.
Years of medical experience told him that it was blood!!!
Ji Ling casually grabbed a piece of paper to stop the nosebleed. Whenever this kind of thing happened, Ji Ling was extremely grateful that he was a doctor and was used to dealing with such situations.
Well, except that he never thought he would end up in this situation one day.
Thinking of this, Ji Ling clenched his fists. Filled with indignation, he muttered, "This Gu Chenfei is really going too far. She actually hit my face with a pillow, my straight nose. How could one just hit a nose casually? What if it gets crooked? Really, she's so childish."
"Rude, ill - bred, and barbaric."
As he was scolding, Ji Ling suddenly felt a chill. He looked up and met Gu Chenfei's eyes. The impact was just too much. Ji Ling instantly felt that compared to this, his nose injury was just a minor one.
Knowing that he couldn't win this confrontation, Ji Ling chose to silently lower his head and made a zipping motion over his mouth.
There was nothing he could do. A real man knows when to yield. Women should be indulged a bit. Ji Ling was really open - minded about this.
"Luckily, luckily, I didn't scold out loud just now. Otherwise, I'd be in big trouble now." Ji Ling patted his chest to calm his nerves.
Thanks to Ji Ling's "ability to yield", Gu Chenfei finally averted her gaze. She looked at her assistant again, signaling him to continue. Then the assistant's voice, just like that of a news anchor, started again. Ji Ling thought, "I'm so sleepy!"
"Miss Gu Sisi walked alone to the garage and drove a car out. We observed her driving route, and it was indeed headed towards the Huo residence. But in the end, Miss Gu Sisi didn't drive there."
"Then how did she get there? Where's the car?" Ji Ling couldn't help but ask. The main reason was that this assistant was so long - winded. It was like those suspense dramas deliberately keeping the audience in suspense, but now it was a matter of life and death.
Ji Ling was extremely anxious. He would never admit that he was just listening to it as a suspense story.
But it wasn't easy to interrupt, especially in front of Gu Chenfei.
Ji Ling soon received Gu Chenfei's "kind" look. It was so "kind" that Ji Ling felt like crying.
Just as he turned to look at Gu Yangtao in his arms for some comfort, Gu Yangtao suddenly punched him right on the chin, catching him off guard.
Ji Ling felt that his chin was dislocated.
This time, he really wanted to cry.
Hit on the chin, Ji Ling couldn't open his mouth to speak. He felt so wronged. His hand still maintained the original position, holding Gu Yangtao's shoulder and pulling her into his arms.
"Crunch"
"Ah!"
Two sounds came at the same time. The "crunch" seemed to be the sound of Ji Ling's hand bone breaking, and the "ah!" was, of course, Ji Ling's scream.
Seeing this commotion, the assistant maintained a smile, as if he was really used to it.
Gu Chenfei just glanced back indifferently and then ignored it. She raised her hand to signal the assistant to continue.
How inhumane!
This was Ji Ling's only thought, automatically omitting the following one - thousand - word swear words...
After regaining her senses, Gu Yangtao sat next to Gu Chenfei and started to listen to the assistant's report together.
Gu Yangtao's coming seemed to be expected by Gu Chenfei, and yet also unexpected. Anyway, Gu Chenfei didn't seem strange at all, like a still river without the slightest ripple. In such situations, it always made people doubt their own existence.
Gu Yangtao was also a bit annoyed.
"Ouch, ouch~"
"Hmm..." The following wailing sounds actually proved Ji Ling's existence to Gu Yangtao.
"Miss Gu Sisi drove the car to a car wash. She left the address of Mr. Huo Cheng's home and then took a taxi away."
Gu Yangtao had to admit that she was a bit impressed by this assistant's ability. Really, in such a chaotic environment, he could still report his work so calmly. He was definitely not an ordinary person.
Those who worked with Gu Chenfei were really not ordinary people. Maybe they were all like her, non - human.
Gu Yangtao propped her chin and continued to listen. This assistant probably didn't know what kind of image he had in Gu Yangtao's eyes.
"After that, we traced the taxi that Miss Gu Sisi took, but this taxi didn't go to the Huo residence. As for the specific whereabouts, due to time constraints, our people are still tracking it. Please wait a moment. The result will come out soon."
If it weren't for his painful hand, Ji Ling really wanted to clap. Really, what kind of efficiency did these people have? Not long ago, they just got this news. As soon as they got the news, they rushed to the Huo family. Ji Ling really didn't know when Gu Chenfei had arranged all these things.
He really didn't expect that after following Gu Chenfei for so many years, she could still surprise him so much.
When exactly did she do it? Completely treating this as a suspense drama, Ji Ling started to think.
He thought and thought. Gu Chenfei had been with them all the time. There were only three of them. Could Gu Chenfei have the ability to split herself?
But for something that could be done just by making a phone call, there was probably no need for that. Ji Ling squinted his eyes and thought.
Phone?!
Hmm... Ji Ling suddenly understood. In the car, Gu Chenfei had been on the phone all the time. She hung up after just a few words. Ji Ling actually forgot that this was exactly Gu Chenfei's tone when handling official business.
"General Manager Gu, we've traced the whereabouts of that taxi."
"Damn it..." Ji Ling was really shocked. What kind of efficiency was this?!
Wasn't it said that they still had to wait a while?
No, thinking carefully, it seemed that the guy just said to wait a moment.
Ji Ling suddenly felt that he was getting old and couldn't keep up with the rhythm of the world.
"This taxi is headed towards an old warehouse in the urban area."
