Gu Chenfei's remarkable efficiency was no exaggeration. She quickly assembled a team and led them to a warehouse in the urban area.
Leaving Gu Yangtao and Ji Ling behind, Gu Chenfei dashed out alone. However, Gu Yangtao managed to catch up with her, closely followed by Ji Ling.
Before leaving, Gu Yangtao grabbed the car door, her face solemn, looking like a pouting child.
“It's very dangerous,” Gu Chenfei looked up at her.
“I'm not afraid,” Gu Yangtao lifted her chin, her eyes showing no trace of fear.
Gu Yangtao truly wasn't afraid. Instead of waiting anxiously in the house for news, she preferred to go on this adventure with Gu Chenfei.
“If you don't want to waste time, get in the car quickly,” Gu Chenfei said as she got into the car.
After a two - second hesitation, Gu Yangtao came to her senses and quickly got into the car.
Ji Ling beside them sighed, opened the passenger - side door, and got in.
Even though the car was speeding, Gu Yangtao still thought it was too slow. She was constantly worried that something might happen to Gu Sisi.
“Uncle driver, can you go any faster?” Every few minutes, Gu Yangtao would ask. Before the driver got annoyed, Ji Ling was already fed up.
“My lady, could you stop asking? The car is already going as fast as it can. If we go any faster, we might get into an accident before Gu Sisi does,” Ji Ling covered his head, truly exasperated by this little troublemaker.
“What do you know? She's my real sister,” realizing she had slipped up, Gu Yangtao quickly covered her mouth.
She looked at Gu Chenfei in horror.
“Don't look at me. I know,” Gu Chenfei gave her a look as if she were an idiot, with an expression that seemed to say, “If you know it, how could I not?”
Gu Yangtao fell silent. Maybe she needed some quiet.
“Wait, wait, what the hell?! What are you two talking about?”
“Don't you worry about it. It's none of your business. You didn't hear anything. Forget about it. Do you hear me?” As soon as Ji Ling spoke, Gu Yangtao perked up.
“I... No, I heard clearly. You said Gu Sisi is your real sister. Don't try to fool me,” Ji Ling held on to this point and wouldn't let it go.
“What sister? She is. Ugh, she's Gu Chenfei. I meant Gu Chenfei. Got it?” Gu Yangtao rolled her eyes and involuntarily raised her voice to cover up her embarrassment.
For some unknown reason, Gu Yangtao didn't want more people to know about this.
As for Gu Chenfei, Gu Yangtao lowered her head guiltily and stole glances at Gu Chenfei's expression from time to time.
It seemed that everything was normal.
Thank goodness, Gu Yangtao patted her chest, about to breathe a sigh of relief. Just then, Gu Chenfei suddenly leaned in and whispered in her ear, “I'll settle the score with you when we get back.”
Gu Yangtao trembled in fright, then saw the “inhuman” one calmly sit back up.
“We're here,” Gu Chenfei said expressionlessly as she opened the car door and got out.
Seeing Gu Yangtao still in a daze, Gu Chenfei hesitated for a second and then simply dragged her out.
“Gen...gently,” Gu Yangtao groaned in discomfort. This Gu Chenfei never used gentle force on her.
“Sis? Are we just going in like this?” Looking at the warehouse in front of her, Gu Yangtao felt a strange sense of fear.
“Of course not,” Gu Chenfei gave her that “idiot” look again. Gu Yangtao scratched her head in confusion. What was wrong? Had she asked something wrong?
Feeling that she couldn't stay around Gu Chenfei anymore, Gu Yangtao silently walked over to Ji Ling's side.
“Hey, what are you laughing at?” Seeing Ji Ling covering his mouth and laughing, Gu Yangtao was annoyed. Just when she was making a fool of herself, Ji Ling was laughing. Naturally, Gu Yangtao thought he was laughing at her.
Sure enough, she was right. Ji Ling was laughing at her.
“I'm laughing at you. Didn't you see the car parked here? It's still some distance from the warehouse. We're definitely not going in directly. Otherwise, why would we park the car here? Your IQ, seriously, it's not even as good as the driver's. For someone so young, you should eat more walnuts to boost your brainpower,” Ji Ling stopped covering his mouth and burst out laughing.
“You... You're going too far!” Gu Yangtao stamped her foot in anger but was helpless.
Gu Chenfei seemed oblivious to the situation. Everything revolved around her, creating a safe zone where everything was harmonious and the world was peaceful, but it was a bit cold.
It was that highly - composed assistant who was standing beside Gu Chenfei, seemingly reporting the situation.
Gu Yangtao didn't hear what was being reported, but she saw Gu Chenfei frown. It was really rare.
What on earth was going on inside? What could make Gu Chenfei so tense? Was Gu Sisi in danger? Gu Yangtao's heart skipped a beat.
“What... What's going on? What happened? What's the situation inside?” Without thinking, Gu Yangtao rushed over and grabbed Gu Chenfei's arm, firing off three questions in a row.
Gu Chenfei's gaze slowly moved from Gu Yangtao's hand on her arm to Gu Yangtao's face.
Her eyes were full of threat. On any other day, Gu Yangtao would have been terrified and run away. But this time, she didn't back down. She really wanted to know what was going on.
“Tell me. I really...”
Before Gu Yangtao could finish her sentence, Gu Chenfei opened the car door behind her, stuffed her inside, and quickly locked the door. The whole process took less than five seconds.
It was so fast that Gu Yangtao didn't even have time to react before she was locked in the car by Gu Chenfei.
Then Gu Chenfei walked away without looking back, just as decisive as when she locked Gu Yangtao in.
Gu Yangtao tried to tap on the car window. Ji Ling glanced at her and then followed Gu Chenfei. Seeing that most of the people Gu Chenfei had brought had walked over, only a few were left guarding the car.
Gu Yangtao suddenly felt very worried. Not for any other reason, but because Gu Chenfei's action was so sudden. Gu Chenfei was never one to spoil her. For her to make Gu Yangtao avoid something, it was either an extremely dangerous situation or something Gu Chenfei didn't want Gu Yangtao to see.
If it was the latter, it would be okay. But if it was the former, Gu Yangtao really didn't know what to do.
To be honest, although Gu Yangtao was reluctant to admit it, in her heart, Gu Chenfei was omnipotent. There was nothing she couldn't solve and nothing she couldn't do. Gu Yangtao was extremely afraid that there were important people in that dilapidated - looking warehouse in front of her.
Gu Chenfei, Gu Sisi, and Ji Ling...
