The next day, Luo Wanqing was awakened by the sound of a violent storm hitting the window.
Gu Lanchen was nowhere to be found, and she vaguely climbed up on the bed.
The second day of her menstrual period was far less difficult than yesterday, and Luo Wanqing wanted to go downstairs to get a cup of hot water.
The moment her fingertips touched the cup, she flinched.
This water is hot.
Wherever she looked, she caught a glimpse of a piece of paper.
"Today is a day off. Let's take a break from the company's work and have a good rest. I will bring you delicious food back from get off work."
The cool and elegant handwriting was written by Gu Lanchen at first glance.
Luo Wanqing was exhausted from many days of work, so she didn't refuse. She went downstairs and drank egg soup on the sofa.
There was a strong wind outside the house, but it was warm and soft inside. Luo Wanqing had just found a speech video he liked when his cell phone rang at an inappropriate time.
She lowered her eyes and saw a familiar name jumping on the screen. It was a little girl in her group.
"Team leader, what time will you come today?"
The little girl's tone was anxious and low.
Sensing something was wrong, Luo Wanqing put down the small bowl in his hand and said seriously.
"What's wrong."
"It seems that a wife from the Gu family has brought a man here. Now that man is rummaging through your work station. No one can stop him."
After the words fell, Luo Wanqing instantly understood that besides the person he met at the old house, who else in the Gu family was watching the company every day, trying to find ways to place people in the company.
"We'll be there in fifteen minutes."
Ignoring the pain in her lower abdomen, Luo Wanqing just changed her clothes and went out.
Upon seeing this, Ma Li hurriedly came over and said, "Miss Luo, what are you doing? The young master told me that you are not feeling well."
"I'll go to the company and be back soon. Mother Li, please help me make red date soup."
After saying this, Luo Wanqing quickly pushed out the door and went straight to the company.
"Where are the people?"
Just after getting off the elevator, Luo Wanqing looked around and found no strange figure.
Even...she looked down at the table.
Her workstation showed no signs of being turned over.
"Team leader, you're here." The girl who tipped off the news rushed over and said hurriedly, "I just made people familiar with the department and then left. I chose the workstation next to you and said I would report tomorrow."
"Mrs. Gu brought it to you personally?"
"Yes." The girl nodded, "They say he is the son of Mr. Gu's third uncle Yuanfang. He just came back from gilding overseas."
The sixth sense was looming, and his intuition told Luo Wanqing that things were not that simple.
She calmly collected her emotions and looked sideways.
"I see."
He wanted to go home, but as soon as he walked to the door, Luo Wanqing saw the heavy rain pouring outside.
Amidst the lightning and thunder, the cars on the street were crowded together one after another. After thinking about it for a moment, I guess I can't go back now.
Recalling that Li Ma seemed to have said that Gu Lan had eaten breakfast... Luo Wanqing bought some at the convenience store downstairs and took the elevator straight to the top floor.
Unlike other floors, Gu's top floor is quiet and serious.
Luo Wanqing walked step by step, and she could only hear her footsteps in her ears.
It was a dim rainy day, and Luo Wanqing couldn't see Gu Lanchen's figure behind the semi-frosted glass.
Missing her suddenly, Luo Wanqing jogged for two steps.
Just as she was about to open the door... her little hand holding the doorknob paused!
"Mr. Gu, the person you asked me to check before has some clues."
"The people we sent in the suburbs sent word that they saw Wang Biao near the dividing line with the next city."
"This man was previously on the list of victims of the fire. Logically speaking, he should not be alive."
Lin Han's voice slowly came out from inside.
Luo Wanqing's palms were covered with a thin layer of sweat, and she obviously couldn't stand firm.
How is it possible, how is he still alive?
Getting closer, Luo Wanqing almost pressed his entire ear against the door panel.
After Gu Lanchen signaled to continue, she heard Lin Han say again.
"When I sensed something was wrong, I asked someone to conduct an in-depth investigation. After this person's family received the compensation, the family disappeared. After further investigation, I found that the family lived with Wang Biao in Gejia Village in a neighboring city."
In just a few sentences, Luo Wanqing's thoughts had been shattered and then spliced back together.
If what Lin Han said is true, then this person must be a key figure in advancing the truth.
"Let's make some arrangements. I want to go to Gejiacun in person."
"I will go with you!"
Almost instantly, Luo Wanqing pushed open the door.
There were still traces of rain hanging on the ends of her hair, her eyes were firm and tough, and her gritted teeth made her feel a little distressed for no reason.
She was shaking invisibly, and her fingertips immediately clenched into the palm of her hand.
His chest was shaking violently, and he took a deep breath to calm down his emotions.
Luo Wanqing's words became more and more forceful.
"I'm going--!"
The mountain road is not easy to walk, let alone it is raining now.
On a sticky rainy day, in a damp and cold carriage, Gu Lanchen looked sideways
Luo Wanqing's mouth tightened and she didn't know what she was looking at.
He quietly covered the back of the little girl's hand with his big hand and found that Luo Wanqing's fingertips were already cold.
"Turn the air conditioner down."
"Need not."
Luo Wanqing spoke.
Under the chaotic thoughts, the air conditioner can make Luo Wanqing calm.
She retracted her entire little hand into Gu Lanchen's palm.
"That's good. It won't be cold anymore."
The mountain road is so rugged that the car can no longer go up the mountain halfway through.
In desperation, the three of them had to get out of the car.
The merciless rain continued unabated, Gu Lanchen held up an umbrella and tilted most of it towards Luo Wanqing.
Slippery soil kept falling under his feet. Passing by a small pavilion, Gu Lanchen grabbed the person in front of him.
"It's too dangerous to walk up the mountain now. It's better to wait for the rain to subside."
Their eyes met for almost an instant, and Gu Lan felt a lump in his throat.
After spending hundreds of days and nights together, he had never seen Luo Wanqing like this.
The little girl's eyes were already red, her lips were biting tightly, and there was even a trace of blood oozing out.
Her wrists were shaking so badly, it was as if her whole body was stretched like a string, and if she made the slightest mistake, it would snap in an instant.
Especially the sadness in her eyes was like a turbulent wave... The left side of her chest hurt as if it had been crushed.
"Then walk slowly."
Gu Lanshen had no way of empathizing with him, so he could only put himself in his shoes as much as possible.
He released his big hand that was holding the little girl's wrist and spoke softly.
"be safe."
"good."
The girl's throat was as hoarse as a withered vine.
The three of them climbed to the top, it was almost evening.
Luo Wanqing followed Lin Han step by step, with every foot stuck in the mud.
She had no time to look around, and her head was pressed so that it was difficult to see her emotions.
To say it's rural here is an understatement.
At first glance, the mountains and plains were full of trees. Luo Wanqing followed Lin Han and walked around in the deep mountains and old forests for a long time before stopping at the entrance of a small courtyard.
"Is it here?"
Luo Wanqing slowly raised his eyes, and there was a cold feeling under his long eyelashes.
"yes."
Gently raising his hand, Luo Wanqing knocked a few times.
"Is anyone home?"
No one responded.
She knocked a few times and asked, "Is there anyone there?"
The air was too quiet, except for the breathing of a few people, there was no sound.
