In the hotel, Lu Shiqian tidied up for a while and then left the room.
He knew that Gu Nian had not eaten well all day, and he was worried that she would be hungry at night, so he was standing at Gu Nian's door, planning to ask her to go downstairs to eat something.
After ringing the doorbell for a long time, there was still no movement in the room.
Did he fall asleep?
Lu Shiqian took out his cell phone, glanced at the time, and dialed Gu Nian's number.
After a while, he put the phone away from his ear with a dark face and called the waiter to open the door.
Niannian's cell phone never turns off when she sleeps. Could something have happened?
He continued to knock on the door, feeling increasingly uneasy.
Not long after, the waiter came over and opened the door with the room card.
What made him panic was that there was no one inside.
"Niannian——"
Lu Shiqian couldn't care about anything and rushed out of the hotel, searching around without any clue.
He couldn't imagine what he would do if something happened to Niannian!
He just ran out of the hotel and happened to see Gu Nian and a woman walking side by side.
Strange woman?
His face turned cold, and he stepped forward and pulled Gu Nian behind him.
"Who are you?"
His sudden movements and cold questioning simply startled Gu Nian.
Gu Nian looked at the expression on the man's face and realized that he must have misunderstood.
"What are you doing?!" She reached out and pulled Lu Shiqian, "I went out to buy something and got lost. They kindly brought me back. Don't scare them!"
Then, she looked at Yan Wei apologetically, "I'm sorry, he was too worried about me, didn't he scare you?"
Yan Wei clearly saw Lu Shiqian's nervous expression and smiled awkwardly.
"It's okay, I'm not scared that easily."
"I really envy you."
She sighed, "Your boyfriend is so nervous about you."
Gu Nian looked at the expression on her face, glanced at the man next to her, and waved her hand quickly, "No...don't get me wrong, he and I are not the kind of relationship you think."
Yan Wei could tell at a glance that the two of them were having trouble, so she raised her eyebrows and gave her an 'I understand' look.
Lu Shiqian felt a little embarrassed after hearing the explanation, and returned to his usual indifferent and distant appearance, saying to Yan Wei, "I didn't know she was out, so I thought something happened."
Yan Wei smiled lightly, "Yes, I understand."
"Then thank you for sending her back, we will go in first."
Since Yan Wei also stayed in this hotel and came back together, there was nothing to worry about.
"Thanks to you tonight." Gu Nian waved to her, "It's very late, you should go upstairs and rest quickly."
"Well, you go in first."
Gu Nian nodded, and after saying goodbye to her, Lu Shiqian pulled him towards the restaurant on the first floor, "Let's go and eat less, otherwise my stomach won't be able to bear it if I'm hungry in the middle of the night."
"All right."
Gu Nian was indeed a little hungry this time, so she let him pull her.
Halfway through, she accidentally turned her head and saw Yan Wei being pulled away by a man.
Gu Nian frowned and thought about it carefully.
Just now Yan Wei didn't seem to say that she came alone...then maybe that man was her friend.
She turned around, suppressed the weird feeling in her heart, and didn't care anymore.
…
In the restaurant, they both just drank some porridge and left. On the way upstairs, Lu Shiqian asked her about her shopping trip.
Speaking of this, Gu Nian felt a little unreasonable and whispered, "I thought I would be back soon..."
She thinks the main reason is because the houses here all have their own unique styles, so they all look similar, so people who are unfamiliar with them will naturally recognize them.
Lu Shiqian didn't hold on to it all the time and sighed.
"Be sure to tell me next time."
"good."
"I don't worry about you going out alone so late. Even if I fall asleep, you must wake me up."
When Gu Nian heard what he said, she felt a little touched in her heart, but she still pretended to be indifferent and muttered in a low voice: "I don't go out so late every time..."
Lu Shiqian couldn't help but laugh when he heard her aggrieved tone, and reached out to tap her forehead.
"Go back and rest quickly. You have to get up early tomorrow morning to find Duan Liya. You have to be energetic."
"I know." Gu Nian opened the door, hesitated for a moment, then turned his head and said quickly: "You should go to bed quickly."
Before he finished speaking, the door was closed first.
Lu Shiqian smiled and shook his head, pushed the door open and entered his room.
…
Early the next morning, Gu Nian got up on time.
She sighed that she was in good health and had no adverse physical reactions to the plateau, which should be a good thing for the next actions.
Lu Shiqian ordered breakfast early, and she went downstairs to eat with him.
"We will drive directly to the foot of the mountain to meet them later. Officer Zhou and the others have already passed ahead."
"good."
Gu Nian glanced at it, quickly took two bites of the buns, drank the soy milk and stood up, "Let's go, let's not make people wait too long."
Lu Shiqian frowned, "Are you full?"
"Well, I'm full."
Seeing her firm eyes, Lu Shiqian glanced at the dinner plate and saw that she had indeed eaten something, so he didn't say anything more. After getting in the car, he turned on the car navigation and headed towards Qil Mountain.
Qil Mountain is not very high, but it is famous locally for its complex terrain. From a combat perspective, it is a typical example of being easy to defend but difficult to attack.
How could Duan Liya suddenly arrive in such a place?
When the car stopped at the foot of the mountain, a cordon had been cordoned around the area. Countless police cars were lined up and the police were ready to go.
As soon as Lu Shiqian and Gu Nian got out of the car, Officer Zhou came over to greet them.
"Mr. Lu, you can just get into our command vehicle."
Although their place is remote, the equipment they should have is quite complete.
Lu Shiqian nodded, and his calm and calm look made the police around him look at him, secretly guessing the identity of this foreign aid.
Gu Nian also followed.
"Our captain has personally led people up the mountain. There is no news yet."
As soon as Lu Shiqian got on the command vehicle, the original technician gave up a position. He glanced at the screen and asked, "Is this Duan Liya's current position?"
"Yes."
Officer Zhou nodded, and thoughtfully pulled another chair from the side, gesturing for Gu Nian to sit on it, "For the sake of caution, our people move very carefully."
If the enemy is alerted and the opponent runs again, it will not be so easy to chase him.
Lu Shiqian said no more, his dark eyes kept looking at the screen.
He felt a little strange.
Duan Liya's position has not moved at all since she came in just now.
Gu Nian became increasingly nervous. Although Duan Liya was not very smart, it did not mean that she had no one else to help her.
She always felt that things might not go so well.
Gu Nian looked at the motionless red dot on the computer screen and noticed something was wrong.
After a while, the police from outside hurried in, leaned over and said a few words in Officer Zhou's ear.
"What?!"
His face suddenly looked unhappy, "I know."
As soon as the police officer who reported the report left, Gu Nian couldn't wait to ask: "What happened?"
