On the private island, the three children lived quite happily. The sunshine, beach, and grass allowed them to run and explore to their heart's content. Because Lingyan told them that their daddy would definitely come back, the three little guys believed it.
Now, I won’t keep asking Ling Yan every day when daddy will come back.
Children's hearts are clean and pure, and they can quickly get out of sadness, but Lingyan cannot get out. Her heart is not good for a moment.
The cell phone next to the table rang. Ling Yan glanced at the call, trembled, and immediately answered: "Haitang, where are you? Something happened to Xi Chen, did you know?"
"Miss Ling, I know." Haitang's sad voice came: "I regret not accompanying him on the boat back. If I had been by his side... maybe I wouldn't have."
Haitang's low sobs made Ling Yan's heart even more painful.
"Miss Ling, where are you and the children? I just went back to the company and found that the atmosphere in the company has changed. Gu Tiancheng took the position of the boss. He also transferred his daughter and son back to the headquarters. I just went to the company,
People before looked at me very unkindly." Haitang's tone was full of surprise.
Ling Yan burst into tears, took a breath, and then answered her: "I suspect that Xi Chen's death has something to do with Gu Tiancheng. Maybe he has been eyeing this position for a long time and deliberately framed Xi Chen."
Haitang pretended to be surprised: "This old guy has such a bad heart? I really didn't see it before."
"Yes, his son... he teased me two days ago and told me to follow him quickly." Ling Yan was full of grievances and sorrows, and she couldn't express them. Only Haitang could make her open her heart.
"What?" Haitang was extremely angry after hearing this. Does that bastard Gu Jie think he has a long life?
How dare you take the opportunity to tease Miss Ling, it's really disgusting and shameless.
"Haitang, I shouldn't have said such a shameful thing. Where are you? Can we meet at noon?" Ling Yan urgently wants to see Haitang, because Haitang, like Gu Xichen, can bring Ling Yan safety.
feel.
"I still have some urgent matters to deal with. How about we make an appointment in the afternoon." Haitang really has something to do and can't leave.
"Okay, let's make an appointment in the afternoon." Ling Yan nodded.
Piaopiao is now helping Lingyan take care of the children full-time, because Mu Xiuhan told her to do so.
At around three o'clock in the afternoon, Ling Yan told Piaopiao that she might have to come back very late in the evening and asked her to take care of her three children for dinner.
Piaopiao immediately said to her: "Miss Ling, if it's too late, don't come back. Just go back to your and Mr. Gu's home for one night. I'm sure you want to go back to that home."
Ling Yan's eyes became sore after hearing this.
Yes, she really wanted to go back. That home had his breath and traces of his life.
"Okay, I'll tell the children and ask them to be obedient." Ling Yan looked at Piaopiao gratefully, then walked to the grass and told the three children about this matter. The three little guys didn't react at all.
He didn't want to go home with her, because it was a carefree place with everything. Mu Xiuhan also built a large amusement park in the back garden, which was enough for three children to play wildly.
Ling Yan took the yacht out of the island with peace of mind. A black car was waiting for her at the pier.
"Ms. Ling, do you want to drive yourself, or should we drive for you?" the bodyguard asked politely.
"Give me the car keys and I'll drive myself." Ling Yan didn't like it and kept bothering the people arranged by Mu Xiuhan, so she drove away by herself.
She and Haitang made an appointment at a restaurant next to the Gu Group. Ling Yan came earlier. Wearing a mask and a cap, she went to the cafe on the street directly opposite the Gu Group. Sitting in front of the glass window, she could see the entire Gu Group.
The three buildings of the Group are close together. Although they are not as high as the sky, they are as stable as a pyramid, just like Gu Xichen's character.
Ling Yan looked at these three buildings, and the sadness in her heart could no longer be suppressed.
Tears stained her face. She quickly lowered her head and took a sip of coffee. The bitter taste lingered on her lips and tongue. She didn't understand why Gu Xichen liked to drink sugar-free coffee before. Now, she relished the taste he loved before.
But I found that it tasted so bitter.
Although it was very bitter, Lingyan still drank a few more sips. She was very confused now and liked to pick up his preferences bit by bit. She believed that the longer time passed, the more she would live like him.
At around 5:30, Haitang called her, and Ling Yan rushed to the restaurant and walked into the box. The two finally met.
Haitang tanned a lot and lost weight. Ling Yan looked at it and felt very distressed.
"Haitang, have you been looking for him in the sea?" Ling Yan asked sadly.
Haitang looked at her dark complexion. It was indeed from being exposed to the sun on the sea. She lost weight. It was because she was busy with acting during this period, she was exhausted mentally and physically, and she ate less food, so she lost weight.
Haitang looked at Ling Yan, she looked haggard, and she felt very distressed.
"Miss Ling, please stop crying. The boss definitely doesn't want you to be so sad every day." Haitang comforted her.
In fact, Haitang was an insider. She knew that the boss was not dead, and she also knew that he was looking for evidence behind his back. But Lingyan didn't know, and Haitang couldn't tell her, for fear that the plan would be ruined, and the boss's fake death would be meaningless.
Not only that, Gu Tiancheng might bite him back, with unpredictable consequences.
"Well, I'm fine." Ling Yan didn't want to cry anymore and showed her strong side: "Haitang, you didn't find him, did you?"
Haitang was startled for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, no, because it was night and the fog on the sea was very heavy, so the search was difficult at first, but we still didn't give up. We have been searching for several days, but we still haven't found him.
.”
"Do you think it's possible that he... is still alive? Was he rescued by a passing ship?" Ling Yan's eyes shone brightly, how she wished it was this possibility.
Haitang nodded: "It's not impossible, Miss Ling, let's just wait. Maybe one day, he will come back."
Ling Yan lowered her head and hummed, and then Haitang went to order. Ling Yan sat in a daze.
From the window of the restaurant, you could still see the Gu Group building on one side, and Ling Yan felt pain in her heart again.
Haitang was still comforting her regardless.
"Do you think he may have lost his memory? He hit his head while escaping." Ling Yan was still thinking about what might have happened.
Haitang almost couldn't hold back and wanted to laugh, but how could she dare to laugh, so she had to lower her head and pretend to be sad: "This is also possible, the brain is injured, and amnesia is normal. I believe the boss must have saved himself. We didn't
If we find him, it's possible that he really has lost his memory."
Ling Yan closed her eyes and showed a sad expression: "Then should we publish a missing person notice? Post it globally so that everyone can see it."
"Miss Ling, I know you are sad and want to find the boss, but right now, we still have a difficulty to face." Haitang had to remind her seriously: "That's Gu Tiancheng. I went to the company and what I heard
The news is that Gu Tiancheng said that the boss is on leave for a year, and he does not want the news of the boss's accident to be spread. Miss Ling, you have three children now, and you are no match for Gu Tiancheng. I think you should put the overall situation first."
Ling Yan froze suddenly and her brain came to her senses. Gu Tiancheng had indeed warned her.
Ling Yan closed her eyes and murmured to herself: "Aren't you going to look for me? What if he loses his memory and doesn't know who he is, will he be afraid? Will anyone bully him?"
When Haitang heard this, she wanted to laugh again. With the boss's violent character, who could bully him? Besides, he was very skilled.
"Miss Ling, if the boss just loses his memory, he won't be bullied. Have you forgotten that he is very skilled?" Haitang comforted her a few more words.
Ling Yan smiled bitterly: "I have been dreaming a lot lately, dreaming that he is back and waiting for us on the sofa at home."
Haitang looked at her distressedly, not knowing how to comfort her.
"Haitang, I won't go back to the island tonight. I have a friend who will help me take care of the child. I want... to drink. Is there any place where I can have a drink?" Ling Yan looked at Haitang sadly.
Ask her in a low voice.
"Would you like to go home and drink?" Haitang said immediately.
"No, I don't want to go back to that empty home. I can't stand it if I stay there." Ling Yan shook her head: "I want to go to a place with a lot of people, a lively place, even a bar, but I can't stand the loneliness and...
Cool."
Haitang was stunned. It seemed that Miss Ling was really seriously injured.
It's okay to go to the bar. How about she report it to the boss first?
Haitang picked up the phone and said to Ling Yan: "I suddenly remembered an important call and I want to reply to it."
"Okay." Ling Yan nodded.
Haitang came out, and then she quickly sent a text message using encrypted software.
"Boss, Miss Ling is in a bad mood. She said she wanted to go to the bar for a drink, so I decided to go with her."
"Address." The other party quickly replied with two words.
Haitang thought for a while and decided to take Ling Yan to a bar she was familiar with and sent the address. "I'll be over." The other party replied quickly.
Haitang raised the corner of her mouth. It seemed that she had to get Miss Ling drunk. Otherwise, how could the boss reunite with her?
After paying the bill and walking out of the restaurant, Haitang asked Ling Yan to leave in her car, and she took her directly to a place called Charming Bar.
Haitang parked the car and stepped in with Ling Yan.
This bar is a high-end bar. The people who come here to spend money are all elites. The atmosphere is also very good. It is not too noisy and not too quiet. There is a group of young men and women dancing on the dance floor. The music is very exciting and shaking.
The human eardrum will make people relax temporarily.
"Miss Ling, I've booked a private room here." Haitang immediately said to Ling Yan.
Ling Yan suddenly didn't want to leave. She pointed to the booth next to her: "Haitang, can you sit here? I don't want to go to the box."
Haitang was stunned. Ling Yan was already sitting in that seat. Although she was in a busy bar, her expression was dull, as if she was out of place here.
"Haitang, go and get some bottles of wine. I can drink both red and white wines." Ling Yan sat back on the chair, her mind empty for a moment. She looked at the men and women on the dance floor. Their faces were full of smiles.
Full of smiles and contentment with life.
Haitang originally wanted to call her to the box to drink. After she got drunk, she could ask the boss to go into the box to stay with her for a while, but now...
Haitang had no choice but to take advantage of the moment when she went to get the wine and sent a text message to Gu Xichen: "Boss, you go to the box first. Miss Ling wants to drink in the booth. When she gets drunk, I will bring her up."
"Okay!" came the short reply.
Haitang ordered the best red wine and foreign wine, and ordered two cocktails.
She knew that Ling Yan was in a bad mood and needed alcohol to anesthetize her, so she decided to accompany her tonight and let her get drunk.
"Ms. Ling, cocktails are a specialty here. The bartender specially uses them to heal people's injuries. You pay for it." Haitang brought a glass of colorful wine to Ling Yan.
Ling Yan didn't hear clearly what Haitang said. She just picked up the cup, closed her eyes, and drank it all in one breath. However, when she endured the pungent taste of the wine, tears fell from the corners of her eyes.
"Give me another drink..." Ling Yan discovered that although the wine was spicy, it could stimulate her brain and make her less painful.
Haitang had no choice but to give her the other cup, and then advised her in a low voice: "Drink slowly, don't drink too fast, you will get drunk easily."
Ling Yan smiled bitterly and shook her head: "I just wanted to get drunk, and in the end I was so drunk that I couldn't wake up."
Haitang sighed lowly. At this moment, two people came in at the door. Both men were tall and in good shape. They were wearing peaked caps and black masks. After the two people came in, they walked directly from the stairs next to them.
Go up.
However, the leader paused when he reached halfway up the stairs.
Through the low brim of his hat, you can see his deep eyes. At this moment, he is looking straight in the direction of the booth.
Looking at the woman holding the bar, she kept putting it into her mouth. The wine was obviously very hard to drink, but she seemed to be deliberately trying to get drunk. She frowned, but she still kept drinking.
"Fool..." Gu Xichen felt so distressed that he cursed in a low voice and wanted to go down and grab her wine glass. But when he stepped down two stairs, he found that he could not appear in front of her yet.
So, he had no choice but to suppress the feeling of pity, freeze his steps, and continue to go upstairs.
Haitang looked at the door from time to time, and did not miss the two people who came in just now. She felt relieved, the boss and Yuan Feng were both here, so tonight, let Miss Ling have a good time with the boss in her drunken dream.
"Haitang, why is this wine tasteless? I won't drink this... I'll find something else." Haitang pushed the glass of red wine away. She just wanted to torture herself now. She didn't want anything sweet.
Haitang immediately brought her another cocktail: "Miss Ling, are you drunk?"
"I'm not...I'm still sober, I'm not drunk, and I still want to drink." Ling Yan was obviously drunk, but she found that she was still in pain, so she felt that she was not drunk.
Haitang sat next to her and said loudly: "Miss Ling, drinking is harmful to your health, so you'd better stop drinking."
"I have no problem, leave me alone, Haitang, thank you for being willing to accompany me...thank you." Ling Yan said, picking up the wine glass again, and this time, she still frowned and poured it into her mouth desperately.
Haitang glanced at the second floor anxiously and found that in the corridor on the second floor, the boss was holding his arms and looking straight at it.
