The butler respectfully said, “Miss is in the study.”
Huo Sicheng’s slender eyes were dark and profound, and his whole being exuded a chill that kept others at bay.
He took out his phone and dialed Gu Qingcheng’s number again.
The system’s voice announced that Gu Qingcheng’s phone was switched off, and a trace of bitter pain crossed his eyes.
His hand drooped, as did his gaze upon Gu Qingcheng’s phone number, feeling a heart-wrenching pain that made it hard to breathe.
His slender fingers tapped on the phone, bringing up the GPS again. He was eager to know where Gu Qingcheng was, but he restrained himself.
In his view, the appearance of WeChat prompted him to open it. There was only Gu Qingcheng on his WeChat.
The WeChat avatar was still the one Gu Qingcheng had set for him and never changed. The last message in WeChat was from a long time ago, sent by her, and he had not replied.
He didn’t like using these apps. To him, wanting to see Gu Qingcheng meant going to her in person.
Today, he longed for her but couldn’t be by her side.
He gently touched the phone screen with his slender fingertips, typing a bunch of words. As he was about to send them, he hesitated and then deleted them one by one.
Finally, he typed five words.
[I miss you, very much.]
He pressed the send button, sending the message to Gu Qingcheng.
At that moment, he desperately hoped Gu Qingcheng would reply instantly, even if it was to scold him. He was eager for any response from her.
But his message was like a stone sunk into the sea, with no reply from Gu Qingcheng.
Bitterness and self-reproach filled his eyes. Finally, he turned off his phone and took a deep breath before striding into the castle.
Meanwhile, in Jiang City, Gu Qingcheng’s slender eyelashes fluttered slightly as she opened her eyes.
Cold.
She felt bone-chilling coldness, her teeth chattering, her eyes warily scanning her surroundings.
The room was empty, with only a vent emitting cold air, explaining the room’s frigidity.
In the small, windowless dark room, a small lamp in the corner emitted a faint lignt, allovvmg ner to see ner surroundings. Next to tne lamp was a camera with a small red light, indicating she was being monitored.
She rubbed her arms, which were covered in goosebumps from the cold. Although it didn’t warm her up, it made her feel a bit better.
She had no memory of being kidnapped.
In her previous life, she had been hospitalized from the Peach Lotus Cup onwards, busy with her career, then had a car accident. Later, she was deceived by Qin Jun and Gu Tianhao, who took away the inheritance left by her grandfather.
After Gu Tianhao and Qin Jun took her inheritance, she became useless and was then involved in a car accident orchestrated by Gu Mei and Qin Jun. In the end, she died in an explosion, jumping off a cliff with a bomb.
That was her death in her previous life, so many events in this life were completely new to her.
But even without experiencing kidnapping before, she knew who had done this.
Gu Mei and Chu He. Besides them, no one else would dare do this to her.
After all, Qin Chong was under Huo Sicheng’s control. If Qin Chong dared to touch her, Huo Sicheng would kill him.
As for Gu Tianhao, it was even less likely. He was in a coma every day, and she had arranged for people to guard him; he couldn’t possibly have the ability to kidnap her.
“Gu Mei, there’s no need to kidnap me,” she said to the camera. “If you want to kill me, just do it. There’s no need to waste time locking me up here.”
At the other end of the camera, in another room, Chu He and Gu Mei watched Gu Qingcheng with venomous expressions.
“Why did you kidnap her?” Chu He asked Gu Mei. “We might as well kill her as Gu Qingcheng said! As long as that bitch Gu Qingcheng is alive, it’s bad for both of us.”
Gu Mei stared at Gu Qingcheng on the screen.
“Bitch!” she cursed through gritted teeth. “She’s still defiant even on the brink of death!”
“Do you not know what kind of person Gu Qingcheng is?” Chu He’s eyes filled with loathing as she looked at Gu Qingcheng. “This bitch fears neither heaven nor earth. Even in death, she would dare to stab us. Such a person can’t be allowed to live; we must kill her immediately.”
“I do want to kill her,” Gu Mei said, her teeth grinding. “But this bitch Gu
Qingcheng can’t die yet.”
“Not dead yet?” Chu He frowned at Gu Mei. “Then why did you kidnap Gu
Qingcheng here? Not to kill or torture her, just to lock her up? Are you full?
Doing something so risky without killing Gu Qingcheng?”
Gu Mei rolled her eyes and looked at Chu He, “Mom, don’t meddle in this. I have a purpose for capturing Gu Qingcheng. And if you hadn’t insisted on knowing where I was going, I wouldn’t have brought you here to see Gu Qingcheng.”
“You’re always out, and you should know how worried I am about you,” Chu He said to Gu Mei. “Gu Tianhao’s life and death are uncertain, and he’s controlled by Gu Qingcheng in the hospital. I can’t even get close to him. Gu Corporation has also been taken over by Gu Qingcheng. The fact that Gu Qingcheng hasn’t driven us out yet is already merciful. If something happens to you, mom will have nothing left. Is it wrong for me to care about what you do every day?
“I’m not saying you’re wrong, mom. Why do you say that about me?” Gu Mei looked impatiently and unhappily at Chu He. “I’m busy with my things, hoping you won’t have to worry about me. Moreover, I’ve been harmed by Gu Qingcheng. Can she harm me again? Whatever I do, I’m aware and prepared not to be hurt again. Your concern is not wrong, but it’s unnecessary.”
Hearing Gu Mei’s words, Chu He angrily reproached, “You think you know everything? What can you possibly know? Now, in Jiang City and the Gu family, everything is controlled by Gu Qingcheng. You and I should keep a low profile.
It’s better to live with our tails between our legs than to die.”
“Why should I live with my tail between my legs? I am Gu Mei, Jiang City’s number one beauty, the young lady of the Gu family, a socialite from a wealthy family,” Gu Mei said arrogantly. “I must live a brilliant life, becoming the object of flattery for everyone in Jiang City! Just because Qin Chong says to keep a low profile doesn’t mean I have to.”
“Little Mei, no one is backing us up anymore,” Chu He tried to persuade Gu Mei. “Don’t get into trouble. If something happens, it’s not just you who will die; mom will die too. You’re carrying the lives of both of us on your shoulders.”
“Mom, you’re really nagging and talkative,” Gu Mei said impatiently. “I have a purpose for capturing Gu Qingcheng. Do you think I could easily capture her by myself? I’m not that foolish to capture Gu Qingcheng without certainty.”
Hearing this, Chu He looked at Gu Mei in shock and asked, “What do you mean by that? Did you find a big shot, someone powerful backing you up?”
