Gu Shiyan remained silent as he looked at the brocade bag in his hand.
Su Muyan gritted his teeth and said, “I can help you bring down the Su family for revenge, but Su Mingsheng must be handed over to me.”
Gu Shiyan put the brocade bag back into his pocket and said calmly, “You don’t have the qualification to negotiate with me. If you want to stay alive, cooperate.”
Then, he turned to Tang Mochen and instructed, “Take him to the capital and hand him over to Old Master Fu.”
Tang Mochen gave him a thumbs-up, admiring the ingenious use of others to accomplish their goal.
By using the Su family to turn Su Muyan against them, Gu Shiyan planned to send Su Muyan to the Fu family. The Su family and the Fu family were both part of the four major clans in the capital and were bitter enemies. Su Muyan knew all about the shady dealings of the Su family behind the scenes. By delivering him to Old Master Fu, Gu Shiyan could not only save himself the trouble of dealing with the Su family but also gain some favor with the Fu family.
“Also, blindfold him, don’t let him see anything,” Gu Shiyan added. Tang Mochen was puzzled, “Why? What’s wrong with his eyes?”
Gu Shiyan glanced at his wristwatch and turned to leave without explaining.
“Hey, don’t rush off! You haven’t told me why,” Tang Mochen said, looking at the hurried departure of someone.
He must be in a hurry to see Lu Miao again.
Really, they had only been apart for two hours, and he couldn’t wait like this?
After leaving the club and getting into the car, Gu Shiyan dialed a number on his phone.
“Is the dinner over?” Lu Miao’s voice came through amidst the cheers.
“Not yet. Have you finished your business?” It seemed that what Gu Shiyan was dealing with wasn’t a minor matter, so it shouldn’t have been resolved so quickly.
“I’m coming to pick you up.” Gu Shiyan said.
Lu Miao looked at Shen Muchan, who was excitedly trying to climb onto the table in the private room, and raised his hand to his forehead. “No need, I don’t know when it’ll be over.”
“It’s alright, there’s still plenty of time. You guys take your time eating. Since it’s a student gathering, it’s not safe to go home alone at night. I’ll arrange some cars to pick you up when the dinner is over and take you home,” Gu Shiyan said warmly.
Lu Miao thought for a moment and nodded, “Alright then.”
Gu Shiyan indeed considered everything carefully.
These days, even taking a taxi was not trustworthy, as there were too many news reports about girls getting into trouble while riding in them. Especially the girls from his class, it was safer for them to be sent home by their own people.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Shiyan told the driver, “Go to Tianxiang Building.”
Then, he dialed another number and arranged several cars to go over.
When they arrived outside Tianxiang Building, the driver parked the car, and Gu Shiyan got out to ask the staff after which he settled the bill for their private room. Then, he went back to the car, closed his eyes, and leaned back in the back seat, waiting quietly.
A few minutes later, there were knocking sounds on the car window.
Gu Shiyan opened his eyes and saw Lu Miao standing outside. That was fast. He couldn’t help but curl his lips, then got up and opened the door.
Behind Lu Miao, Su MO and other classmates smiled and thanked Gu Shiyan loudly, “Thank you, Mr Gu.”
To be able to arrange transportation and pay the bill for them, this was a godlike boss.
Not at all like the terrifying rumors.
Only Shen Muhan stood there, blowing his nose and glaring at him in anger.
Gu Shiyan arranged the cars, and Su MO and her classmates waved goodbye to Lu Miao and Gu Shiyan, then cheerfully got into the cars.
Shen Muhan had the backbone to insist on taking a taxi himself.
After seeing everyone leave, Lu Miao finally got into the car. He smelled the faint scent of blood on Gu Shiyan and glanced at him. Seeing that he was not injured, Lu Miao didn’t ask further.
Gu Shiyan was about to speak when the phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He reached out, answered the call, and after hearing the news on the other end, he stiffened and remained silent for a while before speaking with an unpleasant expression.
“I understand, I’ll go there right away.”
After hanging up, he turned to the driver and said, “Go to the airport.” His face was grim, and Luo Miao had never seen him like this before. “What happened?”
Gu Shiyan pinched the fingertips of his phone, turning them white with pressure, and finally spoke hoarsely after a long pause.
“My people found information about my elder brother. He took a flight to Barcelona this morning. Just now, news came from the airport that the flight had an accident during the journey.”
He had only received the news at noon. Gu Zhixing had left in the morning on a plane.
He had already arranged for people to wait at the Barcelona airport. As soon as the plane landed, they would be able to contact him.
As soon as he finished speaking, the car radio broadcasted an emergency message about the plane accident.
The driver drove while fumbling to turn off the radio.
Luo Miao looked at Gu Shiyan’s distressed appearance and pursed his lips, unsure how to comfort him.
He had been searching for his elder brother for so many years, and finally there was news, but now…
Gu Shiyan looked down at the phone screen in his hand, and the car fell into silence.
The driver almost turned the car into an airplane on the way.
An hour later, the car stopped outside the airport.
The media and relatives of passengers who had received the news had already rushed to the scene. The hall was filled with the cries of families, questioning voices, and arguments with airport staff. The media reporters were busy interviewing everywhere.
Many passengers were stranded at the airport, and it was chaotic.
Gu Shiyan’s people had been waiting there, and when they saw him arrive, they quickly made way for him and took him directly to the airport manager’s office.
“Get the Shen family’s people to come and see me. Also, I want the flight information and the passenger manifest,” Gu Shiyan said with a stern face as he entered the office.
The airport manager didn’t dare to refuse; there was some connection between the Shen family and Gu Shiyan, which was why the Shen family could take control of this airport in Luo City.
He was just an employee, and Gu Shiyan was not someone he could afford to offend.
He immediately called a higher-level person and then went to his desk to take a tablet, opened the airport’s internal network, entered his authority password, retrieved the information, and handed it to Gu Shiyan.
As he looked at the passenger information on the screen, Gu Shiyan’s fingers holding the screen tightened.
As he pressed down, the passengers’ data and identities instantly appeared before his eyes.
As he slid his finger upwards gently, suddenly, among the mass of information, a familiar face appeared in front of him.
Gu Shiyan looked at the identity information, and his raised fingertips trembled slightly.
Gu Zhixing.
Zhixing, Zhixing.
When he was young, he went to the bank with his father once. He asked his father what that place was, and his father said it was a bank (Written as , pronounced as HANG in Chinese), and even taught him how to write the word
“bank. ”
After they returned, he remembered that “Xing” (also written as but pronounced as XING) in his brother’s name should be pronounced “hang” and kept correcting his elder brother, saying it was not “xing,” but “hang..”
