Chapter 421 Shattered dreams
Gu Yan felt better gradually. Qi Changfeng then took her into his car and turned back to the two men. He felt that they had premeditated instead of committing the crime randomly today.
He was right. He found a small video camera from them. There was no doubt that they came for Gu Yan.
Considering the danger today, he sent Gu Yan home.
She didn’t completely recover from fear when she returned home. Everyone would be frightened more or less when confronting such danger, let alone a weak lady.
Looking at the panicked woman, Qi Changfeng had an even stronger desire to protect her.
“Lie down and have a rest. I’ll be right outside. Call me if you need help.” He whispered, as if talking loudly would make her uncomfortable.
Saying nothing, Gu Yan just allowed him to help her onto the bed and put the quilt on. For her, rest was the most important now.
She was frightened. When she closed her eyes, the scene just appeared in her mind. She couldn’t fall asleep at all. What she could do was just to lie on the bed quietly and try to get rid of the horrible memory.
Qi Changfeng just waited in the living room in case Gu Yan needed any help.
Meanwhile, in the most luxurious hotel in Lin’an City, a woman was enjoying a rose petal bath, holding a goblet with her slender fingers. This woman was exactly Chen Qian who had run away from home.
She didn’t go anywhere after running out of her home, but waited for information at the hotel. She was pretty casual. Her family’s company was about to go bankrupt, while she was still enjoying in the hotel.
Maybe she felt that her plan was perfect, so she had nothing to fear.
“Gu Yan, you can never escape this time. How couldn’t you understand that Mo Yichen and you are from different worlds! Well, since you insisted on bothering him, I will teach you a lesson.” Then, she drank all the wine in her goblet.
Chen Huiqiang, who was at home, didn’t know Chen Qian’s whereabouts, and couldn’t contact her for a while. He only hoped that she could find Mo Yichen and explain everything to him. Then there might be a chance to tide Chen’s family over this crisis. Now he could do nothing but stay at home anxiously.
The night passed quickly. However, many people didn’t fall asleep.
Gu Yan was awake the whole night, and so was Qi Changfeng.
She got up early in the morning. When Qi Changfeng heard the noise in the room, all his tiredness seemed to fly away. The power of love was extremely strong at this moment.
He looked at her haggard face and knew at once that she didn’t sleep well last night.
“Good morning.” He said when he saw Gu Yan walking out of her room.
She was moved deeply when she saw Qi Changfeng. Although she had known his affection for her, she was still touched when she woke up this morning.
His affection could easily be told from his company without sleep last night, not to mention that he had helped her out of danger.
“Morning.” Gu Yan nodded slightly. “Thanks for your help yesterday. If it were not for you, I couldn’t imagine what would happen.”
Qi Changfeng didn’t consider it as a favor. Gu Yan was his beloved woman. He would help her in any case.
“It’s okay. I’m glad you’re all right.” After saying this, both of them, embarrassed, didn’t know what to say next.
To relieve the embarrassment, Gu Yan said: “You’ve been tired all night. I’ll prepare breakfast for you. Just rest for a while. It’s still early for work.” Then she turned to the kitchen.
Qi Changfeng looked at his watch and said: “No, don’t bother. You should take a good rest. Anyway, I must be going now. You don’t need to work today. You have got my approval. Just take a good rest at home. Call me if you need any help and I’ll be back right away.”
Before she could react, he opened the door and walked out.
Although Qi Changfeng was willing to try what Gu Yan made, he had more important things to do and had to refuse her this time.
After driving back to his office, he took out the phones and camera he found from the two people yesterday.
He didn’t know what they wanted, but when he found these things, he knew that they had premeditated the crime.
He turned on the camera but found nothing useful. Then he checked the phones and found nothing useful as well.
He was struggling to find clues when a phone rang at that moment. He paused for a while and realized that it was not his phone but one of the two men’s.
He picked up the phone and saw a text message which read “Have you done the thing?”
Seeing this, he instantly understood what had happened. He didn’t know whom the number belonged to, so he immediately asked people to investigate. That was easy for him.
Soon, he got the reply, “The number belongs to Chen Qian, daughter of Chen Huiqiang of Chen’s company.”
That name was not strange to Qi Changfeng. Li Yunhong introduced Chen Qian at Mo Xiangyan’s birthday party.
But she didn’t impress him. After all, even Mo Yichen was unwilling to admit that she was his fiancée.
After knowing that Chen Qian was behind the crime, he was relieved a lot.
He was in no mood for work now. He was more willing to stay with Gu Yan, as long as she asked for company.
“Enough is enough.” He paced in the office, trying to find a perfect solution to protect Gu Yan from danger.
Chen Qian didn’t receive any reply. She thought that they must have succeeded. She was pleased and was preening herself for Mo Yichen.
She heard from Chen Huiqiang that his company was about to go bankrupt. A little doubtful, she thought he had no reason to cheat her anyway.
