Chapter 578 - Unable to Confront (1/2)
Gu Changle reacted quickly. No sooner had she seen the man take off his mask than she asked him in reply, “Why me?”
The man smiled, satirizing, “I changed my mind so that Miss Miaomiao and Childe Gu Yi can return safe and sound. You didn’t expect to see me here, did you? Miss Gu?”
Gu Changle furrowed her brow.
She did feel surprised.
As for her, it was a bombsh.e.l.l.
The man accepted her money and promised to eliminate Gu Yi and Miaomiao.
But why did he turn against her?
“Do you still remember my name, Miss Gu?”
The man asked Gu Changle provocatively, smirking at her disturbingly.
Gu Changle frowned, replying, “I’ve never met you before. How can I know your name?”
Hearing that, the man clucked, “You are really heartless. We had such a nice talk, but you pretend not to know me now.”
Gu Changle gnashed her teeth.
She itched to rip the man to pieces.
She had never expected that he would betray her.
Seeing that the man who brought Gu Yi and Miaomiao back talked with Gu Changle like this, Shao Tianze frowned and asked Gu Changle, “What’s all this about?”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s question, Gu Changle replied immediately, “Tianze, I don’t know him.”
Shao Tianze trusted Gu Changle, so he stared stonily at that strange man who was talking to Gu Changle after getting her reply, “Though I’m grateful that you brought my children back, please watch your mouth.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s warning, the man replied, “Mr. Shao, no matter what, I’ve brought back your children. But it’s just a beginning. Such things will happen for the second time. If you don’t understand, your children will probably be in danger again. That’s all I can say.”
With this, the man prepared to get in his car.
But his words roused Shao Tianze’s suspicions. He looked at Gu Changle in disbelief for a few seconds.
Gu Changle wanted the man to get in his car and leave as soon as possible. However, Shao Tianze strode over just as the man’s car was about to start. He smacked the car window and said to that man, “Get off. Let’s sort things out.”
Hearing Shao Tianze’s voice, the man turned to look at Gu Changle subconsciously.
Seeing that, Shao Tianze hesitated for a moment and then said to Gu Changle, “Go back to your room with Ding Ali. I’ll be back soon.”
Hearing that, the man opened the car door and motioned Shao Tianze to talk in the car.
Fearing that the man might say something against her, Gu Changle stepped forward and grabbed Shao Tianze’s coat, saying worriedly, “He is an evil man. Don’t get in his car.”
Hearing that, the man in the car sneered and asked Gu Changle in reply, “Since you glibly said that you didn’t know me, how can you know that I’m an evil person?”
His words dumbfounded Gu Changle.
Shao Tianze lowered his eyes and gently freed himself from Gu Changle. Then he held Miaomiao in his arms and said to Gu Yi, “Come with me, Yi.”
Gu Yi lowered his eyes and got into the car with Shao Tianze.
Behind the car was the bodyguards’ car.
After Shao Tianze got in, the man started the car, greeting Shao Tianze, “I’m Zhang Lei, Mr. Shao.”
Shao Tianze nodded, asking him, “Tell me, who kidnapped my kids?”
Hearing that Shao Tianze got straight to the point, Zhang Lei felt a bit embarra.s.sed, replying, “I can’t give a definite answer to the question.”
Shao Tianze said, “Name your price.”
Though Shao Tianze was being generous, the man hesitated and declined, “Mr. Shao, it’s not about money. If I had wanted money, I wouldn’t have brought your kids back. I betrayed my gang to send your kids back. Do you know how risky this is?”
“I know.” Shao Tianze was clear about that.
If the kidnappers who abducted Gu Yi and Miaomiao had wanted money, they would have coerced the Shao Family into paying them a b.u.t.t load of money. It might even be astronomical.
In that way, not only could the kidnappers get so much money, but Zhang Lei could also get a share.
Now that he had brought Gu Yi and Miaomiao back, it was impossible for Zhang Lei to ask him for money.
Hearing that, Zhang Lei continued, “Actually, I was really worried about your children. Besides, I have received many kindnesses from Miss Gu Changge. Thus I want to protect the kids left by her.”
With this, Zhang Lei couldn’t help sighing.
Shao Tianze narrowed his eyes on hearing Zhang Lei’s words.
Gu Changge did a lot of things while she was alive, and she did give many people kindnesses.
Just because of this, many people still remembered Gu Changge after she died.
Some even wanted to return the favor.
But who would have thought that Shao Tianze was the one who killed Gu Changge?
Seeing that Shao Tianze remained silent, Zhang Lei continued, “I don’t know how you think. Since Miss Miaomiao and Childe Gu Yi are Miss Gu’s targets, why did you bring them back?”
