682 A Million Times for You 44 (2/2)

Was it considered a fortunate thing or not?

Tuoba Gucheng lightly touched the bedsheet by his face. It was akin to touching her face.

He closed his eyes and lay there quietly for a while before fishing his phone out and selecting her number on his display screen.

He did not make a call to her but clicked on the text message function instead.

Tuoba Gucheng sent a text to her that had only four words: ”I'm missing you already.”

He knew she would not reply.

And indeed, she didn't.

He could only wonder how she was doing before they were to actually meet in a few days.

—

Gu Dongcheng, who was overseas, received a call from a bodyguard claiming that Xu Youran had gone missing. He immediately berated the bodyguard before hurriedly taking a flight back.

Even after making a police report, he still did not find any clue about Xu Youran's whereabouts.

Gu Dongcheng did not sleep well the whole night, given that Xu Youran was pregnant and had gone missing for no reason.

An adult who was doing well and fine had suddenly just vanished into thin air. How could he not be startled?

He could vaguely guess who was behind this, but since he had no proof, he did not dare to just intrude and demand for Xu Youran.

There was no choice for him but to wait anxiously.

He was hoping the police would do an efficient job and find some clues.

But very evidently, he was about to be disappointed.

There were no leads on the investigation at all.

Gu Dongcheng was not in any mood to think about his work as he was in a huge mess.

Eventually, he could only seek help from DK organization.

But even then, his effort was futile too.

Gu Dongcheng was sent into a state of helplessness for a few days consecutively.

In the end, he could only take the risk of paying a visit to Jin Qingyan.

Upon seeing him, Jin Qingyan still asked the obvious, ”Mr. Gu, may I know what is the matter?”

”Mr. Jin, whatever it is that you want, as long as I can give it to you, I will. Don't make things hard for my wife, she's pregnant.”

He could no longer hold it in and just went straight to the point.

Jin Qingyan, on the other hand, appeared composed. ”Mr. Gu, I don't understand what you are saying. Why could I make things hard for your wife? You have no proof at all. Saying such things can make one understandably displeased.”

”Straightforward people shouldn't resort to making insinuations. Mr. Jin, if you dare to do it, why can't you own up to it?” Gu Dongcheng had originally felt that it was either Gu Beicheng or Jin Qingyan behind it. After further thought, he concluded that Gu Beicheng was someone who was used to collecting all the available evidence before delivering the fatal blow to his opponent. He did not seem like someone who would land a blow without being fully prepared. Moreover, considering what had happened to Mrs. Jin, the more Gu Dongcheng thought of it, the more he felt that it was Jin Qingyan.

Of course, he did not have evidence. It was just his pure speculation.

He had wanted to trap Jin Qingyan into revealing something, but he obviously failed as Jin Qingyan did not give away even a slight hint.

”What have I done that I need to own up to?” Jin Qingyan laughed coldly. ”Don't you know that you could be put to jail for slander?”

Gu Dongcheng turned speechless and clearly knew that it was pointless for him to have come. He then left angrily.

”Young Sir, he has already guessed that it's you.”

”If relying on pure speculation can put one in jail, what is evidence for?” Jin Qingyan sniggered. ”Who does he think he is? He even dares to come and question me.”

”Exactly.” Fan Shixin brought a set of clothes over. ”This is your suit for the wedding tomorrow. Young Sir, you should try it.”

”Just put it there, I have to go somewhere now.”

”Where are you going?”

He did not answer and took his car keys with him as he left.

Fan Shixin could vaguely make a guess, and the corner of his lips curled into a grin.
