Chapter 711 Visiting dignitaries (1)
On the opposite side, Gu Qingning raised his head and looked at Qi Xuan with doubts.
As far as she knew, the eldest brother and the others didn't have any schedules for the Chinese New Year, and why did the eldest brother choose to go on a business trip at this time?
Qi Xuan didn't think much, and said directly, "He's not on a business trip, so he's going back to City A."
Gu Qingning's obsidian-like eyes slightly narrowed, a little puzzled, "Did brother say what to do in City A?"
Qi Xuan shook her head, "That's not what I said."
At the end, she added another sentence, "But he left in a hurry, so there must be something urgent."
Before the words finished, the phone in Gu Qingning's hand vibrated.
She looked down and saw that it was a message from Gu Che.
【Yao'er, I have something to do, I can't go to the dinner party at noon tomorrow. 】
Gu Qingning stared at the message sent by Gu Che for a while, a dark color flashed across his eyes.
The eldest brother hurried back to city A, and the second brother also had something to do temporarily, what a coincidence?
After thinking for a moment, she dug out the address book and called Gu Che.
Unexpectedly.
Gu Che's cell phone was turned off.
Gu Qingning called Gu Zhao without thinking, and it happened that he turned off the phone too.
Gu Qingning squeezed the phone tightly, raised her eyes lightly, her eyes fell on Qi Xuan's face, and asked calmly, "Qi Xuan, did my elder brother tell you what time he booked the plane ticket?"
Qi Xuan said, "Eight o'clock."
Facing Gu Qingning's gaze, she asked puzzledly, "Why are you asking this, what happened?"
Gu Qingning pulled her lips, her tone was still casual, "It's okay, just ask me."
Qi Xuan said "Oh", without thinking too much, and looked down at the design draft.
Gu Qingning withdrew his gaze, tapped the phone with his fingers, absent-minded.
After sitting for a while, she got up and went upstairs.
Others didn't notice her strangeness, thinking that she was going upstairs to find Fu Juncheng.
Backing to the room, Gu Qingning immediately picked up the computer, typing on the keyboard with thin white fingers, operating extremely fast.
After a moment, she paused her fingers, and her clear eyes were fixed on the computer screen.
The third brother flew back to city A in the early morning, and the eldest brother and the second brother took the same flight back to city A. Could something have happened?
Gu Qingning closed the computer, picked up the phone, and dialed Yao Cheng's number.
"Hey, Yao Cheng, do something for me, send someone to check if there has been any movement in the Gu family in the past two days."
On the other end of the phone, Yao Cheng had some doubts on his face, but he responded first, "Okay, I'll send someone to investigate right away."
"I'm going back to City A later, if there is any situation, I will send a message directly." She said.
Yao Cheng could hear the feeling that the storm was about to come from her words, and couldn't help feeling a little worried, "Do you need me to send some people over there?"
Gu Qingning closed the computer, "No, just prepare a car for me."
Hung up the phone, she got up to pack her backpack.
Halfway through packing, the door was suddenly opened.
She tilted her head, and the man's slender and tall figure came into her eyes, and she stopped what she was doing.
Fu Juncheng came over, glanced at the things on the sofa, frowned coldly, "Where are you going?"
Gu Qingning stuffed the computer into his backpack, looked up at him, "My elder brother and the others have all returned to city A, and they won't answer their calls. I'm worried that something happened, so go back and have a look."
Fu Juncheng said, "I guess I haven't got off the plane yet, so I can't answer the phone."
"My third brother arrived in the morning, and his cell phone was turned off." This was what she was worried about.
Gu Qingning said while packing his things, "I'll go back, I'll be back tomorrow if I have nothing to do."
Fu Juncheng reached out and pulled her into his arms, looked down at her, and said in a low voice, "I'll accompany you back."
The man's clear breath lingered on the tip of her nose, Gu Qingning did not refuse, and bent her lips, "Okay."
Gu Qingning nodded, picked up her mobile phone to book a flight ticket.
Half an hour later.
The two of them went downstairs carrying a suitcase, and everyone was stunned.
"Jun Cheng, where are you going?" Tao Qiuyue was the first to be curious.
"Could it be a honeymoon?"
Fu Juncheng held the luggage with one hand, and Gu Qingning's hand with the other, and said in a calm voice, "I have something to do with the company. I'm going out for two days."
When they heard that it was the company's business, no one doubted it. Tao Qiuyue warned, "It's so late, be careful on the road."
Fu Juncheng gave a faint "hmm".
…
Late at night, a black car drove into Gu's courtyard at a fast speed.
With a whimper, the guards couldn't even see a car.
"Hurry up and notify Steward Wan that the eldest and second young masters are back."
Suddenly hurried footsteps sounded in the quiet corridor.
Butler Wan hurried to the door of Mr. Gu's room, and he raised his hand and knocked on the door.
"Master, it's me."
Soon, the old man's hoarse voice came from inside, "Come in."
With permission, Steward Wan opened the door and walked in. Mr. Gu hadn't rested yet, and was sitting on the bed reading a book.
"It's so late, what's the matter?" Mr. Gu flipped through the book unhurriedly without raising his head.
Wan Butler said, "The Eldest Young Master and Second Young Master are back."
Old man Gu paused his fingers while turning the pages of the book, and a faint light flashed across his eyes.
"You should know how to say it."
Butler Wan lowered his eyebrows and nodded knowingly.
He turned and walked out.
Meeting Gu Ying and the other two who were about to go upstairs at the stairs, Wan Butler stopped in his tracks.
His tone was full of surprise, "Eldest Young Master, Second Young Master, why did you come back suddenly?"
Gu Che stared at him, his face darkened, "Has Zhao been back?"
Butler Wan said, "Third Young Master, he came back in the morning, but he answered the phone and left in a hurry."
His expression was so normal that Gu Che couldn't see any flaws for a while.
"what phone?"
Steward Wan shook his head and said, "I don't know about that. When I went upstairs, I saw the third young master answering the phone. Before I could say a word to him, he left in a hurry."
Gu Che turned his head and exchanged glances with Gu Ying. The two of them passed Butler Wan and went straight to the old man's room.
Steward Wan chased after them and persuaded, "Eldest young master, the master is resting. If you have any urgent matters, you might as well wait until tomorrow."
After finishing speaking, Gu Che had already opened the door and barged in.
Almost at the same time, the lights in the room came on, and Mr. Gu sat up slowly, as if he had been woken up.
"It's late at night, what are you arguing about?"
Looking at Gu Ying and the two, he snorted coldly, "Do you two still know to come back?"
Gu Che leaned back, leaning against the cabinet lazily, "We have something to do with Ah Zhao, I heard he's back."
Old Master Gu snorted lightly, "I've been here for less than five minutes, and I ran away without seeing anyone. Can this be counted?"
"Where is Ah Zhao?" Gu Ying, who had been silent after entering the door, suddenly asked.
He looked directly at the old man, his black eyes were cold and sharp.
"Grandpa, where is Ah Zhao?"
Even if the phone is turned off without battery, it is impossible to be unable to contact for a whole day. Ah Zhao is not such a reckless person.
There is only one possibility, and that is that something happened to him.
