Chapter 1304 - Such Threats? 4
mu yuchen naturally would not have expected that the day after they received these photos, the same thing would occur inside gu qiwu’s study room in the gu residence of city z.
on gu qiwu’s wide desk were the same pictures that had been sent to mu lingshi. they were all of mu lingmo being held down and beaten up.
at this moment, gu qiwu was sitting at his desk, and ah yong could feel the tension from him even with the distance of the desk!
“what’s the meaning of this?” gu qiwu looked coldly at the pictures on the table and demanded coldly.
“boss, these were sent over by express delivery this morning. i didn’t know thee were what was inside too. in fact, i checked that the sender’s name isn’t even real. we knew that mu lingmo was kidnapped with qi lei, so i think these were sent by the kidnappers, but we didn’t receive any news of them asking for money. i wonder what these kidnappers are up to!” ah yong broke into a cold sweat as he said a little worriedly.
“since you know something like this has happened, why didn’t you investigate it? qi lei’s been kidnapped too? how did qi qiming react?”
gu qiwu looked at ah yong with a reprimanding gaze as he said sharply.
ah yong quickly lowered his head. “i’m sorry, boss, it’s my oversight. however, i’ve just quickly contacted our people who say that qi qiming only found out about this just yesterday and was enraged. after that, he called qi feng to his office. i’m guessing that he might have reprimanded qi feng for negligence, or he suspects that this has something to do with qi feng. boss, you know how qi feng and qi lei have been recently too, so there is that possibility.”
“qi feng? does qi feng dare touch ah mo? he doesn’t have anything against ah mo, does he? apart from mu yuchen, he doesn’t have a reason to go for ah mo. he has to give in a little to me at least. to openly go against me doesn’t seem like a foolish thing that qi feng would do! yet, you just told me that mu yuchen and su chen have confirmed that ah mo went missing the same time as qi lei! when did mu yuchen return to the country? why don’t i know about it? didn’t i hear that the matter in new york hasn’t yet been resolved? why is he suddenly back?”
gu qiwu could not figure it out.
“boss, you’re right. however, boss, we just received bad news too.” when ah yong said this, he paused, and his expression subconsciously tensed up as he looked worriedly at gu qiwu.
“what news?” gu qiwu asked coldly and tossed the pictures onto the desk nonchalantly. actually, his thoughts seemed to be leaning towards a suspect. most probably, only that evil woman would do such a thing!
in fact, he did not forget that she had sent him a series of pictures related to mu lingshi before this. this beautiful yet evil woman was just like a poppy. if it had been back then, gu qiwu both loved and loathed her. however, since the divorce, his feelings for her were completely erased.
doris and gu lingsha were actually very similar to each other. they both thought they were inherently noble and all high and mighty with no sense of self-awareness. in comparison, gu qiwu suddenly felt that mu zixi and mu lingshi were much more hassle-free.
nevertheless, with mu lingshi’s current personality, she did not care about acknowledging him as her father.
“boss, actually, since mu lingmo’s disappearance, miss mu lingshi hasn’t been doing too well. before these pictures were sent to you, a copy was already sent to miss lingshi just yesterday evening. i heard that miss lingshi fainted when she saw these pictures, mu yuchen sent her to the hospital, and she’s still hospitalized right now…”
bam!
before ah yong could finish, the teacup in gu qiwu’s hand had already been smashed onto the table. he was extremely unhappy, and his grave and stern face was covered with a layer of cold, stormy clouds.
“boss, are you okay?” ah yong broke out in cold sweat as he looked a little worriedly at gu qiwu. “don’t worry, boss. i’ve found out that miss lingshi is alright now, but she might need to rest for a few days.”
“where did you find out about this?” gu qiwu held back the anger that he felt and asked ah yong coldly.
“li si mentioned it…” ah yong responded softly.
then, a dark and complicated light flashed in gu qiwu’s eyes. he thought about it for a moment before smiling coldly, “looks like it’s mu yuchen’s orders. without mu yuchen’s green light, li si wouldn’t have told you all of this.”
“boss, are you saying that mu yuchen’s planning on working with you? but why?” ah yong did not quite understand it. he remained stunned as he looked at his boss and asked in confusion.
“hmph, because he’s very smart. he can already guess who’s behind this!” gu qiwu viciously picked up the photos on the table and said through gritted teeth, “i wanted to just end things nicely on account of having been married once, but you won’t take it. well then, don’t blame me for being cruel, witch!”
at this point, as patient as gu qiwu was, he finally could not help but curse.
now, something appeared in ah yong’s mind. he finally caught it and could not help but gasp. just as he was about to say something, gu qiwu spoke up first, “quickly find out doris’s tracks for me right away. she should still be in city z. you must get her to meet me. i think she’ll be very happy to!”
gu qiwu seemed indifferent, then he picked up the stack of photos on the table before tossing them to ah yong. “and these things, burn them all!”
inhaling, ah yong quickly nodded and swiftly packed away all the photos. “yes, boss, don’t worry. i’ll destroy them right away!”
ah yong had just reached the door when gu qiwu spoke again, “also, get my private lawyer over right away. i have some things to consult him about. tell him to rush over in secret. right, just tell him to come past midnight today at 1.30 in the morning. i’ll wait for him at our usual spot. warn him to be more vigilant too!”
“yes, i understand, boss! i’ll go get it done right away!” ah yong answered with a lowered voice and then left the study room.
when he heard the door close, gu qiwu fell slightly limp while his stern face was covered in fatigue. he thought about mu lingshi, and worry could not help but flash in his eyes.
