What was he doing if he wasn’t sleeping at this time?
Feng Jia pinched the space between his eyebrows. He wasn’t sure why he had such a big reaction to a dream.
He had never lost control like this before. He didn’t like the feeling of losing control, like a puppet being held in someone else’s hand.
He let out a long sigh and sat down by the edge of the bed. “Be careful.”
Gu Chu was even more confused. “What should I be careful of?”
Feng Jia of course wouldn’t tell her that it was actually a nightmare. He only said, “I’ll be in the capital tomorrow.”
Gu Chu’s mind was filled with questions. “Why?”
She even suspected that he had taken the wrong medicine. “Are you thinking of coming over to catch me cheating?”
Gu Chu was defeated. “Feng Jia, I’ve already said that there’s nothing going on between brother Lin Yu and me…”
In the end, she said angrily, “Do whatever you want!”

She was so angry that she hung up the phone and switched on airplane mode on her secretary’s phone.
This was the lesson. If one didn’t turn off their phone while sleeping, all kinds of ridiculous things would happen.
Feng Jia packed his luggage and Susan sent him a message. “CEO Feng, the earliest flight is at 6:20.”
“Okay.”
Susan was a little confused. “Is there an urgent matter for you to go to the capital? You still have to meet with Mr. Stephen from DL in the afternoon. I’ve already rejected him once. He came to Haicheng City specifically for this, it doesn’t seem appropriate for us not to meet him.”
Feng Jia was silent.
There was no urgent matter. There wasn’t even anything for him to do there.
Gu Chu often went on business trips. He had never responded like this before. This time, it was because of a nightmare that he decided to go.
He glanced at the suitcase in the corner. “Cancel the flight. We’ll meet in the afternoon.”
He had never been an impulsive person, and it was for such a ridiculous reason.
At 8:30 in the morning, Gu Chu and her secretary started to put on makeup. The secretary couldn’t help but ask curiously, “Director, why did CEO Feng call last night?”
Gu Chu didn’t know either. Feng Jia’s call came out of nowhere. She said, “He told me to be careful.”
“Ah?” The secretary was shocked. He threatened her instead of sleeping at night? “Why?”
Gu Chu snorted. “He thinks I’m cheating on him.”
The secretary: “…”
Was it because of the misunderstanding caused by her photo yesterday? The secretary mumbled, “You brought this onto yourself.”
Gu Chu looked over. “Huh?”
The secretary immediately changed her words. “CEO Feng definitely loves you.”
Gu Chu was curious. “Why do you think so?”
The secretary said, “From his tone yesterday, I can tell that he’s very worried about you. If only my boyfriend was that worried about me too.”
“Worried?” Gu Chu pursed her lips. “He sounded normal to me.”
Wasn’t it just a normal tone?
The secretary understood. “Then he must have calmed down when he talked to you. Anyway, when I picked it up, he sounded worried.”
Gu Chu really couldn’t imagine Feng Jia’s flustered face.
She continued to put on her makeup. “Watch less idol dramas. Feng Jia isn’t the kind of person you’re talking about.”
“Oh,” the secretary changed the topic and asked, “Are we going to Li Xiu’s house today?”
Of course not. What if Li Xiu got angry out of embarrassment and hit them with a broom?
Gu Chu didn’t want to take the risk. “Let’s go to the ramen restaurant from yesterday. The owner is quite talkative. Maybe we can get some information out of her. Let’s find out why Li Xiu’s son went missing.”
“Okay!” The secretary nodded like a chick pecking at rice. “It’s so exciting. I feel like I’m investigating a case!”
But soon, she regretted the excitement.
Gu Chu smiled when she entered the restaurant. “Hi.”
The owner remembered these two beautiful girls. “Hey, do you really live near here?”
“Yes, we live in a place with red flowers at the entrance. It’s only a few minutes’ walk.” Gu Chu found a seat and sat down. “Two bowls of ramen please. I don’t want beef in mine. Just some green vegetables will do.”
“Okay!” The owner immediately started cooking.
Seeing that she was busy, Gu Chu wanted to take the opportunity to get some information out of her. “Since your shop is here, you must have a lot of neighbors who come here, right?”
The owner smiled and said, “Yes, I sell at a fair price and the place is clean. They often come to eat.”
“It’s quite convenient.” Gu Chu curved her lips. “I’m too lazy to cook, and I always eat at the restaurant near me. My parents always say that it’s not healthy, but I live alone, so I’m too lazy to cook.”
“That’s true. There’s a woman we call Aunt Li, and she also lives alone. She often comes to my place to have all her meals.”
She’s taken the bait! Aunt Li must be Li Xiu!
