Ever since they had parted ways abroad, Xu Nian and Gong Chen had not been in contact. Recalling the times they spent studying abroad in the past, the two couldn't help but sigh.
Xu Nian and Gong Chen sat in a luxurious private room. The two of them looked at each other and smiled.
"When did the Lan City arrive?"
Gong Chen ordered someone to bring a bottle of high-end red wine, and personally pour it for Xu Nian.
"One month ago." Xu Nian raised his wine cup, lightly took a sip, and then put it down, his expression solemn. "The reason why I'm looking for you this time, is because I need your help."
Hearing that, Gong Chen's hands paused, he put down the wine bottle and leaned back, lighting a cigarette, "Xu Nian, you are truly interesting, at that time I spent a lot of effort to invite you out, and you rejected me without exception. Now I want to hear, what exactly did you come to me for?"
Although he had lived together for many years, his understanding of Xu Nian was very little. Other than his name, he had never heard of Xu Nian mentioning anything else, as Xu Nian seemed to have a very cautious heart.
Although Gong Chen had known him for many years, Gong Chen had never heard the word beg from him before. From the looks of it, the normally cold and arrogant Xu Nian had met with big trouble today.
"Do you know Shi Hanmo?"
Xu Nian paused for a while and asked.
Shi Hanmo? Hearing this name, Gong Chen's mood, which he had calmed down with great difficulty, suddenly tensed up. After pinching his cigarette, Gong Chen patted the smoke off his hand and asked calmly, "You want to get to know him?"
"Help me contact him tomorrow. I have urgent business with him."
Xu Nian got up and acted as if he was going to leave.
"Wait …" Gong Chen called out to him coldly, "What happened? "You know, even if you didn't say anything, I would have found out."
Finished speaking, Xu Nian only paused for a moment, then lifted his leg and left without looking back.
Looking at the man's fading back, Gong Chen helplessly shook his head, and immediately got his assistant, Zhang Tian, to contact Shi Hanmo.
He understood Xu Nian's temperament, no matter what method he used, he would not easily let go of anything he did not want to say. It was precisely because of that stubbornness in his bones that Gong Chen treated him as a true brother.
After returning from the clubhouse, Gong Chen personally drove the carriage back to the Gong's Group.
"President Gong, the corpses have been investigated thoroughly, and the person who died was called Baldy. He was a famous hooligan with Lan City, and was extremely capable under Lee Tianhou's command. From the looks of it, this must be related to Lee Tianhou." Zhang Tian walked in from outside, and said with a serious expression.
It's this Lee Tianhou again! He had warned him more than once, but he never thought that Yue Yang would actually intentionally make things difficult for Su Qinglian behind his back. If he didn't show some face, he might really think that Gong Chen was an easy target!
"Prepare the carriage, I want to personally meet this Lee Tianhou!" Gong Chen slammed the table fiercely, and ordered angrily.
"President Gong, there's one other thing that's strange, the bald man died in a house called Xu Nian's, but there was no sign of him at the scene …"
"What?" Gong Chen, who was about to walk out of the office, suddenly turned around after hearing the two words "Xu Nian", "What did you say? This matter is related to Xu Nian?! "
Seeing Gong Chen's abnormal look, Zhang Tian seemed to be able to pick up on some clues. He paused for a moment and said, "President Gong, do you know Xu Nian? It's been said that this guy has a strong background, and even now, our people still haven't found his whereabouts. If the Miss Su were to land in his hands, it's unknown whether he's dead or alive … "
"I'm going out for a while!"
Without waiting for Zhang Tian to finish speaking, Gong Chen frowned and left the company in a hurry.
Lan City Hospital
The sound of noisy footsteps rang out in the corridor, and then "Bang." With a sound, the door to Xu Nian's office was kicked open, and Gong Chen walked in with an ashen face.
"Did you hide Su Qinglian? What is your goal?! "
Gong Chen walked closer, and used his strength to grab hold of Xu Nian's shirt collar as he questioned angrily.
He never would have thought that his brother of so many years would actually be related to Su Qinglian. After separating for a long time, he felt that this man in front of him seemed to have become a little unfamiliar.
Hearing that, Xu Nian frowned, then calmly opened Gong Chen's fingers one by one, and took a step back.
"You know her?"
She lost her memories, and could not remember anything from the past. Even her name was obtained from the mouth of the criminal, and seeing Gong Chen's nervous expression, it seemed that this woman was just as he had guessed, and was definitely not an ordinary woman.
After lighting up a cigarette, Xu Nian told Su Qinglian everything that he had experienced in the past few days. Gong Chen's face changed, after knowing the truth, he first looked at Xu Nian apologetically, and then became nervous again.
"Are you saying that Su Qinglian was kidnapped? That man called for Shi Hanmo? "
"Mm, the trade time is set for tomorrow night."
After he finished speaking, the air descended into silence. Gong Chen deeply furrowed his brows, as if he was thinking about something.
Just then, the phone in his pocket rang, instantly disturbing Gong Chen's train of thought. He came back to his senses and pressed the answer button.
"President Gong, the plane has been prepared. When do you want to head to the Lian City?"
Assistant Zhang Tian's voice sounded from the other end of the phone.
Gong Chen subconsciously looked at Xu Nian who was not far away, and said: "We will depart in half an hour."
Before long, Gong Chen and Xu Nian boarded a private plane heading towards the Lian City. It was almost dusk and the plane finally landed at the Lian City Airport.
Time Group
"President Shi, they have arrived."
The assistant, Blue Sky, said softly as he entered the office.
"Yes, I'll go as soon as I can."
Shi Hanmo closed his notebook, got up slowly and walked toward the Conference Room.
After Shi Hanmo sat down, Gong Chen cut off his cigarette and coughed a few times before saying, "Su Qinglian found it."
Hearing that, Shi Hanmo's eyes lit up, he looked at Gong Chen happily: Where is she?
Every day when he returned to that familiar home, he would always feel that the woman was still by his side, the air was filled with her scent, and every time he opened her bedroom door, Shi Hanmo would always sit there for a while, as if he was looking at people.
"She was kidnapped."
Xu Nian who was seated quietly at the side suddenly looked at Shi Hanmo, his voice was terrifyingly cold.
He could not understand, how could such a man with such a noble identity possibly have the heart to ignore his wife and children. If he had not met, the Su Qinglian who had lost all his memories would have already fallen to an unknown place and received some kind of inhuman torture.
Hearing that, Shi Hanmo's happiness froze on his face. He staggered over to Xu Nian's side and asked anxiously, "What did you say? Lian was kidnapped? "
"The criminal told you to prepare ten million, and to hand it over to him tomorrow night in the outskirts of Lan City."
Before Shi Hanmo could regain his senses, Xu Nian's cold voice sounded out once again.
