"Why don't we go to Gourmet now?" The other party was asking for Gu Xi Jue's opinion.
The disappearance of Yattai Group's CEO's secretary in their city scared the local officials so much that they immediately went to mobilize their manpower and resources in case they needed to use it as a backup. With such a big case, they couldn't afford to take the consequences seriously. They had to take it seriously.
"No need, wait for me to call in an hour." In the end, Gu Xi Jue chose to give the Village Chief a chance and did not go too far.
But after an hour, if everyone disagrees to look for Xia Lan and even take advantage of this to extort him, then don't blame him for being rude.
Gu Xi Jue's face was gloomy, he quietly waited, holding the phone in his hand, his veins were popping out, he was trying his best to suppress the anger in his heart, if not he would have ordered Luo Song to bring people here already.
The weather was so hot, but his entire body was exuding an endless chill.
At the same time that he was silent and worried, he thought of a problem. He was actually worried about Xia Lan being kidnapped.
What he did not realize was that Xia Lan's disappearance had angered him to an extent that exceeded the concern her superior had for her subordinates.
Right now, it was as if someone touched his, Gu Xi Jue's, woman, and he wanted to kill his entire family.
The phone in his hand rang. He took it out and saw that it was from his mother. He was very annoyed and hung up.
Two seconds later, the phone rang again. He frowned as he looked at the ringing phone, and in the end, he still answered it, because he was afraid that something was wrong with Xiao Ze.
Right after the call connected, Xiao Ze's voice came over: "Hello, Daddy."
"Xiao Ze?" So it was Xiao Ze calling.
"Yeah, dad, what are you doing?" Xiao Ze had originally wanted to look for Xia Lan directly, but due to his father's arrogant and spoiled personality, he decided to care for his father a little, and chat with Auntie Xia Lan again later.
"Why didn't you go to school today?" Gu Xi Jue did not answer him, and reprimanded him with an extremely strict tone.
Xiao Ze pouted and said grievingly: "Today is the weekend!"
"…" Gu Xi Jue looked at the time on his watch. It really was a weekend, he was so busy that he forgot the time.
"Have you finished your homework?" Gu Xi Li also knew that the reason for Xiao Ze's call was Xia Lan. Before, he had been on a business trip for a week, but this bastard wouldn't even give him a call.
"Finished." Xiao Ze replied cutely, his voice loud and clear, looking like he was in a good mood.
"Why is my mood so good?" In the end, he was still his son. Just from the voice, he didn't need to see the person to know his current condition.
Xiao Ze laughed, "I went to eat KFC today, I still have a limited number of dolls to give."
"Did Grandmother take you to eat that kind of junk food?" Gu Xi Jue frowned, he had strictly ordered Xiao Ze not to eat candy or KFC. This brat had never mentioned it to him, but as long as he was not at home, Xiao Ze would make sure his grandparents took him there.
Only, Gu Xi Jue had already clearly told the two elders in the family that they were not allowed to bring him for trash food. The fact that children were growing up did not mean that they were used to Xiao Ze.
Xiao Ze covered his mouth. Only now did he realize that he had said the wrong thing.
Madam Gu snatched the phone away: "I'm not the one who brought him there, it's Xia Qing, it's not easy for this young lady …"
Before Madam Gu even finished speaking, Gu Xi Jue's face darkened again, and he coldly asked: "Xia Qing went to find Xiao Ze again?"
This woman simply ignored his words, if not she would not have understood him earlier, right?
"No matter what, she is still …" Madam Gu did not dare to say anything else, because every time he said it, Gu Xi Jue would be unhappy, and she did not understand. It was clearly Xia Qing who carried Xiao Ze to their house and said that he was their family's flesh and blood, and her son had admitted it, but why was he not taking the child as his mother?
Furthermore, he insisted that Xia Qing was not the child's mother, so where did this child come from?
Every time she wanted to ask, Gu Xi Jue would coldly say that they don't need to bother about him, as long as he was clear about it.
She saw that Xia Qing this woman had been treating Xiao Ze pretty well, and had always thought of him, so she secretly came to see him. She didn't know what Gu Xi Jue this brat was thinking.
"Mom, stop talking, you want me to say it a few times, don't let that woman, Xia Qing, near Xiao Ze!" Gu Xi Jue asked.
"I only found out when the driver came back to tell me that Xia Qing was taken away by Xia Qing." Knowing that his son was angry, Madam Gu immediately tried to explain.
"When your grandson gets kidnapped, you'll know what a good person is and what a bad person is." Gu Xi Jue purposely scared her, or else he felt that he really might not have any sense of security. He kept thinking that Xia Qing was a good woman, and even thought that Xia Qing might be Xiao Ze's mother.
What a joke. Would a good woman lead a good show like that?
"Is it that serious?" Madam Gu scolded softly. She had always felt that it was because her son disliked Xia Qing that she refused to recognize him as her child's mother. However, every time she wanted to teach this brat a lesson, she would be taught a lesson by her son instead.
"Is there anything else? If there is nothing else, I will be busy now. Don't leave Xiao Ze alone with Xia Qing." In regards to Xia Qing, Gu Xi Jue still had some reservations. Back then, she had been able to scheme against him, but who knew if she would make a move against him.
Although he knew that Xiao Ze was currently a bargaining chip against her, if she lost all sense of reason, who could guarantee that he would do so? After all, he could not use Xiao Ze's safety as a wager.
"Alright, alright, I got it. Wait, Xiao Ze still has something to say. " Madam Gu returned the phone back to Xiao Ze.
"Daddy, where's the beautiful aunt?" Xiao Ze's voice was childish and very cute, and one could tell from hearing that it must be a shota.
"She's not by my side now. We'll be back in two days. Do you miss her so much?" Gu Xi Jue didn't want to lie to this child, but he couldn't tell him the truth either. Otherwise, with this child's concern and reliance on Xia Lan, wouldn't he cry to death?
"Oh, okay then. Goodbye daddy." Xiao Ze's mood dropped to the bottom of the valley, the beautiful lady was not by his father's side, even his tone was not as lively as before.
Gu Xi Jue stared at the phone that was hung up, he did not know whether to laugh or cry, it was too realistic, Xia Lan was not by his side, and immediately hung up?
He really suspected that this child wasn't his own, but Xia Lan's.
In less than an hour, the village chief ran back with a large group of villagers following behind him.
With this battle, Gu Xi Jue really couldn't understand whether everyone was angry enough to want to chase him out of the village, or to help him find Xia Lan.
A man in his thirties ran up to Gu Xi Jue and asked: "Is what the village chief told us true? He really didn't chase us away, and now he's even giving us shops to do business?"
