The Shang family had fallen into decline, and they were at a disadvantage, leaving him to run amok.
After todayâs events, his engagement with Shang Muxue was also naturally dissolved; there would be no further connection, and it would no longer affect the company.
However, Old Gu didnât understand why he needed to do this.
The matrimonial alliance between the Gu and Shang families was only beneficial to him, not harmful. Why go to such lengths, even bringing up the baby-stealing incident from five years ago? The latter offense would have been enough for a conviction.
Old Gu looked at Liancheng beside him, his face full of confusion.
After so many years, he still couldnât see through him.
Once the police had left and the media had chased after Shang Mengâs news, Suqing ran up on stage and looked at Liancheng.
Shang Jingyang walked towards them and grabbed Shang Muxueâs arm, "First see if itâs a person or a ghost."
With Shang Muxueâs intelligence, she couldnât understand what had happened and just stood there dumbfounded.
Liancheng didnât have time to deal with Shang Muxueâs emotions; he instinctively felt something was off with Suqingâs expression.
"Whatâs wrong? What happened?"
Before Suqing could speak, Lianchengâs personal phone rang.
"Itâs the young master." He handed over the phone.
Liancheng answered, "Jiujiu, whatâs happened?"
On the other end, Jiujiu was still panting, "It seems like Eleven is missing."
"What happened?" Liancheng immediately furrowed his brows.
It turned out his constant unease was because of her...
"Weâve looked everywhere but canât find her. It seems like weâve been deceived. While at the hotel, someone told us Eleven had already arrived at the villa. It must be related to her disappearance."
"Where are you? Iâm on my way!"
"No, I need a computer more right now. Iâve lost contact with Feiâs mom, and sheâs with Cute."
"A computer? I have one."
Liancheng ran down from the stage, not caring about the situation on stage or the rest.
Suqing followed him down, and hearing them talk about Eleven, he interjected, "Mr. Gu, your wifeâs phone is acting strange! The positioning system shows sheâs in Jiangcheng District!"
"What?" Liancheng and Jiujiu exclaimed together.
"Why would she be in Jiangcheng District? Whatâs she doing there?"
"Itâs even stranger, Mr. Gu. The positioning shows that she has not moved from that spot."
While Liancheng was frowning and thinking, Jiujiuâs voice came from the phone, "I really need a computer," he repeated.
...
Finally, the father and son who had made contact met up.
Although unaware of what Jiujiu needed the computer for, the moment they met, Suqing handed it over.
"Get in the car!" Liancheng lifted Jiujiu into the vehicle and was about to take out the childâs seat.
"Forget that for now!"
Who had the mood to bother about a childâs seat at such a time?
Jiujiu directly pushed it aside and sat on the seat.
Liancheng didnât have the time to fuss over that thing and told Suqing, "Stay here, get in touch with Ye Fei, and when you meet, take them back first."
"No need!" Jiujiu spoke up, "Uncle Suqing, drive. Dad, sit next to me. Cute is with Feiâs mom; they will be fine. I already told them to rendezvous at the city district. Letâs head off first, finding Eleven is urgent!"
Liancheng and Suqing were both startled.
They had always known Jiujiu was precocious, psychologically far older than his peers and with a crushing intelligence, but his ability to stay calm in times of danger...
He truly was a prodigy reborn.
Could it be like Kudou Shinichi, who took a drug and turned back into a child?
Awkward!
Suqing marveled at his own wild idea.
