After dinner, Qin Yize originally planned to take Gu Qiaoqiao out on a date.
But unexpectedly, they were joined by four oblivious third wheels.
Then halfway through, Luo Fan joined the group.
So the initially two-person outing turned into a seven-person affair.
When they arrived at the gathering place, Gu Qiaoqiao found her usual friends were all there.
However, Shang Qing wasnât among them.
Didnât Chu Chengfeng say Shang Qing would be back tonight...
Before Gu Qiaoqiao could ask, several girls surrounded her and enthusiastically started asking questions.
Chu Chengfeng must have warned them in advance not to pry into the matters between Qin Yize and Gu Qiaoqiao.
So naturally, no one asked.
Gu Qiaoqiao was relieved.
This was Chu Chengfengâs billiard hall, which wasnât open for business today and was entirely used to entertain friends.
Upstairs and downstairs, it was bustling.
After waiting for a while, Shang Qing still hadnât come, which puzzled Gu Qiaoqiao; how come she hadnât arrived home yet?
Then Gu Qiaoqiao called the Shang Family.
The call was answered by Shang Qingâs older brother, who warmly told Gu Qiaoqiao that Shang Qing had returned to the Imperial Capital because she was delayed by some matter, so she might be a bit late.
Afterward, he warmly invited Gu Qiaoqiao to visit the Shang Family.
Shang Qing hadnât told her family the truth, afraid that they would think sheâs messing around.
After politely thanking, Gu Qiaoqiao hung up the phone.
She was then pulled by Qin Yize to play billiards.
Gu Qiaoqiao was very good at billiards as well.
Qin Yize enjoyed the feeling of being bested by Gu Qiaoqiao and didnât feel embarrassed by it, rather he was proud.
Today, Qin Yize was still elegantly handsome.
Even among the crowd on the second floor, he effortlessly attracted everyoneâs attention.
Unfortunately, his heart was already claimed, so admiring him was futile.
This night was tumultuous yet not calm.
Shang Qing still hadnât arrived by eleven oâclock at night.
However, she had called her family explaining that she had saved someone on the road and was now in the hospital, not mentioning much else.
Naturally, no one took it seriously, since she had Xiao Li, a bodyguard and driver, by her side.
Meanwhile, Lin Fanpeng was still tirelessly searching through the streets and alleys for the Sect Leader.
The Sect Leader has already been missing for a week.
Still no sign of him.
Along with him, that White Cat also went missing.
The Gu Family also secretly checked but found no trace of the owner, and they didnât have the capability to detain Dongfang Yu.
But where did this person and cat go?
If they were retreating from the world like before, they would surely notify him.
Itâs impossible to leave without saying anything.
Besides, the Sect Leaderâs coveted item hasnât been obtained, how could he leave?
Especially Gu Qiaoqiao.
His subordinates reported that Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were having great fun at Chu Chengfengâs billiard hall.
Lin Fanpeng searched until midnight but suddenly realized.
Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize were together again?
He knew Gu Qiaoqiao would find Qin Yize; it was human nature, the two were forced apart, surely reluctant, and after returning, Gu Qiaoqiao and Qin Yize werenât together.
He had been aware of this.
But he didnât expect that on the fifth day, they would be mingling together again.
Who gave them such courage?
Isnât Gu Qiaoqiao worried about implicating the Qin Family again?
Or do they have something to rely on?
Could they be connected to the Sect Leaderâs disappearance?
