Chapter 152 Unexpected
Qin Tang didn't care, and signaled the stewardess to go to Chen Xiao first.

He acted so magnanimously, but Chen Xiao was resentful. In the end, he threw the coffee without even moving it.

Qin Tang had already arranged to be here, Gu Shi'an was in a daze all the way, after getting off the plane, he followed Qin Tang to the car that came to pick them up.

When Chen Xiao came out from the airport, the two just got into the car. He had no expression on his face, and he just stood there without moving. He didn't walk over until the assistant beside him reminded him that the car had come.

He still couldn't hold back, and before he got in the car, he said to the assistant beside him, "Check where they are."

The assistant quickly replied yes.

Chen Xiao didn't speak any more, closed his eyes and fell asleep when he got in the car.The image of Gu Shi'an and Qin Tang getting into the car together is still in his mind.He sat without moving, and after a long time, he turned his head to look out the window, lit a cigarette and started smoking.

The agreed time was 01:30, and Gu Shian and Qin Tang had been waiting in the agreed hotel since they got off the plane.Gu Shi'an didn't eat anything in the morning, and when she had lunch at noon, she didn't have much appetite either, so she only ate very little.

That guy was punctual, and came over on time at 01:30.Qin Tang stood up to say hello, and after a few pleasantries, his eyes fell on Gu Shi'an, and he said with a sigh: "In a flash, you turned out to be an adult. You don't look much like your father, you look like your mother." some more."

When mentioning his parents, Gu Shi'an's throat tightened a little.In the end, he squeezed out a smile, said some polite words, and invited that person to sit down.

Regarding the death of Gu Shi'an's father, what outsiders know is because of a car accident.As for the idea of ​​suicide, it was the tacit acquiescence of the Gu family.

Since Qin Tang asked him out, he naturally knew something about it.Although it was a long time ago, because it was the last time, he remembered it very clearly.He clearly told Gu Shi'an that when he met her father for the last time, he did not have any tendency to commit suicide.

The Gu family was already going downhill. When they met, Gu Shi'an's father had a project in his hand to discuss investment with him.

At that time, he was very confident in the project he was in, and he wanted to use this project to re-develop the Gu family, which was already in decline.How could it be possible to commit suicide.

No one knows the specific progress of the project he was working on at that time. The only thing known is that after his death, the project was not mentioned again.

After sending that person away, Gu Shi'an was in a daze in the room.He didn't even know when Qin Tang left the room.

When she came to her senses, it was already dark outside.She stared at the blurred lights outside for a while, and then walked out of the room.

She didn't pay attention when Qin Tang left, and she didn't know where he went.Don't even know who to ask.

She stood in the corridor for a while, took out her mobile phone and made a call.The phone was not connected, indicating that it was temporarily unavailable.

Gu Shi'an's chest felt a little tight, so he sent Qin Tang a text message that she was going out for a walk and would be back in a while, and left the hotel.

It was a completely strange city outside, and she didn't even know where she was going.Just go with your own feeling.

The hotel is not remote, and the lights of the shops and shopping malls on both sides are as bright as day.Gu Shi'an walked aimlessly along the street. She didn't know how long she walked before she sat down at the bus stop by the roadside.

The passing vehicles roared, and she didn't come back to her senses until the phone rang.She originally thought that the call was from Qin Tang, but it was not, it was from Chang Yan.

She usually doesn't know when she comes here, she looks at the phone for a while, and then picks up the phone.

As soon as she was fed, Chang Li on the other end of the phone asked her where she was.Gu Shi'an did not tell her that he was in City R, but replied that he was still outside.

There was nothing wrong with Chang'an's call, she just asked about her job search.Let her look for it slowly, and go to the store if she has nothing to do.

Gu Shi'an knew that she was worried about her, so he complied.I asked how the business in the store was, and then hung up the phone.

Gu Shi'an had nowhere to go, so he stood for a while before returning to the hotel.

Qin Tang probably hasn't come back yet, hasn't called her, and hasn't replied to her text messages.She took the elevator upstairs, got out of the elevator at the floor, and before she reached the door of the room, she saw Chen Xiao standing in the corridor, talking on the phone.

Gu Shi'an's footsteps paused slightly, but Chen Xiao was not surprised at all when he saw her, waited for her to approach, and then asked lightly, "Where did you go?"

Gu Shi'an didn't answer his words, and walked straight to the direction of the room.After walking a few steps and turning around, I saw Chen Xiao following behind.

She didn't have the mind to deal with him, she stopped and asked, "Is there something wrong?"

Chen Xiao didn't answer his words, but looked around and asked, "The one surnamed Qin brought you here, where did he go by himself?"

Although he has only been here for a short time, he knows that Qin Tang went out in the afternoon and never came back.

Gu Shi'an didn't want to answer his question, so he ignored him and continued to move forward.

Originally thought that Chen Xiao would not follow this time, when Gu Shian opened the door, he unexpectedly stood by the door again.

Gu Shian turned to look at him.

Chen Xiao didn't flinch at all, and asked, "I heard that person was found?"

His tone was not asking at all, but stating.

It was obvious that she had only met that man not long ago, and she didn't know where he got the news from.

Gu Shi'an didn't speak.

Chen Xiao only regarded her as acquiescing, and asked again: "Where is he now?"

His face was expressionless.

Gu Shi'an avoided his gaze and said, "It doesn't matter where you are."

She ignored Chen Xiao, opened the door and walked into the room.Who knew that Chen Xiao actually followed in, and asked again, "Where is he?"

He is very stubborn.

Gu Shi'an fell silent, and after a while, he said, "Don't bother you, Chang'an is already investigating."

Chen Xiao didn't speak anymore.

Since he asked these questions, he should have known that nothing could come out of that man's mouth.After being silent for a while, he asked again: "How does she plan to investigate?"

Although Gu Shi'an was an insider in this matter, in fact, she was almost like an outsider.She didn't know almost anything.

She did not speak.

Chen Xiao didn't speak either, but lit a cigarette and started smoking.For a moment the room was extremely quiet.

After waiting for a cigarette to finish, Chen Xiao raised his wrist to check the time and asked, "Have you eaten?"

His tone softened a lot.

Gu Shi'an didn't have any appetite, so he was silent for a while and replied: "I'm not hungry."

Chen Xiao stood up as if she didn't hear her saying that she wasn't hungry, and said, "Let's go, I'll take you out to eat."

Gu Shi'an reached out and rubbed the center of his brows, and said, "I'm not hungry. Please leave too, I'm going to rest."

"It's only nine o'clock now." Chen Xiao said.After a slight pause, he said lightly, "Don't worry, if I want to do something, I've already done it now."

He stood without moving.It was as if Gu Shian would stay here if he didn't go out.

After all, Gu Shi'an stood up and followed him downstairs.

Gu Shi'an didn't know it was the first time he came here, but Chen Xiao was obviously familiar with it.On the basement floor of the hotel, there is actually a small tavern.

It is said to be a tavern, but it is also a restaurant.People who come here can order a few side dishes and a jug of wine.

I don't know when is the peak time in this tavern. When the two entered, there were only two tables in the corner.

Chen Xiao was familiar with this place, so he asked Gu Shian what he wanted to eat, and asked the boss to serve it.

There were not many people, and the boss was sitting leisurely in the kitchen doing business.Hearing yelling and beeping, there was no response.After waiting for about ten minutes, the steaming braised pork rice was served.

His side is special, Gu Shi'an didn't hear Chen Xiao ordering wine, but he also served a jug of wine.

Chen Xiao probably saw Gu Shian's doubts, and explained: "The boss is very knowledgeable about wine, he knows what kind of wine should go with what kind of food."

After he finished speaking, he didn't say much, took the cup brought by the boss and poured Gu Shi'an a glass of wine.The smell of wine was very strong, so he continued: "You can drink a little."

Gu Shi'an didn't say a word, and ate the stewed pork rice.She was in a low mood, and after a while, she picked up the glass and drank the wine.

The wine is not strong, and the mouth is soft and long.After drinking, my lips and teeth are fragrant, and I don't know what kind of wine it is.

Chen Xiao didn't order anything for himself. When she was eating, he also ordered a glass of wine, and sat beside her and drank slowly.

The tavern was very quiet, the voices of the conversations were low, and almost no one made any loud noises.

The wine appetized, Gu Shian hadn't eaten all day, but with that wine, he even finished a bowl of braised pork rice.

The boss is very good at reading people's hearts, probably because he saw that the two of them would not leave immediately, so he brought a plate of side dishes made by himself and a jug of wine.And told Gu Shi'an that the wine should be slightly stronger.

Gu Shi'an thanked him and continued to drink.

Chen Xiao didn't stop her, and waited for her to drink so much before asking, "What are you and Qin Tang doing here?"

He asked lightly, as if he was just asking casually.

His people found out that the two came to meet someone at noon today, but they couldn't find out who the other party was, and they didn't know why they wanted to meet that person.

Gu Shi'an didn't know whether he didn't hear what he said or he didn't want to answer, so he didn't speak.

Chen Xiao didn't ask any more questions, didn't drink anymore, but lit a cigarette and started smoking.Just look at Gu Shian like that.

She doesn't drink well, and her face is flushed now.For some reason, Chen Xiao suddenly remembered many scenes when he met her to socialize in the past.

He met her for a while, and she followed Peng Xue all the time.At that time, she was still a rookie, toasting other people's wine was the real deal, and it was outrageously honest.

Later, even though she was still following Peng Xue, she was already advancing and retreating gracefully, with a smile on her face all the time.When encountering unruly guests, they just keep smiling faces.

In the past, he didn't feel anything, and he didn't even stop his gaze on her for a while.Not to mention helping her out.

Thinking about it now, my heart hurts badly.Chen Xiao sat for a while with a cigarette between his fingers, and poured himself a glass of wine.

Obviously Gu Shi'an was sitting opposite him, for some reason, he didn't even have the courage to look at her at this moment.

I don't know why, at this moment, many pictures that have been blurred before reappeared in my mind.Lively, as if it was yesterday.

He was slightly in a trance, and after a long time, he stubbed out the cigarette butt in his hand.

At this moment, Gu Shi'an had almost drunk the pot of wine.Chen Xiao reached out and took the jug from her hand, stood up, and said, "It's getting late, let's go back."

It's quiet here, and the sitting time passes without knowing it.It was only after nine o'clock when I came, but it was already eleven o'clock now, and it was indeed time to go back.

Gu Shi'an, who had been drinking, was quite obedient, and when he heard him say that he was going back, he stood up without making a sound.She shook when she stood up, Chen Xiao wanted to reach out to help her, but she avoided it.

She seemed a little confused about the way out, and looked at Chen Xiao with a pair of misty eyes.

Those eyes are clear, just like many years ago.Chen Xiao was absent-minded for a moment, picked up his coat and walked out.

Gu Shi'an didn't let him help him, and he didn't walk fast.After walking a few steps, he had to stop and wait for her.

Gu Shi'an was very obedient now, and followed behind him.The distance from the tavern to the elevator entrance is not too far. Because of the stop and go, the two walked for about 5 minutes to arrive.

Gu Shi'an's face was bright red, and after pressing the elevator, Chen Xiao, who had been silent all this time, asked, "Would you like some water?"

He said looking around.

Gu Shi'an shook his head silently, expressing no need.

Her appearance like this meant that she was still awake, and Chen Xiao stopped talking now.

His people have been paying attention to Gu Shi'an, but not Qin Tang.Gu Shi'an's phone didn't ring so late, which proves that he hasn't come back after going out.He still couldn't hold back, and asked, "Where did Qin go?"

Gu Shi'an has always been indifferent to him, and he doesn't expect her to answer.Who knew that she raised a pair of misty eyes to look at him, and replied, "I don't know."

She was out of shape at that time, and she didn't even know whether Qin Tang had greeted her when he left.After all, she was still somewhat conscious, and when she heard Chen Xiao's question, she took out her mobile phone and dialed Qin Tang's number.

Chen Xiao lifted a rock and smashed his own foot, and stopped talking.

Qin Tang's phone is still unreachable, still unreachable.I don't know what to do.

Gu Shi'an put the phone in his pocket after typing, and then looked up at the number of the elevator going up.When the elevator door opened, this time without Chen Xiao's reminder, she walked out by herself.

Chen Xiao was naturally worried when she went back like this, and followed her to her room.

Gu Shi'an probably felt uncomfortable in his stomach, so he opened the door and went to the bathroom.Even Chen Xiao didn't care about following her into the room.

Although she didn't drink much, she still vomited.Chen Xiao stepped forward to open the bathroom door, only to realize that the door was locked from the inside by her.

She didn't stay in the bathroom for long, and opened the door in less than 5 minutes.Without even looking at Chen Xiao, she walked to the sofa and sat down, and nestled inside like a cat.

Chen Xiao poured her a glass of warm water and handed it in front of her. Her eyes opened for a while, she drank it, and then closed her eyes again.

She didn't make a fuss at all, Chen Xiao originally wanted to ask her to wash up, but in the end she didn't call, and took a thin blanket to cover her.After waiting for her to breathe evenly, he lightly carried her to the bed.

After drinking, she fell asleep soundly, with thick sweat protruding from the tip of her nose.Chen Xiao stood by the bed and watched. After a while, he wrung out a hot towel, wiped her forehead and face, and wiped her hands.

He was clumsy in doing this, when he took Gu Shian's hand in his, he realized that her hand was extremely small, and he could cover two palms with one hand.

When he wiped his hands clean, he realized that she had already taken off the wedding ring on her hand.Even the traces of wearing a ring can no longer be seen on the finger.

Chen Xiao didn't move for a while.After a while, he wrung out the towel and put it away, then stood at the window and smoked.

When they got married, he didn't take it seriously at all.He didn't even pick out the ring himself.If she hadn't often worn a wedding ring when they got married, he couldn't even remember what their wedding ring looked like.

Chen Xiao turned his head, looked at the smooth fingers without any ornaments on the outside of the quilt, and took another drag on his cigarette.

Before he finished his cigarette, Gu Shi'an's cell phone rang on the sofa.Afraid of waking her up, he stepped forward in two or three steps, turned off the phone and picked it up.

The call was from Qin Tang, but he didn't answer or hang up, and turned off the phone directly.He also turned off the lights in the room.

The room was quickly plunged into darkness. There were footsteps outside and it was unknown if it was Qin Tang's. Chen Xiao ignored it and sat on the sofa.

It took several minutes for the sound of footsteps outside to go away. He opened his eyes, walked to the head of the bed and stood still, looking at the person on the bed through the dim light coming in from the window.

She is now soundly asleep, breathing softly.It's just that the brows are slightly frowned, and I don't know if it's a dream or something.

Chen Xiao stretched out his hand, and paused in mid-air. After a while, he gently smoothed her brows.

He didn't stay in the room all the time, after two o'clock in the middle of the night, he put a glass of water on her bedside, and then he closed the door lightly and went out.

The hallway was dimly lit and quiet.Chen Xiao's room was next door. He stood in the corridor for a while before entering the room.Then he took out his mobile phone and called Assistant Sun, asking him to book him the earliest ticket back to Lincheng tomorrow morning.

At this time, it was already midnight, and Assistant Sun was secretly complaining, but he didn't dare to say it at all, saying yes again and again.

When Gu Shi'an woke up the next morning, it was past eight o'clock, and he had just finished washing when there was a knock on the door.She quickly went to open the door, and Qin Tang was standing outside the door, saying that the ticket had already been booked for noon, and asked her to have breakfast first.

Gu Shi'an had already packed everything, closed the door and followed him to the elevator.When she left, she intentionally or unintentionally looked at the rooms on both sides, and the doors were tightly closed.

Chen Xiao's room is obviously on the same floor, and there were so many "coincidences" when she came here, she originally thought that there would be coincidences when she went back.But it didn't. Until she and Qin Tang left the hotel, they didn't see Chen Xiao.

Not only did he not see Chen Xiao in R city, he didn't even see him back in Lincheng.Chen Xiao seemed to have disappeared out of thin air.

Although the party from City R has confirmed that her father definitely did not commit suicide.But there is still no evidence to prove that it was not an accident.

The only thing that can be checked is the involvement of the project that year.There may be something unknown in it.

But this project was many years ago, and it was only in the preparations.I don't even know who was involved in it.It is undoubtedly difficult to find out.

Qin Tang still told her not to worry about anything, and he would investigate.But he was just an outsider, so it would be so easy to investigate.

To find out about her father's old affairs, in fact, the best way is to enter Gu's.Only when you go inside will you know how deep the water is inside.

This was the first time that Gu Shi'an had the idea of ​​joining the Gu family. This idea was like a weed growing wildly, and it became out of control.

But it is obviously not easy for her to enter the Gu family.She didn't even need to think about it, she knew that she would definitely be opposed by everyone.

She is not in Gu's, and everyone is worried that the old lady will give her the shares.If she proposes to go in, I'm afraid she will be regarded as a thorn in the side.

But no matter how difficult it is, she must go in.

Gu Shi'an took a breath, just about to use Gu's excuse.Her cell phone rang.

It was Chang Li who called, and she just said hello, and Chang Li on the other end of the phone said: "They said that someone seemed to be checking on that person recently."

Gu Shi'an didn't realize what she was talking about for a while, but when he did, he realized that the person Chang Xi was talking about was referring to the person who kidnapped her.

She was slightly startled now.Her reaction was quick, and she immediately remembered what Chen Xiao asked her in the hotel that day.

She hesitated slightly, and said, "Could it be Chen Xiao? Last time he asked me if I've found someone."

Chang Li fell silent on the other end of the phone, and after a while, he said, "I see."

The people around that person have been carefully selected, and this matter has always been kept secret.If I let that person know that someone leaked the news, I'm afraid there will be another round of bloodbath around me.

Now that the person is in their hands, she knows that as long as she keeps paying attention, the news will be revealed sooner or later.However, she did not expect that Chen Xiao would be the first to know.And, you will know so soon.And, act in sync with them.
