family circle of friends

Chapter 39
This year's winter is earlier than usual.

Before November, the temperature began to drop, which caught people off guard.

Yuxuan stepped out of the car, a gust of cold wind hit his face, and he exhaled hot air.

In front of you is an ancient house with a history of one hundred years. Two stone lions stand in front of the gate. Above the gate, there is a long mahogany plaque with two big characters of "Gu Fu" written on it. Rivets, dignified.

As a big family with a long history, the Gu family still abides by some old rules, such as the need to open the middle door to welcome distinguished guests when they come, and the door is closed on weekdays, and all people enter and exit through the side doors on both sides.

Yuxuan's current status is not enough for the Gu family to receive them grandly, but it should not be underestimated, so Gu Tao, the housekeeper of the Gu family, waited at the side door early in the morning, and said with a smile: "My young master always talks about it when he wakes up in the morning. Will come over, let me see, and lead you directly to him!"

Today is Gu Ningjiu's birthday, and the Gu family didn't plan to make a big event. They only invited relatives, friends, and classmates that Gu Ningjiu made friends with at school.

This is also the reason why Yuxuan came to the Gu family this time!
"Please lead the way!"

He followed Gu Tao into Gu's house, behind him was the driver Lin Ping, holding a birthday present in his hand.

The house is a typical courtyard house, with six front and rear entrances, and a rockery pool attached, with a large area.

Although the Gu family has separated, more than a dozen people still live together, which seems to be a thriving population.

Walk forward along a stone path, pass through the arch, and then come to the courtyard where Gu Ningjiu lives.

In front is a row of red-lacquered wooden houses with carved beams and painted buildings, which are antique and fragrant. Being in them seems to have returned to ancient times.

Before he could enter the yard, Gu Ningjiu, who heard the news, ran out, her chubby body jerked and complained, "Boss, why did you come here? All the flowers I've been waiting for are gone!"

"There is a traffic jam on the road!" Yu Xuan explained.

Gu Ningjiu grabbed his hand and ran forward: "Go, go, I have something good to give you!"

"Wait a minute, don't you want a birthday present?"

"What is it?"

"This remote control plane is given by me, and this box of snacks is made by Luoluo!"

Yuxuan paused, a little gloating: "Luoluo said it was her wish, and you must finish it!"

Gu Ningjiu looked moved: "Luoluo is so nice! By the way, why didn't she come today?"

"I have a cold, rest at home!"

Not only did Luoluo not come, but also Steward Liu did not follow. He was on a business trip with his grandfather, so Lin Ping was asked to accompany Yuxuan.

Gu Ningjiu was a little disappointed, but quickly recovered: "Boss, you take my gift back and show it to Luoluo, she will be happy!"

He made such a vow, which aroused Yuxuan's curiosity, but before leaving with him, Yuxuan first met the elders of the Gu family, chatted for a few words, and then left.

Gu Ningjiu dragged him to the back garden, and finally came to a large wing room with underfloor heating, and the temperature was suitable.

"bread!"

Gu Ningjiu yelled inside, and the answer was a cheerful 'Wow'.

I saw a golden retriever rushing out from behind the screen, its long hair shaking as it ran, as if wearing a majestic cape.

It stuck out its tongue and threw itself into Gu Ningjiu's arms, very happy.

And behind the big dog, eight small golden retrievers ran out with a whoosh, moving their short legs, barking in a milky voice, full of momentum.

Yuxuan looked surprised.

These little milk dogs were not afraid of people, they circled around him, and two of them stretched out their little paws and crawled on him.

"Boss, do you like it?" Gu Ningjiu asked with a smile.

It turned out that this was the gift he wanted to give Yuxuan!
"My bread gave birth to eight cubs, and I can't raise them. Can I give you one?"

Yuxuan hugged a puppy and said with a smile: "I have no problem, but I have to ask my grandpa first!"

"Then you have to hurry up, or you will be snatched up by my cousin!"

Gu Ningjiu has a lot of cousins, and when cutting the cake, they formed a pile and chattered so loudly that Yuxuan's brain ached.

At three o'clock in the afternoon, the banquet was over, and Gu Ningjiu sent him away.

The car moved forward steadily, Yu Xuan yawned, sat in the back and closed his eyes to rest.

There was a harsh sudden brake, followed by a loud bang, and the car shook violently.

Yu Xuan only felt a huge force pushing him forward, his head hit the front seat heavily, the world was spinning before his eyes, his body bumped wildly inside the car, his mind went blank.

There was a car accident!

boom!
There was another loud noise, and the broken car came to an abrupt stop. Yu Xuan looked pained, his internal organs seemed to be displaced, his head hit the car door, and warm blood rolled down his forehead.

His eyes seemed to be covered with a kaleidoscope, full of scattered light, unable to condense.

Drowsy, he heard cursing, and then someone dragged him out of the car.

perpetrator?
passerby?

police?

Before Yuxuan could figure it out, his eyes went dark and he passed out.
-
That night, Shang Chengjun, who received the news, flew back to Donghai urgently. He sat on the sofa and watched the surveillance video silently.

In the picture, when the black car was crossing the intersection, it was hit by a white van that suddenly appeared on the right side. The huge force caused the black car to roll over and finally hit the roadside guardrail.

Then, a man with a mask on his head got out of the van, ran to the overturned black car, opened the door forcefully, pulled Yu Xuan out, picked him up and ran back to the van, and finally walked away.

Liu Yong looked solemn: "Today, the young master was invited to attend the birthday party of Gu's family. He was only accompanied by the driver Lin Ping. He was hijacked by bandits on the way back. After the accident, the police immediately blocked the scene and retrieved the surrounding surveillance video. The white van left. After the incident happened, he entered the southern suburbs, and then disappeared. The police launched an investigation and finally found the car in a field of reeds, but the young master disappeared!"

"The van is covered with a fake license plate, and the engine has just been replaced. It is a rare brand. The interior of the van has an obvious fishy smell, and the rear compartment has traces of hauling goods all the year round. I have sent people to search all seafood in Donghai City. Markets, repair shops, and abandoned garages, there should be news soon!"

"In addition, the physical characteristics of the culprits have been calculated by professionals, and the results have come out. Centering on the place where the incident occurred, all surveillance videos within a radius of ten kilometers have been mobilized. Our people are investigating one by one!"

"This is obviously a premeditated kidnapping case. It can be seen from the surveillance video that the kidnappers learned of the young master's whereabouts in advance and ambushed at the intersection for a long time, so the possibility of a traitor cannot be ruled out. I have sent someone to investigate Including the driver Lin Ping, all the servants in the old house have communicated with the police and completely blocked the news!"

Liu Yong explained them one by one in a clear manner.

On the TV, the surveillance video was played repeatedly, and the faint green light kept flickering. Shang Chengjun's expression was cold and stern.
