1236 Where Is He
At the side, his grandmother was still a bit worried. “We don’t know where this person is from. What are you going to do after bringing him back?”
Wang Li said, “He doesn’t look like a bad person. Saving a life is more meritorious than building a seven-floor pagoda. Besides, what if something has actually happened to their family?”
All the men in Wang Li’s family had gone out to work, leaving behind just the child and the women. There was a reason for the grandmother to worry.
But Wang Li genuinely felt that he did not look like a bad person. He was so handsome. How could he be a bad guy?
She actually brought him back. Then, she laid him down so that he could rest, and asked him what he needed.
He only asked her where he was. As expected, this was not C Nation, but M Nation.
He was afraid that calling the police would only lead An Lan to him as she was still searching for him.
Seeing as he had escaped, An Lan was definitely going to kill him out of worry that he would take revenge. She would not let him return to the Gu residence easily.
Gu Jingze asked for the newspapers and for access to the Internet to check out the situation here.
There was no news at all from the Gu family.
This was probably good news. It meant that Lin Che was preserving order in the Gu family very well.
There was no new information about Lin Che either, although she occasionally appeared in the news. It seemed that Lin Che was still doing very well.
As expected of the woman he had chosen. Even without him, she did not fall apart.
He was grateful for the years she spent in the United States alone. Although those days had been very difficult for her, she had learned how to be resilient and toughened up during that time.
But he, nevertheless, felt very sorry for her. He felt sorry that she had to face so many things alone. However, at the same time, he was unable to rush back right now.
—
In the middle of the night, Lin Che received a call from Qin Hao out of the blue. “Madam, we’ve received news that the An family just made a sudden move.”
Lin Che asked, “What move?”
“The An family suddenly mobilized many people to search for someone.”
“Are they searching for Gu Jingze?”
“We were unable to find out. They did not divulge this to anyone. But at a time like this, it’s too much of a coincidence.”
Lin Che said, “You’re right. Keep an eye on them.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Lin Che could not help the slight chill in her voice. Recently, while working, she had slowly become accustomed to using this tone. As she sat here and spoke now, she thought to herself. She had never imagined that one day, she would have to personally mobilize an army and command them with a chilling tone to execute so many vicious and merciless tasks.
At last, she also understood why Gu Jingze always randomly said that he was not considered a good person.
Indeed, there was no way a person in this position could be absolutely good.
But during the time she had spent here, she definitely understood Gu Jingze better and better…
In M Nation…
The next day, Lin Che instructed that she was planning to go to M Nation.
Hearing this, Li Mingyu immediately came to join in the fun.
“No matter how you put it, M Nation is my base. Wouldn’t it be great if I accompanied you there?”
Lin Che did not want him to get involved. But he was not wrong either. With Li Mingyu accompanying her, it seemed that she could go there with a proper title.
“I’ll release news that I’m going to visit my mother. Don’t cause trouble when we’re there.”
“Cause trouble… do you mean, hinder you in your search for Gu Jingze? Hehe. Isn’t it better if you can’t find him?”
Lin Che looked at him with a cold expression.
“Alright, alright. I was joking. Don’t worry. Anyone can die, but he won’t. He’s such an intelligent person. He’s not a person to be trifled with.”
Lin Che found these words so much more pleasing to the ear.
She was glad at the mention that he was able to escape, that he was amazing and would be able to save himself come what may.
That night, Lin Che took the Gu family’s private plane and flew straight to M Nation.
After alighting from the plane, she walked out with Li Mingyu under the accompaniment of the Gu family’s bodyguards.
While they were walking, Li Mingyu even nagged, “Gu Jingze’s plane is larger than mine. Eh. Seriously. It’s a pity that it will take a long time to get a customized plane like his. Otherwise, I would definitely buy one now.”
Lin Che could not be bothered with his nonsensical words. When they arrived downstairs, she saw her mother here to welcome her.
Su Cen was also very glad to see Lin Che.
But she saw that Lin Che was different from her usual self this time.
There were many people trailing behind her. They stood behind her respectfully and looked at everything around them vigilantly.
Their presence was also different. They looked majestic.
Because she had taken over the Gu family’s headquarters, these people had to follow her.
She was now tied to the entire Gu family. Her safety could not be taken lightly.
Naturally, Su Cen felt a little sorry for her. She also felt a bit happy that she was able to take on so many responsibilities. It meant that she had truly grown up.
But the price she had to pay for growing up each time was always very high.
Su Cen said, “The Gu family has so many guards.”
Lin Che turned around and looked. “We’re in a critical period right now. I can’t help it. I don’t have so many people with me when there are no issues.”
“Hn. Safety first, safety first.” Su Cen then saw Li Mingyu beside her. He did not look like one of her subordinates, so she asked, “This person is…”
“He’s my friend. His name is Li Mingyu. He has always had a few businesses in M Nation. He accompanied me here this time.”
“Ah. Li Mingyu.” Su Cen knew who he was.
She looked at him in surprise. She did not understand how Lin Che had become acquainted with Li Mingyu.
After all, this person did not have a stellar reputation despite possessing immense power.
Lin Che could tell that her mother was worried and said to her, “Mother, he’s a friend worthy of my trust. Don’t worry.”
Hearing this, Su Cen felt a bit more at ease. If Lin Che said so, it meant that she was certain.
Li Mingyu frowned. “Auntie, you seem like such a virtuous person. You probably won’t believe what the rumors say. I’m actually a very nice person. Really.”
Lin Che shot him a look.
Su Cen looked at the way Li Mingyu behaved. She too felt that he seemed a bit different from what the rumors said.
He did not look that scary. He did not look that evil either.
“My apologies. I’m always at home and I don’t really meet people, so I’m a bit ignorant.”
“Not at all, not at all. I was just joking, Auntie. How can you call yourself ignorant? If you were ignorant, would you have been able to give birth to such a good daughter? Daughters always take after their mothers. She must be so good because her mother’s genes are good.”
Lin Che looked at Li Mingyu in disbelief. “How come I never realized that you were so good at flattering people?”
“Hehe.”
Seeing that the two of them were very close, Su Cen felt completely relieved.
She also thought to herself that Lin Che was very impressive. She even knew a person like Li Mingyu so well.
They arrived at the Gu family mansion. Lin Che was going to stay here for the time being. As for Li Mingyu, he went back to settle his own affairs. At the same time, he instructed his subordinates to assist Lin Che in her search.
Upon Lin Che’s arrival, the person in charge of the Gu family branch in M Nation immediately came to meet Lin Che. She conveniently dealt with several miscellaneous matters in M Nation. That night, Su Cen stayed here to keep her daughter company. When she saw that her daughter only settled everything very late at night, she felt extremely concerned for her.
“Sleep early.”
Lin Che nodded. “I’ve settled everything. I’ll go and buy something first.”
“I can just help you buy it.”
“No need. I just want to go out for a stroll. I feel a bit dizzy after looking at numbers for the whole day.”
“Oh. That’s fine too.”
Lin Che took her things and went out for a walk. The supermarket was just nearby. She was planning to go there and take a look.
