in a private room in the gu industries headquarters.
after gu jingze entered, the people inside stood up one after another solemnly and respectfully.
"how long has he been missing?" he shrugged his coat off and tossed it onto his chair. a chill burst forth on his well-defined face.
"according to the maids, master gu had arranged to play mahjong with someone. he did not return after going out. his group of mahjong friends also said that master gu did not even go over."
gu qigang had gone missing.
and at the moment, no one knew where gu qigang had gone.
gu jingze looked at the people in the private room. "everyone who knows about this matter is in this room today. all of you are my trusted aides. even if youre scattered in different areas of the gu family, all of you are my people. you should know what to do to the outsiders."
"yes, master."
the head of the gu family had his own group of trusted aides. these people had been the trusted aides for years on end. it was only after becoming the head of the gu family that one could know their names and their positions. if not for this incident, to date, they themselves would not even know who else was part of the group.
and the few people who had gathered here today were but a part of the group.
their positions were inherited from their forefathers. since they were born, each of them knew their future position. of course, they usually lived like ordinary people. but the moment something happened, they would absolutely be loyal followers of the head of the gu family.
at the moment, they were known by the name "m."
back then, they had been collectively called "man qin". subsequently, when the modern era arrived, their name was changed to a simpler one.
today, gu jingze had gathered a few of them here because of gu qigangs sudden disappearance.
"father gave most of his personal guards and shadow guards to niannian and did not have many by his side. but if someone wanted to take father away from his shadow guards and personal guards, it must be someone from the gu family," gu jingze said.
the others said in astonishment, "so, master suspects that this was the doing of those clan relatives?"
"thats right."
causing trouble at a time like this
was to be expected.
but he could not believe that they had used a method like this
gu qigang. there was no doubt that he was his father. but he was also a very unusual father.
he had never even assumed the role of a father for a few days in gu jingzes life. but at the same time, he was indeed gu jingzes father by blood.
"master, in that case, what do you want us to do now?"
gu jingze looked outside. "save him."
lin che was still waiting in the room. however, gu jingze did not return even after a long time.
she opened the door and called for dongzi.
"go and find out if anything urgent cropped up on gu jingzes end."
dongzi agreed and went out. she stood there with her hand holding her chin. she looked outside, unable to guess what had happened to make him leave abruptly in such an anxious manner.
right now, it was probably almost midnight.
mu wanqing called her all of a sudden.
lin che instantly felt that something was off. she picked up her phone. "mother, why are you calling so late?"
over the phone, mu wanqing said, "something happened, little che."
"what happened?"
"lets lets meet up and talk about it. its quite important."
"alright. in that case, ill go over and meet you."
"dont go to the gu residence. go to 36 qinghe road. its a place owned by my family. no one else knows about it."
before marrying into the gu family, mu wanqing was also from a prominent family. while the mu family was not a family like the gu family, it was nonetheless a family with a literary reputation. it had been a rich and powerful family for many years. they kept a low profile and were frugal.
