Chapter 191: Chapter 191 Gu Yan Was Kidnapped
At noon, Wang Qi told her that Yang wanted her to pass on the message that her assessment would be next Monday.
It’s now Wednesday, which means there are four days left.
For Gu Yan, every extra day is a bonus.
After lunch, Gu Yan rushed to the piano room, and Wang Qi couldn’t stop her even if she called out.
So diligent, yet there are still people who say she got in through the back door?
It’s the first time I’ve seen someone who got in through the back door working so earnestly.
After work, Gu Yan didn’t go home directly but went to the hospital to see Gu’s father first.
Recently, she hasn’t had any injuries, and she’s in a cold war with Tang Yuxiu, so she really didn’t want to go back early. She might as well see Gu’s father and linger for a while before returning.
However, at Gu’s father’s place, there’s always Mrs. Gu who looks at her unpleasantly, staring at her as if at a wake.
Gu Yan didn’t stay long either, leaving after half an hour.
Walking slowly on the street alone, now the sky darkens very slowly. At nearly seven, the sun stubbornly stays on the horizon without setting.
Suddenly feeling a bit uneasy behind her, Gu Yan looked back but never saw anything or anyone strange.
Could it be she’s overthinking? When she returned to the villa, the sky was completely dark.
Tang Yuxiu came back earlier than her today.
Even so, the two of them had no words to say to each other, as if they considered each other nonexistent.
Ning Wushuang went straight upstairs, Tang Yuxiu slapped his hand on the sofa, this feeling was truly damn awful!
What on earth should he do to remedy this a bit!
Tang Yuxiu irritably scratched his head, picked up his phone, looked at it, and put it down again. He couldn’t ask in the group chat; he definitely couldn’t!
This was a matter of pride!
Days of sharing a bed but dreaming different dreams.
This Saturday, after work, Gu Yan habitually went to the hospital to see Gu’s father.
Every time she bought something and went there, she left within half an hour.
After leaving the hospital, Gu Yan walked to the bus stop sign.
Passing a sparsely populated parking lane, a van suddenly stopped abruptly in front of her, and two strong men got out of the car. Before Gu Yan could react, they grabbed her from both sides and dragged her toward the car. One of them covered her mouth forcefully to prevent her from screaming.
Gu Yan made muffled "mm-mm" sounds, struggling hard, but couldn’t break free from the grip of the two strong men.
After dragging Gu Yan into the car, the man in the driver’s seat quickly hit the gas, and the van sped away.
However, this scene was witnessed by Xiang Linghao, who had rarely left work early.
He left the hospital, saw Gu Yan walking alone from a distance, and was just about to drive over to give her a ride when the incident happened.
He was too far away, and those people acted too quickly; he couldn’t catch up in time to save her.
He walked quickly to his car while dialing Tang Yuxiu’s number.
Tang Yuxiu had not long finished work and was driving home to the villa.
Hearing the phone ringing, he glanced at it, saw it was Xiang Linghao, and was reluctant to answer, wondering why he was calling.
He’s been in a bad mood for the past few days, and he didn’t want to give them a chance to laugh at him.
So he just kept driving, ignoring the call.
When Tang Yuxiu didn’t answer, Xiang Linghao frowned, got in the car, and tried calling again.
Damn it, ignoring his calls at a critical moment, Tang Yuxiu’s brain must have a hole!
Gu Yan must not have anything happen to her, not just because she’s Tang Yuxiu’s woman, but also because she’s Xue Xianglan’s best friend!
Xue Xianglan has always been loyal, and she cares a lot about Gu Yan; their relationship is very good. If something happened to Gu Yan, she would be heartbroken.
On the second try, Tang Yuxiu still didn’t answer the phone, so Xiang Linghao started his car and continued calling!
Tang Yuxiu’s phone kept ringing again and again, even if he wanted to ignore it, he sensed something was wrong.
They wouldn’t call if there was nothing, and if it was to mock him, they would stop after the first call was unanswered, waiting for another chance. But now Xiang Linghao was tirelessly calling him, giving him a bad premonition.
So he answered the call,
before he could speak, Xiang Linghao shouted on the other end.
"Young Master Tang, you finally answered the phone. If you didn’t, I definitely wouldn’t call again, and you’d regret it to death!"
Tang Yuxiu frowned, "What’s the matter?"
"I saw Gu Yan being kidnapped outside the hospital!"
On hearing this, Tang Yuxiu suddenly braked sharply, almost colliding with the car in front. He said with a sullen face and angrily, "What did you say!"
Xiang Linghao didn’t have time for nonsense, "I’m following the route they left on right now, you immediately track my phone and catch up!"
"Damn it!" Tang Yuxiu cursed, slammed the steering wheel hard, and immediately hung up the phone to locate Xiang Linghao’s phone.
Both of their phones had each other’s tracking systems installed. Due to their special identities and the things they dealt with behind the scenes, unexpected situations were not out of the question, and this tracking system was there as a precaution.
Since they were installed, this tracking system had only been used once, but this time, it was activated because Gu Yan had been kidnapped.
After locating, Tang Yuxiu called You Shuyang and instructed him to immediately bring his information database to locate his phone and meet up with him.
To prevent losing track of the kidnappers of Gu Yan, You Shuyang’s information database would be very useful.
Tang Yuxiu started the car, made a sharp turn, and pressed the accelerator hard towards Xiang Linghao’s location.
Damn, who the hell had the audacity to kidnap his woman!
Unforgivable!
It was rush hour, and the roads were very congested.
But, thanks to Young Master Tang’s fearless speeding and his flashy Bugatti, the way was almost entirely smooth despite the blaring sirens behind him ruining his domineering ride.
Tang Yuxiu didn’t care about any of that, he only thought about catching up with Xiang Linghao quickly, finding out where Gu Yan was, and how she was doing now.
Dare to kidnap his woman, no matter who it is, they must be prepared for death!
Tang Yuxiu’s face was grim, wishing he had the kidnapper in front of him so he could put a bullet in him!
When he caught up to Xiang Linghao, it had already been more than half an hour; his car was parked at a fork in the road.
Tang Yuxiu quickly got out of the car, walked over to him, looked around, the flow of people was small here, making it feel spacious, but he didn’t see the person he wanted to see.
"Where are they?!"
Xiang Linghao’s expression was somewhat grave, not very relaxed, "The other party seems to know someone is following, deliberately taking a detour. When I got here, there was no sign of the car on either side. There are two roads, I don’t know which one they took, so I waited for you to decide."
Tang Yuxiu was furious, "Who cares which road they took, just pick one, and then call me to take the other! Waste of time!"
Right now, he was extremely worried about Gu Yan, and for every minute they delayed here, Gu Yan might be in additional danger.
Xiang Linghao felt heavy-hearted and speechless, if it weren’t for him happening to discover Gu Yan being kidnapped and timely notifying him, he might have gone home to an empty house, only discovering the incident long after.
Fine, a man who lost his woman was in a terrible mood, he’d let it go, right?
You Shuyang also quickly arrived at this crossroads, along with the traffic police chasing Tang Yuxiu.
As soon as he got out of the car, he was about to help Young Master Tang handle the traffic violation, but Young Master Tang looked impatient, "Hurry the hell up!"
You Shuyang was bitter but couldn’t express it, this was clearly trouble you caused, not dealing with it yourself and then giving him such a bad attitude while he’s cleaning up, he wanted to resign ten thousand and one times!
You Shuyang sent away the pursuing traffic police as fast as he could, immediately taking his proudest information database, a super-thin laptop, and stepping forward.
"Quickly find out where Gu Yan is now!"
"Young Master, Miss Gu doesn’t have any tracking systems on her, it may take a while to find her, how about you each choose a direction to pursue first, I’ll track and notify you as soon as I find out, after all, there are only these two roads in this area, whichever side she’s on will shorten the rescue time."
"Alright, let’s do it!" Tang Yuxiu responded immediately, wasting no time as he got back into his car, made a turn, and sped away to the left.
Intuition, first instinct.
This side was sparsely populated, leading to the outskirts; as a kidnapper, he would surely choose a place with fewer people.
But the other side was also possible—it also led to the outskirts through downtown, with relatively few people. Xiang Linghao would take that side.
You Shuyang got back into the car and first attempted to locate Gu Yan’s phone. However, it showed the location as a certain street in the city center, meaning the kidnapper had thrown her phone halfway through.
You Shuyang frowned slightly, being this clever, it didn’t seem like a simple kidnapper, nor was it an ordinary kidnapping ransom, otherwise without her phone, it wouldn’t be convenient to ask for ransom.
He had earlier thoroughly investigated Gu Yan’s background; she was just an ordinary person, an adopted daughter of a rural family, average household, had been working and self-supporting since her teens, nothing suspicious at all.
Why would anyone target her and kidnap her?
Could it be because of Tang Yuxiu?
Their relationship was inadvertently discovered by others, so they plotted to kidnap Gu Yan while the real target was Tang Yuxiu?
But if it was truly targeting Tang Yuxiu, then relatively speaking, the style would be low; why kidnap outside a hospital in broad daylight?
You Shuyang couldn’t figure it out for the moment, decided to set it aside for now, finding Gu Yan was the most urgent.
He accessed the most hidden surveillance on the road where Gu Yan was kidnapped, found the license plate number, and started tracking.
After almost an hour of filtering through, it was getting dark.
Tang Yuxiu, who was searching along the road, grew increasingly anxious, glancing at his phone from time to time, waiting for You Shuyang to call quickly.
He had already driven into the deserted outskirts, the highway lined with tall trees, he had even passed sections with streetlights, found no trace of clues, and the phone hadn’t rung.
Bastard!
He cursed inwardly.
