"Mommy! Where are you taking my Mommy?! "Tan Guiren's tears fell like rain as she threw herself at Cai Songyin.
Two tall men in the prosecutor's uniform blocked her with their arms and said sternly, "The prosecutor's office would like to invite Ms. Cai Songyin for tea. Please do not obstruct official business."
"Huh? Tea? It's so late. What tea? Can't we drink it tomorrow? "Tan Guiren widened her large doe eyes and looked at them in confusion.
Her nose and the rims of her eyes were red, but her skin was as pale as snow. She had a pitiful and pitiful look on her face.
Tan Dongbang quickly pulled Tan Guiren over and comforted her quietly, "Don't be scared, Little Darling. Mommy will be back tomorrow."
The people from the prosecutor's office looked at each other and extended a hand. Cai Songyin gritted her teeth and followed them out.
…
In the hall of the National Center for the Performing Arts, the lights slowly came on.
The Minister of Internal Affairs, Bai Jiancheng, stood up and said to his daughter, Bai Yueran, "Isn't it time to go?"
Bai Yueran nodded. "Let's go."
Both of their expressions were extremely calm. There wasn't a single trace of disappointment or disappointment from losing the election.
At that moment, Bai Jiancheng's phone suddenly vibrated.
He took out his phone and swiped it open to look. Surprise flashed across his face.
"What is it, Father? Is something wrong? "Bai Yueran didn't miss the change in Bai Jiancheng's expression and asked with concern.
The corners of Bai Jiancheng's lips curved imperceptibly. He quickly calmed down and even became a bit serious.
He handed the phone to Bai Yueran. "Look, something big has happened."
Bai Yueran took the phone from Bai Jiancheng suspiciously and looked down at the title. Her eyes widened in shock as she looked at Bai Jiancheng. "No way?! He just took office! "
"Haha, taking shortcuts for quick success won't end well," Bai Jiancheng muttered in a low voice. Aside from his daughter, Bai Yueran, no one else heard.
Bai Yueran lowered her head and carefully read the message on Bai Jiancheng's phone again before returning it to him. She said sincerely, "Father, you're still the most broad-minded. You stand high and see far."
"I've always taught you not to fuss over momentary gains and losses. As long as we have a clear conscience, we'll be able to remain calm regardless of the outcome." Bai Jiancheng straightened his clothes. "Come, let's go back."
"Aren't you going to comfort Prime Minister Tan?" Bai Yueran's eyes flashed as she looked backstage.
"I'm not going. Old Tan definitely doesn't want to see anyone right now, much less us." Bai Jiancheng said emotionally. He also turned back to look. "This matter was handled by your Uncle Gao from the Procuratorate. Go back and call your Uncle Gao and ask about the situation."
The head of the Supreme Procuratorate, Gao Caihui, was an old friend of Bai Jiancheng's and was considered a family friend of the Bai family.
"I understand, Father." Bai Yueran was now completely in awe of Bai Jiancheng, and her attitude was even more respectful than before.
As soon as they walked out of the National Center for the Performing Arts, the people from the Procuratorate escorted Cai Songyin out from the back door and into the car of the Supreme Procuratorate.
As soon as the door closed, the carriage was plunged into endless darkness.
Cai Songyin could only watch as the light outside the car window moved further and further away from her. She hugged her body and curled up in a corner of the car. Her heart was filled with fear and unease.
…
Gu Yanran was also a guest at the Prime Minister's inauguration that night.
To be honest, when she received the invitation from the Prime Minister's wife, Cai Songyin, she was quite flattered.
She had originally been racking her brains to get a ticket, but unfortunately, Gu Nianzhi wasn't there at that time. She also didn't have a strong relationship with the upper echelons of the Hua Xia Empire, so it was difficult to get a ticket.
So when Cai Songyin personally came to deliver the invitation, Gu Yanran was extremely excited. She expressed her gratitude to Cai Songyin and donated another one million US dollars to her husband, Tan Dongbang's campaign fund as a political contribution.
Cai Songyin saw that Gu Yanran was so sensible and wanted to rope her in to manipulate Gu Nianzhi, so she saw Gu Yanran in a new light.
At the inauguration that night, Cai Songyin even brought her daughter, Tan Guiren, to introduce them and talk to her for a while.
But before this friendship could take root, Cai Songyin got into trouble.
After Prime Minister Tan's inauguration, Gu Yanran received a text from Ye Xuan.
"Yanran, look at Weibo."
Gu Yanran opened Weibo in confusion. When she saw the headlines and trending searches, she almost couldn't believe her eyes!
What was going on?!
Something had happened to Cai Songyin?!
Her heart was in a mess. Putting away her phone, she found a staff member and asked, "May I ask where Mrs. Tan is? She asked me to go find her. "
The staff member had seen Cai Songyin talking to Gu Yanran before and thought they were close, so she pointed backstage. "She's in the VIP room over there."
Gu Yanran grabbed her handbag and walked anxiously to the VIP room.
Before she reached the door, she suddenly saw a few men in black uniforms walk out.
Cai Songyin was walking in the middle of them. She didn't have her usual smug self. Instead, her face was ashen. Her eyes were dull, and she had a jacket draped over her arm.
Gu Yanran could tell at a glance that Cai Songyin's hands were handcuffed, even though she had covered them with a jacket …
How could they be so fast?!
Gu Yanran quickly moved to the side to make way for them. Only after they left did she walk to the VIP room backstage.
There were Prime Minister Tan's bodyguards, assistants, and secretaries guarding the door.
Seeing that someone had arrived, these people said politely, "This is the VIP room. We don't accept guests."
Gu Yanran quickly said, "I'm here to see Miss Tan. I just saw Mrs. Tan … go out with someone."
Seeing that these people weren't moved, Gu Yanran continued, "I'm Gu Yanran. Mrs. Tan has a few words for me to pass to Prime Minister Tan and Miss Tan."
"Really? What did Mrs. Tan say? "Prime Minister Tan's secretary asked suspiciously. He wasn't fooled by her.
Gu Yanran said confidently, "Please go ask Prime Minister Tan. If he has no objections, I will tell you what Mrs. Tan wants me to pass on."
The secretary blushed at Gu Yanran's words. Rubbing his nose, he said, "Wait a moment."
He pushed the door open and said to the worried father and daughter inside, "Prime Minister, there's a Miss Gu Yanran outside. She said she just met Mrs. Tan and wanted to pass on a message to you and Miss Tan."
"Gu Yanran?" Tan Dongbang had some impression of the name but wasn't familiar.
Tan Guiren remembered and said, "Daddy, Mommy took me to talk to this Miss Gu tonight." She paused and said, "She's Gu Nianzhi's older sister."
"Gu Nianzhi's older sister?! Oh, I remember now. "Prime Minister Tan nodded and raised his voice to say," Let her in. "
The bodyguards, assistants, and secretaries waiting outside the door all made way for Gu Yanran.
Gu Yanran smiled at them and pushed the door open to walk inside.
Tan Dongbang and Tan Guiren were the only two people in the VIP room.
Tan Dongbang had just turned 50, but he took good care of himself, so he looked like he was in his early forties. He was tall, handsome, and elegant.
He stood next to Tan Guiren and was constantly comforting her. He even wiped her tears. His fatherly appearance made Gu Yanran stare at him for a long time before she finally said, "Mr. Prime Minister, Miss Tan."
Tan Dongbang looked up to see an elegant and beautiful woman standing in front of them.
Her long, black hair flowed smoothly behind her. She looked inconspicuous at first glance, but with a second glance, she was a delicate beauty that people couldn't look away from.
Gu Yanran was wearing a cherry blossom pink Chanel evening gown that night. Her collarbones were exposed, and her breaths rose and fell gently.
Tan Dongbang only glanced at her before looking away. "Is that Miss Gu? What message did my wife want you to pass on to us? "
Gu Yanran walked to Tan Guiren's side and looked at Tan Dongbang as she handed her phone to him. "Mrs. Tan didn't say anything to me. I was worried about her safety, so I came to see if there was anything I could help with."
Tan Dongbang had no idea what had happened to Cai Songyin. He was in a state of anxiety, so his mood worsened after hearing Gu Yanran's words. However, he didn't say anything out of politeness.
He also didn't want to look at Gu Yanran's phone, but as soon as he looked down, he saw the trending searches related to Cai Songyin.
Tan Dongbang's heart skipped a beat as he took Gu Yanran's phone to read.
He only read a few trending news articles, but he couldn't hold it in anymore. "How could this be? How could this be? What the hell is going on?! "
"Daddy, what's going on? Don't scare me. "Tan Guiren started crying again.
Gu Yanran comforted Tan Guiren and wiped her tears with a handkerchief as she said to Tan Dongbang, "Mr. Prime Minister, the most important thing right now is to get Mrs. Tan back. Do you know anyone in the Procuratorate who can see what we can do? "
Tan Dongbang shook his head and sighed. "Miss Gu, you don't understand. Songyin is in the Procuratorate right now for tea. We can't go there to look for her right now. "
If they went to look for her now, they would only give the enemy a handle and would do more harm than good to Cai Songyin's case.
This was something he understood.
Gu Yanran didn't know much about the Hua Xia Imperial bureaucracy, but she knew about foreign officialdom. It could be summed up in one word: throw money.
"Mr. Prime Minister, I hit it off with your wife the moment I met her. I really can't bear to see a good person covered in dust and a good person suffering. If you need help, please let me know. No matter if it's money or effort, as long as I can do it, I will definitely help you, "Gu Yanran said very sincerely and immediately won Tan Dongbang and Tan Guiren's favor.
"Sister Gu, thank you so much. You're the best. "Tan Guiren held onto Gu Yanran's hand with tears in her eyes and refused to let go.
Tan Dongbang pulled himself together and planned on going back to discuss their countermeasures with his advisors. He said to Gu Yanran, "Thank you, Miss Gu, for your timely help. We're still in shock from what happened today. I'll treat Miss Gu to tea another day, but I won't keep you today. "
"No problem, I understand. You guys take care and don't be too sad." Gu Yanran patted Tan Guiren's shoulder and turned to leave.
…
In Ma Qiqi's villa, Gu Nianzhi and Ma Qiqi held their phones and kept refreshing the news to track the latest developments.
"So even the Procuratorate made a move … How did it happen so quickly?"
Gu Nianzhi also didn't expect a long Weibo post would drag down the Prime Minister's wife …
Huo Shaoheng leaned back on the sofa behind her. He clenched his fist and rested it on his chin as he calmly explained to Gu Nianzhi, "Tan Dongbang became the Prime Minister as a dark horse, so many people don't like him. No one would let go of such a good opportunity. "
