Gu Min was simple-minded and it was difficult for her to figure out what others were thinking. All these years, she had always felt that Wen Yi did not like her, probably because she was boorish and barbaric.
After all, Gu Duo was a well-behaved girl in the past. Although she was overly willful, she had never made a mistake in terms of etiquette. After Ye Huanyan came back and became the real Second Miss of the Gu family, she was so well-mannered that any script she wrote could be made into a high-quality first-rate movie in the country.
In front of Wen Yi, she had always been a little timid and did not know what to do.
"Are you a little afraid of me?"
Wen Yi asked.
Gu Min quickly shook her head.
"I am a little strict with you."
Wen Yi touched the handkerchief on her forehead and her face was pale. "Because you are too much like me."
Gu Min's expression froze and she looked up in surprise.
"I was the one who brought Duo Duo up. I spoiled her too much and neglected her spiritual world, which led to her current paranoid personality. Yan Yan wasn't by my side since she was young, but she's more like her father in her bones. You, on the other hand, are more like me. When I was young, I was naive and ignorant. I was hot-blooded and loyal. I was straightforward, as if anyone in the world could see through my thoughts at a glance."
"…"
"But it is easy to be at a disadvantage like this, Min Min."
Gu Min looked confused and hesitated. "But … didn't Madam meet Sir?"
"That's because I was lucky."
"I think my luck is pretty good too. I was born in the Four Seasons Villa and had many brothers and uncles to play with me since I was young. Later on, I met Second Miss, Young Madam, Naonnao, and Xiao Wu …"
Looking at Gu Min counting with her fingers, the loneliness in Wen Yi's heart lessened a lot.
It was good to be content with what one had.
…
"If I can't use my cell phone, then is there any way to contact the people back home?"
Chen Yin collapsed on the sofa with a bitter look on her face. "Why don't you try using the phone? I'll just use it. I'm not from the Four Seasons Mountain Villa. It's not like that He guy wants to catch me, right?"
Ye Huanyan frowned. "For safety's sake, let's not take the risk."
She needed to contact Gu Chi. Gu Liu had always shared information with Gu Chi. When he left, he had just found out that Gu Sinian had disappeared from the West Coast. Gu Chi must have a record.
Now that something had happened to the Four Seasons Villa, she needed to find Gu Sinian as soon as possible.
Naonnao yawned as he walked out of the bedroom with his bird's nest hair standing on end. "Mommy, I'm hungry …"
"Wait a minute. I ordered breakfast from the hotel. It will be delivered soon."
Ye Huanyan carried him up and put him on the sofa, comforting him in a low voice.
She didn't dare go out for the past two days. Almost everyone in Los Angeles was He Xiao's people, and no one knew if they could come back after leaving.
"We can't keep doing this."
Chen Ying sighed with a dejected look on her face.
"Brother Xiaobo asked when we're going back."
Naonnao's muddled voice came from Ye Huanyan's arms. Chen Yin answered casually, "Tell him in two days. It won't be long."
After saying this, there was a long silence.
After some time, Chen Yin was the first to jump up from the sofa and look at Ye Huanyan's expression.
Sure enough, he looked as shocked as her.
"Naonnao, what did you just say?" she asked anxiously.
"Brother Xiaobo …"
"How did you get in touch with him?"
Naonnao froze for a moment, then said matter-of-factly, "Code and program … Brother Xiaobo and I use this to contact each other every day …"
Ye Huanyan asked tentatively, "If someone is monitoring us, will it expose our location?"
"No. Brother Xiaobo designed an anti-monitoring program. If we're detected, the feedback address will automatically be sent back to another location. Brother Xiaobo said it's a diversion."
Brother Xiaobo.
It really did come in handy.
For the next three days, Ye Huanyan and Chen Yin kept an eye on Naonnao and asked him to contact Song Xiaobo remotely on the computer. Since Song Xiaobo's ability to take care of himself was negative, it wasn't easy for him to accurately find Gu Chi. Even though Gu Chi was at Haiyan Media, they only received accurate information three days later that Song Xiaobo had contacted Gu Chi.
After another two days, Gu Chi flew to Los Angeles.
The moment he opened the door, Chen Yin almost pounced on him and hung herself around his neck. She asked anxiously, "Did you bring food? I want to eat covered rice. "
They ate Western food every day in the hotel. After five days of eating, Chen Yin wanted to vomit whenever she saw steak and bread.
Gu Chi dodged her attack and closed the door behind him. He said in a deep voice, "I can't bring food on the plane. Let's eat after we get out."
Chen Yin wailed and threw herself on the sofa.
"Second Miss."
When Gu Chi saw Ye Huanyan, he lowered his head cautiously.
Ye Huanyan took a deep breath. "Are you sure my brother is in Los Angeles?"
"Yes, he's in Manhattan Beach."
Gu Chi had a look of certainty on his face. "That's what was recorded in the Gu family's database. When the speedboat left the West Coast, it was exposed. The tracker on the island tracked it all the way to the villa in Manhattan Beach, but my brother hasn't had time to find out which villa it was."
Gu Liu wasn't a god. He had just learned that Gu Sinian was taken away from the West Coast when something happened at the Four Seasons Villa. Where would he find the time to investigate?
Gu Chi was calm. Knowing that his brother and sister were trapped in the Four Seasons Villa, he didn't show any worry.
"There's one more thing. I've asked people to ask around in Los Angeles these two days. He Xiao didn't send anyone to check on your whereabouts. His target doesn't seem to be the entire Gu family, just Sir and Madam, so you can go out now."
As soon as he finished speaking, Chen Yin jumped up from the sofa and ran straight out of the door. "Don't wait for me for lunch. I'm going to find a restaurant to eat."
"…"
There was a cry of surprise at the door. Chen Yin, the reckless girl, seemed to have bumped into something. She kept apologizing, "Sir, I'm sorry …"
Ye Huanyan looked at the door helplessly. "Do you know what happened at the villa?"
Gu Chi shook his head. "We've lost contact with them."
"…"
"But Second Miss, haven't you been watching the domestic news these two days?"
Ye Huanyan looked confused.
Gu Chi frowned, and there was some worry in his eyes. He said carefully, "Pleasure Group's shares have been restructured. Mr. Ling Han has unconditionally transferred all the shares under his name to Gu Duo. Gu Duo also announced that they are married. These shares are Mr. Ling Han's betrothal gift to her."
Just the day before yesterday, the domestic financial newspaper reported that Pleasure Group's shares had been changed ten days ago. This directly caused the share price of Pleasure Group to fall several times. The board of directors was dissatisfied with Ling Han's actions and had already removed him from the position of CEO. The new CEO and vice-president were the Wen family's father and son.
Ye Huanyan's hand that was holding the corner of the table tightened slightly.
Was this what Ling Han meant when he said that he would take care of this matter?
Would he give away the entire Pleasure Group?
However, the entire Pleasure Group was not just his own Pleasure Group. It was the entire Ling family, the hard work of three generations. It was also something that Old Madam Ling would protect for the rest of her life.
