Just as his car disappeared around the corner of the courtyard gate, another glaring bolt of lightning flashed across the sky, followed by a deafening roar of thunder. The startled housekeeper hurriedly retreated to the door with his umbrella in hand.
After closing the umbrella, the housekeeper realized that he had only stood outside for a short while, but his pajamas were already soaked, and his trouser legs were dripping with water.
The rain was so heavy that it almost blocked her vision. With the help of the sensor light at the door, the housekeeper saw that the ground in the courtyard was foggy.
It's dangerous to go out in such a heavy rain in the middle of the night. Mr. Gu has a fever and can't even walk steadily, and he's driving so fast. Could something have happened to him?
The more the housekeeper thought about it, the more worried she became. Without even changing out of her wet clothes, she ran to the landline and called Gu Yusheng.
The phone rang many times, but no one answered.
After the housekeeper hung up, she continued to call Gu Yusheng. She didn't know how many times she had tried, but there was still no response from Gu Yusheng.
Outside the window, there was another violent flash of lightning and thunder, which made the doors and windows clatter. The rain became heavier, hitting the floor-to-ceiling windows in the living room and making continuous banging sounds.
The housekeeper glanced worriedly at the bad weather outside the window. After putting down another unanswered call, she thought for a moment and picked up the phone again. She wanted to call the old mansion, but after dialing two numbers, she stopped again.
Old Master Gu was getting on in years, and he didn't want Old Master Gu to know what he was up to because he didn't want him to worry. If she called him now, Old Master Gu wouldn't be able to get a good night's rest. If Old Master Gu found out about it in the future, he would definitely lose his temper again …
The butler hesitated for a moment, then hung up the phone and dialed Lu Bancheng's number instead.
The phone rang twice before it was picked up. Lu Bancheng's voice sounded like he was asleep. "Hello?"
"Mr. Lu, it's me, Mr. Gu's housekeeper. I'm really sorry to disturb you so late at night, "the housekeeper said.
The caller surprised Lu Bancheng. He paused for a few seconds before asking, "What's the matter?"
"It's like this. Mr. Gu just went out, and he's running a fever. He can't even walk properly. It's raining so heavily outside, and his injuries haven't healed yet. I'm afraid that something might have happened to him. I called him, but he didn't pick up. I didn't dare to call the old mansion, afraid that Old Master Gu would be worried …"
Before the housekeeper could finish her sentence, Lu Bancheng understood what she meant. "I understand. I'll go look for him now."
"Thank you, Mr. Lu."
…
Gu Yusheng knew very well that it was impossible for him to find little troublemaker if he kept searching like a headless fly.
However, he was even more clear that this blind search was the only life-saving straw he could grab onto right now.
The weather was particularly bad. The rain was so heavy that even the windshield wipers could not catch up to the rainwater on the windshield.
Gu Yusheng rolled down all the windows, ignoring the rain pouring into the car. He walked along the streets of the capital, looking for her.
Even though he was sitting in the car, he was soaked in the rain after a while. The car was also soaked in the rain.
The stitches on his head and legs had not been removed yet, and he began to feel a sharp pain.
In fact, this kind of pain was quite good. It could stimulate his hazy, feverish brain and make it clearer so that he could look for her for a while longer.
