Gu Mohan's deep and narrow eyes quickly scanned the room. The person he was looking for was nowhere to be found.
He promptly pursed his thin lips and there was a sharp glint in his eyes. He strode in, every step he took was swift and forceful.
He pushed open the bathroom door. There was no one inside.
There was no one in the cloakroom either.
He had searched every corner of the room, but Tang Mo 'er was nowhere to be found.
This realization kept expanding and contracting in his mind. His muscular chest started to heave up and down and he gave a low and sinister laugh. How dare she run away with his son!
At this moment, Auntie Wu walked in with a bowl of bird's nest porridge. "Young Madam, it's time for dinner …"
Bang! The bowl in Auntie Wu's hand fell onto the carpet.
…
The entire apartment fell into a gloomy silence. Auntie Wu stood at one side, not daring to breathe loudly.
On the sofa in the living room, Gu Mohan leaned lazily against the back of the sofa. His long legs were not crossed but stretched out in front of him. He held a cigarette between his slender fingers on his right hand and furrowed his brows as he puffed on the cigarette.
The smoke lingered around him, blurring his vision. No one knew what he was thinking about.
At this moment, the apartment door opened and Yan Dong quickly walked in. He reported in a low voice, "President, I've followed your orders and got my men to block all traffic in Karghalik. I've conducted a thorough search but I still can't find Miss Tang. It's as if she has vanished into thin air."
Gu Mohan took a puff of his cigarette and lifted his head to exhale the smoke. "She wouldn't have vanished into thin air. It's impossible for her to leave Karghalik in such a short period of time. She's just hiding herself so that I can't find her."
"President, what should we do now? Karghalik isn't big, but it's not small either. Finding Miss Tang like this is like finding a needle in a haystack. Moreover, Miss Tang is pregnant … "
At the mention of the word 'pregnant', Gu Mohan's smoking became more urgent and his entire being became gloomy.
As long as she was still in Karghalik, he would find her one day.
But he couldn't wait any longer.
She had run away with his woman and his son.
More importantly, she wanted to leave him so badly. Even if he caught her, she would still run away.
How could he make her return willingly?
Gu Mohan slowly finished his cigarette and bent over to put out the cigarette in the ashtray. He flicked the ash off his trousers, took out his cell phone from his trouser pocket and dialed a number.
"Xiyan, let's get married."
He was going to marry Jun Xiyan.
He did nothing but wait here for her to come back.
He was betting on this marriage that she would come back.
She would definitely come back, right?
Because if she didn't come back this time, they wouldn't have a future together, and she wouldn't come back again.
He was forcing her. He had no choice but to force her.
This was a huge gamble.
…
The news of the marriage between the Gu and Jun families spread like wildfire throughout Karghalik. The night before the wedding, in the study room.
Old Master Gu sat on a chair with his phone in his hand. He was talking to someone on the phone.
"Hello, President Lu, congratulations. Mohan and Xiyan are getting married tomorrow. The Second Young Master of the Jun family, the President of Country Z, the only person who was as famous as you, Jun Mosheng, is finally returning to Karghalik after 20 years."
A few seconds later, Lu Jinwen's deep voice could be heard from the other end. He was laughing. "Congratulations to you too, Old Master Gu. Your wish has come true. Your grandson has finally married the granddaughter-in-law you like. The Gu and Jun families are united by marriage."
"Haha," Old Master Gu laughed. "I got what I wanted and President Lu also got what you wanted. You've been waiting for Jun Mosheng to return to Karghalik so that you can capture Lin Xuanji. But I don't understand, why is President Lu so sure that Lin Xuanji is with Jun Mosheng?"
"This is none of your business."
"Alright, alright, I don't care. Actually, President Lu, I really like Lin Xuanji. Do you know why? It's because Lin Xuanji has disappeared for so many years, but it's as if she has never left. President Lu is going crazy looking for her. Lin Xuanji didn't do anything, but she used her absence and time to … torment President Lu."
There was no sound on the other end, not even Lu Jinwen's breathing could be heard.
"President Lu, did you get someone to make the abortion pills that Mo 'er took in the hospital?" Old Master Gu asked with a smile.
This time, Lu Jinwen's indifferent voice was heard. "Oh, I thought it was Old Master Gu who got someone to do it."
Old Master Gu laughed loudly. "I don't approve of Mohan and Mo 'er being together. Actually, the person who disapproves of it the most is you, President Lu. It's obvious that your daughter likes Mohan so much, but you've never cared about your daughter's happiness. Your only motive is to invite Jun Mosheng back and capture Lin Xuanji. Didn't you make the abortion pills? Did you break up Mohan and Mo' er just because of that?"
"Ha." Lu Jinwen gave a low laugh. "I thought you were the one who made the abortion pills. You've never cared about your grandson's happiness. Even if he's your first great-grandson, you don't want him. You only care about the benefits of the wealthy.
"That's why many people say that I'm the same type of person as President Lu, cold-blooded and heartless.
"Since you know what kind of person I am, then don't touch Mo 'er.
"Don't worry, President Gu. I've been praying in my heart every day that your daughter doesn't come and provoke my grandson. How would I dare to touch her?"
The two of them were playing Tai Chi, and Lu Jinwen was the first to hang up.
Old Master Gu put down his cell phone. At this moment, the butler walked in front and asked curiously, "Old Master, did you really … make the abortion pills?"
Old Master Gu lifted his head and glanced at the butler …
…
On the mountain, in a bungalow.
In the study room. Lu Jinwen hung up the phone. At this moment, Butler Ye walked in front and asked in a low voice, "Sir, did you really make the abortion pills that Elder Miss took?"
Lu Jinwen placed his cell phone on the office table and lifted his handsome and deep eyes to look at Butler Ye.
This ambiguous gaze stunned Butler Ye, and he asked again, "Sir, Elder Miss is already asleep. She still doesn't know about Gu Mohan and Jun Xiyan's wedding tomorrow. Should we inform Elder Miss of this news?"
With that, Butler Ye hesitated and said, "Jun Mosheng will be entering the country tomorrow. This wedding is inevitable, but Elder Miss and Gu Mohan … everyone can tell that Gu Mohan is using this wedding to force Elder Miss to appear. If Elder Miss doesn't go, then Gu Mohan will really marry Jun Xiyan."
Lu Jinwen knitted his brows and did not speak for a long time. There was a gloomy and oppressive aura around him.
Jun Mosheng returned to Karghalik. He had waited for this day for far too long.
…
The next day.
