“Little Pear?”
“Gu Li?”
Murong Si called several times from outside, but got no response. Anxious, he forcefully turned the doorknob.
He had imagined that the door would be locked from the inside, but it opens abruptly.
Murong Si’s complexion changed abruptly, and he rushed inside immediately.
“Little Pear—”
The huge room was empty, with no one in sight.
Damn it!
She was gone.
Realizing that Gu Li might have run away, Murong Si made a decisive move and placed a call, “Notify the airport. As soon as Gu Li is spotted, detain her immediately.”
Meanwhile, elsewhere.
Without her cell phone and it being inconvenient to travel, Gu Li, after pondering for a while, detoured to the nearest mall and bought the latest model of GT smartphone.
Fearing being tracked, she didn’t dare to get a SIM card and could only manage with a temporary internet card.
She quickly logged onto the airline’s public account and searched for a flight to Hua Capital City that night but found that the earliest one was not until 10 am the next morning.
Checking the time, she wasn’t sure if she could make it.
What should she do?
Thoughtful, Gu Li had a sudden idea — she started searching for a sea route.
To her surprise, there was a ship scheduled to pass by their location in two hours and head to B City in Hua Country, arriving there the next morning.
The journey from B City to the Capital City would only take two hours by highspeed rail. Calculating it, it seemed more reliable than flying.
With this in mind, Gu Li hurriedly booked a ticket for the ship. Soon after, she turned the steering wheel and raced for the international quay.
At that moment, Gu Li was unaware that her decision to take the cruise was the right one. After all, Murong Si had laid a net at the airport waiting for her.
“Report! We’ve waited at the airport all night and haven’t found any trace of Miss Gu Li. There is no record of her at the airport’s entry and exit points.”
“Report! Miss Gu Li left City C for B City in Hua Country via a cruise ship an hour ago.”
Listening to his subordinates report bad news one after another, Murong Si became furious and flung files from his desk onto the floor.
Damn it!
They were only one day away from automatically terminating their marriage agreement, just who would have known that at such a time…
“Master, now that Miss Gu Li is in Hua Country, should we set out immediately to bring her back?” Murong Si’s assistant cautiously asked.
Murong Si squinted his eyes, which gleamed with a sinister light: “Take the helicopter to B City. At any cost, I want her brought back to me.”
“Yes, sir!”
On the cruise ship, in the first-class cabin.
It was already late at night, and Gu Li sat in her seat without an ounce of sleepiness.
Every time she closed her eyes, she saw Mo Shiting’s handsome face uncontrollably appear in her mind.
Ah, what has happened to her Brother Ting?
Why has there been no news from him all these days?
Just now, she had specifically logged onto WeChat and made a video call, but there was no answer.
This was giving her anxiety.
Gu Li bit her lip, her heart ached faintly. She unconsciously brought her hands to her chest and took shallow breaths.
“You alright?”
A deep pleasant male voice echoed through the corridor, the cold tone carrying a hint of concern.
Following the voice, Gu Li slowly turned to look at him and gives a polite smile. “I’m alright, thank you.”
The cabin was poorly lit, and Gu Li couldn’t make out her neighbor’s features, though she could vaguely see his handsome silhouette — he seemed to be a good-looking man.
However, even if he was charming, Gu Li didn’t feel like starting a conversation.
So, she quickly turned back her head and ignored him.
Seeing this, Tang Yue pursed his lips slightly, his gaze deep and unreadable.
From the moment this young girl stepped onto the ship, he had noticed her. It was not for her good looks, but rather she reminded him of someone he knew.
After observing her for a while, he saw her occasionally clutching her chest looking uncomfortable, which elicited concern from him.
Unexpectedly, this young girl proved even more elusive than he was.
Tang Yue himself wasn’t accustomed to striking up conversations. In an instant, he gave up on trying to talk with Gu Li.
After all, even if she looked like the person he was thinking of, she couldn’t possibly be that person. Why should he trouble himself or waste his time?
Just as he was thinking this, his phone, which was in his pocket, suddenly vibrated, indicating an incoming call.
Tang Yue pulled out his phone and saw the word “Sister” on the screen. He glanced unconsciously at Gu Li, then answered the call.
“Hello, sister.”
“Xiaoyue, you scoundrel, how dare you go on leave without a word? Where are you? Come back immediately, I promise, I won’t make you go on blind dates anymore.”
