The first half of that nightmare turned out to be true. Xia Wan's face was originally pale, but now it was even more ugly.

"Immediately send personnel to investigate all suspicious vehicles entering and exiting."

She pursed her lips and forced herself to calm down.

"Remember, you have to be fast"

"it is good"

Li Wei understood and hung up the phone.

"Husband, I need someone to immediately investigate the people Qiao Qiao has contacted in the past few days."

Xia Wan looked at Gu Shichen.

"it is good"

Gu Shichen didn't say anything. He reached for the computer on the bedside and put it in front of Xia Wan. His knuckled hands were wrapped around Xia Wan, and he kept tapping on the keyboard.

The densely packed code is rolling and dazzling.

After a few minutes.

"Okay, wifey"

Gu Shichen turned the computer to Xia Wan.

All Qiaoqiao's recent call records and information are displayed in detail on the computer.

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, looked at the screen, and quickly locked her eyes on the phone number that Qiao Qiao had contacted frequently in the past few days. Xia Wan didn't hesitate and called directly.

The phone rang for a long time before being answered.

"Hello, who is it?"

As soon as the voice came out, Xia Wan's eyes showed a look of understanding.

"Sister Wang, it's me"

Xia Wan's voice was filled with unspeakable gloom.

"Xia Wan"

Because of Qiao Qiao, Sister Wang and Xia Wan have met several times. They are not familiar with each other, but they are not strangers either.

Sister Wang didn't mince words when she spoke, and her tone was full of urgency.

"Ms. Xia also asked for news about Qiao Qiao, right?"

Xia Wan frowned, with a wary look in his eyes.

"Sister Wang, has anyone else asked?"

"Yes, there is also a gentleman named Wen, who is said to be Qiao Qiao's friend."

Sister Wang obviously trusted Xia Wan very much, so she told everything.

It turned out to be Wencheng.

The vigilance in Xia Wan's eyes relaxed a bit, and she asked Qiao Qiao about everything that had happened in the past few days.

Sister Wang was also worried about Qiao Qiao's safety, so she directly told Xia Wan everything she knew and what Qiao Qiao had said before.

Xia Wan's eyes were filled with a bone-chilling chill.

"You mean, the hospital where Qiao Qiao lives is Anlin Hospital?"

The deep meaning in her eyes was obviously thinking of something.

"Yes, that's right, it's a private hospital called Anlin Hospital."

Sister Wang told Xia Wan the detailed address of the hospital.

"Qiao Qiao seems to know a senior. Because of him, the hospital arranged the best ward for Qiao Qiao and hired nurses."

She sighed.

"That's why I feel relieved, so I didn't tell you."

"I see"

Xia Wan knew that Sister Wang only knew so much, so she hung up the phone after thanking her.

Xia Wan heard the teacher say before that Anlin Hospital is Senior He's property.

She turned her head and looked at her husband.

"Honey, I heard that Anlin Hospital is He Zhang's property. Can I give him a call?"

Ask He Zhang about the time Qiao Qiao was hospitalized and whether anyone suspicious appeared during this time.

Of course, Xia Wan asked Gu Shichen because she was worried about Gu Shichen's feelings. If it hadn't been for a reason, she wouldn't have wanted to contact He Zhang.

After all, when I was in school before, I showed a liking for myself intentionally or unintentionally, but I had no idea at all, and finally let it go. However, some time ago, the appearance of He Zhang still brought a little bit of excitement to my life. trouble.

So if he wasn't really anxious, he wouldn't want to contact He Zhang.

Congratulations?

Gu Shichen thought of that unknown man who kept calling and sending messages to his wife.

There was an uncanny depth in his cold eyes.

From this point of view, it is indeed a bit too coincidental.

Seeing that Gu Shichen didn't speak, a hint of understanding flashed in Xia Wan's eyes.

"It's okay if you don't want to. I can send someone to find He Zhang."

"Need not"

Gu Shichen looked at Xia Wan for a long time and said calmly.

"let's hit"

"Thanks husband"

Xia Wan kissed the corner of Gu Shichen's mouth, found He Zhang's phone number and clicked on it.

I originally thought that He Zhang wouldn't answer the phone at such a late hour, but I didn't expect that the phone was connected as soon as it rang.

"Xiaowan?"

The man's low and gentle voice came from the other end of the phone.

This man really dares to answer the phone?

The corners of Gu Shichen's mouth curved into an obscure arc, and his eyes, which were originally extremely deep, became even deeper now.

The cold gaze solidified the air in front of him.

"Sorry, senior, to bother you so late."

Xia Wan spoke.

"I want to ask you to help me with something."

Xia Wan's tone was anxious, but one could also hear the alienation in it.

"Xiaowan"

Where Xia Wan couldn't see, the corners of He Zhang's lips curved slightly.

"There is no need to be so polite between us"

He paused.

"If you have anything to say, tell me."

Between us?

There was no expression on Gu Shichen's handsome face, but his eyes were extremely cold.

Xia Wan didn't have time to pay attention to He Zhang's tone, and it could be said that he didn't have the intention to pay attention.

"I want the surveillance in Qiaoqiao's ward these days and the contact information of the caregiver who takes care of Qiaoqiao."

"sure"

He Zhang's tone was solemn, and then he said with a bit of worry.

"But, can I ask why?"

He Zhang played with the things in his hands, looking unpredictable.

"Feel sorry"

Xia Wan pursed her lips and didn't choose to say anything.

"If it's inconvenient, just pretend I didn't mention it."

Except for the few people in front of her, she didn't want to talk about this matter to anyone, and she didn't believe anyone at all.

Including congratulations.

He Zhang's hand paused, and then returned to his original expression.

Do you not believe in yourself?

He lowered his head, with a bit of self-deprecation on his lips.

"Senior He?"

"Convenient, as long as you ask"

He Zhang narrowed his eyes and spoke slowly.

There was something different in the unhurried voice.

"I'll have someone prepare it now and I'll give it to you later."

Xia Wan frowned, thinking that his tone was clear enough.

At this time, Gu Shichen had already answered the phone.

"Excuse me, Mr. He"

Xia Wan felt a little uncomfortable with He Zhang's concern. He simply ignored it and leaned directly towards the warm chest behind him.

On the other end of the phone, the curve of the corner of He Zhang's mouth froze for a moment, and then relaxed after a moment.

"It's not troublesome, as long as I can help Xiaowan."

"My wife said that Mr. He is a good man, and now it seems that is indeed the case."

Gu Shichen curled his lips, his eyes full of inscrutable.

nice guy?

He Zhang thought he was a rational man, but after hearing Gu Shichen's profound words, his face still darkened.

I want to say something, but I don’t know what to say.

After a moment of silence, Gu Shichen's voice sounded again.

"Mr. He will inevitably have some inconvenience when he comes here. To express his gratitude, if you need help from the Gu family in the future, just ask."

Gu Shichen's tone contained a unique sense of oppression from a superior.

After hanging up the phone, He Zhang's original expression turned gloomy. It seemed that every time he fought against this person named Gu, he would be knocked down a few times unconsciously.

"Gu Shichen, how long can you continue to be proud?"

The night is getting darker.

The assistant walked in quickly.

"Mr. He, everything is ready."

"Um"

He Zhang looked out the window, his eyes full of coldness.

"Mr. He, the Gu family and the Wen family have been alarmed. Their strength cannot be underestimated. If suspicion is raised on you, the consequences will be disastrous."

The assistant glanced at the time, with undisguised tension in his voice.

He Zhang looked at his assistant with an unpredictable expression.

"Afraid of being like this?"

The assistant pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.

After all, this is the territory of several big families headed by the Gu family. If he doesn't leave here for a minute, he won't be able to rest assured for a minute.

Being afraid means that you are still not strong enough, at least not yet.

He Zhang's eyes narrowed slightly.

When the matter between Xia Wan and the He family is settled, what he has to do is to enter here and compete with the Gu family.

Inside the villa on the other side.

"Mr. Wen, the taxi that appeared at the place where Miss Qiao disappeared has been found in Hanoi on the outskirts of the city. However, the car body has been soaked in water and the driving recorder has been removed. No information can be found."

Wen Cheng's eyes narrowed instantly.

Before he could speak, the assistant came in from outside the door.

"Mr. Wen, the driver knows it. No matter how I ask them, they say that someone bought their car at a high price yesterday. The only thing is not to transfer it."

Liu Zhang's expression also became heavy.

The assistant continued.

"Those people pretended to be fake when they were trading, and they also used cash, so this person didn't know anything."

All the details have been considered and it seems to have been planned for a long time.

Wen Cheng's eyes were filled with cold light. Fortunately, it can be seen from this that the ultimate goal of the people behind the scenes is not Qiaoqiao's life, but something else.

Although it wasn't good news, it still made Wencheng feel a little relieved.

"Keep looking"

"Yes"

In the Gu family manor.

Xia Wan didn't sleep all night. At dawn, she finally couldn't hold on and fell asleep. Gu Shichen kissed Xia Wan's cheek.

He slowed down his steps, and the warmth in his eyes disappeared without a trace the moment he closed the door.

Everyone in the manor was shocked by the chill around Gu Shichen, and they stood aside without daring to say anything.

Li Wei had already received instructions and was waiting in the study.

Seeing Gu Shichen walking over, he immediately walked up.

"Mr. Gu"

"Immediately send someone to investigate He Zhang. Remember to be more detailed about the purpose of coming here and his recent actions."

There was no expression on Gu Shichen's handsome and handsome face, which made people unable to get close and dare not look directly at him.

Gu Shichen didn't believe there was any coincidence. Everyone who appeared in Qiao Qiao's incident was suspected.

"Gu Yuan, how's it going?"

Gu Shichen's voice had no ups and downs, and no emotion could be heard, but it made people feel chilly.

"Gu Yuan's company has been controlled by our people. As long as you nod, we can do it at any time."

Li Wei reported the matter truthfully.

"Gu Yuan obviously also knows this. Now he can't sit still anymore. He sent some people to wander around the family and promised more and more rewards. His subordinates feel that it won't be long before they take action."

"Proceed as planned. I want to see Gu Yuan jump over the wall in a hurry."

Gu Shichen curled his lips without any warmth, and there was an icy chill on his handsome face.

"Yes"

Li Wei nodded.

Time passed slowly. After Xia Wan woke up, she asked for news about Qiao Qiao. After knowing that there was no progress, she couldn't sit still anymore and immediately drove to the villa.

Gu Yuan quickly got the news.

Why did Xia Wan go to Wen Cheng?

He seemed to have thought of something, and his gloomy eyes slowly narrowed.

Is it for the woman named Qiao or for Gu Shichen?

"Is there any news about the woman named Qiao?"

"No, we sent people to look for her in the hospital where the police said she was. There was no news about her. She seemed to have disappeared out of thin air like our people. My subordinates suspected that she had been kidnapped."

The man shook his head and expressed his guess.

Who on earth would do this?

Gu Yuan's eyes were full of deep questions.

"Sir, I feel that no matter who touches it, it will only be good for you, and there will be no harm."

The man looked at Gu Yuan.

"Although we only lost a few people, at least your fundamental goal was achieved."

Gu Yuan frowned. He really wanted to deal with this woman named Qiao. Firstly, he wanted Wencheng to suffer, and secondly, he wanted to cause trouble to Xia Wan.

Now it seems that both goals have been achieved.

Not only that, Wen Cheng and Xia Wan were distracted by this matter.

The Gu family will definitely relax at this moment, which seems to be a good thing.

"Xia Wan has shown up, but there is still no news about Gu Shichen. It seems that my previous guess is indeed correct. He must be in a state of shame now. We can also prepare to take action."

The curve of Gu Yuan's mouth was terrifyingly cold.

After so many years of planning, I finally reached the final step.

"Yes"

The man backed out.

Inside the villa.

"How about Wencheng?"

Xia Wan quickly walked into the room, her charming face full of anxiety.

"Do you have any useful clues about Qiao Qiao?"

"No, the other party is obviously well prepared, and all the clues have been destroyed in advance."

Wen Cheng's lazy voice was filled with helplessness, and there was a strong smell of smoke all over his body.

Xia Wan's hand clenched at her side into a fist.

She also checked the hospital surveillance bit by bit. There were no other suspicious people coming in or out when Qiao Qiao was hospitalized.

To be precise, there should be no other personnel except the caregiver.

By the way, caregiver.

After pondering for a moment, Xia Wan looked at Wencheng.

"Wencheng, there is one person we did not investigate."

Wen Cheng looked at Xia Wan and slowly narrowed his eyes, waiting for her next words.

"The nurse who took care of Qiao Qiao, you suddenly decided to ask Qiao Qiao for dinner. How could those people know in advance? And they set all these traps in the short period of time when Qiao Qiao received the call and when she was about to leave. .”

Xia Wan's voice was extremely rational.

"And judging from the surveillance, the woman has never been seen again since she disappeared."

From here, it seems that this nurse is very suspicious.

Wen Cheng's delicate and handsome face was filled with extreme coldness.

"I was negligent."

Xia Wan shook his head.

"Her existence is too obvious. The more conspicuous she is, the easier she is to be ignored. I didn't suspect it before."

As Xia Wan spoke, she turned on her cell phone and gave the photos and contact information that the caregiver had captured from the surveillance camera to the assistant beside her.

"Find this person."

"Yes"

The assistant immediately started investigating.

Country W at this moment.

Qiaoqiao was tied up, her hands and feet were tied to a chair, her eyes and mouth were sealed.

When she heard the silence around her, she knew that no one was watching and she immediately started struggling desperately.

As she moved, the ropes tied to her hands and feet not only did not loosen, but became tighter and tighter.

In the end, he fell deeply into Qiaoqiao's wrist.

In this way, Qiaoqiao didn't dare to struggle much.

Where is this place? How long has it been since the kidnapping?

She couldn't imagine what the situation she would face later was like.

Suddenly, there were several footsteps. The sound of footsteps was clearly in front of him. Qiaoqiao's body couldn't stop trembling slightly.

The blindfolded eyes were full of fear and panic.

The footsteps of several people stopped, and a voice sounded.

"Feed her"

"Yes"

The man's tone was very cold, and after a simple conversation, he walked closer and closer. Walked to Qiaoqiao's side.

The tape on Qiaoqiao's mouth was roughly torn off.

Qiao Qiao frowned in pain and couldn't stop tears from pouring out.

The man didn't care and put a spoon filled with food to Qiaoqiao's lips.

"Open your mouth"

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips and ignored it.

The man frowned, raised his hand and slapped him.

The man's hand was so strong that Qiaoqiao's face was slapped to the side, and there was a buzzing in his ears. First there was numbness, then a twinge.

"Stop!"

The voice that sounded just now scolded in a stern tone.

"Who told you to beat her?"

The man apologized immediately.

Qiaoqiao suppressed the pain on her face and looked towards the direction where the sound came from with her blindfolded eyes.

"Xiao Zhang, why are you doing this?"

The deep voice was full of disappointment and coldness.

When I first woke up, I was so scared that I forgot that this woman was the cause of my coma.

"Miss Qiao recognized my voice."

With the rising voice of the woman, the thing covering Qiao Qiao's eyes suddenly disappeared. The sudden light stung her eyes.

Xiao Zhang's innocent and harmless look appeared in Qiaoqiao's sight.

"Where is this place? Who are you? Who sent you here? What do you want to do?"

Qiaoqiao quickly looked around and found that he was not in a dark basement, but in a very empty room.

Xiao Zhang put his hands behind his back, looked at Qiao Qiao's panic, and said with a crooked eyebrow.

"Miss Qiao asked me so many questions at once, how can I answer them?"

"Okay, Miss Qiao, how about choosing the one you want to know most among your questions?"

Qiao Qiao pursed her lips, looked at the person in front of her and thought for a few seconds before speaking.

"What exactly do you want to do?"

"Of course we want to..."

Xiao Zhang started to speak but deliberately stopped.

"I almost forgot that I can't say sorry without sir's permission, Miss Qiao."

Xia Wan is an annoying person. The same goes for the women around her.

Qiaoqiao saw that the woman in front of her was playing tricks on her, and her eyes trembled.

She couldn't connect the woman in front of her with the honest woman who took care of her a few days ago.

"I forgot to tell you, my surname is not Zhang either. My surname is Jiang."

The woman interrupted Qiao Qiao with a smile on her lips, but there was no sincerity in her eyes.

Even his last name is fake. Would Senior He choose such a person to be by his side to take care of him?

Are you being deceived or are you?

Qiaoqiao thought of a possibility, and her slender and thick eyelashes trembled slightly.

"Do you mean He Zhang by sir?"

Qiaoqiao looked up at "Xiao Zhang"

Before this, she had never doubted He Zhang, but a series of things happened before her eyes, which made him have to doubt it.

"Ms. Qiao, let me advise you. In this situation, you only need to do as we say. As for other questions that should not be asked, it is best not to ask."

Xiao Zhang didn't expect Qiaoqiao to say this, and immediately became cold. It looks very distorted.

Seeing Xiao Zhang's avoidant attitude, Qiao Qiao felt more and more certain.

Unexpectedly, it was really He Zhang.

Why did he kidnap himself here?

Qiaoqiao thought of a situation and her eyes trembled slightly.

When she thought of this, she felt a chill running down her body.

He looked at Xiao Zhang coldly.

"Do you want to threaten Xia Wan with me?"

It was obviously a slightly raised tone, but the tone was affirmative.

"Miss Qiao is much smarter than I thought. Now that I have guessed it, there is no need for me to hide it from you. You just need to do what we said and we will never hurt you."

Xiao Zhang looked at Qiao Qiao with a curve at the corner of his mouth.

Since I don’t want my husband to waste too much time on this matter.

"Indeed, you are much more despicable than I thought."

Qiao Qiao said sarcastically.

"The matter is now over, Miss Qiao, it's useless for you to be angry anymore, why not cooperate with us. This way you can save your life."

Xiao Zhang sneered, walked to the table, picked up the phone and handed it to Qiao Qiao.

Qiaoqiao lowered her head and thought for a few minutes, then looked up at Xiao Zhang, her eyes full of ridicule.

"Then tell me first, how do you want me to cooperate?"

Xiao Zhang narrowed his eyes and said word by word.

"Call Xia Wan according to the reason we prepared for you and ask her to the designated location."

They found an excuse to ask Wan Wan out. It turned out that this was their idea.

A look of understanding flashed in Qiaoqiao's eyes.

"no problem"

Xiao Zhang didn't expect that his task of convincing Qiao Qiao would be completed so smoothly. He paused, his eyes full of doubts and explorations.

"Miss Qiao agreed."

"certainly"

Qiaoqiao looked panicked and a little guilty.

"Your target is her, not me. I can't risk my own life for her."

Her face was full of panic and she looked at Xiao Zhang uncertainly. Showing fear of being kidnapped.

"But as long as I do what you say, are you sure you can let me go?"

As the saying goes, husband and wife are like birds in the same forest. When disaster strikes, they fly separately.

This is true for couples, let alone friends.

"certainly"

The suspicion in Xiao Zhang's eyes dissipated a lot, and he immediately unlocked his phone.

"Call me."

"Telephone?"

In order to avoid exposure, they did not search Xia Wan's mobile phone number.
