To seduce her

Under the dim light, the shabby office looked particularly deserted.

On the mottled walls, cracks are like marks carved by time, silently telling the vicissitudes of the past.

Gao Yuchuan sat in front of the scratched desk with deep eyes, as if he was thinking about something.

Outside the window, the city’s neon lights cast mottled light and shadows through the dirty windows.

This office seems to be isolated from the world, with only the occasional roar of traffic breaking the silence.

Just then, there was a knock on the office door.

Gao Yuchuan looked up at the door and didn't say anything, but the door was pushed open from the outside.

Gao Yushan pushed the door open and walked in, breaking the silence in the office.

He looked around, and finally his eyes fell on Gao Yuchuan. He walked slowly to Gao Yuchuan's desk and asked, "Have you completed all the documents from yesterday?"

"No." Gao Yuchuan lowered his head and continued to flip through the documents in his hand: "We are speeding up the progress."

Gao Yuchuan was neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was calm.

He didn't come the whole day yesterday. Gao Yushan obviously knew about this, but he didn't look for him.

"Yeah." Gao Yushan paused and asked, "Yuchuan, how is Yaochu's health recently?"

Gao Yuchuan's hand, which was about to turn the page, paused slightly. He raised his head, looked at Gao Yushan calmly, and a barely perceptible smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It's okay." He nodded lightly and didn't continue answering.

Gao Yuchuan's voice was low and calm, like a pool of deep water, making it impossible to see through his thoughts.

Gao Yushan frowned, seeming a little surprised by Gao Yuchuan's answer. He walked up to Gao Yuchuan, staring at him sharply, trying to find some clues from his expression.

"Really?" Gao Yushan raised his eyebrows slightly: "That's good, I was worried about her health problems."

"Everything is normal." Gao Yuchuan responded in a deep voice: "There is no problem."

Gao Yuchuan's reaction made Gao Yushan obviously confused. He looked at Gao Yuchuan carefully, trying to read something from his expression.

But Gao Yuchuan remained calm and composed, as if the situation where no one delivered medicine to Mu Yian had never occurred.

Gao Yushan frowned doubtfully, but knew that he shouldn't be the one asking this question.

If he asked Mu Yian whether he had delivered medicine to Shen Yaochu, it would mean that he knew about Mu Yian's disappearance.

Mu Yian disappeared and no longer delivered medicine to Shen Yaochu, so the agreement between him and Gao Yuchuan was completely invalid.

Gao Yushan looked at Gao Yuchuan in confusion, and finally asked him: "You didn't come yesterday, I thought something happened."

"No." Gao Yuchuan explained casually: "Yesterday Yaochu complained that I didn't spend enough time with her and asked me to spend more time with her."

Gao Yuchuan's casual words were particularly harsh to Gao Yushan's ears.

He frowned slightly, his Adam's apple moving up and down: "I'm glad you're okay, then you continue to work."

Gao Yushan turned around and prepared to leave, but suddenly stopped, looked back at Gao Yuchuan, and said, "If there is any situation, feel free to contact me."

Gao Yuchuan didn't even raise his head and completely ignored Gao Yushan's words.

Gao Yushan felt bored and had to turn around and leave.

It was not until the office door was closed that Gao Yuchuan finally raised his head and sneered.

He frowned and took out his cell phone. The phone in his hand seemed to carry all his expectations and anxieties.

He took a deep breath and called Assistant Fang.

"It's me." Gao Yuchuan's voice was low and firm.

"Mr. Gao." Assistant Fang's voice came from the other end of the phone, with a hint of urgency: "Go ahead."

Gao Yuchuan: "Have you found Mu Yian?"

Assistant Fang was silent for a moment, as if he was organizing his thoughts.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Gao, we haven't found any trace of Miss Mu yet." After a while, Assistant Fang answered truthfully, "We're still investigating."

Gao Yuchuan's brows furrowed even more tightly, and he was silent for a moment, as if digesting the news.

He pursed his lips and continued to ask: "Did you find anything when you checked?"

Assistant Fang hesitated for a moment and said cautiously, "During our investigation, we found that your brother's people were also looking for her."

Hearing this, Gao Yuchuan sneered.

There was a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his tone was full of coldness, and he whispered: "He really knew it a long time ago."

The night before yesterday, when he came to his office to ask why the third dose of medicine had not been delivered that day, Gao Yushan should have known that Mu Yian had disappeared.

But Gao Yushan pretended that he knew nothing and just tried to fool him.

It seems that the person who delivered the medicine to him that day was no longer Mu Yian's man, but a medicine that Gao Yushan managed to get from somewhere.

We can't even be sure whether it is a specific medicine.

When he thought of this, Gao Yuchuan's eyes became even colder, and he wished he could rush to Gao Yushan.

Assistant Fang on the other end of the phone asked tentatively: "Then Mr. Gao, what should we do next?"

Gao Yuchuan pondered for a moment, then slowly said: "Keep looking, don't let your guard down. At the same time, send someone to secretly monitor Gao Yushan's people to see what they do."

"Yes, Mr. Gao." Assistant Fang responded. He knew that the search and competition had just begun.

Gao Yuchuan hung up the phone, with a determined look in his eyes.

Since Gao Yushan couldn't find Mu Yian, there was no need for Gao's family to remain in Gao Yushan's hands...

*****

----

Mu Yian, whom everyone was looking for, was hiding in a dark and damp basement.

Hiding in such a place again, Mu Yian hated the Gao family very much.

The last time it was because of Gao Yuchuan’s pursuit, and this time, it was to avoid Gao Yushan’s coercion.

In the basement, the air was filled with the smell of mold and damp earth.

She huddled in a corner, hugging herself tightly, her eyes revealing a hint of uneasiness and anxiety.

She held her cell phone tightly in her hand, with Qi's father's phone number displayed on the screen, but she hesitated to dial it.

As time passed, Mu Yian became more and more anxious.

Qi Xiurui and Shen Yaochu had stopped taking the medicine for a whole day, but the Qi family still hadn't come to see her.

This was extremely terrifying for Mu Yian.

She knew she couldn't wait any longer and had to contact the Qi family to get an answer. She took a deep breath and mustered up the courage to make a call.

The ringing of the telephone echoed in the basement, sounding extremely harsh.

Mu Yian waited nervously, fearing that the call would not go through or that the other party would not answer.

Finally, the call was connected and Qi's father's voice was heard.

"Miss Mu."

"How is it?" Mu Yian tried to make his voice calm: "Have you thought about my proposal?"

Father Qi hesitated for a while and said, "Miss Mu, can we have a face-to-face meeting?"
