To seduce her

Let’s go back in time, ten minutes ago.

Gao Group, Gao Yuchuan’s office.

In the spacious office, the air seemed to be frozen, oppressive and heavy.

The sun shone through the tall French windows, but it could not dispel the deathly silence.

The clock hanging on the wall was ticking, and every tick seemed to strike Gao Yuchuan's heart, urging him to continue burying himself in the mountain of documents.

The work at hand started piling up when I went to L City to identify the body, and it has become quite a lot now.

He had to complete these tasks as quickly as possible while there was no news from Shen Yaochu, so that when there was news, he could go to her without any burden.

Gao Yuchuan sat at his desk, his deep eyes flashing with a sharp light. He lowered his head, reviewing the documents with full concentration, his fingers tapping quickly on the keyboard, making crisp sounds.

Suddenly, there was a light knock on the office door, breaking the silence.

Gao Yuchuan raised his head, staring at the door with sharp eyes, and said in a low and powerful voice: "Come in."

Assistant Fang pushed the door open and walked in, with a hint of nervousness and uneasiness on his face.

Just seeing Assistant Fang's expression, Gao Yuchuan's heart sank.

Assistant Fang, who is usually calm, only has such an expression when he fails to complete the task he is assigned.

As expected, Assistant Fang walked cautiously to Gao Yuchuan's desk and reported in a low voice: "Mr. Gao, the wife...is still not found."

Gao Yuchuan's eyes became even colder, and he raised his eyes: "The reason."

"We checked the surveillance footage and found that after she came out of the hospital, she got into a taxi. According to the surveillance footage, she got off the taxi outside an old alley. We found the driver and confirmed that she did get off there." Assistant Fang exhaled slowly, "But the driver said that the wife didn't tell him where she was going, and just asked him to stop the car at the entrance of the alley."

Gao Yuchuan frowned slightly: "Why don't you continue investigating."

"The alleyway that the wife walked into is very remote and not covered by surveillance video. Moreover, the area is very large, with old houses and closed doors and windows, and few people coming and going..." Assistant Fang explained: "It is indeed difficult to investigate."

Gao Yuchuan frowned even more tightly. The sunlight from the window shone on his face, but could not illuminate the haze in his heart.

Gao Yuchuan looked up at Assistant Fang and said in a deep voice, "Then we should knock on every door and look for her. We must find her no matter what."

Although Gao Yuchuan's voice was not loud, it was full of unquestionable power.

Assistant Fang nodded: "Understood."

Assistant Fang was about to turn around to do it when Gao Yuchuan's cell phone suddenly rang.

Gao Yuchuan raised his head and his eyes fell on the mobile phone on the table.

It was an unfamiliar number. He frowned slightly, but still reached out and pressed the answer button.

"Hello?" Gao Yuchuan said in a low voice.

A strange voice came from the other end of the phone: "Hello? Is this Gao Yuchuan? If I find the woman you're offering a reward for, are you going to give me money if I find her?"

Gao Yuchuan's face darkened slightly: "Yes. Provide effective clues, and the money will be transferred to the bank card you provided."

"I found her." The strange voice was sly and greedy: "You can send someone over, and I'll give you the card number right away."

Gao Yuchuan's heartbeat was slightly disordered. He tightened his grip on the phone and said, "Where are you? I'll be there right away."

"OK!" The voice of the person on the other end became obviously excited and proud: "I'll send you the address and card number. Come over quickly and transfer the money to me!"

After saying that, the person on the other end of the phone hung up.

Gao Yuchuan held the phone tightly, as if he wanted to embed it in his palm. He stared at the screen, waiting for the glimmer of light that might bring hope.

The air in the office seemed to freeze, with only his heartbeat echoing in his ears.

Assistant Fang stood in front of the desk, not daring to even breathe.

Suddenly, the phone vibrated and the screen lit up, indicating that a new message had arrived.

Gao Yuchuan stood up suddenly, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes, he quickly unlocked his phone and read the message. His fingers slid quickly on the screen, his eyes lit up.

"Let's go!" Gao Yuchuan stood up suddenly, the chair made a harsh sound behind him, and the neatly arranged documents on the table suddenly fell down and became messy.

Gao Yuchuan didn't care about the messy documents. He just walked away and said to the assistant without looking back, "Come with me."

Assistant Fang came over immediately, with a hint of confusion on his face, but still followed Gao Yuchuan's footsteps.

It was not until they arrived at the parking lot and saw Gao Yuchuan hurriedly getting into the driver's seat that Assistant Fang felt something was wrong.

Assistant Fang sat in the co-pilot seat and looked back at Gao Yuchuan: "Boss Gao, what happened?"

Gao Yuchuan turned around and looked out the window, his voice a little tense: "Someone provided a clue and said that Yaochu's location was found. Let's go there now."

After saying that, Gao Yuchuan quickly started the engine, stepped on the accelerator, and the car rushed out of the parking lot like an arrow.

Outside the car window, the scenery was rapidly receding, but Gao Yuchuan's heart had already flown to the place mentioned on the other end of the phone.

He gripped the steering wheel tightly, his fingers turning slightly white from the force.

Seeing Gao Yuchuan driving on the road at a speed far beyond usual, Assistant Fang frowned and looked worried.

He was well aware of Gao Yuchuan's longing and anxiety for Shen Yaochu, but the countless disappointments and scams before also made Assistant Fang full of doubts.

Assistant Fang has been with Gao Yuchuan for so long, and he has seen Gao Yuchuan excitedly follow the clues provided by the informant more than once, but finally return disappointed. Such emotional fluctuations will sooner or later make Gao Yuchuan collapse.

Thinking of this, Assistant Fang couldn't help but speak up to remind him, with a barely perceptible hint of worry and reluctance in his voice.

"Mr. Gao, do you really think this is true? We received so many calls and clues before, but they were all proven to be wrong." Assistant Fang reminded: "We have already found the location of the wife, and we will find her soon. You don't have to believe these scammers anymore."

Gao Yuchuan's eyes were firm. He glanced at his assistant in the rearview mirror and said firmly, "This time is different. The address is near the alley you found before."

Assistant Fang was startled: "Near the alley?"

"Yes." Gao Yuchuan's tone was calm, but he was obviously excited and couldn't hide it: "I think it might really be her this time."
