Chapter 561: Chapter 561: Homeless Dog

If her daughter had been terrified or stupefied at the time, the consequences might have been much more serious than they were now.

Instead of coming home completely unharmed.

A group of people surrounded Gu Qiaoqiao and Gu Qianqian as they entered the house.

At this time, Gu Qingfeng still hadn’t returned.

Gu Qiaoqiao quickly realized that Gu Qingfeng was undoubtedly waiting for Gu Cheng.

As for how things would end up, that was still unknown.

Gu Qianqian finally found a chance to ask her sister how she knew she was in trouble.

Gu Qiaoqiao looked intently at her sister for a moment, then embraced her and half-jokingly said, “Telepathy.”

Qianqian rested her head on her sister’s shoulder, tears shimmering in her eyes, yet she did not inquire further about this telepathy.

But she knew that her sister loved her family with a compensatory kind of love.

…

By the time the sun set behind West Mountain, Steward Wu was driving and finally reached the base of East Mountain.

As usual, he waited at the base of the mountain while Ning Wanru went up the mountain.

Some things could no longer be clearly explained over the phone.

They had to meet in person.

The wind quietly swept through the courtyard, lifting a strand of Ning Wanru’s white hair, making her appear even older.

The formerly ageless and elegant Ning Wanru blurred by the years was no more.

At this moment, she was completely panicked, like a dog who had lost its home.

Lin Fanpeng frowned as he saw Ning Wanru walk in, knowing without asking that something had gone wrong again.

The plan had failed, and he guessed that Ning Wanru’s people had probably been caught.

He sat in a wicker chair, had his subordinate pour a cup of tea for Ning Wanru, and then waited for her to speak.

Ning Wanru drank half a cup of tea before she felt much better.

The weather wasn’t hot, yet she felt as though flames were flickering in her throat.

Then, she went on to tell Lin Fanpeng everything that had happened that day in detail.

Lin Fanpeng was not surprised, as it was almost as he had guessed.

He frowned and asked, “Do you want me to help you fish those people out?”

To his surprise, Ning Wanru shook her head and said in a grave voice, “No, even if those three are jailed, they will push all the blame onto jealousy, and even if there is a penalty, it won’t be severe. As for Yalan, it’s more likely the charges will be dropped.”

Indeed, the bodyguards would definitely cling to the matter of Gu Yalan’s jealousy; they were at most accomplices.

And since no one had died, they couldn’t be sentenced to death.

As long as no one died, everything could be discussed.

“Then what else are you worried about?” Lin Fanpeng asked indifferently.

Ning Wanru looked at the man before her and suddenly said, “Haven’t you noticed, all this doesn’t add up?”

“I have noticed…” Lin Fanpeng calmly said, “You’re referring to Gu Qiaoqiao, right?”

“Yes, you once said she is a variable, but this variable is too weird, too bizarre,” Ning Wanru clenched her hands, “How did Gu Qiaoqiao find out so quickly that Gu Qianqian had been kidnapped and how did she know which route the car was taking?”

At that time, they hadn’t even called the police yet.

She herself didn’t know which stage the matter had reached.

It wasn’t until after they were caught that the call came through, and she knew the plan had failed.

At this moment, Ning Wanru’s face was pale, and her hands were slightly trembling.

Lin Fanpeng’s brow furrowed.
