Chapter 21: Meeting the Father Again (1)

Zhao Yan panicked as expected. He left the meeting room full of people and hurried home. As he walked, he said, "Chuchu, don't cry. Tell Uncle, what happened?"

"Mommy... Mommy said in the afternoon that she wanted to go to the kindergarten to take a look... but... but she hasn't come back yet." Gu Chu sobbed. "Uncle, Chuchu misses Mommy."

Gu Chu was really worried that something bad would happen.

According to the plot of the original novel, the innocent Gu Manxi softened her heart and agreed to go to see the so-called "Relatives" after seeing Tang Chunxiu's tears. She didn't know that she was not visiting relatives at all, but the greasy director of the Li Group who was in his forties.

Gu Manxi even drank the wine that was drugged. In a daze, Director Li got her.

Tang Chunxiu found a group of people to break into the room and pretended to find out about the relationship between Gu Manxi and Director Li. Gu Manxi's reputation was completely ruined. In the end, Gu Manxi was forced to marry Director Li.

In the beginning, Director Li treated Gu Manxi fairly well. But later, under Zhao Manshi's influence, Director Li found out that Gu Manxi actually had a daughter, Gu Chu. He immediately felt that he had been cuckolded and his attitude toward Gu Manxi had changed completely. He was always beating or scolding her, and he would often hit and kick her.

After Gu Manxi got married, her life was quite miserable. Not long after, she passed away miserably. 

"Chuchu, don't worry. Uncle will be back soon."

After all, Zhao Yan had been in the business world for a long time, so he remained calm even when everything seemed to be going out of control. The more dangerous the situation was, the more he had to stay calm. He first comforted Gu Chu, then quickly sent people to check Tang Chunxiu's whereabouts.

The company was not far from the apartment. Ten minutes later, Zhao Yan rushed home.

Gu Chu's eyes were red. She sat on the sofa with her head drooping. When she heard the door open, Gu Chu was pleasantly surprised. "Mommy?"

Seeing Zhao Yan at the door, Gu Chu sniffled and said aggrievedly, "Uncle... Mommy is not back yet. She must be mad at me for playing on the computer in the afternoon. Mommy is angry. Uncle, I want to go and find Mommy."

Gu Chu had just checked Gu Manxi's GPS.

It said she was in the Empire Hotel in the city center.

Zhao Yan entered the room and bent down to carry Gu Chu. "Chuchu, go back to your room first. Uncle will go find your mother."

Gu Chu immediately hugged Zhao Yan's neck and shook her little head. She pouted. "I don't want to. I want to find Mommy." Just as Zhao Yan was about to say something, something in his hand beeped.

His subordinates had already found Tang Chunxiu's tracks. They said that Tang Chunxiu had brought Gu Manxi to the Empire Hotel.

Zhao Yan's face darkened. He looked at Gu Chu who was still in his arms. Zhao Yan sighed and compromised. "Chuchu, Uncle will bring you to look for your mother. But Chuchu, you have to be good. You're not allowed to run around, understand?"

Gu Chu nodded vigorously!

Uncle, don't worry. I won't run. I just want to ruin that Director Li's future!

Zhao Yan drove to the Empire Hotel. Fortunately, the distance was not too far. Half an hour later, Zhao Yan arrived at the parking lot of the Empire Hotel.

Zhao Yan got out of the car with his two assistants and left Gu Chu in the car. He said, "Chuchu, Uncle will go find your mother. Stay in the car and don't run around, understand?"

Gu Chu blinked and nodded obediently.

Zhao Yan was anxious. After locking the car door, he hurriedly took his two assistants to look for Gu Manxi. Zhao Yan's right eyelid was twitching non-stop. Why did Tang Chunxiu bring Gu Manxi to the hotel?

After Zhao Yan left, the huge underground garage was quiet.

With a click, the locked car door opened. Gu Chu got out of the car with her head tilted, muttering, "Uncle, don't lock kids in the car. It's not safe."
