The He family's subordinate said while trembling, "Miss Qiao seems to have vanished into thin air. We even went to Li City University to investigate, but there were still no clues."

He Weinian's expression was gloomy. Those two idiots from the Gu family wanted to get rid of Gu Zheng, but his target was Qiao Xi. If Qiao Xi did not appear, then it would be meaningless to wait for Gu Zheng to escape.

He originally thought that it would be much easier to get close to Qiao Xi after Gu Zheng was captured, but Qiao Xi actually disappeared?

"Gu Zheng, Gu Zheng! You're really capable! Even if you're captured, you can still arrange everything." He Weinian sneered.

On the other hand, Qiao Xi calculated the time. Today was the third day. The results of the jewelry appraisal should have been out a long time ago. Why was Gu Zheng not released yet?

Suddenly, Qiao Xi received a message on her phone. It was from an unknown number: [Miss Qiao, can you talk to me in person about Gu Zheng? You're his wife. You can't just watch him bear the crime of stealing a donated necklace, right?!]

Indeed, He Weinian had really contacted her!

Qiao Xi's eyes narrowed slightly. Before Gu Zheng left, he must have done something so that He Weinian could not locate her phone, but she could still contact the outside world. He Weinian could not find her anywhere, so he could only take the initiative to contact her and see her reaction.

After a moment of silence, Qiao Xi directly called that number.At this moment, He Weinian and He Wenxian were discussing their next countermeasures when He Weinian's phone suddenly rang. His eyes instantly flashed. "Qiao Xi!"

He hurriedly picked up the call and said in a gentle voice, "Miss Qiao, I've finally contacted you. You must have seen the news online. I want to make a deal with you…"

"I'm not interested," Qiao Xi interrupted impatiently.

He Weinian asked patiently, "Miss Qiao, can we talk in person?"

Qiao Xi knew that He Weinian wanted to see her for the sake of obtaining her blood. If she really went to see him, he would definitely do his best to make her stay. At that time, everything Gu Zheng had done would be in vain.

"There's no need. Chairman He, let's talk over the phone," Qiao Xi said coldly.

"It's hard to explain over the phone." He Weinian's attitude was still gentle. "Miss Qiao, you'll definitely record the conversation over the phone. I have to be careful. Please forgive me."

Qiao Xi sneered in her heart. He was indeed a sly old fox!

Song Shiyu stood outside the room and stomped his feet anxiously, afraid that Young Madam would agree to He Weinian's request.

Suddenly, footsteps came from behind.

Song Shiyu thought that it was a servant and could not help but frown. When he turned around, a cold face appeared in front of him.

"President…" Song Shiyu stammered. "You're out? How did you get here so quickly?"

Gu Zheng nodded, looking a little tired. His voice was hoarse. "I think it's better to protect her personally."

Even though everything had been arranged and the villa was surrounded by shadow guards, he still felt uneasy.

Song Shiyu asked quickly, "The internet is already filled with criticisms. Although Gu Corporation is still operating normally, business has been hindered. When are you going to reel in the net?"

"Three days at most." With that, Gu Zheng looked at the figure in the living room. She was on the phone.

"President, He Weinian contacted Young Madam and said that he wants to meet her." Song Shiyu lowered his voice and said, "Although Young Madam didn't have much of a reaction when she woke up, I think she was very unhappy.

"I know you're worried about Young Madam and are afraid that she'll be in danger, but seeing you in jail is the most torturous thing for her. When she saw those people scolding you online, her eyes turned red. She was in a daze when she was eating. After eating a few mouthfuls, she said that she lost her appetite. Actually, she really wants to help you, but she's afraid that she'll ruin your plan."

At this moment, Gu Zheng's heart felt as if it had been cut by a knife. The pain spread from his heart to his entire body. He knew that Xi Xi would be worried about him, but he did not know that Xi Xi was suffering so much.

Gu Zheng quickly entered the room. Qiao Xi replied with an impatient expression, "I've made myself very clear. I…"

Before she could finish, her voice suddenly stopped. She looked at the man in front of her in shock. His suit was not wrinkled at all, and his hair was not messy. However, he looked a little tired.

Qiao Xi covered her cell phone, afraid that He Weinian would notice.

On the other end of the phone, He Weinian was still tempting her. "Miss Qiao, for Ah Zheng's sake, we have to meet. I think you'll agree to my request."

As soon as he finished speaking, Qiao Xi fell silent and only looked at Gu Zheng in a daze.

Song Shiyu made a phone gesture behind him before Qiao Xi came back to her senses and hung up.
