Was there something wrong with the Ning family's brains? How could Gu Ruochu possibly know where Ning Tangxi was? She had not paid any attention to anything related to Ning Tangxi. Even if she had gone missing, it had nothing to do with her.
Gu Ruochu knew that she had to stall for time. At the very least, she would delay her captors from executing their plan as she thought of a way to escape.
Her life was in danger.
She did not know where Ning Tangxi was, and even if she lied, her kidnappers still intended to sell her off.
Gu Ruochu suspected that Ning Zongxuan was behind her kidnapping. He did not like that she was Zhang Yuan's biological daughter, and he was even willing to pay seven million yuan to get rid of her. Gu Ruochu was disgusted when she thought about her stepbrother. It was obvious that he was afraid that she would take over the Ning family's property.
Initially, Gu Ruochu was not interested in the Ning family's property, but now that Ning Zongxuan had provoked her, she vowed to herself that she would chase him out of the Ning family.
Gu Ruochu also felt that Zhang Yuan was naive. She had fallen for Ning Zongxuan's flowery words and agreed to execute his plan.
The more Gu Ruochu thought about it, the angrier she got. At the same time, she racked her brain and waited for an opportunity to stall her captors and escape.
"..."
When the chauffeur informed Mrs. Huo that Gu Ruochu and Cheng Xi had disappeared, she panicked. It would be problematic if Huo Nanchen recovered from his coma, and Gu Ruochu was not by his side.
"What are you standing there for? Get someone to look for them!" Mrs. Huo roared. She suspected that something was off. If Gu Ruochu and Cheng Xi had been kidnapped, their captors would have already contacted the Huo family and asked for ransom money.
However, there had been no phone calls from the kidnappers.
Mrs. Huo's expression turned serious as she stood up and walked towards the door.
She immediately took out her phone and called all of Gu Ruochu's friends to tell them about the kidnapping.
"What did you say? Ruochu is missing!"
Yang Xi stood up, and her heart skipped a beat. She looked at An Shaosi and said anxiously, "An Shaosi, you should get your men and go out to find Ruochu!"
"You don't need to be anxious. My men are already searching for her." An Shaosi tried to put on a brave face, but he was secretly worried. His men had been searching for several hours, but they had not found any trace of Gu Ruochu.
An Shaosi could not understand why his men had failed to find Gu Ruochu. Perhaps the people who had kidnapped her and Cheng Xi were from some random organization.
It was a pity that Huo Nanchen was not awake. He always knew how to solve such problems. The wet weather had made it harder for An Shaosi's men to track Gu Ruochu's location using their sniffer dogs.
Even though An Shaosi tried to reassure her, Yang Xi felt uneasy.
Who would have the guts to kidnap a woman of Gu Ruochu's status?
The more Yang Xi thought about it, the more obvious it became. Other than Ning Tangxi and her brother, who else would have the courage to touch Gu Ruochu?
"An Shaosi, you should investigate the Ning family. I think they are behind Ruochu and Cheng Xi's disappearance!"
When he heard Yang Xi's statement, An Shaosi shook his head. "Why would you think that? Zhang Yuan is Ruochu's biological mother. There's no way she would hurt her own child."
"What biological mother? What has she done for Gu Ruochu since she found out that she was her daughter? She's been wavering like a fence-sitter. Who would want such a biological mother?"
"I already sent my men to investigate the Ning family. Zhang Yuan and Ning Zongxuan did not raise any suspicions. One is at home, while the other is working at the company."
If An Shaosi had found anything strange in their behavior, he would have made a move on them.
"I don't believe it. Ning Zongxuan has always harbored ill intentions towards Ruochu," Yang Xi replied. When An Shaosi realized that she wouldn't let the matter go, his patience began to wear thin.
