CHAPTER 359: CHAPTER 219: A WOLF TRAVELS A THOUSAND MILES FOR FOOD

Gu Qingchen quickly drove his car down the mountain at such a speed that a traffic police officer on a motorcycle was chasing him!

"The black Lamborghini with the license plate number A9898, please pull over..." the traffic cop called out as he pursued.

However, Gu Qingchen turned a deaf ear and floored the accelerator, continuing to race forward.

At this moment, Zhuo Yufeng, seeing how desperately Gu Qingchen was driving, hurriedly drove over, cut off Gu Qingchen’s car, and then walked over to knock on his window.

Gu Qingchen didn’t roll down the window; instead, he stopped the car by the seaside.

The sound of the police whistle also traveled from afar, and the officers parked their motorcycles before coming over to check the license plate.

Zhuo Yufeng showed his badge, "Major Case Squad B, Zhuo Yufeng, we’re on a case..."

Upon seeing it, the traffic cop promptly saluted and then instructed his colleagues to drive away.

Zhuo Yufeng might have guessed what had happened; seeing Gu Qingchen’s frosty face through the car window, he didn’t knock again but chose to walk alone by the sea.

The sea breeze blew over, messing up his hair, and lifting the hem of his trench coat which fluttered in the wind...

And so did his heart become unsettled.

Gu Qingchen kicked open the car door and stepped out.

Lighting a cigarette, he walked on the soft sand to where Zhuo Yufeng stood.

The sea breeze continued to blow, and Gu Qingchen didn’t bother to smooth back the hair on his forehead, instead handing a cigarette to Zhuo Yufeng; there was no need for thanks for what just happened, but still, Zhuo Yufeng understood.

Zhuo Yufeng took the cigarette from Gu Qingchen’s hand and glanced at the handsome man, "Calm down yet?"

Gu Qingchen didn’t respond. What could he do even if he wasn’t calm?

Now, Bei Ran and the twins were in Gu Bohan’s hands. Gu Bohan wouldn’t hurt them; he’d certainly spoil them with food and comforts, but the bitterness of a family of four being unable to reunite was something Gu Qingchen couldn’t bear to see.

"Is there any way to pinpoint Bei Ran and the children’s exact location?" Gu Qingchen asked.

Zhuo Yufeng nodded, "Leave it to me! I’ll let you know as soon as there’s any news!"

Gu Qingchen looked at him, took a deep drag on his cigarette, not wanting to compromise, unwilling to compromise.

"The condition for the exchange set by the old man isn’t for you to give up your medical career and take over the Gu Group, is it?" Zhuo Yufeng tentatively asked.

Gu Qingchen snorted, "I’ve never cared about anything from the Gu Group! It’s always others who want it and can’t have it! I don’t want it but they insist I inherit it. However, I don’t believe he’s doing this out of the goodness of his heart!"

The current president of the Gu Group is Gu Yucheng; he has been working for the company since his graduation from college. Everyone thought Gu Yucheng was the undisputed successor of the company.

Gu Group, President’s Office.

The president’s assistant, Lu Fei, knocked and entered, "President Gu, there is the latest news. The old master has taken the eldest young master’s twins and Miss Bei Ran..."

Gu Yucheng had been immersed in the documents, but at that moment, he raised his head. Lu Fei had been his assistant for nearly ten years and wouldn’t hide his true feelings in front of him.

In that instant, Gu Yucheng’s eyes were like those of a traveler walking in the desert night, sharp and intimidating.

As soon as Lu Fei met his gaze, he quickly looked away.

Having been with Gu Bohan all these years, Gu Yucheng could easily discern the old master’s intentions!

"He’s still not giving up!" Gu Yucheng said coldly, "I’ve slaved away for him for more than a decade. I’ve been by his side for so many years, yet he still wants Gu Qingchen to come back to take over the family business? What am I then? Just a pawn laboring for him? Am I not his biological son?"

Lu Fei didn’t say anything while Gu Yucheng was furious!

Others may not know, but Lu Fei did.

Gu Yucheng was not only strict with others but also with himself.

He had very high demands for his work and managed the Gu Group with tight control. In fact, the outside world guessed that, with Gu Qingchen working at the hospital all these years, the Gu Group belonged to Gu Yucheng.

But then again, what does the old master’s wish matter to what Gu Yucheng can decide!

Both are his biological sons, yet the treatment they receive is so different!

Gu Yucheng pushed all the documents on his desk to the floor, scattering them everywhere with a clatter...

Without any further instructions from Gu Yucheng, Lu Fei silently walked out.

Gu Yucheng ripped off his tie, took off his suit jacket, and threw it on the floor. He walked to the floor-to-ceiling windows with his hands clasped behind his back.

The Gu Building is also a new landmark of City A, the tallest building in the city, housing the offices of the Gu Group.

Gu Yucheng stood by the window of the CEO’s office, overlooking the traffic flow below like ants, his to possess, not to be taken by anyone.

After half an hour, Lu Fei knocked on the door again: "President Gu, the cleaning lady is here to clean up!"

Gu Yucheng had already returned to his normal state, ignoring the documents all over the floor, naturally leaving Lu Fei to tidy them up.

Gu Yucheng only picked up a small photo frame from the ground, displaying the family portrait of him, Ji Su, and Gu Wanyao, the three of them.

Gu Yucheng placed the photo frame against his lips, gently kissing the mother and daughter on it!

They were his wife and daughter, the most important people in his life!

Hospital.

Since Tian Xin had not found Bei Ran, she naturally came to the hospital, and found Gu Qingchen: "Where is Bei Ran?"

Yang Junyi just happened to be there too, and he gently pulled Tian Xin aside: "Tian Xin, Miss Bei was taken away by Old Master Gu!"

"Why would he take Bei Ran away?" Tian Xin panicked, "He isn’t trying to snatch the pair of dragon and phoenix twins, is he? That’s a common tactic among the wealthy families!"

Yang Junyi softly consoled her: "Regardless, the children are Qingchen’s, and inherently part of the Gu Family. He just wants Qingchen to return to work for the Gu Group..."

"How can he use such despicable tactics?" Tian Xin fumed, "None of these wealthy people are good at heart indeed!"

"However, Miss Bei has only temporarily lost her freedom, so there’s no need to worry too much for now," Yang Junyi continued in a gentle tone.

Tian Xin sighed: "What should we do now?"

Perhaps it was Yang Junyi’s soft-spoken words that calmed Tian Xin down. Though anxious, she did not press Gu Qingchen any further.

"Without Miss Bei by Qingchen’s side, he’s the most anxious of us all. But at times like this, it’s even more important to remain calm," Yang Junyi looked at Tian Xin, "First and foremost, we must believe that as long as they love each other, they will overcome the difficulties."

After everything that had transpired, Tian Xin also realized that the feelings between Bei Ran and Gu Qingchen had deepened significantly.

"What can I do?" Tian Xin was worried, but had calmed down somewhat.

Yang Junyi shook his head: "We can only wait and see if Sir Zhuo can find any information about Miss Bei and the children."

Actually, the most distressed was Gu Qingchen, for his Father was but a mere title, having grown up with little interaction between them.

Yet now, this man was threatening him using the woman he loved most and his dearest children!

Tian Xin listened to Yang Junyi’s advice, nodding her head in agreement.

"Come to my office to sit for a while!" said Yang Junyi, "I will go to the ward first and come back in a little while."

"You go about your work!" Tian Xin looked at him. "I’ll go and check on how the house renovation is coming along! If there’s any news about Bei Ran, remember to tell me!"

"Of course!" Yang Junyi gazed at her tenderly, "Thank you for your efforts!"

Tian Xin sighed lightly: "How could it be hard for me! Speaking of hard work, you’re much busier with your job than I am! Alright, I’ll be off then."

After Tian Xin walked out, she happened to run into Zheng Tong, who accompanied Tian Xin to see their wedding house after learning the situation.

"Don’t worry, Bei Ran will probably preside your wedding ceremony. It’s so rare for a genuinely loving couple to get married, how could she not be the host?" Zheng Tong also comforted her.

As Yang Junyi was making rounds in the hospital, he received a phone call from his Father: "Junyi, your Mother fainted on her way back from work and fell, hitting her head and causing it to bleed. She is currently being taken to the hospital..."

"I will prepare immediately..." Yang Junyi said, rushing to the emergency outpatient clinic.

When Father arrived, Mother was lying in the ambulance stretcher; Yang Junyi hurried forward to check her condition and after an initial examination, he said to the nurse: "Call Doctor Gu..."

Gu Qingchen rushed over, "You stay with Uncle first, I’ll go perform the surgery!"

"But you..." Yang Junyi knew he was still agonizing over the situation with Bei Ran and the dragon-phoenix twins.

Gu Qingchen said softly: "Perhaps, this will be my last surgery..."

Yang Junyi’s heart was struck. For a person passionate about the medical profession, this was an excruciating decision!

Gu Qingchen understood how important Bei Ran was to him, and how vital the children were to his life...

But a wolf travels a thousand miles to feed; Gu Bohan, are you sure you want to keep a wolf by your side?
