The next day, after Fang Qing called her grandfather yesterday, she finally felt relieved. Today, she was ready to go straight home. She even bought her plane ticket.
On the third day, the plane ticket was booked for tonight, which was close to midnight. She still had to go to the Gu Corporation to hand over some work matters first, and then inform Gu Cheng of her decision.
After Fang Qing finished dealing with the Gu Corporation’s work, she took the elevator to Gu Cheng’s office. However, when she walked in, she did not see Gu Cheng. She only saw Cheng Zheng beside her.
Fang Qing asked curiously, “Special Assistant Cheng when will CEO Gu be back?”
Cheng Zheng replied, “Miss Fang, CEO Gu did not come to work today. If you have anything, you can tell me directly. I’ll relay it to him.”
Gu Cheng did not come to work? Fang Qing thought for a while and finally sighed. Perhaps this last farewell was not necessary.
Fang Qing had been at Gu Enterprise for so many days, but Gu Cheng was not there when she came to say goodbye. It was indeed a coincidence.
Thus, Fang Qing placed her resignation letter behind Gu Cheng’s desk and returned to the elevator.
Fang Qing returned to her desk and briefly tidied up. Fang Qing had not been to Gu Enterprise for long, so she did not have anything special to tidy up. After putting some small items into her bag, she took off her work badge, placed it on the table, and walked out of the door of the company, looking back at the shining logo of Gu Enterprise in the middle of the building, she could not help but have mixed feelings. However, the feeling of relief definitely came first.
In the evening, Gu Cheng finally took care of everything at the tallest revolving restaurant in City A. after driving the oil back to the company, he rushed to the secretarial department and saw that Fang Qing’s desk was empty. At the same time, the table was empty, a bad premonition arose.
Gu Cheng called Fang Qing, but Fang Qing did not answer. He called Cheng Zheng to find out that Fang Qing had come to his office in the morning and left a letter. Then, he rushed back to his office to open the envelope.
After opening the envelope, he slowly understood that Fang Qing had been living in his home for so many days, and she had been in a depressed state during the time she worked at Gu Enterprise. He could tell that Fang Qing liked freedom. If it was not for the joke of his father’s generation back then… perhaps the two of them would not have had any interaction at all, just like two parallel lines.
That’s right, if Fang Qing did not want to stay by his side, then he would let her chase after what he wanted.
Gu Cheng took out his phone and called Ren Heng.
Ren Heng was currently holding a fresh air-delivered rose as he ran into the elevator. When he saw that the call was from Gu Cheng, he started to complain, “Brother Cheng, let me tell you, don’t look at how loud the restaurant’s signboard is. It’s full of tricks to trick people. I just went there and realized that the roses on the table were not far from wilting. Fortunately, I know someone who supplies fresh cut flowers. Let him immediately…”
Gu Cheng interrupted Ren Heng. “Cancel this meal.”
The flowers in Ren Heng’s hands had fallen to the ground. The dew on the flowers had not dried yet, and the ground was wet. “What… what did you say? Did I hear it wrong? Does sister-in-law not like this place? That’s fine. We can book another place to cut the line now.”
Gu Cheng was in no mood to care about Ren Heng’s words. He hung up the phone and looked out the window at the dark night. Dark clouds covered the sky, but there were no stars.
At this moment, Fang Qing was drinking her favorite black tea in the VIP lounge. Her hand was swiping through the news on her phone’s web page. The commotion outside had nothing to do with her.
Suddenly, a faint stabbing pain tormented fang Qing’s abdomen. Fang Qing immediately realized that she must have eaten something bad. She got up and walked to the bathroom inside the room, but she found that the door could not be opened no matter how hard she tried.
“When Fang Qing asked the service staff outside, they told her that today was the monthly maintenance of the bathroom, so she could not use the room for the time being. She could only go to the public bathroom not far from the same floor.”
Since the other party had a good attitude, and she did not have a particularly serious mysophobia, she walked out of the room.
However, when Fang Qing walked out of the room, she did not notice the service staff behind her flashing a smile.
There should be fewer people at night than during the day, but this rule did not exist in the bustling City A. After Fang Qing walked into the toilet, all the cubicle doors were tightly shut. Fang Qing did not have much strength to continue walking, so she stood outside and waited.
Suddenly, she felt a pat on her shoulder, and her eyes went black, and she lost consciousness.
When she woke up again, Fang Qing was in a completely black environment. Fang Qing tried hard to open her eyes, wanting to see the scene in front of her. In the end, her eyes were covered by a black cloth, and she could not see anything clearly.
As her body’s consciousness and functions slowly recovered, Fang Qing realized ropes tied up her hands and feet.
Fang Qing wanted to summon Yun Xiao. Although she had always carried her summoning device with her, it had always been in the inner clip of her clothes. She had no way of taking it out.
Just as Fang Qing was deep in thought, she heard heavy footsteps from outside. She knew immediately that it was two men.
After the door opened, Fang Qing hurriedly closed her eyes and pretended to be asleep, trying her best to expand her hearing.
The man outside the door came in and saw that Fang Qing did not move and sleeping soundly. His words were no longer restrained.
“Big brother, what do you think the Wen family is trying to do? Catching such a nameless person to benefit us, brothers.”
The Wen family! Fang Qing instantly extracted this information. Fang Qing did not need to think to know which Wen family it was. Only one family in City A had the money and ability to do such a thing.
The person called big brother opened his mouth and said, “Why do you care so much? There are plenty of scandals between the rich. Besides, this little girl is fair and clean, as beautiful as a fairy. You won’t find her anywhere else.”
One of the lackeys said, “Then big brother, why don’t we…”
Before he could finish his sentence, the lackey received a blow to the head. “What are you thinking about? Miss Wen has personally instructed us to wait for her to come. Since she hasn’t woken up yet, we’ll continue to keep watch and wait for Miss Wen.”
A few seconds later, the sound of footsteps became softer and softer until it disappeared from Fang Qing’s ears.
Wen Yan? Did she hate herself to this extent? It had reached the point where she disregarded the law. However, when she heard the two brothers mention the Wen family, Fang Qing felt that this matter was not that simple.
However, handing over her own life to others had never been Fang Qing’s style. Fang Qing’s hands were tied behind her back by ropes. Listening to the sounds of ‘da da da’ from top to bottom, she felt that this place should be a dark and humid environment. Thus, her initial judgment was that this should be a basement.
Fang Qing tried her best to move her body, and suddenly, she felt a gratifying touch. The wall behind her had a thin, uneven brick at a lower position. Fang Qing tried rubbing the rope in her hands against it, and the conclusion was that it was completely effective.
After a while, Fang Qing broke the rope in her hands. When her hands were free again, Fang Qing did not hurry to tear off the cloth on her eyes. Instead, she continued to slow down. She found the round beeper in her inner clip and pressed the button.
Yun Xiao came very quickly. Seeing Fang Qing tied up like this, Yun Xiao almost could not believe that this was his boss.
Just as Yun Xiao was about to help Fang Qing remove the anklet, Fang Qing said, “No need. You hide. I know you’re here.”
Yun Xiao was shocked, but he still chose to listen to Fang Qing.
Just as Yun Xiao was about to leave, Fang Qing called out to him again, “Wait a moment. Help me put on the rope I was holding earlier. Thank you.”
Yun Xiao was even more confused. Not only did he not tell anyone that he had been kidnapped, but he was also not allowed to be rescued. He had to come out himself. What kind of magical reality was this.
However, Yun Xiao still listened to Fang Qing’s words and tied the rope back. He also told Fang Qing, “If you are in danger, press that button at any time.”
Fang Qing replied with an ‘okay’, and Yun Xiao immediately went out.
That would depend on who would be the last to laugh. Fang Qing’s heart was abnormally calm now. The initial fear had slowly subsided. Now, she only wanted to see what tricks the Wen family could play.
Fang Qing closed her eyes and rested for a while. Then, she heard the voices of the two brothers outside. However, this time, it was less arrogant than before. It was more of a lackey and a fawning person. “Miss Wen, be careful. Don’t get your shoes dirty.”
Wen Yan walked towards the door with her head held high. She did not put the two people beside her in her eyes at all. She only said when she reached the door, “Hmph, you two will have it easy later.”
