Chapter 1223: 1223
1223 Something Had Happened

in a private room in the gu industries headquarters .

after gu jingze entered, the people inside stood up one after another solemnly and respectfully .

“how long has he been missing?” he shrugged his coat off and tossed it onto his chair . a chill burst forth on his well-defined face .

“according to the maids, master gu had arranged to play mahjong with someone . he did not return after going out . his group of mahjong friends also said that master gu did not even go over . ”

gu qigang had gone missing .

and at the moment, no one knew where gu qigang had gone .

gu jingze looked at the people in the private room . “everyone who knows about this matter is in this room today . all of you are my trusted aides . even if you’re scattered in different areas of the gu family, all of you are my people . you should know what to do to the outsiders . ”

“yes, master . ”

the head of the gu family had his own group of trusted aides . these people had been the trusted aides for years on end . it was only after becoming the head of the gu family that one could know their names and their positions . if not for this incident, to date, they themselves would not even know who else was part of the group .

and the few people who had gathered here today were but a part of the group .

their positions were inherited from their forefathers . since they were born, each of them knew their future position . of course, they usually lived like ordinary people . but the moment something happened, they would absolutely be loyal followers of the head of the gu family .

at the moment, they were known by the name “m . ”

back then, they had been collectively called “man qin” . subsequently, when the modern era arrived, their name was changed to a simpler one .

today, gu jingze had gathered a few of them here because of gu qigang’s sudden disappearance .

“father gave most of his personal guards and shadow guards to niannian and did not have many by his side . but if someone wanted to take father away from his shadow guards and personal guards, it must be someone from the gu family,” gu jingze said .

the others said in astonishment, “so, master suspects that this was the doing of those clan relatives?”

“that’s right . ”

causing trouble at a time like this…

was to be expected .

but he could not believe that they had used a method like this…

gu qigang . there was no doubt that he was his father . but he was also a very unusual father .

he had never even assumed the role of a father for a few days in gu jingze’s life . but at the same time, he was indeed gu jingze’s father by blood .

“master, in that case, what do you want us to do now?”

gu jingze looked outside . “save him . ”

lin che was still waiting in the room . however, gu jingze did not return even after a long time .

she opened the door and called for dongzi .

“go and find out if anything urgent cropped up on gu jingze’s end . ”

dongzi agreed and went out . she stood there with her hand holding her chin . she looked outside, unable to guess what had happened to make him leave abruptly in such an anxious manner .

right now, it was probably almost midnight .

mu wanqing called her all of a sudden .

lin che instantly felt that something was off . she picked up her phone . “mother, why are you calling so late?”

over the phone, mu wanqing said, “something happened, little che . ”

“what happened?”

“let’s… let’s meet up and talk about it . it’s quite important . ”

“alright . in that case, i’ll go over and meet you . ”

“don’t go to the gu residence . go to 36 qinghe road . it’s a place owned by my family . no one else knows about it . ”

before marrying into the gu family, mu wanqing was also from a prominent family . while the mu family was not a family like the gu family, it was nonetheless a family with a literary reputation . it had been a rich and powerful family for many years . they kept a low profile and were frugal .

lin che arrived and saw that mu wanqing was already waiting there .

lin che walked in hurriedly . “mother, what happened that’s so serious?”

mu wanqing stood up and said, “i was worried that someone would’ve wiretapped our phone line . after all, that would be a little unsafe . ”

“what?” lin che instantly felt a stronger sense that the situation was quite serious .

mu wanqing said, “jingze’s father went missing yesterday…” while saying this, mu wanqing’s eyes had already turned completely bloodshot .

lin che was even more surprised . “father… has gone missing?”

there was a catch in mu wanqing’s voice, but she concealed it . she looked up and continued, “but jingze went on a search for him today . right now, he has fallen into a trap . ”

lin che’s heart stopped . “gu jingze is in danger?”

“that’s right . we don’t even know where his subordinates have gone . we only know that after falling into a trap, he managed to escape . he brought more than ten personal guards with him, but they’ve been completely wiped out . however, they haven’t found jingze . jingze has escaped . we just don’t know where he is now . ”

how could this have happened…

lin che’s heart beat so fast that it seemed as if it was about to jump out of her throat .

mu wanqing said, “the only person i can trust now is you, little che . what should we do now? if anything happens to jingze, i don’t want to live either . it’s all my fault . i allowed jingze to put his life on the line to save qigang . but in the end, he didn’t manage to save him…”

mu wanqing seemed to have broken down completely . she sat there looking completely battered out of her senses . she could no longer even speak clearly .

for a moment, lin che’s mind was a mess . however, she looked at mu wanqing, lowered her head, and lifted mu wanqing’s hand . “mother, it’s pointless to think about these things now . that’s our father . even if it wasn’t for you, he would still have gone to save him . because he’s gu jingze . ”

gu jingze was simply such a good father, a good son, and a good husband .

lin che pondered for a bit . “well then . does the gu family already know about gu jingze’s disappearance?”

“yes . the clan relatives have gone into a frenzy . ”

“in that case, at the moment, does anyone know who did it?”

“i don’t know . ”

lin che said, “to have such intimate knowledge of the gu family’s movements and to even be able to trap gu jingze, i suspect it was the doing of the gu family’s clan relatives . ”

mu wanqing looked up immediately . “then what should we do now?”

“mother, we have to return to the gu family . although gu jingze has gone missing, you’re still the mistress of the gu family . i’ll go back with you . ”

mu wanqing looked at lin che .

yes . she was still the mistress of the gu family . she had to stay strong .

lin che went out and said, “dongzi, notify all the personal guards to assemble . we’ll go home first before heading to the gu residence . ”

at a time like this, even if she was being pushed to do something way beyond her ability, she had to step forward nonetheless .

they returned to the gu residence .

lin che looked at the people who had gathered at the entrance .

“i know that all of you are gu jingze’s personal guards . right now, gu jingze is in danger and we’re not sure if he’s dead . but as long as he’s alive, he will still continue to find his way back . all of you must wait for him together with me . furthermore, before he comes back, we must help him protect his territory . ”

everyone looked at lin che .

there was a hint of respect on their solemn faces .

if it was someone else, they would not trust that person . but they knew what lin che meant to their master .

lin che was not just someone else . she was the person whom gu jingze trusted and loved the most . so, in all the years that had passed, they themselves had actually already started trusting and respecting lin che very much .

lin che had always been such a good person . slowly, many people were imperceptibly influenced and were attracted to her . they were attracted to her personality .

even more so at this very moment .

everyone said in unison, “we are at your command . ”

lin che’s expression turned grave and stern as she looked at them . “alright . in that case, everyone, listen to my command now . ”
