Chapter 23: A Passerby in a CEO Romance Novel (23)
The giant Ferris wheel stands tall beneath the clouds, its lights gleaming, like a bright pearl embedded in the ground, attracting the longing of countless people.
Standing beneath the Ferris wheel, Gu Yunting subconsciously looked at Le Yan, about to speak, when suddenly a large wave of people surged towards him.
His eyes widened, and he hurriedly reached out to pull her, but he was too late to react and failed to hold her back.
Watching her drift further and further away from him in the flow of people, Gu Yunting was filled with anxiety. He tried to rush through the crowd, but was instead pushed further and further away.
Le Yan was completely bewildered. She had originally intended to drag Gu Yunting to buy tickets, but she was suddenly pushed aside by the rushing crowd.
She looked up in a panic, trying to see where Gu Yunting was, but there were too many people in front of her, and she couldn't see him at all.
The crowd was dense, and slowly, Leyan was led to the edge.
Standing in the dim light, with the Christmas tree behind her twinkling, Le Yan looked at the crowd of people crammed together like meat patties in front of her, still a little confused. What was going on?
Is this robbery?
With a pout, Le Yan looked down and rummaged through her bag, preparing to take out her phone to contact Gu Yunting.
At this moment, she was incredibly grateful that she hadn't let Gu Yunting take her bag, otherwise...
"Well!"
With her mouth and nose covered, a pungent odor filled her nostrils, and Le Yan's vision went black as she fainted.
The Christmas tree lights went out completely, and two figures could be seen faintly in the hazy shadows.
"boom!"
The phone was thrown straight to the ground and shattered into pieces.
Gu Yunting's eyes were filled with a bloodthirsty madness, and his face was full of ferocity. "Seal off the entire amusement park. Don't let anyone leave!"
He only wanted to ride a Ferris wheel, but what he got in return was losing Leyan.
Gu Yunting felt a surge of resentment; he shouldn't have brought Le Yan to such a crowded place!
The amusement park's manager dared not say anything and could only do as General Manager Gu instructed.
After all, this largest amusement park in Jiangcheng belongs to Mr. Gu's family.
While the manager went to seal off the amusement park, Gu Yunting was also busy. He took the computer to check the location and called each of his three rivals to question them.
Unfortunately, they couldn't find the location, and after their rival questioned them, they became even more agitated than he had been.
Within a dozen minutes, You Wenwen, Rong Jing, and Shen Mubai arrived at the amusement park one after another.
When Rong Jing rushed to the monitoring center, he changed his usual demeanor and punched Gu Yunting in the face, demanding, "Where is he?"
"I'm asking you, where are they?!"
He knew it; he shouldn't have entrusted Le Yan to Gu Yunting. How could that good-for-nothing protect her?
Gu Yunting felt remorse and took the punch squarely, saying, "Le Yan has a tracking device on her, but it's blocked now. The other party came prepared."
Since it wasn't a love rival stealing him, it could only have been his business competitors.
Gu Yunting closed his eyes slightly, pondering the suspect.
Shen Mubai had already taken the computer. He didn't want to talk about location; he just wanted to find the person as quickly as possible.
You Wenwen glared at Gu Yunting, suppressing her anger, and kept her eyes fixed on Shen Mubai's movements.
"The other party is a highly skilled hacker, Gu Yunting. Find out which of your competitors has such a capable person around them."
While typing code to decipher the other party's system, Shen Mubai sarcastically remarked to Gu Yunting, "If you can't take good care of her, then don't keep her."
If it were him, he would keep a close eye on Leyan every single moment of the day, 24 hours a day.
Gu Yunting had no time for verbal sparring. Upon hearing that there was a highly skilled hacker on the other end, he immediately ordered his men to investigate.
Since You Wenwen and Rong Jing didn't trust their abilities, they naturally started using their own forces.
For a time, the entire city of Jiangcheng was filled with the smell of gunpowder.
Looking at the computer, Shen Mubai frowned deeply. The next moment, he pushed the computer away, rubbed his temples in frustration, and said, "It's ruined."
The other three people all looked over and saw various viruses flashing on the computer screen. After a few seconds, the computer screen went black.
Seeing this, Gu Yunting became even more anxious. There are few hackers in the world who can make Shen Mubai suffer losses.
Thinking of this, he instantly had a clue and sent out several more messages.
Just then, hurried footsteps approached, and the amusement park manager came running up with a handbag in his hand. "Mr. Gu, we've found Miss Le's bag."
Yu Wenwen, who was closest to the bag, immediately grabbed it and searched it. She found only a cell phone, a hair clip, and a bracelet.
Upon seeing these items, Gu Yunting's expression changed, and Rong Jing's expression also turned sour.
"Both the phone and the bracelet have GPS tracking devices," Gu Yunting said wearily.
Rong Jing pursed his lips, reached out and picked up the hair clip without saying a word. Everyone present could see that there was a location marked on the hair clip.
She glared at them irritably and immediately stood up. "It seems they've already left the amusement park. There's no point in looking for them anymore. I'm leaving now."
She calmly went out, and before she had gone far, she was already making a phone call.
She was looking for someone.
But she didn't hang out with those three stinky men while she was looking.
Watching You Wenwen leave, Rong Jing and Shen Mubai also left one after another.
They had the same idea as You Wenwen.
As the car drove home, Rong Jing's brows furrowed slightly, and soon a new idea came to him.
He parked his car on the side of the road, but instead of going home, he knocked on Le Yan's door.
"Who?"
When Le's mother opened the door, she saw Rong Jing standing outside with a faint smile.
"Xiao Rong, it's so late, is there something you need?"
She pulled Rong Jing into the house and said casually, "If you're looking for Yan Yan, she's not back yet. Do you want to wait a bit?"
Rong Jing maintained his smile, shook his head, and said, "Auntie, I know Yan Yan hasn't come back yet. She's in Haicheng right now."
"Haicheng?" Le's mother looked blank. How come she hadn't heard her daughter mention going to Haicheng?
"When did she go to Haicheng? What business did she have there?"
Rong Jing nodded calmly: "Yan Yan always does things on a whim. This morning she told me she wanted to take you to Haicheng for a visit, so she flew there to scout it out."
"Now?" Mom blinked in confusion. "She didn't send you to pick me up, did she?"
Her daughter is indeed impulsive. Back when she was in college, she had the experience of flying to another city and asking Rong Jing to pick her up for a trip, so Le's mother is quite used to it.
Rong Jing smiled and nodded, then sighed helplessly before saying, "Auntie is right. She has already bought our plane tickets. Pack your things and let's go."
Le's mother patted Rong Jing's shoulder apologetically, "That's really troubling you. That child is always like this. I'll talk to her when I go to Haicheng."
“It’s okay, Auntie, I did it voluntarily.”
She voluntarily brought Leyan's mother to Haicheng, and also voluntarily brought Leyan back to Haicheng.
