Young Master Feng, Your Lady Has Stunned the World!

Chapter 148: The Conversation was Interrupted

The secretary clenched her fists tightly. Her director was so good at this.

“Three meals a day? Doesn’t she get tired of it?” Gu Chu laughed. “Aren’t her children by her side?”

The owner sprinkled a handful of shallots to make the dish even more fragrant. At the same time, she sighed and said, “She’s alone. She has no children.”

Gu Chu pretended to be surprised and said, “She doesn’t want children? I thought this is only popular in our generation. I wanted to do the same, but my parents would be the first to beat me to death.”

“No, she has a son. But more than twenty years ago, he ran away with someone. Her husband died, so she’s the only one left.”

Finally getting to the point, Gu Chu asked curiously, “Why did he run away with someone?”

The owner was about to continue, but at that moment, someone called her from outside. “Sister Yu.”

The owner immediately replied, “Coming.”

The person outside stopped calling her. The owner thought that the person must be looking for her. She placed the noodles in front of them and said, “Enjoy. The seasoning is over there. Help yourselves.”

After saying that, she rushed outside.

Gu Chu expressed her regret. She was just one step away from getting what she wanted.

However, she could not force her to stay. She could only say, “Okay.”

The secretary looked at the owner’s back as she left. She was also a little frustrated. “Who is it? We were so close to getting the answer.”

Gu Chu felt helpless. “Let’s continue to ask her when she comes back.”

At this moment, the phone in her bag suddenly rang. It was Lin Yu. She took a small plate and walked to the sauce area while answering the phone. “Lin Yu.”

Lin Yu’s voice was tense. “Where are you now?”

“I’m having noodles outside,” Gu Chu replied.

Lin Yu seemed to be relieved. “Don’t look for Li Xiu. There’s something wrong with her.”

Gu Chu frowned. “What’s going on?”

“I just got a more detailed report. Her son is a fugitive suspected of a criminal case.”

Gu Chu’s eyebrows jumped. “What?”

Lin Yu succinctly summarized, “Twenty years ago, someone saw her son bringing a girl home. Later on, that girl went missing. The police suspected that the girl may have been killed, but because the body could not be found, her son was not charged. As time passed, it became an unsolved case.”

Why would a sixty-something-year-old woman encourage a group of people to oppose a construction project that had already been approved by the authorities?

Or were they overthinking it? Was Li Xiu just trying to double the compensation?

Or was it that once the building was constructed, something bad would be dug out?

Perhaps Gu Chu had read too many posts about the crazed murderer, she thought like a detective and suddenly had a bold idea. “Do you think that Li Xiu is so against this project because she’s afraid of them diggin out something, like...”

Lin Yu was stunned, but he continued her sentence, “the girl’s body?”

Gu Chu’s hair stood on end!

At the same time, she felt a sudden gust of wind behind her. She quickly turned around and a hand appeared out of thin air, snatching away her phone.

Gu Chu subconsciously shouted, “Ah!”

Lin Yu shouted, “Gu Chu? Gu Chu!”

He carefully listened to the sound on the other side of the phone. There was a crackling sound that sounded like tables or chairs falling to the ground. The sound was mixed with the screams of a woman, and it was rather shocking to hear.

His tone became even more anxious. “Gu Chu, Gu Chu? !”

Du —

The phone was hung up.

Lin Yu’s hand suddenly tightened.

He immediately called the person-in-charge of the site. “Old Wang, a friend of mine seems to have met with an accident near the site. I’ll send her photo to you. Bring everyone to look for her. Focus on the restaurants nearby. If you can’t find her, immediately call the police.”

“Okay.”

Lin Yu sent Gu Chu’s photo to Old Wang while he booked a flight ticket to the capital.

However, he was too far away. At this moment, Gu Chu and her secretary were already in trouble!

The two of them had their hands and feet tied with ropes and their mouths were taped. Two men and a woman threw them into the corner of the kitchen.

The woman looked the oldest, which made Gu Chu think of one person, Li Xiu.

The other two men, one looked like he was in his forties, and the other looked younger, about the same age as them.
