I Help the Richest Man Spend Money to Prevent Disasters
chapter-326

Although Ye Zhi’s soft plea was so faint and light, it still managed to affect his heart deeply, creating waves of ripples of emotion that stirred from within.

Ye Zhi’s voice was slightly aggrieved. As soon as Ye Zhi spoke, Gu Ren felt that his heart seemed to tighten with a touch of sourness.

Gu Ren closed his eyes. He always knew that his calm and logical composure would shatter as soon as things were about her.

As long as she spoke out, he would give in to her wishes— whatever they were.

Gu Ren opened his eyes and his gaze was extremely solemn. He stared intensely at Ye Zhi and let out a sigh, “Only one kilogram.”

Ye Zhi smiled.

Gu Ren’s gaze was still on her when he said in a low tone, “Ye Zhi, I care about you a lot.”

Ye Zhi’s heartbeat resounded chaotically when she heard him add at the same time, “I care about you a lot more than you think.”

The winter night was silent and the moon was as white as it was round. However, nothing could be as beautiful as the faint sliver of warmth that shone beneath his eyes.

Gu Ren then said, “Good night.”

The moment Gu Ren turned around, he could hear Ye Zhi’s voice clearly ringing out into the air.

“I do too.”

Ye Zhi was saying that she also cared about herself.

Gu Ren turned around and found her burying herself under the quilts, merely reddened tips of her ears visible for him to see.

Gu Ren smiled softly.

..

It was late at night and everything was silent as only the dim yellow street lights were lit on both sides of the street. The cold winter wind was separated by the windows as the interiors were filled with warmth.

Nie Jiqing had long prepared to rest for the night, but she was tossing and turning on the bed, seemingly incapable of falling asleep.

Nie Jiqing’s husband, Sheng Yu, also became affected by her emotions. He turned sideways and asked her, “What’s the matter?”

Sheng Yu knew Nie Jiqing very well, so he could naturally tell that her condition was not right throughout the past few days.

Nie Jiqing turned on the small lamp beside the bed. As the soft light veiled over their surroundings, the anger in her eyes was clearly visible.

“The incident of our daughter being abducted should have something to do with Sheng Lian— I suspect that all of this was part of Sheng Lian’s plan.”

After Sheng Luo was lost, Sheng Yu suffered as much as Nie Jiqing. However, in order to comfort Nie Jiqing, he could only suppress the thoughts in his heart.

Now Nie Jiqing’s words gave him a glimmer of hope. Because he was too nervous, his voice trembled slightly.

“Then does he know where our daughter is?”

Nie Jiqing shook her head, “I don’t think he does. Recently, he was dealing with Liu Cang, a human trafficker, so don’t act rashly. Give them a few days to settle down before we fix this for once and for all.”

Sheng Yu suppressed his anger and slowly calmed down, “I understand what you mean.”

Nie Jiqing snorted coldly, “I don’t know whether Sheng Man knew about this throughout the past few years. If she knew about the truth but proceeded to put an act in front of us, then she is also like them— extremely shameless.”

Sheng Yu was already extremely disgusted with Sheng Lian and the others, so he shuddered with rage when he thought of his daughter suffering outside.

“After searching for so many years, I finally have a direction on where to go. I will send someone to follow Sheng Lian—they must find Luoluo.”

Originally, Sheng Yu was always calm and composed in front of outsiders. Now that things concerned his daughter, he just couldn’t calm himself.

Thinking of the day where he would reunite with his daughter, he started to become talkative.

“It’s been so long since, who knows how Luoluo has become? Will she forgive us?”
