Chapter 350 - 322 Arrangements for Sheng Anhe
Fourth-floor lounge.When Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng arrived, Gu Yanjing was already waiting for them.
The couple felt uneasy on their way there, and upon seeing Gu Yanjing without Qiao Yuxian, their unease grew.
They really couldn’t fathom why Gu Yanjing wanted to see them at this time.
"Mr. Gu," Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng sat opposite Gu Yanjing.
Gu Yanjing sat in his chair, poised and relaxed.
His upright posture exuded an air of laziness yet regal dominance over everything.
"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng," Gu Yanjing greeted.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng nodded in response, and Sheng Chendong asked, "Mr. Gu, is there something you wanted to discuss with us?"
Qiao Yuxian hadn’t changed her address and didn’t call Zhao Shimeng "mother."
Moreover, she allowed Gu Yanjing to maintain such a distant address, indicating that acknowledging their daughter would not be easy.
So they courteously maintained their original titles without forcefully bridging relationships.
Gu Yanjing also didn’t bother with superfluous words, placing a phone and a sealed bag containing pills in front of them.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng were bewildered by the two items.
Especially the two pills, as they completely had no idea what they were.
The two exchanged glances and looked at Gu Yanjing.
Seeing Gu Yanjing sip tea indifferently, showing no intention of speaking to them.
They picked up the phone and checked it.
The phone was a server’s phone, with the password lock already removed.
Upon unlocking the phone, it immediately displayed the message page.
This page detailed the actions the server was instructed to perform after being bribed by Sheng Anhe.
It was unclear whether something happened after the server was bribed, or if it was Anhe’s issue, as all subsequent plotting by Sheng Anhe was arranged through texts.
It was practically perfect evidence.
Including how she directed the server to find others at the hotel, as many as possible.
And how she instructed the server to keep an eye on Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian.
The actions had to be carried out when their drugged state rendered them incoherent.
How to distract the Gu Family.
How to mislead the drugged and not fully conscious Gu Yanjing to the 29th floor.
How to lure Qiao Yuxian to a different room.
How many people were directed to assault Qiao Yuxian, including arrangements for filming.
Everything was documented in that information.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng turned pale as they read it, quickly turning a stiff green.
The messages didn’t mention Sheng Anhe’s name.
But how could they not recognize their daughter’s phone number?
Zhao Shimeng stared at the phone, her eyelids twitching uncontrollably.
She then glanced at the pills on the table.
Even without being told, she could guess what kind of pills they were.
She suddenly stood up, the chair scraping noisily backward, emotional, "Where’s Anhe? Where is she now? What have you done to her?!"
Gu Yanjing slowly raised his eyes to meet hers.
His deep, cold gaze remained unperturbed.
It felt like a casual glance.
Yet when Zhao Shimeng met his eyes, it was as if he pierced straight into her soul.
She regained a bit of composure, licked her dry lips, and said, "No, I’m sorry, Mr. Gu, I got a bit agitated. Is Yu Xian... is she alright?"
Compared to her, Sheng Chendong was calmer. He held Zhao Shimeng’s hand, motioning her to sit down.
Zhao Shimeng sat down, pondered for a moment, and asked, "Is Yu Xian... alright? Was she frightened?"
The pills being here indicated Sheng Anhe hadn’t succeeded.
Moreover, if something had happened to Qiao Yuxian, Gu Yanjing wouldn’t be this calm.
So Zhao Shimeng concluded that Qiao Yuxian was unharmed.
Gu Yanjing didn’t answer her directly but instead showed them what Meng Yan had found on his phone.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng looked at the phone once more.
This time it was Sheng Anhe’s drug purchase information, sources, transactions, and inquiries about usage and dosage.
All solid evidence.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng were speechless.
Their minds were consumed with how to save Sheng Anhe, pondering her current condition.
Seeing they had finished reading, Gu Yanjing put away his phone and said, "Sheng Anhe is on the 29th floor of the hotel now."
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng looked at Gu Yanjing, visibly tense, awaiting his continuation.
"Two choices," Gu Yanjing stated, "First, I call the police. With all the evidence, her actions warrant a minimum of three, up to ten years. That’s the minimum."
Gu Yanjing reiterated.
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng understood the gravity.
This is Capital City, a place where Gu Yanjing wields significant influence.
If he desires, there’s no way it will be just the minimum sentence.
"What’s the other option?" Sheng Chendong asked.
"Send her back to A Continent, never to return," Gu Yanjing replied, "Should she step in, she’ll meet her end here."
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng remained silent.
This second option seemed simple. But upon deeper thought, it implicated a lot more.
They have only one daughter.
They had openly stated their ambition to expand in Capital City.
Now, their daughter isn’t allowed to enter the country.
The reason for expanding in this city is significantly diminished.
Yet to establish a footing, they are already being rocked.
Additionally, is Gu Yanjing simply venting for Qiao Yuxian, or is there an ulterior motive?
It’s difficult to draw an immediate conclusion.
"Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, choose," Gu Yanjing said calmly.
"Mr. Gu, may we have some time to think?" Zhao Shimeng asked.
"Five minutes." Gu Yanjing replied unemotionally, yet firmly, "I was inclined to report to the police and be done with it, but my wife thought there should be an alternative. If you can’t decide, I’ll make it for you." Thᴇ link to the origɪn of this information rᴇsts ɪn N0velFire.ɴet
"Send Sheng Anhe back to A Continent," Sheng Chendong decided immediately, without needing five minutes, "Never to return."
Capital City is not their territory; Sheng Chendong couldn’t protect Sheng Anhe here.
Once she enters, he’s afraid she won’t come out alive.
Sending her back to A Continent is the best choice.
Even if entry is restricted now, there’ll always be a way in the future.
First save her, then talk about other things.
Gu Yanjing looked at the couple, saw they had decided, and said, "Ensure she leaves by tomorrow afternoon."
"Alright, I’ll arrange it," Sheng Chendong agreed.
Gu Yanjing said nothing further, picking up the teapot to pour some tea into the fairness cup.
Standing nearby, Su Qi approached, "Mr. Sheng, Mrs. Sheng, Miss Sheng is on the 29th floor, this way please."
Sheng Chendong and Zhao Shimeng quickly got up, following Su Qi.
Outside the lounge, Su Qi instructed the Gu Family members to escort them to the 29th floor.
Su Qi returned to the lounge.
Gu Yanjing poured tea from the fairness cup into a teacup, "Once Sheng Anhe returns to A Continent, find an excuse at Yujing Manor to have her imprisoned."
Su Qi knew that Mr. Gu wouldn’t let Sheng Anhe return home comfortably, "Understood."
"Once inside, make sure she’s well attended to. Keep her alive," Gu Yanjing said while gazing at the tea.
"Understood," Su Qi replied.
"By the way, check who could pull her out in A Continent," Gu Yanjing placed the teacup into the tea tray, tea flowing outward, "and find out who backs the Sheng Family in A Continent."
