Chapter 437 - 440 - Life Hanging by a Thread 4_1

"Chenxing, wait for me in the car here. I’ll go ahead and check the road. If the conditions are difficult, we’ll turn back," Gu Shaocheng said, opening the car door.

Chenxing was unclear about what was happening. She didn’t understand why he wanted her to stay in the car while he scouted the road. With a puzzled look on her face, she asked, "Must I stay in the car? I want to be with you, it’s getting dark and I’m a little scared in this wild and desolate place."

"It’s okay, I’ll be back soon." Gu Shaocheng’s expression was rather grim. Chenxing suddenly felt a surge of unease, she shook her head, tightly gripping his hand, "No, I want to go with you, Shaocheng. Please don’t leave me alone in such a place."

The sun had already set, and her phone had no signal. She was adamant about not staying alone.

Gu Shaocheng gazed at her face and finally, unable to bear causing her distress, he reluctantly closed the car door, turned the vehicle around, and sped back the way they came.

"Shaocheng, are we not going any further?"

"Let’s take the highway, it’s too desolate here." Gu Shaocheng didn’t say much to her, he just followed his intuition. It was only a hunch, and he had wanted to explore ahead, but he couldn’t take her with him. So, they turned back.

.....................

At the same time, one of his subordinates found Nan Baihao.

"Young Mr. Nan, there seems to be a problem with Mr. Gu’s car. I found in the surveillance footage that someone tampered with his car."

Nan Baihao was initially fooling around with Hua Hua, but upon hearing the report, he immediately stood upright.

"Let’s go see."

With one succinct sentence, Nan Baihao and Hua Hua followed their subordinate to the Gu Family’s surveillance room. They quickly saw footage from three days ago, which showed someone tampering with the Lamborghini at eight-thirty that evening.

Recently, things have been escalating. First, there were business issues, just as they had been resolved, someone tampered with his brother’s car. Was the Great Lai behind this again?

Humph!

He should have gotten rid of the Great Lai long ago!

"Can you see what has been tampered with?" Nan Baihao stood in front of the surveillance screen with his arms folded behind his back, Worker A scrutinized the surveillance footage from a few days ago, "Manager Nan, if you look here, the surveillance screen shows that someone tampered with the car’s brakes that evening. If you don’t look carefully, you wouldn’t notice. It happened in a blind spot of the surveillance. This was accidentally noticed by He Fei while reviewing the footage from a few days ago. Mr. Gu has not been at home in recent days and hasn’t used this car. But he definitely drove this car out today."

Listening to his subordinate, Nan Baihao had a growing sense of unease.

He took out his phone and dialed his brother’s number. The prompt indicated that the phone was out of the service area and temporarily unreachable.

Hua Hua was also on her phone, "I can’t get through either. Even Chenxing isn’t answering."

Nan Baihao had a bad feeling and his face instantly turned as calm as still water.

"Track his current precise location."

Worker C quickly entered a series of commands into the complicated computer system in front of him. With his computer expertise, akin to a top-level hacker, he accessed all the surveillance cameras in the city in search of Gu Shaocheng’s car.

Time passed slowly.

Nan Baihao grew more and more impatient.

"Haven’t you found it yet?"

Five minutes later, Worker C suddenly shouted, "I found it! He had gone to City T and then returned. He exited the freeway at the Yuyang section. There are no surveillance cameras on that stretch of road. After that, his car could no longer be traced on any of the surveillance cameras."

"Bring up the map."
