Chapter 872: 872 He has no intention of getting engaged at all (4)
"It’s the CEO!"
"I’m wrapping things up here. Take the phone and search for her, whether it’s Mrs. Gu or Ye Fei, or both of them, if any situation arises, call me on my other number."
"Understood, CEO! I’m on it right away!"
Gu Liancheng and his assistant whispered furtively, drawing attention not only from the audience below but also from those on stage, who were all watching and speculating whether they were looking for Shang Qianxun.
With one look, it became certain that "Mrs. Gu" was not simply feeling unwell!
Meanwhile, every media outlet had sent out their people to search; perhaps they would discover something?
The "search for people game" below was in full swing, everyone highly motivated, as if finding Shang Qianxun meant winning the game. Meanwhile, the engagement ceremony on stage proceeded smoothly and orderly.
Gu Liancheng’s distraction wasn’t obvious, and few people noticed anything amiss, which was largely thanks to his consistent composure in public, never showing any lapse in behavior.
On one hand, he was worried about being unable to contact Eleven, and on the other...
He was timing the arrival of the wrap-up team.
The host was speaking passionately, blessing the soon-to-be couple before moving on to the ring exchange. Once that process was completed, the host would announce the successful conclusion of the engagement ceremony.
"Wait... aren’t Mrs. Gu and the CEO using a pair of couple’s phones?"
Su Qing suddenly thought of this.
He recalled that a pair of couple’s phones were closely connected, capable of tracking each other’s location! So Mrs. Gu’s location should be displayed on the CEO’s phone!
Su Qing, having just realized this, wanted to slap himself. Surely, the CEO was unaware because he never paid attention to it and certainly had not studied it. He had seen the promotion for the new model, so how could he only think of this now!
This was a delay!
As soon as Su Qing opened the positioning system, he was stunned.
Mrs. Gu wasn’t in the villa?!
Why was her phone displaying a location more than a dozen kilometers away in Jiangcheng District??
My God! Why would Mrs. Gu be there!
At a distance from the disturbances on stage, Su Qing was unperturbed, knowing that this moment would come.
A group of police officers suddenly burst into the engagement party, captivating the media, who snapped photos and speculated about what had happened.
Everyone looked serious; it was clear they weren’t there to give their blessings.
So what was it?
Not just the guests at the engagement party, but even the day’s main characters were clueless about why these police officers had arrived, and there were not just one group but at least two teams of them.
Old Master Gu gestured to Gu Chengde, asking quietly, "Are they people we called for?"
"No, Dad. We haven’t interacted for many years and didn’t invite them, perhaps they are from the Shang family."
"They seem somewhat hostile," Old Master Gu remarked, with a hint of exclamation in his voice, as if recalling something from many years ago...
"Old Master Gu, does this scene feel very familiar to you?" Gu Liancheng, who had heard their discussion, wasn’t surprised by any of these developments and remained composed.
He couldn’t remember when he stopped calling him grandfather, or maybe...
He had never called him that to begin with?
Time was too distant; unimportant memories, he chose to forget.
Old Master Gu shivered, his eyes widening slightly as he looked beside him at Gu Liancheng and inquired, "Was it you?"
