Song Yansheng naturally wasn’t going to intervene.
With Liao Qinghe absent, he felt even freer.
On Saturday afternoon, Song Yansheng received a phone call from Gu Zheng and went out with Shi Nuan.
The destination was Gu Zheng’s residence, primarily related to Qin Ran.
Gu Zheng said on the phone that A qing was nearly eight months pregnant, and in two months she would be due. Qin Ran couldn’t wait anymore and wanted to go to Moyang Mountain.
If it weren’t for Gu Zheng, Qin Ran would have already gone.
Gu Zheng was equally skilled as Qin Ran, but Qin Ran had an injured arm, making him not a match for Gu Zheng at this mont.
Gu Zheng said, "I can understand Qin Ran. Zhong Jinnan is unpredictable, and no one knows what he might do to A qing and the child in her womb. Moreover, Yan Ke was sent elsewhere temporarily by Zhong Jinnan after his mission in Arica failed. Now he’s not in T City, so it’s normal for Qin Ran to be worried!"
This was Shi Nuan’s first visit to Gu Zheng’s place.
The place wasn’t large, with a garden, but inside the yard, it wasn’t filled with flowers and plants like Song Mansion and Nuan Residence.
Instead, it resembled a small training base.
Inside the room, the decor was simple but tidily cleaned, almost spotless.
It was evident that Gu Zheng had a severe case of cleanliness.
Also present was Qu Yuzuo.
He arrived a bit earlier than Song Yansheng and Shi Nuan.
As they settled down, Gu Zheng served them plain water, which was also what he regularly drank at ho.
Qin Ran was upstairs, and Gu Zheng ntioned that Ye Mingi was watching over him.
Ye Mingi certainly wasn’t a match for Gu Zheng, but keeping an eye on soone wasn’t an issue.
Shi Nuan said, "I’ll go upstairs and see Mingi!"
Song Yansheng nodded, "Be careful on the stairs!"
Shi Nuan responded with a sound and then turned to head upstairs. After Shi Nuan left, Gu Zheng spoke, "Regarding Qin Ran’s situation, if you have any thoughts, you can share them now. You know I can keep Qin Ran in check once but not a second ti. If he wants to go to Moyang Mountain, I can’t stop him!"
Qu Yuzuo raised an eyebrow, "Since that’s the case, stop keeping an eye on him. If he wants to go, let him go!"
"Let him go? Let him go to his death? Zhong Jinnan isn’t going to be lenient just because he raised him. You know that!"
Qu Yuzuo laughed, "But as you said, you can’t stop him. Besides, Zhong Jinnan won’t be lenient with Qin Ran, whom he raised, so why would he be lenient with A qing and her child? Qin Ran probably understands Zhong Jinnan better than we do, and he’s not impulsive, right?"
Gu Zheng furrowed his brows and said nothing.
Qu Yuzuo continued, "Another point: I’m puzzled about Zhong Jinnan’s motive for kidnapping A qing. You ntioned it was because Yan Ke’s failed assassination mission in Arica implicated Qin Ran, but does this reasoning hold up?"
Gu Zheng pursed his lips, still silent, only shifting his gaze to Song Yansheng.
Song Yansheng took a sip of the plain water beside him before speaking softly, "Actually, I have a bold hypothesis!"
"Hmm?" Gu Zheng and Qu Yuzuo looked at him with puzzled expressions.
Song Yansheng said, "Rember I ntioned to you before about Sister Wen’s brother, Xue Mobei, who was missing for many years?"
Qu Yuzuo wasn’t too familiar with this, but Gu Zheng knew well and urged, "Go on!"
Song Yansheng continued, "I suspect there might be a connection between Zhong Jinnan and Xue Mobei, possibly... they might even be the sa person!"
...
Upstairs, Shi Nuan had already t Ye Mingi, who was naturally pleased to see her.
She had been feeling bored watching over the scene upstairs, and Shi Nuan’s arrival, along with tasty treats, was a welco surprise.
When Shi Nuan ca, Song Mansion had just gotten so desserts, so Aunt Hui packed them for her.
Song Yansheng wasn’t fond of sweets, and Shi Nuan herself couldn’t really manage sweets, so it was perfect to give them to Ye Mingi.
Sitting in a chair, Ye Mingi munched on the treats while complaining, "Little sister-in-law, you have no idea how miserable I’ve been. Boss Gu didn’t buy snacks, only let eat at four days a week, and only once a day. I think I’ve lost weight recently; look, have I slimd down?"
Shi Nuan observed Ye Mingi’s petite face, big dark eyes, and fair skin, which seed to have beco a bit darker.
Indeed, she had lost weight, but it didn’t seem to be solely through dieting; maybe she was... trained by Gu Zheng?
