The Beautiful Wife of the Whirlwind Marriage

However, people only believed what they saw. They would never see what was beyond the surface.

Nobody could see how Gu Jingming was like in real life. Neither did they know how he was like outside of what they saw on TV and newspapers.

At the same time, stock prices plunged for some listed companies under the Gu family. This was inevitable. Some projects were also forced to shut down and everyone started to feel anxious.

Gu Jingze was definitely busy, so Lin Che did not leave the house. She rested and waited for updates at home. She would let Dong Zi find out information to see what exactly was going on now.

There was still no response from Glazed Tile Palace. Mr. President had shut himself in and nobody knew what he was doing.

The world outside was chaotic. There were people already out in the streets demanding the president to resign.

Gu Jingze stood in his office as he listened to his subordinate report the data.

“President Gu, Mr. President has shut himself in and we don’t know what to do.”

Gu Jingze asked, “Madam President is still nowhere to be found?”

“We searched within the nation, but we still can’t find her. We considered the possibility that she had been transported out of C Nation. Mr. President is anxiously looking for Madam President. He’s not caring about anything else. You see…”

Yu Minmin was missing and she was carrying his child. How could Gu Jingming still be able to care about anything else?

Gu Jingze asked, “Let him be.”

“What do we do now?”

“We still have to find the source and whoever is behind all this nonsense. Once we find them, we’ll be able to accomplish the rest.”

They got the message and the three of them retreated to carry out their own duties.

Gu Jingze waved his hand and dismissed the rest.

Just then, Lin Che called him.

He let out a breath to calm down and then picked up the phone.

“Gu Jingze, are you still busy?” Lin Che’s bright voice came through the phone.

Gu Jingze replied, “I’m alright. How are you at home?”

“What could happen to me at home? I’m fine.”

“Okay. Don’t leave the house. I’ll be back in a few days.”

“I know. I’m not going anywhere. You should be careful too.”

“I will.” Gu Jingze hung up and pondered for a while. He picked up his phone again and said to Qin Hao, “Don’t tell Lin Che that Yu Minmin is missing.”

“Yes, Sir.”

Yu Minmin got out of the plane and was immediately sent to a villa.

She looked up to see where she was.

It looked tropical on the outside.

She thought for a while and continued looking for clues. When she saw a sign on the side, she realized that this was M Nation.

She had been taken to M Nation.

She was astonished. She held her belly and knew that her child was fine. She could only force herself to relax.

However, she wondered if Gu Jingming had gone mad trying to find her by now. She also did not know what happened in C Nation such that so many people rushed to the resort and she was taken away.

She was anxious as she looked outside. She could not wait like this…

She could not sit and wait to be rescued.

But she only just got here now, so she had to be obedient. She sat there and pretended to be weak. She watched as someone came in quietly to bring her food. She pretended to struggle to sit up. Coupled with that big belly, anybody would believe that she was really weak and frail now.

When the person went out, he said worriedly to the other outside, “She’ll be fine, right? She’s heavily pregnant and she looks like she’s dying.”

“What can happen? I only used a little drug. Never mind. Keep an eye on her and don’t let anything happen. The boss said that keeping her is of great use.”

“Should we get a doctor?”

“Seriously? Don’t you think we have enough witnesses? Bringing in a doctor. Do you want to die?”

“Alright then.”

“We’ll call for one if we really have to. Keep an eye on her for now.”

Yu Minmin waited in the room. She could only look out through a small window to see if the outside was clear. She looked in every corner out the window to look for a way out. At the same time, she looked around the room to see if she could find anything useful.

A typical rich man’s daughter would definitely not know all these, but Yu Minmin was an independent child. Growing up in a family that had nothing, she quickly found a cupboard and took it apart. She slowly took out the nails the held it together. Things made of metal were always useful. There were also more metal parts in the drawers and she took them out. Just doing this alone took more than two hours.

When she was done, she kept these things with her and continued to play dead.

Time passed incredibly slow. Every minute here felt like an eternity.

She only thought that if she was here, then where was Gu Jingming…

—

Gu Jingming stayed in his room and had not eaten or slept for a day and night.

Linda did not dare to interrupt. She could only look on.

Rumors of the president were already spread so widely that they had to be suppressed. But at the same time, Madam President was taken away and this was the fatal blow to Gu Jingming.

Linda could only have the entire Glazed Tile Palace on lockdown before she sent people to search for Yu Minmin.

There was no news yet. Linda was still communicating with Gu Jingze’s side and neither did they have any updates. They could only wait like this and clear up the trivial matters first.

Meanwhile, Lin Che waited at home. She watched people go back and forth busily as they secured the entire Gu residence multiple times. Lin Che rested there when Gu Shinian walked in. She held her hand out to him and said, “Niannian, come here.”

Gu Shinian asked, “Mama, did something happen?”

Lin Che sighed and looked at Gu Shinian. She knew that she could never hide anything from Niannian.

Lin Che said, “Yes, something did happen and you probably saw all there was too. But don’t you worry. Dad will handle it. We just need to wait patiently here. Don’t cause any more trouble for Dad.”

Gu Shinian nodded and asked, “Do you want me to go snoop around?”

“You?” Lin Che initially wanted to laugh at his little adult demeanor, but she suddenly recalled Gu Jingze once said that Gu Qigang assigned the best secret service to Gu Shinian.

Lin Che said, “I don’t see why not. I just want to know what’s going on outside.”

Gu Shinian nodded and said, “Mama, don’t you worry. You have two brave men protecting you. Nothing will happen to you and my little brother inside.”

Lin Che laughed and looked at Niannian. “How do you know it’s a brother?”

Gu Shinian said, “If it’s a sister, I don’t want her.”
