Chapter 353: Chapter 353

Gu Qixiao really didn’t expect things to turn out ,

If he had known this would happen, he should have taken care of these people first.

"It must be difficult for you to send out a signal from here, right?"

He already knew there were local bullies here.

But now it seems they are even bolder than he imagined.

"We can still keep doing business here."

Du Kang was still quite confident in the power he had here.

However, at this moment Gu Qixiao was more eager to know if the Gu family had received the news and if Ji Yu was worried about him.

He just wanted to try on a wedding dress with Ji Yu peacefully, how did things turn out ?

Ji Yu had also started investigating where Gu Qixiao had disappeared, and found the last traces with Hong.

"There seems to be a rather famous faction here, but they rarely target outsiders. Besides, Gu Qixiao is so well-known. If they dared to touch him, they would surely face retaliation afterward."

But since this is the only faction here, they had to give it a shot. Maybe it was their handiwork after all?

Ji Yu was ready to see for herself what was going on; otherwise, who would know where Gu Qixiao was?

Mr. Gu had actually already received the news and was prepared to go in person.

Upon knowing Ji Yu was also planning to go, he felt quite helpless inside.

"Yu, you must know that these people’s methods are unusually ruthless. In your current state, it would be best not to go there. It’s definitely dangerous for you."

"Uncle Gu, it’s dangerous for you too. I know what you’re thinking. I’m Gu Qixiao’s fiancée; why can’t I go?" Ji Yu couldn’t hand this matter over to anyone else, and she truly couldn’t be at ease with Gu Qixiao’s situation now.

Whenever she thought about Gu Qixiao being captured, she couldn’t help feeling anxious. How could something so awful happen?

And what if something unexpected happened to Gu Qixiao? ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novèlfire.net

She was very determined about this matter.

And hearing this made Mr. Gu feel relieved, "Yu, we all know the kind of person you are, but I won’t let you take this risk. You’ve done enough."

He truly liked Ji Yu and knew she worried about Gu Qixiao, but precisely because of this, he couldn’t let her take any risks. It’s better to be cautious about such things.

If something were to happen to Ji Yu, Gu Qixiao surely wouldn’t feel any peace of mind.

Ji Yu frowned, realizing it probably wouldn’t be possible to reason with Mr. Gu.

So she prepared herself to find an opportunity to leave; otherwise, she really wouldn’t feel at ease.

Mr. Gu didn’t know Ji Yu’s plan. He only knew that since Ji Yu had been persuaded to stay back, she probably wouldn’t try anything else, and the next day, he straightforwardly went to the location designated by Du Kang.

"Don’t worry. If you can’t come up with the money we want, your son certainly won’t be returned to you. He is definitely still alive. I just want to see how much the Gu family can offer me." He had long heard about the Gu family and wanted to see for himself today how capable they actually were.

He made no effort to hide his greed.

Mr. Gu remained very calm, directly tossing a check for a hundred million to him, "You can cash this check anywhere. I couldn’t possibly bring this much money directly. Can you release him now?"

This was the largest ransom they had ever received, but even so, he showed no intention of releasing anyone.

If he released the person just like that, wouldn’t he lose the chance to get more money?

"This money is certainly not enough to buy President Gu’s life. I’ve taken such a risk, so I definitely wouldn’t agree to only receive this little money."

He had long been contemplating whether to capture Gu Qixiao, and now that they had, there wasn’t much else to think about moving forward.

"It’s said that the bold eat well, and the timid starve. Today, I’ll see how much the Gu family can come up with."

As he became increasingly greedy, Mr. Gu couldn’t help but frown, knowing that such people could never be satisfied.

"I need to think it over. I haven’t even seen my son. Who knows if you’ve already killed him? There should be some kind of assurance in a transaction."

He wanted to confirm Gu Qixiao’s condition.

"There’s nothing wrong with President Gu. You’ll hear from him soon."

He had no intention of bringing the person out.

Who knew if the Gu family had already made the best preparations at this moment?

Mr. Gu was silent for a moment, then decided to retreat for now and think about other plans later.

The issue with Gu Qixiao was indeed a bit tricky. Resolving it would definitely take time, and handing over money wouldn’t guarantee the release of the hostage.

He needed to come up with other solutions. It wasn’t about being unable to provide the money, but rather because these people were so greedy. To resolve this issue, they would need to think of other solutions.

Actually, Du Kang was already enjoying his rewards, and seeing Gu Qixiao’s cold face, he didn’t seem to think much of it.

"Gu Qixiao, give your dad a smile. After all, he did give me a hundred million. At least give him a greeting."

He smiled calmly at Gu Qixiao, clearly quite pleased.

Gu Qixiao felt very uncomfortable, especially in such a situation. He couldn’t feel at ease and didn’t even want to respond to such words, so he simply leaned against one side with a cold face.

"Oh, still acting like a young master, are we? Now you’re my prisoner. If you go on , who knows when I’ll let you taste the whip?"

He indeed had some methods in this matter.

Hearing these words made Gu Qixiao’s expression even colder, "Who do you think you are?"

He was extremely disgusted by what was being done.

"Who do I think I am? Can’t you see it? I’m the boss here, so you have to listen to me." Du Kang continued to smile calmly, but his foot was already stepping on Gu Qixiao’s fingers, causing enough pain to make Gu Qixiao frown.

However, he only furrowed his eyebrows and nothing more.
