Chapter 590: Go Find Him

It wasn’t He Niancheng but Gu Qian.

Gu Qian probably texted her because she didn’t see Gu Qingjiu when she woke up in the morning.

Gu Qingjiu replied to her, ‘

Applied for leave because something cropped up.’

Since Gu Qian should be training at this time, she wouldn’t get to see her reply.

Seeing that He Niancheng didn’t send her any other messages apart from the one last night, Gu Qingjiu felt an emptiness in her heart.

As she walked out of the alleyway, she gave He Niancheng a call. Shortly after it started ringing, someone picked it up.

Without waiting for Gu Qingjiu to speak, He Niancheng spoke first. “Where did you go last night?” He sounded calm and not particularly anxious.

Gu Qingjiu, who had been feeling sheepish before this, stopped feeling so.

“Something cropped up,” she said, sounding justified.

Why wasn’t this person at all anxious after she disappeared for a night?

“You even sound so tough.” There was a trace of helplessness in his nonchalant voice. “I’m at Imperial Crane Street. Come over and find me.”

Gu Qingjiu paused for a moment. “How did you know I can come over to find you?”

“Could you bring your phone with you at this hour if you’re in school?”

There was a chuckle in his voice. “Are you silly?”

Gu Qingjiu was speechless.

Perhaps she went silly from sleeping!

She mumbled, “You only know how to mock me. Wait for me. I’ll be right there!”

After hanging up the phone, she checked up the location using her phone and saw that it wasn’t far from where she was. It would take about ten minutes by car.

Gu Qingjiu found a bike-sharing bike, then rode over in a pleasant mood.

She was wearing a set of clothing provided to her by the secret base, which they had bought outside. It was a dress that gave off youthful vibes, that made her appear incredibly bubbly.

As she yearned to see He Niancheng, she rode too quickly, speeding through the crowds like a b.u.t.terfly.

When she reached, she realized that this was a posh restaurant with a resplendent exterior located in a grand looking high-rise building.

Gu Qingjiu, who was riding on a bike, was surprised to see this.

It didn’t seem appropriate for her to enter in this outfit.

Why did He Niancheng go to such places all the time?

A line of cars was parked at the entrance. Simply judging by the appearance, even if she didn’t recognize the logos, Gu Qingjiu could tell those were luxurious cars. She also saw several cars with such logos during yesterday’s mission.

She sent a message to He Niancheng and confirmed that he was indeed in there. He asked Gu Qingjiu to enter, saying that no one would stop her.

With no other choice, Gu Qingjiu parked the bike somewhere, then tried her best to walk in casually.

Although she was dressed like a young lady and not as prim and proper as the other patrons, she was dressed presentably. Moreover, she was pretty and had an exquisite face.

At the entrance, the bellboy probably thought that she was a wealthy young missy dressed in a low-key manner. Hence, he politely smiled and bowed at her, then simply let her enter.

The minute she got in, the first thing that greeted her was an imposing-looking vault of several tens of meters tall. The European style chandelier lights were sparkling and dazzled one’s eyes.

Those who came here were likely of high social status.

Room 888 on the 8th level.

Gu Qingjiu silently recited this number to herself and, gazing around, found the elevator.

There was a dedicated service staff in the hotel’s elevator, which was the same case with the hotel Gu Qingjiu had previously stayed with He Niancheng. However, this hotel was posher. Gu Qingjiu vaguely recalled seeing the name of this hotel somewhere.

“Level eight.”

After entering the elevator, Gu Qingjiu told the elevator lady with a sweet smile the level she wanted to go to.
