Chapter 578 Unable to Confront

Gu Changle reacted quickly. No sooner had she seen the man take off his mask than she asked him in reply, “Why me?”

The man smiled, satirizing, “I changed my mind so that Miss Miaomiao and Childe Gu Yi can return safe and sound. You didn’t expect to see me here, did you? Miss Gu?”

Gu Changle furrowed her brow.

She did feel surprised.

As for her, it was a bombsh.e.l.l.

The man accepted her money and promised to eliminate Gu Yi and Miaomiao.

But why did he turn against her?

“Do you still remember my name, Miss Gu?”

The man asked Gu Changle provocatively, smirking at her disturbingly.

Gu Changle frowned, replying, “I’ve never met you before. How can I know your name?”

Hearing that, the man clucked, “You are really heartless. We had such a nice talk, but you pretend not to know me now.”

Gu Changle gnashed her teeth.

She itched to rip the man to pieces.

She had never expected that he would betray her.

Seeing that the man who brought Gu Yi and Miaomiao back talked with Gu Changle like this, Shao Tianze frowned and asked Gu Changle, “What’s all this about?”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s question, Gu Changle replied immediately, “Tianze, I don’t know him.”

Shao Tianze trusted Gu Changle, so he stared stonily at that strange man who was talking to Gu Changle after getting her reply, “Though I’m grateful that you brought my children back, please watch your mouth.”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s warning, the man replied, “Mr. Shao, no matter what, I’ve brought back your children. But it’s just a beginning. Such things will happen for the second time. If you don’t understand, your children will probably be in danger again. That’s all I can say.”

With this, the man prepared to get in his car.

But his words roused Shao Tianze’s suspicions. He looked at Gu Changle in disbelief for a few seconds.

Gu Changle wanted the man to get in his car and leave as soon as possible. However, Shao Tianze strode over just as the man’s car was about to start. He smacked the car window and said to that man, “Get off. Let’s sort things out.”

Hearing Shao Tianze’s voice, the man turned to look at Gu Changle subconsciously.

Seeing that, Shao Tianze hesitated for a moment and then said to Gu Changle, “Go back to your room with Ding Ali. I’ll be back soon.”

Hearing that, the man opened the car door and motioned Shao Tianze to talk in the car.

Fearing that the man might say something against her, Gu Changle stepped forward and grabbed Shao Tianze’s coat, saying worriedly, “He is an evil man. Don’t get in his car.”

Hearing that, the man in the car sneered and asked Gu Changle in reply, “Since you glibly said that you didn’t know me, how can you know that I’m an evil person?”

His words dumbfounded Gu Changle.

Shao Tianze lowered his eyes and gently freed himself from Gu Changle. Then he held Miaomiao in his arms and said to Gu Yi, “Come with me, Yi.”

Gu Yi lowered his eyes and got into the car with Shao Tianze.

Behind the car was the bodyguards’ car.

After Shao Tianze got in, the man started the car, greeting Shao Tianze, “I’m Zhang Lei, Mr. Shao.”

Shao Tianze nodded, asking him, “Tell me, who kidnapped my kids?”

Hearing that Shao Tianze got straight to the point, Zhang Lei felt a bit embarra.s.sed, replying, “I can’t give a definite answer to the question.”

Shao Tianze said, “Name your price.”

Though Shao Tianze was being generous, the man hesitated and declined, “Mr. Shao, it’s not about money. If I had wanted money, I wouldn’t have brought your kids back. I betrayed my gang to send your kids back. Do you know how risky this is?”

“I know.” Shao Tianze was clear about that.

If the kidnappers who abducted Gu Yi and Miaomiao had wanted money, they would have coerced the Shao Family into paying them a b.u.t.t load of money. It might even be astronomical.

In that way, not only could the kidnappers get so much money, but Zhang Lei could also get a share.

Now that he had brought Gu Yi and Miaomiao back, it was impossible for Zhang Lei to ask him for money.

Hearing that, Zhang Lei continued, “Actually, I was really worried about your children. Besides, I have received many kindnesses from Miss Gu Changge. Thus I want to protect the kids left by her.”

With this, Zhang Lei couldn’t help sighing.

Shao Tianze narrowed his eyes on hearing Zhang Lei’s words.

Gu Changge did a lot of things while she was alive, and she did give many people kindnesses.

Just because of this, many people still remembered Gu Changge after she died.

Some even wanted to return the favor.

But who would have thought that Shao Tianze was the one who killed Gu Changge?

Seeing that Shao Tianze remained silent, Zhang Lei continued, “I don’t know how you think. Since Miss Miaomiao and Childe Gu Yi are Miss Gu’s targets, why did you bring them back?”

Shao Tianze was a bit stupefied on hearing the words.

He also felt a bit shocked, asking, “What do you mean?”

Zhang Lei sighed, replying, “Mr. Shao, haven’t you twigged yet? The person who wants to eliminate your kids is Gu Changle!”

Shao Tianze frowned, stared at him stonily, saying, “Don’t sling mud at Gu Changle.”

The man turned the steering wheel helplessly and pulled over. Then he opened the car door and looked at Shao Tianze, saying, “Mr. Shao, I have said all there is to be said about it. If you believe me, be on your guard against Miss Gu. If not, take your children back. Forget what I said today.”

With this, he motioned Shao Tianze to get off.

But Shao Tianze frowned and didn’t want to get off now, asking, “You mean Gu Changle ordered you to kidnap Yi and Miaomiao?”

Zhang Lei nodded, replying, “Yes.”

Shao Tianze turned to ask Gu Yi, “Is he right?”

Seeing that Shao Tianze turned to ask Gu Yi, he replied one step ahead of Gu Yi, “Childe Gu and Miss Miaomiao had been locked in the room, so they didn’t know who kidnapped them.”

“So I need to hear the other side of the story.”

With this, Shao Tianze held Miaomiao in his arms and got off the car with Gu Yi.

Seeing Shao Tianze got into his bodyguards’ car with his children and left, Zhang Lei couldn’t help but frown.

Then he called Song Yunxuan.

Seeing that the call was from Zhang Lei, Song Yunxuan answered the phone at once.

Zhang Lei said to Song Yunxuan, “Miss Song, I’ve done what you told me to do. But if you don’t allow Childe Gu Yi to testify, Shao Tianze won’t believe me.”

“I know.” Song Yunxuan replied faintly.

“But…”

“Enough. Even if Yi testifies against Gu Changle, Shao Tianze will not buy it. Not only that, Gu Changle will hate Gu Yi even more because of this. I can’t put him at risk.”

Zhang Lei suddenly understood Song Yunxuan.

“But Miss Song, you can’t eliminate Gu Changle in this way.”

“But I can get rid of Ding Ali.”

Song Yunxuan’s voice went through the phone.

Zhang Lei couldn’t really understand that.

But Song Yunxuan didn’t want to explain anymore. She said, “I’ve arranged everything for you. What will happen next is none of your business. You can leave Yuncheng now.”

“Thank you for setting me free.”

“As long as you are willing to lead a new life, you have to get rid of your past. Luckily, you have no criminal record. Otherwise, I can’t whitewash you if you are wiped out this time.”

Hearing Song Yunxuan’s words, the man thanked her repeatedly.

What Song Yunxuan cared about was not such civilities, so she nodded faintly and hung up the phone after exchanging a few words with him.

Actually, compared with this, what was going on in the Shao Family was something she was more concerned about.

…

Along the way, Shao Tianze recalled Zhang Lei’s words and how Gu Changle reacted after knowing that Gu Yi and Miaomiao had been kidnapped.

He had a suspicious nature, so he had doubted Gu Changle before.

It was just that he didn’t want to believe Gu Changle would do such things.

When he was about to get to the Shao Family, he turned to look at Gu Yi, asking him, “Yi, tell me. Did Changle kidnap you and Miaomiao?”

Looking at Shao Tianze’s eyes, Gu Yi remained silent for a moment. Then he replied, “I don’t know, either.”

Actually, Gu Yi wanted very much to nod and give Shao Tianze a definite answer.

But the words stuck in his throat as he didn’t know whether he should say it or not.

Besides, since Song Yunxuan let someone bring him and Miaomiao back.

He knew that there must be a plan.

Though the man let Shao Tianze suspect that Gu Changle kidnapped Gu Yi, he cut Gu Yi off when Shao Tianze was about to confirm with him and answered for him.

It was clear that the man didn’t want Gu Yi to take a stand on this.

The man must have followed Song Yunxuan’s order.

That was to say, Song Yunxuan didn’t want Gu Yi to testify against Gu Changle.

Since it was arranged by Song Yunxuan and was what she expected, he would behave as Song Yunxuan expected him to.
