Even though Gu Ci had seen various potions, he was still stunned by the one in her hand.
Is such a beautiful liquid really a potion?
The little woman's eyes shone: "This is the ingredient left in the medicine bottle by my master. I have analyzed it and restored the medicinal plants. Now I can basically confirm the list of several medicinal materials. As long as I can find all these medicinal materials,
, we can determine where my master disappeared in the Snowfield Continent."
She raised her eyes as she spoke, "By the way, has Mu Cang not given up yet? Everyone in the Snowfield Continent wants the medicinal materials, so he can't let them go, right?"
Gu Ci nodded: "The Snowfield Continent is a pure land, whoever takes it first will have an advantage, and Mu Cang is certainly no exception."
"Very good, then we can make a deal with him."
He was a little surprised: "Making a deal with Mu Cang?"
"Don't be jealous. I don't want to contact him alone, but we are together." She blinked her big eyes and said firmly every word, "Even if Mu Cang occupies most of the medicinal materials in the Snowfield Continent, we also
It’s not that there is no chance of winning. No one knows better than me how to use and prepare these medicinal materials, and what kind of pharmaceutical formulas they can be put into.”
The little woman came closer, and her breath was like orchid, which was alluring.
"Also, my husband is amazing. Is the cultivation of medicinal plants at Yaowang Mountain getting better?"
She blew into his ear.
Who can stop such a beautiful lady who has won the country from being courted?
What's more, she is still his favorite person.
Gu Ci felt distracted for a while, and directly grabbed her slender waist and pressed it against the tip of her nose: "Don't make trouble, your current state is inappropriate."
She suddenly blushed like a big apple.
It’s not easy to ask what’s inappropriate, let alone when it’s appropriate…
She gave him a stern look.
The two of them were cuddling together and talking quietly when suddenly, her cell phone rang.
It's a call from the Li family, and it's Mr. Li on the other end.
"Hey, Dad, how are you doing lately?"
"Has your sister contacted you today?" Mr. Li's voice was still calm, but his words were a little more uneasy.
"No, I have a rest today. By the way, she told me yesterday that she was going to attend a meeting out of town today, so she probably hasn't come back yet."
"She left last night. Before she left, she said she would be back at noon today. There is a document waiting for her to sign at home. It's already afternoon, but she still hasn't come back, and her mobile phone has been turned off."
Mr. Li finally showed his panic.
"how come……"
Cheng Lu's heart tightened and he quickly reassured her, "Dad, don't worry. I'll ask Ah Ci to help you contact her. It may be that the plane is delayed, her phone may be broken, or she is suddenly busy with something. If there is any news, I will immediately
contact you."
She hung up the phone, and Gu Ci picked up the phone and started searching.
After a while, the news came to Gu Ci.
He said: "Li Xiumeng arrived in City L on a plane at 8:40 last night, stayed at the Junyi Hotel, dined at the hotel restaurant at 7 in the morning, and then attended the meeting. Then... she did not come out of the meeting room."
She was taken aback.
Mr. Li must have checked it himself and came to find Cheng Lu after not finding his daughter's whereabouts.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ci could find out all this information with just one phone call.
"You didn't come out of the conference room? Does that mean the meeting hasn't ended yet?"
"No, the meeting has ended long ago. Other participants have already left the hotel, and some have taken flights back to their own cities."
This... is a big problem.
Li Xiumeng went to a meeting, but no one was there.
She bit her lower lip: "This is not right. Tell the Li family the news and let dad find it."
"Um."
The information Gu Ci gave was quite comprehensive, including a list of people attending the meeting, as well as their current hotel or residence address and contact information.
Mr. Li thanked him profusely and hung up the phone in a hurry.
Cheng Lu was also worried.
Li Xiumeng is really a big sister to her.
She didn't want anything to happen to Li Xiumeng...
But why is my heart beating so fast? I feel so uneasy.
The baby in her belly seemed to sense her emotions and released energy surrounding her.
She was hugged by the man from behind, and she felt at ease and warm.
"Don't worry, I will continue to pay attention to this matter. The Li family is not a soft persimmon, and they are not easy to bully. Even if someone wants to misbehave with Sister Li, they have to think about it. I have already reported it to the police, and we will be prepared.
.”
"Um."
She nodded slightly and lowered her long eyelashes.
Two days later, the good news still had not arrived, and Li Xiumeng seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Gu Ci settled the affairs here and followed Mr. Li to City L to investigate.
That night, Cheng Lu received an anonymous text message with only a link in it.
At first, she thought it was an advertisement or a scam and didn't click on it at all.
But soon, a second text message came.
——Don’t you want to see how your good sister is doing now?
Her heart tightened and she quickly clicked on the link, which contained a video.
The dark room was messy, and Li Xiumeng was blindfolded, gagged, and tied to a chair. It could be seen that her face was a little tired, and her body was dirty and covered with dust.
I just wanted to see more, but the video ended abruptly here.
The third text message was sent.
——If you want to save her, you come here alone. You are not allowed to call the police or tell Gu Ci, otherwise, you will never see your good sister again.
Cheng Lu immediately fell into the ice hole after seeing this content.
She immediately called Gu Ci. As soon as the call was connected, she received another text message on her phone.
——Want to call your husband? Haha, you can try it.
Cheng Lu bit his lower lip and panicked for a moment.
On the other end of the phone, Gu Ci asked: "You're still up so late. Didn't you say good night just now? What's wrong with you?"
The man's voice was still full of tenderness.
Cheng Lu calmed down: "No, I just miss you. When will you come back? I feel lonely at home alone."
Gu Ci paused: "Soon."
"Really? Then you have to hurry up, I can't wait any longer."
She talked sweetly to Gu Ci for a while before hanging up the phone.
Look at the phone, sure enough!
After just now, she received another text message.
——Come or not?
She gritted her teeth and replied: Who are you?
——Hehe, for someone you don’t know, Li Xiumeng is in my hands. Think about it clearly. Maybe she is not related to you by blood, so you can probably turn your back on her and leave her alone.
Do you want Cheng Lu to turn his back on you?
How can this be?
She has always been clear about grudges and grudges, and she can still think of Li Xiumeng's kindness to her when she closes her eyes.
Cheng Lu: I will go. Since you want me to go, you should know that nothing happens to my sister before that.
