The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

PS: Sorry for the late update tonight, something came up, hope everyone can forgive me!!

"That's the case, then never mind. You've just finished exams, probably hanging out with classmates," Tang Rao said with a smile.

In fact, Tang Rao was very clear in his mind that Gu Shengtai was most likely already dead.

As for who killed him, that was exactly what Tang Rao wanted to know.

"Speaking of which, how long have you been talking with Gu Shengtai? This guy is always so secretive." Tang Rao asked casually, as if chatting with a friend, deliberately creating an impression that he had a good relationship with Gu Shengtai.

"It's been over half a year, I guess…" Liu Yu said with a laugh.

"Is that so? That's quite a long time. Shengtai is quite a decent person," Tang Rao said.

"Mhm, he is indeed a good guy. And smart, too. Sometimes he thinks of things I'd never come up with," Liu Yu continued, taking over from Tang Rao's comment.

"How's it been recently? I heard Shengtai has been having some trouble," Tang Rao asked seriously, "Tell me about it. If there's a way I can help, I might be able to do something."

According to Jiang Langhuan, Gu Shengtai should be a decent person in normal times.

Getting along well with both Jiang Langhuan and Jiang Langyue isn't an easy feat.

Especially Jiang Langhuan. Although she may seem a bit timid, she's very perceptive; pretending in front of her isn't going to be easy.

Tang Rao guessed that Gu Shengtai used to be upright but ran into trouble recently, which led him down the wrong path.

"I really don't know the specifics; these past days he often spaces out while walking. He wouldn't tell me when I asked, just told me not to worry about it," Liu Yu said, shaking her head with a look of helplessness in her eyes.

"What do you think? Could he have encountered some trouble?" Tang Rao continued to inquire.

As someone who managed to get into Sui City University, Liu Yu is certainly no fool and must know something.

"I know he has a father, maybe it's about his dad's issues. But that's just my guess. Even though we've been talking for half a year, I still can't seem to reach his heart," Liu Yu said, her eyes filled with helplessness. She loved Gu Shengtai, but maybe Gu Shengtai only saw her as someone to sleep with. To him, she wasn't that important.

"Oh, right… He's been frequently calling a man, and I don't know who it is. I just secretly took a note of the phone number." Liu Yu took out her phone and showed the recorded number to Tang Rao.

"Tang Rao, if you can help Shengtai, please do so. I mean, I know he's also having a tough time," Liu Yu said earnestly.

"Don't worry," Tang Rao nodded at Liu Yu and then turned his head to look at Yan Wei.

Yan Wei had also been paying attention and saw the phone number on Liu Yu's phone.

In just this short time, Yan Wei had already found out.

It has to be said, the guy really has a knack for gathering intelligence.

"Things seem to be getting more interesting," Yan Wei passed the phone to Tang Rao, displaying the owner information for the phone number.

"He Fei…" Tang Rao's mouth curled into a slight smile as he saw the owner's name.

This matter, as expected, was related to He Fei.

"Fat Bear, what do you think, could He Fei also be gone?" Tang Rao asked with a smile.

"The likelihood is over sixty percent," Yan Wei shrugged, giving a figure.

His thoughts were not far from Tang Rao's.

Destroying a villa in such a way, could He Fei have done it?

Even if he had the will, did he have the means? Getting explosives in the territory of Yan Country isn't easy.

He Fei is most likely just a middleman.

If the mastermind behind the scenes could get rid of Gu Shengtai to cut off future problems, they certainly wouldn't leave He Fei around.

"Holy shit, Boss Tang... stop mumbling, come sing a song!" Zhou Boxiong shouted with the mic, calling out to Tang Rao.

"Sing one!"

"Right, sing a song!"

"Everyone record this later, it's the rich boss singing!"

Tang Rao: "..."

"Boss Tang, hurry, I've requested a classic old song for you: Farewell My Concubine! I think this song suits you perfectly! In one word: Dope!" Zhou Boxiong shouted.

Tang Rao rolled his eyes to the sky; Farewell My Concubine? Farewell, my ass. He couldn't sing it at all.

Buzz...

Tang Rao's phone in his pocket rang just in time.

"Um, you guys go ahead and sing, I need to take a call. Look, it's real..." Tang Rao pointed at his phone screen, indeed showing an incoming call.

Everyone snorted.

Especially the girls, who all laughed with excitement.

Not having much contact with Boss Tang usually, they hadn't expected him to be such a fun person.

After Tang Rao stepped outside, he pressed the answer button.

"Who is it?" Tang Rao asked, as the call display showed an unknown number.

"Tang... Tang Rao... save... me..." A raspy and intermittent voice came from the phone.

Tang Rao's eyes widened in shock; Gu Shengtai!

He's not dead!

"Where are you?" Tang Rao asked immediately.

"Save..." Before Gu Shengtai could finish, the call was cut off.

Tang Rao didn't call back; instead, he rushed straight into the private room.

"Fat Bear, take good care of everyone, I have an emergency, Yan Wei, come out with me fast," Tang Rao said anxiously.

It was clear that Gu Shengtai was hanging by a thread.

A moment's delay could very well mean not being able to save him.

Tang Rao didn't care so much about whether Gu Shengtai lived or died; he just didn't want to lose this breakthrough.

Through Gu Shengtai, the probability of finding the person behind the scenes would be much higher.

Moreover, this guy Gu Shengtai truly was a formidable and intelligent person, not only smart but also incredibly ruthless.

Especially towards himself, ruthlessly chilling.

Even in the sauna room, the man stubbornly refused to say anything.

"Tang Rao, what's going on?" Yan Wei asked as he followed Tang Rao out.

"Just now Gu Shengtai called, he's not dead and asked me to save him," Tang Rao said hurriedly, "But the call was cut off midway, I don't know his exact location, see if you can find it."

"Give me the phone," Yan Wei said, not wasting any words, and directly asked for Tang Rao's phone.

Tang Rao drove straight to Boshuwan with the car; if Gu Shengtai was lucky enough to survive, he probably wouldn't be too far from there.

As for Yan Wei, he was frantically pressing on the phone.

"I've got a rough direction, but I can't guarantee it's accurate," Yan Wei suddenly said.

"Speak."

"Turn right at the intersection ahead, head southwest towards Boshuwan," Yan Wei pointed to a road sign 300 meters ahead.

Tang Rao sped up the car very fast, and as soon as Yan Wei pointed it out, they arrived, taking a sharp turn that nearly sent the car flying.

"Are we there yet?" Ten minutes later, Tang Rao furrowed his brows.

This place was already ten kilometers away from Boshuwan. Could Gu Shengtai have made it this far after being in trouble at Boshuwan?

Ten kilometers for someone badly injured, who couldn't even speak properly, was definitely no easy feat.

"The location is just ahead, turn left and pull over," Yan Wei said quickly.

Tang Rao controlled the car to drift into the curve, then slammed on the brakes hard, coming to a dead stop beside a big river.
