The Rebirth of a Top Star

Shen Du followed closely behind Gu Leqi out and got into Gu Leqi's car.

The interior was decorated in a cute style, clearly not to Gu Leqi's liking. Shen Du asked knowingly, "Is this your sister's car?"

Gu Leqi was filled with anger. He hadn't heard a word Shen Du said. All he wanted to do was go home.

Ask Gu Leyi what exactly happened.

No one should bully their own family members.

After all, Gu Leqi was still young, and he was pressing the accelerator very fast, unable to suppress his inner thoughts at all.

Shen Du was terrified. He gripped the door handle tightly, not daring to relax, and he could still feel the pain from being pulled on the back of his head.

He didn't know whether he should speak up or not.

He shouldn't have said that, and he shouldn't have influenced Gu Leqi at a time like this.

But then he remembered Gu Yingzi's cold gaze, and how the contracts in his family had been held by Gu Yingzi for a long time without being distributed. Shen Du thought of his father at home, his temples gray, and the words he had spoken to him.

Shen Du hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

Stopped at a traffic light, Shen Du tried to speak again, but Gu Leqi's sudden acceleration welded him tightly to the seat, along with his vocal cords.

Gu Leqi happened to notice Shen Du's repeated attempts to speak, so he found an empty driveway and stopped on the side of the road: "If you want to get out, just say so. I have something to do."

This means they want you to get off the bus.

Shen Du's hand was still tucked in there, not moving away.

"That's not what I meant, Le Qi." Now that he didn't say it, he would never have another chance. Shen Du knew this was his last chance, so he brought it up casually.

"Are you going to find Shen Nanqiao?" Shen Du asked directly.

They mostly hear jokes in their circle, so everyone knows Shen Nanqiao's name. News spreads as fast in the wealthy circles as it does in the entertainment industry.

"Why should I look for Shen Nanqiao?" Gu Leqi was so angry about what Gu Yingzi had said that he just wanted to go home and ask his sister properly. Once he was sure that his sister had really been wronged, Gu Leqi would find the right person to help him solve the problem.

Gu Leqi's chest heaved wildly. Shen Du turned on the recorder on his phone, hid it to his side, and said to Gu Leqi, "Then you might as well go directly to Shen Nanqiao. If your sister and brother-in-law really agreed to break up, you won't get any information from them."

Gu Leqi took Shen Du's words to heart and agreed with them.

Seeing that Gu Leqi had overheard, Shen Du continued, "If your sister doesn't know about this, wouldn't you be adding fuel to the fire by telling her?"

Shen Du is now acting as Gu Leqi's strategist, his analyses are incredibly insightful.

Gu Leqi was indeed listening to what Shen Du was saying. He trusted Shen Du and even asked him for advice on what he should do.

The car hummed along the roadside, and Gu Leqi's hands were tapping involuntarily on the steering wheel. Gu Leqi had poor eyesight, and Shen Du found it frightening.

He swallowed hard, and finally blurted out, "I think you should go directly to Shen Nanqiao. She's the one really involved, and you can resolve your sister's matter quietly."

Shen Du has shamelessly started calling her "sister."

Gu Leqi remained silent for a long time, perhaps deep in thought. Just when Shen Du thought the matter was hopeless, he turned off the recording on his phone, already wondering if he would get a severe beating from Gu Yingzi tomorrow because he hadn't succeeded in getting things done.

Shen Du had already begun to mourn silently in his heart when, unexpectedly, Gu Leqi suddenly spoke up: "Let's go, let's go find her."

Since Shen Du came prepared, he knew where Shen Nanqiao was.

Before Gu Leqi could make any preparations, Shen Du had already figured out the manpower needed, the confirmed locations, and Shen Nanqiao's current movements, and told Gu Leqi everything directly.

At this moment, Gu Leqi was so frustrated that he felt like his brain was about to burst, and he had no doubt as to why the person next to him knew so much.

He simply followed the navigation and set off.

By the time he realized what was happening, Shen Nanqiao's hands were already tied, and she was sitting in the back seat of her own car—or rather, the back seat of her sister's car.

Gu Leqi couldn't help but keep glancing at Shen Nanqiao through the car's rearview mirror. Shen Nanqiao was very calm, even though she was wearing a cool long dress that exposed her shoulders.

His hands were tied in front of him, and he couldn't move at all.

It wasn't just Shen Nanqiao who was clearly out of sorts; even Shen Du and Gu Leqi, who were ahead of her, hadn't expected things to go so smoothly. The van that was following behind quietly left after dropping off Gu Leqi at the destination he had led them to.

Gu Leqi and Shen Du, holding onto the rope, didn't notice the nearby surveillance equipment and pulled Shen Nanqiao directly into Gu Leqi's long-standing property.

The house hadn't been cleaned and was covered in a thick layer of dust. The moment the door was opened, the dust that swirled up with the movement seemed to be welcoming homeowners, forcing Gu Leqi and Shen Du to cover their mouths and noses with one hand.

In contrast, Shen Nanqiao's situation is much more miserable; she is still unsure where these kidnappers came from.

She wanted to call the police, but she couldn't find her phone in the inside pocket of her skirt, and she didn't dare to make any sudden movements.

But the only thing that can be confirmed is that these two people are either novices or complete novices.

Even the characters in the TV series know that kidnapping involves confiscating the hostage's communication devices, but these two were completely unaware of this.

Shen Nanqiao was seated on a sofa covered with a white sheet. This must be the property of the taller boy, who had just found the key and opened the door.

This is another major taboo, and Shen Nanqiao's anxiety has subsided somewhat.

The problem is not big.

Shen Nanqiao sat comfortably, unaware of the brand of the sofa beneath the white cloth. It was even more comfortable than the one she currently lived in. As she examined the sofa beneath her, her fear had diminished to a minimum.

After Gu Leqi and Shen Du confirmed that no one was following them, they finally faced Shen Nanqiao.

Shen Du stood behind Gu Leqi and sent a message to Gu Yingzi with his back to him: "The matter has been taken care of. What's the next step?"

Yes, even those random people were arranged by Gu Yingzi in an instant.

Shen Nanqiao finally realized that the person in front of her had something to say. She placed her hands properly on her thighs, effectively concealing the cell phone marks under her skirt so that the person standing there couldn't see them.

On the other hand, Shen Nanqiao found Gu Leqi's face increasingly familiar, as if she had seen it somewhere before.

Yet I'm not sure; there's a slight resemblance, but I can't recall anyone exactly like them.

Shen Nanqiao winked at Gu Leqi, who was at a loss. Gu Leqi reached out and pulled Shen Du, who was hiding behind him playing on his phone, over. "What do we do next? Tell me!!"

Gu Leqi's mind was a complete mess, with only one thought in his head.

He broke the law; if his family finds out, they'll beat him to death!
