Chapter 975: He Bet Right

Gu Jin saw An Mingji off to school, returned to the house to change clothes, and prepared to meet Minmin.

She had just changed her clothes when she received a call from Gu Jiajie.

"Xiao Jin, something happened to Minmin!"

Gu Jin, who had just walked out of the bedroom door, stopped in her tracks, her delicate brows slightly furrowed: "What happened?"

Gu Jiajie informed her of the situation.

While Qiu Qianghai was sleeping peacefully and Mingji was struggling to endure the headache, Gu Jiajie and Gu Jin were already in a state of panic.

They didn’t know who took Minmin, and although Lu Qing’s tone suggested Minmin knew those people and wouldn’t be in danger, they couldn’t be sure nothing would happen.

In this day and age, surveillance wasn’t yet widespread, but Shijiu Entertainment Company always had advanced surveillance equipment, even in the dorms of its artists.

After meeting, Gu Jin and Gu Jiajie went straight to check the surveillance.

Through the screen, they could clearly see that the people who took Minmin were Du Nan and his group.

"What’s going on with them?!"

Seeing Du Nan, Gu Jiajie breathed a sigh of relief but was still shocked.

Standing to the side, Gu Jin stared intently at the scene of Du Nan inviting Minmin into the car, her beautiful eyes showing confusion.

Clearly, she was also puzzled about how Minmin could know Du Nan.

Could it be that Brother Hai already knows Mingji’s true identity?

Thinking of this possibility, the worry in Gu Jin’s heart slowly dissipated.

She turned her head to look at her cousin, and the worry and caution on his face were all taken in by Gu Jin, who tentatively asked: "Could Brother Hai know Minmin’s identity?"

"Impossible!"

Gu Jiajie’s tone was firm.

He had different thoughts from Gu Jin, and upon seeing Du Nan taking Minmin away, images of girls with similar appearances to Minmin that had been around Brother Hai before flashed in his mind.

Could it be that Brother Hai saw a shadow of Minmin in Mingji and wanted to find something from him as he did before?

But the other party clearly said he would never, never look for girls similar to Minmin again.

Gu Jiajie’s hand by his side clenched tightly into a fist, his eyes fixed on the surveillance screen as the car Mingji and Du Nan were in slowly drove out of the surveillance range.

He turned around and left with big strides, exuding apparent anger.

Gu Jin glanced at the surveillance, her eyes filled with contemplation before turning to follow him.

...

Left Bank Pavilion.

Qiu Qianghai was still fast asleep, his arms wrapped tightly around Mingji without letting go.

Mingji leaned against his embrace, motionless.

Du Nan stood in front of the balcony, looking at the scene downstairs, feeling a sense of inexplicable relief.

The boss had taken Mingji into the bedroom, he knew, and it had been very quiet inside.

He understood that the boss must have fallen asleep.

Although he hadn’t seen the scene in the living room before, he knew the boss had had an attack.

He didn’t appear because he knew the boss wouldn’t harm Mingji.

He had long noticed the boss’s attitude towards Mingji was different from those women before.

This time, he made the right bet.

Du Nan, feeling rare relaxation, didn’t mind the two black sedans visible downstairs and turned to walk towards the living room.

"Ding dong ding dong..."

Sitting in the living room, organizing documents sent by company staff, Du Nan heard the urgent doorbell ringing and a hint of displeasure appeared in his eyes.

Who would be so insensitive as to disturb at this hour?

He quickly stood up, his eyes worriedly scanning towards the bedroom, taking steps towards the door.

Du Nan opened the door, his previously displeased expression immediately disappeared upon seeing the two imposing figures outside.

"Miss Gu, Boss Gu."

"Where’s Brother Hai?"

Gu Jiajie, not in the mood for pleasantries, stepped past him directly into the living room.
