Soon after, Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin emerged from the supermarket with two bodyguards carrying numerous shopping bags.
"Please wait a moment, ladies. We'll go get the car," said one of the bodyguards.
"Alright, go ahead," they replied.
The two bodyguards headed to the parking lot with the bags while Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin waited by the roadside.
"Yutian, can I ask you something?" Tang Yunjin hesitated for a moment before continuing, "What's your relationship with Chenan now?"
"Why are you asking that?" Bai Yutian felt a bit embarrassed.
"Oh, just curious," Tang Yunjin replied awkwardly, touching her face.
"Oh?" Bai Yutian leaned in with a mischievous grin. "Don't tell me... you like Young Master Gu?"
"Whoa! Even though he calls you 'Little Sister Tang,' you're actually his master. You're falling for your own disciple? That's against human ethics!"
"Who... who says I like him?!" Tang Yunjin turned her head away. "Besides, we never had an official ceremony when Chenan became my disciple, so I'm not really his master!"
"Oh?" Bai Yutian leaned in again teasingly. "You're acting very suspicious, you know!"
"Oh, shut up!" Tang Yunjin punched Bai Yutian playfully.
"Ouch! You hit me! I'm telling Young Master Gu!" Bai Yutian cried, holding her cheek.
...
"Brother Cao, stop for a moment!"
At that moment, Lin Yu in the van noticed Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin by the roadside.
His face lit up with excitement as he quickly asked the driver to stop.
"What's wrong?" Cao Mang asked as he slowed down.
Lin Yu pointed at Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin, grinning widely. "Those two are also Gu Chenan's women!"
Lin Yu had previously harbored some illusions about these female protagonists, believing they were close to Gu Chenan against their will.
But Su Qianmo's words earlier had made Lin Yu face reality.
He understood now that he had been deluding himself all this time.
Frustrated by his unrequited love, Lin Yu suddenly came up with a new plan.
If they were kidnapping one, why not take all three? It made no difference.
Cao Mang lowered the window and took a good look at Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin, his eyes widening.
"Damn, Gu Chenan isn't just lucky in love, he's drowning in it!"
Lin Yu gritted his teeth. "Let's take them both!"
The van slowly came to a stop. Lin Yu and Cao Mang, both heavily disguised, got out of the vehicle.
They each held a handkerchief soaked in anesthetic, approaching Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin swiftly.
"Help—mmph!"
Before they could even cry out for help, Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin fell unconscious.
...
The van started up again, driving away along its planned route.
Just then, the two bodyguards arrived in a black Hummer.
"Where are Miss Bai and Miss Tang?"
"Weren't they supposed to wait here? How did they disappear?"
The two bodyguards looked at each other in confusion.
...
The watch showed 9 AM.
Gu Chenan glanced at the time, yawned, and got up from the sofa to grab a bottle of soda from the fridge.
He opened it and took a big gulp, letting out a satisfied burp.
[I wonder if I'll get to drink chicken soup for lunch?]
As soon as this thought crossed his mind, Gu Chenan was startled. He quickly shook his head to dispel such a ridiculous notion.
[I can't put all my hopes on Bai Yutian for lunch. What if she turns out to be the Salt King again and I end up waiting for nothing?]
[Mingrui said yesterday that she learned many new dishes. Maybe I should let her show off her skills.]
Gu Chenan took out his phone and called Liu Mingrui, who agreed without hesitation.
She was already in her car by the time she answered the call.
It's worth noting that people who have been on the battlefield have unparalleled execution skills.
Soon, Liu Mingrui's car arrived at the Gu Family residence.
Dressed in a white knit sweater and a floral skirt, Liu Mingrui got out of the car and headed straight for the main hall, her face beaming with an irrepressible smile and love.
"What's this? Did you miss me?" she asked as soon as she entered.
Gu Chenan shrugged. "A little bit."
"A little?!" Liu Mingrui approached him fiercely. "Say that again!"
Gu Chenan sighed helplessly. "I missed you a lot. Is that better?"
"That's more like it." Liu Mingrui visibly cheered up.
Gu Chenan looked at Liu Mingrui and sighed. "To be honest, I prefer how you were the night before last. Gentle, like a little girl."
Liu Mingrui smirked proudly. "That's a drunk-only special!"
"Well then... want a drink?" Gu Chenan raised an eyebrow.
Liu Mingrui gave him a disapproving look. "Let's get to business. Did you prepare the ingredients?"
"Oh, not yet."
"Then what are you waiting for? Go buy them!"
Gu Chenan smiled. "No worries, I asked Yutian and the others to bring some back."
He took out his phone to make a call.
But before he could dial, an incoming call came through.
It was one of the two bodyguards who had accompanied Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin.
"Hello, what's the matter?" Gu Chenan asked.
"Young... Young Master Gu, Miss Bai and Miss Tang have disappeared!" The bodyguard's voice was filled with panic.
"What?!" Gu Chenan's eyes widened. "Tell me everything. What exactly happened?"
The bodyguard swallowed hard and explained nervously, "After we finished shopping with the two ladies and left the supermarket, we went to get the car. But when we drove back, we couldn't find them. Their phones are also unreachable."
Hearing this, Gu Chenan immediately flew into a rage. "Why did both of you go to get the car? Couldn't one of you have stayed with them?"
"Young Master Gu, we know we—"
Gu Chenan cut off the bodyguard's apology. "Save it. Where are you now? I'll bring people over right away."
"What happened?" Liu Mingrui asked as Gu Chenan ended the call.
Gu Chenan gritted his teeth. "Bai Yutian and Tang Yunjin have disappeared!"
"Come on, it's not a big deal. They're adults, how far could they go?" Liu Mingrui tried to comfort him.
"No, it's not that simple." Gu Chenan shook his head, his eyes blazing with anger. "Someone's out for revenge against me. They might have kidnapped them!"
"Really?!" Liu Mingrui was shocked.
"Yes." Gu Chenan nodded.
Immediately, Liu Mingrui took out her phone and dialed a number. "Hello, mobilize all Liu Family members. We need to find two girls, now!"
"I'll send you the details about the two girls!"
Gu Chenan also took out his phone and called the Gu Family butler. "Everyone, assemble at the estate, quickly!"
