When she was finally finished, Gu Ning called Leng Shaoting.
Leng Shaoting picked up her call within a second, which meant that he was waiting for her call. In fact, Leng Shaoting ached to call Gu Ning, but he was unwilling to interrupt her if she was busy.
“Ningning, is it done?” Leng Shaoting asked.
“Yeah, almost, but I still need to stay here for a while longer. I’ll tell you everything when I get back,” Gu Ning said. “Where are you right now?”
“I’m in the same room of the Shengshi Hotel,” Leng Shaoting replied.
“Great, I’ll come to you later. Oh, have you eaten?” Gu Ning asked.
“Not yet,” Leng Shaoting said, and sounded slightly aggrieved.
Gu Ning felt a little guilty, because she had promised Leng Shaoting and her friends that they would dine together, but she dumped them at the airport. “Well, go eat something if you’re hungry now. I should be back at the hotel in an hour at least.”
She was in a suburb now, and it would take at least 20 minutes for the police to arrive here. City B was a big city, so she had to spend most of her time on the road.
“Nope, I’ll wait for you so that we can have night snacks together!” Leng Shaoting said and sounded like a happy little boy. He was willing to wait for her.
“Fine,” Gu Ning said. She chatted with Leng Shaoting for a short while longer, then hung up. Afterwards, she called Qiao Ya.
Qiao Ya and the others were still enjoying night snacks at this moment.
Gu Ning told Qiao Ya that she would be back at the hotel an hour later, and that she would meet Chu Peihan and the others there.
…
“Is it our boss? Is she free now?”
Chu Peihan and the others all turned to look at Qiao Ya while she spoke with Gu Ning on the phone. Once she hung up the call, Hao Ran asked her that question.
“Yeah, she’ll be at the hotel after an hour, and you can meet her there,” Qiao Ya said.
“Great!”
Since Gu Ning was still busy dealing with something, they agreed to listen to her.
…
Gu Ning called Gu Man next, and told her that she would come back late.
Gu Man was a very considerate mother, and she never forced Gu Ning to do anything, but because of Gu Man’s wedding, the Tang family would come to pick her up at 8 am tomorrow morning, so Gu Ning couldn’t stay outside tonight.
After making those calls, Gu Ning waited for five minutes before she heard the police sirens in the distance. She walked out at once, and took out a flashlight from the telepathic eye space.
Several police cars stopped in front of the villa, and a team of policemen got out of them.
“Miss Gu, nice to meet you. I’m the vice director of the Public Security Bureau, Ke Mingze,” Ke Mingze said to Gu Ning politely. Given Gu Ning’s previous achievements, there was no reason for him not to be respectful.
“Nice to meet you too, Director Ke,” Gu Ning said with respect and confidence.
Ke Mingze admired Gu Ning’s attitude. He believed that this young girl was meant to be outstanding among her peers.
The policemen who stood behind Ke Mingze all looked at Gu Ning with admiration. They finally got the chance to see this unbelievable girl with their own eyes.
“Miss Gu, where is the abducted girl?” A couple who followed Ke Mingze asked Gu Ning anxiously. They were too anxious to greet Gu Ning now, because their missing daughter occupied their mind.
Although they hadn’t seen the abducted girl yet, they were almost sure that it must be their daughter.
“She’s in the living room. Let’s go inside,” Gu Ning said, then walked into the villa, followed by the others.
When the couple saw the girl sitting on the chair, they ran towards her calling, “Nuannuan? Nuannuan?”
However, no matter how they called the girl’s name, the girl wouldn’t wake up. Gu Ning explained at once, “Don’t worry, she’s fine, but was drugged, so she’s still unconscious now. She should wake up in a few hours.”
Gu Ning was afraid that the girl might be scared if she woke her up right now, so she didn’t help her with her power. If she could see her parents when she opened her eyes again, she might stay calm.
Hearing that, the girl’s parents were relieved. Her father carried her in his arms at once, then thanked Gu Ning, “Miss Gu, thank you so much for saving our daughter’s life.”
“My pleasure. It’s just a coincidence. You should send her to the hospital now though,” Gu Ning said.
Even though the girl was fine now, they wouldn’t stop worrying until the doctors said that to them.
Gu Ning had encountered the crime by accident, but it was still true that she had saved the girl’s life, so the girl’s parents repeatedly thanked Gu Ning before they left.
The girl’s father said to Ke Mingze on his way out, “Director Ke, please conduct a thorough investigation on this case.”
“Division Chief Zhang, it’s my duty to do so, and I promise to find the truth!” Ke Mingze said.
After the couple left, Ke Mingze asked Gu Ning, “Miss Gu, would you please tell us what happened?”
They trusted Gu Ning, and believed that she was a life-saver, not a criminal.
