Campus Ace Girl-Chapter 776 - 777: Shen Wanqing is Kidnapped

Gu Anxi hummed softly, then asked quietly, "Papa Bo, did you see Shen Wanqing last night?"

Bo Nianyao sat down and took a sip of tea. "Yes, I saw her. That girl is as spirited as ever."

Gu Anxi sat beside him, looking directly at Bo Nianyao. "Has her great work been published yet?"

Hearing this, Bo Nianyao chuckled. "She’s probably still writing it. Young girls are often impulsive and like to be in the spotlight; it’s not always a good thing. If she makes too much of a splash this time, someone will surely teach her a lesson."

Gu Anxi nodded, obediently keeping Bo Nianyao company.

Bo Nianyao was extremely fond of her. When their conversation shifted, he took out some treasures for them to admire together. In the past, Elder He would always come over to discuss things with them, but recently, for some unknown reason, Elder He hadn’t been visiting as often. Bo Nianyao only thought to invite him after he himself was free, but the wife of Anxi’s master mentioned that the old fellow wasn’t feeling too well.

Bo Nianyao sighed. They really were getting old. As he lamented, he set up a chessboard, carefully watching the girl, afraid she might not want to play chess with him.

Gu Anxi found it somewhat amusing. Papa Bo must have been a bit bored lately. In the past, at least he had Second Uncle Bo to keep him company.

Thinking of Bo Qing, she also grew silent.

Second Uncle Bo was a sore spot for the Bo Family. Everyone felt bad about it, but they all pretended not to care. And so, as the two of them drank tea and played chess, they gradually put the matter out of their minds.

Just before dinnertime, Chen Ming called, his tone somewhat urgent. "Anxi, that painter with the surname Shen has been kidnapped."

Gu Anxi was a little surprised. "Shen Wanqing?"

Chen Ming nodded. "Yes. People from the newspaper agency couldn’t contact her. They checked the hotel’s surveillance footage and discovered she’d been kidnapped. It’s probably related to that article."

"And the article?" Gu Anxi asked casually.

Chen Ming chuckled. "Actually, she hadn’t even written it yet!"

Gu Anxi laughed too. "So, she’s afraid of dying. That’s smart of her, in a way. But if she were truly smart, she would have packed her things and returned to Qingcheng immediately."

Chen Ming asked her to come to the scene. Gu Anxi, still on the phone, told Bo Nianyao about it. Bo Nianyao was quite agreeable. "Alright, if Chen Ming wants you to go, then go. Just don’t forget to eat."

Gu Anxi nodded, exchanged a few more words with Chen Ming, and then headed to the scene. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

About an hour later, she arrived and found Zhou Yunchen and Jiang Chaoge already there.

Jiang Chaoge, who had recently returned from studying abroad, kept complaining about the poor public security in Beicheng, claiming that such things would never happen in France or England.

Gu Anxi glanced at her, amused. "Weren’t you the one who invited Shen Wanqing here? Besides, the ones causing trouble behind the scenes are foreign interests. If it weren’t for them, Beicheng would be very safe."

Jiang Chaoge retorted coldly, "Gu Anxi, you have no proof. What grounds do you have for saying such things?"

"This is Beicheng, my home ground. Do I need to consider your feelings when I speak here?" Gu Anxi retorted, then walked into Shen Wanqing’s room. It was quite luxurious. Clearly, she hasn’t been skimping on herself after gaining some fame. But this kind of spending must still be a strain for Shen Wanqing. It seems Papa Bo was right; she really is ambitious.

"See anything?" Chen Ming asked her.

Gu Anxi looked around but didn’t spot anything out of the ordinary. Finally, her gaze landed on a laptop. It was obviously left behind by Shen Wanqing...
