The Whole Internet is Shipping Me with My Ex-Boyfriend-Chapter 172: He Said He Was Seeking Treatment

Yi Shu’s feelings were extremely complicated at this moment.

And very unexpected.

He had tried every possible way to contact Chi Yu in the past two days, but couldn’t reach him at all. Yi Shu never thought of seeking help from President Gu because he knew President Gu wouldn’t care about Chi Yu.

Just when Yi Shu was overwhelmed and exhausted, President Gu unexpectedly called him to inquire about Chi Yu’s whereabouts...

Moreover, it was the first time in more than half a year that President Gu had called him to find Chi Yu!

His words were met with Gu Yuan’s approval: "Alright, come over to Yingcan now, my office."

"...Alright, President Gu, I’ll be there right away."

Yi Shu wouldn’t dare let Gu Yuan wait long and quickly drove to Yingcan Century.

A few minutes later.

Yi Shu drove to Yingcan Century, all the way unimpeded, directly reaching Gu Yuan’s office. 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝐰𝚎𝕓𝐧𝚘𝘃𝗲𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝕞

’Knock, knock.’

The sound of knocking on the door echoed.

Assistant Qiu pushed the door open and entered: "President Gu, Yi Shu is here."

"Let him in," Gu Yuan said, putting down the pen.

Qiu stepped aside for Yi Shu: "Come in."

The door closed, and Yi Shu walked towards Gu Yuan’s desk.

With Gu Yuan’s gesture, he dared to sit down. Restraint was inevitable, as Yi Shu hadn’t sat face to face with President Gu like this to discuss matters in a long time.

"Go ahead, regarding Chi Yu’s situation, I hope you don’t conceal anything or make idle remarks, because you are taking up my work time now," Gu Yuan reminded Yi Shu seriously.

"I understand that," Yi Shu nodded, "but I don’t even know where to start, so why don’t you ask, President Gu, I’ll answer."

"Alright." Gu Yuan nodded approvingly and directly asked, "Where is Chi Yu now?"

Yi Shu was tormented inside: "The truth is, Chi Yu went to Yanjing for a visit."

"What’s he doing in Yanjing?"

"He said he’s going for medical treatment."

"..."

The moment the words fell, Gu Yuan’s emotional response was obviously off, somewhat at a loss for words.

After a while, she asked again, somewhat incredulously: "What did you just say Chi Yu went to Yanjing to do?"

Yi Shu met Gu Yuan’s gaze and repeated those three words: "He went for medical treatment."

"Ha..., medical treatment." Gu Yuan’s lips moved slightly, "What illness could he possibly have?"

At this moment, Gu Yuan’s emotions were clearly different from earlier, the fluctuations were obvious, but she suppressed her own emotions, trying hard to hide that peculiarity.

Yi Shu shook his head: "I don’t know either."

Gu Yuan’s tone turned slightly cold: "Then you must be lying to me."

"No! I’m not!" Yi Shu looked tense, quickly explaining for himself: "President Gu, at this point, how would I dare lie to you, everything I said is true, absolutely truthful."

Whether Yi Shu’s words were true or false was easy to discern, but Gu Yuan would rather believe the former—that Yi Shu was lying to her.

But clearly, it was the latter.

Yi Shu continued: "I thought Chi Yu would just be gone for a few days and then return, but who knew it’s been nearly half a month and he hasn’t come back, and I can’t reach him by phone. I’m almost going crazy."

Yi Shu was the most anxious, because not only was he Chi Yu’s agent, he was also the only one who knew where Chi Yu had gone.

But he couldn’t contact Chi Yu, how could he not be anxious?!

"Since Chi Yu told you from the day he disappeared that he was going for medical treatment, why didn’t you tell the truth when I asked you that day?" Gu Yuan’s tone not only carried coldness, but also a hint of anger.

Yi Shu spoke truthfully: "I thought President Gu didn’t want to hear anything related to Chi Yu, I didn’t want to make myself unwelcome. Plus... at that time I thought Chi Yu would be back in a few days."
