Tyrannical Tycoon Haunts Me Relentlessly-Chapter 460: Wen Rou at That Moment 5

Gu Beicheng had everyone temporarily stop the search in the fifth hour after Yu Wanqing’s disappearance.

At this time, it was already past midnight.

The storm had abated slightly, but seeing the lightning in the distant sky, the next bout of stormy weather could possibly arrive very soon.

"Take a seat here." Gu Lingqian urged Xia Yinian to sit in the chair as he strode towards Gu Beicheng amidst the crowd.

Silence enveloped the group, and being a distance away, Xia Yinian couldn’t make out what they were discussing.

Soon, Gu Lingqian returned, looking at her: "Let’s go back to rest for now, and we’ll continue searching when we’re certain the storms won’t return."

Xia Yinian knew this must’ve been Gu Beicheng’s idea. Though rational, she guessed that if Yu Wanqing knew the decision came from Gu Beicheng, she would be heartbroken to death.

It indeed wasn’t suitable to continue searching now, but anyone would be distressed if the man they liked decided not to search for the moment.

However, that was all they could do for now. Even though everyone had received professional training, they were still flesh and blood.

If anyone else got into trouble, the loss would outweigh the gains even more.

Xia Yinian stood up but clutched her stomach, finding it difficult to move.

"What’s wrong?" Seeing her face turn pale, Gu Lingqian’s expression filled with concern.

"It’s nothing, I just don’t know if... my menstruation is about to start; my stomach hurts a little." Thinking about it, her menstruation did seem to be missing for a month already.

She hadn’t paid attention before, but looking back now, it was about time.

Her menstruation was always very regular; she just hadn’t expected it to hurt this much this time.

Gu Lingqian didn’t quite understand these women’s issues, but seeing her tiny face scrunched in pain, he felt distressed.

"Should we get a doctor to look at you?"

Xia Yinian almost wanted to laugh, but her stomach really hurt and she couldn’t muster it: "No, wouldn’t that be embarrassing? It’ll be fine after I drink some hot water to warm my stomach."

"Alright, let’s quickly go back," Gu Lingqian said, and wanted to carry her.

He reached out his hand, only to remember that he was soaked in seawater, his clothes wet enough to wring out.

"Sorry," he murmured softly.

"It’s fine, I can still walk," Xia Yinian shook her head and managed to stand up straight as they headed to the elevator together.

Glancing back at the crowd, Gu Beicheng was still discussing the search operations with the rescue team with focused sincerity.

As for Xia Yinian, he hadn’t even glanced at her. Yes, not even a glance.

So, that dream last night, how could it be real?

Simply impossible.

...

That night, as expected, another storm arrived, and by the time the weather finally cleared, it was nearly dawn.

Gu Lingqian had stayed with Xia Yinian the entire night in the room and only left when dawn was about to break.

Xia Yinian woke up to a cacophony of noise, having slept all night, her stomach finally hurt less.

Seeing that she was the only one in the room, she knew that since the storm had stopped, Gu Lingqian must have joined the search party again.

She didn’t linger in the room, quickly washed up, changed into a new outfit, and then hastily left the room, taking the elevator down to the lobby.

Many girls were already in the lobby. When they saw Xia Yinian come out, they subconsciously stepped back two paces as if deliberately avoiding her.

Xia Yinian had no idea what was happening. She did not see Gu Lingqian or Gu Beicheng among the crowd, so she approached the girls.

"Is there any news about Lady Yu, has she been found?"

Unexpectedly, someone immediately responded sharply: "She’s been found, you must be scared, right? Murderer!"
