The ex-wife is rebellious, which makes the CEO feel troubled

Chapter 396: Trapped in the Dark Alley

"Leave a mark? Where?" James looked confused.

Qin Yu rolled her eyes at James: "Where else can I stay? I must go to a secret manor or a private hospital!"

Gu Jinghuai did not deny it.

"Then don't we have to wait until three days later?" James said, staring at Gu Jinghuai.

Gu Jinghuai shook his head: "No, according to the current situation, the child should be admitted to the hospital, and Ning Xi also left a mark."

James' eyes suddenly lit up: "Then let's start looking for marks from this manor?"

"It's too dark now, let's start looking tomorrow." Gu Jinghuai raised his eyebrows slightly and walked straight out of the manor.

On the way back, the three were still analyzing.

"The distance between the secret manor and the private hospital should not be too far. Let's pay more attention to the manor near the hospital." Gu Jinghuai said.

James stroked his chin and thought deeply for a moment.

"That makes sense. This will greatly narrow the search area!"

Qin Yu and James both had hope in their hearts and looked full of energy.

"Jing Huai, should we act together or separately?" the two asked in unison.

"Separate and contact each other once you have a clue."

Gu Jinghuai clenched the steering wheel slightly. He couldn't believe that he was still unable to determine Ning Xi's location.

His cell phone rang.

"Boss, Lu Xiu went to Country M alone." The subordinate's tone was filled with unconcealable joy.

Gu Jinghuai was surprised. He guessed right, and his heart finally settled down a little.

On the other side, outside an ancient and quiet manor, a luxury car was parked. The driver got out first and opened the door like a gentleman.

Ning Xi walked out of the car, and Wang Ma took off her blindfold. Ning Xi, who was able to see the light of day again, quickly scanned the manor, but did not see the man, and immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

"Madam, follow me."

Aunt Wang was leading the way in front. Judging from the way the other party looked familiar with the place, it should not be their first time here.

The scenery in the manor was pleasant, but Ning Xi still had a bad feeling.

The moment she stepped into the bedroom, Ning Xi felt like this place was like a prison, because there was not even a window.

She looked down upon Lu Xiu even more. She frowned and said with disdain, "Is this the bedroom you arranged?"

Wang Ma stood there a little uneasy, and asked cautiously: "Madam, are you dissatisfied with this place?"

"Oh, you like it here, how about I let you live here?"

Ning Xi pointed around.

"It's airtight, which is not conducive to the patient's recuperation. Have you forgotten that Xingxing is still sick? Are you planning to kill Xingxing?"

When Wang Ma heard this, she was immediately frightened.

"Ma'am, that's not the case."

"I don't care. I want to change rooms." After saying that, Ning Xi didn't even look at Aunt Wang again and walked straight to the opposite door.

Seeing that there was a balcony and she could see the buildings outside, she nodded with satisfaction.

"I've chosen this one. I'll use it as my bedroom."

"no!"

The original servant in the villa came over, looked at Ning Xi strangely, and directly refused.

"Ma'am, the master said you can only live in that room." The servant's tone was so strong that it could not be refused.

"Even if it was Ash's order, I still have the right to choose. After all, I am also the master of this house."

Unexpectedly, the servant folded his arms and glanced at Ning Xi with disdain.

"Master? The young master doesn't even like you, and you really take yourself seriously."

Ning Xi glanced at her with her eyes as if they were icy. The servant shuddered at Ning Xi's look, but she remained unforgiving.

Suddenly, with a "slap" sound, a crisp and loud slap sounded on the servant's face.

The servant was stunned. She stared at Ning Xi with wide eyes and pointed at her with trembling fingers: "You dare to hit me?"

"What's wrong with hitting you? I'm Mrs. Lu, why can't I choose?" Ning Xi spoke sharply.

Seeing that the servant seemed to be frightened, Ning Xi said sternly: "What are you still standing here for? Go and clean up."

The servant came to his senses and tremblingly started to sweep with the broom.

Lu Ruoxing beside her opened her round almond eyes, tugged at the corner of Ning Xi's clothes with her little hands, and said in surprise: "Mom, you can hit people too."

Ning Xi's body stiffened when she heard Lu Ruoxing's voice.

Oh no, I hope this will lead Ruoxing astray...

The next second, Lu Ruoxing clapped her hands and praised, "Wow, mom is awesome! So cool!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Xi's ears turned slightly red and she smiled awkwardly.

"Mom has to be stronger so that she can protect the stars." Ning Xi made up a reason.

Lu Ruoxing blinked her eyes and said naively, "I like a strong mother!" After that, she kissed Ning Xi on the cheek.

Suddenly, Ning Xi realized something.

Lu Xiu always praised her for being gentle and well-behaved...but she vaguely felt that her personality was not like that before she lost her memory.

After thinking about it carefully, Ning Xi felt dizzy and her eyes blurred. She hurriedly held onto the wall.

A scene of her and Gu Jinghuai bickering flashed through her mind. Was it a memory or... Ning Xi took a breath in pain.

"Mom, what's wrong with you?" Lu Ruoxing's anxious voice came into his ears.

"Mom is fine." Ning Xi breathed a sigh of relief, her headache eased a little, and she quickly coaxed her softly.

Then Ning Xi sat back on the sofa, meditating, trying to recall what had just happened...but suddenly she couldn't remember it.

Whenever I force myself to think about it, it feels like countless needles are pricking my brain.

"Gu Jinghuai." Ning Xi murmured in her heart.

At this moment, Gu Jinghuai on the other side felt inexplicably panicked.

He paused for a second, then began to carefully watch the retrieved highway surveillance video.

A black car drove by and a head popped out from inside.

Gu Jinghuai immediately stopped the playback and enlarged the picture again and again.

When he saw Ning Xi's appearance, he secretly took note of the black car.

He sent the captured photo to his assistant's phone: "Check the mileage of this car."

After a while, the secretary had sent the car's mileage. Gu Jinghuai watched it slowly, fearing that he would miss the slightest clue.

Suddenly, his eyes lit up. After a while, Gu Jinghuai came to Delan Street alone.

He had just set foot when people around him began to look at him strangely, with a hint of malice in their eyes.

Gu Jinghuai was surprised.

As it happened, there was a coffee shop owner in front of him. Gu Jinghuai walked over and tried to sound gentle and not awkward: "Hello, boss..."

"What kind of coffee would you like?" the boss interrupted him and asked directly.

When he looked up, he saw Gu Jinghuai's appearance, paused, and asked: "You are not a local, right?"

"Well, no, boss, I want to ask you something." Gu Jinghuai said in a very humble tone.

Unexpectedly, the boss immediately became impatient and waved his hand, "Go away... If you don't want to buy coffee, don't stand here. You're affecting my business!"

In desperation, Gu Jinghuai had to turn his attention to other people.

Gu Jinghuai tried to ask a few more people, but he didn't expect that they had the same attitude as the owner of the coffee shop.

He didn't understand why the people here were so hostile to outsiders.

For a moment, Gu Jinghuai was a little confused. He walked aimlessly on the street and unknowingly walked into a dark alley.

Suddenly, he seemed to hear light footsteps.

Gu Jinghuai pretended not to hear and walked straight in.

"stop!"

A ferocious voice came from behind.
