Chapter 694: Chapter 694: Hai Ge Inquires About Minmin’s Whereabouts

Her face was full of helplessness and hesitation.

Qiu Qianghai sensed she might be troubled by something and didn’t continue the topic.

He drank half of the water in his glass and looked at Gu Jin’s expression, which seemed as if she wanted to speak but hesitated.

How could Gu Jin not notice he had something to say? She propped her head with one hand and looked at him with a faint smile: "Brother Hai, did you come out to find me for something?"

"Yes." Qiu Qianghai admitted openly.

His hand touched the rim of the glass, staring into Gu Jin’s eyes, and asked directly: "Do you know where Minmin is? It’s been so long, why is there no news from her at all?"

"I don’t know."

Gu Jin really didn’t know.

Since Gu Minmin left last year, she hadn’t seen that girl again.

She asked her cousin, Gu Jiajie, and he also shook his head, saying he didn’t know.

Qiu Qianghai’s face became much more serious. He frowned and lowered his voice: "That girl didn’t come back for the New Year, nor did she show up for Young An’s birthday. After all this time, aren’t you worried at all?"

"I don’t know why she abandoned her studies and left Beijing, or if she’s avoiding someone. I don’t know where she is either, so how can I be worried?" Gu Jin scrutinized Qiu Qianghai with mocking eyes.

When Gu Minmin left, only she, her cousin, and little An knew.

After hiding it for a month, Qiu Qianghai finally couldn’t help but come to them.

After informing him that Gu Minmin had left, he secretly searched for Gu Minmin, but found nothing.

Since then, Gu Minmin has been missing for more than half a year.

Now, Qiu Qianghai finally couldn’t bear it, or maybe his patience had reached its limit.

"No matter the reason, Minmin is so young. How could you let her be alone out there!"

Qiu Qianghai heard the sarcasm in Gu Jin’s words and also realized that his attitude now undoubtedly admitted that he still harbored some thoughts about Minmin.

But right now, he couldn’t care about these things.

He just wanted to know if Gu Minmin was safe in places he didn’t know.

The smile in Gu Jin’s eyes faded away, and she sighed softly: "Brother Hai, do you know why Minmin had to leave?"

"How would I know?"

Just as Qiu Qianghai finished speaking, under Gu Jin’s gaze, he changed his tone: "Could it be related to me?"

Though it was a question, it carried some surprise and clearly a suspicious tone.

Thinking of the news her little one told her, Gu Jin’s lips slightly curved: "Last year, Gu Minmin met someone at school, and afterward, she left school, leaving Beijing that very day."

"Who?!" Qiu Qianghai had a bad premonition. 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"If Brother Hai wants to know, why not look into it?"

Gu Jin picked up the juice on the table, stood up, and walked back to her room.

Just one step out, she turned back: "Brother Hai, it’s not that I’m not telling you where Minmin is, but we don’t know either. My cousin might know what she’s up to, but not her exact location. Over the past half a year, he’s been as worried about Minmin as you are."

After Gu Jin left, Qiu Qianghai sat silently at the bar for a long time.

After an unknown amount of time, he took out his phone and asked someone to investigate whom Gu Minmin had met at school half a year ago.

He had a gut feeling that Minmin’s departure was most likely related to him.

It was late at night.

Everyone in the private room was exhausted.

Just when they were about to wrap up, Gu Jiajie’s phone rang.

At that moment, he was pressing An Mingji’s shoulder, telling him he had grown into a man and should be responsible in the future.

He had drunk a bit too much, rambling on without knowing what he was saying.

When the phone rang, he took it out and answered without looking at the screen.
