Chapter 205 -205: Need Your Assistance in the Investigation

Gu Qiangwei was startled.

The police?

What did the police want with her?

“I… may I ask, what do you need me for?”

“It’s about Mu Jiaqi’s drowning incident tonight. We need your help with the investigation.”

Upon hearing this, Gu Qiangwei couldn’t help but be taken aback again.

...

Why did they need her help to investigate Mu Jiaqi’s drowning? What did it have to do with her?

“If you have time now, could you please come to the central hospital?

Having said this, Gu Qiangwei seemed to find no reason to refuse; indeed, refusing might even be seen as obstructing official duty.

“Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, Gu Qiangwei got out of bed, changed from her pajamas into a chiffon shirt, and left the bedroom.

Upon exiting the house, she noticed that there was still a light on in the study and walked towards it.

She planned to notify Qin Sijue before leaving, to avoid him complaining about her leaving without a word again.

She gently pushed the door of the study open, only to find no sign of Qin Sijue inside.

Not there?

After looking around and seeing no sign of Qin Sijue, a puzzled Gu Qiangwei stepped back and went downstairs, still not finding him.

She did see Uncle Qin, who had finished his tasks and was about to go back to his room to sleep.

Seeming to hear footsteps, Uncle Qin, who had already reached the door of his room, turned back and was slightly surprised to see Gu Qiangwei dressed neatly.

After all, it was already past nine in the evening; she should have already been in bed. Why had she changed into outdoor clothes instead?

“Young Madam, you haven’t slept yet.”

“Yes, have you seen Qin Sijue?”

Uncle Qin was stunned for a moment, then glanced up at the second floor, “Isn’t Young Master in the study?”

“No,” Gu Qiangwei shook her head and then said, “I need to step out for a bit. If you see him, please let him know, so he won’t get upset again.”

Uncle Qin was surprised and looked at the clock on the wall—twenty past nine.

“You need to go out this late?”

“Yes. I’ve got something to handle. I’ll head out now!”

Having said this, she headed toward the entrance.

Meanwhile, Qin Sijue was on the second-floor open balcony, taking a call. Since the balcony faced the back garden, he hadn’t seen Gu Qiangwei drive away.

After ending the call and noticing how late it was, he didn’t return to the study but went straight to the master bedroom.

Upon entering, he didn’t see the person who should have been in bed, his heart suddenly sinking.

Normally at this time, she would definitely already be in bed.

He glanced up slightly, thinking she might still be taking a bath in the bathroom.

However, it was empty as he approached.

Ever since she had last returned unharmed, he had felt uneasy, always feeling as if something was about to happen.

And what made him most anxious was suddenly not seeing her.

“Gu Qiangwei!?”

Hearing his voice coming from the staircase, Uncle Qin, who was wearing a light coat, immediately went to the kitchen and looked toward him hurrying down from the second floor.

“Young Master.”

“Where is Gu Qiangwei!?”

“Young Madam has gone out.” Seeing the direction he had come from, Uncle Qin was still a bit surprised.

Hadn’t they said the Young Master wasn’t on the second floor? Yet here he was, suddenly appearing.

Hearing this, Qin Sijue’s brow furrowed, “She went out?”

“Yes, Young Madam said you weren’t on the second floor, so she asked me to tell you…”

As he listened to Uncle Qin relay the message, Qin Sijue felt even more irritated.

He had clearly been on the second floor!

And it was so late, where could she be going without a word!?

He turned around, rushed upstairs, and pulled out his phone to dial Gu Qiangwei’s number.
