Qiao Zhen was so angry that he gritted his teeth and looked in the direction of Gu Ye. Gu Ye looked at him from a distance and gave him a very polite and graceful smile.
Old fox!
Qiao Zhen cursed secretly.
He now has to rush to the airport with Liang Yuqian. The second child and his father had just left the resort and returned home. There is really no one who can control Gu Ye now.
He had no choice but to tell Xie Liang: "You should keep an eye on Gu Ye when he is here, and don't let him pester the third child all the time."
"Think of ways to find things for the third child to do. It's best to give them a chance to be alone again, especially at night."
"If you see anything wrong with them, report it to me immediately."
Xie Liang didn't know why.
But Gu Ye is the president of the Gu family, and Qiao Yang is the young master of the Qiao family. The two group companies are still competitors in some projects.
He guessed that Qiao Zhen might be afraid that Mr. Gu would deceive some information from the young master.
Xie Liang promised seriously: "Yes, don't worry, I will definitely take a good look at the third young master."
Qiao Zhen greeted Gu Ye again and sneered: "It seems that the top management mechanism of the Gu Group is very complete. The CEO can go without going back for several days, which is really enviable."
Gu Ye answered very politely: "It's just that I have time tomorrow. The most important thing is that the environment here is good, the hotel is comfortable and the entertainment facilities are complete. I really want people to stay a few more days."
Qiao Zhenqie said, "It's such an honor to be in Mr. Gu's eyes."
Qiao Yang was also here, and Qiao Zhen couldn't make it too clear. He secretly warned: "Mr. Gu, you can take a vacation, but don't forget our agreement."
Gu Ye took his attitude seriously this time: "Brother, don't worry. Some things are more precious than you."
"Also, I wish my eldest brother a happy wedding trip."
Qiao Zhen rolled his eyes at him.
When he spoke to Qiao Yang again, his tone was much softer: "Third brother, don't just play around all the time. Follow Manager Xie and learn more about hotel management procedures."
Qiao Yang, who only wanted to have fun: "...Okay."
Before Qiao Zhen left, he took another deep look at Gu Ye. The meaning in his eyes was unclear, which made Qiao Yang confused.
He asked Gu Ye: "You have a good relationship with my eldest brother. What did you agree on?"
Gu Ye smiled bitterly: How did you know that we have a good relationship?
He explained casually: "It's just some cooperation matters. Are you tired after a long day of work? Would you like to go back to your room and rest for a while before dinner?"
Gu Ye immediately changed his demeanor when talking to Qiao Yang. The politeness and courtesy in front of Qiao Zhen were gone. There is no more indifference and alienation in front of other guests.
His eyes were soft and his voice was low.
Concern is beyond words
Qiao Yang smiled and looked up at him: "I'm not tired. I just want to walk around outside the hotel to see what's fun. Do you want to come with me?"
Gu Ye: "Let's go."
The two handsome men walked out of the hotel side by side. The elegant and refined groomsmen's suits even modified their slender figures to the extreme.
As they walked along, the resort employees greeted them with their eyes always resting on them for a moment, filled with envy and wonder.
Xie Liang was not in the mood to appreciate it.
Qiao Zhen just told him to follow Qiao Yang closely and not let him be alone with Gu Ye. But the vice president just left and the two of them were going for a walk? !
And it was the young master who took the initiative to invite!
He hurriedly followed the two people out, pretending to introduce them to the surrounding environment.
But Qiao Yang drove him away: "Manager Xie, there's no need to follow. Go back and do your work."
Xie Liang:......
You have to listen to what your new boss says, but it's even more troublesome if you don't listen to what the vice president says.
He said bravely: "It's dark. Mr. Gu, you are not familiar with the surrounding environment. It will be troublesome if you get lost in this mountain. You'd better let me show you the way."
"I'm just going to introduce the surrounding facilities to you, Mr. Qiao. If you want to come and play tomorrow, it won't be more convenient."
Gu Ye knew the reason, he smiled and said: "Then I'll bother Manager Xie."
Xie Liang breathed a sigh of relief and successfully followed the two of them.
The mountain wind at night rustled the surrounding shrubs and flowers. The air is slightly cool, but fresh and pleasant.
There are lights everywhere in the resort area, reflecting on the green trees nearby, making them lush and shiny. But in the distance is the vast, dark world of deep mountains.
The two of them chatted while walking, and the quiet environment made the two men's voices clearer and more pure, echoing in the fresh air.
Everything was quiet and comfortable, except for Xie Liang following behind, disturbing the harmony between the two of them - or so Qiao Yang thought.
Encountering a relatively steep stone step, Gu Ye stretched out his hand to block Qiao Yang and said, "Be careful."
Qiao Yang naturally grabbed his arm and jumped down the steps.
Then, under Gu Ye's slightly shocked eyes, Qiao Yang smiled mischievously.
The bent red phoenix eyes shone with tiny rays of light under the reflection of the street lamp.
Xie Liang finally understood.
Qiao Zhen asked him to beware of Gu Ye, not because of his rival at all, but because these two were in love!
Gu Ye was too gentle to the young master. He said yes to whatever the young master asked him.
With his tolerant and conniving look, he is not the same person as President Gu at all.
He could understand Qiao Zhen's mood.
It's like when his daughter said to him one day when he was in elementary school: Dad, there is a boy in our class who is very handsome. I like to play with him and I feel the same way.
I was anxious to separate the two, and wished my daughter would never chat with that boy again.
But I can't understand it. The young master is 23 years old. What's wrong with an adult falling in love? Moreover, the target is still President Gu.
Qiao Yang put his hands in his pockets, twisted his body easily and walked backwards in front of Gu Ye, and asked:
"By the way, I will stay in the room that my dad often uses on the top floor of the hotel. It has a large outdoor hot spring pool. Do you want to take a hot spring bath with me tonight? There are many rooms. You can sleep in my room. Okay."
Xie Liang:? ? ? ! ! !
He hurriedly shouted: "Qiao, Mr. Qiao."
Qiao Yang asked him confused: "What's wrong?"
Xie Liang was extremely embarrassed. If this young master really slept with Gu Ye in the hot spring, Vice President Qiao would not kill him if he found out.
He hurriedly found an excuse: "That's right, the room on the top floor is reserved exclusively for Mr. Qiao, and he often works there. Mr. Gu is a guest, so that's not good."
Gu Ye smiled understandingly at Xie Liang. He refused Qiao Yang: "No, there is a hot spring in my room."
Qiao Yang felt a little regretful after being rejected.
It was obvious that Gu Ye had agreed to whatever he asked him just now.
The rain in the mountains came as soon as it came, and started to pour without warning.
The three people hurriedly ran towards the hotel.
Gu Ye took off his suit jacket and put it on Qiao Yang's head without allowing Qiao Yang to refuse.
Qiao Yang was stunned for a moment and asked, "What about you?"
Gu Ye: "I'm in better health than you. I won't have a fever even if I get caught in the rain. Let's go quickly."
Qiao Yang: "...Yeah."
The clothes on the head carried Gu Ye's body temperature and the familiar warm smell.
It held up a barrier for him, blocking the cold rain that fell on his head and face.
This warmth made Qiao Yang reluctant to refuse.
He held the clothes on his head, but he ran faster.
It seems that he wants to enter the hotel quickly, and he also seems to want to spread his rapidly beating heart and cheerful mood.
The sounds of chaotic running footsteps in the rain seemed to be happy notes jumping in his ears, making him laugh involuntarily.
~
The three people ran into the hotel lobby and took a long breath. Several waiters at the front desk came over and reported the situation, "Master Qiao, Manager Xie, just now the Liang family called and said that Master Liang Wei has not come home." .”
"And his cell phone was turned off and the signal could not be tracked. They asked Master Liang if he was still in the hotel."
There were many guests today, and Xie Liang could not grasp the situation of every guest.
He quickly asked: "Did you go to Master Liang's room to check? Did you play in any entertainment hall?"
Waiter: "No. We just checked. Mr. Liang rented a car at the hotel's car rental service area in the afternoon and left the hotel by himself."
Qiao Yang thought of something and asked him: "What time did Liang Wei leave?"
Waiter: "The car rental record shows 1:30 pm. The surveillance outside the hotel captured Master Liang driving away at 1:45."
Qiao Yang frowned slightly.
This time happened to be the time when Liang Wei argued with him and he warned Liang Wei to let him leave. Unexpectedly, he actually left.
It's now past seven o'clock in the evening. After more than six hours and rest on the road, it's almost time to arrive at Liang's house in City S.
Qiao Yang suddenly felt a faint worry in his heart, and he had an intuitive feeling that something bad would happen.
He asked, "Is there tracking and positioning installed on the car?"
Xie Liang nodded: "Yes."
Qiao Yang: "Go and check and see where the car is. Once you find it, tell me the location and then notify the Liang family."
"Yes." Xie Liang immediately took people to check.
Gu Ye saw something wrong with his expression and asked, "What's wrong? Are you worried about him?"
Qiao Yang shook his head: "No, just in the afternoon..."
He briefly told Gu Ye about the dispute between Liang Wei and Liang Wei.
Gu Ye persuaded him with a smile: "Liang Wei, a man older than you, how can he act like a child over such a trivial matter. Don't worry, he is probably driving somewhere to play again."
"Go to your room and change your clothes. Don't get cold. We'll go to the restaurant for dinner later."
Qiao Yang was slightly reassured: "Okay."
As a result, as soon as he changed his clothes, Xie Liang hurried over and said, "Master Qiao, something happened!"
"The location of the car driven by Master Liang shows that it is in an undeveloped wild mountain twenty kilometers away from our resort."
"And the place where we are staying is not on the road. I'm just afraid..."
Xie Liang didn't dare to say anything.
There is only one road from the resort to the national highway, but there is a different road leading to the mountains. And the road is very narrow and unprotected. If, if, the car falls down the hillside, the consequences will be disastrous.
Qiao Yang's heart sank suddenly, and he immediately walked out: "Let's go, take someone with you and find him quickly!"
The resort has a helicopter. Two resident doctors, as well as dozens of security guards and waiters who are now staying at the hotel.
Qiao Yang was panicked, but unusually calm.
He used almost all the people and supplies in the hotel who could provide first aid, formed a temporary search team, and even contacted the nearest hospital in advance.
Gu Ye heard the movement and followed him out: "I'll go with you."
The rain gradually became heavier, the night in the mountains was dark and gloomy, and the lights on the roadside could only illuminate a weak area.
Qili's target was getting closer and closer, and there weren't even street lights. He could only illuminate the bumpy and narrow mountain road ahead with his car lights and the searchlight in his hand.
They were driving a sightseeing car in the resort area and walked very slowly. And there are no door frames blocking the car body, so you can see what's going on outside.
If there is even a slightly unusual sight, go down and investigate to see if there are any signs of vehicle distress.
The scene where Liang Wei argued with him at the wedding came to mind over and over again.
And after he said: If you don’t want to stay here, leave, Liang Wei’s expression left angrily.
He didn't expect that Liang Wei would really leave because of his words, let alone...
If something really happened to Liang Wei...
Qiao Yang didn't dare to think any further and stared closely at the dots on the tracker.
The cold wind and cool rain from the deep mountains blow into the car without any hindrance and hit people.
Qiao Yang didn't know whether it was because he was cold or nervous. His hands on his lap were clenched into fists and he was shaking uncontrollably.
Gu Ye stretched out his hand, covering his clenched fists, and said softly: "Liang Wei is a 24-year-old man. He is an adult who can take responsibility for what he does."
"Where he drove and what happened is all his own judgment and responsibility. It has nothing to do with you."
"And now you are trying your best to search for him and save him with all your kindness and justice. You are doing a good job."
The generous and warm palm warmed the cold back of the hand. It also soothed the panicked heart.
Qiao Yang looked at him and said nothing, but gradually his breathing calmed down and his hands stopped shaking.
The person walking in front of the vehicle noticed something. They stopped and shouted: "Master Qiao, Manager Xie, there are several trees here that seem to have been knocked down."
The positioning origin displayed on the tracker was also nearby. Qiao Yang immediately jumped out of the car and took people over to investigate.
Dozens of searchlights illuminated the surrounding area. You can clearly see rows of knocked down trees on the slopes of the mountain road. The trees fell down the slope.
There are obvious traces of the car falling down the hillside.
Qiao Yang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart and said, "Go down the slope and find someone!"
Helicopters were hovering in the sky, and more than 20 people from the search team were wearing raincoats and carrying searchlights, searching carefully in the mountain rain.
In addition to trees, the hillside is covered with bushes and thick leaves. Coupled with the soaking of rainwater, the originally sloping hillside became more slippery and difficult to walk on.
Qiao Yang walked at the front. Regardless of the steep slope and slippery road, he looked around nervously and attentively, fearing that he might miss any clues.
Gu Ye followed closely behind him. While searching, he focused more on Qiao Yang and pulled him up when his feet slipped and he lost his balance.
Soon, the searchlight in Qiao Yang's hand shone on the body of an overturned car down the slope.
"The car has been found! It's in front!"
He exclaimed and immediately ran towards the target direction.
"Be careful, don't run!" Gu Ye went to pull him.
Qiao Yang still tripped over a bush. He lost his balance and fell hard on the slope. The inertia of his body made him roll down several times before he stopped.
Covered in mud and embarrassment.
Ignoring this, he got up and shouted for the search team to come over here, and signaled the people on the helicopter to land down.
Gu Ye anxiously went over to help him and scolded slightly: "Just find it, don't worry. Did you fall somewhere?"
Qiao Yang still walked forward and said, "I'm fine, go take a look."
The huge sound and air vibration caused by the landing of the helicopter made the surroundings noisy and the wind howled.
Qiao Yang only saw the car body tilted upside down, and the front window glass was all shattered.
The airbags exploded around the driver's seat. Inside, Liang Wei's eyes were closed tightly and his head was hanging down weakly. Under the searchlight, his pale face was stained with a mixture of coagulated and wet blood.
At that moment, Qiao Yang's calmness and strength suddenly collapsed. My whole mind went blank, and there was only the sound of the buzzing helicopter in my mind.
He was paralyzed, and when he couldn't stand still, his body bumped into someone's arms. Gu Ye whispered in his ear: "It's okay, a doctor is here and will give him first aid."
Two doctors directed several people to remove the unconscious Liang Wei from the car and put him on a stretcher. They skillfully checked Liang Wei's physical condition.
Under the noisy helicopter, the doctor's diagnosis results came intermittently: "The head is seriously injured, the blood loss is not serious, and there are signs of fractures in several parts of the body. The heartbeat is normal..."
Gu Ye hugged Qiao Yang tightly and said in a low and soft voice in his ear: "Listen, he is fine. He is just unconscious."
Qiao Yang looked closely at Liang Wei on the stretcher and nodded gently: Yes.
The doctor methodically fixed Liang Wei on the stretcher and directed several people to move Liang Wei to the helicopter.
Liang Wei woke up once in the middle. He opened his eyes and immediately met the eyes of Qiao Yang, who had been looking at him.
He looked at Qiao Yang for a few seconds and then closed his eyes.
The helicopter flew away. Xie Liang counted the number of rescuers and breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that everyone was there.
He asked Qiao Yang for instructions: "Master Qiao, let's go back."
Only then did Qiao Yang realize that he had been leaning in Gu Ye's arms. Gu Ye's strong arms hugged him tightly, giving him infinite support and comfort.
He asked: "Is everyone here?"
Xie Liang: "Everyone is here."
Qiao Yang: "Thank you for your hard work tonight, everyone should be more careful when we go back."
Xie Liang: "It's not hard work. We can save people, and we feel at ease."
How you came down when you came here, you have to climb up when you go back.
Qiao Yang left Gu Ye's arms and almost fell down as soon as he took a step, but was held tightly by Gu Ye.
Gu Ye asked him: "Did you hurt your foot?"
Qiao Yang frowned and said, "It seems so."
He fell when he came down. But at that time, I was just looking for someone and didn't care at all. Now I realized that my left foot was so painful that I couldn't use any strength.
Xie Liang was anxious: "Oh, what should I do?"
The mountain is steep and there are landslides covered with bushes. Even normal people are in danger of slipping when climbing. Not to mention someone with a sprained foot.
And in this situation, it is difficult to climb up even if someone is supporting you.
Xie Liang: "How about we wait for the helicopter to take Master Liang to the hospital and then come to pick you up."
How long will it take?
"Need not."
Gu Ye said: "Come, I will carry you up."
After saying that, he could not refuse and stood in front of Qiao Yang.
With his broad back in front of him, Qiao Yang hesitated and asked, "You, are you okay?"
Gu Ye turned his head and chuckled at him: "You will know if I can do it or not if you try it."
Qiao Yang heard the teasing meaning in his words.
Maybe it was a deliberate joke to make him relax. Or maybe it was a deliberate provocation to get him to carry him.
He responded to these words, took a step forward and got close to Gu Ye's back, stretched out his arms and wrapped them around his neck.
Gu Ye responded to his action, bending down slightly and wrapping his arms around his thighs. With a little force, Qiao Yang's body rose into the air and lay firmly on Gu Ye's back.
Xie Liang was very grateful to Gu Ye. After all, he looked at the people he brought and found that no one was physically strong enough to carry Qiao Yang up the mountain.
He was also afraid that the two of them would fall, so he led several people to walk in front of and around them.
The road up the mountain was very slippery, and Gu Ye walked slowly but steadily while carrying people on his back.
Qiao Yang couldn't feel any bumps, but felt very comfortable and warm.
Her chest was pressed tightly against the man's broad back, and when she lowered her head, she could smell the warm breath emanating from his neck.
The arms around his thighs were strong and strong, and the palms holding the base of his legs were broad and hot.
This heat spread to the whole body bit by bit. It was a cold night in the mountains, but Qiao Yang felt warm all over.
Gradually, he buried his face into Gu Ye's shoulder, his whole body became more dependent, coveting the warmth.
~
It was already 2 a.m. when we got back to the hotel.
The employees who stayed in the hotel prepared warm food for the rescue team early.
Qiao Yang was carried directly into the room by Gu Ye because of his injured foot.
He put Qiao Yang's back on the sofa and squatted on the ground to help him take off his shoes to check the extent of his injury.
Qiao Yang said in a low voice: "It's very dirty."
But it didn't stop.
My shoes and socks had long been soaked, stained with dead leaves, mud and rain.
Gu Ye brought a basin of cold water and helped him scrub it: "It's a sprain. I can only apply cold compress for the time being. You can bear with it and don't feel cold."
Qiao Yang: "Okay."
He looked quietly at the man squatting at his feet.
He was called Mr. Gu, and many guests at the wedding complimented him and tried their best to establish a relationship with him. She is also pursued by outstanding young men and women.
And this man was holding his feet carefully, wiping them and giving him a cold compress.
Qiao Yang looked at him, a little distracted.
The doorbell rang, breaking the moment of tranquility.
Xie Liang changed into clean clothes and walked in, reporting the situation: "Master Qiao, the hospital has sent word that Master Liang is out of danger."
"It's mainly caused by two broken ribs and concussion, as well as physical collapse caused by being comatose for too long. Overall, it's not serious."
"It is said that the person is awake and has taken the nutritious meals provided by the hospital."
The huge stone that was weighing on his heart finally fell. Qiao Yang leaned on the sofa and whispered: "...Great."
Xie Liang also brought wet cloths for bruises and sprains and hot dinners, which were placed on the small table next to Qiao Yang.
Then he looked at Gu Ye, who was soaked all over. He was very grateful but regretful, and said, "Thank you so much, Mr. Gu, for tonight. Your dinner was just delivered to your room, and..."
He asked worriedly: "Would you like to change clothes first? If you catch a cold, we really can't afford it."
Gu Ye smiled lightly: "It's okay, it should be."
He told Qiao Yang, "I'll go back to the room and change clothes. You can have a good rest."
After saying that, he was about to go out. Qiao Yang, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately grabbed his sleeve.
With a trace of anxiety and expectation in his eyes, he asked in a low voice: "Then, will you come back soon?"
