Chapter 461 - 460: Doubt
Gu Tingyu looked at Yiyi with a face full of surprise, "Yiyi, why are you here?" Then he looked at Yun Chu and the others behind Yiyi, unable to help but furrow his brow and ask, "What happened?"
Yiyi was about to speak, but upon seeing Wei Zixiao behind Gu Tingyu, she showed some hesitation.
Gu Tingyu and the others were on a mission. If Wei Zixiao found out his sister was missing now, he would definitely be affected, and if something went wrong during the mission, it would be bad.
"Sister-in-law, if there’s anything, just say it. We’ll all help."
Hearing this, Yiyi smiled at Wei Zixiao, then pulled Gu Tingyu over and whispered the situation into his ear, finally saying, "We’re looking for someone, and didn’t expect to run into you here."
Gu Tingyu was surprised when he heard this and also a bit worried about Wei Zhirong, but he quickly remembered their mission’s purpose, a look of contemplation in his eyes.
"Tingyu, since you’re on a mission, I won’t disturb you any further."
Gu Tingyu, however, grabbed Yiyi’s hand and said, "I suspect our objectives are the same."
"What?"
Yiyi asked, somewhat puzzled.
Before Gu Tingyu could speak, Wei Zixiao on the other side was already laughing and saying, "Tingyu, what are you whispering about with Sister-in-law, let’s discuss it together if there’s anything."
Gu Tingyu turned to look at Wei Zixiao.
And that glance made Wei Zixiao involuntarily shiver, "Tingyu, why are you looking at me like that, it feels weird."
"Your sister is missing."
"What..."
Wei Zixiao didn’t react at first, but when he did, he hurriedly looked at Gu Tingyu and asked, "What do you mean by that, what do you mean my sister is missing."
Yiyi on the side also looked at Gu Tingyu in surprise. She never expected him to say it directly, which stunned her.
Gu Tingyu looked at Wei Zixiao and explained the situation.
"This... how could this happen."
Seeing his friend’s dazed look, Gu Tingyu patted his shoulder and said, "Don’t worry, we..."
However, before Gu Tingyu could finish, Wei Zixiao interrupted him, "How can I not worry, that’s Zhirong, no, I have to find her right now."
Gu Tingyu pulled Wei Zixiao back and frowned, saying, "Did you forget what our mission is this time?"
"Tingyu, of course I know the mission is important, but that’s Zhirong, my sister, how could I..." Wei Zixiao stopped mid-sentence, his eyes suddenly realizing, "Our... our mission is to capture a group of criminals involved in illegal trading. Do you mean... Zhirong and Little Tao were taken by these people?"
Hearing this, Yiyi finally understood why Gu Tingyu would tell Wei Zixiao the situation. So their goal was those people, but... she was still a little doubtful, "Tingyu, how are you sure that your targets are the ones who abducted Zhirong and Little Tao?"
"Since you found this place based on clues, and we also found this place based on clues, our targets should be the same."
Hearing this, Yiyi nodded, it seemed to make sense.
"Tingyu, we should hurry and find them."
Gu Tingyu nodded and joined Yiyi and the others.
Wei Zixiao was already extremely anxious at this point, seeing Gu Tingyu and Yiyi walking ahead, he hurriedly followed.
However, this time they brought quite a few people, most of whom were quick to keep up, but there were a few who lagged slightly behind, frowning as they felt Gu Tingyu’s decision was somewhat hasty. Finally, one person couldn’t help but say, "Instructor, our goal is to complete the mission, but now changing the route based on speculation, isn’t it not quite right."
Hearing this, Gu Tingyu turned his head to look and found it was You Zhen, who was quite skilled among them.
"We’re doing it for the mission."
You Zhen did not believe it upon hearing this.
"Instructor, I know you want to help Sister-in-law and worry about Vice Wei’s sister, but we must not forget our identity, and we can’t let personal matters override the mission."
Gu Tingyu squinted his eyes slightly upon hearing this.
He realized for the first time that there was someone so articulate in their team. You Zhen usually performed excellently, showing respect to him and Zixiao. Now it seemed, this person didn’t hold him in high regard at all, otherwise, he wouldn’t say such a thing, "Are you doubting my decision?"
"No, I just voiced my objection."
You Zhen said calmly, looking directly at Gu Tingyu, then glanced at Yiyi, continuing, "Besides, Sister-in-law and the others have so many people, they can definitely find them. We should continue with our mission."
"Can’t you understand human language."
Wei Zixiao was already extremely anxious, and seeing You Zhen talking nonsense made him even more irritable. Without thinking, he walked directly up to him, intending to teach him a lesson about obeying orders.
Gu Tingyu held Wei Zixiao back, shook his head at him, and then stepped forward, speaking to his team members, "You can raise questions if you have any, and if you think I’ve made the wrong decision, you can say so. But I want to make one thing clear, I did not make a hasty decision, and I will not joke about our mission. If you still see a problem, then you can leave this mission."
After saying this, Gu Tingyu paused, then his expression became extremely solemn, "But you must consider, if you withdraw from this mission, you will have to bear the corresponding consequences."
After hearing Gu Tingyu’s words, everyone else fell silent, including You Zhen, who ultimately followed along with Gu Tingyu and the others.
Although Gu Tingyu didn’t say anything more, he had already noted down a few of You Zhen’s words. He considered himself diligent and responsible, working hard even when training them, and didn’t expect such a response when faced with an incident.
"Tingyu, I’m not interrupting your work, am I?"
Gu Tingyu shook his head, "No, this time we just happened to meet."
Although You Zhen and his group were still obediently following the main group, who knew what they were thinking in their hearts.
Yiyi had no interest in the thoughts of others at this moment, she only wanted to find Wei Zhirong and Wen Tao as soon as possible. However, even with the addition of Gu Tingyu and his team, they still hadn’t found any clues. "Tingyu, could I have been wrong?" she said somewhat uncertainly in the end.
"No, besides, it wasn’t your decision, it was mine."
