Chapter 125 Relationship with Gu Jinxing Improves
Gu Jinxing raised his eyes and stared at Shen Wancheng.
"More than hearing you say thank you, I hope that one day you can accept my help with a clear conscience."
“I’m not being distant with you, I just feel that I should respond to your help.”
Shen Wancheng paused for a moment, then explained.
"I think that responding to an event or a person is a way of showing that you care, and it's not just being polite."
Shen Wancheng's words were tactful, but Gu Jinxing understood them.
Because of what he did today, Shen Wancheng felt touched and moved, so she felt she should respond and let her know that she understood his efforts.
Because he understood, Gu Jinxing felt instantly happy.
However, he did not continue the topic.
When it comes to matters of the heart, one should not rush things. Give them enough time to ferment on their own so that pure feelings can emerge.
Gu Jinxing chuckled softly.
Let's change the subject.
Congratulations, you're one step closer to your goal.
Shen Wancheng raised an eyebrow, a smile appearing in her eyes.
"Thank you. I will never forget your contribution to achieving our goal."
Shen Wancheng couldn't help but yawn after she finished speaking.
She sighed helplessly.
"It's so easy to get sleepy at this stage."
Gu Jinxing glanced at Shen Wancheng's still completely flat stomach.
"Thanks for your hard work."
Shen Wancheng unconsciously touched her lower abdomen.
"Well, it's actually not bad, I just get sleepy easily."
"I can...touch..."
Gu Jinxing uttered three words before falling silent, unable to finish his sentence.
"Ok?"
Shen Wancheng took a moment to process what Gu Jinxing meant.
She chuckled.
"They're still embryos, there's nothing to touch."
"Oh."
Shen Wancheng inexplicably found Gu Jinxing's "oh" to be a bit silly and cute.
She suddenly leaned close to Gu Jinxing and whispered in his ear.
"You can touch them after they start moving."
Gu Jinxing suddenly tightened his grip on Shen Wancheng's hand and softly hummed in agreement.
Shen Wancheng sat up straight again, and when she looked out of the car, the corners of her mouth involuntarily turned up.

Shen Wancheng returned to her residence, but instead of immediately washing up and going to bed, she called Li Su.
The call connected, and Shen Wancheng asked directly.
"Li Su, where did Li Gang go after the competition?"
"I'm sorry, Miss Shen, the bodyguards I sent lost track of Li Gang."
"what happened?"
“I just received a call from the bodyguard saying that they have completely lost track of Li Gang at the dock.”
It's been four or five hours since the game ended, and the bodyguard has lost track of Li Gang. He should still know what Li Gang did before that.
Shen Wancheng asked, "What did Li Gang do after the competition?"
Li Su replied, "I asked the bodyguards about this in detail, but since they are not professional investigators, they don't know much. Before Li Gang finished the competition, he went to a club to meet some Japanese people and stayed there for about half an hour before coming out."
"What he talked about with these Japanese people, our people don't know."
"After he came out, the three bodyguards who had been following Li Gang stopped following him and he left the club alone."
Li Gang has caused Japan to lose face so much, it's no wonder he's being abandoned by the Japanese.
Shen Wancheng had anticipated this.
Shen Wancheng pressed for an answer.
"And then? What did he do after he left alone? Did he go straight to the docks?"
"After I came out, I went to eat first, and then I made a phone call for almost an hour at a public phone booth. After that, I went to the pier, and then I disappeared."
I went to the pier late at night, after making a long phone call...
They're most likely trying to smuggle themselves out of the port.
After all, Li Gang isn't stupid; he knows he's hated in Hong Kong.
Once this person leaves port, it becomes difficult to find them anywhere in the world.
"After our people lost track of Li Gang, did they inquire with the smugglers who make a living by illegally crossing borders?"
"This... I'm sorry, I didn't ask. I'll make arrangements now."
Li Su hadn't considered these things, and Shen Wancheng could understand.
After all, Li Su came from a well-off family and had a high level of education in those days. His first job was at a racecourse in Hong Kong, which was equivalent to a public institution. Therefore, Li Su basically had no opportunity to come into contact with the lowest levels of Hong Kong society, so it was normal that he didn't know about people like human traffickers and smugglers.
"Forget it, you can send all the people you arranged home. They didn't think of this before, and they probably don't know anything about this industry. Without connections, you won't get any useful information by asking around now."
"You've all worked hard. Let's call it a day. Tomorrow, we'll give a red envelope to everyone who was busy today."
"I thank you on their behalf, Miss Shen. Goodnight, Miss Shen."
"Good night."
Shen Wancheng hung up on Li Su and then called Gu Jinxing.
Shen Wancheng didn't want Li Gang to get away like that. She just thought that Gu Jinxing's main business was shipping, and he should know more about docks and smuggling. He should also have connections. Even if Li Gang escaped from the port, Gu Jinxing might still have a way to catch him.
Gu Jinxing answered Shen Wancheng's call and asked her first.
"I thought you'd go straight to bed when you got home. Is something urgent?"
"I want to sleep, but I have something on my mind that I can't sleep because I'm worried about it."
Shen Wancheng used a very obvious little trick here.
Gu Jinxing knew immediately that Shen Wancheng was saying this on purpose, but he still played along.
"What's disturbing your sleep? I'll take care of it for you right away."
Shen Wancheng chuckled softly.
“My men lost track of Li Gang at the dock. I want to know his whereabouts. Although he has been disgraced, he still has the money he earned before. If he escapes from the port now, he can still eat and drink to his heart's content and enjoy life. That would be too easy for him.”
"So it was your people following him. Don't worry, Li Gang didn't run away. When I had Li Gang taken away, I found someone following him. They thought it was someone from Japan, so they wiped the traces clean."
"You arrested Li Gang? Why did you arrest Li Gang? Is it really as the rumors say, that the rich and powerful in Hong Kong are particularly patriotic these days and can't stand traitors like Li Gang?"
Gu Jinxing's laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Where did you hear this legend? Inland?
Shen Wancheng was stunned.
Perhaps because she had become more and more familiar with Gu Jinxing recently, she spoke too casually and accidentally let something slip in front of him.
"What business is it of mine where I heard it? I'm asking you! Why did you arrest Li Gang?"
I don't like him.
"Huh? A tycoon like you would find fault with a nobody like him?"
“Like you said, we rich people and gangsters are very patriotic, so naturally we can’t stand traitors like him.”
Um... Gu Jinxing's words seem to make perfect sense.
Shen Wancheng was speechless and remained silent for a few seconds.
But Gu Jinxing's soft laughter came from the other end of the phone.
Shen Wancheng instantly realized that Gu Jinxing was teasing her.
"Gu Jinxing, how dare you tease me?"
