"What should we do then? I think Father Gao's actions themselves are very problematic."
Ke Lin found it peculiar.
Shen Qingqing took a deep breath. She put her phones in her pockets and turned to leave. Her peripheral vision caught Lu Shu, and she couldn't help but glance at him.
"Do you have something to say?"
Lu Shu hesitated. "If Jian Gao needs anything, can you notify me?"
Shen Qingqing nodded. "Alright."
After she left, Ke Lin patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, President Shen will definitely find him."
Lu Shu glanced at him. "You trust her that much?"
"Mm."
Ke Lin didn't even have that much confidence in himself, but when it came to Shen Qingqing, he had an absolute kind of trust.
Over the years, he had discovered that anything President Shen set her mind to, she could accomplish.
Lu Shu let out a soft sigh. "I hope so."
Shen Qingqing arrived at the Gao residence.
A servant opened the door. Upon seeing her, the servant's expression changed, and she immediately closed the door.
Shen Qingqing frowned slightly.
A moment later, the door opened.
It turned out to be Mrs. Gao who came out. She stood at the doorway, looking down at Shen Qingqing. "What are you doing here again?"
"I'm looking for Jian Gao."
"Didn't Jian Gao leave with you?" Mrs. Gao crossed her arms and leaned against the doorframe, looking at Shen Qingqing. "You're quite something. The person is missing, and you come looking here? This isn't the Red Cross. We don't shelter lost individuals."
"He told me he was back," Shen Qingqing said expressionlessly.
"I told you, he's not home," Mrs. Gao said, looking at Shen Qingqing with immense dislike and hostility. "Don't come here again. You're not welcome in our home, and I won't let you in."
With that, she tried to close the door.
Shen Qingqing stopped her with a hand. She tried to close the door but found it useless.
How could this woman be so strong?!
Shen Qingqing effortlessly held the door with one hand. "You'd better let me in. I'm not just here to find Jian Gao. Be careful, you might get yourself into trouble later."
"What do you mean?"
Mrs. Gao didn't understand the words. She felt Shen Qingqing was deliberately trying to scare her and didn't believe it. However, seeing her blocking the door made her furious.
"Let go! If you don't let go, I'll call security!"
Shen Qingqing suddenly released her grip. Mrs. Gao, not expecting her to let go, lost her support and fell straight onto the ground.
Her skirt was completely lifted.
She suddenly let out a scream. "Ah!"
The servants inside heard the sound and rushed out to check. Upon seeing Mrs. Gao on the ground, they immediately rushed to help her up.
Mrs. Gao was in a sorry state and said angrily, "Throw her out! From now on, don't let her come here again. If you see her, just drive her away!"
"Yes, sir."
The servants immediately surrounded Shen Qingqing.
Shen Qingqing stared at Mrs. Gao. "I'm telling you one more time, I'm not here solely for Jian Gao today. If you drive me away, you'll regret it."
"Who are you trying to scare?" Mrs. Gao didn't believe her at all. She saw Mr. Gao returning and immediately went to him. "Lao Gao, look, she's here again! She's so annoying. I'm trying to get rid of her, but she refuses to leave, so shameless!"
Mr. Gao said coldly, "Shen Qingqing, what exactly do you want?"
"I told you, I'm looking for Jian Gao."
Mr. Gao said impatiently, "Are you ever going to stop? I told you, he's not home. If you want to find someone, go look elsewhere. Don't pester me here!"
Mrs. Gao covered her mouth and sobbed. "Lao Gao, you must stand up for me. She just hit me earlier. Look at my hand!"
Although she was older, she had maintained her appearance very well over the years. Her hands had brushed against the ground just now, and her palms were red.
The surrounding servants also started to complain.
"Sir, this woman is too much. We just came out and saw Madam pushed to the ground by her, her skirt torn."
Mrs. Gao's face instantly contorted, but then she became full of grievance. "Lao Gao, look, everyone saw it. She's too much..."
Everyone chimed in.
"Isn't this bullying too much? She actually came to our doorstep to bully us. Is it because she thinks Sir isn't home? If Sir were home, would she dare to act like this!"
"Exactly, it's too much!"
Mr. Gao became even more displeased with Shen Qingqing. "I want you to leave immediately!"
Shen Qingqing directly handed him a document.
Mr. Gao was stunned. "What is this?"
Mrs. Gao glanced at her, thinking this document was probably nothing good. She blocked Mr. Gao. "What are you doing with this? What trick are you trying to pull now? I'm telling you, no matter what you plan to do today, we won't give you a chance!"
Mr. Gao also said, "Leave. I won't listen to anything you say. Jian Gao's matter has nothing to do with you. You'd better not meddle!"
Shen Qingqing looked a little confused. "Didn't you say before that you would treat Jian Gao well? Why have you changed so much in just a few days?"
She glanced at Mrs. Gao.
She suspected this woman was behind it.
Mrs. Gao immediately seized the opportunity, hooked her arm around Mr. Gao's, and complained, "Lao Gao, look at her eyes. How does this have anything to do with me!"
"Ignore her. Let's go back."
Mr. Gao pulled Mrs. Gao and turned to leave. However, Shen Qingqing blocked them again.
"Call the police."
Mr. Gao was completely impatient.
Shen Qingqing directly shoved the document into his arms. "I advise you to look at it first."
Mr. Gao froze for a moment, then opened the document. He was determined to glance at it, throw it away immediately, and then completely drive Shen Qingqing away!
However, as he read the contents of the paper, his pupils contracted sharply.
This seemingly light document suddenly became immensely heavy in his hands.
"How could you..."
"I don't like to do things unprepared," Shen Qingqing said calmly, her hands behind her back. "Since I decided to come to you, I must have been fully prepared."
Mr. Gao stood frozen.
Mrs. Gao sensed something was wrong and tried to lean closer to look. However, Mr. Gao quickly put the document away. She stood on tiptoe but couldn't see anything, stamping her feet in anger.
"Lao Gao..."
"Be quiet!" Mr. Gao snapped, then turned to Shen Qingqing. "What do you want?"
"Aren't you going to invite me in?"
Shen Qingqing said with a half-smile.
Mr. Gao gritted his teeth and walked over to open the door. Mrs. Gao was dumbfounded and even more curious about the document. What was inside it?
Why did Lao Gao's attitude change so quickly?
Seeing Shen Qingqing following Lao Gao inside, Mrs. Gao also followed, grabbing Mr. Gao's arm and complaining incessantly.
"Lao Gao, what did the document say?"
"Why did you let her in? You didn't even help me when she treated me like that?"
Mr. Gao was so annoyed by her nagging that he said, "Can you stop bothering me?! We need to discuss important matters here. If you have nothing to do, go back to your room!"
Mrs. Gao was taken aback.
She turned and saw Shen Qingqing's calm gaze, which seemed to be filled with sarcasm. However, Mr. Gao was clearly angry.
She didn't dare to pester him anymore and stomped her foot hard.
"You just wait!"
