Chapter 340 Sun Anran's Help Warms People's Hearts
Wu Qingluan was stunned, a little embarrassed, but at the same time she had some concerns. Sun Anran did not ignore her concerns and said generously: "Don't worry, I know the nature of your work. I will send you to where you want to go and then I will leave."
When he said this, Wu Qingluan felt a little embarrassed, but the most urgent task now was to find Gu Nankai. Soon, she nodded at Sun Anran, and pointed to the side with a bit of guilt, indicating that she was going to make a phone call. Sun Anran nodded at her and pointed in the direction of his car, indicating that he would wait for her there.
Seeing Sun Anran left, Wu Qingluan quickly called Gao Yuan. Gao Yuan on the other end of the phone was very excited for a while, thinking that Wu Qingluan had found Gu Nankai, but he was soon disappointed. Fortunately, Wu Qingluan had a new clue. She quickly asked Gao Yuan: "Gao Yuan, can you find the beach where Gu Nankai had the accident?"
Gao Yuan didn't react for a moment, and asked blankly: "What beach? Teacher Wu, what are you talking about?"
Wu Qingluan realized belatedly that Gao Yuan probably didn't know the details of the incident, so she told him briefly, "That's where Gu Nankai's partner died. It's on the beach. Check it out and tell me right away. I'll go over there and call you if I can find him."
Gao Yuan did not ask any further questions, and quickly used the information Wu Qingluan gave him to look up clues about the beach. Although the information was difficult to find, with his abilities and some tricks, he still managed to get some clues. Wu Qingluan certainly didn't know how much risk and effort Gao Yuan had taken to use this trick, but what made her happy was that Gao Yuan sent the clues Wu Qingluan wanted not long after.
Wu Qingluan glanced at the clues on her phone, breathed a sigh of relief , and then hurried towards Sun Anran's car. Sun Anran had already prepared the car. He had originally left the passenger door half open waiting for Wu Qingluan to come, but after Wu Qingluan came, he opened the back door and got in.
Sun Anran's eyes dimmed, and he was a little disappointed, but he quickly closed the car door again without leaving any trace. Without much nonsense or even polite words, he directly asked Wu Qingluan: "Where is it? Let's leave immediately."
Wu Qingluan's mind was filled with Gu Nankai at this moment, and she hurriedly reported the location to Sun Anran. Sun Anran quickly started the car. The car was driving steadily and quickly, which made Wu Qingluan feel a little more at ease. However, she still clenched her fists, and kept repeating to herself in her heart that she must find Gu Nankai this time, she must find Gu Nankai.
Sun Anran could catch a glimpse of her current appearance in the rearview mirror, and saw that there was not only worry about her colleagues in her eyes. Somehow he suddenly thought of Gu Nankai. Now thinking about the scene of their first meeting, he realized belatedly that Wu Qingluan had been standing next to Gu Nankai at the time, and her eyes had never left Gu Nankai.
Now that the scene was gradually deepening in his mind, he suddenly understood that it turned out that the eyes of such an outstanding girl were also filled with someone.
It was not that he had not looked up Wu Qingluan's information later. It was not difficult to find out about her. Such an outstanding person would always be dazzling. A cursory search would reveal that her current job in the police station was not the best choice for her. However, she seemed to be very happy with it. She enjoyed that job and was making her own dedication to it.
It turns out she did it for him.
Sun Anran suddenly realized this. He smiled gently without letting Wu Qingluan see it. There was just a hint of loneliness in his eyes, but the speed of the car did not slow down. It was still as steady and fast as before.
Soon they arrived at the place Wu Qingluan mentioned, Xihai in Longhai City.
The West Sea is the largest body of water in Longhai. It once nurtured generations of Longhai people. However, with the development and progress of science and technology, this sea has gradually faded out of the lives of Longhai people. In addition, the pollution of the West Sea has been quite serious in the past few decades, so the government’s rectification of the West Sea has been very strong in recent years. Therefore, not many people usually go there, because not only is the water quality poor, but the government also prohibits the pollution of the West Sea again.
Sun Anran sent the person there. Seeing that it was unsafe for a girl to go through Xihai at night, he took the initiative to say, "The road is unsafe. I'll take you there and we'll talk after we find the person."
Looking at the dimly lit place, Wu Qingluan was grateful for Sun Anran's help and was eager to find Gu Nankai. She immediately said to Sun Anran with gratitude, "Mr. Sun, thank you so much for accompanying me so late. It's really troublesome for you."
Sun Anran didn't care: "I was just out for a walk, and now I'm out for a walk."
As he spoke, his mind turned. On one hand, he was afraid that Wu Qingluan would feel embarrassed, and on the other hand, he was undeniably a little selfish. He half-jokingly said, "If you really want to thank me, you can treat me to a meal and a drink after you solve the case. Now is not the time to talk about this. We have business to deal with."
Of course Wu Qingluan would follow his lead and accept his kindness. Of course, she also accepted the invitation for a meal or a drink. This was her duty, so there was no problem. She didn't think much about it and went there with Sun Anran, thinking about the approximate location Gao Yuan told her.
Gu Nankai was indeed here at this moment.
The plank road had become somewhat unstable a few years ago. Even though he had not set foot here for many years, he still clearly remembered everything that happened here. At this moment, he stared at the sea in front of him with distracted eyes, and his whole body looked decadent as if he had no soul. When Wu Qingluan recognized Gu Nankai sitting there like a sculpture, he felt angry and sad.
Sun Anran also saw Gu Nankai. Just seeing his back was enough to surprise him. He simply couldn't believe that the man who had been chatting with him not long ago would be in such a state now. Based on his understanding of Gu Nankai at that time, this man seemed to be able to face any situation calmly, but now, in just two days, he looked like this.
It was as if he had suffered a great blow and felt like he had lost his soul.
Wu Qingluan couldn't help but burst into tears. Although she was very angry in her heart, angry that he disappeared without a clear reason, angry that he hid himself away without caring about everyone's concerns, angry that he didn't tell them anything. But when she saw Gu Nankai who was completely out of spirit, confused and helpless, all her anger seemed nothing surprising.
She did not go up directly, nor did she disturb Gu Nankai. Instead, she informed others of the news that she had found Gu Nankai. After sending them the location, Wu Qingluan looked at Sun Anran apologetically and said, "Mr. Sun, I'm really sorry. Although I know this is very rude, our colleagues' affairs are relatively private, so I hope that you can..."
Sun Anran understood immediately.
He quickly nodded in understanding, with a smile on his face, which made Wu Qingluan feel even more guilty about him. She immediately added, "After the matter is resolved, I will definitely come to thank you. I am really sorry for bothering you today."
When she said this, Sun Anran's smile deepened, but she quickly glanced at Gu Nankai with concern: "I'm fine, but Mr. Gu's condition is very bad. I know it's not good for me to stay here, but I also know he definitely doesn't want me to see him like this. So, I'll leave first, but if you need any help, call me immediately."
