Chapter 48.3

“Xiao Gu.”

Qin Fan suddenly called out to him.

Gu Yanshu looked up in confusion.

Seeing that Gu Yanshu had lost his composure for once, Qin Fan asked with concern, “What’s wrong? You seem to have something on your mind.”

“Huh? No, it’s just…”

Ring!

Gu Yanshu didn’t know how to explain, when his phone suddenly rang. He quickly picked up his phone and stood up. “Sorry, I’ll take this call first.”

After saying that, he left quickly and closed the door of the private room behind him, before taking a deep breath.

After saying that, he ended the call and directly booked the earliest flight back to Suzhou. Then, he returned to the private room and said in a much faster speed than usual, “Director Qin, President Ye, I’m sorry. Something cropped up, so I might have to leave first.”

Ye Leng asked, “What’s wrong?”

Gu Yanshu replied as he packed up, “Something happened to a family member. I have to go back to my hometown now.”

Ye Leng stood up. “It’s not easy to get a cab right now. Let me drive you.”

Gu Yanshu paused for a moment, then nodded and said, “Thank you, President Ye.”

When Ye Leng drove the car out, Gu Yanshu immediately recognised it. It was the Aston Martin from last night. It seemed that Shen Jue had indeed gone to look for Ye Leng before he left this morning.

Thinking of this, Gu Yanshu felt a bit more at ease, as if there was always someone he could think about.

He took out his phone and sent Shen Jue a WeChat message: “Something happened to Grandpa. I’m going back to Suzhou.”

After sending the message, Shen Jue didn’t reply.

Gu Yanshu guessed that he was probably busy, so he didn’t think too much about it. He called Fang Yuan again and told him about all the follow-up matters, then explained the situation to the production team and applied for leave. Finally, he contacted the directing team of “The Greatest Stage” and said that discussions about the stage could only be carried through email for the time being. When everything was arranged, they had already arrived at the airport.

Ye Leng parked the car by the side and turned to look at him. “Be careful on the way. Don’t worry about anything else. The company will help you deal with it.”

Gu Yanshu unbuckled his seatbelt. “Thank you, President Ye.”

“There’s no need to thank me. So long as you’re in U.N., U.N. will protect you. It’s just…” Ye Leng paused for a moment. “For people like Shen Jue, there are more things that are out of their own volition. I hope you understand.”

Out of their own volition? 

Being “out of their own volition” was probably one of the most “helpless” phrases in the world. 

Gu Yanshu said, “I understand.”

Then, he left in a hurry and walked all the way to the plane.

Before the plane took off, Gu Yanshu took out his phone. Shen Jue still didn’t reply.

After hesitating for a while, he finally opened the business card of “Large Dog”, but the only answer he got was a cold mechanical female voice. “Hi, the number you have dialled is currently unavailable. Please try again later…”

He hung up and redialed.

He hung up and redialed once more.

Until the stewardess next to him reminded him, “Hello, sir, the plane is about to take off. Please turn your phone to flight mode. Thank you for your cooperation.”

Gu Yanshu replied calmly, “Okay.”

Then, he turned off his phone and closed his eyes.

Forget it. It was actually nothing. He just wanted to hear Shen Jue say, “It’ll be fine, I’m here.”
