Hey……

Someone sighed softly.

Zhao Jinchen explained: "Lanlan, I didn't tell you just now because I was worried that you didn't want to hear about your second brother."

Zhao Jinheng did not recognize Gu Jinlan as his sister and did not even come back for the wedding.

This made the other people in the Zhao family feel very guilty towards Gu Jinlan, so they did not dare to mention Zhao Jinheng in front of Gu Jinlan.

Gu Jinlan frowned and didn't respond.

Zhao Jingchuan added, "Besides, today is the day you return home, and we don't want to spoil your fun. We definitely don't mean to treat you as an outsider."

Zhao Zihua and Yan Ziyin beside him nodded in agreement.

Gu Jinlan smiled helplessly: "You worry too much. I don't care what Zhao Jinheng's attitude towards me is. None of this matters."

The important thing is that they are a family now.

Since she has decided to return to the Zhao family and get to know the Zhao family, then the Zhao family's affairs from now on will be her business.

She asked Zhao Jinche: "What is the specific situation now? Can't contact him?"

Zhao Jinche pursed his lips tightly, afraid that he would say something wrong and be scolded again, and looked at Zhao Jinchen.

Zhao Jinchen said, "We are not very clear about the specific situation, but we have lost contact now. Jingchuan and I will go there in person this afternoon."

Yun Luoxi comforted him, "Maybe the situation is not as bad as we think. I heard Jingchuan say before that when the second brother is concentrating on his own experiments, he will ignore anyone."

"But Jin Che's friends have all gone to the lab, and no one is there..." Yan Ziyin choked up, "In fact, I felt that something was wrong with Jin Heng before. I called him to come back to attend Lan Lan's wedding, but he didn't answer the phone. Even if he didn't listen to us in the past, he wouldn't have ignored the phone. Maybe at that time..."

Yan Ziyin wiped away her tears and said, "If he had been in trouble by then, it might be too late for us to look for him now..."

Zhao Zihua hugged Yan Ziyin's shoulders and patted her gently, "Don't scare yourself. Jin Heng is a smart kid. Even if he really encounters any danger, he will definitely find a way to protect himself."

Among the Zhao brothers, Zhao Jinheng has the highest IQ. The research he does is not only beneficial to the country, but also to mankind.

Shi Ye asked: "Have you received any strange calls in the past two days?"

The Zhao family members looked at each other and shook their heads.

Zhao Jingchuan said: "It shouldn't be kidnapping. No strangers have contacted us. I also checked my second brother's bank account and found that not a penny was missing."

Hearing this, Gu Jinlan's heart sank slightly.

If the kidnapping was for money, Zhao Jinheng would not be in danger for the time being and the problem would be easily solved.

It’s not the money issue that’s the real danger.

She quickly asked, "What kind of research is Zhao Jinheng doing? Could it be related to his work?"

Zhao Jinchen shook his head and said, "Jin Heng signed a confidentiality agreement for his research, and he can't even tell us about it. I once asked him out of curiosity, and he said that it was for our own good to keep it confidential."

Zhao Jinche finally couldn't help but add: "Anyway, the research done by my second brother is amazing."

Gu Jinlan pondered for a moment, and when she heard Yan Ziyin sobbing, she turned to look, "Mom, don't worry, I have a friend in Country M. I'll ask him to look for Zhao Jinheng, and he should find the clue soon."

Yan Ziyin's eyes lit up and she quickly asked, "Lanlan, what does your friend do in Country M?"

Gu Jinlan was stunned, not knowing how to answer.

Shi Ye said: "Lan Lan's friend is one of the best hackers in the world. He is the one in the wheelchair at our wedding."

Gu Jinlan glanced at Shi Ye.

If Si Mo could hear Shi Ye recognize him so much, he would probably be very happy.

Zhao Jingchuan nodded thoughtfully, "No wonder... When I saw him that day, I felt that he was not an ordinary person."

Shi Ye said: "I also have some connections in Country M. If we ask around, we should have news about Jin Heng soon."

"Aye, thank you..." Tears welled up in Yan Ziyin's eyes again. She was moved by the unity of their family, but also felt guilty towards Gu Jinlan. "You just had your wedding, it should have been a happy time, but now..."

"Mom, don't say such polite words." Gu Jinlan said gently, "We are a family, we should help each other."

Hearing Gu Jinlan calling her "Mom" all the time, Yan Ziyin felt very relieved and the tears in her eyes finally stopped.

Zhao Zihua said, "Lanlan, don't worry too much about the things at home. Your eldest brother and third brother will be there this afternoon anyway."

Gu Jinlan smiled and nodded.

The relatives in front of her really held her in their hands and protected her.

Even though such a big thing happened, they were still concerned about not making her unhappy or causing her trouble.

"Then I'll go pack my luggage first." Zhao Jinchen stood up and walked away.

Then Gu Jinlan made an excuse to go to the bathroom and went upstairs to find Zhao Jinchen.

In the bedroom, Zhao Jinchen was putting things into the suitcase with his back to the door.

"Big brother."

After hearing Gu Jinlan's voice, Zhao Jinchen turned around, and his brows, which were tightly furrowed due to worry, quickly relaxed, and a warm smile as gentle as jade appeared on his handsome face.

"Lanlan, why are you here?"

Gu Jinlan walked in and said, "I came up to see you. Why isn't your sister-in-law here today?"

Zhao Jinchen said: "Shu Yi's funeral was just completed today, and she will stay in the imperial capital with my father-in-law for a few days."

"Oh..." Gu Jinlan asked again, "Did Xiaojin go with them?"

"Shu Yi is her aunt after all, she should go. With her by her side, her mother and grandfather will feel better. I should have gone back with them, but now Jin Heng is in trouble and I can't leave."

After saying that, Zhao Jinchen continued to pack his luggage.

Gu Jinlan hesitated for a moment, and asked tentatively: "Brother, then... did Shu Yi's death affect the relationship between you and sister-in-law?"

Zhao Jinchen suddenly stopped packing his luggage and turned to look at Gu Jinlan. He suddenly realized, "Lanlan, are you worried that Shu He will blame you and Aye for Shu Yi's death?"

If Shu He felt resentful about this, and he would definitely stand on his sister's side, then the relationship between the couple would indeed be affected.

Gu Jinlan bit her lower lip lightly and did not answer.

Zhao Jinchen put down the neatly folded shirt in his hand and walked up to Gu Jinlan. "Lanlan, listen to me. Shu Yi's death has nothing to do with you and Aye. She chose that path herself. You don't have to feel that you owe her anything."

Gu Jinlan said: "Of course Aye and I don't owe Shu Yi anything, but the things Shu Yi said before she died... I'm worried that my sister-in-law might have some thoughts in her mind, which would affect the relationship between you two."
