Chapter 1464: You Had Better Mean What You Say

This time Guo Fengze was truly panicked; he turned and pointed a finger at Hu Yue Mei: "Hu Yue Mei, you, very, very good indeed. If Jing Jing comes to harm, you and the entire Hu family had better wait and see."

Seeing Guo Fengze so angry he was incoherent, Hu Yue Mei said: "Fengze, it's all my fault. Finding Yue Jing is the most important thing now. I'll immediately mobilize people from my maiden family to search for her; she certainly won't come to any harm."

Guo Fengze had no patience to waste further words on her. He turned and walked toward the door. Just before reaching the entrance, he said without looking back: "If Yue Jing comes to harm, you need not remain in the Guo family either."

When he first brought her into the household, it was to care for the youngest, Guo Yuejing. For the first few years, she had disguised herself well. It was only by chance, upon returning early once, that he discovered she spoke without meaning it, and he lost the trust he had previously held for her.

Afterward, he seized opportunities to warn her a few times. Seeing she remained relatively well-behaved, he did not trouble her further. Who would have thought this would happen? She not only indulged her niece in seducing Jing Jing's partner, but also took it upon herself to arrange a blind date for her own daughter?

Look at the kind of person she arranged. She really took advantage of his face.

Now his daughter has been so angered she ran away from home. If something truly happens to her, his two sons will likely truly clash with him, their father.

Once Guo Fengze left, Hu Yue Mei made a phone call. While the person on the other end went to gather people, she paced anxiously back and forth inside the room.

Hearing the phone ring, she answered quickly: "Big Brother, it's bad news. That dead girl Guo Yuejing has actually run away from home. But coincidentally, Fengze returned today. He just flew into a rage at me and said if that dead girl comes to harm, I shouldn't stay in the Guo family either. What should I do?"

"Didn't they say he wouldn't be back for over a month? How did he return early?"

"How would I know? Oh, is this the time to talk about that? Hurry and have the family members go out to help search for her. If that dead girl truly comes to harm, then all our efforts over so many years will have been in vain."

"Right, right, right. I'll have the whole family go out to search for her immediately."

Then, thinking of something, she said: "Perhaps we should stop the scheme we were plotting earlier?"

Hu Yue Mei objected urgently: "No. If this matter fails, Hu Jingxiu will likely never find a better family. Besides, the deed is done, and we have already offended the person. What use is there in going back on our word?"

"True. I was confused."

"Brother, only if Jingxiu marries well will I have more say in the Guo family, and only then can our Hu family rise another level. Moreover, Guo Minglei recently took on a case and has been so busy his feet barely touch the ground. For us, that means we have both the right timing and the right location. As long as Jingxiu keeps her composure over there, by the time Guo Minglei realizes what happened, it will be too late."

"But what if..."

"Brother, there is no 'what if.' Guo Minglei has both a good family background and personal ability. Most importantly, Jingxiu likes him. I already owe Jingxiu a debt; I will definitely help her through to the end on this matter."

"But..."

"Brother, stop being indecisive. Hurry and have the family members go out to search for her. The most important thing right now is that that dead girl must not come to harm; otherwise, everything will be for nothing."

The person on the other end of the phone sighed: "Alright then, brother will listen to you."

The Guo and Hu families busied themselves throughout the night but still could not find her.

Guo Yuejing's second brother spoke sarcastically to his own father: "You don't still expect us to consider the big picture, do you?"

Guo Fengze tossed the butt of his cigarette onto the ground: "I am not so confused as to that extent. If Jing Jing truly comes to any harm this time, I will divorce her."

The eldest, Guo Yue Ling, who had remained silent until now, said with a cold face: "You had better mean what you say."
