C298 Confirm Withdrawal

Du Kai saw Tao Ning coming downstairs and quickly stood up from the sofa. He nodded at her and smiled. "I came for the lawsuit. But Miss Jiyue, don't be nervous. I brought some good news this time."

The smile on Du Kai's face was forced and his words were vague. Tao Ning could not figure it out for a moment. "Is that good news or not?"

"Gu Zhengchu has withdrawn his complaint." Du Kai hesitated for a moment and said it directly. Whether it was good news or not depended on what she thought.

"Withdraw? Withdraw? Why?" Tao Ning was stunned and her steps also stopped. Tao Ning looked at Du Kai who was still some distance away from her and looked surprised.

"I don't know the reason either. I just suddenly received such a notice, so I came over to tell Miss Jiyue that I want to hear what you think about this matter." Du Kai had a bitter smile on his face.

Last night, he was still preparing the documents late because of the lawsuit. Who would have thought that he would come this morning and tell her that the preparations were not needed? Du Kai could not figure out the reason, so he had to find Tao Ning.

After saying that, Du Kai looked at Tao Ning again. This time, he had a few more expectations.

"I can't tell why either. Maybe that Gu Zhengchu is crazy! He was originally not normal." Facing Du Kai's waiting eyes, Tao Ning could only find some words to say.

She really did not think that Gu Zhengchu would actually do what he said. He really withdrew his complaint, but this way, it made it even more difficult for her to feel at ease. If Gu Zhengchu did not withdraw the lawsuit, it meant that he still wanted to win this lawsuit.

But now, he withdrew the lawsuit. Didn't that mean that he was focused on finding his father? She still couldn't guess what he wanted to do, but it definitely wasn't a good thing.

"If that's the case, then I have nothing else to do." After Du Kai finished speaking, he sighed.

He originally thought that he could help Wei Jiyue settle a matter this time, which could be considered as repaying Old Master Wei's kindness of knowing about the past. However, he did not expect to meet someone who wanted to retreat. He could only give up halfway.

After hearing this, Tao Ning came back to her senses and walked over to thank him. "No matter what, thank you very much for Lawyer Du's help during this period of time."

She could see a trace of unwillingness and helplessness on Du Kai's face. She also knew that he had put in a lot of effort in this matter. However, it did not have much effect on him now. For a lawyer who had never lost a case before, it could be said to be a blow to him.

But there was no other way. As the defendant, the plaintiffs had withdrawn their charges. How could they continue? They couldn't possibly go against the other party, could they? Tao Ning understood his feelings very well. Regarding the time and effort he had put in for his father these past few days, she felt even more grateful in her heart.

"No, this is what I should do." Du Kai quickly replied politely.

After sending Du Kai away, Tao Ning called Gu Zhengchu again, but no one answered. He was sincerely ignoring her, sincerely making her feel uncomfortable.

Tao Ning paced around the room. She really wanted to go out and find her father. But after thinking calmly for a while, she suppressed the impulse in her heart. Not to mention that those two bodyguards would definitely not let her go. What if she met Gu Zhengchu after she went out?

Tao Ning still had lingering fears from the last time she was forcefully pulled into the car by him! As for Gu Zhengchu, he must have regretted it in his heart. Why didn't he just take her away? If that was the case, he wouldn't need to do this now.

For the first three days before Fei Aoting went out, she would call Tao Ning to report the progress every day. Even if there was no progress, she would report it every day. This was the matter that Tao Ning had made an agreement with her before she left.

So the thing that Tao Ning was most anxious about every day was to wait for Fei Aoting's call and hope that she could bring her good news. But for three consecutive days, the news that she brought was almost the same and she did not find out where her father was.

But on the third day, Fei Aoting told her that someone had seen her father appear in S City. Whether it was true or not, she still had to go and verify before finding out. Just like that, Tao Ning waited until the next day's sky turned dark. Fei Aoting still did not call.

In the past three days, Fei Aoting always called to report at dusk on time but now it was already two hours late and before the call came in, Tao Ning finally could not hold it in and called first.

But until the end of the ringtone, it was not picked up. At this time, Tao Ning already had a bad premonition in her heart but she was trying hard to find an excuse. Fei Aoting might be doing something, or her phone malfunctioned. Or maybe she found that she was in a remote place where she could not even get through the phone...

In short, when she saw it later, she would definitely call to explain the reason and progress to her. No matter how anxious she was right now, it was useless. She had to calm down and wait patiently!

"Aoting, you must bring Dad back. Dad, you must not be in trouble..." Tao Ning paced back and forth in the house. Her face was full of worry and her mouth kept chanting prayers.

She did not know when she fell asleep. It was as if she fell asleep while waiting endlessly and could not help but feel sleepy. When she woke up, she was paralyzed by the arm under her head as if it was not her own.

Tao Ning frowned and moved a few times. She turned to look outside the window and saw that it was already bright. She looked at her phone again and saw that she had not called before. Tao Ning finally could not calm down anymore.

"Big Brother, I can't contact Aoting. I don't know what happened." Standing by the bed, Tao Ning held her phone and looked out the window. The roses on the wall were still blooming very well. Her heart was like those tangled vines. She was unable to comb it.

The first person she thought of was still her big brother. Big brother should have other ways to contact Aoting, right? After all, there were so many people accompanying Aoting. It was impossible to not be able to contact all of them, right? If that was really the case, then something major must have happened. They had to hurry and assist.

"Jiyue, don't worry. I'll get my assistant to contact them right away." Wei Tingjun was reminded by Tao Ning and suddenly remembered that he did not receive Fei Aoting's report yesterday. He could not help but frown.

After putting down the phone, he immediately called his assistant and asked him to contact Fei Aoting immediately. Now that he knew that Gu Zhengchu did not give up and even tried to catch Tao Dayu as a bargaining chip to threaten Wei Jiyue, this matter could not be neglected either.

If he wasn't careful, Gu Zhengchu would succeed. When Wei Jiyue went over to Gu Zhengchu's side, everything he had done before would really be a gift for others.

Although she received Wei Tingjun's repeated promises, she still could not contact Fei Aoting after a long time. Tao Ning's heart was still uneasy and could not sit still in the end.

Tao Ning picked up her bag and was about to go out when she arrived at the yard. Two bodyguards and two aunties immediately surrounded her.
