Chapter 895 Lost Contact

Gu Hao has always been the one who takes the lead in exposing other people's scars, and he never exposes others, only Deng Kai's...

After he said this, even Deng Kai, who had a thick skin like a city wall, felt embarrassed. He pointed at Gu Hao's nose and cursed, "Are you a human being? Do you have a heart? How can you not tell good from bad?! It was indeed my fault for not telling you about the house purchase in advance, but didn't I do that to give you a surprise? I, Deng Kai, have known you for such a long time, but am I not worthy of your approval?! I wanted to let you settle down in Beidu with good intentions, but I made you so unhappy. If I had known this would happen... I really don't know what I was trying to achieve by doing this?!"

Gu Hao looked at Deng Kai, whose eyes were bloodshot from anger, and knew that what he had said just now was indeed a bit too much. However, Gu Hao was not a person who was willing to give in, and naturally he would not give in to Deng Kai, so he tightly grasped the property certificate in his hand, and after a moment of silence, he slowly placed the things on the coffee table, and then left without saying a word...

After listening to Deng Kai's words, Song Jiang couldn't help but sigh in his heart that the second young master Deng was so troublesome. Who was Gu Hao? He was a person who had been in the human world for many lives. How could he easily settle down in one place?

Let's talk about his relationship with Deng Kai. Although on the surface, the two are friends and brothers who share life and death, and of course Deng Kai himself thinks so... However, Song Jiang could sense Gu Hao's vague hostility towards Deng Kai from the very beginning.

It was not until the various things that happened later and Meng Zhe's secret hints, intentional or unintentional, that made Song Jiang more convinced that there was a life-long feud between Gu Hao and Deng Kai. Therefore, Deng Kai was just an ant in Gu Hao's hand. When he was in a good mood, he could make him live a hundred years, but when he was in a bad mood, he could crush him to death in minutes... So all along, Gu Hao's protection of Deng Kai was more like this ant that I can kill, but others cannot.

But people are not plants, how can they be heartless? Although Gu Hao has experienced many things that ordinary people cannot imagine, and has been a person who has taken over other people's bodies for countless lifetimes, his essence is still human after all. When people get along with each other for a long time, they will naturally have many ties. Therefore, Song Jiang was not sure what Gu Hao thought of Deng Kai now...

However, Song Jiang could still feel that Gu Hao had been trying hard to maintain a very delicate balance. He would never take the initiative to show any affection to Deng Kai and Yan Yue. He was also happy to hold Deng Kai, the little ant, in the palm of his hand. As long as the little ant did not do anything too out of line, he would play with the little ant for a few more years until he got tired of the game.

But now Deng Kai suddenly bought a house for Gu Hao and wanted him to settle down in Beidu... This was obviously far beyond what an ant should do, so Gu Hao was very angry. He was angry at Deng Kai, this idiot and self-indulgent person, but he was also angry at himself.

"You haven't contacted him since then?" Song Jiang asked with amusement.

Deng Kai said with a frustrated look, "I was also very angry at that time, okay? Please judge for yourself. Is Gu Hao such a jerk? I bought him a house out of kindness. What did I do wrong? If he really doesn't appreciate it, then just refuse it. Is there any need to say such harsh words?!"

Song Jiang also understood that Deng Kai was indeed aggrieved, so he had to comfort him, "Hasn't Gu Hao's temper always been like this? This is not the first day you've known him?! Besides, what you did was really scary. You suddenly bought a house for him? Why? You don't want Gu Hao to sign a contract to sell himself here, do you?!"

Deng Kai quickly retorted upon hearing this, "How is that possible?! I didn't mean that... I admit that I have selfish motives in this matter and want Gu Hao to stay in Beidu forever, but that also requires Gu Hao to be willing, right? With Gu Hao's ability, can a house make him sell himself? Do you think that's possible?!"

Song Jiang nodded and said, "That makes sense. If that's the case, then this is just a misunderstanding. Let's talk it out and give each other a way out... Isn't this matter over?"

Deng Kai's greatest strength is that he never gets stuck in a rut. After hearing what Song Jiang said, he chuckled and said, "Then why don't you give him a call? I'm afraid he's still angry and won't answer the phone." Song Jiang shook his head helplessly, then dialed Gu Hao's number with his mobile phone. However, after a while, the phone came out with a "beep, beep, beep..." tone and the call could not be connected.

Deng Kai, who was standing by, asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Is he not answering the call or is his phone turned off? Is it out of service?!"

When Song Jiang saw this, he gestured to him to calm down, and then continued to dial. Unfortunately, the call could not be connected. Logically, this voice was not turned off or busy, it seemed that the call could not be connected for unknown reasons...

Of course, it is normal that Gu Hao's whereabouts cannot be reached by phone. After all, he has been taking private jobs outside in the name of the company during this period of time, so who knows where he is performing rituals to exorcise ghosts now.

Song Jiang thought of this and said to Deng Kai, "Why don't you go and take a look at the house he rented?"

Unexpectedly, Deng Kai said with an embarrassed look on his face, "I've been there before... there must be no one there."

In desperation, Song Jiang had to call Meng Zhe who was out on business, hoping that he could help find Gu Hao's whereabouts. It would be understandable if he said that the other party was deliberately avoiding Deng Kai and himself so the call could not be reached... but he definitely did not dare to avoid Meng Zhe.

But when Meng Zhe came back in the evening, he said that he couldn't contact Gu Hao either. Song Jiang immediately realized that something was wrong, because what Meng Zhe meant by "can't contact" was not as simple as the phone call couldn't get through. What he meant by "can't contact" meant that Gu Hao had lost contact for some unknown reason.

"I told him he was gone, but you said no! This is bad. Gu Hao must want to cut off contact with everyone and never come back!" Deng Kai said to Song Jiang in a complaining tone because he was anxious.

Compared to Deng Kai's impatience, Song Jiang was much calmer. After listening to Deng Kai's words, he waved his hands and said, "Absolutely impossible! Do you think Gu Hao is underage? He ran away from home because he was angry?!"

"He has just reached adulthood, okay? If I had known that this kid had such a bad temper, I shouldn't have called him a villain!" Deng Kai said with great regret.

Of course, the calmest among the three was Meng Zhe. He stood calmly in front of the window, looking at the night outside, wondering what he was thinking. Seeing this, Song Jiang walked over and asked, "You said...did Gu Hao encounter any danger?"
