I married a petty hooligan in place of my sister, living a life of poverty. Who knew that my husband would suddenly transform into a mysteriously powerful and influential tycoon?
Jiang Can co...
"What? We can't find it?" Gu Feng was taken aback.
Gu's surveillance system is considered one of the best in the industry. The use of various methods to monitor employees has become an open secret throughout the group.
Most employees dare not speak out against such violations of privacy and human rights, choosing instead to silently endure them.
But this tactic didn't work on Huo Yu at all?
Gu Feng composed himself and continued, "If we can't find anything... what could be the reason?"
The subordinate replied, "We first checked Huo Yu's start date, and then retrieved all the surveillance footage based on that date, but we found nothing... It's as if he's never even been to Gu's!"
"And that truck he was driving... we checked it too. The tracking system on the truck has been malfunctioning, and he hasn't driven any other vehicles besides that one, so..."
Gu Feng couldn't stand it anymore and growled, "What a bunch of useless trash!"
Knowing he had failed in his duty, the subordinates hung their heads, trembling with fear, and dared not make excuses.
After a long silence, the subordinate stammered, "Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, actually..."
Gu Feng glanced at him impatiently, "Actually what?"
"Although we haven't been able to find Huo Yu's whereabouts, we have learned some information."
"explain."
"The eldest son of the Huo family in Yangcheng is named Huo Junyu!"
Gu Feng paused, his brows furrowing. "You mean, Huo Yu is Huo Junyu?"
The subordinate chuckled awkwardly, "No... we guys just think those two names sound a bit similar! Maybe they really are connected!"
Gu Feng's eyes widened, and suddenly he was furious. He grabbed the documents on the table and threw them at him.
"Has the name Huo Junyu been registered? Is he the only one allowed to use it, and no one else can?!"
"Mr. Gu..."
"With tens of millions of people in Yangcheng, is it difficult to find a few people with the same name? Is it really that difficult!"
His subordinates, still shaken, hurriedly ran out. Gu Feng then plopped down in a chair, loosened his tie, and let out a long sigh of relief.
I'm so angry at these useless people...
How can a truck driver with a criminal record, who got married and started a family here, be compared to the high and mighty eldest son of the Huo family?
Gu Feng rubbed his temples, but as he calmed down, the more he thought about it, the more suspicious it seemed.
He carefully recalled the scene of meeting Huo Yu that day. This man exuded an air of nobility, with deep eyes, a firm expression, and a powerful and cold aura...
But what were Gu's truck drivers like?
He often throws on any clothes to save time, and ends up covered in dirt from carrying goods. Whenever he sees him, he bows and scrapes, showering him with compliments.
Some people are rude, some are obsequious, and some are short-tempered.
But no one else possessed the same temperament as Huo Yu.
Gu Feng's heart skipped a beat... Could it be that the eldest son of the Huo family has really descended to the mortal realm? But what is his purpose in doing this? Could it really be that he has come to experience the suffering of the human world?
He squinted, got up and walked to the liquor cabinet, taking out a bottle of brandy that wasn't of very high quality.
The burning sensation burned his throat, and his tense face grew even more serious. He glanced at the bottle; it was the liquor given to him by Gu Zihan's father, his older brother whom he had never met, on the day he first arrived at the Gu family home.
The eldest brother was arrogant by nature, and he especially treated Gu Feng, his illegitimate son whom he had been raising outside the family, with a very cold attitude. He had said in public many times that giving Gu Feng the surname Gu was already a great favor to this bastard.
This bottle of brandy was used by his older brother to humiliate him.
The eldest brother wanted to show everyone that an illegitimate child only deserves to drink this kind of cheap wine and will never be able to inherit the Gu family business...
Gu Feng took a deep breath and smashed the wine glass on the ground, leaving it shattered into pieces!
The eldest brother mismanaged the business, and the Gu family was already terminally ill. If it weren't for his hard work over the years, the Gu family wouldn't be where it is today.
But at this critical juncture, another problem arose with the beverage formula. Just as this wave subsided, Gu Zihan's wave started... Gu Feng didn't want to do the work for others anymore!
"If he really is Huo Junyu..." he murmured to himself, a slight smile appearing on his face.
He immediately picked up the phone and called his assistant: "Make me a reservation at the same hotel as last time! And by any means necessary, get Jiang Mianmian to come out with me..."
"Never mind," he suddenly changed his mind, "I'll go and make the appointment myself!"
Jiang Mianmian was already wary of everyone in the Gu family because of Gu Zihan.
Therefore, making the appointment yourself shows more sincerity.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Feng went into the bathroom, looked in the mirror, tidied his hair, and smiled with satisfaction.

Central City.
In the hospital, Huo Junyang, leaning on a cane, limped along, supporting himself against the wall, holding his phone between his ear and shoulder, and complained bitterly to Huo Junyu:
"I really can't stand it anymore... My parents are always showing off their affection at home without caring about anyone else, and they don't pay any attention to me at all! Last time, Mom said she wanted to eat a fried egg, and Dad immediately cooked five or six for her to choose from, some with a low flame and some with a high flame! But when I said I wanted to eat one, Dad actually asked Aunt Zhou to make one for me!"
Huo Junyu was confused by these words. "Can't Aunt Zhou do it? Haven't we always had Aunt Zhou cook for us since we were little?"
"How can they be the same?"
"But... what does your parents showing affection have to do with your injury?"
Huo Junyang hesitated for a moment before explaining, "Well, I just couldn't stand seeing them showing off, so I wanted to break them up... Bro, that was just a kid's inflatable balloon hammer, and it didn't even touch them!"
Huo Junyu held his forehead and sighed deeply.
