Chapter 226: The Mastermind

"Okay, that's enough."

Before his men finished speaking, Gu Xixing could no longer listen.

"Xie Nancheng and I will never let this go."

"But I'm not the type to take advantage of someone's vulnerability."

"But, Mr. Gu..."

"No buts, that's it."

"So we're going to let this opportunity go? Mr. Gu, I really don't think opportunities like this come around often. That's a charge of murder. Even if it was self-defense, he did kill someone..."

Beep, beep, beep...

Before his subordinate finished speaking, Gu Xixing had already hung up the phone.

After hanging up the phone, he stood up and walked to the floor-to-ceiling window in the office.

He rarely smokes, and was playing with a brown cigar in his hand.

He looked out the window silently...

He has never been a gentleman. In this treacherous business world, there have never been any gentlemen.

Even a true gentleman cannot come to the scene, since Chengtian Pharmaceutical was taken over by my father.

Although Gu Xixing has always done things sincerely, all his enemies who have attacked him have never had a good ending.

Regarding the fire at the base, he did think Xie Nancheng was the biggest suspect.

I didn't intend to let it go so easily.

But this time, poisoning those gangsters...

Obviously, this is not something Xie Nancheng can do.

Gu Xixing could guess almost immediately that this was Tu Ran's work.

Therefore, no matter how beneficial this line is to oneself, one should not dig too deep into it.

Thinking about the danger they had just experienced, Gu Xixing thought about it again and again, and couldn't help but want to send a WeChat message to Tu Ran to ask several times, but he finally held back.

He couldn't leave a bad impression on her anymore, so he had to take things slowly.

The last time I gave away my mother's belongings, I was too hasty.

Tu Ran refused to accept it and returned it.

But fortunately, there were other things that needed his help, otherwise, he couldn't imagine how bad he would feel.

After Wu Yue made it clear that time, she completely lost face.

Even Principal Wu was too embarrassed to meet the students, but Gu Xixing had no complaints about the teacher.

Over the years, he has gotten to know his teacher better.

The teacher's reluctance to speak was definitely not out of selfishness, but must have been due to Tu Ran's strong request.

Therefore, Gu Xixing has no resentment towards the Wu family. Instead, it is his own father who is furious because the woman he likes is someone else's wife. Old man Gu is so angry that he has entered into a cold war with his son. They have not contacted or spoken for several days. Gu Xixing has not returned to his father's house much recently and has been living alone in a luxury apartment in the city center.

At this moment, the phone rang...

Gu Xixing: Hello?

Gu Huan: Brother.

Gu Xixing: Huanhuan, what’s the matter?

Gu Huan: Brother, tomorrow is New Year’s Eve. Will you come back to celebrate the New Year?

Gu Xixing said nothing.

Gu Huan cried: Brother, don’t be angry with Dad anymore. Dad hasn’t slept well these days. My mom said that he coughed badly. I think we are all family, and nothing should happen like this, right?

Gu Xixing: I will go back.

Gu Huan: Really, don’t lie to me?

Gu Xixing: Really, I’m not lying to you.

Gu Huan: Then I will wait for you at home and must come back.

Gu Xixing: Okay.

Gu Huan: Brother...

Gu Xixing: Is there anything else?

Although they were not born to the same mother, Gu Xixing loved his sister Gu Huan very much. After all, his sister was younger and had no bad intentions. She had always been surrounded by brothers since she was a child, and he had gotten used to it over the years.

Gu Huan: Brother, why do you like that fairy sister?

Gu Xixing remained silent again...

Yes, why do you like it?

I can't explain this feeling.

Even though it was the first time we met in the mall and she was almost pushed down the stairs, I still thought she was just a passerby.

Later, on the day when snow fell in Baiyun Temple, they met again. She was in a daze and almost slipped off a cliff. He rushed to save her, which left a deep impression on her.

Later, we met again and again...

She always has the same expression, neither happy nor sad, neither humble nor arrogant.

She didn't try to curry favor with him just because he was a young president, but kept a distance from him.

When did you fall in love?

He didn't know either, but he was sure that Tu Ran was the partner he had been looking for all his life.

Gu Xixing: Huanhuan, let’s not talk about this anymore. I have something else to do here.

Gu Huan: Brother, see you tomorrow.

Tianyi Pavilion Luxury Residence

After Tu Ran came back, he started busy watering the flowers and plants he raised.

Then I simply clean up, just like all housewives do.

She changed into her favorite little strawberry print nightgown and paced around the mansion, busying herself.

Xie Nancheng was standing on the balcony making a phone call, occasionally glancing at the petite figure in the living room.

I just feel that the world has become gentle since I don’t know when it started.

Subordinate: Boss, are you listening?

Xie Nancheng: Yeah.

Subordinate: It seems that someone from Chengtian Pharmaceutical is also keeping an eye on our matter. I wonder if they will take advantage of the opportunity to do something bad.

Xie Nancheng: I’m afraid of a stinky drug seller?

The boss is still Ruici and arrogant.

The subordinate said: "There's no problem with the police. These people have very bad backgrounds. They are all extremely vicious criminals. Although they are gone, they all have criminal records. Not a single one of them is clean. One of them has been to prison twice, both times for robbery."

Xie Nancheng sneered: He deserves to die.

Henchman: Exactly. The medical examiner also concluded that the death was caused by poisoning. However, the matter is kept secret and no news media will report it. The families of the criminals are unwilling to investigate. No one will ask what poison caused the death. We have also taken care of the medical examiner.

Xie Nancheng: Yeah.

Subordinate: Boss, now that we have found out, do you want us to fight back immediately?

Xie Nancheng: No, it would be so boring to fight back immediately. The opponent would know that he had failed and would be very scared. He might not be able to eat or sleep well. Let him be frightened all the time.

Subordinate: What if the other party runs away out of fear?

Xie Nancheng: Of course we can't let him leave Xiangcheng. I have to keep a close eye on him. If he wants to leave, I will send him to the police station immediately. Once he's in the police station, I will torture him slowly.

Subordinate: Although this matter was done by that person, the mastermind behind it is most likely...

Xie Nancheng: I don’t need you to analyze it for me, I’m not stupid.

Subordinate: Sorry, boss.

Xie Nancheng: That’s enough, let’s stop here. Tomorrow is Chinese New Year. Thank you to all the brothers who helped me with the investigation for your hard work. I’ll give each of you a red envelope of 100,000 yuan for the New Year. Go to Xu Xin to get it.

Subordinate: Thank you, boss.

Xie Nancheng: By the way, have you completed the investigation on my mother’s side?

Subordinate: We have investigated thoroughly, and there is no suspicious person. The only person who has close contact with the madam is Miss Zhou. But Miss Zhou has just returned to China, so she shouldn’t set up any scheme. Besides, the Zhou family and you have always kept out of each other’s way. The madam’s illness is indeed real, not fake. The hospital has conducted a detailed diagnosis.

Xie Nancheng: I understand.

After hanging up the phone, Xie Nancheng strode into the living room.

At this time, Tu Ran had just finished his work and was about to sit on the sofa to rest.

The boss was quick-witted and sat down directly on the position where Tu Ran was originally going to sit.

Tu Ran, defenselessly, sat directly on his thighs...

"Xie Nancheng, you scared me." Tu Ran looked back and was about to get up when he was hugged tightly by the big boss.

"Don't move, let me kiss you for a while."
