Gu Chu didn't want to tell Jiang Jinyu everything. After thinking for a moment, she said succinctly, "Let me put it this way: if you do this business, a murder will soon occur at a school because of your company's learning machines. After the murder, many parents will complain to the education bureau, the director of the education bureau will be suspended from his duties and investigated, and eventually go to jail for embezzlement. Jiang's will also be implicated in this matter, and its reputation will naturally not be good."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinyu hesitated: "How can I be sure you're telling the truth?"

Gu Chu looked at him confidently: "As long as you don't go into this business, we can wait and see!"

Jiang Jinyu tapped his fingers lightly on his thigh, his expression serious as he clearly pondered something. After a while, he said, "The Qi family sold the land to Sakata Ichino, but nothing has happened yet."

Gu Chu sneered: "Heh! The time isn't up yet."

Seeing the confident gleam in Gu Chu's eyes, Jiang Jinyu was very curious as to why this woman was always so confident, as if everything was under her control.

He asked, "How do you know all this?"

Gu Chu's gaze fell on the photo frame in front of Jiang Jinyu's desk. She got up and walked over, a half-smile on her face, and said, "Would you believe me if I said I have precognitive abilities?"

As she spoke, she reached out and picked up the photo frame to look at it.

In her past life, she saw Jiang Jinyu contemplating suicide. In her desperation, her obsession shattered the photo frame, and it was because Jiang Jinyu saw the person in the photo that his fighting spirit was rekindled.

She remembered Jiang Jinyu calling out "Mom" to the person in the photo.

She asked, "Is this your mother?"

Seeing Gu Chu pick up the photo frame, Jiang Jinyu hurriedly got up and went over, sternly rebuking her: "Put it down!"

Gu Chu was startled by his cold voice and almost broke the photo frame again.

She put down the photo frame, turned around, and glared at Jiang Jinyu with dissatisfaction: "Why are you so fierce? You were just saying you wanted to keep our marriage a secret, but I can't even touch a picture of my mother-in-law?"

Jiang Jinyu then realized he had been too impulsive, and his voice softened slightly: "You agreed?"

Gu Chu glanced at him sideways and said irritably, "No, it was just an example."

Jiang Jinyu moved closer to Gu Chu, taking Gu Chu's claim of having 'precognitive abilities' as a joke. His deep voice rang out: "I want to hear the truth."

He wanted to know why Gu Chu knew all this and could accurately predict how things would unfold, especially the confident and composed aura she exuded.

Like a superior who overlooks the whole situation, he investigated Gu Chu and found that she was just an ordinary woman, the only difference being that she was an adopted daughter of the Gu family.

So how did she know about these things that happened without warning?

Gu Chu naturally wouldn't tell him the truth, only saying, "Everyone has their own secrets, and our relationship hasn't reached the point where I can tell you my secrets without reservation."

Seeing that she wouldn't say anything, Jiang Jinyu didn't press her further, because he knew it would be pointless to ask.

"Okay, I'll trust you one more time. But if things don't turn out the way you said they would, I won't let you off the hook!"

Faced with Jiang Jinyu's threat, Gu Chu was unfazed. She raised an eyebrow and curled her lips: "You'll be glad I stopped you then."

As if she had thought of something, she continued, "By the way, since you gave the opportunity to cooperate with the islanders to the Qi family, you'd better keep a close eye on it. The day the 'China-Island Friendship Park' is completed will be the day to verify whether what I said is true or not. As for the smart learning machine, we'll have the results in half a month."

Of course, instead of waiting for the 'Hwado Friendship Park' issue, we can first look forward to the outcome of this matter.

Jiang Jinyu lowered his head and whispered in Gu Chu's ear, "Gu Chu, the mystery about you is very attractive to me."

The man's warm breath brushed against Gu Chu's cheek, and a faint scent of pine wafted over, making Gu Chu's heart flutter.

She looked up and, upon meeting Jiang Jinyu's deep, icy eyes, immediately snapped back to reality and instinctively took two steps back.

She smiled radiantly, but her eyes flashed with a sharp light: "President Jiang, curiosity killed the cat. You'd better be a 'good boy' in front of me. Listen to my advice and you'll make a fortune."

Jiang Jinyu stepped forward, staring intently at Gu Chu: "Why are you backing away? Are you afraid of me?"

Gu Chu stepped back again: "It's not that I'm afraid, it's that I don't want to."

Jiang Jinyu pressed on: "What do you mean you don't want to? You don't want me to take advantage of you, but Miss Gu, what should I do if I suddenly really want to sleep with you?"

As he spoke, he got very close to Gu Chu, close enough that he could kiss her forehead if he lowered his head.

Gu Chu was furious and coldly stopped him: "President Jiang! This makes me think you have no class. If you want our business to be long-term and not a one-off deal, please watch your words and actions!"

Seeing that Gu Chu was really angry, Jiang Jinyu took a step back and distanced himself from her.

"Sorry, I was just curious why Miss Gu was so wary of me. Okay, I won't joke anymore." Jiang Jinyu turned around and walked to his desk to sit down.

Gu Chu looked at him coldly, her tone frosty: "A joke? So-called jokes are three parts truth and seven parts falsehood. President Jiang, remember to have someone bring your bodyguards to see me in three days."

Gu Chu turned to leave as she spoke.

Jiang Jinyu hurriedly called out to her, "Gu Chu."

Gu Chu stopped in her tracks but did not turn around.

Jiang Jinyu stood up and looked at her back: "I also have something I'd like to ask you for help with."

Gu Chu then turned around, her attitude cold: "What is it?"

Jiang Jinyu said, "Tomorrow, I'll have Su Wan come with me to meet someone."

Gu Chu refused without hesitation: "I only talk about deals."

Jiang Jinyu said, "I will personally bring bodyguards to assist you."
