Chapter 423 Give Me a Chance

Night has fallen.

The streets in the early morning are so empty that they don’t feel like a city.

Gu Zhou drove on the return trip.

He took off the plaster.

Wang Yuanling looked at his hands turning the steering wheel skillfully and realized how badly he had been deceived.

This hand looks like there is nothing wrong with it!

There was a cunning look in her eyes, and she said deliberately: "Mr. Gu, since your hand is healed, then tomorrow morning, do I not have to prepare your breakfast and send it off for you?"

Gu Zhou glanced sideways, raised the corner of his lips and said, "Has our cooperative friendship become nothing?"

Wang Yuanling smiled politely, "I might be busy starting tomorrow, so I won't have much time to see Mr. Gu off."

Gu Zhou was at his ease: "Oh?" He chuckled: "What a coincidence. I might not be very busy starting tomorrow. I'll come and see Mr. Ling off."

Wang Yuanling: ...

Gu Zhou stared at her with interest. "After all, I've been bothering Mr. Ling all the time since I was injured. I really feel bad about it. So, let me just 'drop by' to give Mr. Ling a ride during this time when I'm not busy. It's also a way to repay Mr. Ling for taking care of me during this period."

Wang Yuanling smiled wryly: "Mr. Gu, you're welcome. We are partners."

Gu Zhou was calm and composed: "Even brothers have to settle accounts clearly, let alone partners. Only when there is give and take can there be healthy development."

He has a mouth that can turn fallacies into truth.

The rogue is finished.

Wang Yuanling couldn't argue and should have been angry, but he couldn't help but raise his lips.

Gu Zhou, who was completely focused on her, noticed it keenly.

He glanced sideways.

The dim light of the street lamp shone through the car window, casting a soft silhouette on her profile.

The faint curve of her lips caused by a smile had not yet disappeared, and her thick and long eyelashes blinked gently with the smile, like butterfly wings sweeping across the lake of his heart, stirring up a subtle and clear itch in his heart.

That smile seemed contagious.

It reached his mouth.

Thinking of the man who was taken away by the security guards under the command of Assistant Qin before being taken to the hospital by Gu Zhou.

Her eyes moved slightly, and she glanced sideways to test: "That man just now..."

He seemed to know what she was going to say.

Gu Zhou said casually, "After all, he has created value for the group, so it is inevitable that we will hold him accountable. However, the group will also help with his family affairs."

"Um……"

I don’t know how much damage that man caused to Gu’s company.

Seeing that she was hesitant to speak.

Gu Zhou curled his lips and reported casually: "Even if he didn't say it, Qin Zhu found out that he sold the secrets to my business rival - Magotan."

"Magotan... I've heard of this company." It is an old company that was established longer than Gu's and has always been the only one in the market.

Gu’s sudden rise marked the beginning of Magotan’s decline.

Since then, Magotan has always tried its best to compete with Gu, but it has failed more often than it has won.

And she had investigated those victories.

They are all businessmen, and they can see some clues. They always feel that it seems like Gu Zhou is deliberately letting the game go.

She lowered her eyelashes and thought, deliberating: "What are you going to do with the Magotan?"

Gu Zhou frowned and sneered: "No deal with it."

Wang Yuanling's eyes were suddenly filled with confusion: "What do you mean by not dealing with it?"

The curve of Gu Zhou's lips looked even more lazy under the reflection of light and shadow outside the window.

"Sometimes, competition is necessary for innovation and progress in the market. Being a leading company is both troublesome and dangerous. A tall tree attracts the wind. What do you think?"

Wang Yuanling suddenly realized.

She raised her eyes, and her gaze towards Gu Zhou was filled with complex emotions... scrutiny, understanding, and a hint of barely perceptible appreciation.

This person always appears cynical and nonchalant, but deep down he has a perfect sense of propriety and the ability to advance and retreat.

Under his deep gaze.

Wang Yuanling complimented him respectfully, "As expected of Mr. Gu, you handle things with ease."

He suddenly scoffed, his laughter tinged with self-mockery: "With ease? Not really."

He paused deliberately, his gaze fixed on her face, with a hint of inquiry and a vague sense of meaning. "There are times when I'm powerless, like..."

He deliberately dragged out the ending tone, successfully arousing her curiosity.

She couldn't help but raise her eyes, with a hint of inquiry, waiting to see what else he might "stumble" into.

Gu Zhou's smile deepened, a hint of seriousness etched in his playful expression. His deep eyes fixed on her, and he spoke word by word, "For example, when it comes to pursuing you, I'm very... powerless."

The moment the words fell, the car fell into a strange silence.

The low roar of the engine and the rustling sound of the tires rubbing against the road seemed to be infinitely amplified, and yet seemed to be isolated in another world.

The expression on Wang Yuanling's face froze instantly, and he was caught off guard by this ball.

As the car body moves.

The dim light outside the window flowed across her face, clearly reflecting the surprise and a hint of panic in her eyes.

"Mr. Gu, just concentrate on driving." She turned her head and looked out the window stiffly.

Her ears could clearly hear his low and hoarse laughter. The laughter was like a tiny hook, scratching her earlobes, making her feel the tips of her ears burning, almost burning.

The other end wanted to twist it directly out of the car window.

Seeing this, Gu Zhou's smile deepened, like ripples spreading out from a deep pool where a stone was thrown. His seriousness was evident in his joking tone: "Boss Ling, can you give me a chance?"

The cramped interior of the car was filled with invisible ambiguity.

Wang Yuanling could clearly feel his accelerated heartbeat and his gaze, which was extremely noticeable.

Her fingertips unconsciously tightened the skirt, and she took a deep breath, maintaining her composure. "I still hope to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Mr. Gu. We are both businessmen, and a win-win situation in business is what we all want to see, right?"

Rejected again.

Gu Zhou didn't show any sign of being discouraged.

A hint of smile flashed across his eyes.

He knew she was running away, and he also knew the principle of knowing when to quit.

Pushing her too hard will only make her build higher walls.

He followed her words, his tone returning to his usual lazy tone, but with a hint of barely perceptible indulgence: "Boss Ling's second half of the sentence is right, I agree."

Sensitive topic interruption.

The vehicle is moving slowly on the fast track.

Out of the corner of his eye, his fiery gaze finally shifted away.

Wang Yuanling slowly adjusted his mind.

When we finally arrived at the community parking lot.

Wang Yuanling glanced at the time displayed on the screen: it was already 1 a.m.

It’s really late.

She just got off the bus.

Sudden.

He caught something out of the corner of his eye and suddenly looked towards the corner.

But all I saw were neatly parked vehicles and a few large pillars.

And her car happened to be parked over there.

Besides, there is nothing.

She frowned slightly, she had clearly felt something passing by just now.

Is it her illusion?

"What are you looking at?" Gu Zhou's voice came, becoming even lazier as the night deepened.

Wang Yuanling turned around and met Gu Zhou's dark eyes filled with curiosity.

"Nothing," she said.

Maybe it really is too late.

I saw it wrong.

She thought nonchalantly.

"Go upstairs." Gu Zhou said.

"good."

She walked forward and entered the elevator hall side by side with him.

In the corner that was empty just now.

A man wearing a mask walked out slowly.
