Gu Liji was currently furious, so she tried her best to keep a low profile and avoid provoking him.

Following Gu Liji into the Ouqi Building, Cheng Qicai saw Gu Rongqi's former secretary, Li Gui, in the lobby.

Upon seeing them, Li Gui immediately came to greet them and led them to Gu Rongqi's office.

Upon entering, they saw Gu Rongqi looking down at documents.

"elder brother!"

"President Gu!"

The two shouted in unison.

This was Cheng Qicai's first time in Gu Rongqi's office, or rather, her first time entering Ou Qi's home.

Gu Rongqi's office is located on the 39th floor of the building. It has a huge floor-to-ceiling window that overlooks the city view. The spacious office uses black, white, gray and solid wood as a combination. The overall style looks simple and clear, but it does not lack a sense of design.

"Sit down!" Gu Rongqi pointed to the black leather sofa, then said to Li Gui next to him, "Make two cups of tea and pour a cup of warm water."

"Brother, tell me quickly, how's the investigation on that bastard going?" Gu Liji asked impatiently.

Gu Rongqi glanced at him indifferently, "Wait a moment, we'll talk when Li Gui comes back."

Li Gui placed the tea in front of each of them, and then sat down next to Cheng Qicai.

He opened the folder and began to recount his investigation of the man, "His name is..."

Gu Liji interrupted impatiently, "Forget about the basics, get straight to the point."

“According to our investigation, he didn’t just target you, Young Master Gu, at the bar…” Li Gui looked at Gu Liji’s increasingly dark face and cleverly skipped the whole topic. “He picks up corpses in various bars, both men and women, but he takes photos every time he commits a crime, and even if the victim regains consciousness in the middle, he will still threaten them.”

"Because there are photos, the person involved is afraid to report the crime, so he is still committing crimes."

"Damn, he's a pervert." The thought of being with someone like that made Gu Liji feel itchy all over, and he wished he could go back and take a hundred and eighty showers. "This kind of person has to go to jail."

Li Gui nodded, "Yes, Young Master Gu, we are actively contacting the victim and trying to collect more evidence to bring him to court."

Gu Liji then asked, "Based on the evidence against him, how many years could he be sentenced to?"

Li Gui replied: "Imprisonment for a term of not less than three years but not more than ten years."

“Castration should be reinstated as soon as these kinds of sentences are handed down,” Gu Liji said with some dissatisfaction. “We should fight for the maximum sentence for this pervert.”

Li Gui closed the folder. "We'll do our best, Young Master Gu."

Gu Liji was still not satisfied after listening to the whole thing, so he drank the tea on the table in one gulp to calm down his anger.

“Li Gui will handle the aftermath,” Gu Rongqi said. “Go to those places less often in the future. If it weren’t for Cheng Qicai…”

"Alright, brother, stop talking." Gu Liji couldn't bear to hear this anymore; just thinking about what that pervert had done to him made him feel nauseous.

He reiterated to Li Gui, "We must bring him to justice as soon as possible, otherwise I get so angry just thinking about that pervert."

Seeing Li Gui nod, he stood up and said to everyone, "Come on, I'll treat you to dinner."

Cheng Qicai was startled when Gu Liji invited her to dinner; the way he ran away on his own last time was still fresh in her mind.

With so many people this time, hopefully we won't be stood up, right?

The four of them went downstairs together, and Gu Liji chose the same place where she had treated Gu Rongqi to dinner last time.

This instantly brought back painful memories for her; her thermos, worth 239.9 yuan, is still missing.

She couldn't help but look at Gu Rongqi, wondering if he still remembered her thermos. She also thought he had probably been thrown away long ago.

Cheng Qicai looked away in disappointment.

Gu Liji handed her the menu and said, "Here you go, Qicai, you're the biggest contributor, see what dishes you'd like to order!"

Cheng Qicai didn't expect to be the first to order. Everyone present held a higher position than her, so it was definitely not her turn to be the first to order.

She put on a polite, official smile and said, "No need, Brother Gu, you guys order. I'm fine with anything."

Gu Rongqi said, "Since Liji is treating, let's go along with his idea."

Seeing that both bosses had said so, Li Gui also chimed in, "Yes, Miss Cheng, please order first."

Seeing that they had no objections, Gu Liji said, "Stop being so fussy, just order what I told you to order first."

Cheng Qicai thought to herself, "I clearly saw you looking at your brother's eyes, and you still have the nerve to say that to me."

Having been persuaded like that, she wisely accepted the menu and took it. Looking at the braised sea bass on the menu, she remembered that Xu had said this dish was good last time.

She asked them for their opinion, "How about flavored sea bass?"

Everyone nodded.

Cheng Qicai chose another one, "Want to add some Mapo Tofu too?"

Mapo tofu isn't very spicy, just numbing.

Gu Rongqi doesn't eat spicy food, so he should be able to accept it.

But this time, everyone disagreed. Gu Rongqi, the only one who objected, asked, "Is your voice better?"

Cheng Qicai was taken aback when he brought this up. She paused for a moment, then nodded. "Okay, it doesn't hurt this morning."

She knew in the morning that Gu Rongqi was making a fuss over nothing.

She ate all the remaining skewers when she got home last night, and was still perfectly fine. Luckily, she didn't throw them away.

She ordered two dishes and then stopped, giving them the choice of what to order.

As soon as Cheng Qicai handed it to Gu Liji, she received a pair of wary eyes.

She tried to ignore it, sighing inwardly. Gu Liji's strange defensiveness returned.

After the group finished their meal, Gu Rongqi and Li Gui had business to attend to at their company, so they chatted briefly as they parted ways at the entrance.

Gu Rongqi glanced at Cheng Qicai behind Gu Liji and said to Gu Liji with a veiled warning, "Don't go to bars anymore."

Gu Liji nodded and assured them, "I'm not going, I'm not going. I'll just go home after we break up."

Upon hearing Gu Liji's assurance, Gu Rongqi and Li Gui turned around and returned to the company.

As Gu Rongqi turned and left, his figure grew smaller and smaller, and his gaze toward Cheng Qicai grew stronger and stronger.

"What's going on between you and my brother? He even asked about your throat, but I didn't know anything about your throat."

Cheng Qicai rolled her eyes inwardly. Gu Liji's aggressive demeanor was such that it would be a waste of his talent if he didn't become a needle-giving nanny in the palace.

She was tired of explaining to him. "No, I choked on my food yesterday. Besides, my meeting with President Gu that time wasn't because of you..."

Gu Liji thought about it and felt that it seemed to be what Cheng Qicai said, but he still felt something was wrong, "But..."

"But what?! Even if I really do date President Gu, I should still thank you for being the matchmaker. If it weren't for your constant problems, I wouldn't have had so many opportunities to meet President Gu." Cheng Qicai interrupted him speechlessly, shifting the blame onto him.

"Okay, I was overthinking it. I'll take you home, alright?"

Gu Liji was convinced by Cheng Qicai's logic and completely forgot the question he had asked at the beginning.
