Chapter 151 The Beauty Trap

"Oh, I heard you've found someone new? Why didn't you consider me?"

As soon as Zhou Ran stepped into the office, he heard Gu Tingxiao ask him a sarcastic question.

Zhou Ran walked to the sofa and sat down.

The assistant brought over the prepared juice and also thoughtfully offered some snacks.

"Your treatment is better than what I, the real boss, receive."

"Are you jealous? You like him?"

"puff!"

Gu Tingxiao spat out a mouthful of coffee.

What kind of outrageous and predatory language is this?

He was met with an awkward and terrified expression from his assistant.

Gu Tingxiao felt a chill and waved his hand to tell his assistant to get lost and stop getting in his way.

The assistant left quickly, closing the door behind him.

Their CEO is great in every way, except he's a womanizer.

He needs to be careful, lest he actually engage in some kind of workplace shady dealings.

Would it kill you to stop bullying me just once?

"I can't help it, I'm a natural person who loves justice and peace, and I hate scumbags the most!"

Zhou Ran showed Gu Tingxiao absolutely no respect.

Gu Tingxiao was also at a loss for words in front of Zhou Ran. He touched his nose and changed his tone.

"How come you have time to come here? Aren't you going to keep your amnesiac little husband company?"

The Xia family kept the fact that Xia Chenggan had amnesia when he woke up a secret.

But as the saying goes, there are no secrets that stay hidden forever.

In addition, the Gu family and the Xia family have a good relationship.

Gu Tingxiao learned about Xia Chenggan's amnesia immediately.

I was really curious at the time about how Zhou Ran would handle this.

Given Zhou Ran's personality, she would never compromise herself.

Xia Chenggan is in for a beating.

Gu Tingxiao secretly waited to see the show.

Who knew things would turn out so calmly?

Zhou Ran surprisingly didn't make a move.

"I will pass on your message, and I believe Xia Chenggan will like this title very much."

"Hey, just kidding, stop picking your eyes, we're still friends!"

Zhou Ran looked at him with disdain.

"Who are your friends?"

Gu Tingxiao is such a jerk; he gets scolded like this and doesn't get angry at all.

He apologized to Zhou Ran in a very polite tone and begged for forgiveness.

"Yes, yes, we're not friends. You're my living ancestor. Little ancestor, I was wrong. Please forgive me this time."

"Hmm, your attitude is good, I'll let you off this time."

Gu Tingxiao was somewhat shocked to hear this.

"You don't need to talk to me about something, do you? Otherwise, why are you being so easy to talk to?"

Zhou Ran has a bad temper; if you don't bully him, you'll forgive him.

He didn't believe a word of it, since there was no ulterior motive.

"You still have some brains; you're not completely stupid."

Zhou Ran nodded, satisfied with Gu Tingxiao's tact.

"Alright, tell me, what do you want me to do?"

"Help me investigate two people; here's the information."

Zhou Ran didn't waste any words and sent the message.

"That simple? You don't need your own people to investigate? You don't even need the Xia family to investigate. Isn't it a piece of cake?"

The Xia family is the richest family in the world, so investigating two people is a piece of cake for them.

We still need his help.

Besides, as far as Gu Tingxiao knew,

Zhou Ran has a group of ruthless people under her command.

Let them investigate.

Unless there are other concerns.

"You suspect there's a mole?"

This is the most reliable guess.

The interplay of multiple sources of information allows for comparison and reveals the differences.

This method of finding the mole is the most direct.

Zhou Ran smiled.

"Everyone says that President Gu is very smart."

"Why did you ask me to investigate? Don't tell me you trust me, that's just nonsense."

Gu Tingxiao was a smart man. Since guessing would be too much trouble, he chose to ask directly.

"Of course not, what is there to believe in a piece of trash like you?"

Zhou Ran's words were full of disdain, but Gu Tingxiao felt somewhat relieved and put aside his suspicions.

If we really want to use him, he's not qualified at all.

If Zhou Ran says she believes him, then he should seriously consider whether Zhou Ran is about to betray him.

Zhou Ran continued.

“I have their basic information. What I need you to look up is gossip, whether it’s unfounded rumors, gossip, or tabloid news. I need all the gossip about them. You’re very good at that, aren’t you!”

"Yes, don't worry, I'm a professional at this."

Gu Tingxiao thumped his chest loudly.

If we're talking about normal information, it would probably take some effort to find it.

If it's gossip or rumors, no one is easier to investigate than Gu Tingxiao.

The entertainment industry is a melting pot; news travels fast, and many secrets are no longer secrets.

Zhou Ran valued this point, which is why she came to find Gu Tingxiao.

Seeing that Gu Tingxiao had agreed, she prepared to leave.

"Why did you leave so quickly? Aren't you going to stay and chase after your idol?"

Having learned from the previous experience, Gu Tingxiao gave him special instructions.

Once Zhou Ran, this living ancestor, arrives, notify him immediately.

So Gu Tingxiao knew when Zhou Ran was at the door.

Zhou Ran's assistant reported on her subsequent actions immediately.

Is Zhou Ran a fan of celebrities?

Gu Tingxiao didn't believe it.

"Go after them. I'll go down and check on them later."

"You suspect Guan Yi?"

Only this reason would make Zhou Ran go to the trouble of feigning politeness with others.

"Hmm, I'm suspicious. How come he just happened to appear when I was there, and even greeted me first?"

"The big stars you cultivate are always surrounded by fans, with their heads on their foreheads. They wouldn't be kind enough to help a lost little fan."

Zhou Ran's smile was meaningful.

He became suspicious the moment Guan Yi appeared.

He saw Guan Yi's car following his car from outside the gate.

I just don't know who sent this idiot?

What is the purpose?

"Would you like me to ask around for you?"

Gu Tingxiao's so-called help, of course, meant arresting him and threatening him to reveal his secrets.

This kind of allowing purposeful approach

It will only embolden bad people.

Let them get hurt.

Zhou Ran couldn't help but look Gu Tingxiao up and down.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at some rare and exotic animal.

Gu Tingxiao felt a chill run down his spine.

"Covering his chest," Gu Tingxiao asked in return.

Why are you looking at me like that? What did I say wrong?

"No, you're right. When dealing with people who have ulterior motives, we should cut the Gordian knot and solve the problem at its root. We shouldn't let it go unchecked."

"If you're right, why are you looking at me like that?"

Zhou Ran gave a half-smile.

"Do I need to remind you how you stupidly let people wear green hats on your head?"

Gu Tingxiao blushed.

So awkward, I just wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

They still stubbornly defended themselves.

"I don't know what happened. I just had a brain fart and didn't think of that."

He still clearly remembered that Zhou Ran had specifically reminded him that Zhong Xiaoxue had a problem.

Gu Tingxiao initially intended to arrest the person and then coerce or entice them.

The person in charge behind the scenes was identified through interrogation.

But as soon as this idea popped into my head, it was suppressed by another idea.

He had a sudden brain fart.

The idea was to transfer her to my side, hoping to expose her wrongdoing and then trace the clues to find her.

After meeting the person.

My mind felt like it had been struck by lightning.

They fell in love instantly.

He was hopelessly in love with her.

Even knowing she was a spy.

Neither of them wants to let go.

Looking back now, it was like I was under a spell.

He insisted on being with Zhong Xiaoxue no matter what.

Even if a lot of evidence is found, they pretend not to see it.

She even wants to get engaged; she's insane.

Zhou Ran stood on the sofa and patted Gu Tingxiao on the shoulder.

"I know you're stupid, so try not to do stupid things in the future!"

Gu Tingxiao raised his head slightly and looked at Zhou Ran's face.

A sentence suddenly came out.

"Hey, Young Master Zhou, you've grown taller! You've grown two centimeters! That's great!"

Then, in a fit of rage, Young Master Zhou slapped him across the face.

The sound of his mouth was so loud that it could be heard outside the office.

Everyone looked toward the office, wondering what had happened inside.

The assistant stood up and coughed twice.

"Aren't you all busy? Get to work!"

Everyone then went back to work, but the company group chat exploded.

[Breaking news! Did Mr. Gu get beaten up?]

A slapping sound came from inside the office.

Maybe he was swatting mosquitoes.

Why are you swatting a mosquito so hard? It looks more like a cockroach to me.

Am I the only one who suspects that the person who hit him was that scumbag CEO Gu?

No, you're not the only one.

The group chat gets 99+ messages in no time.

In the office.

Gu Tingxiao covered his face and sat on the sofa, feeling utterly hopeless.

It's definitely swollen.

How can he go out and face people?!

Gu Tingxiao stole a glance at Zhou Ran.

"What are you looking at? What if I hit you? Who told you to say I'm short?"

"No, I just said you've grown taller!"

It's wrong to praise him, and you even hit him!

Zhou Ran is domineering and unreasonable.

Zhou Ran was in the wrong but still spoke with great arrogance.

"What's the difference? Just because you're tall doesn't mean you can rub salt into other people's wounds!"

Zhou Ran secretly resented the world's consciousness for giving him such a broken body.

In his past life, he was a man who was 1.9 meters tall with eight-pack abs and double abs.

Now I'm a cute little guy, about 1.6 meters tall.

The key issue is that no matter how much I exercise, I can't build muscle.

The worst thing is that eating too much makes you fat but not tall.

What a painful torment this is.

Unfortunately, none of the people around him were short.

One was handsome and tall.

Even Zhou Chao, that law-abiding and domineering CEO, is the same age as him.

They are all 1.8 meters tall.

How is he supposed to live when he's only 1.6 meters tall?

That despicable Gu Tingxiao even rubbed salt into the wound by saying he was short.

This is simply intolerable!

If we don't hit him, who will we hit?

He met Zhou Ran's angry gaze.

Gu Tingxiao obediently admitted defeat.

"I was wrong, I will never do it again."

"Hmph! That's more like it. I'll forgive you this time, but if there's a next time, I'll beat you so badly your own mother won't recognize you!"

Zhou Ran raised her fist, and Gu Tingxiao shrank his neck in response.

"knew."

Seeing that he was so pragmatic, Zhou Ran let go of tormenting Gu Tingxiao and waved goodbye.

Gu Tingxiao watched Zhou Ran leave.

He quickly took out his phone and snapped a selfie.

Whether it looks good or not is not important; what matters is that the slap marks on the face must be clearly visible.

After taking the photo, he posted it on his WeChat Moments, visible only to Xia Chenggan.

The caption reads: "My little darling's loving education!"

He put down his phone after sending the message and gestured to his assistant to apply the medicine.

Seeing his actions, the assistant couldn't help but shake his head.

"President, if you like someone, go for it. Secretly pursuing someone isn't for you."

Gu Tingxiao glanced at him.

The assistant immediately shut up and applied the medicine, telling their boss to be stubborn and prefer people to come secretly.

With so many good opportunities, it's the perfect time to seize the moment and win the heart of the beauty.

Gu Tingxiao knew exactly what his assistant was thinking.

Doesn't he want to take advantage of the situation?

He wanted it more than anyone else.

Ever since Zhou Ran rescued them, he has been thinking about it every single moment.
