Chapter 120 Lu Jingxiao Unleashes His Ultimate Skill at Close Range
But Gu Hanchi seemed not to hear him, looking at Luo Zhiwei with a blank expression and a contemptuous voice: "Miss Luo, you lost your things, how can you come to me? I don't even know you, isn't it a bit inappropriate to do this?"
Luo Zhiwei's reaction was made in a moment of panic. She was just guessing based on Gu Yulin and Lu Jingxiao's line of thought, but she had no evidence.
Without evidence, all accusations are fabrications and frame-ups.
Luo Zhiwei was speechless after being rebuked, and she didn't know what to say.
Fortunately, Lu Jingxiao stood in front of her, protecting her behind him. He was telling everyone that Luo Zhiwei was his, and no one could hurt her.
"Uncle Gu, let's talk this out. I suspect you, so I've come to question you."
Gu Hancheng's face darkened instantly. No one had ever come to the Gu family to cause trouble before, but Lu Jingxiao did. This put his younger brother, who had always felt guilty, in a difficult position.
He looked at Lu Jingxiao with displeasure and said coldly, "Don't go too far. Even if you want to suspect my brother, you have to provide evidence."
"Okay, then let's get the evidence."
Lu Jingxiao wouldn't make a decision without preparation. If he just waited for the president of the appraisal agency to investigate, the jade pendant would probably be smashed.
The moment the suspect was identified, everyone in his company's information department was mobilized to begin the investigation without any delay.
Lu Jingxiao still values the order of arrival: "Although I don't know why Uncle Gu can accurately say that the report is a jade appraisal result when he clearly knows nothing."
"However, it doesn't matter." Lu Jingxiao turned his gaze to Gu Hancheng, his voice devoid of warmth, chillingly cold: "Uncle Gu, the result you saw yesterday was a mismatch, right?"
Although Gu Hancheng didn't want to admit it, at this moment, he could only nod.
"So what if it is?"
Lu Jingxiao curled his lips in a mocking smile and blinked contemptuously, as if to say, "When Uncle Gu returned, the eldest brother sensed that there would be a problem. So, he immediately had the appraisal agency issue a new report. It was not sent to the Gu family or the Gu Corporation, but to me."
He took the file from the bodyguard behind him, and without even glancing at it, handed it directly to Gu Hancheng: "Uncle Gu, would you like to see the results of this report?"
Gu Hancheng hesitated. He suddenly didn't want to open it anymore; he had already learned the answer from Gu Yulin yesterday.
That was enough for him; he had no regrets.
So the truth is no longer important.
But if he opens this report now, it will be different from the one Gu Yulin has.
One of these must be fake.
At that time...
Gu Hanchi's eyes suddenly turned terrifying, filled with a chilling coldness, and beneath his unpredictable gaze, boundless hatred began to grow.
Gu Yulin truly lived up to his reputation as the heir carefully cultivated by the Gu family; his mind was remarkably sharp. Even at this critical moment, he was able to think calmly and defend against him with unerring accuracy.
That's really great!
Gu Hancheng shook his head with a complicated expression: "There's no need to look, I already know the answer."
"Now that we know the answer, Uncle Gu, what should you do about the person who reported the switch? And what about my Weiwei's jade pendant?"
There is almost no doubt that Lu Jingxiao is being aggressive; what he wants is to find the jade pendant for Weiwei, and no one can stop him.
Gu Hanchi's smile was somewhat unfathomable, even tinged with self-mockery: "So, this family no longer has a place for me. I only went out for a short time, and when I came back, everyone in this family suspected me, and even outsiders came to interrogate me."
Upon hearing this, Gu Hancheng softened a little.
“Uncle Gu, there’s really no need to pretend. People won’t bother to call you out once or twice, but it gets boring if you keep pretending for too long.”
Lu Jingxiao's smile vanished, and he resumed his aloof and cold demeanor in front of his elders: "Since I said I have evidence, then I definitely have evidence. Uncle Gu, there's no need to rush to clear yourself. It's really pointless."
Gu Yulin, standing to the side, was sweating bullets for Lu Jingxiao. He had no evidence and had originally planned to come back and question him himself, but he never expected things to turn out like this.
He had no choice; he was almost ready to give up and let himself be ridiculed.
But now, Lu Jingxiao claims he has evidence?
He wanted to see what this guy had been doing behind the scenes.
Gu Hancheng frowned unhappily, clearly dissatisfied with Lu Jingxiao's attitude: "Lu Jingxiao, no matter what, you still have to call my brother 'Third Uncle.' How can you be so disrespectful to him like this?"
“If you saw what he did, you wouldn’t say that.”
A hint of anger flashed across Lu Jingxiao's face. He glared at Gu Hanchi with resentment and spoke to the bodyguards behind him: "Bring him up here so that Third Uncle can take a good look at him."
Wei Mingfeng and several bodyguards brazenly escorted the person in.
"Uncle Gu, you should recognize this person, right?"
Gu Hanchi looked at Lu Jingxiao with feigned composure, pretending not to know anything, and asked softly, "Should I look familiar?"
His eyes held a chilling sense of death, as if he had seen through everything: "If you think I look familiar, then I am."
It didn't matter to him.
Luo Zhiwei snapped out of her daze and stared at the man being brought in for a long time before she realized what was happening. She excitedly pointed at the man and exclaimed, "This... isn't this the person from the surveillance footage?"
Lu Jingxiao gently rubbed Luo Zhiwei's head: "Yes, it's him." He said softly, "I didn't plan to wait for the head of the organization to investigate, that would take too long... I'll have my people investigate, the timing is just right."
Since he said so, it must be true. Luo Zhiwei was just about to ask him about it when...
Gu Youran delivered a flying kick that sent the man sprawling to the ground, followed by two punches to his face. Even Bai Yuxin didn't let him off the hook, kicking the man hard twice.
Lu Jingxiao: "..."
With such a violent and aesthetically pleasing young lady, can the second son handle her?
Li Huaijin: "......"
If you hit him, you can't get angry at me anymore.
"You bastard, you stole my Weiwei's jade pendant! You'd better hand it over!"
Gu Youran grabbed her bag and went downstairs.
Lu Jingxiao had no choice but to speak up and stop her: "Miss Gu, why don't you wait a while?"
Gu Youran then realized something was wrong; this didn't seem to be her territory. She stood up awkwardly: "Sorry, it was just a quick sip... Mr. Lu, please continue."
Bai Yuxin, the little lamb, followed behind Gu Youran, standing side by side in a row.
Wei Mingfeng pulled the man up with a look of disgust and dragged him to Gu Hanchi's side. Lu Jingxiao stepped forward slowly, suddenly grabbed the man's hair fiercely, lowered his body, and put half of his head in front of Gu Hanchi: "Third Uncle Gu, take another look. Do you recognize him?"
Gu Hanchi showed no fear and calmly shook his head: "I don't know him."
You have no evidence, so what can you do to me?
Lu Jingxiao blinked viciously, his dark eyes surging: "It doesn't matter if you don't know me, I still have your chat logs. I hope Uncle Gu can still find an excuse for himself."
