Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu with a more subtle look.
Lin Wu continued, "In fact, until now, I still don't know what your Gu family is going to do, and why they have a feud with the Huo family. If it were in the past, I might have found out, but now I'm not interested. Through the incident with the Situ family, I am sure that the Gu family and the Huo family are not friends, and that's enough."
Sometimes it is not necessarily a good thing to explore too much, not to mention that she only wants the Huo family to pay the price. In this regard, as long as she and the Gu family have common enemies and common interests, the cooperative relationship can be very stable.
The rest doesn’t matter.
Lin Wu said: "I don't know what your Gu family is going to do, so naturally I can't give you any specific benefits. But what I can guarantee is that after the matter is accomplished, you can contain the Huo family, and naturally, you will get what you want."
"I just want to vent my anger. I won't argue with you."
Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu with strange eyes and said, "Just to vent your anger? But is it worth it for Miss Lin to do this?"
“It’s worth it.”
"Ms. Lin doesn't look like someone who would be willing to suffer a loss, nor does she look like someone who would let others take advantage of her."
"One time, another time."
As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the private room became frozen and silent, as if one could even hear each other's heartbeats.
Gu Chengbai seemed to be thinking about something, rubbing the rim of the cup with his fingertips. After a long while, he said, "After saying so much, Miss Lin has not given me a good enough reason for me to agree to cooperate."
Lin Wu frowned: "What I said before, isn't it enough?"
Gu Chengbai pulled the corners of his lips and said with a half-smile: "I believe Miss Lin has noticed that the feud between my Gu family and the Huo family did not happen overnight. Over the years, my Gu family has its own way of doing things. Even if we were tricked by the Huo family this time, so what? It's not like my Gu family can't get back at us. It's just... the time has not come yet."
Lin Wu looked at him and said nothing.
Gu Chengbai continued, "If it can be done safely and securely, why should my Gu family take the risk of agreeing to Miss Lin? The Huo family has a strong foundation, how can I believe that Miss Lin can shake them? Why not, Miss Lin tell me about your plan first."
Lin Wu said calmly: "I can't tell you now. I will contact you when I need you."
"Look, I have even less reason to believe Miss Lin." Gu Chengbai said slowly, "If she doesn't even tell me the specific plan, how can I believe that Miss Lin can do what she said?"
Lin Wu looked at Gu Chengbai without saying a word.
Gu Chengbai raised his eyebrows slightly, and his meaning was very clear: Am I wrong?
Suddenly, Lin Wu said, "I don't need you."
Gu Chengbai: “Oh?”
"The most basic thing about cooperation is trust. Since Mr. Gu feels that trusting me, Lin Wu, is too risky, then let's stop here. Mr. Gu will just pretend that he has never met me today."
After saying that, Lin Wu stood up, pulled the chair away and walked towards the door.
Gu Chengbai looked at Lin Wu's thin and lonely back, feeling a strange mood that was hard to describe in words, and he felt a bit of pain.
This made him blurt out, "I promise."
Lin Wu paused.
Gu Chengbai came back to his senses and was surprised and confused for a few seconds.
He actually agreed to such a risky thing? ?
After a moment of silence, Gu Chengbai sighed resignedly, "You and I have a common enemy. If we work together, there will be many benefits. Let's put it this way, Miss Lin, give me a few days to think about it. Miss Lin is not someone who will let others lead her, and the Gu family certainly is not either. There are some requirements that Miss Lin needs to meet after the success, and the Gu family must consider it carefully."
He looked at Lin Wu's back and said slowly, "This shouldn't be too much, right?"
She turned her head and glanced at Gu Chengbai, saying, "I'll give you a week."
Gu Chengbai nodded: "Okay."
Lin Wu then walked away.
However, when she walked to the door and was about to go out, she heard Gu Chengbo suddenly say, "Your injuries are no less serious than that guy Bo Yuting. Logically, you should not be discharged from the hospital at this time. But not only did you leave the hospital, you are still running around. Aren't you afraid of being left with sequelae?"
Lin Wu paused as he was holding the door handle, and said calmly, "Then my situation is better than the unconscious Bo Yuting."
Gu Chengbai understood instantly, "You want to go to R Continent to find Bo Yuting?"
"This is not Mr. Gu's business."
After Lin Wu finished speaking, he opened the door of the private room and went out.
Gu Chengbai was still sitting in the distance, thinking about Lin Wu, and it took him a long time to come back to his senses.
Until the club manager knocked on the door and came in to serve the food, he was a little surprised to see that only Gu Chengbo was there.
Gu Chengbai regained his focus and wanted everyone to remove the dishes because he was leaving as well. But when he saw the dishes, he suddenly changed his mind and asked the manager and others to serve the dishes and leave.
Glancing at the dishes on the table, Gu Chengbai picked up his chopsticks and tasted each one.
With every dish he ate, Gu Chengbai felt more and more indescribably dazed.
In their Gu family, only Chi Yangzhi prefers sweet and sour taste and has many dietary restrictions.
He, Shiqing, his father, and his sister all had no dietary restrictions and ate everything, but their tastes tended to be heavier, preferring oily and spicy dishes.
But usually, in order to cater to his mother's preferences, I basically eat according to his taste.
While eating the dishes ordered by Lin Wu, Gu Chengbai felt that if his mother were here, she would definitely like these dishes, but he, Shiqing, his sister and his father would not like them, and would only eat a little out of politeness and upbringing.
"How could there be someone who not only looks like me, has similar tastes, and has similar birth information, but also..."
Gu Chengbai's suspicions grew stronger and stronger. Thinking of some things he had secretly investigated before, he suddenly had an idea.
He took out his cell phone, found his brother Gu Shiqing's number and dialed it.
The phone rang only a few times before it was connected, and a low, warm male voice came through.
"Brother, what's wrong?"
Gu Chengbai said very bluntly: "I suspect that my sister, who was born with difficulty in giving birth, may not be dead."
There was an instant silence on the other end of the phone, only a stagnant breath.
"...Brother, this is not a joke." Gu Shiqing said slowly, "My younger sister's matter has always been a knot in my mother's heart. Mom said that she confirmed with her own eyes that my younger sister was indeed... before she left the hospital."
Gu Chengbai said, "You are abroad now, so you don't know what happened in Beijing. Recently, a girl appeared. She looks very similar to Mom, and her tastes are the same. She is also from the North City and her birthday is August 3. There are so many coincidences. If I say that she has nothing to do with Mom, do you believe it?"
Gu Shiqing's voice suddenly became serious: "What does Dad mean?"
Gu Chengbai said, "You know, Dad cares about Mom and believes in what she says. How could he possibly think that my little sister might be alive? Besides, Mom got seriously ill because of my little sister and she almost died. Dad was scared that time and didn't dare to mention my little sister. Now, Dad just sometimes wonders that the girl looks like Mom and he likes her very much. He hasn't thought about anything else."
Gu Shiqing said: "Then find an opportunity to do a DNA test."
