Chen Nian'an glanced and saw that Gu Boyan's expression had returned to normal. He breathed a sigh of relief and took out his cell phone to check the messages.
"Come in," Gu Boyan said calmly.
The person who came in was Cheng Shi. He subconsciously glanced at Chen Nian'an, who was sitting on the sofa with his head down at his phone. He walked a few steps to the desk and handed the folder to him with both hands. "Mr. Gu, Gu Qin has sorted out the work content of the past two days. Take a look..."
Gu Boyan took it and flipped through it casually, then said calmly, "Print a few more copies and send them to the Gu residence to ensure that everyone in the Gu family receives them."
"Yes." Cheng Shi in front of him nodded and glanced at Chen Nian'an who was sitting not far away. It seemed that he had something to say but was not able to say it because of her presence.
"Hmm?" Gu Boyan closed the folder and saw that he hadn't moved. He asked, "Anything else?"
Cheng Shi hesitated for a few seconds, then walked a little closer and said in a low voice so only the two of them could hear: "Mr. Gu, Liu Xuanxuan and Zhou Yan have found some clues. They..."
Before Cheng Shi could finish, Gu Boyan raised his hand to stop him. His eyes were gloomy, and his gaze fell on Chen Nian'an, who was lowering her head and sending a message, unaware of the situation. He lingered for a few seconds before whispering, "Don't let my wife know."
"I just want to resolve this matter completely and give Nian'an an answer. She doesn't need to get involved. It's too dangerous."
Chen Nian'an has experienced enough pain, and Gu Boyan doesn't want her to get involved.
Looking down at the WeChat chat box, Chen Nian'an, who was sending a message to Mu Xin, paused slightly. She didn't look up. After a long while, her fingers continued to tap the screen, gossiping about what was going on between Mu Xin and that idiot Xiao Yan.
"Yes," Cheng Shi could only respond, then walked out and sent the electronic file about Liu Xuanxuan's clues to Gu Boyan.
A few minutes after the door was closed, the computer dinged.
Gu Boyan held the mouse with his right hand and lightly pressed the index finger to open the email.
The first thing that caught my eye was a few photos taken at obvious angles, including those taken at a cafe, at the entrance of a bar, in a private room corridor, and at a hotel corner...
There were about ten photos scattered around, and besides Liu Xuanxuan and Zhou Yan, the other person in the photos was Gu Qin.
The three of them went in and out together. Gu Qin always had a condescending smile on his face. Zhou Yan bent down to light a cigarette, and Liu Xuanxuan smiled at the side. It was not difficult to see that the two of them were obviously inferior to Gu Qin in status.
Since Gu Qin returned to China, the two have been in contact with Gu Qin.
Gu Boyan was a little surprised. Gu Qin had been in the UK for the past five years and had never come back once. How could he have been in touch with Zhou Yan and Liu Xuanxuan?
Could he be the one behind the downfall of the Zhong family?
Gu Boyan's face suddenly changed, and the blood in his body turned cold. The coldness climbed up his spine along his tailbone, causing his fingers pressing on the mouse to shrink.
[So, strictly speaking, it was me who harmed Chen Nian'an?]
Mu Xin didn't reply to the message. The chat box still displayed the message she had sent before. Her finger was still on the screen, but Chen Nian'an's eyes were not focused on the phone. He glanced at the desk casually.
The blue light from the computer screen reflected Gu Boyan's cold and solemn face. His eyebrows were unconsciously twisted, and his black pupils were staring at the computer screen without blinking.
What is he looking at?
Why do you say he harmed me?
Chen Nian'an kept her eyes downcast, and while she was pondering, her fingers were not paying attention to the chat box keyboard. Some garbled characters were sent out, but she was completely unaware.
Gu Qin and I have a personal grudge. He wanted to kill me five years ago. If he can't get revenge on me, then it's not impossible for him to take revenge on Chen Nian'an.
No, that's not right.
Gu Boyan stared at the photo of the three people on the computer, and some unusual clues emerged. If Gu Qin was just looking for revenge, why would he go to Chen Nian'an?
You have to know that on the eve of the Zhong family's bankruptcy, he and Chen Nian'an almost broke off their relationship. This couldn't be the reason.
Not to mention, the Dingli Zhong family suddenly underwent drastic changes, the core technology was leaked, most of the funds were released, partners withdrew their investment, and the chairman Chen Nian'an's mother Zhong Yuzhen was in a car accident. All the conditions are indispensable.
All coincidences seem like strange conspiracies, and behind the blatant actions are so well hidden that no trace can be found.
Does Gu Qin have such ability?
Obviously not. Gu Boyan tapped the mouse with his fingers, his eyes like a wild wolf in the jungle fixed on the photo of Gu Qin who was smiling smugly.
Like a tangled mess of threads, all the details and fragments floated in his mind. The irrelevant corners suddenly faded away, revealing the barely visible threads, which were quickly and accurately pulled out by Gu Boyan.
[Liu Xuanxuan, Zhou Yan, Gu Qin, what interests must bind these three together? Status, power, money, or life?]
[Complete the bankruptcy of the Zhong family. Assuming these three people are involved, what else is missing?]
Gu Boyan unraveled the mystery, his sharp eyes almost penetrating the screen to peek into the dark hearts of several people. The outline of the story from a year ago began to vaguely emerge.
[All that's missing is a leaker, and someone incredibly powerful who can quickly monopolize the Zhong family's cash flow chain, catching the Zhong family both inside and out and causing it to collapse unexpectedly.]
The person who leaked the information must be a core member of the Zhong family, who had access to confidential data and was able to steal the information quietly without raising any suspicion.
Who is this person?
Chen Nian'an's eyes, which had been pretending to stare at the screen, had already lifted up uncontrollably. Unknowingly, the phone had slipped from his palm and sunk into the sofa. His heart felt like it was being tightly grasped by a large hand, and the oxygen around him seemed to be deprived. Even Chen Nian'an's breathing began to quicken.
The already white wall-like face looked even paler after losing all its color.
Whatever she could think of, Gu Boyan could naturally think of as well.
The Zhong family is bidding for a product that has just finished the research and development stage and has not yet been launched on the market. Only Chairman Zhong Yuzhen knows the true and complete core technology of the entire chain.
Apart from the person next to him, who else would have the ability and opportunity to leak the core technology without leaking any information? Until the century-old Zhong family collapsed, the person was not found out and it became a mystery.
Gu Boyan tapped the mouse with his bony fingers, and suddenly there was a final crisp sound, and his fingertips stopped on the black silk mouse scroll wheel.
A suspicious name is about to pop up in my mind.
【List】
"Gu Boyan!" A quick and nervous shout suddenly interrupted his thoughts. Chen Nian'an stood up suddenly. Gu Boyan turned his head and when he saw her condition clearly, his face froze and he stood up and walked over quickly.
Chen Nian'an stood in front of the sofa with an extremely pale face, the blood color on her red lips faded, her fingers hung at the edge of her long skirt, and she curled up unconsciously, tightly clutching the fabric of the cotton and linen skirt on the side.
Her chest was still rising and falling slightly, as if she had just woken up from a nightmare. Her narrow and long eyes stared at his eyes, as if she was deeply afraid of something.
"What’s wrong with you?"
