Just like herself, she is about to leave this place.
She couldn't help but think of Xu Zhimo's poem.
I leave as quietly as I came.
I waved my sleeves, bidding farewell to the clouds on the horizon.
She had never known the pain of separation from a lover before, but now the feeling was truly indescribable. Even if he didn't love her.
The thought that she would never see Gu Yuan again for the rest of her life made her heart ache so much that she could hardly breathe.
Gu Yuan kissed her forehead.
They're gone.
The wind carried no trace of his presence, so why should she cling to him?
That beautiful memory will soon be buried deep in my heart with this separation.
——
Gu Yuan's eyes stung a little, but he had finally seen her off. Even if there were any major storms to come, at least he wouldn't have any worries.
Gu Yuan drove back to Mingheng, where things were clearly in chaos.
Bai Xin rushed over to his side and said, "Most of the shareholders are now impeaching you. Things are more serious than we thought."
Gu Yuan's eyes were deep and unfathomable: "Convene a shareholders' meeting immediately."
The meeting lasted for two hours, and Gu Yuan was exhausted when he came out.
Bai Xin, unusually considerate, poured him a glass of water and handed it to him: "How are you?"
Gu Yuan, his face grim, rested his hand on his forehead on the table and shook his head wearily: "Most of the shareholders want me to step down and make way for someone more capable. Mingheng is probably going to change hands soon."
"Aren't you supposed to be so resourceful? Why are you just sitting here waiting to die?" Bai Xin asked anxiously.
Gu Yuan slowly raised his head and met Bai Xin's worried eyes: "Last time, President Liao unilaterally breached the contract with Mingheng for no reason. There must have been someone behind it. Also, do you remember the plagiarism incident a few months ago? That was also premeditated."
Bai Xin hadn't expected this at all, and a cold sweat broke out on his back.
She swallowed hard and asked, "So, you suspect that those two things were done by the same person?"
"Very likely."
Bai Xin frowned, her heart pounding wildly.
No wonder she found the evidence so easily and tracked down the Xu family within a day. Now that I think about it, it might just be a setup by the person behind it.
We thought it had all passed since we stopped investigating, but now another storm has been stirred up.
Bai Xin tentatively asked, "Then who do you think is behind this?"
Gu Yuan put his index finger to his nose, looking thoughtful, and said, "It's hard to say right now, but one thing is certain: the person behind it all is definitely not the Xu family."
Bai Xin seemed to understand somewhat, and she asked again, "Then what makes you so sure that it wasn't Xu who did it?"
Gu Yuan shifted his position, leaning back in his chair, and said, "Because the Xu family doesn't yet have the ability to deal with us, and a single dinner party doesn't prove anything."
Moreover, he believed in Fu Hange.
Bai Xin remained silent. She roughly understood why Gu Yuan hadn't blamed Fu Hange back then. He must have been certain that Fu Hange hadn't done it, but on the surface, he still had to pretend that Fu Hange was the one who did it, in order to deceive everyone, including herself.
“Our Mingheng has been infiltrated by corporate spies,” Gu Yuan said coldly.
Bai Xin was startled by his words, her embroidered brows furrowed even more, and she asked in a serious tone, "How did you know?"
Gu Yuan's tone had turned cold, and his face was unusually grim. "If you didn't have informants, how could you release evidence so we could arrest you the moment we tried to investigate? And how could you know so much about us?"
