Chapter 65 Gu Ze’s Dilemma
She was eating her meal absentmindedly while frantically observing the two people opposite her.
[Here comes the food! Dr. Gu gives Xiao Ci his favorite sweet and sour pork!]
Xiao Ci's reaction! He blushed! Even his ears turned red!
[What the hell is Dr. Gu doing under the table? He seems to have nudged Xiao Ci's leg!]
[Help! The air currents between these two people are different! It's pink! It's definitely pink!]
Su Wanqing felt like she was about to be suffocated to death by the dog food in the room.
[No, no, Su Wanqing, calm down! ]
[Business! Business is important!]
She shook her head frantically, forcing herself to emerge from the ocean of CP.
"So, what's going on?"
"Tell me the truth, don't talk to me about business friction."
Su Wanqing put down her chopsticks and looked at them sharply.
As a veteran media professional, she is much more sensitive to events than ordinary people.
"Today's commotion, with both the Industrial and Commercial Administration and the Fire Department involved, clearly shows a premeditated and malicious suppression. Who did you offend?"
Lin Muci opened his mouth, not knowing what to say.
Gu Chaoyu took over the conversation.
"Cousin, this matter... is a little more complicated than you think."
"It's my family's business."
He didn't point it out, but Su Wanqing understood it instantly.
Who else could make Gu Chaoyu use the word "family affairs" except Gu Chaoyu's father, Gu Ming, whom Lin Muci had complained about before?
Su Wanqing frowned tightly.
"Why did he target my uncle and aunt's restaurant?"
"Because of me." Gu Chaoyu's answer was very direct.
Su Holmes Wanqing's mind was working rapidly.
【I understand.】
[This is a family feud, a father and son are at odds.]
Gu Ming wanted to control Dr. Gu, but Dr. Gu refused, so he took action against the person Dr. Gu cared about the most.
【And Xiao Ci is the person Dr. Gu cares about the most! 】
[Ahhhh! What kind of tragic love story is this, where I fight the whole world for you!]
"I understand." Su Wanqing nodded solemnly.
"Since they're coming for you, you can't just sit there and wait for death."
"I work in the media, and I have some connections and resources. Let's get this out there, guide public opinion, and make him afraid to act rashly again!"
As she spoke, she went to get her computer.
"no."
Gu Chaoyu simply refused.
"Thank you for your kindness, cousin."
"This matter is not yet at the point where we need to rely on public opinion."
"I don't want to expose my uncle and aunt, as well as you and Xiao Ci, to the public. It's too dangerous."
Su Wanqing looked at him and suddenly felt that Dr. Gu in front of her was a little strange.
But damn, more attractive!
[Oh my god! This is such damn control!]
【He is protecting Xiaoci and his family! 】
"I don't want to put you in danger." Ahhhh, what kind of bossy statement is that?! Too sweet!
A few days later,
Gu Chaoyu's cell phone on the table vibrated.
He glanced at the caller ID and saw it was "Uncle Wang".
Gu Chaoyu picked up the phone and walked to the balcony to answer it.
His voice was very low, but the living room was too quiet, and the scattered words still floated into Lin Muci's ears intermittently.
“…Yes, it’s me.”
"……How about it?"
“…No trace at all?”
"...clean as new?"
Lin Muci's heart sank little by little with each question.
He knew that Uncle Wang was once a close confidant of Gu Chaoyu's mother in the company and was also one of the people Gu Chaoyu trusted most now.
This call must be related to the investigation of Gu Ming.
A few minutes later, Gu Chaoyu hung up the phone and walked back.
There was no change in his expression, he remained calm.
But Lin Muci felt a sudden panic for no reason.
【what to do? 】
[Cannot find...]
Is Gu Ming too powerful? Even Uncle Wang can't find anything...
[He's so impenetrable, how is Brother Xiaoyu going to deal with him?]
【Will Brother Xiaoyu be in danger? 】
Gu Chaoyu, who noticed Lin Muci's emotions, reached out and wrapped Lin Muci's small hand tightly, and rubbed the back of Lin Muci's hand gently with his thumb.
The warmth from the palm and the soothing touch of the thumb gradually dispelled his inner uneasiness.
Capital, Mingyuan Group President's Office.
Gu Ming hung up the phone.
On the other end of the phone was the person he sent to "stalk".
The content of the report was very simple: Gu Ze stayed in the room all day and was very well behaved.
But Gu Ming knew that this was just an appearance.
He has confirmed through his own means that the person who tipped off Gu Chaoyu was Gu Ze - the stepson whom he always thought was cowardly, obedient and could be manipulated at will.
Unexpectedly, Gu Ming did not get angry.
He sat calmly behind the huge mahogany desk, his face expressionless.
After a while, he picked up the internal phone on the table and dialed a number.
"It's me, Gu Ming."
"Freeze all bank cards, credit cards, and securities accounts under the names of Gu Ze and his mother Chen Qin."
"Execute immediately."
He paused and added.
"Also, send a few people to their home to 'protect' them and their child."
"Without my order, they are not allowed to step out of the villa, and no outsiders are allowed to visit."
The person on the other end of the phone didn't even dare to ask "why" and just kept nodding off.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Ming leaned back in his chair, tapping lightly on the table with his slender fingers.
【Ginger-eyed wolf.】
[Do you really think you've grown strong enough to challenge me?]
[Gu Chaoyu is like this, and so are you.]
[I want to see if you two "ungrateful brothers" can escape from my clutches!]
…
Gu family villa.
The atmosphere, which used to be somewhat lively, is now very oppressive.
"Auntie Zhang, my mom isn't feeling well. Can you let me go out and get some medicine?"
Gu Ze stopped the servant who was blocking the door, his voice pleading.
Mother Zhang looked embarrassed.
"Master Xiaoze, it's not that I don't want to help you...it's that the master has ordered that you and the wife...can't go out."
"Then I'll ask my friend to bring the medicine over!"
"The master also said that no outsiders can be allowed in."
Gu Ze understood that Gu Ming must have known that he had informed Gu Chaoyu, so he put him and his mother under house arrest.
He knew that it was useless to say more, and no matter how much he begged, Aunt Zhang would not let him out. At this moment, he heard his mother's moans from upstairs.
So he rushed back to his mother's room on the second floor.
Chen Qin was lying on the bed, her face pale, her forehead covered in cold sweat, and her breathing rapid.
"Mom! Mom, how are you?"
"Aze... I... my chest hurts... take medicine... quickly..."
Chen Qin pointed to the bedside table where she always kept her emergency heart medicine.
Gu Ze rushed over like crazy, opened the medicine bottle, but found it was empty.
"Where's the medicine?!"
"Yesterday... we finished eating... and forgot to ask Aunt Zhang to buy some..."
Chen Qin's voice became weaker and weaker.
Gu Ze rushed out of the room and yelled at the bodyguards guarding the door downstairs.
"My mom is having a heart attack! Call an ambulance!"
