Chapter 71 Two Fronts
“…I just found the safe when Gu Ming came in!”
"I was stunned. I didn't know why he was there."
"And he really wanted to kill me! Brother Xiaoyu, the way he looked at me at that time was like he wanted to break my neck!"
"Then Mr. Zhou showed up. He protected me and said I was his granddaughter's pet 'Yuanbao'..."
Lin Muci spoke quickly and urgently, as if only in this way could he pour out all the pent-up fear in his heart.
"Then! The most crucial part is coming!"
"Mr. Zhou opened the safe in front of Gu Ming!"
"Guess what's in there?"
He paused, then continued.
"Empty! Nothing!"
"That was just a bait!"
"Then Mr. Zhou came clean. He said he had already handed the real black account book to a Swiss trust institution and had even set an irrevocable death order!"
"If anything happens to him or his family, the account books will be made public!"
He looked at Gu Chaoyu, his eyes still filled with the shock of witnessing a fight between gods.
"Brother Xiaoyu, our previous plan is nothing but childish play in front of these old foxes!"
"After Gu Ming left, Mr. Zhou immediately pointed out that I was not an ordinary cat. He asked me to tell you everything that happened."
Gu Chaoyu listened quietly.
His face was also full of shock.
Zhou Huaian.
Speaking of this name, he seemed to have seen it in his mother's old photo album.
He was a good friend of my mother when she was young.
He always thought that Zhou Huaian, like all the people promoted by Gu Ming, had long become Gu Ming's vassal.
But I didn’t expect…
He is not Gu Ming's man!
Moreover, judging from what he said to Lin Muci at the end, he seemed to be... helping himself?
But why?
A black account book that is enough to bring down Gu Ming will be kept by him?
What is the relationship between him and me?
Why should he help me?
One huge question after another shrouded Gu Chaoyu's mind.
But right now, none of this matters.
He looked at the pale and frightened Lin Muci in front of him, and all the doubts in his heart were replaced by fear.
He hugged Lin Muci tightly in his arms.
Patting his back gently, soothing him again and again.
Xiao Ci must be terrified...
It's all my fault.
[I was too presumptuous. I actually let him take such a big risk alone...]
[If Zhou Huaian hadn't appeared in time...]
Gu Chaoyu didn't dare to think about it anymore.
He couldn't help but use his ability, wanting to listen to Lin Muci's inner voice, wanting to confirm whether he was really okay and whether he had any psychological trauma.
However--
A blank.
There was no sound in Lin Muci's mind.
Gu Chaoyu was stunned for a moment.
What's going on?!
[Is it because I was too scared? ]
【Your brain is not working anymore?】
He hurriedly loosened his arms and looked down at Lin Muci.
I saw that the person in my arms had closed his eyes at some point, and his breathing was steady and long.
There was even a hint of relief at the corner of his mouth.
he……
Fell asleep.
Because of extreme fatigue, and surrounded by the sense of security brought by Gu Chaoyu, she actually fell asleep.
After a few seconds, Gu Chaoyu sighed helplessly, gently laid Lin Muci flat on the bed, and covered him with a quilt.
The crisis has not been completely resolved.
New information brings new mysteries.
But looking at Lin Muci's peaceful sleeping face, Gu Chaoyu's heart, which had been beating wildly all night, slowly calmed down.
He sat by the bed, watching quietly.
What Zhou Huaian said, “the time has not come yet”, means that passive waiting will only lead to a deeper deadlock.
We must take the initiative.
Go and create that so-called "opportunity"!
An unprecedented sharpness flashed in Gu Chaoyu's eyes.
"We can't wait any longer."
"Since he wants to see a play, I'll set up a stage and sing for him."
......
the next day.
An emergency combat meeting was held in the living room of Gu Chaoyu's house.
Gu Chaoyu, Lin Muci, and Gu Ze who was brought over, sat on the sofa.
On the coffee table, the laptop screen was on, and on the other end of the video call was the energetic Su Wanqing.
Gu Chaoyu briefly reported the changes in the situation last night.
“…That’s the situation.”
"Zhou Huaian is most likely a friendly party, and he holds a trump card that can be fatal in one blow."
"But he set the 'Death Order', which means that the account is now a trump card that cannot be played lightly."
"He said the time wasn't right."
On the other end of the video, Su Wanqing was stunned.
[Holy crap! This plot! It's even more exciting than the novel I wrote!]
[Swiss Trust? Death Order? Has Mr. Zhou watched too many spy movies? He's so handsome!]
After a brief shock, the fighting blood in her body was instantly ignited.
She slammed the table.
"Dry!"
Su Wanqing looked at the screen with a firm tone.
"What do you need me to do? Just one word!"
"My editors are all experts at creating momentum, digging up negative information, and guiding public opinion. We guarantee to expose all the truth about Mingyuan Group!"
Gu Ze, who was sitting next to him, also recovered from his initial shock.
"elder brother!"
"Inside the company...I know those shareholders best!"
"Who are Gu Ming's die-hard fans, who have long been pretending to be loyal to him but secretly disobeying him, and who are pure fence-sitters... I know all of them!"
"I can make a detailed list and analyze which ones are worth pursuing!"
Gu Chaoyu looked at him and nodded.
very good.
Everyone is in place.
"good."
"Then let's split up."
"Gu Ze, you are responsible for providing internal intelligence support and compiling the list and related information as soon as possible."
"Cousin," he looked at Su Wanqing on the screen, "you will be responsible for mobilizing the media. Start by attacking from the outside, creating public pressure, and focusing everyone's attention on Mingyuan Group."
"I will be responsible for contacting and persuading those wavering shareholders."
Two fronts.
Public opinion, internal support.
Attack at the same time!
The war began in silence.
Su Wanqing sat in her studio, her fingertips dancing on the keyboard.
She did not choose to directly bombard Mingyuan Group with a blockbuster bombshell, as that was too crude and could easily be regarded as malicious slander and suppressed.
A true hunter knows how to precisely cut the arteries of his prey.
From the massive amount of information provided by Gu Ze, she picked out the most inconspicuous report - about a not-so-large overseas investment made by Mingyuan Group three years ago.
Then she mobilized all her skills as a veteran media professional.
Verify, quote, and hint at things.
An in-depth report titled "The Hidden Reefs Beneath the Glitz: The Compliance of Mingyuan Group's Overseas Investment Projects is in Doubt" quietly appeared on a highly credible financial self-media public account.
