When Rong Shi brought out the noodles, she saw Gu Chu looking down at her phone, looking preoccupied.
"What's wrong?" Rong Shi asked with concern.
Gu Chu said with a solemn expression, "Rong Shi, Jiang Jinyu just called me. The people behind the Shen family have made their move."
Rong Shi seemed to realize something and said, "He lost the Yufeng project and wants your help?"
Gu Chu replied truthfully, "Well, I can't help him with the Yufeng project, but I can still suppress the negative impact of the Jiang family online."
"Do whatever you want! Okay, don't think too much, come and eat, I'm going out for a bit."
Rong Shi said, holding a bowl of noodles in one hand and leading her to the dining table with the other, where they sat down.
When Gu Chu saw Rong Shi was about to leave, she said, "Rong Shi, Xiao Yating is outside."
Rong Shi smiled slightly at her: "Don't worry, I won't pay any attention to her. We caught an exorcist last night."
Gu Chu was surprised that Rong Shi would tell her such a private matter. She was very pleased and asked, "Is it the guy who killed your subordinate?"
"Mm." Rong Shi nodded.
Gu Chu suddenly remembered something and said, "By the way, the person behind Qi might be Su Qi. He is Wanwan's junior brother from the same sect. He used to be a spirit master, but he was expelled from the sect for doing something wrong. Now he is a spirit exorcist."
Rong Shi reached out and gently patted her head: "Okay, I understand."
After Rong Shi finished speaking, he let go of her hand and turned to leave.
"You..." Gu Chu hesitated, wanting to ask Rong Shi if he would be back tonight, but the words wouldn't come out. In the end, she changed her words to "Be careful."
"Um."
afternoon--
Gu Chu met with two people: Jiang Jinyu and Lin Xingxue.
It was still the same coffee shop, but this time we were discussing business in a private room.
Jiang Jinyu's phone rang as soon as he entered the coffee shop.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a WeChat message from Shen Baiyan.
A photograph and a quote.
The photo is a screenshot from surveillance footage. The people in the photo are Rong Shi and Gu Chu near the hot pot restaurant. The two are walking side by side and look very intimate.
Shen Baiyan: [Here's a song for you: "The One Who Fell in Love with Someone Else."]
Jiang Jinyu gritted his teeth and replied: 【That's better than never seeing you again. I'll send you a song, "I'll Love You Till I Die."】
After replying, he pushed open the door to the private room.
"You're here, have a seat!" Gu Chu said indifferently.
Jiang Jinyu looked at Gu Chu with deep eyes and sat down opposite her.
"What methods do you have to suppress trending topics online?"
Gu Chu looked at him meaningfully: "Defeat magic with magic."
Jiang Jinyu didn't understand for a moment: "What do you mean?"
"You must have heard about Qi Mingxuan's insurance fraud scheme, right?" Gu Chu asked tentatively. She didn't believe that Jiang Jinyu hadn't been paying attention to the development of 'Zhonghe Medical', after all, that project was his hard work.
Jiang Jinyu pondered for a moment, "Of course, 'Zhonghe Medical' was developed by my company after all. Although the Ye family stole it, they don't have the ability to take it over."
Jiang Jinyu said with a rather arrogant tone.
Gu Chu didn't take these words to heart and looked at Jiang Jinyu with a hint of disdain.
"So, you knew about Qi Mingxuan's actions from the very beginning?"
"I know," Jiang Jinyu readily admitted.
Gu Chu said meaningfully, "As expected, it's you again, actually watching your hard work get destroyed."
Jiang Jinyu disagreed with Gu Chu's words, saying, "The moment it no longer belongs to me, it's none of my business."
Jiang Jinyu's attitude greatly displeased Gu Chu. She looked at him with disdain and asked a probing question: "Do you still remember the original intention of developing this project? You said you wanted to solve the difficulties that ordinary people face because they can't afford or access medical care, and what have you done now?"
Jiang Jinyu was taken aback at first, then looked at Gu Chu in utter shock: "How did you know!"
Gu Chu said lightly, "How I know is not important. What's important is that you've forgotten your original intention. From the moment you watched Qi Mingxuan destroy this project, you slapped yourself in the face."
Jiang Jinyu narrowed his eyes, scrutinizing Gu Chu with a deep gaze.
He seemed to understand the woman in front of him less and less.
Gu Chu's appearance has always been a mystery to him, an inexplicable mystery. Although Gu Chu never talks to him much and always attributes some inexplicable things to metaphysics, he does not believe that all strange things come from metaphysics.
Besides, Su Wan is already dead.
unless!
Could it be that Su Wan is not dead?
Just as Jiang Jinyu was lost in thought, Gu Chu spoke again: "Do you know why I don't want to have a secret marriage with you?"
Gu Chu looked at him very seriously and asked.
This is also what Jiang Jinyu doesn't understand. You know, he's even more handsome than those movie stars, and he has assets worth hundreds of billions. With his current status and position, there are countless women who want to marry him, but Gu Chu isn't interested in him at all.
At first, he thought Gu Chu was just playing hard to get when she rejected him. Later, he realized that Gu Chu was playing the long game and wanted to wait for him to propose in public.
But now, he finally sees it clearly.
Gu Chu was genuinely not interested in him at all, neither as a person nor in his background. It was as if he simply didn't meet Gu Chu's standards.
"Why?" Jiang Jinyu asked urgently.
Gu Chu looked at him and said, word by word, "Because you cannot uphold your true self, I will not like a man who forgets his faith for the sake of profit."
Boom!
Jiang Jinyu felt as if he had been struck by lightning, his whole body completely dazed.
