Inside the private room—
As soon as Huang Jianhan and the others left, Gu Chu immediately tried to stand up from Jiang Jinyu, but Jiang Jinyu pressed her down.
Gu Chu looked at him in surprise, but before she could speak, Jiang Jinyu suddenly reached out and grabbed her chest.
Gu Chu was immediately filled with shame and anger. She looked up to hit him, but Jiang Jinyu grabbed her raised hand and sneered, "What, trying to burn bridges after crossing the river?"
"I wouldn't dare. Now that they've left, let's talk business!" Gu Wan said, getting up again.
Jiang Jinyu placed his hands on her waist, and just as Gu Chu was flustered and shocked, Jiang Jinyu pulled out a cell phone that was recording in her waist pocket.
Gu Chu remained calm; this was something she had expected.
She had witnessed Jiang Jinyu's caution in her past life, but she never expected that those people would end their conversation so hastily after she came in.
However, it didn't matter. When she recognized Huang Jianhan, Tan Kui, and Sakata Ichino, she already knew the content of their conversation based on her memories from her previous life. It was nothing more than the construction of the 'Huadao Friendship Garden'.
Gu Chu smiled and finally stood up from his embrace: "President Jiang is as cautious as ever."
Jiang Jinyu said sternly, "Miss Gu is no less audacious. Tell me, how did you know I was going to deal with Shen Baiyan?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Chu realized that Jiang Jinyu had already investigated Su Wan because of her, and even everyone who frequently appeared around Su Wan.
She said, "That's not important. What I want to tell you right now is, don't agree to those islanders' demands, or you'll regret it!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Jinyu's gaze turned sharp as he looked at her: "Do you know what we're talking about?"
Gu Chu had no intention of hiding anything. Since it was a negotiation, she had to reveal some real information to gain the other party's trust.
“I know. Not only that, I also know that you have people following and monitoring Su Wan every day.”
Jiang Jinyu sat motionless on the sofa, looking up at Gu Chu: "Why do you know these things? This is completely outside the knowledge of an unloved adopted daughter of the Gu family."
“I not only know these things, I also know many other things. The reason I appeared in front of you is to ask you to let Su Wan go and not to harm her. If you want to target Shen Baiyan, you need to find his weakness, and I happen to know where his weakness is.” Gu Chu finished speaking and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jiang Jinyu stood up, not in a hurry to find out Shen Baiyan's weakness. Compared to dealing with Shen Baiyan, he was clearly more interested in Gu Chu, who was different from what he had investigated.
He smirked and walked toward Gu Chu: "You two really have a deep sisterly bond. She abandoned you for wealth and status by getting plastic surgery, so why are you still protecting her?"
Gu Chu didn't expect Jiang Jinyu to mistakenly think that Su Wan had undergone plastic surgery. Well, anyone would not think of anything other than plastic surgery in such a situation.
She looked coldly at Jiang Jinyu, instinctively taking a step back to create distance between them: "She didn't have plastic surgery, she's a spirit possessed!"
"Spiritual possession?" Jiang Jinyu heard this term again. The last time he heard it was when Su Wan's shop had just been renovated and the signboard was hung up.
"Yes, spirit possession, what spirit possession is..."
Gu Chu told Jiang Jinyu everything she knew about the spirit possession, and Jiang Jinyu kept his eyes half-closed as he scrutinized Gu Chu, as if trying to analyze whether she was lying by observing her changes in expression.
After all, the fact that such an unbelievable thing as 'soul swapping' came from the mouth of a 'mysterious' woman made him have to be cautious.
He asked, "How can you prove that 'spirit possession' exists in this world?"
Gu Chu's eyes flickered, then she crossed her arms and said warily, "That's easy. Our store is opening today, and Mr. Jiang is welcome to come and experience the feeling of spirit possession anytime."
That's what he said, but Gu Chu didn't believe Jiang Jinyu would be foolish enough to experience it himself; he must have found someone else to experience it for him to see.
He asked, "What conditions are required for a spirit to reside in a body?"
Gu Chu replied, "Two people born on the same day, month, and year can do it as long as they both agree."
"that's all?"
Jiang Jinyu was somewhat surprised, not expecting it to be so simple. He was even less inclined to believe in the matter of spirit possession, but seeing Gu Chu's confident demeanor, he hesitated again.
"Yes, we can prove the matter of spirit possession to you. I have already told you the purpose of my visit today. If you believe me, you will be glad that I appeared in the future. If you don't believe me, you will regret it in the future, and I can't change anything." Gu Chu said everything that needed to be said very frankly.
Jiang Jinyu seemed thoughtful upon hearing this: "What would happen if I agreed to their request?"
Gu Chu recalled the fate of Jiang Jinyu after he sold the land to the other party in his previous life, and said heavily: "Jiang's stock price plummeted, and Jiang Group was pushed to the forefront of public opinion and faced questioning and cyberbullying from people all over the country."
Hearing this answer, Jiang Jinyu couldn't help but get agitated. He grabbed Gu Chu's shoulders and stared at her sharply: "Why did that happen? What do you know!"
When Gu Chu saw his appearance, she subconsciously recalled the scene of the Jiang Group experiencing a precipitous crisis in her previous life.
When Jiang Jinyu was interviewed by reporters, his eyes were bloodshot and filled with murderous intent. He even pretended to be crazy and escaped to a mental hospital to avoid disaster.
It wasn't until he uncovered a larger underground intelligence network in the island nation while in the mental hospital that Jiang had a chance to turn things around. In the end, Jiang gained the forgiveness of the Chinese people by claiming that he had been deceived and schemed against, and thus regained his footing in City A, growing stronger and stronger.
Thinking about all this, Gu Chu simply told him the truth and the consequences: "Sakata Ichino is a spy from the island nation who has infiltrated China, and Tan Kui is his subordinate. After the 'China-Island Friendship Park' is established, the islanders will carve the names of the island generals who invaded China into stone tablets and then erect them in front of the park gate for the islanders in China to pay their respects. This is an insult to our ancestors, and it is something that every Chinese person cannot tolerate. So what do you think the consequences will be if you sell the land to him?"
