As soon as he heard Su Guangbei, Liu Yang's face was immediately filled with panic.
Seeing her expression, Gu Tingchen knew that he must have guessed correctly. Su Guangbei was Liu Yang's weak spot.
Liu Yang quickly suppressed his expression and pretended to be calm. "It's no use asking Mr. Su. I joined the R&D team legally and legitimately. If you ask Mr. Su, you'll get the same answer."
Gu Tingchen obviously didn't believe Liu Yang's words. He said coldly, "Really? No matter what, I have to ask in person."
Ignoring Liu Yang's panicked expression, Gu Tingchen pulled Jiang Ranran away.
The next day, Gu Tingchen personally met with Su Guangbei. Su Guangbei seemed a little surprised by Gu Tingchen's sudden invitation, but he still arrived at the place agreed with Gu Tingchen on time.
Gu Tingchen has always been respectful to his elders in the business world. He stood up, personally pulled out a chair for Su Guangbei, and invited him to sit down.
Su Guangbei smiled broadly. He had always admired business talents like Gu Tingchen, so he didn't act like an elder. "Why did Mr. Gu suddenly ask me to meet him?"
Gu Tingchen smiled, his expression slightly respectful, "To be honest, Mr. Su, I want to ask you for help with something this time." He never liked beating around the bush, he just liked to be straightforward, so he just got straight to the point to avoid being long-winded.
When Su Guangbei heard that Gu Tingchen had something to ask for, his expression turned serious. "What is it? Tell me."
Su Guangbei knew that this matter must be very tricky and he was the only one who could handle it, otherwise Gu Tingchen would never take the initiative to speak.
Gu Tingchen didn't hesitate and asked, "I'm mainly asking about someone. Your company used to have an employee named Liu Yang. Does President Su still remember him?"
Worried that Su Guangbei would not remember for a while, Gu Tingchen reminded him, "She has now followed Ranran to the new company. She was once a member of the R&D team you assigned to Ranran."
"I want to ask you, how did this person join the team?" Gu Tingchen saw Su Guangbei's eyes light up slightly. He knew that Su Guangbei must remember this person, and his mood suddenly became clear.
As expected, Su Guangbei nodded, looking thoughtful. "I remember this person. She came to me many times to beg me to join the team. She was originally unqualified, but she told me that as long as she could join the team and learn, she could do without salary."
Gu Tingchen smiled after hearing this and said, "I don't think Mr. Su just wants to save this salary, right?"
Su Guangbei nodded and said earnestly, "I felt that there weren't many young people these days who had this kind of learning spirit, so because of her sincerity, I made an exception and agreed to let her join the team."
The more Gu Tingchen listened, the more convinced he became that Liu Yang was deliberately trying to get close to Jiang Ranran. His face darkened, "Mr. Su, you don't know, this person doesn't just like studying, she's deliberately trying to get close to Jiang Ranran."
Hearing Gu Tingchen's words, Su Guangbei was also shocked. He stared at Gu Tingchen in disbelief, as if he still had some doubts about the matter. After getting Gu Tingchen's affirmative answer, Su Guangbei gave up.
Su Guangbei was puzzled. He asked Gu Tingchen, "But what is she planning to do by approaching Jiang Ranran? Did they know each other before?"
Gu Tingchen shook his head and told Su Guangbei the whole story.
Su Guangbei's face was filled with resentment, as he was also concerned about Jiang Ranran's safety. "I will fully cooperate with you on this matter. If you need anything, just come to see me. As long as I can help, I will definitely help. Ranran is a good child."
Hearing Su Guangbei say this, Gu Tingchen was very grateful, "Thank you, President Su, for your kindness to Ranran. I thank you on her behalf."
After a few greetings, Gu Tingchen stood up, said goodbye to Su Guangbei, and left.
There was indeed something wrong with this Liu Yang. She had been deliberately getting close to Jiang Ranran from the very beginning. Perhaps she was really someone that A Lian had planted next to Jiang Ranran.
Because Gu Tingchen's men have been tracking down the guy who attacked Jiang Ranran these days, Duan Chengyi, in order to avoid being exposed, plans to stay quiet for a few days and wait and see what happens. He can take this opportunity to pick up Duan Meimei.
He hadn't seen his daughter for a long time and missed her very much, so he couldn't wait to contact Han Ziyi and expressed his desire to take Duan Meimei home. Han Ziyi readily agreed.
Duan Chengyi came to Han Ziyi's house and rang the doorbell. He couldn't help but feel very excited when he thought about seeing his daughter soon. He wondered if his good daughter had suffered or lost weight during this period.
It was Han Ziyi who opened the door. He welcomed Duan Chengyi into his home with a smile, as if he was not Duan Chengyi's creditor.
"Mr. Duan, you are finally here. Meimei has missed you." Han Ziyi smiled, his eyes full of complexity.
Hearing that his beloved daughter also missed him, Duan Chengyi was immediately overwhelmed with excitement and grabbed Han Ziyi's hand, "Then where is my daughter now? Take me to see her quickly!"
The smile on Han Ziyi's face froze instantly, and he stared at Duan Chengyi with cold eyes, "Mr. Duan, is your memory so bad?"
Duan Chengyi was stunned when he noticed Han Ziyi's expression change. "Lawyer Han, what do you mean?"
Han Ziyi suddenly chuckled, "Mr. Duan owes me a lot of money, including bail fees and lawyer fees. It's a considerable amount."
Duan Chengyi immediately understood what Han Ziyi meant, that is, if the money was not repaid, he would not be able to see his daughter.
Duan Chengyi gritted his teeth and took out all the money he had on him and handed it to Han Ziyi. "I think this should be enough. Let me see my daughter quickly."
After counting the money, Han Ziyi's face turned even uglier. "Are you sending away beggars? This amount is no longer the same. If you borrow money from me, I charge interest."
Seeing that Han Ziyi was taking advantage of the situation, Duan Chengyi endured it for the sake of his daughter. "Then tell me, how much money is it now? I will find a way to get it together for you now."
Han Ziyi raised a finger and opened his mouth like a lion, "One million."
This amount really shocked Duan Chengyi. In the past, one million was a piece of cake for him, but now the Duan family has gone bankrupt, and even the money he uses for business is borrowed. How could he have the ability to raise one million for Han Ziyi?
"Are you crazy? Where can I get this one million for you?" Duan Chengyi asked with his eyes wide open.
As soon as he finished speaking, he heard bursts of moaning coming from the innermost room. He immediately recognized that it was Duan Meimei's voice!
Duan Meimei was imprisoned by him.
