Gu Tingchen stood up suddenly, stunned by the scene before him.
"Peter! What on earth do you want to do?!" Gu Tingchen shouted hoarsely, but Peter lay in a pool of blood with a smug look on his face. Facing death, he seemed to have no pain at all, but was satisfied and complacent.
Peter closed his eyes again in front of Gu Tingchen.
Gu Tingchen quickly turned around and looked at the big screen in the distance that was synchronized with him. Everything had returned to normal, and there was no scene of Peter committing suicide at all. It seemed that Peter was just trying to create a false impression and frame Gu Tingchen for having an affair with him.
Gu Tingchen calmed down for a while, and after his emotions stabilized a little, he called Wu Wei's office phone.
"Come right away and don't alarm anyone." Gu Tingchen panted slightly, and at the same time proved to Wu Wei that he had encountered something unusual.
Wu Wei arrived quickly, and the moment he entered the door, his face was as pale as Gu Tingchen's.
"Mr. Gu..." Wu Wei stood at the door in a daze, his whole body frozen, unable to move.
Gu Tingchen frowned unhappily and ordered, "Come in quickly and close the door. I don't want things to get out of hand."
Wu Wei reacted quickly. After hearing Gu Tingchen's words, he immediately went in and closed the office door. At this time, only Gu Tingchen and Wu Wei were left in the room.
Gu Tingchen was not even sure whether Peter lying on the ground was a human being. Perhaps he was actually a monster.
"Mr. Gu, why is Peter here? Why did he die again?" Wu Wei was full of questions. All this was too weird.
Gu Tingchen's face had never been so pale. He supported himself on the desk with both hands and said solemnly, "Clean up this place now. You have to take care of Peter's body yourself. Don't even blink."
"Yes." Although Wu Wei didn't understand a lot of things, he still maintained his professional ethics and let Gu Tingchen make arrangements.
"Before cleaning up, you should take a few photos of him, which will confirm the news that Peter is dead." Gu Tingchen's expression gradually returned to normal, and he instructed Wu Wei in an orderly manner.
Wu Wei was taking a photo of Peter when he raised his own question: "But the video of your meeting with him was just played on the big screen. If we send a photo of his body now, will we gain trust?"
"We can't prove our innocence now. Taking photos is just to leave clues for the future." Gu Tingchen sighed deeply, his expression became solemn. He knew that it would be difficult for the Gu Group to clear its name this time.
As long as they see him and Peter meeting, everyone, including the MS Group, will think that the Gu Group is the mastermind behind the scenes, and that the losses suffered by the Gu Group before were nothing more than a self-torture tactic.
Gu Tingchen's guess was correct. Soon, the Gu Group was once again caught in a huge storm.
All the consumers gathered at the entrance of the Gu Group building, holding flags in protest and shouting in unison, blocking the entrance of the Gu Group building completely. However, the Gu Group remained closed.
Gu Tingchen stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling window in his office, watching those people go from being noisy at the beginning to sitting in silence at the end.
"Mr. Gu, what should we do now?" Wu Wei's face was full of worry. He could already feel that things were getting out of their control.
Gu Tingchen's face was gloomy, but he was surprisingly calm. "Go buy some boxed lunches and water and distribute them to these people who are sitting in meditation. They have been sitting there all day and must be very hungry."
"Ah? Mr. Gu, instead of dealing with these troublemakers, we have to pay for them?" Wu Wei thought there was something wrong with his ears, and his eyes widened as big as silver bells.
Gu Tingchen was too lazy to explain and just ordered calmly: "Do as I say."
Wu Wei was very reluctant, but he still did what Gu Tingchen said. Soon, Gu Tingchen saw Wu Wei and several staff members holding stacks of boxed lunches and mineral water and distributing them to the people who were sitting in silence.
At first, those people thought Wu Wei wanted to bribe them and refused to accept it. However, Wu Wei explained that this was their boss's intention and they could continue to sit in meditation after eating. Only then did the group of people accept Gu Tingchen's kindness.
The news that someone was causing trouble at the entrance of the Gu Group and that Gu Tingchen had treated them with courtesy, despite previous grudges, quickly made the news. Although Gu Tingchen's actions had brought some goodwill to the Gu Group, it was insignificant compared to the crisis they were currently facing.
Jiang Ranran sat in front of the TV, watching these heart-wrenching scenes, and couldn't help but worry about Gu Tingchen.
"Tingchen, I can sell my company and help you get through this crisis." Jiang Ranran called Gu Tingchen and directly asked to sell the company. Although her company was not worth much, it was still worth hundreds of millions.
Gu Tingchen was still as calm and composed as usual, as if he was not afraid even if the sky fell.
"Silly girl, what nonsense are you talking about? Do I need you to sell the company to help me?" His voice was still full of doting.
Jiang Ranran bit her lips tightly, her pink lips seemed to bleed, "But I can't bear to see them making things difficult for you, when you're clearly doing nothing wrong."
"No, I was wrong. I shouldn't have used the chip from MS Group." There was a hint of regret in Gu Tingchen's voice, but it was very slight and fleeting. He could always hide his emotions very well.
"But any domestic manufacturer of electronic products will use MS Group's chips. It's just that Gu Group is the largest among them, so it is the most implicated this time." Jiang Ranran felt distressed.
Gu Tingchen chuckled weakly, "Okay, stop talking, I'll be back after I finish dealing with things here."
After saying this, Gu Tingchen hung up the phone. Jiang Ranran felt lost and felt that every minute and every second was like a year.
At this moment, Xiao Yu started crying again, clamoring to see Duan Meimei. She said that Duan Meimei promised to take her to find her mother. Jiang Ranran hurried downstairs to coax her and comforted her, saying, "Mom is here."
"You are not my mother, you are not my mother!" Xiao Yu slapped Jiang Ranran desperately and pushed her.
Seeing Xiaoyu screaming and hating her, Jiang Ranran felt her heart bleed. She hugged Xiaoyu tightly and said firmly and stubbornly, "Xiaoyu, I'll say it again, no matter what, I am your mother."
Just as he finished speaking, the doorbell of Gu's house rang, and the housekeeper came in to report that there was a woman named Duan Meimei at the door who wanted to see Jiang Ranran.
Before Jiang Ranran could react, Xiao Yu took advantage of Jiang Ranran's distraction to break free from her and ran straight to the door. Jiang Ranran had no time to think about it and could only follow Xiao Yu. When she arrived at the door, she saw Duan Meimei.
