Chapter 166 Gu Jingcheng, do you think you're some kind of hot commodity?
Gu Jingcheng listened to Bai Qianqian's affected and pretentious voice on the other end of the phone.
My heart remained completely unmoved.
A hint of mockery even appeared.
It's the same old routine again.
This is her usual tactic; she knows he's with Weiwei.
She wanted him to leave home late at night to go to the hospital with her.
This clumsy trick, in the past,
You can also use his guilt to your advantage.
But now...
Gu Jingcheng's mind flashed through the investigation results that Qiu Cheng had brought over the past few days.
"President Gu, I've found out. Bai Qianqian's return to China this time was arranged by Chen Jinhuai."
Chen Jinhuai's shell companies had frequent cash flows.
We have close contact with several companies in our project's supply chain.
They probably want to launch our project around the time it goes live.
"They caught us completely off guard..."
Bai Qianqian's appearance was merely to distract him.
To provide cover for Chen Jinhuai's business activities.
A cold glint flashed in Gu Jingcheng's eyes.
Her voice, however, was unusually gentle, a soothing whisper.
"Don't overthink it, it's just thunder, I'll be right there."
After hanging up the phone, all the gentleness on his face vanished.
These days, besides dealing with projects,
Most of their energy was devoted to investigating Bai Qianqian's true intentions for returning to China.
After they found out she was living in Chen Jinhuai's villa.
He knew exactly what her purpose was.
That little bit of feeling in my heart about 13 years ago,
The filter of the girl who lit up his dark world has shattered completely.
It's time to expose this scam.
The rain was pattering against the window.
Lin Wei leaned quietly against the railing on the second floor.
Seeing that Gu Jingcheng had his back to her,
When Bai Qianqian said she wanted him to stay with her
Gu Jingcheng decisively grabbed the suit jacket draped over the sofa.
He hurried toward the gate.
He didn't notice her on the second floor at all.
She stood there, a sense of loss spreading from her heart throughout her body.
Just hours before, the man had whispered in her ear that he loved only her.
Now, reality has washed it all away, leaving only a cold, clear-headed feeling.
Lin Wei said nothing, turned around, and walked back to the bedroom.
The plan was suddenly changed.
Originally, she planned to settle down in Blue City first.
I'll find a suitable time to go through with the divorce proceedings with Gu Jingcheng.
Subconsciously, I was thinking of him and trying my best not to affect the project that his company was about to launch.
But in that man's heart, there was no longer a place for her.
For him, her departure or staying was less important than Bai Qianqian's fear.
Her concerns became a joke.
If that's the case, why should she continue to be delusional?
Lin Wei's eyes hardened.
She wants to get a divorce before going to Blue City.
Regardless of the consequences, she must get a divorce.
Every day she continues to be known as Mrs. Gu is a mockery of her love-struck mind.
Lin Wei cancelled her flight to Blue City for tomorrow.
The draft divorce agreement was modified.
She knew that, given Gu Jingcheng's pride and controlling nature,
We won't let her leave easily.
Jingcheng Group's most important project for the second half of the year is about to go online.
Even a small amount of negative news can cause investors to stop investing and cause stock prices to fluctuate.
At this critical juncture, if news breaks of the Gu Group president's marital troubles...
This will be a heavy blow to Jingcheng Group.
She will go to Gu Huojun tomorrow to discuss the divorce.
Gu Huojun values family reputation and group interests above all else.
They wouldn't stand by and watch the scandal of Gu Jingcheng's divorce get out at this time.
He will naturally clean it up for his son...
-
11:30 p.m.
The VIP floor of the private hospital in Jiangcheng was eerily quiet.
The corridor was packed with a dozen or so bodyguards dressed in black suits.
In the VIP ward at the end of the corridor, Gu Jingcheng sat on a single sofa.
Leaning back, her long legs crossed.
He was wearing a dark gray suit, but no tie.
The top two buttons of his shirt collar were casually undone.
A chilling aura emanated from him.
He stared coldly at Bai Qianqian, who lay pale on the hospital bed.
Bai Qianqian felt a chill run down her spine from Gu Jingcheng's gaze.
She forced a pitiful expression, her voice so soft it could drip water.
"Brother Jingcheng, what... what are you doing?"
They said they were scared, but... but does that mean so many people have to come and 'protect' them?
"I just... I just want you to keep me company."
As she spoke, Bai Qianqian lifted the blanket, intending to sit in the empty seat next to the sofa.
She had barely taken two steps when the two bodyguards showed her no mercy.
He grabbed her arms and roughly pushed her back into the plastic chair.
"Tell me, what is your purpose in coming back this time?"
Bai Qianqian's eyes darted around rapidly.
She couldn't panic; her brother Jin Huai's plan had reached its most crucial moment.
If she can just hold on a little longer, Gu Jingcheng won't be able to find any solid evidence.
Once Brother Jin Huai succeeds, she will be able to stand proudly beside him.
Enjoy everything that is rightfully hers.
These ten years of hard work are finally about to bear fruit...
Bai Qianqian suppressed the panic in her heart.
She forced a wronged expression onto her face, her eyes reddening.
"Brother Jingcheng, what are you saying?"
What's the purpose? Qianqian didn't understand...
Have you heard any rumors or gossip?
I returned to China simply because I was unwell.
I want to come back and recuperate. I... I've always been your Qianqian.
Just like when we were kids…
Gu Jingcheng watched her superb performance.
All that remained in his eyes was cold disgust.
The girl who brought him warmth in the darkness in his memory.
It is now slowly rotting and becoming filthy.
Gu Jingcheng raised his hand and waved.
The ward door was pushed open, and two bodyguards dragged a man who had been beaten black and blue.
The man walked in.
They threw him on the floor.
The man was curled up, groaning in pain.
Bai Qianqian's pupils suddenly contracted, and her blood froze.
...Shen Xinyu.
How could he have been beaten up like this?
Gu Jingcheng looked down at Bai Qianqian.
His face was cold, devoid of any warmth.
Bai Qianqian guessed that he already knew everything.
After a long silence, she suddenly smiled.
She laughed until tears streamed down her face; her whole life had been a charade, a performance.
At that moment, she felt inexplicably tired...
A sense of utter despair and recklessness welled up inside me.
"Since you already know, I won't hide it from you anymore."
Yes, just like you know.
Gu Jingcheng, do you think you're some kind of hot commodity?
Let me tell you, Jin Huai is the one I love.
Yes, that kidnapping was orchestrated by Brother Jin Huai and me.
I deliberately saved the steamed bun for you, to encourage you in the darkness.
I'll give you the chance to escape, and then make sure they find me and bring me back.
I want you to feel guilty towards me for the rest of your life, and to always remember the good I did for you.
Originally, Jin Huai and I had planned it all out, waiting for you to come out...
You'll marry me out of guilt, and I'll marry into the Gu family. With harmony both inside and out, sooner or later...
The Gu family is ours for the taking.
But how could I have known that those bastards would damage my kidneys?
It will prevent me from living a normal life for the rest of my life.
He could only hide like a stray dog in a private hospital in America where the sun never shines.
I looked again and again at the sky, a square enclosure of concrete and steel bars.
"Gu Jingcheng, all of this is because of you."
"If you had married me sooner, Brother Jin Huai and I wouldn't have had to come up with such a dangerous plan."
