Chapter 317 A Clean Slip
WWYS Secretarial Company.
A secretarial company is a professional service organization that provides services such as legal registered address, administrative support, document processing and communication management to businesses, especially those that do not have a physical office in their registered location.
In other words, the prestigious conglomerate that she and Bai Yichen found was actually just an empty shell.
All of the company's registration information was provided by WWYS's secretarial company.
It's not true.
In other words, there is absolutely no way she could find the fake Gu Jinci here.
Seeing Jiang Ning's dejected expression, Bai Yichen patted her on the shoulder.
"Since we're already here, let's go in and take a look. We might get some information."
"...Okay!"
Encouraged by Bai Yichen, Jiang Ning entered the office of WWYS Secretarial Company.
Meanwhile, across from the building, a black Maybach was parked.
Sitting in the driver's seat, Xiao Zhang turned to Lu Junyan, who was sitting in the back seat, and said:
“Mr. Lu, the police investigation is very limited, but I found out that the real Gu Jinci… died at the hands of the Dragon Fang Gang.”
"Dragon Fang Gang..."
Lu Junyan lowered his eyelids slightly.
Such gangs are commonplace in the United States. Lu Junyan thought carefully but couldn't recall any connection or entanglement between the Lu Group or himself and the Dragon Fang Gang.
But……
Chu Qingxue is a member of the Dragon Fang Gang.
Whether she was forced into it or not, she was indeed controlled by the Dragon Fang Gang.
The real Gu Jinci died at the hands of the Dragon Fang Gang.
In other words, the fake Gu Jinci is very likely from the Dragon Fang Gang.
In any case, they are definitely inextricably linked to the Dragon Fang Gang.
"Xiao Zhang, go investigate the Dragon Fang Gang."
Lu Junyan gave Xiao Zhang the instructions decisively.
Xiao Zhang didn't ask Lu Junyan what he was investigating about the Dragon Tooth Gang.
He knew very well that Lu Junyan wanted to know everything about the Dragon Fang Gang, down to the smallest detail.
However, the Dragon Fang Gang has a certain influence in the United States, since it is not on their home turf, so it will be somewhat difficult for him to investigate.
"Mr. Lu, I will do my best..."
Xiao Zhang didn't rule out the possibility of a definitive answer, and Lu Junyan didn't blame him.
"You don't need to go back to the company during this period."
Xiao Zhang actually holds two jobs: one is Lu Junyan's assistant, who is also the assistant of John, the richest man on H Island.
The other one is for Jiang Ning's assistant, although she has already submitted her resignation.
"President Lu, what about President Jiang... do you still want to continue?"
Lu Junyan did not answer this question.
He simply rubbed his temples with his large hands, which only made the pain worse.
He originally thought that by becoming Jiang Ning's assistant and helping her manage the Lu Group, he could stabilize the company and also have the advantage of being close to her.
But Jiang Ning's attitude towards him was far too indifferent.
Sometimes he would think that he would feel better if Jiang Ning hated him to the bone like some TV dramas and novels do.
After all, hatred is also a form of caring, a kind of deep-seated feeling.
However, Jiang Ning harbored no hatred towards him.
It doesn't matter.
Whether he becomes an assistant or not, Jiang Ning doesn't care.
For Jiang Ning, his existence was dispensable and insignificant.
The more Lu Junyan thought about it, the more suffocated he felt in his chest.
He closed his eyes and couldn't help but recall the days after his marriage to Jiang Ning.
At that time, he probably had the same indifferent attitude towards Jiangning!
Through the rearview mirror, Xiao Zhang saw Lu Junyan's face.
Since his official divorce from Jiang Ning, Lu Junyan's face has often shown this restless and uneasy expression. His brows are always furrowed, as if they were carved with a knife and can never be smoothed out.
Given his position, he shouldn't interfere in Lu Junyan's private life, especially his love life.
But he really wanted to say something to Lu Junyan:
If only I had known then what I know now.
WWYS Secretarial Company did an excellent job of keeping secrets, and Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen's trip to the United States was essentially fruitless.
The two flew back to City A, and as soon as they got off the plane, they saw Gu Lanlan.
Gu Lanlan was not in a good mental state. Her eyes looked swollen from crying, and her complexion was pale, as if covered in dust.
Jiang Ning knew that Gu Lanlan had resigned.
Unable to focus on her work, she had no choice but to resign and go home to rest for a while.
Jiang Ning actually did not approve of Gu Lanlan's resignation.
She believed that it was better for Gu Lanlan to have a job than to quit her job and stay at home overthinking.
But she couldn't make the decision for Gu Lanlan.
Just like how she couldn't stop Gu Lanlan from believing Gu Jinci back then.
She told Gu Lanlan about her flight with Bai Yichen via WeChat because Gu Lanlan asked her if she could find Gu Jinci.
She knew Gu Lanlan wanted a clean break.
However, she did not expect that Gu Lanlan would actually show up at the airport.
Upon spotting Jiang Ning in the crowd, Gu Lanlan strode towards him.
However, just as Gu Lanlan was about to reach Jiang Ning, she saw Bai Yichen, who was standing next to Jiang Ning, suddenly step forward and block her way.
Gu Lanlan immediately stopped and lowered her head in embarrassment.
She knew that Bai Yichen's action was to prevent her from hurting Jiang Ning again.
In Bai Yichen's eyes, she is no different from a bad person now.
They are all untrustworthy.
Gu Lanlan's idea was indeed in line with what Bai Yichen was thinking.
Regardless of what Jiang Ning thought, he simply could not forgive Gu Lanlan.
"Bai Yichen, I...I won't...hurt A-Ning..."
Gu Lanlan began to speak haltingly.
"You have already hurt them."
Bai Yichen's voice was resolute.
"Alright, Bai Yichen..."
Jiang Ning gently pushed Bai Yichen away and saw Gu Lanlan's tearful face.
"I'm sorry, Lanlan, I couldn't find Gu Jinci."
Gu Lanlan suddenly raised her head, her eyes filled with disappointment.
"Then...then your company..."
Gu Lanlan hesitated, as if she wanted to say something but then stopped.
She came here partly to find out if Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen had caught Gu Jinci; there were some things she needed to ask them in person.
On the other hand, he also wanted to take the opportunity to meet Jiang Ning.
She wanted to ask how Jiang Ning's company was doing.
In the past, Gu Lanlan could openly express her concern for Jiang Ning or criticize him.
However, now, she has lost all confidence even in wanting to care about Jiang Ning.
She wasn't even sure if Jiang Ning still considered her a friend.
Jiang Ning couldn't bear to look at Gu Lanlan's cautious and pitiful appearance.
"It's all over now, thanks to Bai Yichen's help."
Upon hearing the second half of Jiang Ning's sentence, Bai Yichen's expression became somewhat uneasy.
Gu Lanlan immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Even if Aning's company survives the crisis, it doesn't mean you can wipe the slate clean of what you did to Aning.
Bai Yichen's words were another wake-up call for Gu Lanlan.
"Alright, stop talking... Let's go!"
Jiang Ning and Bai Yichen passed by Gu Lanlan one after the other.
When Jiang Ning had his back to Gu Lanlan, he heard Gu Lanlan sobbing.
She clenched her fist.
"Ignore her, she brought this on herself."
Bai Yichen put his arm around Jiang Ning's shoulder.
