"Don't you know what you did?" Gu Qingyan looked down at him. "What happened in that private room just now?" Gu Qingyan pointed in the direction of the private room with his chin, wanting him to tell him what happened.
"Damn it! It's that woman again! A lousy writer, where do all these people get to stand up for her! She puts on such a high and mighty act, but she's probably rotten to the core. You didn't see it just now, her assistant carried her away affectionately. An assistant? You're kidding me! You've all been fooled by her innocent appearance! Every single one of you is a green hat!" President Zhao roared angrily.
"Try saying another word about my wife!" Gu Qingyan threatened angrily, his face darkening.
"Your wife?" Mr. Zhao muttered in confusion.
Zhong Wenhua, standing to the side, widened his eyes and immediately understood why Gu Qingyan was so angry. Combining what she had just said, he instantly guessed the whole story.
Mr. Zhao is a notorious lecher in their circle; it seems he's really messed with himself today. He frowned. Serves him right!
"So what if it's your wife? You can't control your own wife, so you come out and beat people to vent your anger. Where were you when I slapped her? I guess that's all you're good for, ptooey!" Boss Zhao spat a mouthful of blood on the ground, looking at him provocatively.
Seeing the growing murderous intent emanating from Gu Qingyan, Zhong Wenhua quickly rebuked him, "What nonsense are you spouting?" He then moved closer and lowered his voice to say to President Zhao, "Do you know who he is? He's Gu Qingyan, the president of the Nancheng Gu Group! Neither of us can afford to offend him!"
Mr. Zhao muttered, "What a load of bullshit, the Gu Group of Nancheng...", then his expression instantly turned horrified. "What? The Gu Group...?"
He looked bewildered. Their company wasn't even close to the size of the Gu Group, so he had never met Gu Qingyan before and never made the connection.
"You'd better apologize to President Gu right away! Otherwise, I won't be able to protect you either!" Zhong Wenhua said patiently.
Mr. Zhao's mind raced, and he immediately put on a fawning smile, saying obsequiously, "President Gu, President Gu, I'm so sorry, please forgive my rudeness. I always talk nonsense, please don't be angry, it's all my fault." As he spoke, he immediately slapped himself across the face, then cautiously looked at Gu Qingyan. Seeing Gu Qingyan's cold gaze, he immediately slapped himself even harder.
"Mr. Gu, really, I didn't know she was Mrs. Gu, I'm so sorry..."
“President Zhong, it seems you two know each other. Which company does this person work for? You should know what to do without me telling you. Otherwise…” Gu Qingyan paused, then glanced at Zhong Wenhua with a warning look.
Zhong Wenhua immediately kept a great distance from General Manager Zhao.
"Understood, understood." Zhong Wenhua was so nervous that he was sweating profusely. He waved his hand and quickly had someone pull General Manager Zhao away.
Mr. Zhao, who was on the ground, was carried out like a pig.
Seeing Director Li not far away, Gu Qingyan walked over and said politely, "Director Li, it's been a long time. I didn't expect to run into you in Nancheng. I'm afraid what happened just now must have offended your eyes."
Director Li was still reeling from the shocking truth that "Shanshan" was Mrs. Gu, and didn't quite catch his breath for a moment before saying, "Hello, Mr. Gu. What a coincidence."
"Hmm." Gu Qingyan responded casually, then stated his purpose directly: "Judging from what you just said, Director Li knows my wife? If I'm not mistaken, it was you, my wife, and the person who was carried out who were dining in the private room just now, right?"
Director Li felt a pang of guilt, a sense of unease creeping over him. If he hadn't promised President Zhao to go with him, this wouldn't have happened. "Yes. But I didn't know she was your wife, nor did I know this would happen. I'm truly sorry, Mrs. Gu."
"Just now, I heard that person say that my wife is a writer?" Gu Qingyan frowned, somewhat puzzled.
Director Li nodded, realizing that "Shanshan" had even kept it a secret from her husband. But at this moment, he could only tell the truth. He looked at Gu Qingyan and said, "Mr. Gu, have you ever heard of the name 'Shanshan'?"
"Shanshan?" Gu Qingyan has never been interested in novels, nor does he know anyone in this circle. He usually reads financial materials, so he doesn't really know much about this area.
How much is Shen Zhi Qiu hiding from me? Gu Qingyan grew angrier the more he thought about it, and his face darkened.
"Mr. Gu, you can look up the pen name 'Shanshan' online later." Director Li said meaningfully, looking at Gu Qingyan's reaction and recalling the "divorce declaration" that had been removed from the internet.
On the way back to the sanatorium.
"Zhiqiu, things happened so suddenly, and Gu Qingyan just happened to see you. I reckon he'll find out about this place soon." Lu Jia drove the car at high speed toward the sanatorium.
"Hmm." Shen Zhi Qiu took off her hat, looked at her still slightly swollen cheeks in the mirror, pursed her lips, and made up her mind.
"Lu Jia, it seems I have to leave Rongcheng today."
"No need for that. I've already planned my escape route from the beginning." Lu Jia smiled, looking at Shen Zhi Qiu's questioning gaze. "Don't you trust me to handle things?"
“The sanatorium in Rongcheng is under my name. I had previously evaded his pursuit, but today was too urgent and we left too many traces there. I didn’t have time to erase them all. With Gu Qingyan’s abilities, it’s only a matter of time before he finds out about me.”
But several years ago, I built a villa halfway up another mountain. While the facilities weren't as complete as a sanatorium, it was still a beautiful place with clear water and pleasant air. When Jiangbei saw this place, he insisted on building a villa right next to mine, saying it would be convenient for everyone to vacation together in the future.
At this point, Lu Jia curled the corner of his mouth, "The key is that this villa is extremely well hidden. If you don't know the exact location, it's impossible for anyone to find it."
Shen Zhi Qiu was somewhat surprised, "Why do you always choose to build houses in places deep in the mountains?"
“You know, in our line of work, sometimes we need absolute quiet. The mountains are perfect, and the scenery is beautiful.” Lu Jia gestured ahead, “Look, Xiaoyu has already packed Grandma’s things. Take some of your personal belongings with you; you can leave the rest for now. We need to move immediately.”
Shen Zhi Qiu nodded and quickly packed a suitcase.
Without delay, they immediately set off for the hillside villa.
It was nearly midnight when we arrived at the hillside villa.
After settling her grandmother and Lu Xiaoyu in, Shen Zhi Qiu drank a glass of warm water and prepared to go to sleep, only to see Lu Jia sitting in the living room, deep in thought, holding her computer.
Driven by curiosity, she walked up to Lu Jia and asked in confusion, "Why aren't you sleeping?"
Lu Jia frowned and showed the computer screen to Shen Zhi Qiu.
A small red dot could be seen rapidly moving towards the sanatorium.
"Gu Qingyan found us as expected, faster than I thought."
Shen Zhi Qiu frowned in surprise, "You planted a tracker on Gu Qing Yan?"
