The serialized novel that Xu Keke mentioned was written by someone they commissioned.
The chapter that Miss Guo saw described how the eldest son, born of the legitimate wife, learned that his father was having an affair and had been spoiling another son. He even decided to leave all his property to this illegitimate son.
This young master cleverly transferred all the family's properties to his own name. He also had his sworn brother help him send his father and younger brother to the ancestral home in the countryside, where they were well cared for.
When Xu Keke and her team hired someone to write it, they never imagined that Boss Guo not only actually had a son in secret, but that Miss Guo would discover it that very night.
When Miss Guo appeared before them, disheveled and in disarray, Xu Keke and Chen Ming exchanged a glance, both speechless for a moment.
They had someone write that the eldest son of the family drugged his father, thinking that father and daughter are always connected, and they were afraid that if they wrote too much, Miss Guo wouldn't be able to bring herself to do it.
No one expected that she would actually take Mr. Guo's life.
A bolt of lightning struck outside, accompanied by a muffled rumble of thunder, and Miss Guo turned deathly pale with fright.
"What should I do? What should I do?" Her hands trembled, even when she clenched them tightly, they still couldn't stop shaking.
"Don't panic. You're a girl, so you probably didn't know your own strength. You might think you killed your father, but actually he's not dead."
Chen Ming's words sounded like reassurance, but he was actually trying to find out the specifics.
Since entering, Miss Guo had been speaking incoherently and incoherently. All they heard her repeatedly say was, "I killed my father!"
“He’s dead. I tried, he wasn’t breathing. I learned first aid in school. I know what a dead person looks like. I even checked his pulse.”
Miss Guo swallowed hard. "I only came out after his body had gone completely cold."
Xu Keke turned her head and rolled her eyes. When it came to the characteristics of her father's death, she wasn't afraid anymore. What a 'filial daughter'.
"Then what about the bronze sculpture you used to beat your father?" Chen Ming glanced at Xu Keke, signaling her to pay attention, before carefully asking Miss Guo.
"On my way here, I threw it into a stinky ditch. I was afraid I would remember where it was. I didn't look when I threw it in. I just stopped the car and threw it out."
Xu Keke couldn't help but say, "But if you run away now and someone finds out, and you're not home, isn't that the same thing?"
"That's why I panicked, wondering what to do. I was thinking of throwing the bronze sculpture away, and that's why I wanted to tell you. I didn't think much about it."
Miss Guo looked at Chen Ming with pleading eyes.
Xu Keke was deeply impressed by Chen Ming's mental fortitude. It was remarkable that he could remain so devoted to a woman who was both unattractive and morally flawed, demonstrating his professionalism.
She felt he should become a godfather or Buddha to save all women.
Seeing Chen Ming's continued gentleness and patience, Miss Guo was beyond words. She would give this man whatever he wanted.
But the man didn't ask her for anything. Instead, he said to her with concern, "There are many rooms here. I'll have my brother find you one. You rest for a bit, and I'll go check on things for you. Don't show yourself until we've decided."
To prevent her from having another problem, Xu Keke added sleeping pills to her milk.
Miss Guo lay in bed and quickly fell asleep.
Chen Ming didn't lie to her. He drove Xu Keke to the Guo family's residence in the city.
Looking at the raging thunder and rain outside, Xu Keke said irritably, "Why did we have to find such a master? It's raining at night, the best time to sleep."
"I asked you to wait for me, but you wouldn't." The rain was too heavy outside, and Chen Ming glanced at her while driving. He quickly looked ahead again.
"I was just worried about leaving you alone," Xu Keke said, yawning.
"Why don't you take a nap? There's a blanket behind you."
"No," Xu Keke shook her head, trying to clear her head. Ever since she adapted to her comfortable life, her body had begun to behave like a child's: easily sleepy and fond of eating.
To cheer herself up, Xu Keke asked the question she had been thinking about.
“When did I ever sell my body?” Chen Ming was very dissatisfied with her question. “If someone offered you a penny to smile at someone you didn’t like, you couldn’t do it. Ten dollars, a hundred dollars, or even a hundred million?”
Xu Keke scoffed, "I didn't expect you to be such a mercenary person, someone who'd give me a smile if I paid you money."
Chen Ming knew she was joking and laughed, "No one is more noble than anyone else. Dancers can sell their smiles, and men can also bow down for a pittance. Isn't it all for money?"
Xu Keke smiled; she knew his money wasn't for himself. It was the connection he'd had Conway establish; the pharmaceutical companies he'd been frequently contacting these past few days, claiming he wanted to do business in pharmaceuticals; even the vague messages in foreign telegrams.
If a person lives with conviction, then no matter the outcome, he will accept it with joy.
When their car was still some distance from the Guo family's house, it was stopped. The area had been cordoned off by the police.
From a distance, the Guo family's house appeared brightly lit.
Chen Ming, with his hypocritical face, tricked the police into saying, "There's been a murder inside."
Such a large-scale operation couldn't have been organized by ordinary people.
Xu Keke cursed. This Miss Guo is truly more trouble than she's worth.
Chen Ming turned the car around. "What do you suggest we do?"
Xu Keke looked at him and asked, "Do you have the guts to go find Brother Long?"
Chen Ming was slightly taken aback.
Xu Keke continued, "Send her out, and the factory will give her a monthly living allowance, but it can't be too much. The rest will go to Brother Long, he gets 70% and we get 30%, but we want the operating rights. I can't help you with that anymore, you'll have to negotiate with him yourself. If you reach an agreement, that's it; if you fail, I'll take care of your mess."
