Chapter 58 Shocking
No one knew what had happened, but Gu He had been in the office for a day and a night.
The door was locked and no one answered when I knocked. All the company meetings were postponed and the signing of documents had to be postponed.
Just as more and more people were alarmed and Chairman Gu came to the company in person and was about to have someone break the lock and force his way in, the door was opened from the inside.
Gu He walked out with a pale face, his shirt full of wrinkles, messy hair, unshaven beard, and he looked extremely haggard, completely different from the elegant image everyone imagined.
Amidst everyone's surprise, only Qin Ruo's heart skipped a beat, and her bad premonition grew stronger and stronger.
She had seen Gu He in a similar state.
During the period after Qin Qing's death, he was even more depressed than he is now.
But for some reason, the moment she met Gu He's gaze, Qin Ruo was shocked by the strangeness and disappointment in it, and unconsciously took a step back.
Chairman Gu frowned, very dissatisfied with Gu He's behavior: "What are you doing? You are such a grown man, but you don't act like a company president at all!"
Gu He retracted his gaze and bowed his head to apologize: "Sorry, I will take care of it."
Seeing that he seemed to have adjusted himself, Chairman Gu scolded him a few words, but ultimately did not interfere too much and left on his own.
The other onlookers were also dispersed, and soon only the assistant and Qin Ruo and Gu He were left.
"Go through the backlog. Send the urgent ones in five minutes, and postpone everything else. I only have half an hour, so prioritize."
Upon hearing this, the assistant quickly agreed and ran off to do it.
As the assistant left, the area around the office fell into complete silence.
In the eerie silence, Gu He looked at Qin Ruo, his eyes filled with an incomprehensible complexity that was frightening.
Qin Ruo didn't know what was going on, so she tried to put on a smile: "Brother He..."
"Come out with me later." Gu He interrupted her, "I have something to talk to you alone."
The color faded from Qin Ruo's face. Although Gu He didn't use a harsh tone, the fact that he spoke to her so calmly made her even more uneasy.
But she had no better choice.
Without knowing what is happening, running away won't solve anything.
So after a brief consideration, Qin Ruo nodded: "Okay, I understand."
She needs to find out why Gu He became like this first so that she can prescribe the right medicine.
Qin Ruo took a deep breath and calmed herself down as quickly as possible.
Time passes quickly, yet seems very long.
For Gu He, these thirty or so minutes were a torture every moment.
After finishing the urgent matters at hand, he stood up and called Qin Ruo who was waiting outside and left the company.
He wanted to deny those things, but the evidence was right in front of him and he couldn't pretend not to see it.
In the end, he became what he least wanted to see, and he could no longer deceive himself.
So even if he doesn't want to face it, he will have to deal with it sooner or later.
What he wanted to say was very important, so Gu He did not choose a place outside, but took Qin Ruo directly back to his nearby apartment.
As soon as they entered the door, before Qin Ruo changed her shoes, Gu He asked directly: "Before, Yun Ran had a car accident, did you know about it?"
Qin Ruo suddenly stopped when she didn't expect that he was talking about this matter.
Her first reaction was panic. Qin Ruo heard the sound of her own heart beating violently, and was swept over by an unprecedented panic.
