Chapter 57 After today, Gu Sheng recalled his past...
Looking back on what he did at the airport that day, Gu Sheng felt a strange sense of regret.
Why argue with Xia Yunzhou just for the sake of a momentary thrill?
Now it's good, he can't slack off anymore.
Aside from Wen Yan and Gu Sheng, no one else knows that Xia Yunzhou is the new bank president.
To others, the president of the Development Bank of City A is still Cheng Ruhui.
Those people found someone who looked seven-tenths like Cheng Ruhui from somewhere, and with makeup on, they were practically identical.
Cheng Ruhui's confidant disappeared along with him, and Xia Yunzhou, behind the scenes, directed a new "Cheng Ruhui" to reappoint new people to fill the vacancies.
Everything seemed to be proceeding smoothly, and afterwards, the fake "Cheng Ruhui" would peacefully "transfer" power to Xia Yunzhou.
Gu Sheng estimated that Xia Yunzhou would officially become the bank president in about a month, and the bank would not be affected in any way.
However, this has nothing to do with Gu Sheng.
Related to Gu Sheng, Xia Yunzhou entrusted Gu Sheng with the task of repairing the bank system.
Upon hearing this news, Gu Sheng suddenly felt a pang of longing for Cheng Ruhui.
At least Cheng Ruhui would never do that.
Xia Yunzhou seems to have specifically investigated Gu Sheng, or rather, he investigated all the important figures in the bank.
However, they paid special attention to Gu Sheng.
Upon receiving this task, Gu Sheng wondered if Xia Yunzhou knew that Gu Sheng was the one who sabotaged the system.
That's very likely.
In the server room, Gu Sheng pretended to be working hard to fix the system while his mind wandered aimlessly.
Actually, for Gu Sheng, repairing these systems was not difficult.
The reason he deliberately delayed was twofold: firstly, he wanted to keep giving the bank something to do; secondly, he had a gut feeling that if this was completed, Xia Yunzhou would assign him a new task.
Anyway, I definitely won't let him be idle.
Gu Sheng recalled what he had done. He had done the important things very discreetly and dealt with the messes that needed to be cleaned up, so it was unlikely that he would be found out.
Xia Yunzhou probably suspects Gu Sheng now, but hasn't found any concrete evidence.
Instead, Xia Yunzhou seemed to have misunderstood. He thought Gu Sheng hypnotized people through their eyes, but in fact, Gu Sheng could also hypnotize people through their voices.
Covering his eyes was not a problem for Gu Sheng.
Gu Sheng's thinking changed a month later.
A lot can happen in a month. For example, the bank manager might be replaced by someone you don't know.
There was some noise inside the bank, but it quickly disappeared, physically.
After that, no one dared to openly question the newly appointed bank president, Xia Yunzhou.
Gu Sheng spent a month finally "fixing" the system, mainly because he really couldn't delay any longer.
After repairing the system, Gu Sheng reluctantly went to report to Xia Yunzhou.
When Gu Sheng stood in Xia Yunzhou's office, he couldn't help but frown.
Unlike Cheng Ruhui, Xia Yunzhou didn't seem to have the demeanor of a bank president at all.
He never wears a suit.
Of course, not wearing a suit isn't the problem; the problem is that his attire is a bit too trendy.
Moreover, he also decorated the bank manager's office with a variety of colors.
When Gu Sheng arrived, he saw Xia Yunzhou wearing an off-shoulder T-shirt, black goggles, and exaggeratedly styled headphones.
Gu Sheng doubted whether Xia Yunzhou could hear him.
"The system has been fixed."
Xia Yunzhou answered quickly, it seemed that the earphone had not affected his hearing: "Really? It was fixed in a month? You're amazing."
For some reason, Gu Sheng felt that Xia Yunzhou was mocking him.
Xia Yunzhou noticed Gu Sheng's gaze towards the headphones and explained, "These are headphones."
Gu Sheng silently answered in his heart that he could tell.
"However, this is not an ordinary pair of headphones. These headphones will not affect my hearing; they will simply process the outside sounds and then transmit them into my ears."
Gu Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and remained silent.
Xia Yunzhou continued, "And these glasses are the same thing."
Looking at Xia Yunzhou's gear, Gu Sheng said, "Do you have some kind of hidden ailment? Is that why you hate having direct contact with people so much?"
Xia Yunzhou held up a finger and shook it: "No, I'm just keeping an eye on you."
Gu Sheng didn't expect Xia Yunzhou to be so blunt.
Gu Sheng raised an eyebrow: "Since you don't trust me that much, why not dismiss me? I have no objection."
Xia Yunzhou shook his head and said, "No, you are very capable, and I like capable people."
"However, I hope that your abilities can be used for my benefit."
Xia Yunzhou stood up, pointed to a line on the ground, and said, "Please move back a little and don't cross that line."
Gu Sheng stared at the yellow warning tape on the ground without moving. He said emotionlessly, "You seem to know me very well?"
If you didn't know him, you wouldn't have prepared so many things for him: glasses, headphones, and caution tape.
Xia Yunzhou tilted his head slightly: "No, quite the opposite. Of all the people, you are the one I understand the least."
Gu Sheng raised his eyebrows and said, "What I see seems to be different from what you said."
Xia Yunzhou leaned lazily against the table and looked at Gu Sheng, saying, "I have all the information on everyone. I can deduce the habits, preferences, and even what they will do next from their information."
He leaned forward slightly, his gaze fixed intently on Gu Sheng.
But you are different.
Xia Yunzhou tapped his fingertips lightly on the edge of the table twice: "Your files are very clean."
"So clean, it looks like it was meticulously designed."
He paused, as if thinking: "The truly dangerous people usually disguise themselves as 'ordinary' people."
He looked at Gu Sheng: "Do you understand what I mean?"
Gu Sheng gave a soft "heh": "So, you're warning me now?"
Xia Yunzhou stared at Gu Sheng and said, word by word, "No, I just hope I can trust you, just like I trust everyone else."
"You need to prove your loyalty."
Gu Sheng rolled his eyes inwardly. After going through all this trouble, all they wanted to do was assign him a task.
"What do you need me to do?" Gu Sheng asked directly.
Xia Yunzhou made a gesture to wait a moment, then walked to the computer and typed a few words.
Then Gu Sheng felt his phone vibrate a few times. He took out his phone to check and found that Xia Yunzhou had sent him a location.
Xia Yunzhou said, "It's simple. Go to this place and kill someone."
Gu Sheng didn't immediately see anything wrong with the address, but a phrase had flashed through his mind: "This is the headquarters of the L City Public Security Bureau."
Gu Sheng raised his head and asked, "L City Public Security Bureau?"
"Yes, I want you to kill the head of the L City Police Department."
Gu Sheng remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he had already rejected the task.
"The reason?" Gu Sheng asked.
Xia Yunzhou didn't hide anything and said, "We have a pharmaceutical company in L City, you know that, right?"
When Gu Sheng used Xiao Yi's computer before, he did notice that a large amount of money from the bank was flowing into a pharmaceutical company, but now he still looked puzzled: "Is this a new business of the bank?"
Xia Yunzhou shook his head: "Don't know? It's okay, you'll find out later."
"Now, all you need to know is that we have a pharmaceutical company in L City that is researching a technology that is crucial to the future development of humanity."
"However, the L City Police Department has repeatedly obstructed the research process."
Xia Yunzhou's face darkened: "The director of the L City Public Security Bureau is inflexible, too straightforward, and too secure in his position. Get rid of him and replace him with one of our people."
Gu Sheng thought silently: It's impossible to kill the director of the Public Security Bureau, but that pharmaceutical company is something that can be dealt with.
Any pharmaceutical company that Xia Yunzhou could name is definitely not a good company.
However, Gu Sheng replied without hesitation, "Okay, I understand."
The task was to prevent the Commissioner of Police from interfering with the pharmaceutical company's research.
Since the pharmaceutical company has disappeared, no one can influence it anymore, so there's no need to do this task.
Seeing Gu Sheng agree so readily, Xia Yunzhou began to hesitate: "Won't you reconsider?"
Gu Sheng looked at Xia Yunzhou with a serious expression and said, "Is there any need to consider this?"
For Xia Yunzhou, this was of course not worth considering, but for Gu Sheng, Xia Yunzhou was uncertain.
Xia Yunzhou was silent for a moment, then looked at Gu Sheng expressionlessly: "You'd better not do anything unnecessary."
Gu Sheng said innocently, "You're already so wary of me, how could I dare to do anything unnecessary?"
Xia Yunzhou stared at Gu Sheng, paused for a moment, and then said, "Then I'll wait for your good news."
After leaving Xia Yunzhou's office, Gu Sheng went to his own office.
This was the first time he had ever walked into his office.
The office is in the small building above the conference room. Luckily, this small building wasn't hit when the main building collapsed.
Gu Sheng's office looked like it hadn't been visited in a long time. Although it was cleaned very well, it felt deserted.
Gu Sheng walked around the office but couldn't find anything useful.
Not surprising at all.
After leaving headquarters, Gu Sheng returned to his residence.
He pieced together what he knew about the pharmaceutical company from memory.
That pharmaceutical company is called "Baiyu Biotechnology," and it is one of the world's top three pharmaceutical research and development companies.
Information about this company can be easily found online.
However, no matter how hard you investigate, you can't find any connection between this company and the Development Bank of City A.
No one would have guessed that these two companies were owned by the same person.
According to online information, this company mainly focuses on anti-aging drugs and has produced many star products. However, their products are generally expensive, so they are not well-known among ordinary people.
As for its relationship with the L City Police Department, no useful information could be found online.
Speaking of L City, isn't that the city where Du Wanxing lives?
Could the information Du Wanxing possess be related to Baiyu Biotechnology?
It's been a month since I last saw Xiao Yi and Wen Yan.
I wonder if Xiao Yi has successfully made contact with Wen Yan.
Gu Sheng silently wondered: Should I go and check on the situation?
Forget it. He's being closely watched by Xia Yunzhou right now, so he shouldn't do anything that might give him away.
