"Mr. Gu." The assistant was reporting on his work when he was startled by the angry Gu Lingfeng.
Gu Lingyun closed the folder and handed it to his assistant. "It's okay. Go ahead and do as you said."
"Yes." After taking the documents, the assistant walked out. "Goodbye, Mr. Gu."
Gu Lingfeng forced a stiff smile, "Well, goodbye, Assistant Ren."
As soon as the assistant closed the door, Gu Lingfeng rushed to the desk. "Brother! I heard from Mom that you agreed to the marriage with the Ye family! What's going on? Is there a problem with the Gu family and they need you to arrange a marriage?" After thinking for a moment, he said, "Did Dad force you to do it? I'll go find him right away!"
Gu Lingyun grabbed Gu Lingfeng, who was about to leave, and narrowed his eyes. He was very touched by his brother's concern. "Nothing's wrong, and Dad didn't force me. I'm not young anymore, and I'll get married sooner or later. Isn't it a good opportunity to form a strong alliance with the Ye family?"
"A powerful alliance?! Don't tell me you don't know the Ye family is in trouble! The old man is dying, and the brothers are fighting fiercely over the family property. Why are you getting involved in this mess? Besides, although the Ye family is good, it's still far inferior to the Gu family. A marriage will not benefit the Gu family in any way!"
Gu Lingyun smiled and said, "I didn't expect you to understand it so clearly."
Gu Lingfeng secretly rolled his eyes. Indeed, he had just asked his good brother about these things on the way here. "Tell me! Why did you agree to the marriage?"
Gu Lingyun leaned back in his chair leisurely and thought seriously for a moment, "Miss Ye is very beautiful."
"..." Gu Lingfeng almost couldn't breathe, his face full of disbelief, "Are you serious??!"
"Um."
"Have you seen her?"
"It was just a chance encounter."
"love at first sight?!"
"Not really, we're quite compatible."
Gu Lingfeng narrowed his eyes, imitating his brother's, and stared at Gu Lingyun with a look that said, "Do you think I'm a fool?" He didn't believe Gu Lingyun's nonsense. How could a man in his thirties agree to marry someone just because he'd only met her once and she was beautiful?!
And even if Gu Lingyun thought Miss Ye was beautiful, he could have pursued her first. Is it necessary to arrange a marriage? What if the two of them ended up together and felt that they were not suitable?
"Let's go and have dinner." After rubbing Gu Lingfeng's head, Gu Lingyun grabbed his cell phone and walked out first.
Gu Lingfeng was still wondering why his brother had agreed to the marriage. He had a hunch that there was something fishy going on, but he couldn't figure it out. He knew asking his brother wouldn't get him to tell him anything. From childhood to adulthood, he had never gotten anything out of his brother that he didn't want to talk about. And once his brother made a decision, he wouldn't change it easily.
Gu Lingfeng followed Gu Lingyun to the restaurant in a daze. Not far away was the western restaurant downstairs of Gu’s.
When the tender steak was served, Gu Lingfeng put aside the confusion and cut a piece into his mouth. "Delicious."
"Yeah, it's really good. We've changed the chef."
"No wonder, I said it didn't taste so good before." Just as he finished speaking, the phone rang. It showed XX Police Station. Gu Lingfeng frowned and picked up the phone.
"Hello, who is this?"
"Hello, is this Gu Lingfeng?"
"Yes, may I ask who you are?"
"This is the XX police station. Do you know Zhao Si?"
Gu Lingfeng hesitated for a moment, wanting to say he didn't know her, but after thinking about the other person's identity, he answered truthfully, "...So I know her?"
The voice on the phone suddenly became excited, "Okay! Then can you come to our police station to pick him up?"
"Excuse me, did he do something wrong? I'm not that familiar with him..."
"No, no! I just asked some routine questions. I know you two aren't close friends, but he doesn't know anyone else besides you, so he needs you to come."
"...Can I refuse?"
"It's better not to refuse." The voice on the phone was very kind, even gentle, but Gu Lingfeng felt it was very dangerous!
"...Okay, I'll be right there."
"Okay! Bye."
"goodbye."
After hanging up, Gu Lingfeng, skeptical, went to Baidu to search for the landline number, hoping it was a scam. Seeing that he spoke respectfully and looked a little depressed, Gu Lingyun asked him, "What happened?"
Gu Lingfeng shook his head, glanced at the answer he found on Baidu, and resigned himself to his fate by chomping down on the remaining steak. "It's okay, brother. Take your time. I have something to do, so I'll leave first!"
