Then I can spend the whole day with my stepdad!
Investigating the addresses of those emails is not an easy task; at least the other party seems to be very cautious, and each address seems to be a feint.
At least Lin Ziming hasn't been found yet.
After sending the child back, Gu Zheng went straight to the company. If it weren't for the fact that picking up the child every day would allow him to see Xia Ran more often, he probably wouldn't have left the company.
Because there have been some troublesome things at the company lately, and he has to be there to solve each one.
Even Gu Zheng realized that this was the work of someone with ulterior motives, but he had not yet found out who it was.
Just when he was in a state of utter chaos, the person he had sent to monitor Gu En called.
Gu Zheng picked it up casually, but his eyes remained fixed on the document in his hand.
"President, Gu En said she wants to speak with you and that she has some things she wants to discuss with you."
Gu Zheng looked up at his phone. "Give him the call."
He had already forgotten about Gu En after what had happened in the past two days, but he didn't expect Gu En to call him on her own initiative.
"Gu Zheng, it's me." Gu En's tone was very calm, and she even called Gu Zheng by his name directly, instead of calling him "Zheng" as she used to.
"What is it?" Gu Zheng asked indifferently, even with a hint of impatience.
On the other end, Gu En tried his best to control his emotions. At this moment, he could not lose his composure or give himself away.
"Gu Zheng, I've come to a realization over this period of time. Since you no longer like me, there's no need for me to pester you anymore. But you have to withdraw your subordinates."
“I let them look at me before because I was thinking about what I did wrong. Now I understand, so let them go.”
"What you're doing is essentially imprisoning me. If I call the police, you won't get away with it either. Of course, don't think I'm being unreasonable. Give me five million, and we'll call it even."
Gu En understands Gu Zheng too well. If he doesn't want anything, Gu Zheng will suspect that he has ulterior motives.
If he were to propose conditions, Gu Zheng wouldn't give them much thought.
Sure enough, after hearing Gu En's words, Gu Zheng asked a question.
"Are you sure you've thought this through and won't do anything to Xia Ran again?"
Gu En, on the other end of the phone, was filled with jealousy and anger, but her tone remained calm.
"Otherwise what? What else is there that I can't understand? Anyway, I know you'll never like me, so why should I keep pestering you? I'll just consider my feelings from back then as something I wasted."
"It's a pity that if I hadn't been so stubborn back then and insisted on leaving, perhaps none of this would have happened, and we would still be the same as before."
Gu Zheng remained silent and did not respond to Gu En's words.
He knew that if Gu En hadn't left back then, the person beside him now would indeed be Gu En, not Xia Ran.
"There are no 'what ifs,' things are as they are now," Gu Zheng said calmly.
In fact, Gu Zheng was quite glad that Gu En left back then; otherwise, he would never have met Xia Ran.
If he hadn't met Xia Ran, he would never have known what it felt like to truly like someone.
Therefore, he was very glad that Gu En left back then.
“There are no ifs,” Gu En said, feigning calmness. “So you should get your people out of here as soon as possible, give me some money, and I’ll leave to live somewhere else.”
"No matter what, I am the child's biological father. I am happy to see him growing up happily. It's good for him to be with you. If he were with me, he probably wouldn't have a good life. Okay, I'm hanging up. You better send me the money to get someone to leave, or don't blame me for calling the police. In that case, no one will get the better end of it."
After saying that, Gu En hung up the phone immediately, as if she really didn't want to have anything to do with Gu Zheng anymore.
But the very next second after hanging up the phone, he threw everything in his hand to pieces.
"Xia Ran, Xia Ran, it's Xia Ran again! What's so great about that Xia Ran? Why does he deserve such good treatment from you? Why?!"
Gu En's face was extremely ugly, and he couldn't hide the jealousy in his eyes. Of course, he didn't need to hide it at all now.
He was extremely unhappy. Why was Gu Zheng treating him like this? He was the one who had been by Gu Zheng's side for so many years. If it weren't for him, Gu Zheng would have...
Thinking of what happened back then, Gu En's expression changed unpredictably.
I wonder if we can still find anything that woman left behind. If we can find those things, then he'll have plenty of ways to get Gu Zheng to compromise with the child.
Of course, the most important step now is to make Gu Zheng lower his guard, only then can he start preparing for other things.
Chapter 322 is not good for you
He would never let Xia Ran go. Even if he died, he would take Xia Ran with him. After all, Xia Ran had taken everything from him!
Gu Zheng looked at the phone that Gu En had hung up on, thought about Gu En's actions for a moment, and then made an internal call to have his assistant come in.
Judging from Gu En's reaction just now, it seems that he has indeed let go.
Moreover, just as Gu En said, he couldn't have someone following Gu En indefinitely. If Gu En called the police, he wouldn't be seriously punished, but he would still face some trouble.
"President, what are your orders?" the assistant asked as soon as he entered.
Gu Zheng: "Where is Qin Hao?"
Assistant: "He said he had something to discuss with the president of the Lin Group."
Gu Zheng remembered that Qin Hao had mentioned wanting to learn how to manage a company from Lin Yi.
"Then go and transfer five million to Gu En's account first, and then have someone withdraw it."
The assistant also knew about Gu En's situation.
This assistant is 100% loyal to Gu Zheng, so there's absolutely no need to worry about leaking any secrets.
The assistant nodded in agreement. "Then, President, should we call Mr. Qin back?"
"No need, you can go out first, I can find him myself."
"yes."
The assistant left immediately, and Gu Zheng picked up his phone and called Qin Hao.
"Hey bro, what's wrong?"
Qin Hao's voice sounded strange on the phone; it was as if he was eating something while talking to him.
Gu Zheng's brows furrowed almost instantly.
"Where?"
"I had dinner with Lin Yi outside and asked him about some company management matters. I told you about this before, have you forgotten?"
Qin Hao ate with gusto. He had originally come to learn from Lin Yi, but Lin Yi insisted on going to eat as soon as they met, so he had no choice but to come along.
It's fortunate that he came along, because the food at the place Lin Yi found was absolutely delicious!
Gu Zheng snorted coldly, "Having dinner with him? Be careful he doesn't eat you up. Send me the address."
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
Qin Hao, on the other side, was holding his phone, somewhat bewildered.
What was his brother just saying? What did he mean by saying Lin Yi ate him?
"What's wrong?" Lin Yi asked, looking at Qin Hao's bewildered expression.
Qin Hao swallowed the food in his mouth, then answered with a blank expression.
"I don't know what's wrong with my brother, he's talking in such a sarcastic way, but I need to send him the address now, he seems to be coming over, you shouldn't mind, right?"
While Qin Hao was saying these words, he had already started typing a message to Gu Zheng.
Lin Yi looked on, a hint of helplessness in his eyes.
"Didn't you already send it? Why are you asking for my opinion?"
"Hahaha..." Qin Hao chuckled awkwardly. "Actually, I think you're fine too. After all, you're willing to teach me how to manage the company, so you probably don't mind my brother listening in."
Actually, Qin Hao was a little guilty, but after spending time with Lin Yi, he felt that Lin Yi was not so unapproachable, which is why he became more and more unrestrained.
Of course, this also shows that he considers Lin Yi a friend.
"Ha... I mind your brother sitting in on the conversation? Do you think your brother needs to sit next to me and listen in?"
Lin Yi's words made Qin Hao chuckle twice more.
"Haha, why not? You also have things my brother needs to learn."
Lin Yi sighed silently and decided not to bring up the topic with Qin Hao anymore.
"What did your brother just say to you? What sarcastic remarks?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Hao couldn't help but get angry and blurted out his words without thinking.
"It's my brother. He's mentally ill. He just called me and asked where I was. I told him about having dinner with you, and he said to me, 'Be careful, you might eat me.'"
"Tell me, isn't this just being sarcastic? If you really don't want me to come out, just say so. Why say things like this? Sigh, I guess I'm not their biological child after all."
Qin Hao said with a helpless expression. If he weren't eating with chopsticks in his hand, he would have really wanted to shrug and make a helpless gesture.
However, after hearing his words, Lin Yi coughed, as if he had choked.
Qin Hao stared intently at Lin Yi, who had covered her mouth with a tissue and whose face was slightly flushed from coughing, and said,
"Eat slowly, this is spicy hot pot, it's really uncomfortable if you choke on it. Drink some ice water, it will help."
As he spoke, he handed Lin Yi the water bottle that was next to him.
Lin Yi took it and drank a few sips; his throat did feel much better.
"How are you feeling? Much better, right?"
Qin Hao's eyes showed more concern for his friend. Mainly, his attitude towards Lin Yi had changed a lot. Of course, more importantly, he felt that Lin Yi's personality was indeed different from the rumors.
After spending so much time together, he found that Lin Yi was quite a good friend.
Even amidst his busy schedule, he still needs to take time to teach this novice.
"Much better."
I wonder what Lin Yi's reaction would be if he knew what Qin Hao was thinking.
Similarly, if Qin Hao knew that Lin Yi was being so nice to him because she wanted to... you know... with him, I wonder what his reaction would be.
Gu Zheng was also surprised that Lin Yi would come to these hot pot restaurants to eat.
However, Gu Zheng quickly realized that Lin Yi was definitely trying to please Qin Hao.
