Gu Zheng's expression suddenly turned cold. This person dared to use this matter to make fun of him, so he had to be prepared to pay the price.
Gu Zheng waited with a cold face for that person to appear.
Several people passed by the stadium entrance, but after observing them, none of them seemed to be the person who had given him the note.
Time passed by unnoticed, and Xia Ran waited for Gu Zheng until almost one o'clock without seeing him return, so she couldn't help but worry.
He took his phone and went to the balcony of his room to call Gu Zheng.
When Gu Zheng received Xia Ran's call, his subconscious reaction was that he didn't dare to answer it.
After a while, he took a deep breath and answered the call.
He was just a little nervous and scared for a moment, but it's nothing. Xia Ran would never know.
Gu Zheng: "Hello."
"Zheng, when are you coming back? It's almost one o'clock." Xia Ran breathed a sigh of relief when she heard Gu Zheng answer the phone; thankfully, nothing bad had happened.
Gu Zheng paused for a moment, but did not immediately answer Xia Ran's question.
"Ah Zheng? What's wrong?" Xia Ran couldn't help but ask again.
"It's nothing. Didn't I tell you not to wait for me? Why aren't you asleep yet? Where's Xiao Chen? Is he still awake?"
Gu Zheng shook off his thoughts and asked in a low voice.
"No, Xiao Chen is already asleep. I'm still waiting for you. I... I want to wait for you to come back. I'm worried about you..."
Xia Ran's voice was very soft. He had been suppressing his feelings because Gu Zheng had said he couldn't give him love, so he didn't dare to say such things to Gu Zheng.
However, his relationship with Gu Zheng has changed recently, and he has gradually become more willing to say these kinds of things.
Gu Zheng was startled again, and a sense of annoyance suddenly arose in his heart.
He looked out the car window at the deserted streets and couldn't help but sigh.
"Okay, I'm done with my work, I'll head back now."
It seems to be just a prank; how could it possibly be Gu En?
It might have been done by one of Gu En's former friends, but why did he receive such a note but not appear? He needs to investigate that further.
Hearing Gu Zheng say that he was coming back now, Xia Ran's voice even became much lighter when she answered.
"Okay, I'll wait for you. Are you hungry? Do you want me to cook you some late-night snacks?"
Gu Zheng hadn't noticed until Xia Ran mentioned it, but now that he heard it, he actually felt a bit hungry.
"Okay, then I'll make some. I should be home in about half an hour."
It's about a 40-minute walk from here to home, but it's the middle of the night now and there are no cars on the road, so it should only take about 20 minutes to get home.
Xia Ran responded cheerfully once again.
After hanging up the phone, Gu Zheng glanced at the note, then put it in his pocket before driving home.
Unbeknownst to Gu Zheng, shortly after his car left, a white car appeared where he had parked.
Then, a man with a cast on his leg eagerly opened the door from the back seat of the car.
However, because of his leg injury, he came down very slowly, but it was not hard to see his eagerness.
The man in the driver's seat quickly opened the car door and got out.
"Slow down, do you want to ruin your leg? The doctor just said that your leg has some fractures and you need to rest properly."
The man who got out of the car immediately helped the person in the back seat out of the car.
If Gu Zheng were still here, he would definitely recognize this as the person he had been waiting for all night.
Gu En didn't hear the man's words at all; as soon as she got out of the car, her eyes quickly looked around.
But there wasn't a single car or even a single person around, especially since it was already past midnight.
Not seeing the person she wanted to see, Gu En's already pale face turned even more deathly pale.
"How could this be? How could he not come? Why didn't he come? Why wouldn't he come?"
Gu En muttered to himself, his hand holding the cane seemed to have lost its strength, and his eyes turned red, as if tears were about to fall from them.
The man, Ji Luo, frowned as he looked at Gu En.
He accidentally hit this person with his car today; it can't really be said that it was because of him.
This man named Gu En was walking on a stone staircase when he was probably distracted and fell down.
Below the stone steps was a road, which he happened to drive past.
If Gu En hadn't reacted quickly and stepped on the brakes when he fell, Gu En would probably have been crushed under his car.
The person fell and lost consciousness. He could only take the person to the hospital. The person had some abrasions, but the right leg was more seriously injured and required a cast and bed rest.
After the person woke up, he learned that the person's name was Gu En, and that the person was in a hurry to be discharged from the hospital. He had no choice but to bring the person here. Now, listening to Gu En's muttering, he was probably waiting for someone.
Chapter 94 Gu En's Ambition
But who are they waiting for?
However, this has nothing to do with him.
"Did you make an appointment with someone? If so, you can call him and explain."
Ji Luo felt that, judging from Gu En's appearance, the person he was meeting was probably someone quite important, and it was even possible that it was his girlfriend.
Hearing Ji Luo's words, Gu En's eyes reddened even more.
"No phone, no phone, he must not have come. If he had come, he would have been waiting for me here! He couldn't have left! He must not have seen the note I left for him!"
Gu En's emotions suddenly became very agitated, even somewhat frightening.
At least that's what Ji Luo thought; he felt the man's expression was far too insane.
"No, I have to go find him! I have to go find him!"
Gu En continued to cry as she spoke, and even tried to push Ji Luo's hand away, attempting to move forward.
If Ji Luo hadn't caught him, Gu En would probably have fallen to the ground by now.
Ji Luo said in a somewhat unpleasant tone,
“If you want to find someone, you have to take it slowly. Otherwise, if you go with this limp, you might break your leg halfway there. And what obstacles are you facing? Just give him a call and let him talk to you about it.”
"Also, don't you know where that person lives? You can wait until your leg is healed, or go find him tomorrow. It's already past midnight, you probably won't be able to find him if you go now."
After hearing Ji Luo's words, Gu En miraculously calmed down.
Yes, he can't go back like this.
He faked his death back then, so he needs a legitimate reason to go back. At the very least, he needs to find out why he did it that way back then.
Yes, it's too late today. Tomorrow, he'll just take a taxi back. He believes his brother loves him so much that he'll understand why he left back then.
He did that because he felt sorry for his brother.
After figuring things out, Gu En quickly started thinking about what to do tomorrow.
"Excuse me, sir, could you take me home? Also, I'd like to ask if you could help me find a private investigator to investigate someone?"
Gu En looked at Ji Luo, who was supporting him, with a pleading look in his eyes.
He genuinely felt that this man could help him.
After hearing Gu En's words, Ji Luo's eyes showed some suspicion, as if he were probing.
Now he's starting to suspect that this person approached him on purpose.
But what's the benefit of deliberately getting close to him? And what's the price of injuring a leg?
Ji Luo thought about it for a long time and finally decided to wait and see what this person was up to.
"I'm a private investigator. Who are you looking for?"
What he didn't say was that he was a famous private investigator in the area, and those who could hire him were generally either rich or powerful.
I don't even know if this guy in front of me has the money to pay me, but since I've run into him, I guess I'll just consider him unlucky.
"What?" Gu En was somewhat shocked. "You're a private investigator? What a coincidence?"
Ji Luo nodded. "So, who are you looking for?"
Gu En glanced at Ji Luo, and finally said that Ji Luo should take him back first, and then he would talk to him.
In fact, Gu En was also afraid that this person would not take him back after finding out who he was looking for. At this moment, he was afraid that he would not even be able to get a taxi.
Ji Luo nodded in agreement without saying anything in the end.
Gu En lives in a small rented apartment, a one-bedroom, one-living room type.
Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Gu En handed Ji Luo a bottle of mineral water before slowly beginning to speak.
"I...I...I want you to help me investigate Gu Zheng, the president of Gu's Group, and find out what his family situation is like now."
"As for the cost, don't worry, I can afford any amount."
Although he doesn't have much money right now, it won't be a problem once he goes back.
When Ji Luo heard Gu En's last sentence, his eyebrows twitched in surprise. He seemed to have sensed something different.
"Your name is Gu En? You want me to investigate Gu Zheng? You both have the surname Gu? Could it be that you two are related?"
As a private investigator, he knew very well what questions he should and shouldn't ask.
Like this question now, he really shouldn't have asked it, but for some reason he couldn't help but ask it.
Gu En had already anticipated this question when he decided to have this person help him investigate the Gu family.
"This should be my private matter. Does investigating the Gu family require knowing my relationship with them?"
Gu En would never say that he was Gu Zheng's younger brother, not even in name.
After all, he will still be with Gu Zheng in the future. If someone finds out about their relationship, things will become much more complicated.
Ji Luo raised an eyebrow and indeed did not ask the question again.
“Okay, but my fee is very high, 300,000 yuan. I can tell you everything about the Gu family’s current situation.”
