Chapter 476: Chapter 476: Tolerance Too Low
“`
“It was you, wasn’t it?”
I got straight to the point…
Gu Yuanzhou unbuttoned two more buttons of his shirt and poured another glass of red wine for .
“Drink with !”
“I don’t drink! Please answer my question.”
Gu Yuanzhou, holding the wine glass in one hand, took a seat at the table and smiled at ,
“Why do you always need an answer? You know, so questions simply don’t have answers.”
“Those people didn’t deserve to die. They could have been sent to jail, to face legal consequences…”
“They couldn’t be sent to jail. Legally speaking, the situation didn’t et the sentencing criteria, mainly because, after the appraisal, your injuries could only be considered minor…”
Gu Yuanzhou appeared very calm, speaking so fluently and transparently.
This also ant he had already looked into the matter.
And then made his decision after comparison.
“So, you took matters into your own hands and killed them?”
Gu Yuanzhou ca up behind and placed his hand on my shoulder,
“Ayun, this world is far more complex and darker than you imagine. Sotis, you need to be ruthless, to stop at nothing, in order to survive.”
I pushed his hand away, feeling increasingly that the man in front of was becoming stranger and more sinister.
He looked like Gu Yuanzhou but also didn’t.
The Gu Yuanzhou in my heart was a businessman, who might engage in so underhanded activities for business competition, but never took a life.
But now, his ruthlessness shocked .
Was he still him?
In the mont of my daze, hurried footsteps approached.
Turning around, I saw Lin Nansheng’s figure enter, and I instinctively kept an appropriate distance from Gu Yuanzhou.
Lin Nansheng seed to be worried, still on a phone call before entering…
After he hung up, I greeted him, “Uncle Lin!”
Lin Nansheng nodded,
“Xiaoyun, you’re here too!”
“Is Uncle Lin here to discuss business with Louis? If so, I’ll step out!”
I knew Lin Nansheng was speaking quite loudly, seemingly shifting business gradually over to Gu Yuanzhou.
Hence, I would proactively leave when it ca to business secrets that I shouldn’t hear.
After all, in Lin Nansheng’s eyes, I was not quite his biological daughter.
Yet as soon as the words left my mouth, he stopped .
“Wait, don’t go, Xiaoyun. From now on, when I discuss business with Louis, you can listen in… If you run into any difficult issues, you can also offer so advice to Louis. After all, it’s good to have mutual support.”
Lin Nansheng had sit next to the round table.
Gu Yuanzhou smoked and then glanced at sideways…
In the mont our eyes t, I caught the profound significance in the corner of his mouth.
I then said to Lin Nansheng, “How about we call Anqi over too?”
After all, Lin Anqi was Lin Nansheng’s biological daughter and was married to Gu Yuanzhou. It would be better for them to be together.
Lin Nansheng shook his head,
“Anqi has studied art since she was young; you ask her to play the piano, and she’s very accomplished. But when it cos to doing business, she definitely can’t handle it. She doesn’t understand.”
Gu Yuanzhou also comnted indifferently, “She’s not in good health, not suited to worry about such things!”
His words made sowhat angry!
Was I the only one suited to worry about things?
Forget it, I won’t argue with him.
Staying with this man, his words can always provoke .
Lin Nansheng patted the back of my hand,
“Anqi has never been in good health since she was young. I hope that you sisters can take care of each other.”
“`
“Uncle Lin, don’t worry, I will!”
Lin Anqi’s nature was kind and gentle, and if it weren’t for Gu Yuanzhou being in between, I might have treated her even better.
Next, Lin Nansheng started talking about business.
The matters of the business world, those are…
I was actually a bit distracted listening beside them, because according to Gu Yuanzhou’s personality, he wouldn’t like others ddling in his work.
However, I also roughly understood that Lin Nansheng wanted to acquire the largest plot of land in Beihai Bay to build a resort and amusent park, but now he was facing all kinds of blockades from his competitors.
The current strategies are fraught with difficulties, and the solutions tried before were no longer useful.
Gu Yuanzhou was smoking, and during Lin Nansheng’s talk, he remained silent without voicing a single opinion.
It wasn’t until Lin Nansheng finished speaking that he calmly said,
“I’ll handle it!”
Lin Nansheng looked at him skeptically,
“Our competitor this ti is the local snake boss Hegemon, who has been ruling A City for so many years. We won’t be able to easily defeat him.”
Gu Yuanzhou calmly said,
“To kill a snake, one must strike at its seven-inch mark. Everyone has a weakness, rest assured, I can handle it.”
Lin Nansheng said, “All right, I knew you would have a solution. I hope it can be done as soon as possible, as I’m worried that if it drags on, more complications will arise.”
“Rest assured!”
“Louis, are you short of staff on your side?”
“I need a female secretary!”
Gu Yuanzhou gave a aningful look.
“Tell what kind you need, and I’ll describe it for you.”
“Fair-skinned, beautiful, with long legs, aggressively attractive, and also needs to be savvy! Bright eyes, drinks alcohol, flirty, knows when to advance or retreat, and obedient!”
Gu Yuanzhou listed a lot of requirents all at once, and Lin Nansheng agreed very readily.
“Okay, tomorrow I’ll have my people prepare a list and send it to your email. You can interview them one by one.”
After giving instructions, Lin Nansheng left.
I actually had my doubts—would Lin Nansheng really find such a beautiful secretary for Gu Yuanzhou?
Wouldn’t he worry about Gu Yuanzhou being unable to control himself?
But, that isn’t sothing I should concern myself with.
In recent tis, Ding Yinuo continued to treat , and the injuries on my body slowly healed.
I didn’t know when, but those news articles about Ding Yinuo online had also disappeared…
During the weekend, when I was having a al with Wenya and others.
Wenya brought so new information.
“Did you know? The old lady of the Jiang Family got what was coming to her.”
I was picking up ribs with my chopsticks, and felt calm inside, “What happened?”
“It’s said that she had a stroke and is now paralyzed. She’s even being hospitalized at the First City Hospital!”
Jian Jing was gnawing on a pig’s trotter and added when she heard it,
“Isn’t the First City Hospital the one where Ding Yinuo works? What a coincidence?”
Wenya laughed while drinking beer,
“I say, it serves that old lady right. Not only did she raise a daughter who has done many evil deeds, but she herself, despite being old, still acted shalessly and hysterically. She wholeheartedly wanted to ruin the Ding Family, and all the misfortunes this family is suffering are well deserved.”
At this mont, I finally understood why all the negative news had disappeared. The person behind it all was in trouble, so naturally, no one was stirring things up anymore.
Jian Jing then said, “Now that so people in the Jiang Family are dead and others are injured, I’m just afraid of retaliation.”
“Retaliation?” I inquired doubtfully.
Wenya replied, “What retaliation? The Jiang Family doesn’t have many people left. Didn’t you hear that Jiang Jiaying is an only daughter?”
Jian Jing shook her head, “Not quite! It’s said she has a sister studying abroad! The Jiang Family is rich, a large clan! Jiang Jiaying’s father and his two brothers make for quite a few male cousins in her family. It’s just a matter of whether they wish to seek revenge or not. If they truly wish for revenge, the opportunity is always there…”
Wenya said, “That’s true, now that you ntion it, I’m starting to feel a bit uneasy.”
With that statent from Wenya, Jian Jing suddenly felt uneasy. She nudged with her elbow and whispered,
“Ayun, see that man over there? I think he’s been following us for a long ti. When we were shopping at the mall earlier, he was behind us, and now that we’re eating, he’s here too…”
