Chapter 482: Leaving the Alley
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Under the light, the few of them stood in the shadows and did not move. He quickened his pace, wanting to go home.
However, the words of the few people on the way kept replaying in his mind. He suddenly hesitated.
Just as he was thinking about whether he should go home, his cell phone suddenly vibrated. The familiar number on it made Huang Jun hold his cell phone tightly.
He subconsciously turned around and looked around. Ever since he came out of the alley, he had a feeling that someone was following him, but when he turned around, he could not see anyone.
There was only the pitch-black night.
“Huang Jun, why aren’t you back yet? Are you delayed by work?”
“Auntie, 1 still have to work overtime. I’ll go back later.”
After Huang Jun finished speaking, he hurriedly hung up. He stuffed his phone into his coat pocket and stood by the roadside without moving.
His explanation to his aunt was that he was working as a white-collar worker in a company, but he was actually just a restaurant attendant.
Unfortunately, he had no background and could not find a decent job.
Now that he had been targeted by an unknown person, he stood rooted to the ground for a long time. When there was no more movement behind him, he raised his feet and walked into the neighborhood.
Not long after Huang Jun entered the neighborhood, a few men came out from the shadows under the tree. They looked at the neighborhood in front of them and noted it down. Then, one of the men took out his phone and made a call.
Soon, the other party picked up and a familiar voice came from the other end of the line. “How’s it going?”
“It’s the Jinhui District. The security here is very strict, so we can’t enter.” The man did not have the arrogance he had when facing Huang Jun and explained carefully.
But even so, there was still a scolding from the other end. “Idiot, you can’t even do such a small thing. I really gave you so much money for nothing.”
The man fell silent, not knowing what to say. He could only let the person on the other end of the cell phone curse.
When their anger was almost extinguished, the person on the phone reacted and asked curiously, “Where does the man you guys followed work at? How can he afford to live there?”
“I think he’s just an attendant at a restaurant.” The man immediately responded actively, wanting to make up for his mistake.
There was a long silence on the other end of the phone. She sounded even more puzzled. “Since he’s just an attendant at a restaurant, how can he afford to buy a house there? He can’t be working there, right?”
“We don’t know, but he did enter the neighborhood,” the man replied truthfully as he looked at the neighborhood.
“Alright, continue following him. Give me an answer tomorrow.” With that, the man on the other end of the line hung up. He casually threw his phone on the bed. Qu Bei, who was beside him, took her cell phone and looked at the call history.
She asked the question in her heart in confusion, “Jinhui District?”
Gu Yuan glanced at her actions and hugged her waist with one hand. “It’s a place where an inch of land is as expensive as gold. The people who live there are all powerful.”
Qu Bei revealed a surprised expression and covered the corner of her mouth with her painted fingers. “Could Gu Man really be a sugar baby? Then she’s really impressive. She can even get close to a few men at the same time.”
At the mention of that name, Gu Yuan revealed a disgusted expression and almost subconsciously said, “Don’t mention that unfilial daughter in front of me. After all, I’ve raised her for so many years. She doesn’t know how to repay kindness at all and only knows how to cause trouble for our Gu family.”
Qu Bei leaned obediently on Gu Yuan’s chest, but from an angle that Gu Yuan could not see, the corners of her lips curled into a smug smile. “That child is indeed insensible, but the matter has already been resolved. She’s still a member of the Gu family. It’s better to bring her back and teach her a lesson so that she won’t embarrass our Gu family outside.”
Qu Bei said meaningfully, and Gu Yuan fell into deep thought.
When this scourge was out, his heart would not be able to rest even for a single moment. He was afraid that Gu Man would cause trouble for him again. Their Gu family could not withstand another upheaval.
Moreover, Old Master Zhang had also given them an ultimatum. If it happened again, they would definitely not help. With the Gu family’s current strength, they would definitely not be able to withstand it..
