Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
On the surface, Gu An was fawning over Gu Chen, but he hated him to death in his heart.
Originally, he had already found someone to go to jail in place of Xia Chun, but Gu Chen stopped him. He couldn’t get Xia Chun out no matter what.
As a last resort, he could only play this scene with Gu Chen.
“Second Uncle, you’re indeed a true lover. You’re already so old, but you still can’t let go of your first love. Don’t worry, I’ll release Xia Chun once it’s over.”
Gu Chen taunted.
Gu An sneered in his heart. Gu Chen had gone through so much trouble for a woman. Gu Chen even used a scheme, yet he still had the cheek to laugh at Gu
An.
Shen Xi used two days to sort out all the account books and information. Just as she was about to submit them, Chen Yu came to the door.
“Xi, let me show you something.”
Chen Yu took out his phone and played the video in front of Shen Xi. He said, “l spent two days looking at all the surveillance cameras in the construction site and took out the footage.”
“Why do you have these?” Shen Xi asked.
“When the Ninghai Project was still in the bidding process, Guan Lei got Chen family involved. He said that the Gu family’s method of eliminating dissidents was very likely to target the Shen and Su families. Therefore, I had people secretly install surveillance cameras at the Chen family’s construction site. I don’t trust the public surveillance cameras there.” Chen Yu said truthfully.
Then, Chen Yu smiled and said, “l didn’t expect it to come in handy. Guan Lei was a far-sighted person. At that time, he had already noticed something wrong with the Gu family. I have to admit that he suits you better than I do.”
“Guan Lei?” Shen Xi heard Chen Yu’s words and her eyes flashed with astonishment.
“Yeah.” Chen Yu nodded and continued, “l didn’t expect you to actually forget him. I’m a little surprised. I’m not the kind of person who would kick someone when they’re down. Xi, believe me, Gu Chen is not trustworthy. You must not trust Gu Chen. I’d rather you choose Guan Lei, then I’d be willing to lose.”
Shen Xi thought of the blurry figure who reminded her about potential problem with the Ninghai Project. A strange emotion lingered in her heart.
It was a feeling of betrayal.
“l understand. Thank you!” Shen Xi said sincerely.
After Chen Yu left, Shen Xi backed up all the information and sent it to the investigation team.
The previous situation was instantly reversed.
At this time, their focus had changed to identify the authenticity of two sets of account books.
After a few days of investigation, Shen Xi heaved a sigh of relief. However, she suddenly received a call from Gu An.
Shen Xi was not surprised at all.
After all, if this matter was exposed and Shen Yan was fine, Gu An would inevitably be implicated. After all, he was the mastermind on the surface. As soon as Shen Xi picked up, Gu An shouted, “Ms. Shen Xi, take back those documents. We can talk things out.”
“Mr. Gu, how interesting. How could I possibly take them back?” Shen Xi laughed, “That’s to do with my father’s innocence.”
“l can help your father get out of this. As long as you take them back, anything can be discussed.” Gu An’s voice was heard.
The suppliers of Shen Xi were backed by some government officials. The Gu family had never expected this.
It turned out that Shen Xi had set up a trap.
Since the account book was provided by the suppliers, they would have to prove their innocence, Therefore, they would do their best to prove the innocence of the Shen Corporation for their own interests.
“Shen Xi, don’t refuse a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit.” Gu An said coldly.
“Mr. Gu, forgive me for being unhelpful. I have no ability to take them back at all. Do you really think those people from the investigation team are useless? Or do you think that I could order them around? Do you think that I can do whatever I want?” Shen Xi sneered.
“Alright, since you’ve put it this way, I can only do it my way. Don’t regret it!” Gu An said coldly.
Shen Xi thought that Gu An would attack her or her family.
However, the next day, Qian Tong came looking for her anxiously.
“Ms. Shen Xi, can you save Master Gu?” Qian Tong said anxiously. “What happened to Gu Chen?” Shen Xi asked almost out of reflex..
