Contract Marriage: Billionaire and His Deaf Wife-Chapter 1087: In Old Age (Part 6)

"Do you know who I’m talking about?"

Hu Jialu quickly held back his words: "I only heard about it this morning and was just planning to report this to the chairman while I was here."

"In that case—" Gu Nuan turned away from him and said to the others, "Lawyer Chang, let’s report this to the police. After all, everything has been explained clearly to Mr. Hu first."

Hu Jialu’s face twitched, and his eyes seemed to nonchalantly glance to the side. Seeing Lawyer Chang actually take out his phone to call a familiar police officer, he couldn’t control his mouth anymore and said, "Before this person disappeared, I often saw him for a period of time. Because he drove on the same road I frequently took to and from work, I found it strange, wondering when he had moved."

Gu Nuan shook the tail of the ballpoint pen in her hand: "Mr. Hu, your words have truly broadened my imagination. Can this person disappear on the main road?"

"Chairman Gu doesn’t know that, sometimes, for convenience, when I drive after work, I also stop by a repair shop on the road for maintenance."

Seeing the conversation reach this point, everything was really being laid bare. Hu Jialu took out a handkerchief to wipe the sweat off his forehead.

Gu Nuan had seen enough by now. People could really be strange, all sorts existed.

Someone like Hu Jialu should be considered the most noncommittal kind.

If anyone allied with this person, they’d surely be unlucky. Of course, that’s because he trusts no one but himself.

"Is Mr. Hu being falsely accused?"

"Yes."

"Do you know why those people framed Mr. Hu?"

Hu Jialu seemed to know nothing.

Gu Nuan said, "Because Mr. Hu is recognized by Chairman Xiao and me as a person of great potential and ability, someone who can be entrusted with significant responsibilities. Others are therefore envious and jealous of Mr. Hu."

Sweat continued to bead on Hu Jialu’s forehead. Why did he feel so guilty?

He’s a man who might have ambitions but also knows he lacks the capability. No, he’s just surviving in a crevice.

"Chairman Gu holds me in high regard, which is truly my honor in three lifetimes. However, as long as Chairman Gu believes I didn’t do those things, I, Hu, am already content." He bowed his head as if pleading.

"Please don’t underestimate yourself, Mr. Hu. In fact, given your seniority in the company, you deserve the position of a senior executive. But Mr. Hu, being too low-key, is actually not a good thing. Especially now when the company needs people."

"Yes, what Chairman Gu said is right." Hu Jialu wiped his sweat again, unable to distinguish which of Gu Nuan’s words were true or false. No, he couldn’t figure out what this woman was thinking, leaving his mind in chaos.

Thus, hadn’t he already told others? Never directly confront this woman because no one knows her true intentions, just like dealing with a dangerous pregnant woman.

But how could even a pregnant woman be so full of energy, suddenly launching an offensive before the New Year?

He feared that he was getting bewildered by this attack, just like the others, floundering like headless flies.

"Mr. Hu, you could rise to a level equal to Mr. Chen."

Hu Jialu abruptly raised his head, looked at her, then at Chen Jiaming.

Chen Jiaming didn’t seem to show any expressions of concern.

"Chairman Gu—I—"

"Afraid of what people in the company might say? Don’t worry, I’ve already arranged everything for Mr. Hu. I have a new development project underway. Appointing Mr. Hu as the main person in charge of this development project. Mr. Hu can just sit back and enjoy the results by then."
