Fire Chief vs. Surgeon: A Tale of Relentless Pursuit-Chapter 739 Everyone is Falling from Grace
Jiang Ye hadn’t had much interaction with this person, but he was clear about Gu Xitang’s character--cunning and deceitful, one who wouldn’t wake up early without the promise of profit.
From the funds that had been transferred out of his account, if it wasn’t something he had personally approved, then what else could it be?
But if that was the case, it still didn’t make sense.
Who would be so foolish as to use their own account for illegal activities?
Wouldn’t it be easy to use someone else’s account or an overseas account?
The more he thought about it, the more he felt something was off. 𝒇𝙧𝙚𝓮𝙬𝙚𝓫𝒏𝓸𝓿𝓮𝒍.𝓬𝙤𝓶
Just as Jiang Ye was deep in thought, his phone rang.
"Hello?"
"I’ve found out. Gu Xitang is currently in M country, he’s been there for a week now, and he’s returning to Jing City by plane the day after tomorrow."
He’s not in the country?
"Can you find out what he’s doing abroad?"
"It’s been reported, wait, I’ll send it to you."
"Okay."
As the phone call ended, a message had already popped up on WeChat.
Jiang Ye opened it and immediately saw Gu Xitang’s figure at an international wine event abroad.
Then came the second message, the third message...
Who was Jiang Ye?
After seeing all of Gu Xitang’s activities, he almost guessed it.
Clearly, the legitimate eldest son of the Gu Family’s second branch had secretly broken away from the Gu Family a long time ago.
And his private development was not bad at all.
To this, Jiang Ye didn’t feel threatened at all.
The Jiang Family and the Gu Family had no quarrels, as far as he knew, and he had even less contact with the second branch.
This matter had to be thoroughly investigated.
However, there was definitely no time to deal with this now, as a head was sticking out of an upstairs window watching him.
Jiang Ye’s originally icy expression suddenly relaxed, and he even smiled.
He opened the door and got out of the car.
He looked up briefly, then strode upstairs.
...
At home, how could Lu Jing have known it would be such a coincidence?
She was just coming to the balcony to gather the laundry when, by chance, she looked down and saw someone sitting in the car for a long time without getting out.
Of course, she didn’t watch for long before being noticed.
She had to admit, that person had really strong observational skills.
Tsk-tsk.
Ten seconds later, the front door was unlocked from the outside with a key.
Lu Jing unintentionally tilted her head, still holding the laundry on her wrist.
Jiang Ye entered:
"What were you doing? Sticking your head out and looking around?"
Lu Jing tsks:
"Can’t I do that? Or are you afraid of being watched by me?"
Is there some secret shame to hide?
Jiang Ye’s mouth twitched:
"You can."
Whatever makes you happy.
Lu Jing hummed, carrying the clothes toward the man:
"Where have you been? Why did it take so long?"
And furthermore, she felt that his aura was not stable.
Something must have happened before!
But without evidence, she couldn’t say much more.
She was definitely suspicious.
Jiang Ye, however, was poker-faced:
"Just went out for a walk, had some things to explain to Jiang Huai."
He wasn’t fibbing.
It made no difference to Lu Jing whether she believed it or not; the man clearly did not intend to elaborate, and not even pliers would pry anything out.
Forget it.
She didn’t even want to know now.
"Here, your clothes, fold them yourself."
This pettiness was rather adorable.
Jiang Ye didn’t get angry but instead happily took the clothes:
"Fine, I’ll do it. Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Lu Jing cleared her throat:
"Sweep and mop the floor; the furniture is also dusty."
What wasn’t clear now?
Just get to work, no idle chatter.
"Then you go rest first?"
"No, I want to play on the tablet."
If it was rest, rest, rest all day, one would rot away.
