Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 336: Growing Suspicion

Leaving the Gu Family’s villa, Li Yulan felt a bit less oppressed.

"Since you won’t keep me, I have plenty of ways to make you regret it! When you come begging to me, I hope you can be as carefree as you are today!"

Looking back at the villa she had lived in for many years, Li Yulan reached out to open the app, called a taxi, and left the area.

Half an hour later, the taxi stopped in front of a hotel, and Li Yulan got out of the car.

Not far away, a car was parked at the entrance of an adjacent restaurant.

After waiting for an unknown period, the man in the car, wearing a T-shirt, dialed Gu Zheng’s phone number: "Master, madam has checked into Hua Yue Hotel. She’s alone, no one else has entered that hotel with her."

Gu Zheng said: "Go book a room at Hua Yue, and have all necessary expenses reimbursed by the finance department later."

"Yes, master."

Hanging up the phone, the man called Xiao Chen got out of the car, turned around, walked into Hua Yue Hotel, and booked a room with his ID card.

He had been with Gujia Group for a long time but was still just a regular employee.

Luckily, he had a good eye, gained Gu Zheng’s favor, and secured a place for himself in the company.

But these alone weren’t enough; his wife was eight months pregnant, and soon she would be giving birth.

Once the child was born, expenses would increase day by day.

How could a family of three survive on his five or six thousand yuan salary in a place like City A?

He needed a lot of money; he wanted his wife and the child to be born to have a good life.

So, any opportunity Gu Zheng offered, he would seize tightly, never missing a moment.

Hua Yue Hotel has five floors, the front desk just said levels one to three were full, only premium suites on the fourth floor were available, which meant Li Yulan was on a floor below the fourth.

So, as long as he was attentive, he might soon get some useful information.

Li Yulan had never seen him; even if she did, she wouldn’t be suspicious.

Thus, his chances were better.

At midnight, Li Yulan’s room made a ’beep’ sound.

A man in a white shirt entered the room holding a room card: "Baby, I’m here."

His voice carried the characteristic grease of a middle-aged man, making people shiver just by hearing it.

Yet, despite this, Li Yulan still felt it was a heavenly sound, "Xiang Bei, you finally came! I thought you didn’t want me anymore..."

"How could that be?" Xiang Bei closed the door, made sure it was locked, then embraced the woman in front of him tightly: "I couldn’t possibly not want you, my darling!"

Li Yulan leaned against Xiang Bei’s chest: "Really? Don’t lie to me! Gu Zheng also said he’d treat me well for life! Look at things now... sigh!"

She sighed dramatically, her snow-white skin in the dark particularly tempting in Xiang Bei’s eyes.

Xiang Bei swallowed hard, ignoring Li Yulan’s words, just holding her soft waist and asking: "How do you maintain yourself so well? Hmm? I would believe you if you told me you’re thirty."

Though the compliment came at the wrong time, it was still pleasing to the ear: "Doesn’t your wife maintain herself well too? I’ve heard many people outside praise her good looks! With such a beautiful wife waiting at home, you’re quite ruthless coming out to meet me so late!"

"I’ve looked at her for decades, no matter how beautiful, there’s no more feeling." Xiang Bei tightly hugged Li Yulan’s waist, lowering his head to kiss her snow-white neck, his voice becoming somewhat low: "Besides, how could I leave you alone here? I can’t relax!"

Li Yulan was tickled, giggling as she pushed him away: "Don’t be in such a hurry! Let me ask you, what about that thing we talked about before?"

Xiang Bei was feeling hot inside; hearing Li Yulan’s question, though disappointed, the thought of the soon-to-be-realized plan with the Gu Family made him smile: "Don’t worry! Gujia Group already has problems, even if Gu Zheng handles it properly now, a bigger crisis awaits him not long after."

"What? You don’t trust me?"

Hearing this, Li Yulan shook her head: "How could I not trust you? I’m just a bit worried! After all, Gu Zheng is a sly old fox; otherwise, he couldn’t have gotten this far."

Xiang Bei dismissed it lightly: "He’s been smooth sailing for so many years; he’s not what he used to be. Otherwise, he wouldn’t just now be noticing something was wrong. There’s nothing to worry about!"

Li Yulan said nothing, just buried her head in Xiang Bei’s chest.

Seemingly sensing Li Yulan’s worry, Xiang Bei reached out, though there was a fire in his heart, he patiently patted her back: "Alright, don’t think about it, even if it doesn’t work out, you’re still the lady of the Gu Family, aren’t you? Oh right, why did you argue with Gu Zheng today?"

In the message she sent him, Li Yulan didn’t explain the reason.

But thinking of the scandal the Gu Family was involved in, it was likely that Li Yulan, out of a mother’s love, got into an argument with Gu Zheng.

After all, a stubborn old goat like Gu Zheng wouldn’t risk the entire Gu Family for this daughter by challenging the law.

"Wanwan fainted and is receiving treatment at the hospital. If her condition improves, she might have to go in too. I wanted Gu Zheng to come up with a plan, but he... never mind, I was blind to marry such a cold-blooded and ruthless person!"

If she had known it would be like this, it would have been better to choose Xiang Bei back then for happiness.

Hearing Li Yulan say this, Xiang Bei suddenly laughed lightly: "I told you to follow me twenty-something years ago, but you chose Gu Zheng instead; now you regret it!"

Li Yulan raised her head and lightly punched him on the chest: "Now I’ve given you the entire Gu Family, and you still say that to me, you’re heartless too!"

"I was just talking casually, don’t take it so seriously!" Xiang Bei looked at her moist eyes, couldn’t suppress the fire in his heart, and kissed her hard: "Be good, you’ll have me from now on."

Li Yulan was dazzled by this kiss, and only after a long while managed to regain some sense, propping herself up on Xiang Bei’s chest and gasping: "Gu Zheng seems to have sensed something, said I’m not allowed to go to the company anymore. Be careful, don’t be too brazen and get noticed."

Cut off by Li Yulan twice, the corners of Xiang Bei’s mouth revealed a cold smile: "Don’t worry, I have a trump card in my hand, even if Gu Zheng has three heads and six arms, he can’t escape this disaster!"

"Alright, I’ve finally come out, in this long night, wouldn’t it be nice to do something enjoyable?"

As he spoke, Xiang Bei picked up Li Yulan by the waist and threw her onto the bed...
