Rebirth! The Assassin's Revenge-Chapter 363: Who Is This Mysterious Person?

After leaving the hospital, Gu Zheng did not return to the company. He made a phone call and then went straight back home.

"Sir, you’re back. I’ll have someone prepare the meal..."

Gu Zheng didn’t even look at the butler and just walked upstairs, "No need."

The butler stared blankly at Gu Zheng’s back. Strange, didn’t he say he wouldn’t come back for lunch today?

At this time of day, why did he suddenly come back?

Ever since Gu Ningyue moved out, the two remaining children of the Gu Family got into trouble within a few months.

The house was already quiet during the day, and when Li Yulan also left, it became even quieter.

Thankfully, Gu Zheng didn’t come back, so meals didn’t need to be prepared.

Gu Zheng took a few steps into the bedroom and yanked open the white wardrobe standing inside.

Inside, a few dresses had appeared at some point, and at the bottom, a familiar iron box with a lock lay there quietly.

A cold glint flashed in Gu Zheng’s eyes. Li Yulan left and didn’t take it with her?

He figured out a way to open the box, and the old photos inside pierced his eyes.

Li Yulan had been with him for so many years and had borne two children. Yet she still cherished the photos with Xiang Bei as treasures, tucked away beneath her own photos in the box.

Fine, very fine.

He tipped everything out of the box in one go, rummaging through them as if searching for something, continuously sorting the photos aside.

Gu Ningyue said there was evidence he wanted in there, but apart from a few childhood photos of Li Yulan and Xiang Bei, there was nothing.

Could it be that Gu Ningyue was lying?

No, impossible. What would Gu Ningyue gain by deceiving him in such matters?

In the past, trying to drive a wedge between him and Li Yulan could have made sense, but now that he’s decided to divorce Li Yulan, Gu Ningyue had no reason to lie to him.

Where exactly is the thing Gu Ningyue mentioned?

After searching for a long while, going through it repeatedly, he still found nothing and had to repack everything into the iron box and put it back in place.

Forget it. When he brings Li Yulan back tonight, he’ll know where the thing is.

For something this important, it’s only natural she’d carry it with her.

After resting at home for a while, Gu Zheng returned to the company.

The assistant brought the finalized divorce agreement to Gu Zheng: "Chairman, the divorce agreement is ready. Is there anything you want to change?"

Gu Zheng took it and carefully browsed through it, "No need, leave it as is."

The assistant nodded, "Then, Chairman, shall I see myself out?"

Gu Zheng looked up at the assistant, "Wait, notify the company executives. I’ll be holding an impromptu meeting at four this afternoon. Everyone must attend, and no excuses!"

The assistant was taken aback. Though not understanding why Gu Zheng would make this sudden decision, seeing his unprecedentedly serious look, he still responded, "Yes, Chairman, I’ll notify them right away."

"Mr. Chen and President Li went out for contract discussions in the afternoon, and they might not be back before four. Chairman, what do you think about that..."

As the assistant was about to leave, he seemed to recall something and looked at Gu Zheng as he spoke.

Gu Zheng laughed coldly, "Those two, I’ll talk to them privately. Business is important, but besides them, everyone else must attend."

These two who bite the hand that feeds them, they may dodge the issue once, but not the next time; he has ways to deal with these disobedient dogs!

With a grim expression, the assistant shivered and fearfully left the chairman’s office.

As the sun set, in the Ling Family’s CEO office, Lin Cheng looked at Ling Tianyou behind the desk, "Did you hear? Something major happened at Gujia Company this afternoon!"

"Oh?" Ling Tianyou clasped his hands, looking indifferent, "What major event?"

Lin Cheng smiled mysteriously, "In the afternoon, I was drinking tea after wrapping up a contract discussion with someone from the Gu Family, and suddenly, his phone rang. Before he even spoke, his face turned pale. I thought he was having a heart attack!"

"Then he abruptly stood up, said he had to leave first, and that the contract would be delivered to our company tomorrow. I was curious! So I asked him, but he didn’t reveal anything—after all, it’s their company’s matter!"

Ling Tianyou said indifferently, "Then how do you know it’s something major? Maybe... it’s a family issue."

Lin Cheng was taken aback, observing Ling Tianyou’s expression, "A family issue? Brother Tianyou, do you know something?"

Ling Tianyou smiled enigmatically, "What could I know? It just seems from the current situation, that some people will inevitably have some issues at home."

Lin Cheng listened in confusion, "Brother Tianyou, what exactly do you mean? I can’t understand."

Ling Tianyou shook his head, apparently not intending to elaborate on the matter, "Alright, tell me about your company’s situation now! I still hope you can become my main partner in the future..."

At this, Lin Cheng suddenly became enthusiastic and started speaking fluently.

During this time, he’s likely changed his irresponsible attitude and truly started focusing on work. The company’s improvement has been evident, so the Lin Family elder is much reassured and has praised him publicly.

As a result, Lin Cheng inexplicably found motivation and became even more diligent at work.

Half an hour later, Ling Tianyou stood up and looked at Lin Cheng, "Alright, once this cooperation is over, I’ll take you out for a couple of drinks. That’s it for today; I need to head back. You might not want to go home either!"

Lin Cheng was startled but then quickly followed up, "Brother Tianyou, I came by taxi. My car broke down; can you give me a ride? It’s hard to get a cab at this hour!"

Ling Tianyou hesitated for two seconds, "Alright! But I can only drop you off partway, I have plans tonight."

Before Lin Cheng came, he had already told Gu Ningyue he’d take her to check out a new restaurant tonight.

Lin Cheng’s home is quite far from where Gu Ningyue lives now!

Seeing Ling Tianyou’s expression, Lin Cheng’s curiosity was piqued again, "Got a date tonight?"

Ling Tianyou nodded without covering up, "Yes, taking your sister-in-law out for dinner."

Lin Cheng instinctively asked, "Chen Rui or the Gu Family’s eldest daughter?"

Ling Tianyou’s gaze sharpened, turning to Lin Cheng, "Your sister-in-law is only Gu Ningyue!"

Lin Cheng was stunned by this gaze, and after two seconds, he quickly responded, "Yes... Brother Tianyou, don’t get mad. It was an unintentional slip..."

Lin Cheng was somewhat surprised, thinking Ling Tianyou only had a fleeting interest in Gu Ningyue.

Unexpectedly, after all this time, it remained unchanged...

Just who is this Gu Ningyue?
