The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 601 - 565

Tang He acts very cautiously.

The USB he brought contains the decrypted account books.

The real account books were brought by someone else, and they walked separately, with staggered times.

After Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing looked through them, they directly contacted the police in Capital City.

The information in the account books spanned from a year ago up until March of this year.

It involved transactions from many places.

Fraud, human trafficking, organ trafficking, etc.

This is only a portion of the transaction information.

Outside of these account books, there might be more places, more transactions.

Because of Tang He, Interpol got involved, and the cooperation from various continents expedited the investigation quickly.

To avoid alerting the culprit, all investigations were conducted secretly.

With the guidance of the account books, the investigation direction became much clearer.

At the same time, Qiao Yuxian and Gu Yanjing’s team cooperated fully.

Everyone was busy for a while.

When busy, time passed unconsciously.

Mid-October, after Old Sir Gu’s birthday, Gu Linhai’s recognition banquet started trending heavily on social media.

The news of hosting a recognition banquet was released early.

The actual date was set for months later.

This had a hint of provocation.

Openly provoking Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian.

Look, I’ve informed you of the recognition banquet this early, and with so much time passing, you still haven’t come up with anything. The recognition banquet proceeds as planned.

But Gu Yanjing and Qiao Yuxian’s reaction seemed like they forgot about the recognition banquet, giving no response to Gu Linhai.

Moreover, during Old Sir Gu’s birthday, they were calling their second uncle and chatting casually without mentioning the recognition banquet at all.

This year, Old Sir Gu’s birthday was the same as usual, with family and relatives gathering for a meal.

The only difference was that Gu Zhengyu couldn’t make it this year.

Though Gu Zhengyu was alright, he was severely weakened, and after a few months, his health remained very frail.

Moreover, Gu Yanjing was not letting him enter Capital City.

He remained firm on not allowing it, even for Old Sir Gu’s birthday.

In addition, beneath the festive atmosphere, there was an underlying strange vibe.

Gu Linhai intended to host a recognition banquet, yet the Gu Family in Capital City washed their hands of involvement, though interactions still seemed normal, without any apparent issues.

Besides, Gu Group’s projects continued to be snatched up one after another, with quite a stir online, yet Gu Yanjing didn’t respond at all.

Everyone felt uncertain and quietly calculated their next steps.

After Old Sir Gu’s birthday, relatives left, and Gu Linhai also departed.

Gu Yanjing went to D Continent the next day.

The situation in D Continent was very complex.

Lu Mengyi, Lu Muyao, and Yu Heng Yuan Wei were all there helping in D Continent.

After Gu Yanjing left, Qiao Yuxian stayed at the Gu Mansion for two more days before going to D Continent to find him.

Upon arriving at Taohua Manor, Qiao Yuxian didn’t see Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing had gone out, so she rested at Taohua Manor for a bit and also went out to help with investigations secretly.

Though both were in D Continent, they were busy with their own tasks, only communicating through phones each day.

Most of the mobile communications involved exchanging information.

After another busy night outside, Qiao Yuxian returned to Taohua Manor, took a shower, and went to sleep.

Investigating things stealthily is most suitable at night.

Having been out for several days, Qiao Yuxian hurriedly caught up on sleep once back.

She slept for more than six hours before being awakened by a phone call.

Wen Mingcheng’s assistant called her, consulting her on some matters about Qian’an Group.

She lay on the bed, head buried in the blanket, chatting in muffled tones for a while.

After hanging up the call, she continued lying there for a bit.

Just as she was about to fall back asleep, she remembered the status bar message notification she received earlier.

It was trending news.

It seemed like there was something about Gu Group on it.

She opened her eyes again, picked up her phone, and clicked into the trending news.

There seemed to be no major events in the entertainment circle today, as Gu Group and Gu Yanjing occupied six of the top ten trending topics.

[Gu Yanjing Missing] was still at the top and had exploded.

Qiao Yuxian scrolled down a bit more.

[Gu Group in Disarray.]

[What happened to Gu Group?]

[Gu Group’s projects snatched one after another.]

[Will Gu Linhai take over Gu Group?]

[What actions will Yunzhong Building take?]

[Qian’an Group.]

...

She scrolled further down for more.

Qiao Yuxian glanced at it, finally clicking the top trending topic.

It was exploded by a very small media outlet.

It roughly stated that Gu Group’s projects were being snatched yet no response was made. According to internal sources, Gu Yanjing had not appeared in the company for a long time and was suspected to be missing.

Below were several photos.

They were photos of police entering and exiting Gu Group.

Qiao Yuxian looked down at the comments.

[Gu Linhai hosts a recognition banquet, and over here, Gu Yanjing disappears. I can’t help but suspect there’s a connection between the two events.]

[No wonder there’s been no response, turns out the person disappeared.]

[Where did he disappear to? Why would a person vanish? Gu Group’s such a big enterprise, losing a few projects wouldn’t be much of a deal, not to the extent of playing disappearing games, avoiding responsibility.]

[What if someone wanted him gone?]

[Or there’s a really severe problem within Gu Group, and Gu Yanjing escaped.]

[So who will take over Gu Group? Gu Linhai? Gu Yicheng? Or the one being recognized at the banquet?]

[It’s hard to say. Heard Gu Yicheng hasn’t shown up for a long time either.]

[Has the internal situation within the Gu Family deteriorated to this extent?]

[Will Yunzhong Building stand alone in the future?]

[What about Qiao Yuxian?]

[Oh gosh! I completely forgot, let me go ask on Xi Mei’s Official Website.]

[What a fate for Qiao Yuxian, just found a backer and then the backer collapses.]

[If it were me, I’d definitely run. With Gu Yanjing not around, the debt collectors would come for her eventually.]

[Xi Mei Media seems to be slightly impacted...]

[Qiao Family’s company seems to be affected too.]

[Can’t help but understand everyone’s fickleness for survival, everyone needs to eat. Everyone’s watching and waiting.]

[Latest news, internal sources from Gu Group’s high level, it’s not that Gu Yanjing disappeared, he’s... gone.]

[What do you mean by gone?]

[Gone means no longer around, not in this world, he’s gone.]

[Oh my gosh! What’s the situation? Gu Yanjing was so young. Must have been murdered.]

[So young! Major families are actually this dangerous.]

[Family turmoil is unimaginable for people like us.]

[Suddenly not envious of them anymore.]

[So what happens to Qiao Yuxian?]

[Heard Qiao Yuxian had long divorced him to draw clear boundaries.]

[Even so, I still think Qiao Yuxian is ruthless. Gu Yanjing loved her so much, she was always on his mind, yet she turned around and ditched him.]

[Qiao Yuxian initially only liked Gu Yanjing’s background, didn’t really love him.]

[Someone like Qiao Yuxian, you can tell she enjoys playing around, never will settle down. Thinking she’d have genuine feelings is simply dreaming.]

[Heard Gu Group’s executives are already fighting it out.]

[This time, it seems really serious.]
