The Ice King's Little Trouble Maker-Chapter 604 - 568

"Mm, the feeling," Gu Yanjing suddenly spoke.

Qiao Yuxian was startled, almost dropping her phone.

She looked at Gu Yanjing.

Gu Yanjing looked at her reddened ears and said, "What feeling?"

Qiao Yuxian: "......"

"I also want to hear my wife’s feelings," Gu Yanjing said calmly.

"You..."

Qiao Yuxian realized she had miscalculated.

She had initially intended to drag someone into sharing her embarrassment, enduring the wolves and tigers together.

Unexpectedly, this person’s level was too high, too thick-skinned, with too strong a psychological endurance; she was no match.

"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing’s eyes held a hint of a smile.

"Gu Yanjing, don’t go too far," Qiao Yuxian, unable to answer, started to scare people aggressively.

Gu Yanjing looked at her.

Qiao Yuxian slapped his face and pushed it back a bit: "Ah! You’re even worse than the online commentators!"

Gu Yanjing held her wrist, smiling, "Alright. Let’s not mess around. I won’t ask anymore."

"Hmph," Qiao Yuxian said, "Too much."

"Want to go back to sleep for a bit?" Gu Yanjing asked.

"No, I’m awake," Qiao Yuxian said. "Gonna organize some information. Have to go out tonight. I’ve identified several more trading locations on M Continent. Ugh, the more I investigate, the more victims there are."

Gu Yanjing gently touched her head.

Qiao Yuxian sighed softly again, "Moreover... I have a lead that’s broken on my side."

"Hmm?" Gu Yanjing frowned.

"Found it last night," Qiao Yuxian explained. "A very ordinary and inconspicuous scam lead, but when pursued, this line is broken. It even gives me a feeling of covering something up."

"Or there might be something else mixed in," Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian nodded, paused and asked, "How about your side?"

"Almost done," Gu Yanjing replied, "I’ll go with you tonight."

"No need, you rest," Qiao Yuxian said. "Yuan Wei and Yu Heng are there."

"Have Yu Heng go to Lu Mengyi’s side," Gu Yanjing said.

Qiao Yuxian looked at him, staring, "Why not let Yuan Wei go to Sister Lu’s place?"

"Lu Muyao, those two, can get along without arguing," Gu Yanjing said calmly.

Qiao Yuxian opened her mouth to refute but found she couldn’t: "...... Fine then. I’ll go to the study. You go rest."

"I’ll go to the study too," Gu Yanjing got up with her.

Just as they stood up, Qiao Yuxian’s phone buzzed with several sounds.

Qiao Yuxian gave it a look.

Weibo pushed new trending topics again.

Because her phone was on the Weibo page, the notification alert was quite loud, and the notifications were pretty timely.

Seeing the words "Yunzhong Building," Qiao Yuxian clicked in.

The topic inside, she had no idea who started it.

Anyway, it was a raucous battle between Yunzhong Building and Gu Group.

[Very reliable news, the clarification from Gu Group is indeed false, Mr. Gu hasn’t been terminated, but he really has disappeared.]

[There are so many reliable news today.]

[This time it really is reliable news. A relative in Gu Group told me that Mr. Gu is indeed missing, and it’s been several days.]

[The crisis at Gu Group is much bigger than it seems on the surface and has nothing to do with Qian’an Group in Jin City. The problem is here in Capital City.]

[I work at Yunzhong Building. Recently, we’ve been busy handling projects Gu Group dropped in recent months. Yunzhong Building is bustling.]

[I said, it can’t be Qian’an Group. If Gu Linhai messes with Gu Group, then taking over Gu Group would mean taking over a mess.]

[Not necessarily. Even as a mess, Gu Group still carries the ’Gu’ name; its status is unshakable.]

[Yunzhong Building’s Wen Mingcheng hasn’t appeared for a long time.]

[Wen Mingcheng seems to have been taken away by that mysterious boss. Haven’t you noticed that after Wen Mingcheng left, Yunzhong Building has been particularly aggressive, crazy even, eager to grab even a cent falling from the sky.]

[The boss has the strength, naturally, he’d do so. Who finds too much money a problem? And it’s not that exaggerated; many projects are driven by them, aiming for mutual benefit.]

[Mutual benefit is because they’re afraid of standing out too fast, so they give you a bit.]

[So, several months ago, Yunzhong Building was preparing to deal with Gu Group?]

[Of the big three, only these two are left, naturally wanting to compete.]

[That Yunzhong Building is quite bold; Gu Group has been here in Capital City for how many years. How can a few years be compared, no matter how great?]

[What can be done? Mr. Gu is missing; what do you think can happen?]

[So is Mr. Gu’s disappearance related to Yunzhong Building?] 𝑓𝓇𝘦ℯ𝘸𝘦𝑏𝓃𝑜𝘷ℯ𝑙.𝑐𝑜𝓂

[There’s a 90% possibility.]

[What’s the background of Yunzhong Building? Outwardly stealing business and secretly making people disappear.]

[Police have been to Yunzhong Building a few times. It just wasn’t caught on camera. They’ve suspected Yunzhong Building for a long time.]

[You’ll see. This issue between Yunzhong Building and Gu Group will definitely blow up, and we might witness something.]

[Gu Family won’t let it go easily, Old Sir Gu values Gu Yanjing greatly. He’ll surely act. Especially the Lu Family might take action too.]

[And what about Qiao Yuxian? She just posted on Weibo to clarify. If the clarification is fake, then she hasn’t divorced and is still on the same boat with the Gu Family.]

[Xi Mei Media is struggling too. It wants to support Gu Group, but it’s just an entertainment company; no matter how well it does, how can it compete with Yunzhong Building? Xi Mei is just a small grain of sand in front of Yunzhong Building.]

[The Chu Family and Lin Family are quiet too. Only Lin Huai Shu was active online for a bit. Seems like there’s indeed a big problem.]

[Even if Qiao Yuxian wants to dissociate from the Gu Family now, it won’t be easy. She can only pray for Gu Yanjing’s safe return. Truth is, Qiao Yuxian didn’t have a good time at Gu Family. What you see online is just for show. The whole Gu Family looks down on her.]

[With Gu Group like this, members of Gu Family say it’s all her fault. So the future days will only get tougher.]

[So, who will win this battle?]

...

At this point, Qiao Yuxian stopped reading.

She turned off her phone, rubbed her chin, thought for a while, and looked at Gu Yanjing, "President Gu, what do you think?"

"What does Mr. Qiao think?" Gu Yanjing replied.

"Mr. Qiao uses the phone to check," Qiao Yuxian said seriously.

Gu Yanjing pressed his hand on her head.

Qiao Yuxian shrank her neck, "Who do you think will win between Yunzhong Building and Gu Group?"

"You will win," Gu Yanjing said.

"I’ll win?" Qiao Yuxian looked up at him, smiling, "Then am I on Yunzhong Building’s side or Gu Group’s side?"

"Mine," Gu Yanjing hooked her chin, lightly uttering two words.

Qiao Yuxian was taken aback, then laughed, "You’re quite good with words."

Gu Yanjing chuckled.

Qiao Yuxian stuffed her phone into her pocket, pulled Gu Yanjing’s hand and walked upstairs, chattering as she went, "Seriously, in half a day, they might say I’ve been thrown somewhere to dig coal."

Gu Yanjing said, "Let Meng Yan control it."

"Should control it," Qiao Yuxian said. "It damages my image as a kind, beautiful young girl. Seems like a resentful woman eager to marry into wealth."

"Mm," Gu Yanjing nodded with a smile.
