After settling down, Guan Lei said with a smile, “I want to eat apple too. Xi, can you peel one for me?”
Shen Xi was frustrated. She wanted to reject Guan Lei, but everyone said that Guan Lei was her lover. She was extremely confused now.
She was afraid that what Zheng Huai said was true. She had forgotten about Guan Lei because she had been controlled by someone.
Therefore, Shen Xi peeled an apple and split it in half. Guan Lei took half of it and Gu Chen took another half.
The two of them looked at each other as they ate the apple as if they wanted to eat each other alive.
Gu Chen was usually gentle and elegant. This was the first time Shen Xi saw his childish side.
When Shen Luan and Lu Fei arrived, they saw the tragic scene.
While they were stunned, Shen Xi asked them out to talk.
“Young miss, Sir has got the results from the investigation team. So far, it is okay. Gu An’s sons, Gu Qing and Gu Lin, have made a lot of noise today. I wonder if they have decided to replace Gu An,” Shen Luan reported.
Shen Xi looked at Gu Chen who was eating an apple in the ward and said, “I’ll take a look at this matter.’ .
Lu Fei continued, “The foreign forces that were chasing after Meng Yu and Li Zhe were destroyed by Gu Chen’s a.s.sistant, Qian Tong in the morning. When our men rushed over, the base was filled with dead bodies. That’s why we didn’t find anything else.”
While Gu An was dealing with the domestic investigation, Gu Chen took the opportunity to destroy Gu An’s power overseas. It was understandable.
However, Shen Xi did not expect that Qian Tong would go abroad to destroy Gu An’s power when his boss was kidnapped. This surprised Shen Xi a little.
After all, if something happened to Gu Chen, the Gu family would be controlled by Gu An. Qian Tongs actions were undoubtedly courting death. Perhaps, Qian Tong was very sure that nothing would happen to Gu Chen?
But how could Qian Tong be so sure?
Either Gu Chen had already taken measures to save himself, so Qian Tong was sure that Gu Chen would be fine.
Was this whole incident staged? The Gu family had set up a trap to force her to compromise. However, they did not expect that she would have a backup plan.
Shen Xi wondered if Gu Chen was plotting against her.
Suddenly, Shen Xi felt a slight pain in her head. She temporarily put aside this thought and said to Shen Luan and Shen Yan, “Okay.”
“By the way, our men also saw Young Master Guan’s men over there. They were also late.” Lu Fei said.
Shen Xi didn’t expect Guan Lei’s people to be involved in this matter. “What are Guan Lei’s people doing there?” she asked curiously.
“Haven’t you been exchanging information with Young Master Guan about this?” Lu Fei and Shen Luan asked.
Shen Xi was slightly stunned. She still could not recall.
“Gu Chen, how are you going to deal with your second uncle’s matter?” Shen Xi asked as she returned to the ward.
Guan Lei looked at Gu Chen gloatingly. He wanted to hear how Gu Chen was going to lie.
Gu Chen said in a low voice, “Regarding the Ninghai Project, we will just see the results of the investigation team. As for the a.s.sa.s.sins who went after Meng Yu and Li Zhe, I’ve already submitted all the information. I think the sentence won’t be too short. As for his foreign forces, I’ve already destroyed them all yesterday. You don’t have to worry.”
“Yesterday, you were kidnapped. Why would Qian Tong leave you behind and go abroad? Isn’t he afraid that something will happen to you?” Shen Xi asked casually.
“How could something go wrong with a scheme that you designed yourself?” Guan Lei provoked, “Right, Master Gu?”
Gu Chen ignored Guan Lei. He knew that Shen Xi was suspecting him.
However, he did not panic. He said with a smile, “l made the plan yesterday a long time ago. I was afraid that there would be an accident, so when I
emphasized to Qian Tong that no matter what happens, even if I die, the plan must be carried out as scheduled.’
“Why did you do that?” Shen Xi frowned and asked in disagreement.
“Xi, I know how important Meng Yu is to you, so I want to protect the person you want to protect. I simply feel that if Second Uncle’s foreign forces collapses, Meng Yu should be safe for a few years.” Gu Chen said with a faint smile on his face.
Guan Lei snorted coldly. Gu Chen was really pretentious..
