Therefore, in front of this angry woman, Gu Juexi chose not to stop digging his own grave. After all, it was not easy for Mr. Gu to be able to control himself to this extent.
“Not at all,” Gu Juexi replied elegantly. His current wife was not domineering, but she was unreasonable—this was much more terrifying than domineering.
Ye Yuwei snorted and called her assistant.
Gu Juexi looked up and saw his son giving him a meaningful look while squatting in a horse stance.
Gu Juexi was speechless.
Gu Xicheng was obviously looking at him in disdain.
Gu Juexi ignored his son and decided to let him remain in the horse stance for a while longer. He took his phone and saw Lu Qichuan’s messages.
Lu: [I’ve done some investigation. The arsonist for the arson in the past was not found. I’ve confirmed that Cheng Jie is definitely the mastermind. If Mo Tian is the person who started the fire, Ye Cong’s actions are justified.]
That was the kind of family Ye Cong was born into. If he was living a happy life in the orphanage, then he had every reason to do so.
However, if he had wanted to do that, he would have done it a few years ago. There was no need for him to start taking action now.
Lu: [The problem now is Mo Fei’s certain that Mo Tian is dead while Ye Cong’s certain that Mo Tian isn’t dead. Also, I found out that Mo Tian and Tigger had crossed paths decades ago. They were in human trafficking before, and China was one of their markets.]
Gu: [Human trafficking?]
Lu: [Yes, but they parted ways for some reason. Tigger went into the jewelry business and Mo Tian started to train assassins. He almost monopolized the assassins’ industry.]
Gu Yuexi leaned back in his chair. His fingers were lightly tapping on the table.
Mo Fei was lying.
Gu Juexi was certain that Mo Fei was lying.
Yet, why would Mo Fei lie?
Gu: [Were there no records of the missing persons?]
Lu: [I’ve checked the missing persons’ reports in our country. Other than solved cases, there are many cases of missing infants and babies. It’s not easy to check.]
Gu: [Investigate Mo Fei.]
Lu: [Mo Fei? How are we going to investigate this? Furthermore, she might not be Chinese. There might not be any records in China.]
Gu: [Check the birth records.]
Lu: [What are you trying to say here?]
Gu: [Maybe you’ll find something interesting.]
Gu Juexi slammed his phone on the table and looked at his wife who was about to lose her temper over an investment proposal. He had not interfered with the matters related to the bank after he passed it over to Ye Yuwei, therefore he let Ye Yuwei handle everything.
“The investment proposal is the financial plan we came up with for them. I’ve explained this many times—our job is only to come up with a proposal for them, and there is no hundred percent guarantee that it will be a successful investment. We’re not asking you to use unrealistic promises to trick people for the sake of increasing your performance. Now, that we are getting in a lawsuit, what’s the point of you using your performance indicator as an excuse?” Ye Yuwei stood up and placed a hand on her waist. “Before the Gu Enterprise’s finance team comes to audit our accounts, start firing the culprits.”
Gu Juexi looked up at his wife. If it had been Ye Yuwei in the past, she might not have made this decision. She would have been worried that the young lady did that because she did not know any better. Her heart would soften.
However, for an enterprise—especially a bank where the most money converged—if she could not draw a clear line between earning and losing, she would not be forgiven no matter what lies she had told.
After Ye Yuwei hung up the phone, she made another call. During the whole time, Gu Juexi sat aside and watched because there was no use for him yet.
