Chapter 1344 Comradeship 1

Outside the Gu residence, Gu Qiwu crossed his arms under the cold rain in the morning. It was freezing outside.

“Boss, are we just going to let them go? They mentioned something about evidence just now…” Ah Yong just watched as Doris left, appearing worried. “Doris’s phone call just now was odd. You saw how her expression instantly changed!”

Gu Qiwu looked in the direction where the car left without saying anything. He did not seem like he was cold despite just wearing a sleeping robe in the chilly weather.

Ah Yong did not say anything else when he noticed Gu Qiwu’s expression darken. Gu Qiwu turned and went back into the house as he said, “Call Mu Yuchen’s assistant right away. Something good must have happened on Mu Lingmo and Qi Lei’s end. Also, tell him to protect me no matter what. He won’t have it easy if I’m imprisoned. Moreover, I’ve done my part of the deal, and he needs to recognize that Lingshi is a child of the Gu family.”

“Boss…” Ah Yong was taken aback.

“Just do what I say! We have to stop Doris’s plan immediately. That crazy woman will do anything out of desperation!” Gu Qiwu said coldly before vanishing out of the doorway.

“Yes, Boss!”



The next morning, Mu Yuchen woke up early as usual. He prepared breakfast for the whole family.

It was quiet downstairs when Xi Xiaye came down. She looked around and saw the man reading the newspaper on the sofa.

“Why is it so quiet? Where are Father, Mother, and Grandfather?”

The elders in the family had a habit of waking up early, thus Xi Xiaye found it odd to not see them at this time.

The man averted his gaze to her when he heard her voice. He put the papers away and waved his hand at her. “Christmas is coming soon, so they brought our son to go shopping. Grandfather went to see Elder Su, and they won’t be home for lunch. Is Lingshi still asleep?”

Xi Xiaye went near and sat down beside him. “Mmm, she slept pretty late last night. Let her rest for now.”

Mu Yuchen put an arm around her shoulder before gently kissing her lips. “I’m heading over to the site at South River today. Do you want to come along?”

She nodded. “I wanted to take a look there as well. Vice President Zhang Lan told me that the first phase is reaching the end soon, but…”

Before she could finish her sentence, Mu Yuchen’s phone started ringing. The two of them looked over and noticed Li Si’s name flashing on the screen. Mu Yuchen put the newspaper away and picked up the call.

“Hello? Master?” Li Si’s voice sounded anxious. “Big news!”

“Hmm?” Mu Yuchen gave a brief reply.

Li Si then continued, “Gu Qiwu’s assistant, Ah Yong, called me at 3 a.m. this morning! Doris brought her subordinates over to the Gu residence to have a discussion with Gu Qiwu…” He briefly informed Mu Yuchen what happened over at Gu Qiwu’s place.

Mu Yuchen’s eyes turned cold slowly. “How did Doris get that evidence?” he squinted his eyes and asked coldly. Then, he let go of Xi Xiaye and started drinking the tea he had just brewed slowly while the light in his eyes was flickering. He seemed to have a lot on his mind at the moment.

“Gu Qiwu guessed that Qi Feng must have provided her with the information. Only Qi Feng knew what Gu Qiwu did at that time. However, Gu Qiwu said he swore on his dignity that he didn’t order the killer to kill Wang Qin. He just wanted Missus to be holding the knife when the lights returned. He didn’t expect the killer to actually kill Wang Qin!” Li Si’s tone of voice sounded doubtful as he found the whole situation odd as well.

“Dignity?” Mu Yuchen had a cold grin when he heard those words. “Does he even have that?”

“Certainly not! However, after I analyzed a little, it’s not very likely that was Gu Qiwu’s intentions. The killer either made a mistake, or there was some other intention behind it.”

Li Si offered his own thoughts, “By the way, Gu Qiwu said he can agree to your terms, but he wishes for Miss Lingshi to return to the Gu family.”

“What terms? Gu Qiwu is full of himself. It’s Lingshi’s decision to make whether she wants to return to the Gu family. I won’t interfere with her decision making, but I can’t help with that. As for the rest, I’m willing to cooperate. I’m looking forward to his reaction when the truth about six years ago is revealed.”

“Yes, Master! Master, I found out that Inspector Zhang’s flight will be back in City Z in the afternoon in three days. I suppose he already has what we want. I’ve sent someone to keep an eye on the car workshop owner. He rarely goes out, so it shouldn’t be difficult for us to keep him under control.”

“Be cautious about his safety. I’m sure Doris must’ve noticed something going on behind her back already.”

“Yes, Master! We’ll be able to reveal the truth once we get the evidence! I’m sure Master Lingtian will be able to truly rest in peace by then.”

Mu Yuchen did not reply to Li Si. He was taken aback for a moment, so he closed his eyes for some time before replying, “I’ll leave the rest in your hands.” Then, he put the teacup down before hanging up.

“Stop frowning. It’s good news, after all.” Xi Xiaye pulled at his arm a little when she saw him frowning.
