Fang Si screamed threats, thinking her qualifications and resources would prevent Gu Chen from easily disposing of her.
But Su Ming, who stood nearby, was speechless. This woman thought she could threaten the eldest young master of the Gu Family? Clearly, she was delusional.
Gu Chen suddenly smiled gently and, under Fang Si’s hopeful gaze, said, “Yes, Gu Corporation would suffer great losses.”
He shook his head regretfully. “So, let’s expose your embezzlement and selling of company secrets together. I’ll make sure they give you a severe sentence.”
“What? Gu Chen! You can’t do this to me!” Fang Si broke down completely, not expecting Gu Chen to be so ruthless.
Su Ming quickly signaled to the others, and several people swiftly dragged Fang Si away.
“Impressive!” Zhao Min discreetly gave Song Fan a thumbs up. Seeing Gu Chen look over, she quickly lowered her head.
“I’ll handle the aftermath. Don’t worry.” Gu Chen walked over to Song Fan, wanting to take her hand, but remembered he forgot to take his medicine yesterday, so he awkwardly withdrew his hand.
Song Fan swiftly grabbed his hand, and the others sensibly returned to their experiments. With Fang Si gone, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
“Oh, President Gu, you have great fortune. Planning to tough it out without medication, huh?” Song Fan’s tone was sarcastic, clearly upset.
Gu Chen quickly explained, “I’ve been really busy lately. I just forgot yesterday, really.”
“So, you’re risking your life. I get it.” Song Fan nodded seriously. “Shall I have them burn the files for you later? Should I burn a tablet for you too, so you can check the files in the afterlife?”
“I was wrong. Can’t you supervise my medication from now on?” Gu Chen immediately admitted his mistake, trying to change the subject, “The Xu Family is hosting a celebration for Xu Wen’s appointment and invited us to join.”
Song Fan was slightly surprised, “Invited us?”
But she quickly understood, “Invited Gu Corporation and Song Corporation, right?”
Gu Chen replied without flinching, “Regardless of who they invited, you’re coming with me.”
Song Fan found his shamelessness increasingly intolerable and sighed helplessly.
“Alright, enough teasing. The Xu Family also invited others.” Gu Chen finally turned serious. “I heard Charlie’s elder brother will be there too, and he’s likely not coming with good intentions.”
Thinking of Peter Brown, who had one kidney damaged by Cao Lei, Song Fan frowned. If he was coming to the capital, it certainly wasn’t for anything good. Remembering Gu Chen’s poisoning, she recalled his mention of his mother’s connection to the Brown Group.
“Do you know anything about this Peter?” Song Fan asked cautiously, unsure if this was a sensitive topic for Gu Chen.
“I don’t know him, only heard he inherited the Brown family’s criminal business. He’s a tough character,” Gu Chen replied. “Charlie hinted that we should be cautious. But I also heard Peter’s health isn’t great; he often needs hospitalization. I couldn’t find any detailed information.”
Song Fan felt uneasy. The Brown family’s three sons were all difficult to deal with. If she hadn’t met Cao Lei on the island, she might not have known about Peter’s damaged kidney.
With Peter frequently needing hospitalization, it indicated serious health issues. Given his background and methods, it was unlikely he couldn’t find a kidney donor. Was he coming to the capital for that?
“Alright, we’ll deal with it when the time comes.” Gu Chen flicked Song Fan’s forehead lightly. “Instead of worrying, why not promote your jewelry? The guests at this event are all suckers.”
Hearing his description, Song Fan burst into laughter, “President Gu, have you already planned who to con?”
Actually, Lingdong Jewelry had been selling well recently and had established a market in the capital. Especially since Charlie had invested in stores in several countries, Lingdong Jewelry was now an international brand. Song Fan wasn’t worried about sales and found them exceeding her expectations.
But Gu Chen thought it wasn’t enough, at least not in his opinion.
He shrugged, “Conning is a strong word. Didn’t Mrs. Xu promise to buy jewelry?”
Recalling the incident caused by Xu Wen at the last press conference, his smile turned sinister, “Since some people can’t stand your success, we should make them bleed a little.”
