"If you had that kind of ability, he would have retired long ago, no need to wait until today."
Gu Chen’s words left him speechless.
Indeed, if Lu Jinyang would listen to him, he would have returned long ago to be his almighty CEO.
"Alright, go back and sit tight, I’ll continue making calls." Gu Chen resignedly went on dialing the number, now it’s a matter of trying anything in desperation.
As soon as Gu Chen dialed the number, he slumped onto the sofa, about to say something to Leng Yixing, when he suddenly sat up, staring at his phone in disbelief.
At the same time, Leng Yixing dashed over in a few strides, eyes wide as he stared at Gu Chen’s phone.
They exchanged a glance, both seeing wild joy in the other’s eyes.
"Pick it up, pick it up quickly–"
Reminded by Gu Chen, Leng Yixing then pressed the answer button.
From the other end of the phone, a voice still steady and composed came through, making Leng Yixing feel that there was no sound more beautiful in the world.
"Thank heavens, finally got in touch with you. No time for chit-chat, your woman is getting sentenced tomorrow, you have to take care of it tonight, no matter what. I’ve sent the details to your email."
A moment of silence followed from the other end, Leng Yixing was almost frantic, just as he was about to pass the phone to Gu Chen, the voice finally came through again.
After hanging up, Leng Yixing collapsed onto the sofa, motionless, then said to Gu Chen, "Let’s get some sleep now, or we won’t be able to tonight."
However, just as he lay down, Gu Chen’s phone rang, and Leng Yixing cursed under his breath and sat up straight, taking the call once more.
Gu Chen, used to Leng Yixing’s antics, quietly flipped through documents on one side until Leng Yixing called out to him.
"He told us to root out that hacker, he’ll handle the rest." Googlᴇ search Novᴇl_Fire(.)net
"That simplifies things."
Leng Yixing looked at him as if he had seen a ghost, "Mr. Gu, if I remember correctly, haven’t we been trying for several days without any luck in tracking down that hacker?"
Gu Chen glanced at him, "There’s still such a thing as money in this world, a high reward will bring forth a brave man."
"Tsk tsk, who would’ve thought Mr. Gu could outsmart me one day." While speaking, his hands didn’t stop moving, slender fingers flying across the keyboard.
Eventually, dawn broke.
Qin Huaixin walked in listlessly. Seeing Zhuang Shuqing peacefully asleep on the bed, her heart ached quietly.
In the middle of the night, unable to sleep and remembering Leng Yixing’s words, she left the police station and returned home, coincidentally meeting Qin Zhao who was about to rest.
For some reason, she had no desire to recall that scene.
She only remembered that during the entire conversation with her father, his focus was on the law.
Yes, currently all the evidence pointed to Zhuang Shuqing. Even if she said Zhuang Shuqing wasn’t mainly responsible, nobody would believe her, right? Since she had no evidence.
In the end, she returned to the police station, heartbroken.
Zhuang Shuqing was woken up by the noise of the police, telling her the court was about to begin proceedings.
To everyone’s surprise, she didn’t wail or cry; instead, she followed the police out calmly.
Qin Huaixin followed behind her, her face filled with sorrow. The quieter Shuqing was, the more heartbreaking it was to see, just like her unknown resilience over the years.
"Zhuang Shuqing," she called out.
Seeing the police beside her stop, Qin Huaixin continued, "Rest assured, Leng Yixing and the others will certainly find a way. Besides, with Lu Jinyang having such influence in City B, how could Mrs. Lu possibly have any troubles!"
