Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Visiting to Question Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Visiting to Question Gu Cheng finally returned from the jade mine in Diannan.
Along with him was Gu Jiansheng.
That jade mine, they had completely abandoned it.
They left a few subordinates behind to deal with the aftermath at the jade mine.
After all, there was still a lot of equipment and facilities there.
Even if they didn’t want the jade mine anymore, it wasn’t possible just to leave it idle.
They would have to figure out a way to deal with it eventually.
But compared to their fifty million, these things were just a drop in the bucket, the tip of the iceberg.
And Gu Cheng had already scolded Gu Qingfeng and Uncle Gu so fiercely that they were soaked with verbal abuse.
But Gu Jiansheng didn’t know what to do.
And seeing how haggard his father had become these past few days, he didn’t have the heart to say anything more.
Because in his heart, he also wondered whether it was because they were always coveting other people’s things, so Yuling really disliked their behavior, and then took its people and moved away.
Of course, he dare not let Gu Cheng know about this thought.
After all, it was his own father.
Seeing him angry and ranting, he could only silently accompany him by his side.
After arriving at the Imperial Capital, Gu Cheng went straight to Ning Wanru’s residence.
Gu Cheng didn’t go to work anymore.
Because his retirement application had already been approved.
What remained were just some other procedures.
It was only then that Gu Cheng felt as if he had lost everything, both his chicken and the egg.
Ning Wanru’s complexion was ashen, her eyes dark and stormy. Within just half a month, she seemed to have aged a decade or more.
Seeing his similarly haggard son, Steward Wu poured a cup of healing tea for him and asked, “Is there really no hope left?”
“Hmm, it’s been surveyed, there’s no jade vein left…” Gu Cheng said despondently, “We’ve been duped by that old bastard…”
Ning Wanru stood up, “Let’s go, to Yubao Square.”
Gu Cheng’s eyes flickered, he didn’t argue, but followed Ning Wanru as they drove towards Yubao Square.
Gu Jiansheng, worried, also followed them.
Ning Wanru and Gu Cheng stood at the entrance of Yubao Square with their faces clouded over.
And Gu Qingfeng seemed to have anticipated their arrival; he gestured to the few guests inside and said, “Sorry everyone, I have some private matters today, please leave for now, and come back tomorrow.”
There weren’t many guests in the house; some recognized Gu Cheng, and seeing his furious demeanor, they tactfully walked away.
Zhang Yi then closed the doors to Yubao Square.
At this time, Qiaoqiao happened to be at Yubao Square as well.
This time, it was a true confrontation with the enemy, with heightened animosity on both sides.
Without waiting for her son to speak, Ning Wanru pointed at Gu Qingfeng and accused him sharply, “Gu Qingfeng, you are too despicable and shameless.”
Gu Qingfeng calmly asked, “What brings you to say that?”
“Your jade mine is already a depleted mine, yet you sold it to me for fifty million.”
“Was it a depleted mine when I sold it to you?” Gu Qingfeng asked coldly in return.
Ning Wanru was taken aback.
Gu Cheng remained silent.
With a smile playing at his lips, Gu Qingfeng spoke calmly, “The contract is clear in black and white, the handover procedures are likewise complete. All of the jade mines are yours, and as for anything else, what does it have to do with me? Aren’t you both seasoned players in this game? Don’t you understand this simple logic?”
Grinding her teeth, Ning Wanru retorted, “Don’t give me those fine-sounding justifications, I just want to know, the jade mine clearly had jade before, why did it suddenly have none left, can you explain that to me?”
